AT DUSK. When I come home to you the way seems long, Though weariness and carewhich all the day Have hovered near, are routed by the song Of my glad heart and, vanquished, fade away; While fancy paints the twilight's somber hue With visions, dear, of coming home to you. When I come home to you, and love and rest, I smile to think, today I envied men Who only are by wealth and power blest; How poor they seem, I haste my steps again. Their treasures, after all, pre small and few, Because, at dusk, they go not home to you. When I come home to you and And you there, The wonder child clasped tight, within your arms, The day's last gloamings haloing your hair And shadowing your tender eyes' deep charms; The same joy thrills me as when first I knew The story, dear, of coming home to you. Mabel Stevens-Freer, in Ains lee's. ISSUED YEAR BOOK. The Richmond Country club has issued Its year book for nineteen hundred and thirteen. The book ;s neatly done and is brown and black.

Potter has returned to his home in Terre Haute, Indiana, after spending the holidays here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Potter. ABOUT THE KOLPS. The following clipping from a Chicago paper concerning Mrs. Charles Kolp, Miss Elizabeth Kolp and Mr. Peter Lichtenfels, is of interest. They are known as the dancing Mars: Menlo Moore, who has many spectacular novelties on the vaudeville stage, is producing an act that cannot be too highly praised, and although it is first on the bill, it could hold down any other position equally as well. The Dancing Mars are presenting something that is way above the ordinary. Amid elaborate stage settings the Mars, who are masters of grace and terpsichorean skill, produce dances of many kinds. It is a neat and refined offering and has all the earmarks of Class A. A SENSE OF VALUES. A good sense of values is the best part of common sense. Some of us nave It as applied to one thine and some applied to another, but nearlv all of us lack it as applied to certain things. Once, not long ago. not far awav. a certain housewife traded a fresh face j and a supple figure for a neat house. "Mine is the cleanest house in this town, and everybody knows it," she was fond of saying. Her house is so neat that people joke about it: but she is a wreck of her former pelf. A certain counle had a hrinht hov The father had not had very much of ! an education, so he determined that j his son should have cue. But even an

education may be valued at more than its real worth. At 10 the boy was specItacled; at 12 he was toop-shouldered and headachy; at 14 he was in classes jwith boys three and four years older; at 15 he was in the cemetery. It too often happens that we overvalue the things we haven't got and undervalue the thinps we have. Hence, pessimism and most other ills. The knack of seeing things in right perspective, at their true value, and going after them for what they are worth and getting them at the right price, and of never paying heavily for things that are worthless, is about the best knack one can have. It isn't genius. It isn't talent. It is only common sense which is really rarer than either. MEETS FRIDAY. The Woman's Home Missionary So ciety of the First M. E. church will meet Friday afternoon with Mrs. Will Ryan at her home, 233 South Fifteenth street at two thirty o'clock. The members are invited to attend. TO NEW YORK. Mrs. Pollitz has gone to New York ! on business. j IS IN TOWN. ! Mr. Paul Connell, advertising manjager on the Sioux City (Iowa) Journal i is in town.

Not only dainty and usable, but very safe, is this new shopping bag designed for the New Tear shopper. It has a special handle attachment that straps around the wrist. The bag is a smart affair of pin seal leather, with a ueat monogram on the outside and the usual convenient inside pockets. WEDDING RING LORE. Interesting Facts About This Golden Circlet of Sentiment. In the Isle of Man the wedding ring was formerly used as an instrument of torture. Cyril Davenport in his book on "Jewelry" remarks that there once existed a custom in that island according to which an unmarried girl who had been offended by a mr.n could bring him to trial, and if he were fouud guilty she would be presented with a ; sword, a rope and a ring. j With the sword she might cut off his bead, with the rope she might hang him or with the ring she might marry him. It Is said that the latter punish- j ment was invariably inflicted. j The wedding ring was anathema to ; the early Puritans, who regarded per- j sonal adornment as one of the many snares of Satan. In the old English marriage service it was the custom for t the bridegroom to put the ring on the j thumb of the bride, saying. "In thei name of the Father." then on the next j finger, saying, "and of the Son." and j then on the second finger, saying, "and of the Holy Ghost." finally on the third ! finger, with the word "amen." The ring was left there, because, as the Sarum rubric says, "a veiu pro-: ceeds thence to the heart." In the; modern marriage service the ring is placed at once noon the third finger.; the invocation to the Trinity being un derstood. ! Official Scoring.

