Better Be Careful.

The Hon. Grover Cleveland seems to have
degenerated into a pessimist and a croaker.
If Mr. Cleveland is not careful he will be-
come tiresome. --Kansas City Journal.

TENNYSON TO THE QUEEN

In the dedication of the "Idylis of the
King" to the memory of the Prince Con-
sort, Tennyson, in 1862, expressed his sym-
pathy for the Queen and her people in these
verses:

Break not, O woman's heart, but still en-
dure
Break not, for thou art Royal, but endure,
Remembering all the beauty of that star
Which shone so close beside Thee that ye
made
One light together, but has past and leaves
The crown a lonely splendor.
