When love is banished
And hope has fled.

The days are long, and the days are
dreary;
Our hearts are weary
And in distress,
AS through the blur of our tear-wet
lashes
We see the ashes
OF happiness,
From brooding over our lives left
lonely,
We seek the only
Escape we know,
BY going back to the sweet affections
And recollections

Our dreams OF love and our golden
visions,
The fond ambitions

BY stern DEGREES of the Real, broken.
Have left their token
Of unshed tears,
Without remorse are the fates that

Those hopes we never

But although lost, they renew their

Within the story
OF long ago.
When love proves false and we seem
forsaken.
Our spirits shaken
With sorrow sore.
There is one solace Time can't deny
us.
Which fingers by us,
For evermore.
We dream on our lips a soft mouth

The sweet caresses

Our hearts yet revel amid the pleas.

informed yesterday by telegraph that
mere than 200 men and women had
already formed in iine before the and
office in Les Angles. in order to be
the first en- hand on March / when
the allotments were scheduled to be
made. The hardships that would re-
suit frcm such an endurance test did
not appeal to the secretary, 50 he
wired the land office that different
plan had been adopted
In accordance with the new arrange
ment the secretary has ordered that
hall or a base ball park, large
enough to accommodate all who de-
sire to participate in the allotment.

DR. PATTEN TELLS WHY
LIVING COSTS so MUCH.

In an article on The Crisis in
American Home Life in the cur
rent number of the New York Inde-
pendent. Pref Simon n Patten Phi. D.
LII. D.. of the chair of poitica' g.
concmy in the University of Pennsyl-
vania, discusses the subject of the
high cost of living in an original and
startling manner
DR. Patten says we are so used TO
pounding millionaires and denourcing
trusts that the underlying fact of the
lack of capital is overlooked. Fam
lilies with incomes Of $1,000 a year
have set a new standard of liberality
in expenditures.
The constant pressure to keep up
appearances. a ong with the decay of
the moral instruction emphasizing the
benefits Of frugality and saving, has
taken from industry the people who
formerly were the great source Of its
capital Because the day laborer still
saves, we assume that all classes a.
bove him are likewise saving.
THE new standard of living has
cut down the amount of saving, as II
has likewise cut down the number of
children per FANNY. Small families
and small savings are two effects of
one cause, high standard of liv-
ing The family with no children is
also the family with no saving"
Another cause that Dr. Patten finds
in the present crisis is the new status
Of wcmen. Fcrty years ago man
could i've. well on $1,000 year.
Under the magic of the wife's hand
this 81 900 became $500 or $4,000.
The wife created more value by in
dustry in the home than her husband
did out CT it. In her hands cloth be-
came c'othes. our bread. and fresh
fruits the winter preserves.
New all things are done outside
the home and must be purchased with
the 81 900 income. The wife no longer
contributes to the family income by
creating value. and with the increased
standard of elaborate dressing, she
is often its chief burden.

Boycott On Mea. Causes Death.

AT least one death in Chicago can
be charged up to the boycott on
meat. Last week, after a vegetarian
diet for four days, Gcff Peller. a
sign painter. could resist no longer
and began ravenously on a huge beef
steak and choked to death on almost
the first mouthful. He purchased a
large steak, cooked it himself, and
combining 1t with Il loaf of bread.
made a giant sandwich.
Two fellow workmen were present
and Peller imagined they were envy
ing him the meal.
You fellows are not going to get
any of this; it it too good to waste"
he said and then began to choke. a
piece of steak lodged in his throat
and. although the three men did
their best to pull it out. they could
not. Pel.er died before a physician
arrived.
