races are now over for the season. Prob
ably Columba's men review their experience
with the least satisfaction. 1t certainly has
been unfortunate, and public opinion, so far ms
it has been concerned about the matter has
been against them. A strong statement IN
their favor by well-known graduate OF Co

impression. 1t makes Harvard's part In the
disagreement at New-London appear In dis

There is a difference Of opinion just now
concerning the freight-handlers' strike. Inc
railway officers say that it is over; that they
have q plenty of men to handle all the freight
sent to them. The men declare that "the
situation is unchanged" meaning, apparently,
that they still are demanding an increase III
wages, which the railways will not grant The
truth seems to be that both sides are inactive
Owing TO the decrease in business consequent
upon so long O holiday, the railroads, with
their new men, can easily move all the goods
sent to them; but if there was great rush oil
freight they would be embarrassed Every DAY
adds to their advantage, while the men Iose'
All over the country there is the same lull III
the strikes. At Pittsburg there is little change
in the situation, but the iron workers chances
of n victory over their old employers are not
bright. Meanwhile the crop reports are excel
lent, and lower prices for food should soon
follow: A natural end to all these labor
troubles may therefore be reached before long.
Formerly it was simply good luck when
ANYBODY struck OIL but now it seems to be
science. The discoveries just made IN the
Cherry Grove District at Garfield, Penn.'
were due to the knowledge OF Landsrath.
He had made thorough study OF the geo.
logical formation of the country, and was sure
that oil would be found near certain place.
The wells that were sunk proved that he was
right. 1t is a pity that he will reap 50 little
profit from his discoveries He has at least
reputation enough to set himself up as an ex-
pert. The whole history of the oil trade is
full of romantic and interesting details, from
1859, when petroleum was sold by the Dot'ie
as a sure cure for almost all the ailments OF man
and beast, until to-day, when it is the basis OF
speculation involving millions of dollars. we
publish this morning another letter from the
oil regions. Like the two others which have
preceded it, it is exceptionally entertaining
reading. Consider what must be the feelings
of the old farmer who once refused $7OO,ooO
for his farm and now is supported by his
daughter, who teaches school, 1t is sometimes
more endurablc to have lost fortune than 10
have missed the chance of making one.

President Arihur's Story.

President Arthur told a delightful
story the other day of the way in which
his father, the Rev. DIR. Arthur, dealt
with an uncomfortable deacon. While
DR.. Arthur was presiding over the
Baptist church in West Troy his choir
drawled out a hymn with variations
which did not please him. 1t ended at
last; and the good doctor rising in the
pulpit preached two hours and forty
minutes, until his head deacon, grow
ing impatient, consulted his watch.
"keep your watch in your pocket, Dea-
con JONES'" cried the preacher; "you
had long sing and now l am going to
preach till | get through."-[New York

Building a Fountain.

"My DEAR" said Mr.. Spoopendyke,
as he planted the nozzle of the street
sprinkler and braced it with brick so it
would stand straight up, "my dear that
makes considerable of fountain.
wish l had thought of it before"
"Upon my word" giggled Mrs.
Spoopendyke. "Why, you are really
an inventor. That's the best fount
ever saw, but how are You going to
take it DOWN." and Mrs Spoopendyke
contemplated the fountain With consid-
cradle misgiving.

Did You suppose that. water intended
to squirt up in the air and wait for me
to bring it down on step ladder? Got
some kind of notion that l was going
to tie rope around that water and haul
it down, hadn't ye? Well Pm not, and
l amt going to offer it any chromos to
come down eitherW And Mr.. Spoop-
endyke seated himself on the lower step
and eyed his fountain with a great deal
of satisfaction.
"How long are you going to let it
squirt?" asked Mrs Spoopendyke, anx-
ious to have the trouble begin that it
might be over the sooner.

piled Mr.. Spoopendyke, measuring the
higth of the stream with his eye and
chuckling to himself. "That's about as
long as the pressure will permit, and !
thought I'd let it go that far before /
hitched it up" and Mr.. Spoopendyke
shook all over as the full strength of
his joke impressed itself upon him.
Mrs. Spoopendyke watched the play
of the water in silence.
"P'raps You think l can't get that
fountain apart without getting wet"
said Mr.. Spoopendyke at length "May-
be you have imbibed the idea that when
turn the water off Pm going to be
soaked. Well Pm not. The head that
invented this fountain knows how
to keep itself dry" and Mr.. Spoopen-
dyke got up and walked around his
prize, his face beaming with smiles.
The water was falling in perfect
shower upon the key-box, and in the
afternoon sun the fountain looked re-
markably pretty.
Mrs. Spoopendyke made no response,
but patiently awaited developments.
"Now bring me the umbrella" said
Mr.. Spoopendyke, preparing himself
for the closing triumph. Bring me
forth the fiery untamed umbrella" ard
as Mrs. Spoopendyke handed it to him,
he raised 1t, picked up his key, and
approached the stream. The umbrella
protected him from the down pour, but

kissing shaft struck under the gingham,

Two Sweet Girls.

