Latest Song Poem by
THOMAS J. RYAN
Skagway, Alaska
There'll be surprises and nations,
And all kinds of new creations,
And Science is bound to be there.
So never mind Teddy,
But get yourself ready
For to go and see the World's Great Mammoth Big Fair.
CHORUS
Those people so great.
Have bonded their flowery golden state,
They want us all to be there,
And see the World's Great Mammoth Big Fair.
There'll be meetings and greetings.
And welcomes for every one there;
So if you have time and money to spare,
Go and see the World's Great Mammoth Big Fair.
This golden city and state.
Nature and art is moulding her great;
Her earthly desire since earthquake and fire
Is to be monarch of all she surveys.*"
She got the golden ring,
And we'll give her the mighty, big swing
\\ hen wo go and see the World's Great Mammoth Big Fair.
[Chorus]
I'hs decoration for this great mammoth celebration.
W ill be flags of all nations,
And all kinds of inaugurations —

Ihere'i' or. dreadnoughts and sailor knots, and care knots
And United fiates knots.

We're only one nation, and we want no dictation.

A MESSAGE TO MOTHER.
It Came Wth t'ie Passing cf H<r Dear
ly Beloved Babe.
It is tim;> for uie to go, mother; I am
going. U'heii in the paling darkness
of the lonely dawn yon stivt-t aiil
your arm for your babj ia tile bed I
shall say, "baby Is uot there"- mother
I am going
I shall become a de!leaf" draft ol
air and caress yon and I hnII lie rip
pies in the water when vo» bathe and
kiss you and Uiss you again
Iu the gusty night when the ralu
natters on the leaves you will hear my
whisper In your boa. and my iati£uter
will flnsb with the lightning through
the open window into your room.
If you lie awake, thinking of your
baby until late In the night, 1 shall
sing to you from the stars. "Sleep
mother, sleep."
On the straying moonbeams 1 shall
steal over your bed and lie upon your
bosom while you sleep.
I shall become a dream, and through
the little opening of jour eyelids 1
shall slip into the depths of your sleep,
and when you wake up and look round,
startled like a twinkling firefly, I shall
flit out into the darkneiis.
When on the great festival of puja
the neighbors' children come and play
about the bouse I shall melt into the
music of the flute and throb in your
heart all day.
Dear nun tie will conio with puja
presents and will ask, "Where Is our
baby, sister?" Mother, you will tell
her softly, "De Is In the pupils of my
eyes; he Is in my body and In my
soul."—From "The Crescent Moon," by
Rtibludranntb Tagore.
Business and Army Recruits.
Army officers ore apt to smile at the
very time that business men wear
grave faces. When trqde and industry
fall off the applicants for enlistment
are also of so superior quality as to
make glad the hearts of recruiting
officers. Young men thrown out of
work, especially those who are not ex
pert, but "flt in" to trades and callings,
are Inclined to tblnk that Dncle Sam's
service presents the attraction of
steady pay to the steady, even if the
monthly wage Is not more tban 515.
The army half loaf is better than the
civilian no bread-Boston Transcript
"Knocked Into a Cocked Hat."
The meaning of this expression is not
generally kuown. "Cocked hat" was a
variety of the game of tenpins. In
which only three plus were used, set
up at the angles of a triangle. When
in bowling at tenpins all were knocked
down except the three at the corners
the set was said to be "knocked Into a
cocked hat," whence the popular ex
pression for depriving anything of its
main body, character or purpose.—Lon
don Express.
Rubber Erasers.
India -rubber was used for the first
time as an eraser in 1770, when a very
small piece was sold for 3 marks. It
was, however, many years later before
it was put Into general use. Prior to
this the crumb of bread was used for
erasing purposes.—London Mall.
A CynicaLView.
"Married life is somewhat like a pack
of cards." says a lady novelist "Hearts
figure but little any more, but If the
husband has diamonds enough clubs
become popular, and sooner or later a
gpade Is his Inst trump."—Glasgow
Herald.

