The Lane TO BAaybree.

From the Ka~sas City stdr.
There's little lane a-winding, crooked
little lane;
A dewy, woodbinc scented lane, that
leads to Ballybree;
Where the hawthorn boughs are laden
with their wealth of starry bloom,
And sweetly singing little birds are
heard on bush and tree.
There's little lane a-winding. a little.
winding lane:
Where the furze is all in blossom like
wave of yellow gold.
And every turning in the brake you hear
the leaves a-stirrin',
'Tis the little fairy people--oh. they're
very brave and bold.
There's little lane a-winding, crooked
little lane.
And there's some one at the end OF it
who's wishing hard for me;
There's soft winds gently blowing-a
peat fire brightly glowing
OIL I'm aching to be wandering the
lane to Ballybree.

The Fairy Shoemaker.

From tho Spectator.
Upon n messy root he sat,
Beneath an aged fairy tree.
In buckled shoes and three cooked hat,
And breeches gartered at the knee,
AS ugly as chimpanzee.
His eyee were bright, and in them shone
That spirit Of laughing moclSery
Betokening a Leprechaun.
He hammered at fairy boot
And gayly whistling as he wrought
Kept beating time with tiny foot
To tuno that mortal never taught.
1 stole behind, and swiftly caught
Him where hts doublet's points were
drawn:
He was not troubled or distranght,
That philosophic Leprechaun.

Wrinkling his nose. he sudden lied:
'"That branch is falling-mind your
head v''
My eye a moment glanced aside.
Whereat he bolted, grinning wide.
And vanished like dream at dawn.
Then from the bushes mocking cried
You've lost your lucky Leprechaun
'Tis ever thus in Erins Isle:
An elf fantastic leads you on;
Hope greets you with a genial smile
Then mocks you like a LcprechaunI

Another League Post-Mortem.

The league Of individuals which is
working IN Europe TO salvage the
League of Nations from the scrap
heap has a confession to make and a
notion to suggest It's confession is
that Article X. must be torn from the
Covenant and consigned to oblivion.
Its suggestion is that the people of
all the countries holding membership
in the League of Nations shall elect q
representative assembly to be part
Of the superstate machinery which
doesn't now work.
There is no harm perhaps in hold
ing these post-mortems on the League
and Covenant. But what is the use?
Nobody can breathe the breath of life
into the poor dead thing.
The people of the United States.
as we have said more than once, are
not averse to voluntary cooperation
by suitable association to settle inter
national questions that are justiclable
and otherwise to make for the pres
ervation of peace. On the contrary,
they are willing to take up at any
time that rational question for prac-
tical treatment by sober judgment.

Poems Worth Reading.
The Red Tree.

sing OF a red. red tree,
Like great rose FURNISHED bright,
That stood by lyric stream
Touched by the SUMS last light:
And the sight Of II was TO me
beauty too rare to be,
Like dream meshed in q dream,
That rose red tree.
More than the sunset--naorel
richer lovoliness
Than flowers by Barada's shore
That Lebanon Winds caress;
Than the radiant buds that bloom
Shrouding the shrines of Fayum
Where they worshipped the rose of yore
Sabyion's hanging gardens--no;
Nor the groves Of Semiramis
IN ali the glades of Jericho
Never thing like thisi
And my love (she could not fail ,
She saw the wonder too.
There in the dip of the dusking vale
What seemed too fair to be true.
Then looked through my loves eyes
Into my loves heart
(Rose OF thMworld 10 meD
And / knew& beauty as far apart
AS is the span of the sundering skies
From any rose red tree!

Women See Boxing.
They DO Attend Boxing Bouts,
Though Men May DisapprOve.

To THE NEw York HERALD: Should
women be permitted to sit at the ring
side and watch two scientific boxers
peck at each other with harmless jabs
or, as sometimes Is the case, witness
Fighter of the slugger type pound his
opponent into state of helplessness?
This question Is agitating many Of
the male sex who attend boxing bouts
In the various clubs of Greater New
York and notice women among the spec
tators. Nowhere. Of course, are more
women to be seen at bouts than In the
largest fight arena OF them all, Madison
Square Garden. In fact, their abun-
dant presence at this club has served to
bring the matter to the front ana
started discussion all along the line
II any man who makes II practice
to attend bouts will sound his neighbors
at the ringslde he will find that most
OF them think that women should not
attend prizefghts. He may also be sur
prised 10 fnd that his neighbors base
their disapprovai on tho same line OF
reasoning, namely, that they wouldn't
want to have their mothers sisters or
wives sit around and watch two lighters
In action, and consequently they can't
understand why any other woman wishes
TO witness the spectacle.
Nevertheless there are women who
appear really TO enjoy tho sight OF two
men punching each other around the
ring OF striving TO close each others
eyes with a well placed jab, We have
but TO go back to the recent Jackson
Dundee fight to recall how the female
adherents Of the scrarpers staged an
impromptu bout themselves in their ex-
element ieiNosiph'

Our "Citi6ed" Country.

The early suspicious Of the Census
Hureau are confirmed. More than
bqlf--to be exact, 514 per cent.--of
the total population Of the continen-
tai United States lives in the cities.
They have nearly 100000 more peo-
pie than the rural districts.
New York has of course the largest
urban population. five times as large
rs the number of it's country lifers
but Massachusetts is the most "citi-
fed" of the States. The score in the
Bay State is: urban. 3,650,24S; rural
o02,1OS.
Texas and Pennsylvania lead in
rural population, each with more
than 100000 country people. OF the
great States in the Middle West ILL.,
nois, thanks to Chicago, has twice as
many city dwellers as farm folk ;
factories have made almost the same
condition in Ohio; Indiana is nearly
fifty-ffty; Iowa leans TO the farm In
the ratio of two to one.
'rhe reader who is sad because the
town has grown so great should re-
member that the census was taken a
year ago, before the economic condi-
tlons which for four years made city
life attractive to young country pco
pie began to change.
4 census next July might tell a very
different story.

Woman at the Ringside.

Having arranged the match be,
tween LEONARD and MITCHELL for
the benefit of the devastated parts Of
France it was perhaps natural that
some of the worthy women behind
the charity should go to Madison
Square Garden to see the fight. They
saw 1t. As a philanthropic event 1t
was a success to the tune Of 500, 900.
AS prizeight it was success for
BENNY LEONARD, who pocketed $40,-
600, kept the lightweight champion
ship and showed his science and
strength at their best.
But was 1t success as a spectacle
for women? Each woman who saw
has decided that question for herself.
We assume that none Of them ever
saw a prizefight before, and we Won
der whether any Of them will care
to see a prizefight again. For this
was no sparring match with "pil-
lows 1t was a fight between two
trained young gladiators. And when
the jealous holder Of the title is de-
tending it against an ambitious and
aggressive challenger boxing con-
test is no taffy pull.
From the mans viewpoint there
was nothing offensive about the bat
tie. But since war began there has
been a double standard in all matters
pertaining to fighting. This fight was
not brutal. The men were trained
and no foul blows were struck. In
the fierce course Of struggle like
this pain is a negligible, almost minus
quantity. But it must have looked
ferocious to the women. There was
n0S as much agony for MITCHELL as
is borne by a lad at Annapolis who is
compelled to stand at attention for
an hour while Secretary Of the
Navy reads q speech. But there were
thuds, knockdowns and blood. The
surface was brutal.
The women who saw Friday nights
boxing are now qualified to judge
whether or not the prizefight, when it
conforms to the stern requirements
Of the warrior, man, is tit sight for
the eyes of his more sensitively Or
ganlzed mate. And we think we
know and hope we know what the
Voman's decision is
