"The first and second stories: My dear man. how do you suppose we would feel living in a house one-half of whic h would te dosed? My house, on the contrary. Is very eory. just the right aire' for us.

The expression on Mr. Hornhlower's face was one of horror. "Five o'clock usually. You see. I go to led at ft. and eight hours' sleep is nough for any one.

Gems In Verse THE EMPTY LIVES. many l:e tlml have not lived at hii: ll Is as thouxh they journey rS through l he v-irg i pon a piiih hi l ifti by a Kl'orny wiill Of other p"'iples Utile frets atict fears Beyond the wl' h- iovous rtHlii stretch And there are little paths to lure the feet. But duly framed by others of their doubt Has ntaile them feel the bypaths are not rueet. To spend their days with friends they did not chixiKe. They toll st tasks unfitted for their hands. They Join the chorus of them that abuse The one who lues herause lie under stands They slug the pongs the others bid them sing While In their souls are stlfl -d marvel strains. They build and they destroy, ihey fetch and brlriK. They fume of tetty losses and of gains They count as truth the rote that they are told. They spurn as lies whatever they are bid. They ban as heretic the overbold. The one who would uncover what Is hid. And they succeed They say they hate success And call another careless, blind and weak Who finds the Joy they may not even guess. Who reaches goals they may not even seek. That If some dazzling outburst of the light Should show them how supremely far they miss The core of life, the lasting truth and right? But fate Is kind and does not deal them this. It Is aa though they plodded through dead yea rs t.'pon a path hedged by a barren wall Of other people's Utile frets and fears Bo many die and hsve not lived at all. -Chicago Post. EDGAR ALLAN POE. rplIOT'OII the ssndn nf his life were - numbered. Though the tides of his life flowed dim Though faith and prayer might Inherit there. They were dicers' oaths to him. AND he recked not hell's black abyss Nor the world's deep heart of wrong, For his ear had heard as the not of a bird The lilt of tlx sphere of sotig. SONO that quickened the soul In space, Bong that lightened a dead world's face, ong that the stars bent down to sea, Dong the Ineffable mystery! HE had dreamed of endless eons, Dreamed of dark ages past, But In all his dreams' ensplendored glesma A heaven of song at last HEAVEN that no man knnweth. A heaven whose stars are dim, Whose awful height of unclouded might la only divined of him. T,XR his life was a cry In the desert. Ills cry was an echo of pain.

SHE was graceful, ah waa young, And the music was sublime. Hull nil and round they lightly swung. Almost floating half th tlm. Now and then she stole a glance; Now and tnen he whispered low. They had merely gone to dance. Each found other pleasures, though. There were porches long and wide; There were dark, secluded nooks; There were chairs set side by side; There were certain knowing looks. She had e es of darkest hue. Fringed by lashes that were long; She was ouim and graceful too. They wer hidden from the throng. Me forgot the hour was late Truth to tell, he did not cars. He became an advocate Of dark nooks and open air. To their corner for a time. Undisturbed, they gladly clung. Ah. the music w-as aubllm Bhe was graceful: she was young! Chicago Record-Herald.

I AM th man of pot and pan, I am a lad of mettle: My tent I pitch by th wayside dltoh To mend your can and kettle. While town bred folk bear a year long yoke Among their feeble fellows, I clink and clink on th hedgerow bank And blow my snoring bellows. I loved a lass with hair Ilk brass And ayes Ilk a brazier glowing, But the female crew, what they will do I swear Is psst all knowing! 8h dung her cap at a plowman chap. And a fool I needs must think her, Who left for an oaf the mug and loaf And th snug little tent of a tinker. But, clank and clank, let women go hang. And who shall car a farden? With th solder strong of a laugh and a song My mind I'll heal and harden. My ways I'll wend, and th pots I'll mend for gaffer and for gammer And drlv my cart with a careless heart And sit by the rosd and hammer. May llyron, IFF TF all the skies wer sunshln Our fares would be fain To feel one more upon them The cooling plash of rain.
