SprliiK Fever. i
On days like these u voice comes fior.i the
fields?
A winsome voice, homo on the t< tapered j
. breeze?
That bear* the wnk'nillg music of the brocks. I
The op'tiing chorus of tin- grcnt shade trr.s. j
It fills me with desire to renin til rend,
To start iificld at breaking of the dawn. ' |
Cooped tip indoors, my work seems dull and
flat;
I'm very tired; I stretch and gape and yawn.
Who hears that voice of spring without a thrill ;
Who would not rather that his lot were ? as;
With field and meadow, bubbling brook and 1
dell,
Than with an office job that holds htm fast?
I would n-flshingko or picnicking?
A hammock have on shady lawn,
A girl, n book, a pipe, most any thing 1
Save sitting hero to stretch and gnpo and
yawn.
1 yearn to wander hnongst the ancient hills.
To cull wild flowers from tho brittle of
NirrninH,
To list tin) story of the murmurous rills
An<l lull my drowsy soul to pleasant dreams.
1 want l" loaf, to run uway, to shirk,
To ilo/.e iixvtiy the hours in nature's lap?
#Ju other wolds, 1 want to dodito my work,
And? ali-h-h? 1 think?I'm goint; to take a
nap!

The senior senator from Illinois gave
nn object lesson in politeness to a whole
street ear full of people one afternoon,
unci much 1 wish that 10 times as litunv
ears had been tliero to hear, for lit ir
own everlasting good. It was ;in-t a little
after 1 o'clock, and the cars were
crowded. A tired looking man with a
painful limp came in with the erowil rt
the Fifteenth street transfer station an 1
stood clinging to u strap ju t in front
of .Senator Cnlloiu. The senator look. I
tip, and, seeing the weary face, instantly
rose and offered liis scat. The man
demurred. The senator insisted.
"Sit down, sit down," said ho cheerily.
"Yon mustn't stand. Sit down."
The man sank into the seat'and the
tnll lllinoisan contented him -'If with a
strap. From hencath a poppy laden hat
the bright eyes of a little girl, mar
whom he stood, peered up at him eagerly.
At last he looked down and saw her.
"Won't you tako my seat t" she said
politely.
The senator smiled down at her anil
shock hi., head.
"No, thank yon, child," he said
"Y'ou mustn't ever give up your seat to
a man. It sets a bad example, a very
bad example."
And he stood till he left the car Washington

An Americanism In Paris.
Nothing is more incomprehensible to

CURRENT MISCELLANY.
At the ivv nt luutlieon giveu by, the
fitjv k?y of Hew England Women one
oi'irso was baked beans with Doston
brown bread. The beans were baked in
tiny individual beanpots of brown pottrrv,
perfect counterparts of the larger
vox !s sacred to this use in New Eiirland.
An inch square liit of fork, with
rind properly so. red. was in each i?ot,
tender, succulent baked beans surround

substantial ami rather homely dish a
n?* st palatable delicacy. When the
curse hail been eaten, so many ladies
looked with lnngiug eyes upon the little
pots thilt the waiters yielded to tho
inevitable, carried theni oil, washed and
r< tmued them to the company, to 1k?
borne away in delighted triumph. Another
souvenir of the luncheon was, at
each cor. r, a tiny box, in simulation of
the fatuous chests of Dohca, tea that
for ml a resting placo in lioston harl>or
on that memorable night of 17751. The
little boxes contained tea said to be of
the anmo brand and were suitably inscribed
in commemoration 'of that famous
tea party of over a ceiitmy ago.
