BEING NEIGHBORLY.

There are some people who seem to
base friendship on borrowing" as long
as you will lend TO them. Neighbors OF
that stamp illustrate the impudence that
demands without consideration, and the
familiarity that breeds contempt. We
find the following in the New York ''AIer-
camille Journal:
lie was small boy, with dirt on his
nose and faded straw hat on his head,
and feet so long unwashed that it was
hard to tell where his toe-nails were To-
Gated. He walked boldly up the steps,
pulled tho bell, and when the lady came
to the door he said.-
"Say, can you lend me your telephone
for few minutes?"
"Why, can't she gasped out
"We'll bring it back in half an hour. ="
But 1 can't lend it, child. You don't
seem to know what telephone is. Who
are you?"
"We live around the corner-just
moved in, and we want TO be neighborly.

shovel, but your boy wouldn't lend 'em,
and our hired girl has been over to bor-
row tea and sugar and couldn't get any.
We kinder thought we might borrow
your telephone or something and ma
would bring it back and get chance to
see your style and ask you to run right
in with your old clothes on"

RAPID TRANSIT.

Uncle Nose owns several small shan

Old Nose met Jim Webster.

Against the mullioned windows of

"Well, it was owing to the way in
which Mr.. Stevens insisted on kissing
her in Passions Slave Miss Carlyon's
husband, Mr.. Melville, is exceedingly
Jealous, and he insisted that hereafter
his wife should be kissed ON the eur or
behind it, instead of on the lips, and out
of this fuss the trouble began which end

Miss Carlyop, whose name of the stage
is Mrs Melville, was found at the South
ern Hotel. She is a particularly pretty
little lady, with the goldest Of golden
hair, dark eyebrows and smile that
would melt WAX. Likewise she observes
the Biblical maxim: If your foot is
pretty, show it."
"Of course have left Mr.. Stevens"
said she, "but it was because 1 did not
like him or that exceedingly fat melo-
drama, Passion Slave"
"And then it was not question of
kissing?"
81 must admit that I did not like the
way hekissed me. You see, Mr.. Stevens
always used the Henry W kiss, and it
was decidedly unpleasant, as he was
neither a husband, a relation or a lover" I"
THAT is kiss that has not reached us
yet?"
"Oh, it's the kiss that Rignold uses in
Henry " AS he does it it is not so
bad, but Mr.. Stevens is not the actor
that Rigr old is and the consequence is
that every time be uses the kiss the whole
house filters and there is suggestion
of indelicacy about it that is very annoy

prude, for am not. l delight in love

THE MEANING OF BONANZA.

The Stock Report inquiries the mean
ing of the word bonanza" 1t is q Span
ish nautical term, meaning primarily a
fair and hence a favoring wind, but is
employed by the Mexican miners to des-
ignate the period when they are in good
ore, or in bonanza, in contradistiuetion
to in borasea, or poor ground. 1t has
been borrowed by our miners and given
more comprehensive significance, and,
like many other words taken from for
eign languages, has come into popular
use to designate in a vague and general
way any big thing or lucky stroke oi
fortune.

IN AN OLD BOOK.



Pressed between the pages
Ofan ancient time. worn book,
found faded rose bud,
Laid where chauced TO look;
Aud silently and reverently
l held it in nay hand,
And wondered if its meaning
My heart could understand.
On a fragrant, leafy bush
Once this flower did grow;
It was sweet and full of scent,
Many years ago;
Some one must have culled it,
Dead now many year;
Some one must have loved IL,
And placed it here.
Perhaps some faltering lover,
Who longed his tale to tell,
Once placed il in lady's hand,
A sign he loved her well.
Mayhap her smile of pleasure,
AS she pinned it on her breast
Gave to that bashful lover
The strength to tell the rest.
And she, with fair head dropping,
In modest, tender way,
Caressed the little flower
And wore it all the day;
And when its petals faded,
She took it from her breast,
And in this ancient volume
The much loved blossom pressed.
And here it blooms again,
Though dead to careless eye
The reverent know it holds
Some tender memory
Still comes there fragrant perfume
Forth from its shrivelled heart,
AS if the withered rose. bud
Could some sweet tale imrart.

ST. Louis, Nov. S.-John j. O'Neil. Dem
ocrat, elected to congress in the Eighth
district of this city by a plurality of about
1,600. The Ninth district still undecided
as to the long term, but Republicans claim
the election of DR.. j. H. Mclean for both
terms. The successful candidates on the
Democratic city ticket have pluralities
ranging from about 100 to 5000, and the
two Republicans elected have pluralities of
$50 and 692 respectively.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. S.-A revised table of
the returns in the Ninth district gives
Broadhead a majority of 70 for the long
term, and Mclean a majority of 157 for
the short term. These figures may be
changed by the official vote, and give Nc
Lean the long as we'll as the short term.
Nothing new from the Thirteenth district,
which is the only other pne in the state
about which there is any doubt. The
Democrats claim the election of Judge

very strongly combated.

1864, scattering, 1914. Thirty-three
towns to hear from gave a majority against
Bell in 1880 of 45O, which, if returned in
the same ratio, will give Hale COL majori-
ty. The senate will stand nineteen Re-
publicans and nine Democrats. There
will be more than 60 Republican majority
IN the house of representatives. The,
council will stand four Republicans and
one Democrat. Both Republican candi-
dates for congress are elected by very
large majority. The present outlook is
that the Republicans elected the railroad
commissioner by 1000 majority.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. S.-Revised and
correct returns of 225 towns give Hale 37,-
$40; Edgerly 36,174; scattering 921. Of
the remaining towns majorities in five
have been received which, with the COVER
nor's vote of 1880 and the remaining six
towns give Edgerly ITO majority, which.
makes Hale's majority 257. This majority
probably cannot be reduced below 25O,and
may reach 800. The senate stands II Re-
publicans; 4 Democrats. One district
makes no choice and two districts are in
doubt. The Republicans will have about
sixty five majority and four of the five
counsellors. Haynes and Ray, Republican
candidates for congress, have about 1000,
