A ROBIN ON THE THORN.
.1
t
t The frost Is on the meadow,
i There Is snow, and cold's the morn,
i Hut from the window 1 have seen
A robin on the thorn.
Not yet a leaf on any tree,
Nor ever grass blade green.
Hut this dull day of winter,
A robin d have seen.
Perhaps his winter quarters
In yonder thicket are;
Perhaps he tarried here and thought
The sunny south too far;
* W hen other birds went flying thers
He lingered here, 1 ween;
On this chili day of winter
I A robin I have seen.
So brave the little fellow.
His breast so bright and red,
He strutte.d past the pane and cocked
His small, defiant head.
I First robin of the season, he
Just pioneered the scene,
As fearless as a brigadier;
Full dauntless was his mien.
p;:
Oh robin, swift the coming
Shall be of lovely spring! !’
Kre long In forest and in wold
Will flit how many a wing!
But none of all the feathered host.
When all the trees are green,
Will be so beautiful as you.
First robin I have seen.
This-wintry day when northers
May yet come sweeping by.
W hen storm and tempest brood aloft
In sullen, leaden sky,
You've dared the chance of weather,
You, splendid and serene.
And I am less a craven, for
A robin I have seen.
—Margaret E. Sangster, in Everywhere.
Also Got
the House
ON May 1 last a young professional
man and his wife, who had then just
come to Washington from a western
state to settle, rented a furnished house
uptown for the season. They expressly
contracted for the whole plant and fix
tures. from cellar to attic.
The ow ner of the furnished honse—
a club and guild woman of degree—held
out for a good, round rental Her teems
were accepted, the contract was signed,
a sizeable bunch of the season’s rental
was paid in advance, and the yo«wng
couple from the west, breathing sighs of
relief, naturally figured that they &ad
i an outfit all their own till the cold
I weather began.
But they were wrong in their handi
capping figures.
Three days after they were installed
I their landlady, all amiability and smiles.
1 as befitted the manner of a lady whofre
! quently presides over woman’s meet
ings of one sort or another, called in the
afternoon, in the absence of the head oi
the house.
She was received by the yonng man’s
wife. They talked weather, ailments,
eut-on-the-bias and polo hat for a few
moments, and then the landlady’s eye
suddenly—that is with apparent sudden
ness—fell upon a couple ©f smaij busts
—Beethoven and Mozart—that rested
upon ebony pedestals in the parlor.
“Oh, those dear busts!” she ex
claimed. in a tone of passionate longing.
“You cannot conceive how I miss them
—I do so dote on Baytoven particularly!
i Would it grieve you too much, my dear
j if I were to ask you to let me have them
for my rooms?”
The young mistress of the household
was a bit taken back, but young matrons
are easily hypnotized by elders of their
eex, especially those wh • are so distin
guished that they occasionally preside
over women's meetings.
"Er—certainly; I can understand how
one becomes attached to little articles of
that sort—take them, by all means,” she
replied, wondering what her husband
■would say when he discovered the ab
sence of the busts.
“Thank you so much, my dear—I'll
send a man for them this very after
noon,” said the landlady, rising and tak
ing an effusive departure.
An hour later a man with a pushcart
hove to alongside the curb in front of the
house, and when he got under way
again he had the busts of Beethoven and
Mozart, with their pedestals, in the hold
of his craft.
“Huh!" was all that the young ma
tron’s husband said when, upon his re
1 turn that evening, she told him abou
j the absentee busts.
Five days later the landlady oalle<
again, bubbling over with good spirit:
and cheerfulness. After a few moment!
of breezy conversation, she got an eye
focus on a leather couch in the sittinj
room, with four or five couch pillow!
| banked upon the same.
“It is silly of me. my dear. I know,’
she ejaculated, “but do you know that
miss that couch dreadfully? I used t<
always lie down on it for an hour aftei
luncheon, and I found it so restful
Would you think It—er—covetous o
me, my dear, if I should ask you to let
me have it for my rooms?”
"Why—er—ah—if—er—” the young
mistress of the household began weakly,
when she w as impaled by the landlady’s
eagle eye.
“I am sure I should not object my
self,” she went on. “but my husband,
you see. has become quite attached to
the couch, and when he comes in, all
tjred out. he likes to—but I'll tell him.—”
"So kind of you, my dear—your hus
band will not object. I know—he is so
agreeable,” interrupted the landlady, ef
fusively. It makes an old woman like
me feel quite envious to see how happy
you tw’o are together, indeed it does!
