- YOUTH AND AGE.

When am old. these hills that bound
My lifeYfthin their narrow round
Wilkbe the threshold of the door
yPhat leads to Freedom and to Fame,
And the wide world beyond no more
An idle dream, an empty name;
But from cares and troubles free,
Its glories and its joys shall see.
:,
The summer isles of southern seas;
Great battles, glorious victories;
The boundless prairies of the west,
Where red naeH hunt Z be buffalo;
Whatever fairest gifts and the best
The gods have given to men below
These, heart of mine, these shall we see,
In the brave days that are to be.
ts-4sa
When was young this narrow round
or hills glorious world did bound;
Here, on the quiet valley fioor, ss-ss
Idreamed Of Freedom and of Fame,
Ere yet learned they were no more
Than vain dream, an empty name;
In that glad, careless long ago, ty
The happy hours seemed all too slow.
/ have been wrecked in stormy seas;
Not mine life's glorious victories;
Gone the bright spell on boShood cast;
No more along the primrose way
wander, for my paths have passed
To this sad world of every day.
All, heart of mine, no more we know
The days and dreams of long ago

E,r,;s. and American Drinking.

Ask an American to come and have drink
and the chances are that if he refuses he will
do 90 on the grounds that he has just eaten.
ASK aa Englishman, and if he refuses it will
be for the reason that he has not eaten. The
fo.ynar almost invariably drinks on an empty
stomach, and the latter on full one. Then
an American, when he drinks spirits, takes
the ti staff aneat,% without any water, while the
Englishnan invariably dilutes his with water:

that he has one "unlucl;yn vehicle. II it is
taken out, the horse runs away, the wheel

or tho occupant comes hack angry or dis

cab that is cranky. 1t is notorious fact
that o locomotive win have srlky fit and
won't make time for several weeks; then,
having apparently recovered its good htimor,

Chicago Man at the Concert.

"My wife took me to Thomas concert and
made me sit in corner and listen to de-
scriptive music for three hours. The piece dc
resistance of the programme was move
ment from the Ocean Symphony by Rubin
STEM My wife said it represented storm at
sea, but failed to see where the representa-
ton came in. The blaring of the trombones
and the rolling of the drums were supposed to
be thunder--so my wife said. I told her that
the noise answered just as well for a passing
freight train or scene in a boiler factory,
but she said | was Philistine. The violins
walled in the most agonizing manner, and
this my wife said represented the fury of the
blast
81 defy anybody to detect anything like the
fury of the blast in tremolo ON the violins.
1t might as well do service for bicycle race,
or fight with hard gloves, or comic opera
chorus in distress as for the fury of the blast.
Tho shrieks of the piecolo and clarionet my
wife said portrayed the lightning; but never
heard lightning make such an unearthly
lioise, and it struck me that the walls of those
wood wind instruments very much more re-
seinbied the noise of u pig under a gate, My
wife heard, i'll her minds ear, Horatio, the
Signals of distress given by the shipwrecked
mariners, the singing of birds after the storm
and other poetic sounds, but it was all a
chaus of empty, meaningless sound to me, and
was very glad when it was over, that
might retire to the refectory and quaff q
bumper OF so=callcd beer. ~ Chicago News;

Of railroad signals which viii be understood

A Marvellous mathematician

Jim Townsend is noted Bohemian in

is genial, convivial soul, whose lies harm no

best jokes, including the story OF the man
who took a contract to glil Ii tunnel q cer-
tain distance, and having dug through the
hill in less distance than that specified In the
agreement completed his contract bv running

could propound the most difficult problem in

gross of lead pencils, and take a week to

work ON a new spectacular piece for the Porte
st. Martin He says that it is a comedy of
modern life with with scenes in the east, and
can be witnessed by children without danger

that it is impossible to take school girls there,

How Maud S. was wen Nigh Ruined.

How Maud S. Was Wen Nigh Ruined.
sit is not generally known" said Mr. Hill,
of the National Humane society, ''that the
greatest trotting horse in the world came near
being ruined by cruel treatment. When
George Stone, of Cincinnati found that a
Kentucky mare which he had purchased was
a very speedy animal, he hired a man to train
her. This man was cruel to the mare, and he
made but little .headway in developing her
speed She became obstinate and ugly, and
not only refused to work right in the sulky,
but was vicious in her stable Luckily this
blundering, cruel trainer was discharged, and
William Bair employed in his stead. Like
the true horseman that he is, Bair is utterly
unable to treat horse cruelty He at once
reversed the tactics of his predecessor, and
began to treat the mare with kindness. She
quickly responded with better behavior, and
in short time became affectionate and obe-
dent Whereas, her former master was
afraid to go into the stall unless she was se-
c,lrely tied, Bair taught her to pick apples
out of his coat pocket. As soon as the man
and beast had established these pleasant re-
lations, good results began to appear. The
mares speed developed rapidly, and she was
soon able to make the famous record OF 2:l0E9.
A year or SO more of cruel treatment and
Maud 8. would have been ruined.-Chicago

Not Settled Y0t.

ST. LOUIS, April 6.--After the depar. ture last night of Secretary Turner, of the General Executive Board, for the princi. pal strike centers of the Gould South west System, the remaining members of the committee announced the unanimous determination of the board to continue the present strike until an arrangement can be entered into with Hoxie restoring all strikers to their former position, with exception only of those who participated in acts of violence and the destruction of property since the strike began. The railway officials claim that the continu. ance of their regular business, which they say has now been fully restored, depends not in the least upon the action of any labor organization and that the freight blockade has been permanently raised, They also claim to have em. ployed sufficient number of new men to render them entirely independent, of the Knights and that the strike will come to nausht. A member of the General Executive Board, however, states that he is confident of the success of the strike, "for," says Turner, 'the roads cannot be opened without the Knights.
