NOW, John," the district teacher says
with frown that scarce can hide
The dimpling smiles around her mouth
Where Cupid's hosts abide,
What have you done to Mary Ann
That she Is crying sof
Don't say Z was nothing-don't, / say,
For John, that can't be 30.
"For Mary Ann would never cry
AT nothing, am sure,
And II you've wounded justice, John,
You know the only cure
Is punishment. So come, stand up:
Transgressions must abide
The pain attendant on the scheme
That makes it justified"
So John steps forth, with sunburnt face
And hair all in tumble,
His laughing eyes a contrast to
His dropping mouth, SO humble.
NOW, Mary, you must tell me all
see that John will not
And II he's been unkind or rude
III whip him ON the spot"
"We-we were playin' p-prisoner's base,
An h-he is such t-tease,
An w-when wwas MT l-lookin', ma'am,
H-he kissed me-if you please!"
Upon the teachers face the smiles
Have trumphed DER the frown,
A pleasant thought runs through her mind,
The stick comes harmless down
But outraged law must lie avengedl
Begone, ye smiles. begone
Away, ye little dreams OF love,
Come on, ye frowns, come on!
Il think I'll have TO whip you, Joha;
Such conduct breaks the rule;
No boy, except naughty one,
Would kiss -girl-at school"
again the teachers rod is raised.
A Nemesis she stands
premium were put on sin
IL punished by such handsi
As when the bee explores the ross
We see the petals tremble,
So trembled Mary's rosebud lips
Her heart would not dissemble
II wouldn't whip him very hard
The stick stops in its fall
1T wasn't right to do IL; but
IL did MT hurt at ALL"
what made you cry, then, Mary AnnY'
The school noise makes pause
And out upon the listening air
From Mary comes "Becausel"

France r 70 Tax I,acheror.,


A tax upon bachelors Is the latest notion OF
the French Men In tho pleasant land OF
France are not matrimonially inclined until
they pass into somewhat OF the sere and yel-
low leaf. In fact so great are the difficulties
thrown in the way Of a person entering the
holy estate in France that II Is only very
bold person who will attempt to surmount
the obstacles thrown In the road For exam
pie, no Frenchman can think OF get
ting married without his pa and
mas" consent before he numbers i've
and twenty summers. When he reaches that
are he generally comes to tho conclusion
that he'd better bide wee, and thoss WHO
can lift the veil from Parisian gossip know
what that means II bachslos are taxed,
however, this state of things may be altered.
The preamble Of the bill Is Is follows;
aWhereas the growing decrease Of the popu-
lation in France Is matter OF such noto-
riety, it has become necessary to impose .
tar upon all single parsons over-blank-
wears of age who belong to the male sex

Improved the Peoples Tastes.

No reform was ever yet worked In which
the leaders did not rush TO extremes-ex-
tremes denounced alike by the enemies and
the moderate upholders OF the movement.
Look, for example, at the aesthetic rage
which ha4possessed in greater or less degree
the souls Of half the people Of England. The
promoters Of aestheticism have made them
selves supremely ridiculous In the eyes of tie
majority. We have all laughed at their sum
flowers, and their cracked china teapots, and
dingy green gowns; while the languid youth,
with his lilies and his long hair, has become
: household jest. But results show reform
In the tasts OF the people. There is an i'm
movement in almost every department IN
which popular fancy shows itself, In build
mo furniture. dress and decorative art.

THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS.
what Has Been Accomplished I'm th
"Land OF Montexuma..
George Alfred Townsend

