''rhere is many a rose in the path OF life,
II we would but stop to take 4,
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make It.
There is many a gem OF rarest worth
Which we pass In idle pleasure;
That Is richer than the jeweled crown,
or the misers boarded treasure"

"Nothing like the amount of courage
it takes to run into debt and meet greedy
creditors on every hand" replied Mrs.
Royal, emphatically.
Her friend was positive "the bow was
drawn at a venture" Nevertheless,
she turned her face square toward the
window to hide the flame blazing out
on her cheeks-the arrow had struck
home. Although she hurried her de-
parture the tell-tale color still burned
as she passed through the vine-entang-
led gate and out upon the street.
Seated in passcnger-car and riding
homeward she felt herself "a captive,
bound and double-ironed." Then, con-
Guiding it couldn't be helped, threw of
the impression, and began wondering
how she would have her silk dress made,
and whether or not to have old gold
color in the new carpets. She rather
thought old gold was going down.
Meanwhile, Alec Royal sat in her
cozy sewing-room, arranging rustic
Christmas ornament, with real bird 8
nest swinging in the centre.
II can't imagine what ails Ara" she
remarked to her husband, on his return
that night. Judging from all ever

like sun-burnished cloud over her girl

The situation of the telegraph strike re-
mains about the same, both the compan-
les and the strikers claiming to be gaining
the advantage In Chicago it is said that
the strikers have been cutting the wires
and otherwise disarranging matters, to the
serious annoyance Of the company In
Pennsylvania nearly all the inemen have
joined the strike, and non union operators
at Washington declare that they too will
join If matters are not settled ere long.
Complaints are made from various parts
of New England of an almost entire shut
ting off from the rest OF the world, and the
Memphis cotton exchange is getting angry
over the delay in getting market quota
tions. The Baltimore & Ohio declare
they will make no further concession to
the strikers, and the Western Union
maintains profound silence as to it's pur-
poses, meanwhile making every effort 70
get things into running order. In gener-
al, people are getting tired and impatient
and think that something ought to be
done in the matter.

An excursion train behind time ran into a

Petitions are being circulated through

taxpayers to be compelled to do business
with the office at Omaha-so far distant.

The cable brings the news of q terri

The cable brings the news of a terrible
earthquake, which occurred on Saturday,
involving the toyn of Cassamiccola, near
Naples, in total destruction and causing
terrible damage to several of the neigh
boring villages. Private cables estimate
the loss of lite at 1900, while the num-
Der Of injured is over 1000. The disas-
ter is said to have occurred between 9 and
10 in the evening, the time when larger
part OF the people were at the theaters, a
fact which naturally added to the appalling
death list.

A HOUs s2HOLD FAIRY.

Mrs. Araminta Dykandyke, calling on
her school-friend for the first time since
she became Mrs. Royal, surveyed her
surroundings, curiously, critically. while
awaiting the little lady's appearance.
The longer she gazed upon what she

ALICE Brown, with her floating hair and
wild-rose bloom, should have come to
this! She, plain as she was, poor as she
still imagined herself to be, had no
doubt drawn much higher prize in the
matrimonial lottery.

the matter with Mrs. Araminta Dykan-
dyke, as shall shortly be proven, and
nothing at all the matter with the apart

Man Grows Two Inches in a Night

Man Grows Two Inches IN a Night.
It is asserted by DR.. Merkel that =
persons height after a nights rest, meas
ured before rising from bed, is two inch
es greater than in the evening, measur-
ed standing. On rising, a sudden short
ening takes place at the joints of the
legs. The sinking at the ankle is one
third of an inch; at the knee, one-twelfth
to one-eighth of an inch; at the hip, two
fifths of an inch. The contraction in
height is continued through the day by
gradual yielding of the arches of the feet
and of the discs of the spine.
