our orchestra rendered last Sunday. The
piece is from the pen of Albert Matt, and

kind. AS an illustrative. A farrago of
concise sporadic incidents occur alternately.
Barometrical declivity exploits that the at
mospheric environments are beginning to
conglomerate and become murky. Oxygen
and other gases when in contact cause spon-
taneous combustion which is the eIucida-
ton of thunder drums. The vivid down.
pour of rain follows Immediately, which
runs down the escarpments into the verdant
vally below, not forgetting the ripping
brook which refunds the foot of every ad-
jacent hill, and invades every boscage in
the vicinity. The boisterous wind surrep-
titiously comes forth in little puffs enlong-
ating into regular typhoon, finally re-
earding to normal conditions. Violins etc.
The sun peeps out from behind the clouds,
the birds begin to sing, tranquility reigns
supreme. The selection was we'll rendered,
and to each and every one monsieur Rue
tenders his thanks. Professor A. Schmidt
should feel proud of his orchestra.

"QUIT YOUR MAXIM EYES AT Me-

Harriet and Willie sat acrost the aisle at
school,
Willie was as bashful as could be,
While Harriet believed in practicing the
golden rule
She prompted Willie what she'd like to

When teacher wasn't looking she would
wink at him and smile,
While in her eyes there lurked a subtle
glow,
And Willie'd blush rosy red, look up and
down the aisle,
Then lean acrost to her and whisper low:
Quit, quit, quit your maxim eyes at me;
When the other fellows see;
could learn to love you if l only had a
chance
When there's no one round to laugh
All the fellows josh me so
When you wink at me, but oh!
Id like to love you, awf'ly, if you'd only
let me be,
And quit your maxim eyes at me.

SORROWING SONG
By Beau Esprata

Dy DoUN ESpfctU
When the world is looking dreary
To your eyes,
When your feet are dragging weary
On the way,
When your heart will not believe
In Paradise,
And you find it Joy to leave
Another day.
Turn your eyes to starlight shining
In the blue, blue sky above;
Burnish up the silver lining
Of the clouds that shade your love
Listen for the Joy bells ringing,
Which the silent night contours
From heart somewhere that's singing
Meath a heavier load than yours.
Soon you hear the echoes throwing
Answers back,
And your blood will start a-howing
To your heart;
You will find your way with ease
Along the track
Portalled. eff you're seeking peace,
Do your part.
Turn your face to sunlight cleaning
Brightly in the newborn dawn,
See the promise that is beaming
New in hopes you thot were gone,
Hear the message natures bringing,
Lay your heart bare to the lures
Of that other heart that S singing,
Meath heavier cross than yours.
