A Ballade of ate
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK.

THERE was man who died too young
l. A handsome fellow, rich and gay,
Loved by the men he walked among,
Ever a winner, fight or play.
They put him in the ground today
While crying comrades stood apart;
They did not know and could not say.
The Master has it on His chart.
III
There is man forlorn, unstrung,
Hopeless and homeless, bent and gray:
Who, when the sparrow's song is sung
Leaves the park bench and hmps away,
Dreaming, perchance, of some old May
That makes a tear unwelcome start.
His course through life he can not stay;
The Master has it on His chart.
->sry>@
There was a girl by sorrow stung-
A girl who could not whisper nay.
She listened to a lying tongue
And has her little debt to pay
What is the sentence? Tell me. pray
You with your sharp and slanderous dart.
Der Love and Life we hold no sway
The Master has it on His chart.
ENVOY.
Kismet Q Kismet Though we stray
Until the ceasing of the heart,
Or join at once the vast array.

Foolish Women.

The mania that women, and es-
pecially young girls, have for in
eliminating themselves on paper is
one of the things that nobody can
explain. They don't even know why
they do il themselves. But set a
woman down at a writing desk
with plenty of good white paper
before her, and a pen that doesn't
scratch. and a man to write 10.
and she goes on kind Of ink jag,
and writes things that she never
intended to- that she doesn't mean,
aud that she bushes to remember
The longest day she lives.

an who wouldn't think of telling a
man she loved him if she was face
to face with him, will write him the
most sickening love letters. And
she'll pour forth all of these mushy
expressions, and put down in black
and white all of this dieaWay af-
lection. not because she is con-
sumed with an Overwhelming pas
sion for him, but because she thinks
it sounds grand, and poetical, and
romantic.
If any course of study could
make girls see what folly it is to
write such letters. how they cheap
en- themselves in a mans eyes by
doing it, and how idiotic and ridic-
ulous these poor little missives
seem to other people, let us not
only introduce it into the public
schools, and every other school and
D.. college in the land, but make it
compulsory course at that.

n CINCINNATI professor advo-

writing love letters as part
of the public school curriculum. He
thinks that the exchange of billet

Well, did you ever! What makes
this gentleman, who must be highly
educated, suppose that love letters
are literature? They aren't. They
are plain, unmitigated slush If

Go to, Professor. you are old

that have been addressed individ-
ually to ourselves. And goodness
knows they weren't literature!
The only possible justification for
introducing course of love-letter
writing into the public schools
would be to impress on children in
their early. formative years not to
write love letters at all under any
circumstances or prOvocation The
danger Of it might be taught along
with the danger of drink, and thus
prove Of untold value to the rising
generation.
Little boys in Nnickerbockers

the children.

Economic conditions" Where
have | heard that phrase before?
oh. yes! It's what they say when
they want to tell why a woman
kills her husband and runs away
With another man. It's the phrase
they use when they explain why a
man robs the man who pays him a

and she'll mind hers.

very much, in my opinion-not half
