Rain on the Roof..
When the humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres.
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears.
What a joy to press the pillow
Of a cottage-chamber bed,
And to listen to the patter
Of the soft rain overhead.
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart.
And a thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being start
And a thousand recollection*
Weave their air-threads into woof,
As I listen to the patter
Of the rain upon the roof.
Now In memory comes my mother
As she used in years agone.
To survey her darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn:
Oh! I see her leaning o'er me.
As I list to this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister.
With her wings and waving hair.
And her bright-eyed cherub brother—
A serene, angelic pair
Glide around my wakeful pillow.
With their praise or mild reproof.
As I listen to the murmur
Of the soft rain on the roof.
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes' delicious blue
And forgot T, gazing on her.
That her heart was all untrue
I remember that I loved her
As I ne'er may love again.
And my heart's quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.
There is nought in art's bravuras
That can work with such a spell
In the spirit's pure deep fountains.
Whence the holy passions swell,
Af that melody of Nature,
That subdued, subduing strain.
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.

Says They are Worse Than
Men When it Comes to
Voting.
Chicago, March 2.—Some women,
in their analysis of the women's vote
in the primaries here were well pleas
ed with their sex. Others though
ashamed of the! feminine voters,'-for
gave them their election trespasses.
And still others remembered and did
not forgive.
Many reasons were advanced ex
plaining why democratic women voted
overwhelmingly-for Sweitzer and why
republican women divided their votes
always equally between Olson and
Thompson: The reasons varied from
the desire of women to see the beauti
ful home of the sister of one of the
candidates, who* gave a political tea,
to their desire for a wide open town.
It was claimed also by some repub
lican women tlittt the republican or
ganization did nc|t urge the women to
get out and wo^li for Olson, believing
that the votfe 6f the women should
come without Work.
"Didn't I Tell You."
"Don't talk to me about women,"
said Mrs. Ella' Flagg Young. "I al
ways knew that if women got into
politics you never could tell what they
would do. They are worse than men.
I shall not be surprised if the 35,000
women who voted for Olson will vote
for Sweitzer in the election merely be
cause they think it will be the winning
side. I lost my vote."
Mrs. Young voted for Harrison.
"I'm delighted," said Mrs. George
Bass, "not only with the large vote.
of the democratic women for Sweitzer
but with the number of women who
voted at the primaries. Some of the I
men prophesied 50,000 or 60,000 worn
en would vote. I have maintained from I
the start that the real lest of the use I
of the ballot by. women would come
in the mayorallty election I expected
a vote near the 200,000 mark."
Got What They Wanted.
"I, guess the women got what they
wanted," mournfully asserted Mrs. E.
L. Stillman of the state suffrage board.
"They voted for a. wide open town and
now I guess they will get it. I thinlt it
is terrible."
"I'm not surprised," said Mrs. Will
iam Frederick Crower. "Women are
apt to do anything. Now. William
Hale Thompson got a lot of votes be
cause Mrs. William Pelouxe—that's
his sister, you kno —gave a tea. Wo

he sent us a very curt note—he floes
not like women, you know—Haying it
couldn't be done. He lost great op

"I wrote a letter to Mrs Harrison,
who has been going around mal.-lng
these speeches for her husband that
he made a mistake. She was saying
he appointed women to so many things
—the library board and all that---when
everybody knows there never was a

