TODAY'S POEM
INVITA- MINERVA.

 The Bardling came where by river grew, rs.< cannon reeds, that, as the west winG -:sw, ssleamed and sighed plaintively, as if they knew What music slept in each enchanted = each stem, Till Dan should choose some happy one of them, And with wise lips enlife it through and through. The Bardling thought, "A pipe is all I need: Once I have sought me out clear, smoth reed, And shaped it to my fancy, proceed To breathe such strains as, wonder mid the rocks, The strange youth blows, that tends Admetus flocks. And all the maidens shall to me pay heed" The summer day he spent in questful round, 4>s And many a reed he marred. but never found A conjuring-spell to free the impris- oned sound At last his vainly wearied limbs he laid Beneath a sacred laurers flickering shade, And sleep about his brain her cobweb wound. Then strode the mighty Mother through his dreams, Saying: 'The reeds along thousand streams Are mine, and who is he that plots and schemes To share the melodies wherewith my breath Sounds through the double pipes of Life and Death, Atoning what to men mad, discord seems? He seeks not me. but I seek oft in vain X, For him who shall my voiceful reeds constrain, And make them utter their melodious pain; He flies the immortal gift. for we'll he knows His life of life must with its over flows Flood the unthankful pipe. nor come again. Thou fool, who dost my harmless subjects wrong. 'Tis not the singers wish that makes thesong; 4ffl The rtthrnic- beauty wonders dumb how long, Nor stoops to any daintiest instru- ment, Till, found it's mated lips. their sweet consent Makes mortal breath than Time and Fate more strong"
 James Russell Lowell.

trouble begins,
 When I was single my pockets did
 jingle,
 I wish to the Lord I was single | again.
 1 Was there ever any very young
 couple who considered anything but i love when they met on Monday. he called Tuesday, went out for a walk
 Wednesday, he proposed Thursday, ] parents gave their consent Friday,
 married on Saturday, went for a days honeymooning on Sunday, started 1 Housekeeping on Monday? Do they ever dream of the seriousness of the whole business? The youths heart
 was caught in the meshes of the young girls curls. That was all there was about it! She was very young and pretty He thought of nothing beyond that. Ten to one the girl had never cooked meal in her whole life. Many a mother has such way of keeping i her daughters white hands from la
 borious work Notwithstanding that, the girl plunges into housekeeping as though it were the greatest fun, in stead of the solemnest, hardest of du- ties.
 The person who wrote the article on: Housekeeping made, easy" has a lot to answer for in giving doubtful advice to inexperienced young house keepers. She says: "A dinner can be got up in twenty minutes. Warm over a can of corn, which is three-fourths cooked. A five cent carton of Sar- atoga clipped potatoes needs but a few minutes warming over in the oven. Delicatessen sliced tongue needs no preparation. A pan of pork and beans from the same store can be served cold or heated. A coffee pellet can be dropped into hot water To, you have bubbling hot coffee fit for a king. A little 1uke-warrn water, mixed with flour, and To you have delicious biscuits''
 Why wouldn't a bride consider that she is getting out of the tolls of house keeping mighty easily. Blithely she tries her hand in this sort of cooking. But the frown on young hubby's face tells her more plainly than words that there's a mistake somewhere. It doesn't take long to have the new hubby sick on her hands. He will have to go back to mother, or she will have to learn to cook good substan- tial meals in the old-fashioned way, to keep man fit for work
 The first slap hubby gets at mother in-law is: Why the Sam Hill didn't she teach her girl to cook ?' Of course she learns in time, but it takes time, vexations, burned hands and aprons, and tears. The Housekeeping made easy article did not mention that there were dishes to wash and pots and pans to SCOUT. Every girl should take a course in housekeeping before triping gaily to the altar.

