TIRED.

TIRED. What is the dream that the old man
 dreams
 When the firelight glmmers low? A radiant face on his memory giealns, A face of the long ago, When the world was a region of sweetness
 and light And he never had doubted the truth When the dawn of each morning shone
 heavenly bright On the 'brave-hearted days of his youth. And ever the wind that moans through
 the trees Seems breathing a dirge of the past, That whispers he's draining life's cup to
 the lees, World-weary and broken at last. And gazing far back OCT the way he
 has trod, By the hosts of misfortune beset, He thinks of the slumber that waits
 meath the sod, With scarcely a trace of regret.

Concerning British Ambassadors

James Bryce may not have been as successful in the diplomatic field as in pure statesmanship or in the world of letters but ne has made a splendid and lasting impression upon Americans" said a professional man.
 Most of the British ambassadors are titled men-sometimes srs and sometimes lords Those who have been created knights in recognition of their diplomatic service expect to be peers later on. Some of the titled ambassadors have been democratic enough but, as rule, they belong to the nobility class, whether they be lords or simply sir knights. It seems to. me that 1t would be good governmental policy for Great Britain to send com moners as ambassadors to this country. A few snobbsh Americans may like to pay court to English lords, but the majority of our we'll bred people take more naturally to untitled gentlemen.
 MT. Bryce is a native of Belfast. He has been a conspicuous figure in Great Brisains public life for many years. He was regarded as very able man in the liberal cabinet in the early 90s and would have been offered a seat in the house of lords had he cared for, such an honor. Gladstone declined the offer of a peerage and MT. Bryce is of the Gladstone type He has preferred to remain a commoner.'

A. to Musical Advantages

.while it is true, as MT. Spencer Jones of New York remarked in Lobby in- terview, that interest in musical art is much greater now than it was a few years ago. it would be still more in evil dence if young music pupils heard artists perform works by the great composers" said well known amateur. "one dis tinct advantage which young people who study music in Boston, New York, Chicago. Cincinnati and a few other big cities have is that they can attend symphony concerts every week, to say nothing of virtuoso recitals. But in Blr- mingham and other southern cities, com parativey few pupils go to hear the artists that come this way. During my sojourn here I have found even at fes- tival concerts where a symphony orehes- tra was the attraction that many music teachers were conspicuous by their ap- sence, to say nothing of the absence of boys and girls"
