The Inside Inn.
It is announced that members of the
Cauadian Press Association who take
in the associatiou's excursion to the
World's Fair at St. Louis will be ac-
commodated at the Inside Inn. We
have some inside information about
this inn which we propose to publish
in this column. It is a first-class place
for editors to stop at. There is a staff
of twelve bartenders all of 'em mem-
bers of the union and two cooks. It
looks like more cooks than necessary,
but the proprietor explains that he ex-
pects to have other guests besides the
editors -at least, until they begin to
lose their jewelry. Is is a family hotel.
The bar closes sharp at 4.47 a.m., and
will remain tight shut till 5 a.m. Some
sections maty reasonably. be expected,
tl.owigh these rainfalls 'will be. largely
confined to central, western and south
There's no place like home- • when
there is no other place to go.
The sweetness of adversity is apt to
sour a man's disposition.
A man can make his wife believe al-
most anything -during the honeymoon.
Of course, the real test of a pudding is
your inability to sleep after eating it.
Any man who is continually making a
fool of himself must be a natural-born
tautologist.
THE BROOKSIDE.
(Lord Boughton.'
I wandered by the brookside,
I wandered by the mill;
I could not hear the brook flow;
The noisy wheel was still;
R
Th re was no burr ofgrasshopper,
No chirp of any bird,
Bur the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.
1 sat beneath the elm tree;
I watched the long, long shade.
And as it grew still louger
I did not feel afraid;
For I listened for a footfall,
I listened for a word,
But the beatiug of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.
He came not, no, he came not,
The night came on alone,
The little stars sat. one by one,
Each on his goldeu throne;
The evening wind passed by my cheek
The leaves above were stirred,
But thebeatiug of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.
Fast. silent tears were flowing.
When something stood bellied;
A hand was ou my shoulder,
I knew its touch was kind;
It drew me nearer -nearer -
We did not speak one word.
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.
