was at the piano her majesty said:

the numbers Of your opera"
Mascagni played the Intermezzo.
"No," said the queen, shat is not the
melody I mean"
Mascagni played the Prelude.
"That's not it, either"
Mascagni played the dramatic Duet.
The queen became almost impatient.
"Pll help you to remember it." she
said, and hummed few measures.

A WATCH IN THE NIGHT

"Watchman, what of the night?"
''Rumors clash from the towers;
The clocks strike different hours;
The vaneS point different ways.
Through darkness leftward and right
Voices quaver and boom,
Pealing our victor's praise,
Tolling the tocsin of DOOM"
"Optimist, what of the night?"
Might is over and gone;
See how the dawn marches on,
Triumphing, over the hills
Armies of foemen in flight
Scatter dismay and despair,
Wild is the terror that fills
War-lords that crouch in their lair"
''Pessimist, what of the night?"
"Blackness that walls us about;
The last little star has gone out,
Whelmed in the wrath of the storm.
Exhaustless, resistless in might,
The enemy faints not nor falls;
laundering, swarm upon swarm,
He sweeps like q flood through the
vales."
'Pacifist, what of the night?"
I'VE hear the thunder afar,
But all is still where we are;
Good and evil are friends.
Here in the passionless height
War and morality cease,
And the moon with the midnight blenda
In perennial twilight Of peace"
Soldier, what of the night2"
''Vainly, we question of me;
know not l hear not nor see;
The voice of the prophet is dumb;
Here In the heart Of the fight
I count not the hours on their way;
I know not when morning shall come;
Enough that I work for the day."
London Punch.
