There's a wonderful land called Somewhere lilse
And it's (here lhat we fain would stray
Away from the woe and the care we know
In ihe place where we are today.
Ah me, in ihe beauiiful Somewhere lilse
The blossoms ihai spring from ihe sod !
The lilies so while and ihe daffodils bright,
And t he sumptuous roses that nod I
The sun shines warm over Somewhere Else,
And soft are the winds lhat wing;
And the fields are green with the velvel sheen,
And ever the glad birds sing.
In the land that is known as Somewhere Else
Are the friends lhat are friends indeed,
And the neighbors there have a kindly air,
With a smile or a tear as you need.
The people are happy in Somewhere Else,
And living is filled with cheer;
But lo, ere we fly to that place, let us try
To make Somewhere Else of Right I lere !
AT NKHITFAIJ
Night falls within the garden of ihe heart
With healing balm for every (lower that blows
And from its dewy chalice doth impart
New perfume to Ihe rose.
Deep in the shadowy dells the tailing brook
Drowses iis murmur. Water lilies cool
Sleep on the placid wave, while from some nook
A wood rai seeks ihe pool.
Startling the reeds above a sunken siar
h sets a dance in black depihs profound:
And through ihe low grass comeih from afar
The cricket's chirping sound.
The fragrance of all blooms is borne upon
The rise and falling of the fitful breeze;
And deep in golden blossoms of the sun
Sleep the gold-banded bees.
U magic Night lhat hold'st in (hy embrace
A rarer sweetness than is born of day,
Mow gladly doth the eager earth her face
Turn from the sun away !
WAITING PATIENTLY.
Constant Attendant at Play was 1
Bound to Be on Hand When '
Brrlng Wile Was Caught by
Husband. I
A problem play was being pro
duced in Chicago. One evening
it was discovered lhat a certain
man, evidently from the rural dis
trict, had attended the play six
nights in succession and always sat
well down in front. Each night
he leaned forward eagerly in his
seat and drank in the words of the
drama.
These facts were communicated
to the theater press agent, who
scented a good story. Approach
ing the interested spectator be
tween the acts, he apologized for
his intrusion and said : "Would
you mind telling me just why you
are so interested in this play ? Do
you know some member of the
cast?"
"No," said the man from the
ouilands. "Thai ain'l il. Bui
I'll tell you about il. You know
the scene in the private room of
the resiaurant, where the dark
man and the other man's wife get
up and leave by the left-hand door
iust a moment before the woman's
husband enters by the right-hand
door?"
"Yes," said the press agent ex
pectantly.
"Well," said the interested spec
tator, "some night the husband's
going to come in before ihey
leave.'1
