Il country road just outside of Boston, and
CHANGED to stop at a farm house to enquire
my way. An old lady came to the door and,
having given me the information I desired,
politely asked me to have so she expressed
it, "a drink and a rock" By q "drink" l
rather supposed she meant glass of milk.
The crock" was luxury the nature of which
was beyond imagining Satisfied. however,
that it was something inviting, accepted
the offer with thanks, and having tied my
horse, went inside. My hostess thereupon
requested me 10 be seated in her best rocking
chair, and poured me out glass of water.
Now" she said "you can have drink and a
rock, and rest yourself as you like" Certain
ly this is the most inexpensive entertainment

THE STORY OF LIFE.

BY JOHN SAKE.
Say, what is life: IT'S to be- born,
A helpless babe to greet the light
With sharp wall as IL the morn
Foretold a cloudy noon and night,
To weep. to sleep, and weep again.
with sunny smiles between-and then?
And then apace the infant grows
To be laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy, despite his little woes,
Were he but conscious of his Joy?
To be, in short, from two to ten.
merry, moody child-and them
And then in coat and trousers clad
To learn to say the decalogue.
And break 1t, an unthinklng lad.
with mirth and mischief all agog,
A truant oft by field and fen.
And capture butterflies-and then?
And then, increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, youth full grown,
a hero in mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own,
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sin-aud them
And then, at last, TO be man.
To fall in love. to WOO and wed!
With seething brain to scheme and plan.
To gather gold or toll for bread,
To sue for fame with tongue and pen,
And gain or lose the prze-and then?
And then in gray and wrinkles old.
To mourn the speed OF life's decline,
To praise the scenes our youth beheld,
And dwell in memory of lang syne,
To dream awhile with darkened ken,
To drop into his graveyard them

Origin of the Sabbath

The early Christians observed the first day
of the week in commemoration of Christ's
resurrection. They also observed the Jewish
Sabbath in accordance with custom. After
they became quite numerous they began to
neglect the Jewish day, combining their OBJ
servance to the other, which they called the
Lords day. In the year 321 the Emperor
Constantine officially recognized the day by
an edict ordering that all work should cease
on it except necessary husbandry. The EN-
peror Theodosius about 3S2 ordered that all
legal business should beput aside on that day.
SO it came to be the one day of rest for Christ.

JOINED THE PooI..
The Lincoln Newspaper Union that was
started a few weeks ago with much flourish
of trumpets and the announcement that
weekly publishers would from it get relief
from the existing pool in ready prints, has,
after a very short life, been absorbed by the
Western Newspaper Union and will here
after be a branch house of that institution.
The new Lincoln Newspaper Union had, in
the short time of its history, worked up a list
of 1903 papers in the state, enough to warrant
it in handling a good business. The stock
holders have sold at a good profit and the old
pool prices will return TO power.

The meaning of the nam Amerigo has
often been discussed, the only thing GER
ain being that it is one of those names of
Teutonic origin, like Humberto, Alfonzo,
Grimaldi, OF Garibaldi, so common in
northern Italy, which testify to the Gothic
or Lombard conquest. Americ, which
occurs as early as 744 A. D., is probably
a contracted form of the name Amalaric,
borne by n king of the Visigoths, who
died in 531. A Bishop Enrich was
present Mt the council of Salisbury in S07.
and an Americas Balistarius is mentioned
in the Close Rolls Thirteenth century,.
1t has been conjectured hat the stem
is i'm, from which we get the name of
Emma. The meaning of this is not
known with certainty, though Ferguson
thinks it may denote '%'strife'' or ''noise."
Since, however, the name is probably of
Gothic origin, and since the Amalungs
were the royal race of the Ostragoths, it
is more likely that the stem is ANAL,
which was formerly thought to mean
without spot" but is now more plaus-
IDLY connected with the old Morse ami,
'labor, y "work." The suffice rio, cog
nate with rex, reich and rick, means
''rich' or powerful, " and therefore the
most probable Specification of Amerigo is
strong for labor. "-Isaac Taylor in
Notes and Queries.

Dog fanciers could tell very funny
stories about their experience with ladies
and their pets. One well known fancier
here says that a wealthy dame from
Fifth avenue will come bowling down to
his shop in her carriage, and, with tears
in her eyes, beg him to save the life of
her adored pug. He promises her he
will do his best, and, after kissing the
black nose of the little beast and leaving
many instructions for his welfare, she
drives away. The dog fancier then ex-
amines the pug carefully and finds that
it is suffering from being overfed and
getting no exercise, so he puts it on low
rations for a week and has his boy run
it up and down the yard for an hour or
so every day until it works some of the
flesh off its bones. Then he sends it back
to the grand dame, who is delighted to
pay $25 for the wonderful transforma-
ton that has taken place in her pet.
People who keep large dogs are apt tc
have more common about their care
than those who keep toy animals, and
they do not feed them on meat and candy
all day long, SO they escape the illness
that comes from too much pampering.-

porsia,s Domestic Spy System.

1 found that the easiest way ~ keep
Persian servants or employees in order
was to encourage the spy system and
listen to informers among them. AS
they are quarrelsome and jealous, after
acting on this principle many of my diff
culties were lessened. So great is the
feeling which sometimes exists in a Per-
sian menage among the servants, that l
have known of n woman to place a dozen
leeches under her hair and then bring
complaint of having been struck on the
head and grievously hurt by q fellow
servant. The charge seemed about to be
~substantiated and the alleged offender
punished, when the judge, aware of the
character of the Persian domestic, ordered
an examination. 1t wa then discovered
that the blood streaming down the face
of the moaning woman was caused by
lceches actually puncturing her temples
at that very time. The case was dis.
missed.-S. G. W. Benjamip's Letter.

1t is now over four years since Efie
Ellsler appeared last in Cheyenne and our
people will doubtless throng to the opera
house next Saturday evening to welcome
the charming little lady's return. She
appears in her latest success, Woman
AGAINST Woman. OF the play the New
York World says: 1T is a drama of the
heart; its purpose is lofty, and its pathos
is genuine. While the scene is laid in
England and the characters are essentially
English, its theme is one which appeals
to human nature in its finer traits. There
are weaknesses here and there it is true.
More literary excellence might be infused
into the lines; the plot is not a remarkable
one, nor is the treatment novel. 1t is a
plain story of plain people. but the main
characters are distinctively drawn. the ac-
ton is smooth and the expedients are
natural. The same paper likewise says:
mot since Miss Ellsler surprised the
metropolis by her performance of Hazel
ktrke has she had an opportunity to dis
play her undoubted talents until now"
