himself brain fever deciding which was

Cleaning-or more bricks for wall

One day he came home and found
that his wife had saved money out Of
her housekeeping allowance, and was
re-papering the dining room. And then
he started to rave.

GLASSES
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

NJ ANY lads and many lasses
N Look at life through rosy
glasses,
But the Dream-Day swiftly passes
And the night comes on apace.
Then the rosy tint grows faded
And the senses. worn and jaded,
Tell, like five grim ghosts paraded.
That we've lost our days Of grace
Still when we have reached the West
land,
To a weary soul the Bestland.
And are dreaming of the Blestand
Far beyond a worldly shore,
In review before us passes
Some small groups Of lads and lasses
Wearing rosy tinted glasses
Glasses that we knew before.

And crazy rsg-time tunes,
For opera ! wouldn't give
A pair OF pewter spoons.
From classic concerts and the like
want to run away;
I'd rather hear the jigs and things
That Silss used to play.
He'd bring his fiddle up o nights
When he was counting me.
And, bashful-like. would pick tho
strings,
And hold II on his knee,
And when he could no longer think
OF any more to say,
He'd lift It up, and take the bow,
And start right in to play.
Dear mother left her knitting then,
And father dropped his pipe,
And all the folks came trooping In
For fun and frohc ripe.
The music got into their feet,
II heads were gold or gray,
And everybody had to dance
When Silas used to play
We rolled the parlor carpet up.
Twas red ingram and new
And moved the chairs and tables out,
And round the room we flew
Though more than fifty years ago,
1t seems but yesterday
I tripped so lightly to the tunes
That Silas loved to play.
We married, and we prospered, too,
And came to live IN town,
And for the ticker and the tape
He laid the fiddle down.
But life has never been TO me
50 carefree or so y.
And music never half SO sweet
Since Silas ceased TO play.

1t S Love, Love,
- Love! y
By FRANCES L. GARsIDE.

They always speak of it as loves
young dream. because it so rarely lives
to be old.
An engagement is like o-morrow,
but marriage is like to-day.
Introduce wisdom into love affair
and you wreck it.
Two important ways for woman to
avoid disappointment are never to fan
in love, or put anything in the oven
The reason the love-making on the
stage is so perfect is that he knows
he will not have to pay for her clothes
and groceries after the curtain falls.
It doesn't take much to begin a ro-
nance but there is often wreck az
the stopping place.
Love makes the world go round but
# takes jealousy to make it move
lively.
A popular song has this refrain Il
don't know why / love you, but do
Don't try to discover the why of low
ing. Trying to find out why one loves
results as tragically as punching a hole
I'm a drum to see what makes the noise
Probably one reason the birds are so
happy is that they don't have to be
married to the same bird longer than
one season.
Love is often largely a matter of
nothing else going on.
The government is so jealous i'm pro
hibting matter in the nature of lot
terry going through the mails. it is
wonder IL doesn't hold up love letters
Is a kiss sblunder or a crime?
II is pleasant TO talk of one
love for life. but actual experience
proves that IL is easier to transfer a
heart than it is TO transfer a piece of
real estate.

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.

The scene Of the story is laid in
the Vanderlip Hotel. New York
City. The Princess Maria Theresa
Of Segura, a beautiful Spanish
woman, is suddenly awakened in
her suite by the sound of pistol
shots. She hears a man running
down the hall. He crashes against
her door breaking the lock, and
enters. She sees he is a tall, good
looking young man, dressed in
evening clothes. He is carrying a
revolver in his right hand, and
blood Is dripping from a wound in
his left. He begs the Princess to
hide him. She, moved by some in
describable impulse decides that
she will. She directs him to an
inner room, and a few minutes
later, when the hotel detective
knocks on the door, she tells him
she is all right and sends him
away. The young man, VINO is
Warren Jarvis, Of Kentucky, comes
out of his hiding place, and the
Princess, for the first time, notices
his wound. She is moved to SYM
pathy and showers him with ques-
lions as to what has occurred. Jar
Wis tells her about a Kentucky
1euu between MS family ana an
other named Markham. He says
he left Kentucky to avoid the feud-
lists, but encountered one Of them
in the hotel, which explains the
shots. The Princess declares she
will help him, and then asks the
stranger question, Are you afraid
OF ghosts?" Jarvis laughs, but
grows solemn when the Princess
tells him she has dangerous work
for him to do. She makes him
swear allegiance, and creates him
her "vassal." Then she tells him
to get her trunk, which is going
to be shipped to a steamship on
which she sails to Spain the fol-
lowing day. First Jarvis tells her
to telephone to his servant, Rusty
Snow, a negro. The servant is in
structed to procure passage for
himself and Jarvis in the ship.
Jarvis then prepares to get into
the trunk, but first begins to dues-
ton the Princess about herself

cheerful view of life, and has signed

prosaic method of taking a running
