Maturity UST yesterday, beside my chair He romped in happy play, But now I cannot find him there, My little lad with flaxen hair ‘The years have lured away. His merry feet were never slow To heed my slightest call; Now many footsteps come and go, But this that I would welcome so, I never hear at all. There is the coat that once he wore, The braided jacket blue, A book his hasty fingers tore; But their wee owner comes no more, The listening hours through. He’s gone beyond my care or ken; We <lwell dim years apart. Oh, Time, too swift your greed for men: I want my little boy again, To cradle on my heart. Anna Camden Hall. Air HE supply of air keeps up remark- | ably well, considering the enor- | mous drain upon it. Everybody is con- stantly dipping into it, either gasping it in or blowing it out in a more or less systematic and regular way, making a steady business of getting as much of it away from the atmosphere as possible. [folepret fPesierg The Favorite Hosiery of Well-Dressed Men i HE decided preference of well-dressed men for "Tieoroat Hosiery is but natural—the lustrous elegance of Holeproof appeals to good taste as much as its famous wearing qualities appeal to sound judgment.

Made for women and children too. HOLEPROOF HOSIERY COMPANY, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Some people suck it in as if they hated it and wanted to worry it to death. No- body spares the air. Nobody appar- ently thinks that the air has any feel- ings. Those horrid, untidy creatures, the scientists and chemists, subject it to any amount of pain and inconveni- ence by pressing it into ugly tanks and then, when it is half-dead from being shut letting it out into all sorts of strange invalids through nasty rubber tubes. And the air is constantly complain- | ing, as well it may. It whistles mourn- fully through trees, and howls at night, and rushes around corners; it moans and sings and croons and screams, and how few there are who have any idea of how much it suffers! We are careless of air because there isso much of it. Consider how shame- less and extravagant so many women are in drawing upon it. Yet it must have some sort of affection for us, for it clings to us so closely, and the farther away it gets from us the rarer it be- comes ! After all, can we blame the air if it keeps making itself over into weather, in order to get itself talked about? The air probably reasons, in a manner not uncommon to human beings of con- siderable intelligence, that it is better to get yourself talked about, even when mean and ribald things are being said about you, than it is not to be talked about at all.
