POETRY
HOPELESS AGE.

As age draws on. how grows the soul
 fOrlorn That in her youth was wont to seek the sky And, like an eagle. put the mountains
 by, The peaks that now loom dark against
 the morn: For 10, her strength is gone, the spirit
 worn That urged her up and filled her
 clOudless eve With light that gleamed upon her
 altars high, But now seems not upon those altarg
 born. Faintly through the shadows now she moves; her wings Trail in the dust, like golden dreams
 that fade; Her eyes are on the earth, her
 thoughts are there: No more ma she drink deer of those
 clear springs That her iOy. but rnuqt fu
 Deaths cold shade lmbibe the rayless vintage of Despair.
 John Rhuddlau.

EVIDENCE OF MUCH
 BRIBING OF JURIES.
New District Attorney Threatens tc
 Put Stop to Evil.

Chicago, Dec. 2-There is, or has been, much bribery in connection with criminal court juries in Cook county, according to Maclay Hoyne, who was sworn in as district attorney today.
 MT. Hoyne made this statement, which, he said, was based on a pre- liminary investigation, in outlining his policies as states attorney.
 "A preliminary investigation shows a scandalous state of affairs in the criminal court" said Mr. Hoyne, "and if fuller investigation develops legal evidence I am after jury bribers"
 To go into details of the charges at this time, MT. Hoyne said, would de- feat the ends of justice.

VERY FINE LUNCHEON SALAD

Eggs and Cheese.

AS there is no dish more appetfzfng
than salad for an afternoon luncheon,
the following recipe may he gladly
followed by girls when making up a
luncheon menu. Take one ripe, juicy
orange; one large, ripe banana; one
mellow, yellow apple; one mellow
pear; tire large, perfect figs; one
white, crisp stalk Of young celery; a
medfum-sized piece Of American
cheese Unjust be old and crumbifng)
two hard boiled eggs. Cut each into
small pieces, grating the cheese.
When all have been we'll mixed to
gether with q. wooden spoon in a
wooden bowl, pour over the whole the
juice of two lemons, twice. the guam
tity Of olive OIL, a bit OF mustard and
salt, which have been beaten together
till thick. Put into a mason jar, cover
tightly and place in the ice box. When
thoroughly chilled, put two spconfuls
upon crisp white lettuce leaf on a
small salad plate and serve with thin
slices of breadland butter. This, with
a cup of rich chocolate, makes an APP
petizing combination for luncheon. It
may be followed by an ice or. whipped

less nights, nursing bottles and warm
