He Knew IL All.

The youth had been patronizing the
young ladies by vouchsafng choice
bits of superior wisdom. "You re.
member what Caesar said when he was
about TO cross the Rubicon?" said the
old gentleman. Certainly" replied
the youth, with careless glance of
pity at the young ladies, who, of
course, could not be expected to know
everything that a man knows. "And,
OF course, you arc equally familiar
with the life of Peter the Hermit! y
continued the old gentleman. 81
should say that [ was" replied the
young man quickly, but not
without a slightly troubled look
in his face. "And Semira-
mide,' the old gentleman went on,
''you recall this famous sayinga'
Yes" gasped the youth, wishing
that the old gentleman might be struck
with apoplexy as soon as convenient.
81 am glad you remember it, " said the
old gentleman with animation, F'for
I've clean forgotten it. Now, if you'll
be kind enough; and no doubt the
ladies would be glad to hear it also"
The youth by this time wished that
the old gentleman had died in infancy,
and as for the ladies. he couldn't help
thinking how much better it would
have been had they never been born.
"By the way" pursued the old gen.
tlen1an, seeing the youth hesitated,
"who was Senairamide? He had
something to do with the last Franco
Prussian war, hadn't he2' Eyes, O
yes" replied the youth, catching at
the bait with earne stness, while some
thing like a giggle was passed around
among the young ladies, as if it
were a paper Of caramelS. And
Peter the Hermit was instrumental in
bringing about peace at the close of
that struggled" yes" The youth
said thus very family. "But Caesar
held out and marched his shattered
force into the Wallachian principals
ity?' That's the way I remember
it." replied the youth, with desper~
alton born of despair. Then the old
gentleman looked at the young ladies
who were engaged in stuffing their
mouths full of pocket-handkerchief,
and then he looked at the youth and
exclaimed: "Ah, sir, how I envy
you your store of knowledge! What
a comfort you must be to your pa
rents!" Then the youth got up and
went out into the cherries night, and
cursed the old gentleman behind his
back. And the young ladies laughed
IN unison, but the noise of their
laughter was overborne by the merry
peals of the old gentleman.

For we both ,-grecd in doubling whether matri-

And she said her young affections were all wound
So we laughed at those wise men who say that
friendship cannot live
'Twixt man and woman, unless each has some
We would be friends and friends as true as e'er
were man and man,
I'd be second David, and she Miss Jonathan.
We'd like each other, that was all, and quite
enough b. say,
So we just shook hands upon 1T in o business sort
of way.
We shared our sorrows and our joys, together
hoped and feared.
With common purpose sought the goal when
young ambition reared
We dreamed together Of the days, the dream

We were strictly confidential and called each 9TH

And rustic bridges and the like, which picture
To run in with their waterfalls, and groves and
sunny Skies
And many quiet evening, in hours of full re-
We fioated down the river or Ioafed beneath the
trees,
And talked in long graduation from the poet to the
weather,
While the summer skies and my cigar burned
slowly out together.
But through it all no whispered word or telltale
look or sigh
Told aught of warmer sentiment than friendly
sympathy
We talked of love as coldly as we talked Of neb-

being three.

the time had come to 90.
My going meant our parting, when to meet we dlo

Ihad fingered long and said farewell with very
heavy heart,
For though we were but friends you know, It's
hard for friends to part;
t'WeIl good-by, old fellow; don't forget your

And some day, when you've lots of time, just drop

The words came lightly, gayly, but great sob

About the Summer Girl.
Philadelphia Times.

The season Of the summer girl is
here. Radiant in white dress, bright
eyes and low cut slippers, surmoUnted
by c0quettishly dark cOlored hose, she
fits from place to place in the consci-
Gus power Of her temporary acceD-
dency. She is found at the seaside
hotels and the mountain resorts, in
country and town, or on board the
ocean vessel. Whatever others Haay
be, she, at least, is always the same
The perforated sleeve and dress yoke
make her cool and Indifferent to the
torrld rays of the sun and her owR
self-complacency averts all unpleasant
worry. It is her aim 10 be comfor-
table-like Flanagan, that is what she
is there for-and she generally man
ages to have her own way. Nobody
can analyze the methods Of the SUM-
mer girl. Like her, they are light and
airy How she attains her universal
Arbitration Or how she holds it when
once it has been attained even she is
unable to tell 1t is not because she is
learned, nor over witty, nor over wise
Nor that she is always either imagin~
ative or pretty. There are homeiY
members Of the class just as there are
medium-appearing and pretty ones,
and, taken altogether, they are very
much the same They do not do any
thing and they do it well It IS q
pleasure to watch them do it. The
saddest part about the summer girl is
that her life is brief. Coming just at
the season when the roses die to avoid
the heat OF the dog days, the end OF
August sees her glory well nigh gone
And when she has gone, whittier has
she f1edi The same waves wash the

All the Difference in the World.
Vanceburgh Courier.