George Alfred Townsend.l
The nature of the influence which the
United States may, II it chooses exert over
the republics of South and Central America
Is clearly shown by the quiet progress Of
events in Mexico during the last ten years.
PreJudices Of a generations growth have
been swept away, the suspicious of politi-
clans allayed, the superstitious terror of
strangers, so universal among the lower
classes OF the Mexican populace, have GER
tainly lessened. And all this has been tho
result OF private enterprises conducted on
Mexican soil by American capitalists, of in
creased travel and closer social relations be-
tween representative men Of the two re-
publics.
The tone of our diplomatic course has not
noticeabiy varied during the past ten years,
but our business relations have so increased
that fifty persons in the United States are
now interested in the welfare of the "Land Of
Montezuma" where scarcely one was decade
ago. A glance at the titles of books pub
lished in the United States Of late years will
prove this. Ten years ago who wrote or
read book on Mexicoi A few sensational
novels, few newspaper letters, few un-
trustworthy and badly written works of
travels and compilations of history COM
prised all that was being published. At
present nearly every publishing house of
note has its works upon Mexico, its climate,
resources, history, ethnology and antiquities
Few persons realize how actively the
Mexicans themselves are taking hold of
other enterprises in connection with Ameri-
can capitalists. There are great deal of
wealth hidden away in Mexico in some of the
old families. Living has been so cheap for
centuries, and the mines have paid so well,
that many young and energetic Mexicans,
some OF them educated abroad, some in the
United States, have the necessary capital to
take their part in the industrial development
OF the country. The inevitable increase in
real estate values has also fallen largely to
the profit of the natives.
The three things that the chief cities of
Mexico will soon have are telephones, electric
lights and cable cars. The other day the
Mexican Cable Tramway company was in
corporated In the city Of Pachuca, the
capital Of the state Of Hidalgo, population
10000, a two-mile cable car line Ia now
being constructed for passengers and freight
The extensive ore reduction works near this
town make the promised traffic large and
profitable. The horse railroad in Guiana juata,
a city of 5000 population, is to be replaced
with cable road, and the same will be dcne
in Zacatecas Cable roads will be soon COM
menced, it is said, in San Luis Potosi, Puebla
Guadalaxera, all cities of nearly 100, 900 in
habitants. The expected cable roads in the
City of Mexico will cover about twelve miles
of distance

A Distinguished Actress.
MISS ELLEN TERRY.

Miss Ellen Terry is one Of the most gifted
members Of a family of clever actresses
There were four sisters-Ellen, Kate, Marion
and Florence. Besides her ability as an actress
Miss Terry exhibits exceptional good taste
in the design and texture Of her costumes,
which are chiefly her own conceptions. On
a previous tour through this country she re-
ceived considerable gratuitous advertising
from the fact that she was denied admission
to many of the first class hotels tn rough her
insisting on a dog accompanying her.

Accepting a Daughters Correction.

tSan Francisco Chronicle.
There's an old legend of the time when
Bidwell was candidate for governor. He
had a servant at the door, who demanded
cards from his visitors before they could be
admitted. Cards do not grow in the rural
districts, and even the playing cards are
not of the best quality. But the story has
nothing to do with cards. One day an old
farmer and his family called. The servant
answered the call.
SIS the governors folks at homer de-
manded the old farmer
Are, papa, are, not u.s." said the Mills
seminary daughter,

and the young lady tainted

Wide Streefs.
THE Current.l

When George Augustus Sala visited
Omaha he was astonished that the town
should have devoted SO much space to streets
He wrote Of the folly and cost of such plan.
He would have written the same way about
Chicago had he seen the town in 1850 But
now, with streets from sixty-six to hundred
feet wide, there are certain portions of that
city where the thoroughfares seem rather
narrow, and unquostionably dark on a dull
day. The men Of America had empires in
their brains" The first generation In any
American city as well situated as Is Omaha
must bear the burden of wide pavements, or
relinquish the hopes upon which the town il
usually sounded.

A Bride Who Didn't Need Advice.
detroit Post

A rather green looking couple entered the
office of an east side justice and requested
the magistrate to unite them in marriage
At the conclusion of the ceremony the JUS
tice, out of his vast experience, gave them a
few words Of advice. After he had ex
planned to the young man his duties as a
husband, etc, he turneI to the bride, He
told her how she should conduct herself,
that she must look TO her husband for every
thing, and, forsaking father and mother
and brothers and sisters, follow him wher-
ever he went She stood it pretty well for q
while, but as he became eloquent she became
restive, and finally she interrupted him with
the remark: "Cut that short, Judge; I've
been married twice before"
