7. Jefferson Jones.
by EDMIND VANCE COOkE.

p. Jefferson Jones i, statesman OF parts:
lto rFobably one OF the oddcSt
lie puDhoIE >hrnhs from publicity's
H3l Hr isn't extensively modest
u, dchcs the basc bosses and all OF their rule
For he boasts he is mans subordinate.
}uj o Cours" he admits (for he isn't fooD
Independence should not be nordinatc.
IIis 'eracty may not be quite OF the style
MWch Washington found cficacious;
Though he deals in the truth once in L while
Sill he isn't unduy vcracious.
Some say that he lawns on the public Tut! tut!
J. tawn and he fawns and thou fawnest
His methods honest other mems, but
He isn't inhumanly honest
T; Jefferson Jones stands our square to the world!
lie IS brave he is bold. he's couragcouss
But the bravest OF battlc-flags sometimes is furled
And his vaOr is never outrageous.
T. Jefferson Jones knows the rights OF the mass
And demands the most radical remedies!
lie would trim the oe-nails of the tyrants of class
But he never would go extremities.
Some people have called him "a Puritan pllr
And others have termed him wo-faced
Let us hur back these lies! He's prude Won will
But he's not irreprcssibly Chasc.
rs dry, be is Extra Dry sometimes in taste
As wet" he is not hydrophobious.
You say he is crooked, call him straipht-aced
But his Probity isn't opprobrious.
+ It's Jefferson e[s 5! ZONES ,ty may be influenced
His mind is so open it may be to let
But he doesn't stay bought. You can't own him.
T. Jefferson Jones is 4 virtuous man
But his virtues are distressul
And the youth OF our land if they follow his plan
VIII likely be just Successful" ''

New York, Feb. 25.-
Down on the Bowery.
Where bells tinklc.
over pawn shop doors.
To guide unsteady feet.
To a port in a storm.
There is a sandwich man.
Who threads his way.
Up and down the street.
With a sign on his back.
And one in front.
Describing the delights.
OF a culinary nature.
At "Beefsteak Johns"
And he's always smiling.
And singing a little tune.
A human anachronism.
With stained yellow teeth.
And n wisp of a mustache.
And a fringe OF white hair.
From under his hat.
Telling of many winters.
Battling against fate.
Or whatever it is.
That drass men down
And down.
And holds them there.
And yet he smiles.
With the heart OF a boy.
\ bit OF Rip Van Wrinkle.
And Peter Pan all in one.
And when I left him.
l went up on Broadway.
And saw tinted face,
Topped with a red sport hat
And around young.
Immature shoulders.
Was a flimsy blouse.
And in her young eyes.
Was the nervous tensity.
The furtive Haunting.
And subtle defiance.
or the sorry bargainer.
Both girl and man.
Walked the streets.
That they might live.
And there Is no moral
or particular point.
To this little story.
Except that they represent.
The city.
And made me long
For the open field.
And the forest and stream.
And the smell OF pine.
Tho song Of birds.
And pleasant valleys.
And purple hills.

"DAUGHTER OF THE SEA" WILL BE SEEN AT PALACE TOMORROW EVENING

There is a charm about "A Daugh
 ter of the Sea-" which is coming to the Palace Theatre tomorrow on the Equitable program which is not only due to the beauty of the story itself
 but to the winning personality and effective acting of little Miss Muriel Ostriche, who takes the star part. that of the daughter of a Down East Island fisherman, who through love is transformed into heroine and the chatelaine of a stately mansion, with an heroic self-sacrifice as a striking feature of her progress. The play was beautifully staged, and with adequate support from the Equita- ble's stock, the star was carried to new heights of dramatic achievement in this really wonderful example of
