BEYOND.
BY BL0NDINE.

Beyond the flowing river,
Where the ripping waters play
E Beyond its restless rushing,
Its crested foam and spray,
They tell us blooming ever
Is flower rich and rare,
Whose odors rise on the stiffness
Like the silence after prayer.
But we may not gather its cup of snow,
Nor drink of its sweetness, alb no all no
Beyond the painless mountains
That lift their calm blue peaks,
In the dim and sleepy distance
That the vapory mystery seeks,
They tell us there lies a valley
Where the sun forever shines,
And songs all day are chanted
BY its waving palms and vines.
But we cannot know the songs it sings
Nor what the sun in its shinings brings.
Beyond the far blue pillows
OF the oceans mighty SWELL
Beyond its ceaseless surging,
Its sea.song and its knell,
They say there is sunny cline
Far, brighter far than this,
Where the skies are always blue,
And the blue is always bliss,
But we may not claim DER its liquid miles
A home on the shore of those far dim isles
Beyond the damp and darkness
That hangs Ger the silent night,
There dwells beautiful picture
OF fresh new life, and light
Our morning, in her silver mist,
Her dew and amber cloud,
Her rosy-tinted sun waves,
And star-beam's paid shroud,
See Pleasures proud painted palace fade,
Where Hopes deep cornerstone is laid.
Beyond the night that is passing,
And the light of day now done,
Beyond the cooling shadows,
Beyond the stars and sun,
Blooms the flower of the Immortal,
Lies the valley of the Soul,
Is the land of the Hereafter
Which the mysteries enfold.
But watch thou poor benighted, and wal
white souled and fond,
And all thy wrongs are righted, in the beau
tiful BEYOND.

Il Ncely Old Lady of 80.
from the Brooklyn Union. I

The Oldest resident of Windsor Terrace, in
the town of Flatbush, is Mrs. Esther Estes.
She is SS years of age and draws a govern
ment pension as the widow of a soldier of
the war of 1912. She remembers with dis
tinctness journey made by her at the age
of 2L years, from Coeyman's to Hyde Park
afterwards battle ground. She can give a
vivid description of the battle of Plattsburg
The first cannon fired at that battle was
heard by her at Richmond, Vt, where she
then lived. Her faculties are good and her
power of repartee remarkable. She reads
and works without the aid of glasses which
she has not used for 35 years. Until two
years ago, when she broke her right wrist,
she was very active in sewing and knitting
Latterly she stumbled in a cistern several
feet deep, without injury, getting out with
out assistance. Her favorite songs, sung by
her with spirit, are "Battle of Plattsburg''
and s'Noble Lads of Canada" Of course
she has seen General Washington. She lives
with her son, R. H. Estes, who will be re-
membered by old roadmen as keeper of the
toll-gate at the northern end of the old Coney
Island plank road. Four generations of the
Estes family live in the house.

SHE SLIPPED THE YOKE.
Il Wife,s Shre,cd Decice for Escaping
From q Husband.
Moberly (Mo.l Special, 14tl

MoDerly (Mo.) opeclal, l4tn
A sensational occurrence was developed
here to-day by the receipt of letter from
Sedalia stating that Mr.. Frank White, a res
taurant keeper of Moberly, had written the
City-Marshal of Sedalia requesting him to
arrest Ellen White, his wife, who was in that
city, and who, it was alleged, had absconded.
A search for the particulars revealed the fol-
lowing facts: On the LIST day of March, Mr..
White and wife, who had been on anything
but pleasant terms for several months, had a
misunderstanding, which became so serious
that Mrs. White informed her husband that
their married career must end at once, and
accordingly packed her wardrobe and left,
going to Paris, Mo-, where she was followed
and found by her husband few days after
the separation. Mrs. White finally agreed to
return with her husband, and both started
for the depot. After waiting for some time,
a freight train came dashing along, and Mrs.
White, seeing that the cars would not stop,
and desiring to free herself from her hus-
band, made jump for the moving train,
and, with the conductors assistance, landed
safely, leaving her terror-stricken husband
standing in the depot door, wringing his
hands in bewilderment and holding the
valise of the disappearing Ellen. He took
the next train about four hours afterward,
for Moberly, and failing to find his vile here
he sent the above described letter to Sedalia.

Cha,scer,s Three Fathers.

