She Wanted Pheasant.

Deception is development of civil
ization, and the higher the refinement
the more general the deception. The
impecunious dude takes his sweetheart
into restaurant. "Why. George, here's
pheasant; should so like to eat pleas
ant; let us have some pheasant.
Pheasant being $3.50, George immedi
ately finds some polite and touching
reason why she should not eat pleas
ant, or he tells her it's only on the bill
of fare. 1t isn't even there in this
country, but that doesn't make any diff
ference to this story. The hoodlum
and his girl go into the restaurant. She
wants pheasant. Pheasant" calculates

The Box or FIrewoo5.

When Ole Bull, the renowned yio-
linist, was staying in Paris, in 1910, he
returned home late one evening from q
concert, and as the night was cold he
ordered his man to mako fire in his
room. The latter dragged toward the
fireplace a huge box, on which the
word "Firewood" was painted in large
letters. In answer to Ole Bulls
astonished inquiry the servant told him
that the box had been delivered tn t
day at noon by his masters orders, as
he thought. On being broken open
the box was found to contain twenty
two violins and the following letter /:
Great Master: The undersigned, be-
ing members of various amateur phil
harmonic societies, hereby declare that
they will henceforth cease to perform
on the accompanying instruments. The
same wood from which Ole Bull can
draw life, love, sorrow, passion, and
melody is only to be regarded as-fuel
for the flames in the hands of the un-
dersigned, who therefore request the
maestro to make an auto-da-fe of the
Enclosures, and to look upon the as
cending smoke as incense offered to his
genius by penitent dabblers in the
noble art. This curious epistle bore
the signatures of twenty-five young
men. Three days afterward Ole Bull
gave dinner, to which he invited all
the senders of the valuable @firewood.
Each guest had lying before him on
the table one of the violins referred to,
and by its side gold ring with the in
scription, Solitude and Perseverance"
"a piece of seasonable advice to the
faint-hearted dilettante, and symbolic
indication of the means by which the
virtuoso himself had attained to fame.

on her own exertions several months
ago by the death of her husband, who
was the village depot agent at the time
of his demise. Although the railroad
was in no way responsible for the
agents sudden death, the vacancy at
the depot was promptly rendered the
widow. The pay was 81 day, wifi b
in the country is a good salary for q
woman. The position was accepted,
and the lady depot agent was duly in
stalled. She receives and forwards
freight, sells tickets, and attends to
whatever business falls TO her lot, and
is giving entire satisfaction to the road
and to the public. The idea of lady
depot agent swinging lantern around
the platform of the depot, meeting
trains and answering tiresome ques-
tons for dull public seemed novel
and heroic to me. / mentioned the
circumstance and expressed my admi-
ration in the presence of some lady
friends. / thought L had found real
heroine, and was quite surprised by the
lack of enthusiasm which followed nv
recital.
After q pause one of the ladies re-
marked: "The widow who took her hus-
bands place at the depot deserves great
praise, but there are many household
vacancies to be filled and few depots to
be kept. Three years ago knew a girl
"a graceful, slight anemone, with fair,
smooth hair; nervous, cold little
hands, and big, deep-blue eyes sensi-
lively mirroring all emotions that
stirred her gentle heart. never rested
my eyes on her graceful little form
without thinking somehow of the
Puritan maiden, Priscilla and the
charm OF her pure, sweet nature. To-
day met my little friend, and she was
of Grape her shining gold hair and ten
der blue eyes. This meek girl, this |
fair maiden Priscilla, all stepped in

own heart and hands the cares aud |
duties of mother to her young orphan

of it, Iago, the pity of it, in both cases;
only the budding flower loses the Joy
of slowly unfolding to the soft sun
shine and rain of LIES spring time,
while the widow has known both the
tender bliss of youths May-days and
the calm delights of the summers
fruitage. One is the heroism that dares
the other is the fortitude that en-
dures. But girl who patiently and
lovingly devotes LIES sweetest season
to the good of others, setting her own
aside in sacred silence,
earns the tenderest sympathies and
sweetest favors that friendship can
