engaged or is just about to pro pose to some girl There sees to be an unwritten law that an engaged man must give his fiance a copy of Lucile Outside of this trade there is absolute ly no demand for

pupils in Queens college Hong Kong varying in age from 9 up to 23 and many of them have family cares in the shape of a wife and children at home Each year sees a decrease in the proportion of married

I sing for the disappointed For those who missed their aim I sing with a tearful cadence For one who stands in the dark And knows that his last best arrow Has bounded back from the mark I sing for the breathless runner The eager anxious soul Who falls with his strength exhausted Almost in sight of the goal For the hearts that break in silence With a sorrow all unknown For those who need companions Yet walk their ways alone There are songs enough for the lovers Who share loves tender pain I sing for the one whose passion Is given all in vain For those whose spirit comrades Have missed them on the way I sing with a heart oerflowing This minor strain today And I know the solar system Must somewhere keep in space A prize for that spent runner Who barely lost the race For the plan would be imperfect Unless it held some sphere That paid for the toil and talent And love that are wasted here Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Chicago American In the Latin Quarter BY KILBOURNE COWLES Copyright 1901 by Dally Story Pub Co She climbed the five flights of stairs wearily and panted as she drew the big key to her little room from her pocket It was rather difficult to hold two rolls and a letter in one hand while she unlocked the cumbrous door with the other She was always tired after her days work in the atelier and tonight she seemed to be more so than usual but he- supper and the letter would revive her The precious letter It was late perhaps the stormy weather had belated the mail steamers The concierge had smiled quite hu manly when she gave it to her The concierge had a heart after all hidden underneath her stern manner and somewhat soiled neckerchief Anne had wondered before if she had any softness about her she was always so grim and forbidding even in her hab itual politeness Now she knew she had for she had smiled with actual gentleness when she gave Anne the letter and poor lonely little Anne could have kissed her hands in grati tude The little room was Icy cold and Anne put the letter on the mantel where she could look at It while she built her fire and prepared her tea plain tea At first she had had sugar and milk in her tea then she found that a thin slice of lemon was much nicer and cheaper After while she discovered that sugar was a useless luxury and she had finally come to the conclusion that tea was more strength ening without the lemon The letter was in a blue envelope She kissed the envelope a dear blue envelope and the writing was firm and showed strength of char acter Anne smiled at the French ad dress She knew that Madamolselle was used for her amusement so of course she was amused The letter re ally seemed to smile back at her from the mantel and she crossed the room to lightly kiss the envelope his lips had sealed Her pale cheeks filled with color for an instant and she turned shyly back to the little fire where a copper tea kettle had begun to boil with a semblance of cheerful ness She ate her butterless rolls slowly and sipped her tea deliberately This was Annes way to be childishly im patient for her letter and then when it came to save it and hoard it put ting of the great pleasure of reading it in order to prolong the delight The arrival of those missives from over the sea had marked the red letter days i3a In all the months she had lived in her little room in Rue Servandoni In the summer time she had usually take the letter into the Jardin du Luxembourg and read It over and over again there in the soft twilight No one in the garden ever spoke to Anne or disturbed hor Perhaps because her clothes were too shabby and unat tractive or more probably because there was a nun like steadiness In the gaze of her deep gray eyes that dis armed the heedless students who are wont to tease unattended girls For even the American girl the most free of all creatures comes In for her share of good natured comment In the Quar tier Latin At last Anne was ready to read her letter She sank -down before the tiny blaze of her open fire and un sealed it with deliberation commenc ing slowly and gradually reading fast er and faster until she finished it In almost feverish haste whereupon she Edwin Brown repeated Anne began at the beginning again and read it over carefully dwelling in particu lar on one paragraph When I think of the apparent hope lessness of our engagement I feel that I cant in honor bind you to It My struggles here in my profession have as yet barely gained me a meager live lihood and the time when I can offer you even the simplest of homes seems desperately distant With the ocean stretching between us it is difficult to discuss this vital matter but Anne darling I want you to know that as dearly as I love you I will not be self ish enough to keep you to a promise that was generously made when hope shone more brightly upon us If the thought of me Interferes with your art or arrests your study in any way put me from your mind I cant bear to feel that I should be a hindrance or a drag to you Here Anne stopped reading because she could no longer discern the written words through the mist of tears that had gathered over her eyes She felt blind ly about for a handkerchief to bravely dab them away that she might go on with the letter which continued in the tenderest phrases to assure her of his constant unfailing love She knew that he was sincere that her welfare was all that actuated the letter How like him she murmured No other man but Edwin could write a love letter like that and I hope he never will again I could not stand it When at last she fell asleep the letter was clasped in her hands which lay folded on the steamer rug an ad dition to the scanty bedding on her cot and her breath came in quick gasps like the sobs of a little child The atelier was crowded when she went to her work in the wet clay the next morning and she hoped to gain her own corner without attract ing attention But her pale cheeks did not escape the notice of the tall American who was perpetrating a sad ly misshapen figure near her own well blocked out work Are you not well Miss Weber he asked with a note in his voice of deeper feeling than the occasion seemed to demand Quite well thank you Anne re plied wearily and the young man looked at her reproachfully He want ed to tell her that she was doing al together wrong abusing her health wasting her strength and worst of all breaking his heart but experience had taught him that it was not a safe ground of conversation It was the day on which the master the great Parisian sculptor was ex pected to criticize and Anne applied herself assiduously to her clay which under her deft fingers rapidly grew more and more like the model I am through with this said the young man at length I have tested my artistic ability and found that I cant even mold a snow man He scornfully chopped off the nose of his clay figure which only added another deformity to the already creature My old man always said that art was not in our blood but I wanted to see for myself and it didnt take me long Dont think I have not realized how impossible my work is but I have stayed In the atelier you know why and Ill stay yet if you will give me any hope he added eagerly No dont stay Anne replied soft ly He was such a dear boy she could not be anything but gentle to him Well then he said disconsolate ly Ill throw art over and go into the string business with Dad as he has always wanted me to do That will be better I am sure said Anne smiling at the mutilated torso for the oung man had been carelessly hacking it while he talked The old man is certainly dead anx ious for the prodigals return for I got a fifty dollar cablegram from him this morning asking me to pull up stakes and go at once The dear old chap wants a junior partner now bus iness looks so bright He has just won a tremendous lawsuit against a trust some daring young lawyer car ried tho thing through and Dad Is crasy over hlu He wrote me some time ago that If the suit was won ho Intended to retain the chap as per manent counsel for the company It will be the making ofEdwln Bowen whoever he Is Edwin Bowen repeated Anne questionlngly Yes Edwin Bowen My old man even put his name in the cable say ing the suit was won Edwin Bowen Anne said again Why do you know him Yes very well Indeed she an swered and then she fell in a little heap on the damp atelier floor and the students who rushed to aid the young man in bringing her out of the faint spoke together of the serious consequences of overwork rand they all determined to be more moderate than ever As soon as she felt strong enough to walk she started back to her room in Rue Servandoni and the concierge met her at the door of the tall top pling house with a look of alarm for she knew that cablegrams were seri ous things and she had one for the pale little American madamolselle Annes fingers trembled as she tore it open and her heart bounded as she read Darkest before dawn success I am coming my love Nine words beside the address and no code used said Anne vaguely It must have cost twice as much as a whole weeks living and she laughed a little hysterically as she quickly mounted the long narrow stairs for her light heart had given wings to her feet Chinese Mourning If a son on receiving information of the death of his father or mother or wife suppress such intelligence and omits to go into lawful

