Before the touch of time ntt'l care

How fondly nurse the tender ties

The hopes and joys of ether days—
The loved ones gone before:
The feet that trod life's thorny ways,
And half our burdens bore.
The tender love that guarded us

Now still and silent lie!

“All actresses?” retorted a prominent pho
tographer to a Dispatch reporter, who was
tumbling over an immense heap of female
likenesses in his reception room. “Well, 1
guess not. Hardly the half of them are. It's
plain you’re not much of a society man

“Why.'’
"Because, if you were, there is hardly a
face there you wouldn't recognize. Two-
thirds of those have have lieen reflected by
ti.e mirrors of our swell drawing-rooms much
of idler than they have by a camera.

The big sensation following the advent of
the New Year was the shooting of Mr. John

shot would have been fatal but for the heavy

excitement, and sympathy is unlimited near
