A CITIZENS DUTY.
The Man Who Prepared 10 Discharge 1t to
the Fullest Extent.

The Man Who Prepared TO Discharge 1t to
the Fullest Extent.
Robert J. Burdette.
1 knew a man once who told me he had
been young and was old.
l believed him. If he had told me that he
had been old and was young l should have
called for the papers on the spot
He said he had voted at every election in
our town during the past quarter of a CEN
fury. In all that time he had never known
a man to be elected for whom he voted. 1t
got to be so that his vote was equivalent to
defeat.
Sometimes candidate would pay him $40
to vote for the other man.
But his heart always failed him when he
got to the polls; he had an abiding faith that
his luck was going to turn that year, he
couldn't find it in his heart to vote against
his benefactor, and so he would vote for him,
and beat him anywhere from ten to five
thousand votes.
He Topped in politics every few years,
but he never struck it. He beat his own
side every time. His party, whichever it
happened to be, tried TO buy him off or
ship him out of the country. But he was a
true citizen, and he did his duty. He voted
every time, with disastrous effect.
Last year at the election for councilman
there were five candidates in his ward, two
regulars and three bushwhackers
The man communed with himself. He
felt that he couldn't live forever, and he
was bound to vote for one successful man
before he died, if it killed him.
He went down, and at different times dur
ing the day he voted seven times, twice
apiece for each of the two regulars, and once
for each OF the bushwhackers
The fraud was discovered the election in
that ward was thrown out and a new one Or
dered. The man went to jail and at the new
election a new man came in and beat the five
men for whom he had previously repeated
clear out of their boots.
The man told ME that as soon ac he was
out he was going to run for Congress and
vote for the other man, and so he would
either make a spoon or spoil horn.
While | repudiated his methods, | admired
the mans persistent devotion to the duties
of citizenship. Young man. vote every time
We have not yet reached time when there
is nobody to vote for. This country NAV
run little short on voters some time, but
on candidates. never.

Naughty Turkish Beauties.

Constantinope Letter.
The governments poor; it is harassed with
many weighty questions besides the means OF
defense against the cholera. Yet it has found
time to enter upon a crusade against the fair
sex, and it finds the ladies harder to deal
with than the Gar himself During the
present 86onth, when all moslems observe
the fast OF Ramazan, those who can afford i
lie abed through the heat of the day By
night, however, the city is all astir. From
10 o'clock until midnight all the Turkish la
dies who can find carriages take their drive
through the most fashionable squares. The
jam in such places is tremendous One night
the chief of police was promenading in search
of evils to be cured, and he observed these
great lines of carriages full of ladies'
passing along under the eyes of the
young men Of the city standing on
either side of the roadway. And then
he saw to his horror, ladies lean forward
and smile at the young men, and even wave
handkerchiefs from the carriage windows.
He saw handkerchiefs dropped from the car
riages, by accident, and he was morally GER
tain that the young men who politely handed
them back to their owners delayed long
enough to squeeze the fair hands that re-
ceived them, All these things were gall and
NORWOOD to the old gentleman. The next
day All order was posted through the city
prohibiting ladies from driving after night
fall. This of course raised a storm which is
not yet appeased. 1t has drawn out the
startling and reasonable claim from some OF
the ladies that they have equal rights and
privileges with the men. 1t is of course, to
be expected that the Turkish ladies will win
in this matter, in spite of police and the fact
that Turkish dictionaries do not admit such
a word as Artation.

John Burroughs, in September Century.
The song birds nearly all build low; their
cradle is not upon the tree-top. 1t is only
birds of prey that fear danger from below
more than from above, and that seek the
higher branches for their nests. A line five
feet from the ground would run above more
than half the nests, and one ten feet would
bound more than three-fourths of them. 1t
is only the oriole and the wood pewee that,
as a rule, go higher than this The crows
and jays and other enemies of the birds have
learned to explore this belt pretty thor
oughly But the leaves and the protective
coloring of most nests battle them as effec-
tually no doubt as they do the professional
ooegist.

DAVID DAVIS.
a Visit to the Ethereal Statesman of Illinois
with Hidden Meaning.

