So LONDONDERRY THURSDAY,

what for? Now you are very un-
reasonable, and If you want to know
anything more, you must ask Phoebe"
Zone question! Are they-are they
engaged?"
"Engagedp Good heavens, no! Who
ever dreamed of such thing2" she ex-
claimed with as much astonishment as
though she had not been planning to
that very end.
Poor fellow, he does love her. It
was shame to make him suffer So" she
thought. watching him as he walked
on blithely whistling. ~ will never
try matchmaking again--never!' she
continued aloud. "But what does the
old song say?"
"lf you do not succeed, try, try
again" said a laughing voice close be-
side her, and blushing, she turned to
face Victor Stuart. "Care marks your
brow, Miss Jean; tell me your trouble" /"
"Not for the world" she cried
quickly and with energy.
"Why notp do assure you l will
keep the secret, If secret it be, and give
all the comfort l can"
"Thank you; but am not in need
of sympathy" she said, walking on.
He kept at her side, carrying his gun
on one arm.
"Well, l am, for l love girl--a
sweet. beautiful, lovable girl; but am
afraid she does not love me-"
He stole glance at the sober young
face shaded by the broad brimmed hat.
1t turned white, rather than red, and a
faint quiver passed over the sweet soft
lips.
"Have you asked her? ?" she managed
to say very steadily
1t was dreadful to hear him talk of
that girl.
"No; she is young, and l do not
want to be too hasty. But l love her
with all my heart, all my soul, and if
she would but marry mo" He
drew a long breath, his eyes alight with
loves fire. "Tell me, Jean, shall wait
a while longer, or can ask her now?'
"Do as you think best"
They were walking along a shady
path, almost in sight of house.
Stuart flung down his gun, and stretch
ed out his hands to Jean.
"Then say that you will be my wife,
Jean, for you are my lovel
So ended Jeans first and last attempt
at matchmaking.
Phoebe lives contentedly with her
farmer, while Jean is in the city and is

Down on Dust,

Dust destroys as much property ev-
cry year as any other natural agency
except fire. In Denver this is e5pec-
tally true. as there dust is of a pecu-
liarly penetrating quality. 1t can get
into houses through crevices that
would bar out even those angels, a
hundred thousand of whom can stand
on point of pin. Dust is an ex-
pensive luxury, which in these hard
times we cannot afford to indulge in.
1t soils the windows.
It Injuries the furniture.
1t ruins the books and pictures.
1t doubles the cost of keeping the
home tidy.
1t wears out clothing.
1t doubles the wash bill.
1t destroys shoe leather.
1t increases the expense and trouble
of keeping the person tidy.
1t damages all kinds of goods.
Jtspoils the groceries.
1t is deleterious TO dry goods.
Is is hurtful to cigars and tobacco.
1t plays the mischief with drugs.
1t devastates jewtlry and watches
1t is hard on hardware.

1t drives all music from the soul

1t confuses the doctor, mixes up the

Prvphesies.
Sometimes you will look back to these bright

Sometimes you viii look back 10 THESE orisns
days
With fearful eyes.
And think of all our quiet, happy ways
With sobs and signs.
You will remember how we read, or talked
In this dear ROOM
Or, summer evenings how we rode or walked
Ihro' fragrant gloom
Sometimes alone, o. in a busy throng
Again will ring
Soft, clear and sweet, an echo of some song
We used to sing;
And of, awake or sleeping, you'll recall
This cozy room
Books, music, cen the pictures on the wall
And flowers in bloom.
You will remember every tender word
You've said to me.
The knowledge that you've spoken no harsh
word
VIII rcsofort thee.
Sometime you'll weep and pray, but all in
As far you roam.
For one short hour to rest from grief and pain
In this sweet home.
Dear heart, grieve that must leave thee
To walk alone;
But sometime we sh,l inl each other there
Around tho Throne.

English Flowers and Saints.

Every flower of any note in the
woods and meadows in England is as
sociated with the memory of some
sanity man or epoch of earlier times.
The sno wdrop was understood to mark
the feast of Candlemas; theCanterbury
bells not only cured throat disease
hence called throat wort-but kept
alive the holy memory of st. Angus
tine; the lily of the valley was under
stood to have sprung from the
sprinkle of blood of st. Leonard, slain
in wood near Hastings, where ST.
Leonards has since been built. The
harebell claims to be worn by none
but those who are true. The black
spots on the leaves of the common
arum, cuckoo pint" or "wake robin,
are due to the same causes that color
ed the red hearts crimson chest, or
twisted the cropbills beak. for legends
differ as to which of those two birds
plucked out the nails from the cross.

His Riches.

His Riches.
Poor! did you call me,
My wants are but few,
And generous Nature
Gives me more than my due.
The air and the sunshine,
Fresh water and health,
And heart to enjoy them
All these arc my wealth.
My wealth is substantial,
Although in the mart
! cannot convey it,
In whole or in part;
Yet if | enjoy it,
What signifies more?
I'm lord of the ocean;
I'm king Of the shore.
Wealth could procure me
But pleasure and ease:
I've both in my garden
Beneath the green trees;
Pve both in my cottage,
My fancies to feed;
I've both in my conscience
What more do need?

STAR ROUTE SPECIAL COUNSEL.
Mr.. Van Wyck Says They Did Not Earn the
Enormous Fees Paid Them.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-The Senate took
up the General Deficiency bill to-day. On
reaching a proviso recommended by tho SEN
ate Committee to DO stricken out OF the House
Dill. that no part OF the money appropriated
for district attorneys and their assistants
should DO used to pay special counsel fees. Mr..
Van WICK said he thought tho item should not
be stricken out. II the testimony before the
Springer committee was true. he said. no moro
money should be paid to special counsel. The
special Star route counsel had been giving be-
fore that committee such testimony as showed
not only that they had not earned tho enor-
nous fees paid them. but that they had vio-
lated their faith with their clients. Thousands
upon thousands Of dollars had been paid to
special counsel. In some cases amounting to
$25. 900 or $50. 900 a year. with no result.
Mr. Hale replied thnt the striking out OF the
clause had no reference to the Star route cases.
but to the Guitaau trial. That WAS a laborlous
and protracted trial. and the committee had
not thought the fees Mt all unreasonable. They
did not amount to anything like those OF the
Star route case.
Tho senate Committees amendment was
agreed to.
On motion Of Mr.. Hale an item was added
authorizing the AttOrney-General to pay Chas.
y. Reed. for services AZ counsel for the assassin
Charles j. Guiteau. such sum rs he may deem
just. not to exceed %. 900.
The Deficiency bill was then passed.
