HER PORTRAIT.

Whose folds caress her form in

Her fingers. supple, slim. are loose

Her gown but slightly girdled at the

Revealing the firm swell of rounded hips;
The painter falters at her perfect lips.
Where Joy and sadness blend so subtly

Her chin a symphony of grace, complete;
Her nose retrousse Il must tell the TRUTH

A Curiosity of Sound.

II when riding in balloon at a

guncotton be fred electrically 100 feet
below the car, the report, though really
as loud as cannon, sounds no more
than pistol shot, possibly partly
owing to the greater rarity of the air,
but chiefly because the sound, having
no background to reflect it. simply
spends itself in the air. Then, always
and under all conditions of atmosphere,
there ensues absolute silence until the
time for the echo back from earth has
fully elapsed. when deafening out
burst of thunder rises from below,

struck for higher pay. While the

the cashiers and clerks-were called

As they went about the town doing

leather shoes, kid gloves and fur lined
overcoats, they attracted good deal
of attention. One old dame was heard
to say:

KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY.


xXTIE may preach of peace and
w Yet we know that war 1,
coming
And must keep our powder dry.
For the greed of foreign nations
May invade this glorious land,
When heroic. fighting soldiers
Shall be then In chief command.
Then cunning cashier commerce
VIII soon vanish to the rear
And yell for quick protection
To brace up its golden fear.
When the battleships and cannon.
With brave warriors In their might,
Are the only sure salvation
That is anywhere in sight.
The monarchies of Europe
And those of Asia, too,
Still hate with secret hatred
The old red and white and blue.
But with the new republics
In this western hemisphere
Our soldiers and our sailors
Shall defy all threat and fear.
The only way to keep the peace
Among all nations day and night
Is to be ready hour by hour
To march to battlefelds and fight.
And more than all in peace or war.
No matter who may live or die.
The soldier is our hope and pride
And ever keeps his powder dry.

Genns In Verse
BED,


a PLACE where nature finds repose.
~ Where man forgets both friends
a and foes,
4 AWhere slumber dries the eyes that
weep
In the sweet mysteries of sleep
No one would change a bed Of down
Or even straw for kingly crown.
Sleep closes tight the gates of care.
The poor man finds his palace there.
Unconsciously while there it seems
We woo the deity of dreams
And wander Ear while taking rest
To the fair islands of the blest."
IT'S there the iron of anguish yields
And fancy leads through fiowery fields.
Its pillows those of sweet content.
Forgetfulness with rest is blent.
There loosened are the captive's chains.
The slave his freedom there regains.
And ever since the world began
A friend to every friendless man
A harbor where We anchor cast,
Unmindful of grief's fercest blast
where lost Is sense of fear and dread
In sweet Inconsistencies in bed

A The aspen leaves win stir
