MY BAD LITTLE BOY
Did you ever see him my bad little boy
Down on the sands by the sea
That is his picture my boys own self
With his big eyes smiling at me
With his hands in his pockets his hat
awry
And his face all covered with tan
Oh he was a bad little boy my boy
Who never will be a man
He kept me busy from morn till night
I lived in a Babel of noise
He would romp and play in the roughest
way
After the fashion of boys
He spilled my ink and he broke my pen
I had never a chance to write
Till the mystical music of winds and
waves
Had lulled him to sleep at night
But once in a while he would come and
lay
His curly head on my knee
And watch the Sun King going down
To his kingdom under the sea
And talk iu his odd little way of things
Too deep for my duller ken
After the fashion of some little boys
Boys who will never be men
Alas and alas for my bad little boy
It happened one summer day
That the light went out of the tired eyes
And the little feet lagged on the way
And just as the sun was going down
To his kingdom under the sea
The angels came for my bad little boy
And took him away from me
There is quiet now when I want to write
There is never a toy on the floor
Nobody teases the cross old cat
Nobody pounds on the door
Nobody loses or breaks my pens
Nobody spills my ink
I have plenty of time to read and work
I have too much time to think
And I think as I sit here alone to night
In the shadowy silence and gloom
I would give the wealth of tlie world to
see
My bad little boy in the room
To hear the rollicking ring of his laugh
To see him among his toys
Or playing at leap frog over the chairs
After the fashion of boys
I would give the world for I miss him
so
To have him with me again
My boy who has entered the silent ranks
Of the boys Avho will never be men
And I think if an angel looked dowu to
see
His song would lose some of its joy
For all that was dearest in life to me
Is gone with my bad little boy

IIANCITA sat on

porch listening but

J3Jy marching of the ml
flPWi litia which was
imS8E k
T h e troops were
hourly expecting a call to active serv
ice in the war with Spain but Cuancita
was not thinking of war but of love
To night Manuel would come for his
answer and she had decided at last to
give him her promise Tlu reproach
ful eyes of Tom lleilley haunted her
and her conscience remonstrated but
Chandra shrugged her shoulders in dis
dain It is true she haxl encouraged
Tom Had even gone so far as to con
template with pleasure the possibilities
of the three rooms over his grocery for
the ho me making instinct was strong in
Chancita but Tom was so hopelessly
slow unresponsive atitl as awkward
as a schoolboy when she was kind aJid
when she openly scoffed at him lie had
never a word to say in reply but stood
looking at her with a pained uncom
prehending look NowtfManuel the liot
blood rushed to her cheeks at the
thought of La Fiesta and the moonlight
walk in the park She thrilled at the
memory of the way Manuels arm Jiad
stolen around her and his dark head
bent over hers until his mustadie
brushed her cheek She had resented
the kiss with a blow and then Manuel
seizing her hands had kissed her again
and again til she lay trembling And sub
dued in his arms
But Ohanciias thoughts were inter
rupted by Lupe Valencia who came
running down the street with a shawl
thrown over her head Spanish fashion
Chancita she exclaimed -breathlessly
as soon as she was within speak
ing distance Mrs La Spada has been
arrested She wrote a letter to the
Spanish Premier
What folly interrupted Chancita
Mrs La Spada cannot so much as
scratch her name with a pen and as
for writing a letter
Brit tis true I was there when they
cook her She cautioned me to say noth
ing for twas Manuel who wrote it
ind she would not betray him
And what then Can we no longer
write to Spain without arrest
O the letter was opened at the
tostofSce It urged the Spaniards to
attack Santa Barbara told how there
was only one gatling gun on the coast
youth of San Frandsco and that all the
troops were to be called away leaving
cs defenseless
The traitor exclaimed Chancita
springing up The double dyed trai
tor To enjoy the good things of a coun
try and then a stab in the back
Manuel hoped great things from the
Spaniards perhaps even a rancho In
LCuba
I t was a regular Judas trick
Lupe shrugged her shoulders and slip
Ied away saying Well there was no
harm done I just come over to tell you
he news
Mother called Chancita through
rhs pan door if Manuel comes tell him
if will find me near San Morro
drill
Manuel did not follow Chancita He
It that he had recdved his answer
tvred away with an angry light In
his eyes and a curse on his lips His
family was in too great disfavor for
him to care to mingle in a crowd of loyal-citizens
Tom Reilley although a new recruit
was winning the approbation of the of
ficers by his military bearing and the
skill with which he executed the man
euvers of the drill but his heart was
heavy for to him enlisting had meant
more than the mere facing of danger
It meant relinquishing the last hope of
winning the beautiful Spanish girl
whom he loved
Suddenly he looked up and met Chan
cltas gaze Surely there was no anger
there Admiration shone in her eyes
and there was a wistful look in the
drooping corners of her searbt lps
Never had ha seen her face so safe hd
tender Fergifid of military discipline
Tom would have left the ranks and
gone to her but for the sharp reprimand
of Jhc Captain which recalled him to
his duty
However the drill was scon over and
Chancita womanly wise lingered
Walking home under the shadowy
trees Tom carried his first assault
against the Spanish Never was an at
tack more sudden nor a surrender more
complete What was said is a secret
between them and the stars but Chan
cita found herself a prisoner within
the barricade of his arms
And the banns shall be published
next Sunday declared Tom trium
phantly
Why such haste
That I may have a wife to look after
my interests at home said Tom gaz
ing tenderly at the sweet face resting
against his shoulder
And Chancita smiling contentedly
back at him consented Boston Post