erable misgivings that they thus tempt. ed fate by opposing an ancient super stition, even though each knew through cruel experience the fallacy of its en- tire fabric.
 One of these prisoners, red Mar. tian boy, particularly attracted me-. There was something strangely famil- far about his face, and yet could not place him. asked him his name, and he said it'was Carthoris.
 Thuvia, the girl whom I had first freed soon had the others at liberty. Tars Tarkas and I stripped the bodies of the two therns of their weapons, which included swords, daggers and two revolvers of the curious and dead- ly type manufactured by the red Mar. tians.
 We distributed the weapons as far as they would go among our follow CTS, giving the firearms to two of the women, Thuvia being one so armed.
 With the latter as our guide we set off rapidly, but cautiously, through a maze of passages, crossing great cham bers hewn from the solid metal of the cliff, following winding corridors, as- cending steep inclines and now and again concealing ourselves in dark re- cesses at the sound of approaching footsteps.
 Our destination, Thuvia said, was q distant storeroom, where arms and ann intuition in plenty might be found. She was to lead us to the summit of the cliffs, from where it would require both wondrous wit and mighty fight ing to win our way through the very heart of the stronghold of the holy therns to the world without
 And even then, o prince," she cried, ''the arm of the holy thern is long. It reaches to every nation of BarscH'a. His secret temples are hidden in the heart of every community.
 Wherever we go, should we escape, we shall find that word of our coming has preceded us, and death awaits us before we may pollute the air with our blasphemies."
 We had proceeded for possibly an hour without serious interruption and Thrvia had just whispered to me that we were approaching our first Gestina- ton when on entering great chamber we came upon a man, evidently . thern.

you passed, but I did not fear for you John Carter, until I heard the report of a revolver shot. knew that there lived no man upon all Barsoom who could face you with naked steel and live. but the shot stripped the last yes tige of hope from me, since you I knew to be without firearms. Tell me of it..
 did as he bade, and then together we sought the secret panel through which I had just entered the apart ment-the one at the opposite end o1 the room from that through which the girl had led her savage companions.
 To our disappointment the panel eluded our every effort to negotiate it's secret lock. We felt that once beyond it we might look with some little hope for success for passage to the out side world
 The fact that the prisoners within were securely chained led US to believe that surely there must be an avenue of escape from the terrible creatures which inhabited this unspeakable place.
 Again and again we turned from one door to another, from the baff1ing gold en panel at one end of the chamber to its mate at the other, equally baff1ing.
 When we had about given up all hope one of the panels turned silently to- ward us, and the young woman who more beside us.
 "Who are you," she asked, land what is your mission that you have the temerity to attempt to escape from the valley Dor and the death you have chosen?''
 replied. 'I am not of Barsoom, nor have taken yet the voluntary pilgrim age upon the river Iss My friend here is jeddak of all the Tharks, and though he has not yet expressed a desire to return to the living world, I am taking him with me from the living lie that hath lured him to this frightful place
 "I am of another world. am John Carter, prince of the house of Tardos Mors, jeddak of Helium. Perchance some faint rumor of me may have leaked within the confines of your hellish abode"
 She smiled.
 ''Yes," she replied; ''naught that passes in the world we have left is un- known here. 1 have heard of you, many years ago. The therns have oft times wondered whither you have flown since you had neither taken the pill grimage nor could be found upon the face of Barsoom."
 'Tell me-" I said, land who are you and why prisoner, yet with power over the ferocious beasts of the place that denotes familiarity and authority far beyond that which might be ex- pected of prisoner or a slave?'
 Slave I am," she answered, flor if teen years slave in this terrible place, and now that they have tired of me and become fearful of the power which my knowledge of their ways has given me am but recently condemned to die the death.''
 She shuddered.
 What death?' asked.
 "The holy therns eat human flesh" she answered me, but only that which has died beneath the sucking lips of

Again she spoke to them, but in tones so low I could not catch the words, and then she started toward the opposite side of, the chamber with the six mighty monsters trailing at heel.
 One by one she sent them through the secret panel into the room beyond, and when the last had passed from the chamber where we stood in wide eyed amazement she turned and smiled at us and then passed through herself, leaving us alone.