Robert J. Burdette.
In company with Mr.. Henry Watterson 1
made one more political pilgrimage, this time
to the beautiful home of Judge David Davis,
in Bloomington Ill. l had been prepared,
by Henrv's vivid descriptive powers for
meeting a man of remarkable physique, but
| must confess my establishment, when, in
answer to orr ring, Mr.. Davis himself came
creeping through the key-hole to welcome
us.
Its way I have" he said, laughing,
''when l am in too much haste TO unlock the
door"
The day was too beautiful to desert for the
pariors, so we wandered about the grounds
where grow, l think, the most beautiful
hedges in Illinois. Under the shade OF a tree
we paused, and as Mr. Davis, motioning
Henry and myself to seats on a cast-iron
lawn settee, seated himself carelessly on a
swaying spray OF purple hearted fuchsia l
had leisure to observe him.
A slender man, only redeemed from ema-
citation by the perfect symmetry of his limbs
and body with fair, curling hair that dropped
about his delicate shoulders like the escap-
ing tendrils of Q hayward vine, a faint flush
Just tintng his boyish cheeks, he produced
upon me an impression of ethereal lightness,
that half wondered if the fragile, spirituelle
creature before me were really mortal or
the spirit of the flower which he had made
his resting place. You could not call him
effeminate, for his 6gure has not even the
robust development OF a healthy woman. He
does not appear weak or in i'll health. He is
visible Ariel belonging to the realms of
the air as much as the gaudy butterfly which
he left our side to chase, and which moved
with a wing scarce less light and noisless
than the flying feet of the graceful statesman
who pursued him.
AS we came away, turned to watch him
swiftly climbing slender, swaying tree to
peep into a nest of wrens, far out on a slen-
der branch and thinking over our conversa-
ton with this effervescent, ripping young
creature, | said to my companion:
Henry, I think this is absurd The peo-
pie of the United States do not want boy,
a child who chases butterflies and climbs to
look into birds nests, a boy who walks on
his hands and turns sommersaults in the
paror for a President"
Look here" said Henry, suddenly look
ing so systematically wise l feared he had a
rush of brains to the head. Look here,
there is a hidden meaning to all this tree
climbing and butterfly chasing business, and
| am surprised that you newspaper men
haven't foundit out"

Morning Glories.

Yeur heavenly hues surpass, o, tender Mowers,
The reyal purple Of the sea" that tells

hours,
A thousand memories cluster round your
bells
when early mornings showers OF gold were shed
Trnon the fresh green blosBoming world, I've
stood
Tn RAPTURE worshiping. Your beauty fed
NV thirsting soul. Encircled by wood
I3aa hallowed ground, where once was life, love,
There were you trained by mothers loving
hands.
In fancy still thro' the old wood roam.
And pause to rest me where the old home
stands
see again your purple clusters lit
Their radiant faces to the morning light,
stand upon the porch; my pulse grows swift
With rushing memories your forms invite!
The days glide on-a cottage crowns a hill
That eastward slopes down to a sparkling
stream
Oserhung with roses wild, where robins trill
Their early songs of joy. o, sad, sweet dream!
A mother with her first-born proudly stands
Beside the cot with tender vines e'ergrowni
Holds up her baby girl with loving hands
To see you smiling i'll such beauty blown.
The baby leapt-your glory touched its soul!
All! who may know the message sent to God
Up bhro' your fragrant lips, where angels troll
The songs of the redeemed7 o, silent sod!
O. worlaess stars! my aching, breaking heart
You heed not. o, ring low your purple bells,
Sweet flowers; there's healing in your art
That triumphs over death, and peace compels.

Vain Waiting.

A shipwrecked sailor, on a lonely isle.
Climbed to a seat upon a barren peak,
And there, with nxious eye and fading cheek,
For days he watched the horizon, the while
Hopes tides arose and fell within his breast.
Sometimes he saw q small sail far away,
Shine like a white dove's wing against the
sky,
And then it slowly faded from his eye,
And in vain watching passed each weary day.
ga sail! a sail!' he cried one eve with bated
breath,
.Alasl 'twas but the white CLEAN of the robe of
death.

'vera" To BE Followed by the Duchess o.

Interview in New York Mail and Express.
THE critics say there is too much poetry
in the play?'
81 presume they think so. Well the last
act does pass into poetry and the prose be-
comes rhythmic That is in the nature of
things. One could not for a moment imagine
the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet
rendered in prose. Always, passion passes
into music at a certain altitude"
"If Vera is a success will you write
another play to atflIct a long-suffering pub
lic?"
Vera is a success said Mr. Wilde smil.
ing blandly. you ask if l will write an
other play, have one already written. 1t
is in my room. Come up and III read it to
you"
The reporter excused himself.
WELL Will tell you, then, that I have a
five-act drama entitled The Duchess OF
Padua.' The period is OF the fifteenth ecu
fury, and the scene is laid in Italy. 1t is in
blank verse and prose mixed. The prose is
