DAFFODILS.
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd ,
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees ,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze .
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance ,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee ;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company :
I gazed and gazed but little thought
what wealth to me the show had brought :
For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood ,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude ;
And then my heart with rapture thrills
And dances with the daffodils .

Beneath arched brows his

Good dragoman

A smile illuminating

Now it comes to pass that the halo
with which the Tribune has feebly as
sisted in surrounding Lizzie Cottman,
the Sioux county teacher who was
credited with heroically saving her pu
pils from a watery grave, has been dis
solved by a cold douse of truth. There
was no such act of heroism performed
by Lizzie Cottman or any one else. We
do not know -there is such a person as
Lizzie Cottman. The only authentic
part of the pretty story is that there is
a'Sioux county. The rest was gener
ated in the fertile mind of a newspaper
correspondent, doubtless the tained
liar who has the Sioux Indians in an
outbreak, ever and anon, at space rates.

Institute is in personal charge.

IN THE DAYS OF LESS.
The'coatless man puts a careless arm
'Round the waist of the hatless girl,
As over the dustless and mudless roads
In a horseless carriage they whirl.
Like a leadless bullet from a hammerless gun,
By smokeless powder driven,
They fly to taste the speechless joy
By endless union given.
Though the only lunch his coinless purse
Affords to them the means
Is a tasteless meal of boneless cod
With a "side " of stringless beans.
He puffs a tobaccoless cigarette
And laughs a mirthless laugh
When papa tries to coax her back
By wireless telegraph.
"RECESSIONAL."
So many accounts of the way in which
"Recessional" reached The Times have
been published on "the very best
authority" that it may be as well to
dispose of them by the publication of
the following letter which enclosed the
MS.:
Dear
Enclosed please find my sentiment
on things which I hope are yours.
We've been blowing up the Trumpote
of the Moon a little too much for White
Men, and it's about time we sobered
down.
If you would like it, it's at your ser
vice on the old conditions that I can
use it if I want it later in book form.
The sooner it's in print the better. I
dou't want any proof. Couldn't you
run it tonight so as to end the week
piously?
If it's not your line, please drop me a wire .
Ever yours sincerely ,
R. K.
