MY APRIL LADY.

When down the stairs at morning
The sunbeams round her float,
Sweet rivulets of laughter
Are bubbling in her throat;
The gladness of her greeting
Is gold without alloy;
And in the morning sunlight
think her name is Joy.
When in the evening twilight
The quiet book-worm lies
{ We read the sad old ballads.
While from her hidden eyes
The tears are falling, falling,
That's her heart relief;
And in the evening twilight
think her name is Grief
My little April lady
Of~sunshine and of sorrows
She weayes the old spring magic
And breaks her heart in flowers!
But when her moods are ended,
She nestles like dove;
Then by the pain and rapture
know her name is Love.

Caught downtown umbrellaless on a

then, deciding to risk my best bonnet
in the slightly slackened shower, l
started across to a Sixth avenue shop
to purchase an umbrella AS l stood
under the elevated getting what pro-
lection | could and waiting for hold
up in the traffic, young girl stepped

the knee, her hair forming "ear fiops"
down over her too pink cheeks, and
blue, blue eyes peering through a
fringe of flaxen yellow, above which
was bow three times as big as the
hat it adorned, she was in every de-
tail the latest cry Of her type.
One glance and she seized me by
the arm to draw me beneath her UNI

said.
Even If my mind had not been on

have met half way her spirit of friend

Which Leg?

In small town in the west of Scot.
land the town clerk, who was a bit of
a character" had the misfortune to
lose his leg in a railway accident.
AS mark Of appreciation and es.
TEEN for his long service, the council
unanimously agreed to replace his
loss with an artificial limb, which they
did as soon as he was sufficiently re-
covered
A few months afterwards the town
clerk, who was generally known by
his Christian name, Paul, was unfor
tunate enough to have his other leg
fractured in trap accident.
Naturally the mishap became food
for town gossip. and one old wife, in
discussing the matter with a neighbor
was overheard saying:
IT'S gey bad business for Paul
,puir man; but is't his ain leg or the
leg that belangs to the toon that'f
broken?"

Young sandy,s shrewdnes..

There is lad in a certain Scot
fish town who is noted for his shrewd-
ness. The other day he was sent by
his father to a neighboring public
house with the following order:
please send to our house ten doz-
en- ale"
Now, it so happens that one Of the
publican's faults is a propensity to
poke his nose into other peoples busi-
ness, and so when he had read the
order he could not help calculating:
"Guid gracious, laddie, and what.
ever is yer fether gaun tae dae wi
sac muckle ale?"
For moment Johnnie was puzzled,
knowing that his father wouldn't like
him to exactly tell the truth. Then an
idea occurred to him and he quietly
replied:
I'm no vera sure, but think he's
gaun tae max a cork frame and he'll
need the corks."-New York Tribune.

MINISTERIAL RULE in BOSTON sion
Writer Had Some Hard Things to say
About Clerical Bosses Of Time
Long Since Gone.

The ministers ruled Boston in the
good old days. They we're tho bosses
Literally. The big ministers we're the
colonial bosses; they steered the gov.
ernor and the general court, while the
little ministers were the ward or town
bosses; they made up the voters lists,
swung" elections and ran" the town
meetings. They themselves did not
hold Office Like our modern political
bosses, they ruled through others.
And those Of us who think that "low-
down politicians" are the only men
that take orders" will please observe
that in this case those clerical bosses
ruled through the gentry in Office and
the carefully selected good people in
their congregations. Indeed, II seems
to have been easier to corrupt that
aristocracy into theocracy than It is
nowadays to corrupt a democracy into
a plutocracy.
Some Of the methods Of the clergy
were legitimate; others were not.
Their influence as preachers upon
public opinion was that of leaders:
and so long as they exercised It In
the interest Of the people of the colony
as a whole. 1t was right and good.
But when they abused 1t to beat a
governor who, feeling that their pun.
ishments were too cruel, attempted to
use the discretion which was properly
his; when they put of conventions to
times and places where they could
control them against public opinion;
and when they let a bride be sent to
the king of England-when they did
these and other things, the clergy |
were playing the game" in what we
would call a pretty practical fash
ion And they were a practical lot |
of politicians, those cody ministers;
pious, but cunning; good" but no
mollycoddles. Lincoln Steffens IL
the Metropolitan.
