The first straw hat of the season appeared
on Main street on Monday afternoon. 1t
was in the middle of the street. 1t was
moving along on its ear, with every indica-
ton Of a safe and speedy trip. A man was
about five yards in the rear Of the hat. He
was popularity supposed to be the owner
thereof. He was bare headed. He was 60
ing fact. His face was scarlet in color. He
looked hot and embarrassed. Still it bowled
along. So did he. Once it almost stopped.
He slackened his speed. Then it turned
over on the other ear and shot ahead again.
Then be picked up his feet more abundant
". Men in wagons stopped their teams to
look. Merchants followed their customers
to doors to look. People on the walk dropped
every other subject and object and bent all
their attention on the chase. The hat went
under one wagon, and then passed beneath
another, and skinned across the street, and
finally brought up against tree. The bare
headed man, who had twice given up the
pursuit, and had each time declared that
he didn't care a snap for the old thing any
way, now put forth a third effort, and So
cured it. Then he sat it on his head, and
pulled it down until the brim cracked half.
way round. Then he got over q fence,
passed through yard, scaled another fence
and continued his way home by rhe same
rnostentatious route.-Danbury Ne,cs.

The neishbors marveled much where Book was

And why bis house was closed. When debtors

To make him pay ments, they were glad to find
That he WAS absent. Some thought him murdered;
Some that he was sick; some. that he'd gone
away;
But no one cared enough to IN AXE the quest,
Which might prove his suspicion true or false.
All stunned the old brick house, as If the fates
Had marked it with their ban, and pestLence
Was hidden meath its caves.

But none came forth to meet him. He inquired
Where Book was gone; but uought was known of

Save that he had, oue stormy summer dav,
Closed up his house and ne'er was seen again
After some conference the door was fore d.
And in the vaulted safe q key was found.
Which served for fur Their clue. Turning the key,
The rusty portal with harsh grating ope'd
And all drew back aghsst. So foul stencil
Never before tainted this vital air.
All that remained Of Book his whole estate
Was manifest. an object Of disgust.
His rags were there a. worthless as bic bones;
His dust was there foul with the slime of blood
And d. IS of base corruption. All he priced
Was gatht red round him in lOathsome heap,
As if he d striv'n to save it when he died.

No heir would claim it; all went to the State.

But let no mortal tempt the misels fate

THE KINGS PICTURE,

The King from the council chamber
Camo weary and sore of heat;
He called to lift the painter,
And epOke to him thus apart:
I'm sickensd OF faces ign0b!e,
HyPOcritee, c0wards and knsves;
shall shrink to their shrunken measure,
Chief slave in rea m of slaves.
Paint me . true mans p ct IRE,
Gracious, ami wise, aud good,
DOVE red with the strength of ht roes,
And the beauty of WON anhood
1t shall hang in my Utmost chamber,
That, thllher when retire,
1t may I'LL my soul With it's srandeur,
And warm 1t with sacred fire"
So the artist painted the picture,
And it hung in the palace hall
Never think go lovely
Had garnished the stately wall
The XII <, with head uncovered,
Gazed on it with raDt delight,
III it suddenly wore strange mesnng.
Batfied his Questioning sight
For the form was his Simplest cou.ts.'e.
Perfect in every imb;
But the bearing was that Of tie henchman
Who filed the fagODs for him;
The brow was priests who pOndered
His archment, early and late;
The eye WAS wandering minstreps
Who sang at the palace gate.
The lips, half sad ard his If nil th!ul
With fitting, t,emulous graf.
Were the very nps CT woman
He h i'd kissed in the market place;
But the smiles which her curves trpnsfgured
As q rose with it, simmer OF dew
Was the smile OF the wife who loved HIM
Queen EthelJ Il, god aad true.
Then: Learn, o King said the artist,
This truth that tie pic turs tolls;
That in every form of the human
Some hint of the Highest dwells;
That, scanning each living temple
Fer the place W the veil ia thin
We may gather by beautiful q M ses
The form of the god within"

Pull Down Your Vest.

But the funniest incident of the wheie
session was when Richard II. Dana was adj
dressing the convention, the joke being
his expense. He is a fat, fluffy sort of
man. with general disposition on the part
of his body to fill his clothes quite full ana
run over q little. He was seconding the
nomination Of Bristow, and assuring the
convention that no other man could carry
Massachusetts, etc. His remarks were not
we'll received, his manner was offensive.
and the convention made 10 conceal
ment of it's impotence. Finally. at
the close of one of Mr.. Dana's Sen
fences, when he paused a moment %
gather breath and inspiration, some one in
the gallery shouted "Pull down your vest
The idea Of saying such q shing to blue
blooded gentleman from Massachusetts was
funny enough in itself, but the fact that
his vest did show tendency to seceds
added infinitely to the humor Of the thing.
The hit was at once SO aCdacious and 40
pslpable that the convention fairly shouted
and the dignified gentleman from Massa
chusetts was himself visibly embarrassed
He probably goes home more fully con-
vinced than ever that Western civilization
is q failure, and that the true, the beautiful

There is = family in this town with nine
varieties of children. The hus band and
wife have each been married twice before,
and had one child at each former marriage,
which makes four children, each one having

former husbands had each been married
before, leaving a child by their former

and Mrs. Precise arose and read from her
