A GIRLS FIRST LOVE.

Others may come after him ltbers
usually do come after him, for seldom Is
it that girl marries her first love--but
to none does she ever attach that strange
intangible interest, sacred with neve.
expressed pathos, which attaches to her
first sweetheart. Her memory Of him
is like faint, delicate perfume which
still clings about the first wild rose of
Summer that he gave her during the
first tete-a-tcte walk that they ever took
together in the woods. How well she
remembers it all 1t was the first Sum
mer after she left school. IT was a lit
tie out-of-thc-way Summer resort where
she was staying with party of friends,
and where he CHANGED to come, too,
and, after meeting her, fingered
She was little futtcred to find her
self walking alone with him, quite by
accident, of course, and. both tried to
keep lively and natural conversation,
and as consequence it was perfectly
absurd, somewhat constrained and alto
gether fragramentary.
Then he saw this rose, the only one
upon bush full of buds that grew close
to the moss-grown trunk Of fallen tree
just over the source of tiny stream of
water that wound, like a tangled thread,
in and out among the trees. He gath
cred and gave it to her, with half shy,
half laughing look--so transparentIy I'M
conscious in its endeavor to be conscious
and with remark intended to be spright-

a smile, with swift up-lools from eyes
that were busily playing hide-and-seek
under the becoming shelter oflong lashes.
She tucked it in at the waistband Of
her dress, just as she would have done
any other rose, but how careful she was

leaves
He does not know-he will never

her room, with the door locked, she
drew it carefully from her belt and
kissed it daintily, though with depressed
passion, before she exalted it to the po-
sition Of honor in her pet vase, bit of
just big enough to. hold this
one flower fifty, and in honor of it filled
carefully with clear cold water by her
own pretty fresh fingers, as rosily tip
ped as those Of Aurora in the act of
drawing aside the curtains Of the dawn.
What was the unspoken compact be-
tween them that caused her, standing
before her glass in her simple white
dress that same evening, to pose tho
flower shyly among the Furnished waves
of her hair.

thanked her? VIII she ever forget the
night on which she wore it? Was there

The Prompt Juror.


We heard His Honor Judge Gibson
on Tuesday tell an amusing story Of the
way juror went for conviction. lie
says he was trying-a murder case few
years ago down in ono of the wire-grass
counties, and experienced great difficult
ty in getting jury; that eleven jurors
had been sworn in and in tho next
panel that was brought in was small,
loan, lank cadaverous-looking fellow who
had on one shoe, his pants were nearly
above his knees. his shirt open both
front and back and the aforesaid trousers
were held up by single suspcnder. The
solicitor proceeded 10 ask the usual qnes-i
tons in such cases as follows: fta
"Have you. from having seen the
crime committed, or heard any of the
testimony delivered under
and expressed any opin
or innocence of

Answer--Hit air.
Fourth question Are you consci,n-
tiously opposed to capital punishment !?
Answer isn't
The State did not like the juror much,
but i being late and jurors scarce he
was put upon the prisoner in the usual
manner, the solicitor saying: Juror,
look upon tho prisoner" aud when this
command was given he bent over him,
scanning him from head to foot The
juror looked the prisoner firmly in the
face, and then turning to the Judge said,
in firm, solemn voice, eyes, Judge,
| think he's guilty"

a LUDIcRoUs CENTENNIAL Incident
One of the turnstiles at the centennial
grounds was the scene Of ludicrous in
cident on Tuesday. A fat boy, fourteen
years old, mot Barnum's, but home
specimen from Illinois,) visited the cen
tennial and upon reaching the usual places
Of entrance found it not only impossible
to pass through any Of the stiles, but
even uncomfortable to stand in the mar
row alleyway leading to the automatic
contrivance. The gatekeepers were pow
erless to render assistance or advice.
Their orders were to permit nobody to
pass into the grounds except through
the stile, and yet this applicant was in
the most literal sense "body." What
was to be done ? The boy had his fifty cent
piece in his hand and demanded admis-
sion. The department Of admissions
was applied 10, hurried consultation
was held, and as a last resort the heavy
youth was admitted through the wagon
gate.

For her; no. For every girl who has
yet to meet her first lover yes. There
will be just one such for each girl, but
never another.
Was it the earth she trod on? How
beautiful everything was AS if the
world was just new-made The lights,
the music, the gay chatter, bright smiles,
ringing laughter? And when she danced
with him she seemed to have wings to
her feet. Then at last they were alone
together in the cool fragrant dewy dark
ness outside and to be together, to be
arm in arm, to hear each others voices
that was all they cared for There was
no other world for them that night
They were separated from our common
earth by such a swift-fowing tide of
deep but unspolcn delight. Unspoken
because young affection is too sacred for
words. First love is born dumb, and
learns speech but slowly. Deep down
in each heart was the rapturcd con
scousness of loving and of being be-
loved by the other, which is worth
lifetime of Il love youw
1t brimmed each heart with a suliicing
delight, even as flower cup is brimmed
with dew. The sun will drink the dew
up by and by, even as the world will
dry up this fountain of innocent glad
ness. But the dew has been in the
flower cup and in the girls heart. First
love, whose memory never departs.
The wild rose in her hair was with
cred when she again stood before her
glass, with flushed cheeks aud a new
brightness in her eyes But she laid it
as carefully as a young mother might
lay her first born in the cradlc-be between
two pages of Tcnnyson, upon a poem
that he had read to her the day before
1t rests there still
To careless observer, what matters
a worn copy of Tennyson with with
cred wild rose pressed between the
leaves?
But to her it is all that is left. may be,
of the purest and terderest romance Of
girls life it is the first gift of her first
lover /!

How SHE USED THE MOWER OF
course, any great lummux of man can
push a lawn mower up and down and
around, and he can nbbc off the grass
after a fashion; but when it comes down
to artistic work, pass the mower over to
a young lady At noon yesterday
lassie of eighteen put a mower at work
on a strip of grass on Lodyurd street, and
before she was half through over thirty
men and boys were leaning against The
fence and applauding. The hrst few
feet were cut on the bins, leaving
strip along the curbstone as fringe
On thesother side Of the walk she started
out TO tuck and ruiile, but finally cut
most Of the grass on the gore and finish
ed up with deep houncc along the
street. Over by the fence she hemmod
up narrow strip, bound it around with
a clean cut, and then performed some of
the incest plaiting ever seen, leaving
enough tall grass along the fenceboard
to serve as an overskirt to the lawn. The
boys thought there ought to be more
padding around the horseback, but she
was busy falling over the handle Of the
mower jast then and linped into tho
house without taking their advice

A VALUABLE REcIpT-B Book - Every
housekeeper should have her own re-
ccipt-book IA book of her own creation,
of gradual growth and proved excel
lencc, and We propose to show our lady
readers how to make one. In the first
place buy blank book, and write your
name and date on the first leaf. Divide
the book into as mnny different depart
ments as you wish, heading each page
with the department to which it belongs,
as follows: Receipts for cleaning re-
ceipts for soups; receipts for cooking
meats; receipts for cake, so on through
family cooking. Then comes cooking
for the sick, care of = sick, and all the
various things tbp, re part of woman's
duty, and for which unfortunately there
is no school but experience. Number
your pages if they are not numbered in
the beginning and make an index leaving
blank spaces in the index to correspond
with blank pages between departments
which you do not expect to Gil immdi-
ately. Write down under these differ
ent heads every receipt which you have
actually tried, or the result Of which
you have seen in the houses Of your
friends, and enter the page in the
index.
