Some of the objections to Mr.. Bayard
are those no makes against himself.
He might imperil in the place Presi-
dental future which he has some cause
for confidence IL awaiting if he holds
on here be is, and practically he is a
Senator for life II the Presidency
should fail him. Some say be Is too
cranky. Others say he would be a
cross. grained mentor. We do not at.
tach much weight to the politicians
objections. But if Mr.. Bayard him self
wi shes 10 be left out-well, why not
leave i'm out?

CELIA THAXTER in 81. Nicholas.
The autumn night is dark and cold;
The wind blows loud; the year grows
old
The dead leaves whirl and rustic chill;
The crikets chirp is long and shrill
The skies that were so soft and warm
Mutter and bode of gathering storm.
And now, within the homes of men
The sacred hearth fires CLEAN again,
And joy and cheer and friendship sweet
Within the charmed circle meet.
The children watch with new delight
The first fire, dancing redly bright,
That drives away the dark and cold;
And Grace's slender fingers hold
A braided fan from Mexico,
To make the broad flames flare and glow.
Alert, alive, they leap and run
Like fierce bright streamers of the sun;
They shine on Roberts placid face,
And tint the pensive cheek of Grace,
And chase away the doubt and gloom
From every corner of the room.
0 pleasant thought that far and near
Are gathering round each heartstone
dear
Bright faces, happy smiles, and eyes
Sweet with the summers memories
o holy alter-fres of home!
Tho far and and wide the children roam,
Your charm for them shall still endure
With love so strong and peace so sure.

He Took Whiskey.
AFTER TAKING WATER AT TIE MOUTH OF A
COWBOYS PISTOL.

A nobby and snobbish MILFORD of Brit
ish extraction travelled from Big Horn
with us and Abe Idelman on the stage
coach early this week. Milford was ex-
cessively exclusive. He wouldn't be So
cial and spoke to no one except the two
"John Henry" servants he had with him
and was altogether as unpleasant as his
snobbishness could make him. Al din
ner station there were lot of jolly cow
boys on lark, and one of them "treat-
ing" everybody, asked the Englishman
to drink.
Of course MILFORD hautily refused. The
cowboy displayed a dangerous-looking
six-shooter and very impressively insist
ed on his drinking. "But cawn't, you
knaw," was milord's reply. Mr.. Cowboy
brought the muzzle in dangerous prox-
unity to the knot in which milord's
brains were supposed to lie hidden some
where, and then he said he'd drink-he'd
take soda water you know.
"Soda water nuthin, said Mr.. Cowboy.
you'll take straight whiskey."
"But, aw, this American whiskey, 1
cawn't swallow it, you know"
"Well," said the cowboy, "I'll make a
hole in the side of your head so that we
can pour it in" and he began to draw on
Milford, and said, MILFORD said, "aw, that'll
do, I'll drink it."
Then the cowboy invited milord's SER
wants to drink, which Mortified him.
"They don't drink, you know" he said.
"Well, we'll see whether they do or not"
said Mr.. Cowboy. "The chances are you
don't give 'em a 'hopportunity.' Come
up here, you fellows, and guzzle some,"
and the two John Henrys, with little
show of reluctance, but really glad to get
a drink, came up and the cowboy passed
a tumblerful of torchlight procession
whiskey for Milford, and the servants
poured for themselves.
Then the cowboy made the John Hen
rys clink glasses with Milford and all
drank and there was great fun. Milford
tried after that to be very jolly and the
stimulant assisted him decidedly. But
in the coach he fell back into his exclu-
siveness and retained it throughout, and
has probably got it yet.

Fair Knitters Of Stockings.
THE LATEST FASHIONABLE CAPRICE OF
PRETTY SOCIETY GIRLS.


The fashionable girls in Philadelphia
are enthusiastic just now about knitting
stockings. Time they formerly spent in
calling or novel reading is now devoted
to manufacturing the cutest kind of
dainty silk stockings of various colors
and sizes, marked with charming clocks
in silver or gold thread. Many of them
have forgotten, for the time being, their
stupid but picturesque poodles; have al
most discarded afternoon drives through
the beautiful avenues of Fairmount Park
and have become experts in judging silk
threads, for patience and time are re-
quired to match delicate shades in shops,
and caution is necessary to get right
qualities. These maidens who knit be-
cause they like it, not for hard cash, sell
dom sew alone, for knitting circles" are
part of the programme, and these gath
erings are not surpassed as gossiping CEN
tres, at least so rumor hath it, by the
most ancient of church sewing meetings.
A Daily Nelcs reporter was favored with
Il glimpse of one of these charming gath
erings, and the vision was almost as gor-
geous as the dream of an Oriental harem.
Gathered around low table in a Wal
nut street drawing-room were five fash
ionable maidens, dressed in dainty, loose
wrappers of figured satin, plying their
tiny needles with the grace of fairies. In
charmingly unconventional attitudes
they sat, for they thought they were
alone, and one lovely brunette half re-
clined on sofa under a hanging silver
lamp, an ideal of womanly beauty, as her
luxuriant hair flowed, unconfned, over
her shoulders and the eyes of her grim
ancestors in stately oil paintings above
her head, for the party was at her home,
looked down upon her. Ten snowy hands
picked up the silken stitches as quickly
as experienced operators could have
done; then bright eyes danced with fun
as five tongues chatted, all at once, and
the stockings gradually heightened.
Fine stockings they were-nothing
poor in their quality, workmanship or
tasteful colors. Some were light blue,
one was pink and one was cream color.
of course their shape was perfection, for
were they not to be worn by the knit