story of that discovery.)
I had been sitting in my dressing
room in Madison Square Garden, in
New York, for almost an hour, sewing
spangles on slippers that I did not
need, while I awaited my turn in the
Sportsman show.
I was to dive 80 feet into a flve-foot
water tank. I had not practiced for
two months. I had never tried my act
in this particular place. For the first
time In my life, I was without my
own rigging.
Outside I could hear the occasional
shots of the shooting galleries now
and again the music sounded, but I
kept on sewing. I was afraid to stop.
When I dressed it was with labored
deliberation of action, and I was bare
ly ready when the summons to ap
pear sounded on my door.
As I walked over the unevenly
boarded floor toward the tank, I could
feel my cheeks burn beneath my
make-up. My brain seemed to be on
fire, and I saw and heard everything
in a kind of blur. Two men were
escorting me, both of them expert
high divers, and both of them distinct
ly skpetical of my ability.
"Don't do it," one of them coun
selled. "No woman has ever done it
or ever will." I smiled at him vacant
ly, not In the least frightenfed.
Strangely enough, his companion's
words were more disturbing.
"You go ahead," he said. "I'll
stand around to see that nothing hap
pens to you."
About the tank stood a fair-sized
crowd, and my heart beat violently as
I passed through them under the
ropes and up on to the boarding
which encloses the water.
"I have the pleasure of Introducing
Miss Mae Eccleston, the champion wo
man high diver of the world," shout
ed the announcer.
I bowed quite mechanically, drop
ped my scarlet cloak from my shoul
ders and faced the throng. Suddenly,
with almost a shock of relief, my ner
vousness, if nervousness It had been,
left me. My brain cleared body and
mind alike appeared to have grown
cool.
The workmen were busy. with the
rigging, handling the long ropes by
which I was to be hoisted to my
"take-off." While I waited I watch
ed the crowd critically. I remember
noting how many of them left their
seats on the benches to stand near the
tank. Most of theth eyed me in si
lence. The shrill laugh of a woman
attracted my attention, and I remem
ber wondering how the quiet-looking
man accompanying her liked to have
such a loud-voiced person-with him
but I noted that .she was'gbod looking
and rather tastefully dressed:
Then I looked upward to the foott
hold from which I was to make my
dive. I- had- not seen'it before..
It was a square steel affair, sus
pended shakily. In-mld-alr, with no
back support,, nothing against .which
I might .lean, w.hUe balancing my. body
for the dive! And I had always been
used to perfectly poised ladders, with
a solid W60deh' platform attached, on
which I could stand securely and quite
at ease.
I was appalled. For the first time
In my experience I was conscious of
the fact that I mlght be kllled. Yet
I did not cry out or .fiClht, but 'Simply
stood there, stupidly gaslng .at. the

the men brought me the rope, I slip

soningly I felt as if this gaping audi
ence wanted me to be killed, and I
made up my mind that I should not.
Again I viewed my perch. In all
directions from It diverged ropes. I
had always done the "swan" dive,
arms wide outstretched!
Round the platform was a wire, in
a position nicely calculated to catch
my foot! If I hit it, there was no
knowing in what direction my body
might be thrown. I might lilt the
edge of the tank. Even If I didn't, it
was quite within the range of prob
ability that my back would be broken
when the balance of my weight was
disturbed. Besides these two discov
eries, the shakiness of my foothold
was a very minor consideration,
I have always been considered a
girl of unusually steady nerve, but
there are times when I am compelled
consciously to keep my "nerves" un
der control. Such was the case when
I sat sewing in my dressing room.
Yet now, faced by three new risks of
my life, I was absolutely cool. Never
had my brain been clearer, never my
calculation more accurate.
In a flash I had to decide the prop
er angle from which to hurl my body
forward so that my foot should not
strike the wire. Secondly, I had to
make up my mind to do a "front" and
not a "swan" dive, if my arms were
to avoid those ropes. I had never
tried It before.
Meanwhile, the shots began to re
sound again. Volley followed volley
from the galleries. This time, the
repetition unnerved me. For per
haps a couple of 'seconds I stood sup
porting myself against the wires and
trembled. Then, in a sudden silence,
I heard the faint echo of a laugh
from my distant audience.
Instantly my courage came back. I
took up my position firmly, and there
was a touch of bravado tinged with
defiance in the spurt of energy with
which I hurled my body from the
platform Into space.
As I fell through that 80 feet of
air I was conscious of three distinct
sensations: triumph, that my calcula
tions had proved right In clearing the
obtrusive w're anxiety, as my. arms
in their unaccustomed front position,
threatened to drag my body danger
ously downward relief, as I finally
hit the water squarely with my chest
and arms. Three. minutes, at the
most, had elapsed since I mounted
the boarding of this tank, but they
were three that I have no desire to
pass through again.
It's a strong friendship
stand a loan.