Two girl friends sat together on the
sofa with their arms around each 9TH
er's waists. The head of one reposed
upon the shoulder of the other.
"You tell me my faults and l will
tell you yours" said Mabel, slipping a
caramel into her rosy mouth.
"You haven't fault in the world"

"That's too sweet" murmured Ma
bel, referring to her friend and not to
the candy. "I know Pm Just full Of

"Well, dear, since you ask me-now
mind you are TO tell me all of mine.

"Proud! h'm-I am sure don't
know how any one can call me

swell, dear, you asked me to tell
you your greatest fault, now you tell
me mine; know I've got one, you

"Oh, l suppose we all have faults
and if must tell yours, it is that you

Katie, regardless of her syntax; well l

How q Woman Swears.

There Is in the sudden and energetic
slamming of the door at the conclusion
of debate forcible emphasis which
punctuatcs argument and clinches as
with the pounding of fist the word
which has been spoken. A shrewd
writer calls the slamming of the door
in this style "wooden OATH" The de.
finition is we'll chosen one. The person
who thus violently closes the door is
laporing under an accumulation of pent
up evaporation which, if she were a
man, would find its way out IN a tor
rent of harsh expressions uttered with
angry infections. A man does not
generally close the door with bang to
indicate that he is in state of wrath
fulness neither does woman swear.
The condensed volume of eloquent ex-
preston which is packed into the petu.
liant closing of the door would, if ex-
panded, make several large pages of
type, most of which would be interjec-
tions and exclamation points. When
the door slams relief follows, just as
after the explosion OF steam boiler.
The pressure is of. There is an oppor-
tunity for breathing spell.

it, that is as impossible as to hold water
in an ordinary sieve. 1t must be adj
mitted that the slamming of tho door
as an argument is not graceful or lady
like. Still, there are occasions when
opinions must be expressed, and even
anger and contempt must have their
say. Sometimes the door-slamming is
all there is OF argument or debate. The
object Of contempt or scorn happens to
approach the door with view either
OF entering or passing by. Its sudden
closing in his face is an intimation that
ii he values his peace of mind he will
ito well 10 pass by. In sucn casrs, nv

But as he spoke he suddenly put his
hand to his side. 81 am shotW he
gasped, family.
1t was true. A stray bullet had
struck him in the side, and Col. Terry
caught him as he rceled in his saddle,
and rode with him to the field hospital.
When the surgeon examined his
wound he shook his head doubtiully.
III know a nurse worth twenty doc
tors" whispered Picton with a smile.
"Terry, can't you fetch her TO me"
Through the night the colonel stayed
with him. Once he awakened and re-
peated the question he had asked just
before he was shot.
81 saw her, yes, the colonel answer
ed huskily. "She sent you some flow
ers."
The blue eyes lighted up with ten.
der glow and Picton held out his hand.
Silently Col. Terry took from his
breast pocket tho withored flowers; q
spray of ivy and half opened white
rose, and laid them in the outstretched
hand.
Then the wounded man slept, but in
couple OF hours he awoke much
worse, and the surgeon in his rounds
told the bronzed watcher that the end
was very near.

head to catch the faint accents. "Pm

loves me, you know and I-oh, Terry

ling"
For few moments the colonel could
not answer. Then choking back a sob,
he said, slowly and distinctly:
"Charley, Alice is waiting for you.
You are not leaving her, but going to
see her."
A bewildered, troubled look came into
the wlstful blue eyes.
"Don't you understand me, Charley
She is dead. We buried her there in

He understood now, and smile of
relief fitted across his pale lips. "Dear
girl" he murmured. "I am SO glad
she will not have this grief to bear"
Then he slept again, and the hours
passed OH until the eastern sky bright
ened with the solemn dawn light.
"Terry" The word was but the
faintest whisper, but the watcher in.
stantly bent his head to listen.
"It is morning." came the faint, gasp
ing accents, and again the white lids
dropped over the blue eyes. Five
ten minutes .passed..- Then. Col. Terry

covered the still white face, and turned
away.

The MelOn-Patch.

The twinkling stars. like drops of gold,
Were shuddering IN the skies,
The evening breeze its scent unrolled.
And from the dry, dark, sleepy mold,
Came the cricke's trilling cries.
A stiffness hung DER the melon patch
A stifl, stark, silent still;
And little boy, whose after-hatch
Betrayed a wealth of rent and thatch,
Crept softly up the hill.
The very dcwdrops seemed to hang
In wondering suspense
The cricket's voice no longer rang,
As up the hill that urchin sprang,
And waited DER the fence.
Across the fence the urchin Hops
Once more the criokets din
Leaps up to meet the golden drops.
Where is that boy? The bulldogs chops
