Adown a street where gleamed the
bright lights of wine bibbers’ haunts,
and the baleful glare of the oyster sa
loon fell upon the sifomrih, a young
man strode with quirt, nervous step
and a wistful haunting look in his eye.
At a corner where the crowd of eager,
jostling pedestrians was thickest he
peuaed and looked anxiously around.
The soft, low tinkle of a bell was heard.
Clasping a bruised nickel in his left

It neeau impossible for Senators to

any one can be convinced by a speech has
gone oat of fashion.
The essays are intended for publication

open in her lap. I noticed that the con

with an expression which might have
meant a good deal had I in the leest sus

the oar in the neighborhood of a large
red-brick building, which I took to be a
young ladies’ seminary, and got out
without betraying a contciourneen of
my existence, from which I opined that
she was afraid of being late for school
and didn’t know her lesson.
At about 2 o’clock iu the afternoon I
found myself riding up-town in the
same car. The lack of other ‘means of
amusement had rendered me a close ob
server, and consequently when the oar
stopped and a woman’s-righte-looking
woman got in, apparently a spinster of
uncertain age, my looks were riveted
upon her, and, in spite of the difference

claimed to myself:
