WONDERFUL ONE.

Like colors we see. in the evening sky;
Are formed by the setting sun,
So you fill my nights, with beautiful
dreams:
Ny own, my wonderful one.
The light in her eyes, is like the 'moon-
light:
A light that is soft, yet bright,
Behind dark eyelashes, they seem to
shine:
Like the moon shines in the night.
Bright as the sun. is her dazzling
smile;
As soft as silk, are her cheeks.
Her hair is as light as the flying
spray:
Birds stop their song when she
speaks.
By far less soft, is the kiss Of the
breeze:
That kisses the rose in May,
Than the kiss I'll get, from her ruby
lips:
When I'll find my perfect day.

FOOL WOMEN"

The newspaper account of a murder
trial in California recently may be count
ed upon to stir UP a certain kind OF COM
ment. 1t may be used as an example
of the frailties of women and illustrate
why they should never be on juries or
have anything to do with the ponderous,
legal and just processes OF the law.
A man was on trial for his life. The
jury before which he appeared was made
up of an equal number of men and wo-
men. The men on the jury stood out for
capital punishment but because he was
"such good looking young man." the
women jurors refused to vote to hang
him. He came off with a sentence of
life imprisonment.
Decisions OF the kind are supposed to
be made on the merits of the case, and
the women who allowed themselves to
be influenced by the mans looks were
not fulfilling their duties as jurors. They
might have objected to capital punish
ment, as such, and so expressed them
selves before they were sworn in as
jurors, but they are supposed to have
held out merely on account of the young
mars good looks"
"See, that's the way women do. Nc
logic. Ruled by the emotions. Foo
women" Hear the comments, and ont

can agree heartily in that there are plen.
ty of "fool women" who are ruled by
nothing but surface valuations and ar
appreciation of masculine good looks
A step further can be taken too. The
question might even be asked in all JUS
tice. What about the murder trials in
which some beautiful woman has influ.
enced jury of men?
One such example rises readily to
mind. The woman was one of the most
beautiful creatures, a blond with a peach
and-cieam complexion and great blue
eyes. In black she was ravishing pic
ture, and she wore black all through her
trial which was for killing her husband
AS she sat pensively in the dock, long
lashes shading her eyes, the jury oil
men let their eyes feast upon her. The
deprecating glances in her direction
showed how they hated to see her in
convenenced by the trial and how &C
tualIy glad they were that her husband
was dead.
There Was no question but what she
had killed him, though there were ex-
tenuatihg circumstances. as there fire.
quertly are in murder cases. but the cir
cumstances might not have been so COM
pletely "extenuating' had she been an
ugly old bag. In that case she might
have been given some sort of sentence,
but being what she was and so everlast-
ingly beautiful, she was acquitted. What
is more, no one was in the least SUR
prised, it having been the reiterated
opinion of the community that no jury
of men would ever convict such beau
tiful woman no matter what she had
done.
OF course, there are hard hearted men
and hard hearted women who do not ap-
preciate beauty and consider case on
its merits, as it should be, but they are
not the "fool women" or fool men,"

A COURSE FOR BACHELORS.

It is difficult to imagine offhand
course of instruction likely to be
more devoid of fruitfulness than that
which, so we are told, is to be given
at the Brooklyn Central Y. NJ. Q. A.
The course in question is to concern
itself with the preparing of bachelors
for marriage. 1t will impart the es'
sentials of the art Of selecting and re-
tanning a wife; it will. so says Car
roll NJ. Gibney, the US director OF ed
ucational activities, give the bachelor
knowledge of the economic, physio.
logical and psychological aspects OF
marriage, together with training in the
care and education of children. 1t will,
we venture to say, for all it may do
appreciable good, turn out to be some
thing less than a bowling success.
This is not to decry any such at
tempt TO implant understanding in the
bachelor nor to argue that he has no
need of such instruction. Far from 1t.
The bachelor does stand in grievous
need of the sort of information that
will be dispensed in this study course,
at least most bachelors do. and it may
be that, il his own shortcomings in
this regard are drummed into him long
enough and steadily enough. even he
himself will be made to realize them.
To bring him to realization of the
value Of the prccepts laid down and to
make him follow them are. however,
two different things, and herein lies
the difficulty.
There are those men. and ungallant,
unchivalrous fellows they are, too, who
hold that the bachelor has no say III
the matter of picking wife anyway,
that his part is confined merely TO
succumbing when the lady has set her
cap for him, and, that, hence, any
instruction based on the assumption
that the choosing is done by the man
and not by the woman is just so much
wasted instruction. But, as we say,
this is by no means knightly attl-
| tude to take. and there is no need TO
take it in order to prove that the lee
ture course for unwedded males will
not be as prolific of benefits as 1t
should be. That can be managed in an
other manner, simply by coniuring up
the word romance" Romance will
persist, however hard the attempt is
made to hide it with formulate and
rules and precepts. The returns on adj
vice given to the young man or young
woman intending marriage are about
one-half of 1 per cent. To expect more
than this is to be disappointed. When
romance enters, anything more than
average discretion flies out of the win
dow. and not all the lecturers in the
world will serve to bring it back.

Chicago has two against seven in the

difficult, through high postal charges,

The word Of God to Leyden came.
Dutch town by Zuyder-Zee:
Rise up, my children of name,
My kings and priests to be.
There is an empire in the West,
Which / will soon unfold;
A thousand hervests in her breast.
Rocks ribbed with iron and gold.
Rise up, my children, time is ripe! =
Old things are passed away.
Bishops and kings from earth ! wipe;
Too long they've had their day.

To bear you DER the seas:
And in your souls, my will declared
Shall grow by slow degrees.
Beneath my throne the martyrs cry
l hear their voice, How long?
1t mingles with their praises high,
And with their victor song.
The thing they longed and waited for,
But died without the sight:
So. this shall be / wrong abhor,
The world I'll now set right.
Leave, :hen, the hammer and the loom,
, You've other work TO do:
For Freedoms commonwealth there's room,
And you shall build it. too.
I'm tired of bishops and their pride,
I'm tired of kings we'll;
Henceforth 1 take the peoples side.
And with the people dwell.
Tear off the mitre from the priest,
And from the king, his crown:
Let all my captives be released;
Lift up whom men cast down.
Their pastors let the people choose.
And choose their rulers, too;
Whom they select, I'll not refuse.
But bless the work they do.
The Pilgrims rose, at this Gods word.
And sailed the wintry seas;
With their own flesh blood conferred,
Nor thought of wealth ease.
They left the towers of Leyden town,
They left the Zuyder-Zee:
And where they cast their anchor down,
Rose Freedoms realm to be.

NIGHT.

Night, with her spreading wings;
Slowly is drifting down, q. 4.
Over the country side;
Over city and town.
Quite like the tireless hawk:
Drops down upon its prey,
So comes the dark of night;
Driving before her, day.
After the sun has gone;
Gone, like a ball of fire.
Colors form in the sky;
What thoughts they do inspire.
Far in the western sky;
Still shines one ray of light
Quickly it seems to fade:
With the coming of night.
Slowly drifts on the night;
Quickly the sky turns grey.
Bringing cool winds with her:
Driving the light away.
The song bird seeks its nest;
Winds through the tree tops blow,
Shadows begin to play:
Go rocking to and fro.
The noise of the day is hushed;
And silence reigns supreme,
Silence, broken only:
BY waters of stream.
Night majestic. serene;
Rules with gentle hand,
Soft as the lightest lown;
Over the sea and land.
The pale moon joins the stars;
Bathed in its mellow beams,
The world is lost in sleep;
And ], lost in my dreams.
