ward. A few years ago Mrs. La Rue
married q rich old man. He died in
a short time and she lost his fortune
in Wall street. Then the greedy, grasp
ing adventures struck out blindly in
every direction. She was wanted in
one city for swindling and in another
for matchmaking, Society evssrgwhere
leagued itself against her.
A few days ago a Philadelphia court
threw out a suit brought by this wom-
an against a weak old man who
had placed himself in her power.
There was found forgery and perjury
in the case. and it collapsed before it
got fairly under way. AS the plaintiff
rushed from the court room in a fit Of
impotent rage, a bystander caught at
Georgian's arm and said:
.'That woman was Eugene La Rue.
She married old --, you know"
The Georgian was thunderstruck.
Could that frowsy, wrinkled old bag,
with gray hair and red eyes, be the
charmer who had once been the talk Of
two continents?
That was her last public appearance.
She will next be heard of at an asylum
or a prison, or is fished out of the
river and carried to the morgue.

Whence are We that come to us
In the Silly night
wherefore do you torture thus,
Phantoms OF delight?
Say, il We are only %fancies,
Why your presence so entrances
So deceives our sight? .
Where, oh, where's you stronghold, tell
In v hat fairy land?
Der what meads OF Asphodel
Snort your elfin bandP
Tell me truly fitting fancies,
Where do you hold those fairy dances,
On what sunny strand2
When you, with your subtle spell,
Hold our senses fast,
Absent comrades with us dwell,
Present seems the past;
Saw, if we are idle ~fancies,
WIN, when o%verpast the trance is,
Its Impressions last?
Wherefore bring before us still
Those from whom we sever?
Mean you that your tyrants will
Grant oblivion never?
CAV, il We are dreams and ~fancies,
why in dreams young Cupid's lances
Strike as deep as ever?
Tell me who your power confers,
Say from whom ye borrow
All your magic-harbengers
Ushering JOY or sorrow;
Why, if we're but tickle f~ancies,
These dream-faces, these dream1glances
Haunt us so tomorrow
Mortal mind may never know,
Mortal wisdom cite
Whence we come or whittier go
Spirits of the night;
Yet your mystery enhances,
And your witchery entrances

The sand Hill Crane Dance.

Chicago Advance. =
The last time / went hunting / wit
messed q scene which I had often heard
of but never seen. 1t was the dance
of the sand-hill crane. My companion
was q well known hunter, and, though
he is q physician, finds much time-he
lives in Nothern Iowa--to study the
ways and haunts of wildfowl. Now"
said he, II will show you within an
hour the famous dance of the sand
hill cranes" We swept over the prai-
RE in q way which / shall never forget,
the two ponies seeming to enjoy the
outdoor sport. At last we came in
sight of acrowd whosen noise had salut-
ed Jul ears for an hour. They were
on q slope which came down near the
lake. AL at once two stepped out
from the crowd, faced each other and
began clapping their wings, jumping
up and down as Indians do for q q
dance. All this time they were utter
ing cries which boys would understand
very cor to be cries of merriment.
Their companions greeted them with
shouts OF seeming laughter, and the
one jumping the highest and longest
was acknowledged champion OF the
day. When these two became exhaust
ed two others went through the same
performance. We watched them for
about an hour.

TOO MUCH COOPERATION.


1t was Celtic who started it. She

The house was large, to be sure, and
so much of it on the ground; one can
stand a great house up and down, for

that Senator Cameron was in It, and 1t is
known that number OF his closest

scheme. The sudden death of the Illinois
