it that the passengers couldn't quite

on the outrage or describing the old

they all agreed, however, that it was
what they called IA "damshame,n and
that it never should be condOned, Then

A Very Natural Mistake.
[From the Rockland Courier.l

A young man from one of the back
towns came in to buy present for his
girl last week. His wondering gaze be-
ing fixed by the gorgeous display in Il
dry goods window, he entered the store
and bashfully stopped in front of a
yonng lady behind the counter.
"HOw much are thoseP" he inquired,
pointing to pair of handsomely
wrought, nickle-plated garters in the
window.
Seventy cents" replied the
young lady, sweetly, handing out the
articles in question, blushing slightly.

'Why-I-I-"s stammered the young
lady, the blush growing deeper.
"They seem sorter big like" contin-

standing in dumb amazement, holding
in his hands what he supposed to be a

one OF the men clerks came and ex-

Sammy's watch, too; but he had no
idea of getting it back in that way. He
only made signs to the nevy where the

The Brown, Blue and Gray.

BY H. c. PARSONS.
The watchers were weary, and train time was
nigh,
There was protest and pleading, and fearful good
bye,
We laid the three gently upon the white bed,
And tenderly pillowed each sorrowful head.
The lips were all silent, and soft were the sighs
The lashes were hiding the beautiful eyes;
On the right lay the dark waves that rippled with
gold,
On the left flowed the silver that never told,
And the wing of the raven between.
The brown eyes said, closing-"I hope you'll be
late;"
The blue eyes yet trembled-"How long can you
wait 2"
The gray dark with pleading, were closing in
prayer;
The hush of His angel was stiIling the air.
The brown hands lay crossed and pressed in their
place;
The white hands lay lost in the fold of the lace;
In velvet and dmples the hand that was stirred;
The breath OF the sleepers all that heard,
And the shrek of the il coming train.

The lips that pouting turned to them thrice.

And into he night on the outgoing train

All my heart strings were caught by the motion

For wherever l wait and wherever 1 roam
They are driving on. they are drawing me
