THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.

The CRY OF THE DREAMER
/ am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded haunts of men;
Heart-weary of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again.
And long for the dear old river
Where dreamed my life away;
For dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in day.
am sick of the snowy seeming
OF life that is half a lie;
OF the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor,
| would go where the children play;
For dreamer lives forever,
And a thinker dies in day.
| can find no PRIDE but pity,
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
0, the little hands too skillful,
And the child-mind choked with
weeds!
The daughters heart grown willful,
And the fathers heart that bleeds.
No, no. from the streets rude hustle
From trophies of mart and stage,
would fly TO the woods low rustic,
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream, as of old, by the river,
And be loved for the dream always;
For a dreamer lives forever
And the toiler dies in day.

Superstition Royalty Respects.

Canterbury Cathedral, like most
Gothic cathedrals, is decorated with
innumerable inches for statues. At
Canterbury series of these niches Is
occupied with statues OF kings and
queens Of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied.
An old tradition has It that when
all the inches are filed the throne of
England will come 10 an end. Queen
Victoria was approached with a view
to statue OF herself being placed in
one of the four remaining inches. but
her late majesty was aware Of the old
tradition, and refused.
One wonders whether In the future
there Will be four monarchs OF Eng
land sufficiently indiffes eut to super.

their effigies to fiji tfi ynoccupied

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.

Subscriber" SIS President Wilson
the first school teacher to enter the
White House?" John Adams taught a
grammar school at Worcester, Mass. !;
j. S. Adams was professor of rhetoric
at Howard; Fillmore and Pierce were
school teachers and Garfield and
Arthur were college presidents. Nc
Kinley also had taught school, but
none was professional educator like
Mr.. Wilson.
'peader:" "What is a Scotch YER
dict? What states have abolished capt
tai punishment?" A jury in Scotland
consists of fifteen men in criminal
cases and q majority renders the ver-
dict. Hence majority verdict is call
ed Scotch verdict. Michigan, Kan
sas, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Maine
and Minnesota have done away with
capital punishment.
"X. Y. H." How many Indians are
there in the United States? In what
States are they found?" On June 80
1912 the Indians in this country num-
bered 327,34S. They are found in all
the states. Delaware has the fewest
namely five and Oklahoma the greatest
number, namely, I1L444.
Student" "Why is the blunder of
speech called a 'bulP and usually goes
to the credit of an Irishman? What is
the kind of blunder?" The name was
derived from an Irish lawyer in Lon
don, obadiah Bull, whose laundering
in this way during the reign of King
Henry VII, made him famous. A bull
is an inadvertent contradiction in
terms, such as 1.-THE poor man lay

Student" why are troy weight

Troy weight is London weight from
"Troytown," y a name given to London

Trojan refugees. Avoirdupois, the
weight brought to England by the
Normans, is Norman French for goods
sold by weight" from noun, ''avoirn

FRANTIC SEARCH FOR WOOD
Superstitious Customer in Modern
Barber Shop Had Hard Time to
Find the Object Desired.

well, how's the neuralgia" queried
the barber, sympathetically as he
poised the razor over Thompsons
lathered face in tonsorial emporium
Haven't had any since last"--and
then the barber was dumfounded to
see his customer rap hard on the arm
of the chair. He was further aston.
ished when Thompson sat up, jumped
to the floor and ran to the marble
wash bowl, where another customer
was in process Of being shampooed.
Thompson reached under the stool
on which the customer was sitting,
and raped 1t. Then, with a look OF
dismay he turned wildly and made a
sprint to the cigar counter at the far
end of the room. There he raped his
knuckles on the wooden frame. while
BARRIERS and customers, in various
stages of Darbering and hair cutting,
stopped and stared.
ITS all right" he grinned from be.
hind his coat Of lather. Had to touch
wood you know, after making that
statement about not having had neil
ralga. / sure don't want it again."
You surely don't have much wood
In these places" he observed as the
barber somewhat gingerly began the
shaving operation anew. This chair
is made of enamel, glass, nickel and
leather, that stool seat Is made Of
some kind Of leatherette composition,
and l do believe the only thing in
your shop made Of wood Is that cigar
counter frame"
Then Thompson's barber and the
other BARRIERS went on shaving.

The Culebra cut, which proceeds 8
miles in almost straight line through
the backbone of the Canal Continent

mighty scenic canon, and impressive ar
titicial gorge in which are employed
regiments of steam shovels and armies
of railway dump cars. Every minute
II carloads Of rock and gravel are torn
from the earth by mammoth steam
shovels; every hour sixteen hundred
pounds Of dynamite are exploded. More
than two million cubic yards OF soil are
wrested from this continental divide
every 30 days. The big steel shovels
are almost human when at work, load

minutes. The enormous equipment
now used includes 3l5 locomotives, A.

The total excavation of earth and rock