The following interesting converse
ton occurred between a Maysvllle at
torney and a witness IN case, in
which q certain tree played a promi-
nent part.
Lanyer-Did you see this tree near
the roadside2
Witness-Yes, sir, I saw it very
plainly.
Lawyer-Et was very conspicuous,
then?
Witness-q; eli, can't say that.
saw the tree very plainly, though.
Lawyer-WelI, now I would like to
know why, if it was plain, it wasn't
conspicuous. What is the difference
between plain and conspicuous? Ans
wer that, will you?
Well" replied the witness, "it is
this. I come into the court rooHa and
glance over the bar. see you plain
ly among the other lawyers. although
you amt a darn bit conspicuous.

a DiSgusted Man.

Peter -Curto, recently discharged
from the Nevada state prison, feels
that he has been misused and defraud-
ed thereby, and protests against being
given his freedom against his will.
When Judge Field was in Carson, a
few days ago, presiding in the United
States district court, Curto's case came
up before HIM on a writ of habeas
corpus, and he ordered the discharge
of the prisoner on technical grounds
Internationally, under recent decis-
ions Of the United States supreme
court. Curto had been prisoner for
about two years, and wanted to stay
forty days longer or until the time of
his sentence should expire, but he was
remsrselessly turned out. According
to The Carson Appeal the poor fellow
made the following remarks on the
subject:
''l was learning the shoemaker's
trade when the id lawyer started in
to interfere. In few months more
would have been able to cut and make
q shoe all by myself. [ had no desire
to get out until [ could learn the
trade, and then I would have had
something to start vita. Had I been
able to make shoes in the first place
{ would not have been passing ceun-
terfeit money. When a man goes to
prison and wants to learn a trade I
think he should be allowed to stay
until he has mastered the trade. AS
for myself. you see, [ have spent
nearly two years there fer nothing.
I was just getting along nicely when
that cursed order came from Judge
Field. I suppose he meant well
enough, but it's rough on me-"

T0o Stingy for Comfort.

Talking about stinginess, said a
passenger from Ohio, 4 know of g
case down our way that takes the
berry Off the bush. It's true story,
tc0; none o yer made up yarns. La
the town where [ live there's a Mrs.
A, the widow of manufacturer,
who left her a big fortune, She has
an income of $50, 900 a year. which
ought to be enough to keep her from
want. Just after strawberries came
into the market, and when they were
selling st about is cents box, she
was taking dinner at a neighbours.
They had strawberries.
Oh says Mrs. A, but [ am
passionately fond of Strawberries. I'd
have them every day if could afford
it.
She wasn't joking either. She
was as much in earnest as If she had
been tae poorest woman In the state.
One of her hired girls says she makes
the cook skim the grease off the dish
water and use it to fry potatoes with.
That may be SANDER, but it is fact
that she end her son -in-law killed her
dead husbands favorite horse. which
had been in the family many years,
and which he had been SO fond of,
just because he couldn't work and
cost few cents q day to keep. The
dead mans favorite dog, that had
hunted with hina for years, and which
he requested to be always kept. was
sold for $40. When | consider that
these people are worth millions il
makes me satisfied to be poor. I'll be
darned if it don't"

The Value of an Education.
New York Sun.

Education, my dear friend" said
a minister to convict In the peniten.
tiary, lis powerful lever for good.
You should devote what time you can
get to obtaining knowledge. If you
had improved your opportunities
when young you might today be 3
respected and useful member of socie-
ty. But even now it is not too late.
What brought you to this unfortunate
place.
Forgery, sir, replied the convict.
Il was little too handy with the
pen"

One Of the greatest curiosities OF
the present day, found among the
pines of central Wiscor sin, was dis
covered near Knowlton few weeks
ago. It was In the form OF petrif-
ed squirrel, about the size of com
mon squirrel, and was taken from
the heart of tree by some woods
men, It was of brownish color, as
hard as a rock, and was as natural
as it had been in life," even
10 the kink in its long bushy tail: The
curiosity was carefully packed and
sent by William Mulhollen, its own
er, to President Cleveland, from
whom a personal letter OF thanks
has been received by the sender, say
ing that it would be carefully preserv-
ed aad placed in the museum at
Washington.

And a Very Good Reason.
Philadelphia Call

Indignant purehaser-See, here, sir;
I don't want this horse you sold me.
He balks. I can't get him over the
bridge.
Jockey That's the reason I sold
him. Why did you come to me for

II saw your advertisement in the
