NEVERTHELESS.

He heard the flies at the end of the street.
He heard the marching of thousands Of feet;
The rush and the murmur. the beat of the drum.
The sudden strange deirium;
He the golden banners and flying flags.
The rapturous faces of lads and hays
The light romance, and CLEAN of it all.
But he did not see the lonely camp fires burning
On distant fields and he forgot the yearning
Of aching hearts when nights were filed with
dread;
He did not the piteouS helpless dead.
He did not think of sorrow and alarms,
The empty years that Knocked his empty arms;
He did not think of many blood-stained hill
Yet had he thought he would have followed still .
She heard the Story-old as the years;
She waited through nights of girlhood fears
For the dream to come as come it must
And make glory of the dust.
She said ''No love shall be like ours
Life s roadway bright with eternal flowers. -
She saw the beauty, the light of it all
But she did not know of days and nights of
weeping,
Heart-breazing absence and slow shadows creep,
ing
She did not know Love has its day-and night
And she forgot the thoms amid the roses,
Forgot that sometimes Loves book softly closes ;
She did not know Loves SORROWS blind and kill
Yet had she known, she would have followed
still!

SPORT NOTES
Sam Hon chaIIenaes Kauai.

Signing himself ''Yours for Sport"
Sam Hop recently sent a challenge to
the Kauai Athletic Association for
series of ball games to be played at
Lihue between the Aala Baseball team
and All Kauai on July list, End and 4th.
Sam is modest in his demands, for all
he wants are the expenses of the team
10 and from Lihue and accommodation
But he naively adds, after suggesting
that all the gate receipts go to Kauai,
"in case you make more than you
think enough and think it proper to
give us some of it, why we don't care"
Sam is a humorist and ought to get
satisfactory reply from Kauai.

Results In The Coast League

The race for the pennant in the Pa
cific Coast League is very keen, par
ticularly between the Seals and Port
land, but all the teams, excepting the
Angels, may be said to be in the run
ming. The games played from the 9rd
to the 9th insts. inclusive made no
change in the standing of the clubs,
though the percentages were altered
somewhat. San Francisco gained
slightly on Portland, and, on the day
the mail left, was within striking dis
lance of the leading place. Oakland
and Vernon receded a trife and Sac
ramento drew up to half a game from
Vernon, while the Angels also in
creased their percentage.
Sacramento had slightly the better
of Oakland in the five games played,
getting three of them; Los Angeles
beat the Seals in four out of the six
games played, getting four straight
victories before the Seals broke into
the run, and Portland broke even with
Vernon, the villagers getting the sec.
ond and fourth games.
