Two Giddy Girls.

On train in Ohio were two giddy
young.girls. In the seat in front Of
them sat man. The mans overcost
was on the seat beside him. As the
train stopped at station the man got
up and walked out. The girls saw
him go into the station, but they did
not see the man any more.
"There, he's gone and left his over
coat said one of the girls.
"It's too bad" said the other, "for
it's such nice one. And he may
need it to keep his little body warm"
Then the giddy girls giggled, and
when the conductor came through
informed him Of the mans loss. The
official, with the indifference of his
class, merely said that would be all
right.
"It's shame," calculated one Of
the girls. "We'll take care of it fol
him, won't we Kit? Well take it tc
the station agent in our town and
maybe he can restore ii to the young
man."
So the girls cared for the overcoat
They pulled it over Oh their seat
And in doing so they happened tt
glance into the pockets of the gar
ment and saw there a miscellaneous
assortment of letters and things.
Then the girls looked at each otbe
as they laid the coat over the seat be
tween them. But after that neithe
seemed to be happy. Their giggle
disappeared, and their was strange
dissatisfied look in their eyes. The,
read fitfully at novels. They yawned
But every few minutes their eye
wandered toward the coat pocket.
Gentle woman was never intende,
to withstand such temptations, an
ere long small, eager hand wa
reaching into the depth Of that ovel
coat pocket. AS it came out doze,
letters with it. Some of these letter
contained photographs, one lock {
hair, and several expressions whic
made the two giddy girls laugh. Jus
as they had dived deep into the cor
tents of the pocket, and with cage
eyes were drinking in the feast fc
their curiosity, they heard hehin
them whistle, at first low and increC
ulous, then louder and louder wit
amazement.
The giddy girls turned their head
and their stood the owner of the owe
coat and the letters. de had been i

You nnaE.

Though winter winds may whistle
Or summer roses blow,
The rose may be thistle
For aught that we may know,
Time alone is noticed,
For the hours too swiftly fly,
And that is all we care for
When together-you and l.
The trees may droop their branches
Beneath a steady rain,
or throw their shadows Ger us
When the san comes out again;
They may be bare and shivsring
Meath an icy winter sky,
But our hearts heed net the seasons
When together--you and l.
All, yes! see the yiOlets-
They tell me OF your love;
Perhaps we'd rather linger
In the shelter Of the grove.
Young Love has glances far too sweet
For colder hearts to spy
So Wen keep our stolen kisses
And our secrets-you and /.

Secretary Lamar has not been at

week. II is given out that he 10 "only
slightly indisposed" and is able to

partment at his house. A very inti-
mate friend of the Secretary said II
don't think the people ought to
be deceived about Mr.. Lamar's true
physical condition. He is very i'll
man. He has never fully recovered
iron the attack he had at his home
in Mississippi about two and ahalf years
ago. At that time hislife was despair
ed of. He suffers from kidney all
ment. While ! do not believe the
Secretary is in any immediate dan.