too which strange as it may seem are but little more known today than they were 200 years ago In fact there are portions of the Pine Barrens which have never known the tread of a white man It is this wilderness that a party of naturalists Mr Stone as chief and Messrs Rehn and Cog gins as assistants are starting out to explore Starting from Medford they make a circuitous route camping as best they can for seven nights and returning to Medford with their col lections In a certain sense of the word this expedition is only prelim inary to others of a more extended na ture which may follow Work in this region must be done by small parties returning frequently to some base of supplies as food is nearly unobtain able and transportation of heavy loads of specimens impossible The expe dition will make observation upon the soil and water supply and collect all manner of plants and animals which will be turned over to eminent special ists for identification Old Eggs from Chinese Statesman Moy Kee a Chinese restaurateur of Indianapolis Ind received a royal gift a few days ago in the form of 100 eggs that had reached the remark able age of 100 years They were still good In fact according to the Chinese view better than they were the day they were laid They had been cured by some process known only to the cooks of China who cater to the man darins and the higher classes exclu sively They had not been cooked nor had the shell been broken The eggs came from no less a personage that Li Hung Chang and the enclosed card a bit of queer paper half a foot long expressed to Moy Kee the compliments of the Chinese statesman and wished the son of the Flowery empire a long and happy journey through life Thousands for Catholic Institutions An adjudication in the estate of Michael Corr

Mrs Judge McAllister writes from 1217 West 33rd st Minneapolis Minn as follows I suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side It Interfered often with my domestic and social duties and 1 never supposed that I would be cured as the doctors medicine did not seem to help me any Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try it Although I started in with little faith I felt so much better In a week that I felt encouraged I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured Words fail to express my gratitude Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for and thanks to Peruna enjoy that now Minnie E McAllister The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to imitate Peruna A great many so called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug stores These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna It is done every day without a doubt We would therefore caution all risks Profundity In college the late John Fiske took up such unusual courses of study as Gothic Icelandic Danish