Ainos of Japan Who Had Never Seen
a Foreigner
Mrs Mabel Loomis Todd writes for
the Century from personal observa
tion an article entitled In Aino Land
Mrs Todd sajs In the summer of
189G as a lay member of the Amherst
College expedition whch visted north
ern Japan to view the total eclipse of
the sun I had the rare opportunity of
seeing the absolutely primitive hairy
Aino ot that region In the southern
portion of the Island near Hakodate
and Sapporo and about Volcano Bay
travelers have visited these shy and si
lent people But several hundred miles
north are many Ainos who until the
summer of 1S0G were strangers to the
members of any race but their own or
the few Japanese who are establishing
small fishing villages along the jcoasr
The dwellers in the province of Kitami
are too distant to be sought by visit
ors and a foreign woman the Japan
ese officials informed me had never be
fore reached Kitami
SklrtiLg the rough western coast by
steamer and rounding Cape Soya the
eclipse party located at Esashi which
mise net be confused with another
town cf the same name near
The news of the arrival of srange
white foreigners spread quickly among
I the neighboring villages Walking with
stately tread bushy haired and beard-
I ed groups of Ainos often passed the ex-
peiiirion headquarters apparently look
ing for nothing unusual and giving no
evidence of curiosity yet never failing
to see every foreign figure within their
range Humbly accompanying their
lords women and children frequently
followed far less imposing than the
men Somewhat larger and apparent
ly stronger than the Japanese al
though not taller the cider men are
actuall3 patriarchal with long beards
mid masses of thick hair parted in the
middle Many faces have a benign and
lofty expression
Driven gradually through ags from
the south to Hokkaido the Ainos are
among the few races yet retaining in
this over civilized world of ours an ut
terly unspoiled simplicity Their origin
has never been satisfactorily traced
but they were -certainly in Japan long
before the present race of Japanese had
arrived and names clearly originating
in the Aino tongue are still retained all
over the empire 5entle and subserv
ient to the conquering race it is evi
dent that they formerly hdd more ego
tistic views than now even fancying
themsdves the center of the universe
as Is shown perhaps by an old national
song
Gods of the sea open your eyes divine
-Wherever your eyes turnjthere echoes the
sound of the Aino speech
Gn rded by a Snalce
There was a stampede among work
men engaged in cleaning the Canner
street sewrer to day The sewer is a
five foot affair and several men under
the direction of Daniel Lawlor were
inside sweeping the accumulation of
sand and filth that covered the floor
of the conduit knee deep
Mr Lawlor was in advance of others
laying out the work when he heard a
prolonged hiss issuing from an eye
in the sewer directly ahead of him
Turning his lantern in that direction he
saw a huge snake of the most venom
ous species coiled upon a pile of hard
ened sand Its head swayed from side
to side and its forked tongue played
with lightning rapidity
An alarm was given and the work
men ran pell mell for a manhole Fi
nally two of them ventured back Into
the sewer and killed the reptile with
spades after an exciting fight It was
three feet long and as big around as a
mans wrist New Haven Spec New
