THE 8INQER OF ONE SONG. He sang one song and died no more but that; A single song and carelessly complete. He would not bind and thrash his chance-grown wheat, Nor bring his wild fruit to the common vat. To store the acid rinsings, thin and flat. Squeezed from the press or trodden under feet, A few slow beads, blood-red and honey-sweet, Oozed from the grape, which burst and split its fat. But Time, who soonest drops the heaviest things That weigh his pack, will carry diamonds long, So, through the poet's orchestra, which weaves One music from a thousand straps and strings, Pieces the note of that immortal song: "High over all the lonely bugle grieves." Henry A. Beers. CELEBRATED BIRTHDAY. The Ticknor club celebrated its twentyfourth birthday anniversary Monday afternoon with a thmble party given at the home of Mrs. John B. Dougan in North Tenth street. The affair was also in the nature of an informal reception. The club was organized in eighteen eighty-nine and has bad the same president ever since. Tho house was beautifully decorated throughout with jonquil s. The flowers were sent by Mrs. Hield, of New London, Connecticut, a former member of the club. In the receiving line were Mrs. Dougan, Mrs. Gilbert Dunham, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Harry Mather, Mrs. Leonard Lemon, and Mrs. D. L. Mather. Mrs. Mather acted as president of the club in the absence of Mrs. Dennis. Several Interesting letters were read from nonresident members of the club. These were much appreciated by the membership. Mrs. Fred Lemon gave an impersonation of a "perfectly good cook." A valentine story, which by the way was very pretty, was told by Mrs. E. B. Grosvenor. Several numbers were played on the victrola. A part of the afternoon was spent at needlework. The guests for the afternoon were Mrs. James Stanley of Indianapolis, and Mrs. H. T. Lemon of Centerville. ,A luncheon was served late in the afternoon. Those present were Mrs. J. M. Cates, Mrs. Earl Coate, Mrs. E. B. Clements, Mrs. F. O. Chambers, Mrs. John B. Dougan, Mrs. Gilbert T. Dunham, Mrs. E. B. Grosvenor, Mrs. Mary ) Grant, Mrs. I. M. Hughes, Mrs. L. T. Lemon, Mrs. D. LrMather, Mrs. Harry .Mather, Miss Mary Mather, Mrs. Fred .Lemon, Mrs. Fred Miller, Mrs. R. M. Rea, Mrs. J. E. Weller, Mrs. J. M. Wampler, Mrs.. Charles Bond, Mrs. Clara Malsby, Mrs. A. H. Kelsey, Mrs. I Frank Land, Mrs. H. T. Lemon and Mrs. J M. Thurston. J. . , KNOW8 STATISTICS, BUT NOT WOMEN. , Edward Atkinson ,who figures down to the most elusive fractions, has carefully estimated that a woman may 'dress herself well on sixty dollars a year. Atkinson may know statistics, ibut he doesn't know women. He is w magician with most figures but he -has not mastered the mysteries of female figures. A magazine writer who1 claims to (have carefully gathered his facts from jrobe makers and milliners and all tother available sources of information '.estimates that six thousand women of jlCw York spend not less than forty million dollars or an average of six rtbocaand dollars each, on their yearly wardrobes. It these figures are correct, then Revs (nan one per cent of the women f New York apend on their clothes a sum greater than is devoted to the city's gigantic school system and near ly forty per oent ot the entire municipal bugdet. Afkmson might say that these six Itbomand dollar a year dressers do not nu well. They tarn themselves into modistes and milliners' ixntnikrns. They are animated showcases of lace and Jewels. One of the agencies of the orpnlent perhaps is that, though lie may own twenty gowns, she can not wear but one. Humble Mary Ann radiant in her new dimity, for which she has saved months and months, into every little line of which is fitted healthful cheer land into every seam is sewed self-re-spect. has Just as much pride and comfort, and excites honester admiration In wholesome hearts, than does the gorgeously gowned lady who makes a mere manikin and showcase of her self. Vanity has virtues. It prevents the rich from being misers, a misery to themselves and a menace to business. It Is a good thing that people who have more money than they know what to do with should spend it and let it get into the hands of those who have more need than money. The selfishness of the luxurious thus becomes a fountain of good a species of automatic altruism. DANCE WEDNESDAY. What promises to be a pleasant social event for the week is the dance which will be given Wednesday evening by the members of the LaGunda club. The committee in charge of the affair Is composed of Mr. Ralph Kittle, Mr. Neil Bly, Mr. Herbert Bradley and Mr. George Weaver. ' PARTY SATURDAY.

Can't Get Away From It When You Buy Coffee, You Buy Caffeine and caffeine is the subtle but vicious drug in coffee that irritates the heart, impairs digestion and upsets the nerves. Each cup contains from 1 JJ to 3 grains of this habit-forming, health-destroying drug. So far as known no coffee is sold today (however processed or prepared) that is free from caffeine. If coffee is "getting;" you, and if you wish to leave the headache, biliousness, indigestion and nervousness of coffee-drinking behind, the safe and easy way is to quit coffee and use

There ain't no use for the stone." The old gentleman calmly surveyed the device, and with a severely reproachful aspect remarked to his exulting son: "Johannes, your fader, your grandfader and your great-grandfader all went to de mill wld de stone In one end of de bag nnd de grist in de odder.
