^ Tlie Voice of Life. A maiden stood at the edge of ' thing#, , Looking with curiouH eyes Off Into the mint - veiled borders where Tho Country of Womanhood lion. She lifted her finger and touched the veil, * Impatient to fling it wide; Said she: "There are beautiful, wonderful things For me on the other sldel" A woman stood in tho midst of things ? A woman weary; and pale; And "Wait awhile!" she cried to < the child On tho other side of the veil. "Out here in the Country of Wo manhood Are wonderful . things, 'tis true, And tho voice of life, like a silver bell, Is calling, calling to you. "But wait ih tho Land of Dreams, for hero The! clouds oft hidei tho sun. The road is rough and the way la long, ? With always a task undone. "Success and failure, laughter and . tJars, Wlrh many a heartach6, too, All wait in the Country of Woman hood, Dear little girl, for youj" "But," said tho girl, "if hearts inuat ache, Sometimes they are also blest; And perhaps the toilsomo way may lead To the I^p.ven -of Perfect Rest. "And s b, for the voice of life is strong, I'm coming alono to see Whether the Jewel - Btarred crown of love . Is waiting there for me!" She paused uncertain, perhaps afraid. But the warning liptf* were dumb; For the woman slowly lifted the veil, And said to the maiden: "Come!" *. * ' * ? ? ?

St. Paul, Nov. 6. ? Baby carriages hereafter in Minnesota carry warn ing light- when used after dark-, two white lights ih front and a red >ie at the rear.

Already the streets in the resi dent!^ districts of St. Paul look, by night, as if firs fly processions were passing through them. and women with babies are studying up on the rules of the road.
