NOCTURNE
BY THEODORE MAYNARD

When evening hangs her lamp above the hin
And calls her children 10 her waiting hearth.
Where pain In shed away and love and wrath.
And every tired head lies white and Still
Dear heart. win you not light a lamp for ma
And gather Up the meaning OF thu lands.
Silent and luminous within your hands.
Where peace abides and nirth and mystsryf
That I may s1t with you beside the fire.
And ponder the thing man gvexA
Your souls great majesty and gentienoar.
Until tho last sad tongue OF flame expire.

Thomas. In June of that year she was mar
red. Miss Cary was born in Wayne. Me-. in
sS41. She first sang publicly in the Rowe
Street Baptist Church, Boston. at the age OF
eighteen. She was graduated from the Gorham
Seminary. in Maine. at twenty-one. and studied
for time under Lyman W. Wheeler Of Bos-
ton. In 1856 she went to Europe and studied
under Corsi. in Milan. Two years later she
made her speratic debut at Copenhagen.
In September. 1870, she made her first pro
fessional appearance in America in concert.
She and Christine Nilsson, soprano. and Fteu-
temps violinist. formed a concert troupe
which toured the United States. In 1874 Miss
Cary went abroad and appeared in opera with
Adelina Patti.
Annie Louise Cary married Charles
M. Raymond of New York and she
survived Hmm good many years. I
know that among people as old as the
Rambler, and even among those who
are younger, the name Of Annie Louise
Cary must call up sweet memories.

WILSON ASKS FOR
TREATY AS FIGHT
IN SENATE NEARS
Democrats Maintain Silence,
While Former Leader
Studies Situation.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-Wood-
row Wilson has sent for a copy. a
certified copy. OF the new four pow
cred treaty OF the Pacific.
He asked one or mis- senatorial
friends at Che capitol today TO get
one. and also 90 get him a copy OF
Che new directory Of the 6Tth con-
eress. He would like them as soon
as possible.
Whether this request on the part
0f the former president presagcs his
intention OF re-enga gfng in the poll
tical turmoil on the hill none OF his
friends would say today, but IL was
taken as proof positive that the in
nuence Of Woodrow Wilson Will
make itself felt IN the treaty dis
cussiOn that liec ahead.
For the time being. SIR. Wilson
and his friends at the capitol are
counselling silence on the question
OF ratification Of the new four-pow-
cred pact. They want time TO con-
slider the developments OF the last
four weeks before committing them
selves TO any line OF action.
Articles Are Similar.
The former president is said TO
have taken no definite attitude to-
ward the treaty. although 10 can be
stated he sees no differences be-
tween articles two OF the new treaty
and article 10 OF the much fought
and finally defeated covenant. except
a difference in phraseOlogy. The
moral commitment Mr. Wilson and
his friends believe, is the same in
both articles.
Wilson however, has refrained
from expressing TO any Of his sup
pOrters what be thinks ought TO be
the democratic policy. He IS under
stood 20 have voiced the opinion
that the democratic attitude should
be adopted with reference TO the
works OF the conference as a whole.
rather than with reference to one
OF the several treaties that are

He thinks, according 10 his friends
that the treaty which replaces the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. the treaty
on zap. the treaty on naval ratio
and the nine powered agreement re-
garding China should be considered
together.
In the quiet of his S. St home, the

with his return TO comparative
good health, he is now doing more

frequent visitors today.
"IIe is a varaciOus reader of every
thing pertaining TO the conference.
Mr.. Wilson already has familiar
lied himself with the terms Of the
treaty as printed In the newspapers.
He apparently. however, was not
satisfied with this but wanted a GER

senate itself will have to deal when
IL reaches the stage of ratification.
