SONG
When that I loved a maiden
My heaven was In her eyes.
And when they bent above ma
I knew no deeper skies;
But when her heart forsook me,
My spirit broke Its bars,
For grief beyond the sunset
And love beyond 'the stars.
When that I loved a maiden
She seemed the world to me;
Now Is- my soul In the universe
My dreams the sky and sea!
There is no heaven above me,
No glory binds or bar3
My grief beyond the sunset,
My love beyond the stars.
When that I loved a maiden
I worshipped where she trod;
But when she clove my heart, the
cleft
Set free the imprisoned God;
Then was I king of all the world.
My soul had burst Its bar3
For grief beyond the sunset
.And love beyond the stars,

THE FIVE STAGES
There are five stages in a presi

K 1. On election; great acclaim and
general praise.
2. During administration; continual-
criticism of both kinds, praise
and censure; liked by some, detested
and maligned Jy others.

APPRECIATION FOR P
A Baltimore man had decided that
he must administer a stern lecture
to his 6-year-old son Harry. The
boy had been naughty, but did not
seem to appreciate the fact; and It
was with some reluctance, therefore,
that the parent undertook a scolding.
He spoke judiciously, but severe
ly; ho recounted the lad's misdeeds,
and duly explained the whys and
wherefores of his solemn rebuke, his
wife the while sitting by duly im
pressed. Finally, when the father ceased
for breath and, incidentally, to hear
the culprit's acknowledgement of
error, the lad, hip face beaming with
admiration, turned to the mother and
said:
"Ma, Isn't pa interesting?" Har
