A Retired Beggar.

An old woman whose face had been
familiar for years about the street as a
beggar had been missingfor some time,
and kind-hearted young fellows OF the
Oil Board, who had known her well,
marked her absence. After a while she
reappeared, lookingmuch younger and
free from any crook in the back. Her
rags had given place to tidy dress OF
neat black cloth, and she nodded
pleasantly to her old friends, who
hardly dared to believe they saw cold

however, that she had begged for TWEEN

How Jay Gould Buys Pictures.
from a New York Letter

From a New York letter.
One thing that Jay Gould dislikes
immensely is to feel that ANYBODY has
taken advantage of his millionaireism
1t Is related that, when a mental EN-
ploye asked for more than usual wages,
the refusal was angry, because Gould
wouldn't pay In a regular way, a cent
more than poor neiehbor would have
TO Tor the same service; but, on learn
ing that the family of the man really
needed the money, he sent by third
hands a liberal gift The same feeling
actuated HIM when he made up his
mind to buy some paintings at the
auction sale of the Seney collection
What would it matter to him whether
he paid thousand dollars more or
less for picture? Nothing, so far as
the money was concerned, but a great
deal TO his pride. He wasn't going to
be worsted in bargain, even for art 5
sake. In his preliminary visit, when
the collection was on exhibition, he
took pains to give the impression that
he had no notion OF making any pur-
chases, and he was not at the sale at
all. When the millionaire buys
pictures the cynics are apt to say that,
OF course, he used no good taste, but
simply patronizes art in order to do
fashionable thing. This is often I'M
just. Gould bought six pictures from
the Seney gallery, and with discrimina-
ton, too. He did not bid them off
himself. Broker Chapman did that
for him, having received instructions
what pictures to take if they could be
had under amounts fixed by Mr.. Gould,
who is in everything a close bargainer.
They were among the most valuable
and high-priced pictures sold, and were
not OF those the genuineness OF which
were questioned. The total paid for
the six by Seney was $50, 200; by
Gould, $21 ,255. So you will see that
no money was wasted by Gould

In listless and dreamy hour;
And was watching the sun chase with kisses
The tears OF a passing shower.
girl through the half-dry street walking,
Chose her path with needless delay;
And cried aloud in vexation:
Take the sunny side OF the way.
Sunny side-the words ike an echo,
Ran on in my heart all the day.
Whatever life's trials and troubles,
Take the sunny side of the way.
The flowers, they live in the sunlight,
The aston and cowslip, | know,
The violet and dainty white daisy,
IN the darkness could never grow
And the chidren--see the reflection
OF the sun in their sparkling eyes;
1t fingers in love on their tresses,
And gladdens and brightens their skies.
And shall We, less wise than the children,
Be sad in our trouble and tears,
When Gods light, His love, has been sent US,
To brighten and cheer all our years?
Is ii right or Just TO our Maker,
To dwell in dark clouds and repine,
When if We would lift our eyes heavenward,
We would see love shining divineF
Let us then as we travel onward,
Though clouds often darken our day,
Trust in God, and walk gladly with Him,
On the sunny side of earth's way.

THREE STAGES OF LIFE.
BY MAY FLEIsCHMAN.

There is a time in life
The brightest days Of youth
When we are ever searching
For something more than truth;
When our imagination
Puts beauty over all,
Then life is at its zenith,
Ere hollow mock ries pail.
There Is a time in life
When man i like the clay,
Which We can mold with care
Or spoil and throw away;
For il a careless sculptor
Should take the work in hand,
he'd spoil that bit of nature,
Though for a god he planned,
But. il he be a sculptor
Who knows the vital art,
He'll mold that bit OF clay
Into "A noble heart.
There is a time in life
When man looks back and signs
For something left undone,
Or something done unwlse;
But then whate'er betide Us,
Whate'er our lives beget,
We always leave behind us
Some footprints Of regret.

Miss Matilda rushed to her assist
ance. while the quondam Theocrastus
took advantage OF the confusion and
stole ANONYMOUSLY away.
Under pretense of owning the house
himself, he had sought to marry the
widow, who was known to possess
snug sum OF money herself.

last, an sort O. settled down, like he
meant to stay" unused Mrs. Fennil to
herself few weeks later. "But Unjust

some to have her round every time he

And she took the first opportunity
to speak to her sister-in-law on the
subject.
81 thought you was a-goin' to look
fur another home, Tilda," she began.
Hey you found one vet ?"
Yves, said Miss Matilda, hesitat-
inglv. "But-''
Why don't you go to it, then ?"
cried Mrs. Fennil, sharply. Il don't
need you any more; an if / marry
Nat, as s'pose l shall, he won't be
likely to want you round"
"Oh, Henrietta ~ cried Miss Matilda,
tnrning very red. II didn't like to
tell you, but Nat has asked me to
marry him, and"
Bang went the door. The widow
had fled to her own room; and, much
distressed, yet with thrill OF happi-
ness at the heart, Miss Matilda made
the simple preparations for her we'd
ding.
There was quiet ceremony that
evening at the little country parson-
age-no wedding feasts, nor presents,
nor invited guests. But the newly
married couple who issued therefrom
felt a serene contentment with their
lot.
And Miss Matilda had found her
home.

A Tranquil Nervous System

Can never be possessed by those whose dlges-
tive and sssinIlatiye organs are in state of
chronic disorder. Weak stomaohs make weak
nerves. To restore viGor and quietude to the
latter, the first must be fnvigorsted and regu-
lated. The ordinary sedatives may trsnquilize
the nerves for q while, but they can never, like
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, remove the causes
Of nervous debility. That superb fnvigorant
and corrective of disordered conditions of the
Rilnentary organs has also the effect OF i'm
p.tt.ng tone to the nerves. The delicate tissues

ten, draw strength from the fund Of vitality

 Uncle Billy has secured q go year lease on the Propicia mine about sixty mics from Arispe, and twelve below the head of the Sonora river in old Mexico. The ledge is said to be 2dd feet wide, assaying 45 per cent in galena, and between $14O to $50 in silver. A shipment last July of eighteen tons to the Benson shelter gave as returns $l4O per ton. The present work on the mine con- sists of two shafts l45 and 16O feet. Botl, are in ore.
 It IS Mir. Milikin's intention to put force of l2 or I5 men immediately to work, and make shipments of ore to the Kansas City Smelling & Rctin- ing Co. at Argentine, Kas., where most favorable rates have been re- ceived.
