BAD For Good Bows,

One of Lady Reay's recollections Is
OF dinner party at which she had for
her neighbor Mr.. Gladstone in his hap
piest mood. He told her Of his Elton
experience and tales of terrible little
DR.. Keate. The latter always had the
names OF those doomed to be fogged
written down on narrow slip Of
paper.
One day, picking up such list, he
called up for hoggng the boys whose
names were inscribed upon It. Upon
such occasions the delnQuents were
not permitted to offer explanations,
so boy after boy was castlgated and
returned sore and savage to his seat.
Not until the operation was complet.
ed did he learn that instead Of the fog.
glng he had picked up the slip on
which we're the names OF the boys
about to be confirmed. London Ideas,

DUSK AND THE WHIPPooRWILL.

DUSK AND THE WHIPPooRWILL
(From the New York Sum-
The wet gold Of the rainy dusk
Died over woods and hills,
When through the -Maytime's deeps
of musk
Cried clear the whippoorwills.
One called afar, and one, loud-heard,
Answered quite near at hand;
Each seemed the utterance Of a word
My heart could understand.
A word OF wonder and of dream
That held me when child,
With charm Investing every stream
And every woodland wild.
That led me, most mysterlously,
Down haunted forest ways.
With magic Of wild melody
Back to the old hill days.
Unto door o'ergrown with rose
Where still with tender eyes
My childhood smiles, while round 1t
glows
The love that never dies.
