OPENING THE CAR WINDOW.

| darlington IIawkeye.] -. ~
Maybe man feels happy and proud
and fiattered and envied and blessed
among men when he sees pretty girl
trying to raise n window on u railway
car, and he jumps and gets in ahead of
the other boys and says ;-"Allow me?'
oh, so courteously. And she says: ooh,
if you please; ] would be so glad"
And the other male passengers turn
green with envy, and he leans over the
back of the seat and tackles tho win
dow in a knowing way with one hand,
and If peradventure he may toss it
airily with u simple turn of the wrist,
but it kinds of holds on and he takes it
in both hands, but sort of doesn't let
60 to any alarming extent, then he
pounds it with his fist, but it only seems
to settle a "leetle closer into place."
and then he comes around and she gets
out OF the seat to give him a fair chance,
and he grapples that window and bows
up his back and tugs and pulls and
sweats and grunts and strains, and his
hat falls Off and his suspender buttons
fetch loose, and his vest buckle parts
and his face gets red and his feet slip
and people laugh, and irreverent young
men in remote seats grunt and groan
every time he lifts and cry out: "Now,
then, all together" as if in mockery,
and he bursts his collar ut the forward
button, and the pretty young lady,
vexed at having been so conspicuous,
says tn her iciest:: manner, "Oh,
never mind thank you, it doesn't
make any difference" and then calmly
goes away and sits down in another
seat, and that wearied man gathers
himself together and reads II book up
side down. Oh, doesn't he feel good,
just? Maybe he isn't happy, but if you
| think he isn't, don't be fool enough to
extend any of your sympathy. He
doesn't want 1t.

local celebrities bad favored the COM

instrumental, and then the musical
genius from Boston was with great
difficulty prevailed upon to play a
piece upon the piano. He seated him

And with sweet satisfaction write:

THE POLE FIEND.

III il
By the always frozen sea.
In the hand OF endless snow,
Is the Pole Fiend glad and free,
With his victims lying low.
He has lured them on and on,
BY the mystic polar spell,
Till II: last their cruise is done,
And he has them cOffincd we'll.
From tall and icy crag,
In the furthest frozen zone,
He can float his steel-blut flag
From his unpollnted throne.
And he laughs in horrid glee,
As he sees the dead below,
BY the always frozen sea,
In the land of endless SNOW.
Is the North Pole nearer yet,
For the dead men lying there
Is the pathway less beset,
Or the sky or sea more fair? :?
We have paid fearful price
For ;n almost worthless gain
In the land of ancient ice
And the Pole Fiend's dark domain
We may let him keep his throne
II w3s never worth the cost
OF the precious ones, our own,
Who are last among the lost.

Hope Ahead.

A committee of stockholders, who
waited upon the superintendent Of
California mine in days gone by TO ask
why in blazes the said mine hadn't
panned out anything but assessments,
we're graciously received, invited TO bs
seated, and the official explained
Gentlemen, you are all aware OF the
fact that we had seal cely begun work
when the mouth OF our mine was blocked
by landslide. That put us back o
month.
They n lded their remembrance.
"Then we had just got in ehape to
take out 1000 tons of ore, worth $2, 900
per ton, when the mine caved in. You
recall it?"
They did.
"Once more we bent ourselves to the
burden OF reaping $500 for every ten in
vested when the mine was flooded by
subterranean river"
That was true also.
"Then we had just got the water out
when we discovered that our mine was
located on another mans claim. We
had him shot to prevent trouble, and
once more we were about to declare divi-
dend Of 200 per cent. when the dead mans
heirs put in an appearance. There were
three OF them. We chased one over the
range, had another hung by thevigilance
committee, and l am happy to inform
you that | have four men out after the
other, and am every hour expecting to
hear that he has tumbled off cliff.
Gentlemen, there is hope ahead-golden
hope. Please come up and drink with
me after which there will be another
assessment OF 10 per cent - Val
