Out from the fkecy folds of the clouds , Ob hffl aad prakie and plam , The Spring god shakes with a liberal hand The silvery guerdon of rata . And the sleeping grasses lift their heads And peep from the sodden earth , And the flowers stir m the wombs of mould And keg for their hour of birth. And the sound of the ram is sweet to the ear Like the rustle of stik on the floor , And its message tells us the spring is here In waiting outside the door. William Reed Duoroyv in Sioux City Tribune. London, because there was man I knew comin' here, too, an' I wrote to Cynthy to come right over as bood as she could, an we'd live aour lives aout here; fer bad as it was here, nothin' on top of creation could temp' me to go back, not even her pretty face." He stopped a minute and a halt closed his eyes, and I fancy he was calling her pretty face back through the thirty years. "Well, well, that was hard linee," said I. "Yes, but it was wusa when 1 got ber reply. She told me she hedn't bed a happy minute Eence 1 left, although she hedgone up toSaratogy, but the water tasted like something was into it, an she'd .come away after one day, an' was now on the farm at Goodspeed's Land ing. An' she said that ef rd been bo sick the'd proba'ly die, an' Bhe couldn't bear to think of bein' heaved into the Atlantic, an' must stop where she was. Ah me! Sence then we've be'n as lovin, as we could be, writin' reg'Iar an' re memberin' each other's birthdays an' aour weddin' annivetsariee; but we aint Bot eyes on each other, an' won't until we're' both safe on that other shore they tell us abaout. An' I hope thet trip'll be a smooth one.' "And what does Mrs. Tainlor do all alone?'' Heik oucked the ashes out of his pipe and put it into bis pocket before he replied: "She runs the old 'farm as I never could have run it. She's a born farm er, that wife of mine is. She has a hired man to help, but she does a good share of the work herself, an' every year she sen's me halt the airnieg'e; an' I live on here, hatin' it all an' hopin' for the time to come when the ocean'll eith er dry up or freeze over, or that Cynthy will overcome her dislike to the trip. Married life aint e'zac'Iy pleasant so fur apart, but I c'n truthfully say we've never quar'led sence I come here, an' I aint seen a woman sence I landed that could hold a candle to Cynthy. Cynthy is a pretty gal." Shortly afterward the old man retired to his own room, and then my friend, who bad not spoken once since we came out, wickedly hinted that maybe Mr. Talntoronly imagined that he loved Cynthy. and that they were happier separated; but I hate to spoil idyls in thpt way. To me it is very beautiful, the thought of that dear old lady in Connecticut, who runs the farm and writes loving letters to hnr expatriated spouse and sends him a share ot the profits, but who cannot overcome her antipathy to the unstable sea. And when I think of Mr. Taintor as he ap peared that evening in Bloomsbury, with his honest Yankee face, and his loya'ty to Yankee traditions, and his ardent love for his absent wife, I say, "Hurrah for both of them!' eligible for memberahip. The dues are to be $10 a year for resident members and $3 for non-resident members, the latter not to have the privilege of voting or holding office unless they pay full dues. The club house is to be situated between Twenty-third and Twenty second streets, and between Fourth and Sixth avenues. A guarantee fund of $1,009 has been secured from two-alumnae associations and will be increased by the others represented in the city. The hope of the leaders in the move, ment is to procure a house which shall include reception and assembly rooms, sleeping rooms forout-of-ton members, and a restaurant. HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED Ot the "Americans Abroad' ot whom Charles Battell Loomis is writing in the Century, one of the oddest is Jonathan Taintor, who loves his wife at long range for thirty years, the broad Atlantic keeping them separated all that time, but interposing no barrier to their mu tual affection. "The amount of seasickness she saved herself by stayin' to hum," says Jona than, "couldn't be recokoned 'thout I was a scholar, which I aint. I took to ny berth before we was aout of sight of land, an' f the brimstun of the future is any wees 'an what T suffered, I don't want to die. Bat 1 wished 1 could die all the way over.

The St. Joseph Gazette-Herald of April the fifteenth, sys of "Town Top re," who are at the Oliver Theatre this afternoon and evening: "The biggest bit that has been made in St Joseph this season was that made by Mr. W. H. Mack and his company of camedianB at the Lyceum yesterday af ternoon and evening. Two good audi ences greeted both performances and the applause at times was deafening. The company is composed of actors of un usual ability. Mr. W. H. Mack, in the double role of "Willie Pay" and "Bertie Chiuaway,' is completely satisfactory. Willie Dunlay, who also has a double role, that ot the tramp and the detec tive, is better than the average actor seen in roles ot this kind. Emma Lit tlefield is a clever actress, and captured the audience at the start. May Phelps, in singing the ''New Born King," dem onstrated the fact that she has a su. perior voice." The company will close its engagement here with tonight's per formance. Popular prices. Seats now on Bale. J. g. gtccenson, Fl Manages Property. 5 I'lURTRY BLK. . . 11TH AND M. i m First Pub.