AS to his personal history, a medley Of
statements have been manufactured, from
which you take your choice. He was born
four different places, at different dates, but
was only blessed with three fathers, Richard,
Thomas and John Chaucer. The paternal
relative was shoemaker, military man in
the best society, and vintner. "Dan"
never received liberal education; he is
claimed by Oxford and Cambridge, but any
one who has seen his spelling would deny
that. Still, everything he did is viewed with
such blind and unreasoning reverence that
even his execrable photography has been re-
vised and closely initiated by the advocates
of phonetic spelling without, however, CIV
ing him credit for the ideas. See his hous
for house, nous, hors, rime, bras, pees,
aked, &c. He logged Franciscan friar in
Fleet street, proof positive that he was law
STUDENT but, unfortunately, the lawyers did
not occupy the Temple until long alter Chau-
GERS youth.-Kate Sanborm, in The Nanhat-

AN ENTERPRIsING SUICIDE.
The Determined Manner In Which a Cali

from the San Francisco Chronicle

The Determined Manner In Which a Cali
foy7sia Inventor Is Seeking Death.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.1
Probably one of the most remarkable at
tempts at self-destruction ever recorded oc-
Cured at Camp Independence last Thursday.
AS will appear from the recitals OF the de-
tails by the would-be suicide himself, his
double failure to shuttle of this mortal coil
show facts to be, indeed, stranger than fc-
ton. Oscar Bacon, well-known old-timer
of Inyo, a miner, machinist and inventor,
has for months past been in charge of
son, formerly the captains quarters of the
post. As has been his wont in life for many
years, Bacon has kept himself alone and Sc
cluded as possible. He is one never known
to drink or use tobacco but on the night re-
ferred to imaginary demons opened hostiE-
ties, and in defiance of such proceedings
Oscar repaired to his room, and after such
careful preparation administered himself a
dose of strychnine frem spoon improvised
of paper. Presently he reached out of his
bed for water, but upset it and had to rise to
get another supply. Then he says, his arms
and legs commenced violent spasmodc
movements in all directions from his body.
He was thrown to the floor, but managed
to regain the bed. He denies having ex-
perienced pain in the stomach or bowels,
strange to say, but perspiration poured out
in streams. The agony subsidized, leaving
him without old chronic pains in the head
and chest The astounding result of this
effort ought to have been satisfactory, but
Oscar imm ediately organized another scheme.
Going to the swing hanging from an iron
cross-beam between the trees, he took the
rope-an apparently strong one, three
fourths of an inch in diameter and knotted
it with hangman's nose in the most scien-
tific style of the art, grease and all Then, adj
justing the other end to the beam so as to
give himself drop of seven and one-half
feet, he adjusted the moose about his neck,
placing the knot under his left ear in the
most approved manner. Raising himself to
the cross-head, he yelled defiance to his i'm
aginary pnrsuers and let go. So did the
rope, for it broke about six feet above the
knot The terrific jar took the kinks out of
his limbs and bruised his neck, but it did
not break it nor was he strangled. The next
morning Oscar was attending to his house
hold matters and related the circumstances
above. Just before these wild attempts at
sef-murder Bacon deliberately burned and
destroyed all of the fine models of the many
machines and inventions which have alb
sorbed his lonely hours for so many years.

Did Not liant To Be Insulted.
Boston Journal,
kansas City Times.]

It is almost incredible that so green per-
son should exist as a man-cvidently from
Maine-who entered a cheap eating house in
this city few days ago in quest of dinner.
He seated himself at q table and suspiciouslv
reviewed in detail the appearance of every
person present, after which. evidently con-
WINGED that there were no bunko men or
other sharpers about, he tilted his hat on the
back of his head and waited developments.
The walters were hurrying about, slammin g
down dishes and yelling out orders to the
kitchen, and presently one of them came up
to the stranger: ''Roas' beef roas' pork,
boil' dinner, ham'n eggs, an pork'n beans, "
said the waiter with the speed of lightning
and the expression of a photograph. The
Maine man looked at him and grlnned.
ooh, go way" said he; 'what do yer take
me fore" The waiter stared and went away
accordingly. Presently another came around
and ran through the same formula. "Get
eaoutl' roared the guest, Gam femme alone
won't yer!'' and this serving man also re-
tired A third and fourth tried conclusions
with him with equal success, and when the
last one went away baffied the Maine man
was seen to be mad clear through. He arose
and marched up to the counter and said to
the proprietor at the desk: "Looker, here
I come in here to get some dinner, an I can
pay for it, too, and don't yer forgit it. But
/ don't mean to be insulted. If you've got
any grub here why don't your walters trot il
ont, an what do they mean by yellin' off a
lot of heather gibberish in a mans ear? Dc
they think Pm blamed fool? You may GO
to thunder with your old hash house; there's
n1aces in Boston where q man can come in
am be treated like gentleman, I guess ''
and he strobe out and slammed the door af-
ter him. And to this time the restaurant
keeper and his walters haven't found out
what the row was all about.

take the string of the trap-door of the coop
in her bill, draw the trap and let her male
out. The male then hooked the string on
the outside so as to hold the trap open for
their return. On Monday last the trap was
left open. Beauty saw the sleet and rain
