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.
