 Thus in poetic words the late John Hay expressed the glowing sentiment which animates the citizens of the two ,greatest republics of the wor1d-the United States and France That sen- ument. which has girdled the globe and left its impress on nearly every land. has found its most fitting ex- pressi0n in the colossal statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, 7, the creation of French genius and the gift of the French people. which now guards the harbor of New York. Miss liberty will celebrate her twenty eighth birthday today, as it was on Oct. 28s 1886, that the gigantic young woHan-7for Liberty is always youth ful-rnade her formal debut in the presence of President Cleveland and his cabinet, and scores of distinguished Fsrenchmen and Americans.
 In the staid language of the statis- ician. Liberty is a copper statue, 151 feet in height, with a granite and concrete pedestal, 155 feet high. and with a total height above Iow-water mark of sos feet and II inches The towering statue was designed by Fred erick Auguste BarthoIdi, French sculptor, native Of Alsac-Lorraipe as a memorial to the fraternaI feeling between the two great republics. More than a million francs were raised by popular subscription in France to put the plan into executiony all classes of people contributing to the project, which aroused unbounded enthus- iasm., g
 On the fourth of July, 1880. the sta tue. was formally delivered to the French minister in Paris. For a time it seemed that Liberty would have to be turned back at Ellis Island, for the American people had provided no home for her. The government had set apart Bedloe's Island in New York harbor as a site, but 1t was thought best to raise the $300,0o0 needed for constructing the pedestal by means of a popular subscription. For a long time the project languished, but Americans were at last aroused to their defection by the crusade carried on by the New York World, and the required money was secured. M. Bar tholdi, with Count de Lesseps and oth- CT distinguished F'renchmen, witnessed the unveiling in 1886.

TO-DAY'S POEM
THE BOWL OF WATER.

She is eight years old. When she laughs, her eyes laugh. Light dances in her eyes; She losses back her long hair And with song replies: Then on light feet she darts away Tripping, mischievously gay But now into this room of shadow Coming slowly with the sun's long ray And all the morning on her simule
 hair, o how serious eyed She steps preoceupied Holding a bowl of water Poised in her hngers,care- Water quivering with cool-gIeanns And wavering and a-ron within the clear glass bowl, That brinned and luminous seems A wonder and a shining secrecy, AS if it were the worlds most precious
 thing, So open-clear that all have passed it
 by. Cut stalks of iris lie. On the bare table, flowers and swell Clasped in close curves up to the pur-
 pie tips That shall tomorrow burst And shoot a splendid wing, When they have drawn into their veins
 the spring Which those young hands. with the
 drops srze11t on them So all intentIy bring; Costless felicity Living and unbought! But over me. O flowers That neither ask nor sigh, Comes the thought How all this world is wanting and
 athirst!

The woman who is shy and con fused in company wishes with all her heart that she had been born with the gift Of entertaining. She that is pas sionately fond of music seems never to be able to reach the goal Of her ambition to interpret the melody of the great masters She who craves women friends is more often than not lacking in that quality of personality which draws her own sex toward her. IT she craves love. she seems to be utterly devoid of the sweetness and Womanlness which appeal to the heart of man.
 The oracle of truth declares that those who have but one talent can make as much out of it as others who have seven. This means that they throw heart and soul into perfecting the one The world often sits up and wonders when the most popular young man in town breaks away from the cajoIery Of the belles who gather about him to wed a poor girl whose face was not her fortune The one talent which she possessed was a smile so sweet that those 1t was be- stowed upon could not forget 1t.
 Another woman may be a fretfuI wife. keeping her husband and home in perpetual turmoil But if she has one talent, Of being an excellent cook, no power on earth can induce that husband to take bachelor quarters outside and dine at restaurant Her one talent conQlers him.
 There is no woman entirely satis- fled with herself unless it is the vain coquette. Yet even she possesses one talent not given to her sisters-quite soon as she ensnares a heart she sets it free. but manages to keep the dis carded swain ever Hopeful
 It takes woman of genius to ac- complish this. It is useless for a wo- man to sigh for what she is not. She would be a dismal failure, no doubt. if she tried to do that for which sfle yearns. She is not fitted for it. It is the ambition of many young married women to be society leaders. They gather uncongenial people about them and wonder why their affairs are dire failures It requires tact to be at the head Of anything The successful wo- man has sailed through a sea. Of set backs and discoura agements, She has prohted by her experiences.
 The girl who graduates thinks that is a passport to becoming a school teacher. She soon learns that this also requires talent, and no end Of 1t as well as learning
 When ambition and talent clash talent most always comes out yicto- ous. She who fails in one direction should never give up to despondency. She should realize that it is intended to be in another channel ssESverv wo7 man has her gift. and the tools go to her that can use them. 2 Women should not grieve because others go ahead of them in some particular di- rection.

She wants me to marry her, and is very persistent. and as don't want to break off entirely with her, what shall I do2
 Have a eart-to-haart talk with the girl, telling her frankly that you will not propose marriage for at least two years If she wishes to accept your company during that time it must be understood both are free from any binding ties. During that time you will have arrived at 9 conclusion. You are wise not to wed without love
