^ 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!"

LIGHTB ON BABY BUGGIES
And Wheelbarrows Required In a
Minnesota Town.
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. It's all due to
a mistake, a kind o' "joker" that
somehow got in the. new tariff law
just passed by the Legislature, but
it "goes/' according to an opinion
rendered today by Attorney General
Simpson. \
Children's velocipedes, wheelbar
rows, and kiddies' express wagons
are also included in the provisions
of the law, which really was intend
ed only to help automobiles and mo
tor cyclists, by compelling horse
drawn vehicles to carry lights. .But
the language was clumsily put "the
other users of wheeled vehicles."
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. One
prominent suburbanite has rfYranged
to keep his auto in the garage three
nights a week in order that his wife
may use the autc* lamps on her ba
by carriage.