A Test Far Beneath His Capacity. The youug sou of a lawyer who lives i out south has just made his first api pearance at kindergarten. The other ! day his teacher asked the children to look over the room and any who could ; count to rise and tell her the number of children in the room. The young totit h sider arose and. looking about over the heads, remarked with great aplomb: "Huh! I can't count these children, because I can count to a hundred, and there ain't that many here."

Fine Legal Quibble. Here is a queer case for an action. A man was insane and determined to throw himself out of the window of the asylum. He made several attempts and was prevented by the servants. Put In a new apartment, he tried it again. Jumped out of the window, fell on the lawn, injured himself seriously, but. strange to say. the shock cured his mental disorder. At once he sued the officers of the asylum for negligence. The plaintiff was nonsuited. There is a delightful legal qtMbble about this, for the pros and cons are many. Argonaut.

STREET STORIES Under the caption ' Bits of Display" in the Cincinnati Enquirer, the followiing is printed, relating to the feeding J of whiskey to monkeys at Glen Miller ' park: I '"I see that they are feeding the mon- ! keys in the Richmond Zoo on whis key." said the Old Fogy, as he glanced over the paper. "What do they give them whiskey , for?'" asked the Grouch I "It brightens and quickens their intellect and makes them act more like humans." replied the Old Kogy. "That's nothing." said the Grouch. "I've seen them feed humans on h'skey and it made them act like monkeys" H Wat Just Thinking. "Mary." said a man to his spouse, who was gifted with a rapidly moving tongue, "did you ever bear the story of the precious gems? -No." she replied. "What is ltr "It's a fairy legend that my grandmother told me when I was a boy," the husband continued. "It was about a woman from whose lips fell a diamond or a ruby at every word ahe spoke." "Well?" said his wife as he pause. "That's all there is of It. my dear." he replied. "But I was just thinking If such things happened nowadays I could make my fortune as a Jeweler." Leva of Trees. We find our most soothing companionship in trees among which we have lived, some of which we ourselves may have planted. We lean against them, and they never betray our trust, they shield us from the sun, and from the rain, their spring welcome Is a new birth which never loses its freshness, they lay their beautiful robes at our feet in autumn; in wiuter they stand and wait, emblems of patience and of truth, far tbey hide nothing, not even the little leaf buds which hint to ua ii f hope, the last element iu their triple i ymbolism.

Even today, vvben the emperor has the privilege of flriving through the streets like one of his subjects, it is not considered quite proper to cast a glance at him.

DRINKING FOUNTAIN FOR DOCS UNVEILED First Step Taken in Movement for Prevention of Rabies.

Inspired by erief over the killing of her pet dep. which was necessitated about one year ago on account of rabies. Mrs W. D. Foulke. of South Eighteenth street has inaugurated a campaign for the suppression of rabiea. Taking the initiative in the matter. Mrs. Foulke has had a small bronxe drinking fountain erected on th North A street side of the MorrtsonKeeves library. The fountain as unveiled Saturday afternoon by Janet Urie and Foulke Morrtsson. grandchildren of Mrs. Foulke. The upper part of the fountain was constructed so that children can use it. The lower part is for canines. Miss Margaret Mooney. a teacher iu one of the local school, accepted the fountain on behalf of the school chil dren. The first dog to drink from the low. er part of the fountain was "Bab." a big Scotch collie belonging to Mrs. Ada I.. Bernhardt, librarian. An attempt will be made to get the city to construct similar fountains In various parts of the city. In speaking of thi? matter Mrs. Bernhardt said that Mrs. Foulke had started a movement which will be beuificial to everyone. "It is a well known fact," she said, "that where dogs have plenty of water to drink there is no rabies. The lack of water brings on the disease." The Aleutian Islands.
