her lovelit eyes Ellery read his answer.
Katie was in rapture when the result
of this momentous interview was con-
fded to her. Later on her face wore
an absorbed, distracted air. After
sundry mysterious visits and whispered
consultations with mamma she flew to
Helen's room and with much coaxing
and caressing tried to persuade her that
a most charming (" denouement" would
be a quiet wedding, with Papa Somers
to give away the bride. When Ellery
added his entreaties, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Somers would take no denial, Helen
laughingly surrendered herself to her
friends.
Aunt Clem rubbed her eyes to assure
herself that she was not dreaming, as
she stood in her pretty gray silk listen
ing to. the solemn words that made
Helen the happy wife of Ellery Hamp-

When I was boy, working for two

Value of Human Life.

A stranger who got into the Union
Depot yards yesterday while trying to
find the railroad ferry slip would have
been run down by one of the numerous
switch locomotives had not man at
work in the flour sheds seized him and
pulled him off the track. The stranger
was greatly confused and shaken up
for moment, but after he had taken
seat on the platform and got his breath
he called out:
" My man, that was nobly donel I
expect you can make use of $1,000 in
cash ?''
{" Well, perhaps. F."
The stranger breathed heavily, rubbed
his arm, and after minute continued
g Yes, 1 feel just like making you a
present of thousand dollars"
This was painful reduction from
the first observation, but it wasn't for
the four-roller to find fault. He
brushed away at the strangers hat to
get the dust off, and as he handed it
over he was informed
I" l think you would know where to
put 500 if you had it, eh P''
"I want nothing, sir. You were in
danger and I pulled you away"
But shall insist upon your accept
ing something. You certainly saved
my life, and shouldn't begrudge S25. {"
He got out his wallet, which was
crowded full of bills, and as he handled
them over he remarked
"Ten dollars would buy your wife a
dress, and every time she wore it you
could think of me-"
Yes, sir. y
The bill came out, but was quickly
replaced, and after a minute spent in
some mental calculation the stranger
all at once handed out 50 bill with
the observation
Z" Here, my man, go and get you
new hat, and rest assured l shall ever
be grateful to you.''
Then it was seen that the laborer
was painfully embarrassed. He shifted
from one leg to the other, looked up
and down the shed, and when asked
the trouble he replied:
"Please, sir, but haven't you any
small change about you I think a
quarter would be plenty of reward for
saving your life.
ga quarter Well, considering the
railroad company pays you for the time
you were hauling me around, maybe
that's enough. Here it is, and 1 hope
you will make good use of it. L guess
I can get down to the slip all right
from here, but if you happen to save
my life again you can look for half a
dollar at least.-DetrOit Free Press.

1 HAVE HEARD A GLAD BIRD
SINGING

have heard glad bird singing
Springs first burst of joy;
Watched two mates the nest home. bringing
Songful, sweet employ;
Heard four downy nestlingS calling
Through the leaves of June;
Der an empty nest heard wailing,
Oh, so soon so soon!
June's tair flowers in full completeness,
As from snowdrifts strayed,
BlOomed-but oh, how soon their sweetness,
Beauty, all could fade
Gold-bright leaves came earthward falling,
Crickets giieved below;
Cold, wild winds came downward calling
Armies of the snow.
Oh, a face whose dearest smiling
Once was mine alone.
Many radiant hours beguiling,
Cold and strange has grown.
Bright, glad hopes like waves came leaping
Ger lifes sands to me;
COyly turning, backward creeping,
Left me tauntingly.
Yet the spring brings always singing,
June her roses, too;
Hearts are mine, and hopes come bringing
joys as sweet and true.
So / know, though treasures taken
Leave us desolate,
Faith may yet remain mistaken
IT we trusting wait.

With lovely light;
Was there ever a day more fair?
The hedges are icy lace-wOrk Ween
Holding spears aloft where the leaves have
Piercing the wintry air.
Each tree is dressed
In its very best,
For Christmas tide is here;
Their summer suit OF a living green
Is gone for ave and a diamond sheen
Is glittering far and near.
Old earth's brown breast
Is akin to the rest,
In her ermine cloak arrayed;
And it's broidered with jewels where grass
peeps through,
Rejecting each sunray with brilliant nue.;
She is gay, this matron statd.
E'en the fence is agleam,
Meath the suns bright beam,
In coat of mail to-day. leaves,
And the icicles hang from the OLD brown
IT'S a silvery fringe which the ice elf leaves
As he speeds his frosty way.
If ever you've seen
Where the fairies have been
You will know they held revel high
In that thicket of brambles and vines last
night,
With hsngings of frost flowers and diamonds
dight
Fer daylight bade them fly.
But their hall is left,
OF no beauty Teft,
To beWilder our mortal sight.
And the brilliant sun, and the keen clear air,
And our ringing footsteps, give promise fair
They will dance again tonight.

A YOUNG MAn entering a car near
Kansas City, No., recently, found all
the seats occupied but one beside a
lady. Seating himself here, he sat
reading paper until he noticed that
the lady, who was pretty and neatly
dressed, began looking at him, occa-
sionally winking and smiling. He
blushed and was in the act of leaving
the seat when she threw her arms
about his neck and declared that he
was the only person she ever loved.
Two men who were seated opposite
succeeded in calming the woman, and
then explained that she was being
taken to an asylum,

through crevice, while his brave. re-

earned it. No one knows how hope at

Death by Inscrutability.

Some time ago an old man, who made
a speciality of digging wells in northern
Wisconsin and curbing the same with
pine boards, had nearly completed job,
being within twenty feet of the surface,
when the upper part of the well gave
way and caved in on the old man, cover
ing him with ton or more of free soil
and assorted debris; and, strange to say,
a small air space was left next the wall,
through which the old man made out to
get little air, and through which his
voice could be heard by several men who
were working near by. They came to
the well and began to remove some of
the earth ; meanwhile the old man eau
toned them to be careful about filling
the little air channel in the corner, so
that his supply would be sh ut off.
Things were moving along in good
shape, with the prospect of giving the
old man his feedom in a few hours,
when it was suggested by one of the
men that some one ought to be made re-
sponsible for payment in this matter
before too much was done. They were
leaving their own work and neglecting
a remuneratiye job to do this, and
some one should be made responsible
for their time, at reasonable rates, at
least. This sentiment was Endorsed
soon after by the other two men, and
one of them suggested that the town
ought to pay them for their time. To
secure their money, however, he
thought it would be necessary to get due
authority from the town board before
the work was done. 1t was therefore
decided to see the clerk and the chair
man of the board before they proceeded
any further.
They therefore adjourned from the
well to the residence of the clerk, who
was at that time in the woods, but who
returned at night. On his. arrival he
stated to the committee that it would
be necessary to see the chairman, who
would be at home on the following day.
Thereupon they all went over to his
house on the next day, and after long
debate he decided that he could do
nothing without full board meeting;
and it was agreed the clerk should call
meeting Of the board, giving the three
days notice required by law. The board
upon meeting and holding two days.
session, decided that it would not be
authorized to expend the town funds in
this manner without instruction from
majority of the legal voters of the town
ship.
Thirty days. notice was therefore
given of special election, at which it
was decided that the board might use
its own discretion in the matter.
WhereupOn that body called another
meeting; and fearing that the old man
might have perished from fatigue,
decided to fill the well up and to draft
resolutions of profound sorrow, which
sorrow-soaked resolutions were to be
spread upon the moments of the meet
ing by the clerk, and copy thereof
furnished to the bereved widow, and a
second copy published in the Jny Jerker
at half rates.