Very well, I shall send for the couch this
afternoon, and please do not let the man
who comes forget the pillows, there's a
dear.”
Whereupon she rose, pressed the
young matron's hand fervently, and was
off. Half an hour tater the push-cart
man came up, four bells, under a full
head of steam and forced draught, and
when he pointed down street again be
had the couch and pillow's property
stowed amidships.
“Why. what’s becrane of the lounge?”
inquired the head of the house when,
after dinner that evening, he was ready
to stretch himself out for a bit of a
smoke. His wife told him. He look»?d
at her qnite fixedly.
“My o’ear,’ ’said he*, “you’re develop
ing into more different kinds of a coma
on. a mairk, and a goad thing than y<«i
ever wer« before. Cr*t contiguous isn
yourself, my dear. Puactice the frozstn
countenance a little more, even if you
do have Bo abandon some of the delsarle.
I was very fond of mat couch. I siars
was.”
About a week 1.titer the landlady
showed ip gain.
"I do lope she woirt be wanting any
thing this time!” fervently said the
young matron to henselt when the serv
ant brought her the jaurd.
The landlady was as girlishly, giuhlily
amiabl e and affectionate as upon her
previous visits. Afteo expatiating at.con
siderable length upon, sundry and riiivers
topics af the day, s&ie had a s udden
think.
“Oh my dear. I kitw there was some
thing 3 wanted tui ask you," site ex
claimed. her crafty countenance crink
ling with benign smiles. That piano
lamp'—isn’t it a tecely one?—presented
to me for being the most popula r lady of
my guild. I do miss it so much! It she.Is
such; a soft, mellow glow, don’t you
think? And I’n* going to ha\a a small
midsummer musicale in my teeny, teeny
rooms the first cool night, ant I'd he so
m uch obliged to you if you could let me
have it for a couple of weeks?'
“But I fear that my hsrsband—he
plays, you know—might—#r—he is so
particular about the little things around
the house, you know—and he might—er
—” was the weak reply oi the young
matron of ihe household.
“Oh. I am perfectly sure he would not
mind,” interrupted the landlady, off
hand. in her confident way. “Why, he
is the most delightfully agreeable man—
I declare. I have quite fallen in love with
him! Very well. then, my dear, I shall
send the man for It this afternoon.”
Then the landlady, giving the young
matron's hand the most fetching, fas
cinating little squeeze imaginable* took
her leave.
"Well, she’s been here again,” said
the . oung w'ife to her husband when he
came in. ,
"Who’s that?" he inquired.
"Why, the landlady,’* said his wife.
>i what did sh© swipe this time?”
he asi. d her.
“The piano \imp. .e reply.
The young professional man is a seff
jwnta.ined individual but this time be
was too hot 1 «r utterance. So he put on
Sts hat and c jat and went out into the air I
3or the purpose of permitting suradry I
and divers thoughts to percolate the
better thr<*igh his skull in the open.
The next morning at 11 o'cloc k a big
moving \an pulled up in front of the
house. Tie young professional mau was
waiting for it. His wife was not. He)
had the piano and the piano stool load
ed into, the van and ordered the man in
charge of the wagon to take them to
the landlady's address. He gave the
man a note to deliver to the landlady.
I The note ran thus:
"Respected Madam: I am naturally of
i & warm, generous disposition, and I
cannot bear to Think of your having
your piano lamp without the piano and
| stool that go with same. So l am send
i Ing them to you. Please do not embar
i r ass or confuse me with words of thanks.
The pleasure is mine, l assure you.
i “P. S.—By the way. your house is at
■ your disposal. 1 am going to change my
1 address to-day if 1 can find an ‘unfur
nished’ house that suits. With great
j respect, etc., etc.”
The young professional man and his
| wife are now occupying a fiat that they
rented unfurnished, and are buying
their furniture on the excitemeut plan,

Dignity of the Bench.
The federal bench holds some of the
gieate6t lawyers in the country, and
not a member of that bench draws a
salary which is equal to the individual
earnings of thousands of lawyers whose
J names are unknown beyond their own
i bailiwicks. This is acondition. says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which has
existed from the foundation of the gov
j ernment and it is to be hoped that it
; will always exist. There is no manner
; by which the judiciary and other
branches of public service could be
more cheapened and degraded than by
making the emoluments of office so at
tractive that the offices would be sought
merely for the pay which goes with
I them.