Joke
By SARAH BAXTER
No one knows of the serious and
comic episodes that have occurred be
tween telegraph operators. I refer more
particularly to those of the opposite
sex. 1 have been n telegraph operator
for twenty years, and I can count five
marriages between operators that I
know of personally. And three of
those began by the sending of mes
sages between persons who had never
seen each other.
When I was a young man I was lo
cated at a railroad station in a quiet
place where there was no recreation
whatever. 1 spent most of my time
in rhe office, and In order to get away
with the time when I -was not busy
I kept books there. I read everything
I <ould get to read aud even then
there were times when I was hungry
for something to do. One evening I
was cm Hal on for some Information
about a train by an operator some dis
tance down the road and, being par
ticularly lonesome, asked if there was
anything going on "at your station."
I was (lying for something to break
the monotony of my existence, and if
there wus a ball or a barn dance X
would run over by the next train.
My correspondent replied that there
was nothing on hand for that evening,
but there would be a dance in Aeolian
hall in a few days. I asked if he
would get nn' an invitation, but he re
plied that it was a pay dance, the
tickets being for sale 'to any one who
could pa- (lie committee, and be didn't
thiuk I would have any trouble.
1 had said nothing over the wire
about whether I was man or woman,
nT>r had my correspondent. I nssumed
that he was a man, and he talked to
me as though he supposed me to be a
man :.!v >. Hut presently he said some
thing that sounded feminine, and I
wondered if I was not talking with a
woman. T asked to which sex he belong
ed. and the reply came, "A man." But
there was a hesitancy between the "a"
and "mau" which led me to believe that
my suspicions were correct Then It
occurred to use to say that I was a wo
man. • •
Upon tliis my correspondent began
to say some very gallant tilings to me.
Some of tliem were without a manly
ring and couched in phrases that a wo
man rather thai* a man would use. I
replied, using as feminine language as
I could command, and I flatter myself
I was very successful. Then came a
request for iny photograph, and I con
sented to an exchange. I have a num
ber «>f pictures of relatives and friends
and sent one of my sister's, who had
the nnuie of being a very pretty girl.
I received one of a fairly good looking
young man. Then my correspondent
and I indulged in any quantity of flat
tery. he telling me that I was pretty
enough to kiss and I telling him that
he was "just too bttndsome for any
thing."
After several days, with occasional
chats over the wire, I was still uncer
tain whether I was chatting with a
man or a woman. As to my corre
spondent, 1 couldn't Infer from any
thing he said that he didn't believe me
to bo a woman. He invited me to go
with him to the dance iu Aeolian hall,
and 1 accepted the invitation with
thanks. He asked what train I would
come on and promised to have a car
riage at the station to take me to the
dance. I took a lady friend into my
confidence, and she wrote out a num
ber of questions for me to ask my
correspondent as to how I should ar
ray myself.
\\ ilL'll HIB (_*>«ruius uuic IVI..— » „v.v
myself up in the best clothes I had and
provided myself with a bouquet. If my
correspondent should turn out to be a
man our episode would have little sa
vor; if he were a woman It would be
interesting. I wondered if he were in
doubt about my sex and how. if a wo
man, she would receive me. My train
arrived at the station at 8 p. in., and
the dance was to begin at 8:30. As
the train drew up to the station I saw
from the window several girls in their
best dresses standing together on tlie
platform. One in the center of the
group held a bouquet. I made up my
mind at once that my correspondent
was a girl and (he one with the bou
quet. If she expected a priri she would
not be looking out for one. I alighted
from the train and walked right past
the group, none of them taking any no
rtec of me, but still on the lookout
It was evident to me that they ex
pected one of their own sex, upon
whom they would have the laugh. I
■stepped up to them, my hat in one
hand and my bouquet in the other, and
asked the center one if she were ex
pecting me. The look of surprise on
her fare gave way before a twinkle
in my eye to one of defeat; then the
<vhole party broke into a laugh. I
handed the center figure my bouquet
and accepted hers.
"You've lost. Kit!" cried one of the
girls, and the rest followed with good
natured taunts.
"I have a carriage for you, as I prom
ised," said Kit. "Come!"
Going to the other side of the sta
tion, I got into a carriage with her,
while her friends entered another.
Then we all drove to the dance, and I
found myself an object of interest to
every one there, the secret having been
told how a joke was to have been play
ed on a girl telegrapher and how the
joker caught a tartar.
I was made acquainted with every
one in the hall and passed a delightful
evening.
