The TattOOed Tramp.

The other day a tramp walked into =
Carson yard and asked for days
work trimming trees, assuring the man
of the house that an old pair OF pants
or a square meal would be considered
a sufficient equivalent for the job. The
man who owned the premises was .
philanthropic fellow and tished up an
old pair of pants in few moments, at
the same time setting the stranger to
work mauling the wood pile. While
thus engaged the children got around
him and were dazzled with the picture.
of some angels in red, blue, and lot OF
sheet anchors and mermaids tattooed
on his arms. They soon learned the
stormy history of his life. He had been
a sailor in the Caribbean, Caspian, and
Polar seas, and after giving a graphic
account of his tiger hunts in India, his
wrestlings with gorillas in Africa, and
his great catch ch-as-catch-can match,
Queensberry rules, with boa con-
strictor in South America, it is but to
add that he commanded the entire re-
spect and attention of the audience.
When the wood pile had been sufficient
ly splintered he announced that the
hospitality he had received called TO:
more work, and there seeming to be
nothing special in sight he expressed
himself as uneasy unless he was shown
something more. One of the children
asked him if he could put some picture;
on her arms as he had on his arms. Id
said he could. and in twinkling pro
duced the necessary paraphernalia. The
children were simply delighted ant
almost had riot disputing over the frs
choice. BY four o'clock in the evening
he had two young boys. aged four ane
seven, and baby all covered over will

A Remarkable Young Lady.

Young Frenchwomen evidently do
not intend to be left behind their En-
glish and American sisters in the matter
Of academic caps and gowns. We have
to record the brilliant success OF a
Young yendean lady (Mlle. Benoit) IN
the recent examination at the Sorbonne
for the Baccalaureat-e -es-lettres, one OF
three sisters who have all distinguished
themselves. Mile. Gabrielle was LATELY
made "bacheliere es lettres ct es sell
ences." while Mile. Victorine. the eldest
of the three last year received her
degree of NJ. D., her thesis on that oc-
cssiou being generally regarded as re-
markable. The aforementioned lady is
a notable example of the indomitaoie
energy and courage of French women.
While pursuing her medi al studies a,
the Sorbonne she not only maintained
herself by giving lessons. but also con
tributed to the education Of her younges
sister. It is to be hoped that sucf
qualities as these will meet the en-
couragement they deserve.-PdA MAJ

We have fought the worla together:
Sometimes it was all an uphill road.

But ever your hand in mine found,
With sweet and strong endeavor;
A step at a time. a step at a time.

And now when gather the fruits of life,
And stand where longed to stand,
never forget q moment, dear,
What you were to my heart and hand.
Sweet wife,
To my head, and heart. and hand.
You never failed me at any time.
Then how could be untrue?
The gold we made, the honor and fame.
Are they not all for you,
Sweet wife,
Are they not all for you?
Dearest! you were never half so dear,
Nor half so fair in the past.
Whatever betide, be sure you'n be
