Or if, upon some simmer day.
Mid song Of birds and hum of bees,

10 our dear old tryst beneath the trees.
And, staring back in glad surprise,

The old light shining in your eyes
1he sunlight tangled in your h .ir?
In vain, shall not see the glow
OF wine-|Fown eyes cr catch the smile
Of ruby lips but yet know
That you are near me all the while.
For SO loved you in that range
OF sunny years that my poor heart
Would bleed afresh and count it strange
To think God held Us far apart,
And 30, when evening shadows creep

Stockings.

A New York Herald man has
interviewed a comic opera actress
on the very interesting topic Of
stockings" Here is one Of the
secrets given away"
"There is no part cf an actress
wardrobe that she should give so
much attention aud study as stock
ings. There are certain rules
about dressing the legs that must
be followed TO secure a good eff
feet. Now, in fancy stockings the
lower part should be dark and the
upper part light. That gives the
effect of cmallness at the ankle
and plumpness at the calf. Re-
verse the position of the colors
and the leg will look as straight
and ungracefal as q stick. Then
if the dark shade does not go ali
round the lower part, it should be
at the back part and not in front,
for IN that it gives the ankle
a flat look. The hosiery that is
figured with an imitation boot
coming up to the swell OF the calf

"A JOURNALISTIC SUPERSTITION.

Do Newspaper Men Become White
Mules When they Lay Down Their
Fabers2
New Orleans States.
An editor out west seriously
remarks that he has good reason
to believe that newspaper men
become white males after death,
because the expression on the
countenance of white
mule has often reminded him
of some deceased brother
J0urnalist,especially the despond-
ont droop of the lower lip. He
also calls attention to the fact
that editors and white mules sell
dom die ana are awful hard to
kill.
The more we ponder over the
western editors words the frmer
are we convinced chat there ,is
something about him thatreminds
us OF a jaok~ss, Dat at the same
tlfe we ere willing to admit that
S'lA superstitious idea concerning
the transnigration Of an editor's
soul prevails in the west aud to a
great extent in Texas. In that
State whenever newspaper man
sees a white mule he invariably
points to him and says:
"LOoK AT THAT OLD EDITOR
over wonder pulling d load OF cord
wood" ard if the mule happens
to pass near him he touches his
Aat respectfully and says, "How
are you, colonel" and the aged
and solemn animal always flaps
his ears in a friendly manner, ap-
parently 10 recognition of the sa-
lutte, There are many Texas
journalists, among them Major
Dan McGa,y,of the Houston Even
ing Age, who arc thoroughly con-
vinced that after death an editor
is transformed into an elegant
milk-white mule of gigantic stat
ure and dignified bearing. Major
McGary, who no doubt has de-
voted much Of his time to institu-
ting searching inquiries, saws that
after years of patient investiga-
ton he has never himself seen
or met any one who has seen a
white mule dead. He has also
frequently and publicly stated
that he has never failed, as well
as be can remember,
TO LIFT HIS HAT
in the presence of white mule,
and every time he did 50 the
mals's eyes frightened with a
happy smile, and the animal ut
tered very intelligent and joyful
3ray, and tried hard to speak to
him.
Major McGary may be sincere
III his belief that when he turns
mp his toes he will become a white
mule, and perhap ps,is greatly con-
soled in it. There are thousands
Of editors who have a perfect hor-
ror of death, for the reason they
fear the next world, either in the
upper or lower end OF it, they
will be forced to continue the
newspaper business; therefore the
idea Of becoming o white and un-
dying mule with such light work
as pulling plow CT dray to per-
form Is embraced by them with
eager delight.

THAT OTHER FELLOW.

That other fellow is in every
contest whether it be a dog fight,
politics, business or love.
Did you ever see a dog fight
where all were agreed as to which
dog should Whip?
Were you ever at a trial OF a
law suit that there was not that
other fellow beiigerent as a hor-
net ?
If you are YOU ru nning pen
nut stand, that other fellow is op-
posing and getting trade that you
ought to get and would have but
for him.
You so into a political conven-
tion,and that. fellow is around and
gets what by Lights belongs to you.
Finally YOU get after the girl
I created for you. Heavens fat ia in
favor of your having her-indeed,
she was intended from birth for
you by tho Great aOmuipotent.
You knew her at sight. She was
the marrow of your hfe the day
you saw her. She rounded out
your existence, and she made you
fesl like unit and only she. All
this you felt by prescience.
Yoas naturally "go" for that
girl. You waste time upon her.
You study her likes and dislikes ;
you hamor her to peanuts, ice
cream, boat-rides, Iances, theatre,
and repeated, and each again re-
peated. The more you see her
the more you are sure heaven
intended her for you and you for
her. You are convinced, you are
assured, yol know. It has pass
ed beyond belief with you; you
feel it in your soul. After all
this you awake to the fact that
she has another fellow. The other
fellow is after her too, and she
favors both. She eats the ice
cream Of both. She chooses
which? You are on the nettles-
you are on the anxious seas-you
are in hade5, all because of that
other fellow.
"fhat other fellow" has been at
tie bottom Of more trouble, been
the cause OF moro jealousy, more
disputes, more anger, hate, more
OF the real Inner cussedness Of
human life than any cause that
can be named or mention ed.
Ii there is a creature to be
hated, to be- justly maligned,
anlmad7erted, mathematical,
traduced, derided, condemned,
abused and spoken against at all
times and upon all occasions, he
is that other fellow. The Bible
would be an unsupported, mean
ingless syllogism with him thrown
out or wanting Millions Para
dis Lost loses its rhapsody, and
lie itself sinks into n vapid,
spiritless game, but for chat
other fellow"
1t is that other fellow that gives
spirit to the business of our cities,
to the contests Of our courts, to
the political battles of our COM
monwealths, even to the conquests
of love itself.
Life would hardly be worth
living but for the gamey spirit Of
uncertainty and two-sidedness
infused into it BY chat other fell
low."
Here's to that other fellow.
May he always make a warm
game, but never winl But he
sometimes does.
