"Why do you take so much pleasure
in her?" an older lady curiously asked
of a plain and rather awkward girl,
who was especially given to the pre

"Why," she said, at a loss for a mo

or so nice. Itts because when I'm
-talking to her she makes me feel just
as'lovely and nice as she is."

A Measure of Han.
I've been by matrons often told
The man who'B worth his weight In gold
As husband, lover, must, in truth,
Have passed the vagaries of youth.
That men can't reach perfection's stage
Until they're forty years of age,
Or thirty-five at least, but I
Another standard measure by. •,
I gauge no man ly rule so flat
1
And say he must this age or that
Have reached-ere he give evidence
Of being blest with common sense.'
I'd not require he should be
Past age of scribbling poetry
To "cherry cheeks" or "sun-kissed
hair"—
1
I'd scarcely set ,my standard there!
He need not e'en past blushing be
To win ripe manhood's crown from'me.
Ho need not have had a past,
I'd say,.instead, that he.is wise,
Of manhood's stature, strength and.
And to that man my hat I doff,—
Who's past the age of "swearing off."
—Puck.
A well read ,and cultured woman
said to us today, "I haVe read every
word of The Evening Times since it
'cairie out first, and you are getting up
a splendid paper, better material than
has ever been published in Grand

not throwing any bouquets at ourself,

She found a little fault with that, cor
rections we are glad to receive for we
are here to try and please and we
wish all the ladies would come to us
like that dnd say wherein we please
and fail, that we may profit thereby.
It is a violation of the postal law
which prohibits the giving of publicity

We wonder has the editor of the
Dickinson Recorder tried the married

of chance. We have for fourteen years
but we. .would be afraid to express
our opinion so freely.

Music—A Fragment
I pant for the music which is idivino,
My heart in its thirst is a dying flow
er
Pour forth the sound ike enchanted
wine,
Loosen the notes ire a silver shower
I gasp, I faint, till they wake again.
Let me drink of the spirit of that sweet
sound
More, O more I am thirsting yet,
It loosens the serpent which care has
bound
Upon my heart to stifle it:
The. dissolving strain, through every
vein,
Passes into, my heart and brain.
As the scent of a violet withered up,
Which^grew by the brink of a silver
When the« hot noon has drained its
dewy cup
And mist there was none its thirst
And the violet lay dead while' the odor
flew
On the wings of the wind o'er the
waters blue.
As one who drinks from a charmed
cup
Of foaming and sparkling and mur
muring wine.
Whom a mighty enchantress tilling it.
Invites to love with her kiss divine.
—Shelly.

(From Friday** Dully.)
The Sun Is Sliinlngi
Hate, like a shadow on the SKV,
Is only seeming
But love is light that from on high
Is ever beaming.
Grief, that is night upon the mind,
Is transitory
While God's eternal day behind
Glows on in glory.
Around the rosy lips of dawn
A. smile is wreathing
And, through their pearly portals
blown,
A breeze is breathing'.
From it the white and ghost-like mist
Is onward driven,
Through rifts is seen like amethyst
The face of heaven.
Look up, my heart, the storm is past
The rain of sorrow
Has ceased. The skies, though yet
o'er cast.
Will clear tomorrow.
Like smiles through tears, the drench
ed sunbeams
On raindrops glisten,
The birds are dreaming vocal dreams.
Look up, and listen.
There's happiness enough to spare
For all, my dearie
Enough so that the load we bear
Seems not so weary.
Around the temples of our hope
Are roses twining
And where the gates of morning ope
The sun is shining. —J. L. Edgerton.
Our vanity fell down three flighjts of
stairs and had to be picked up in a
basket this morning. The reason was
we have had lots of lady callers late
ly and were really beginning to feel
threatened with popularity when we
made a discovery. We have a cozy
little office, but some way It reminds
UB
of a hole gnawed in a big cheese
by a little mouse. That is, we are in
close proximity to the "big cheese."
A broad door is between us and the
editorial staff. We noticed various of
the ladies peeping in there, but it
never really dawned on us why we
were so popular until One lady caller
today peeped in and said, "Where are
all those handsome men the other
ladies have been telling me about."

A movement on foot in Duluth to
establish a Woman's Suffrage organ
ization elicits the following from the
editor of the Duluth Evening Herald:
Well, is a gqod subject for discus
sion, and Its agitation can harm no one.
The Herald has heretofore taken the
position that whenever it becomes
clearly apparent that woman wants to
vote that she wants to vote very bad
ly and will insist upon knowing the
reason why if she cannot: that the der
mand is somewhere near unanimous
and is waiting actiVe opposition on the
part of womankind there will be then
just one thing for man to do. As usu
al, when confronted by a clearly de
fined wish from the so-called weaker
sex, he will bow to the inevitable, and
will' extend the coveted vote.
Continuing, he adds:
To others, who know the influence,
it will be quite clear, perhaps, that it
is" just what is needed to correct ex
isting political Ills.
