NOT FOR SALE.

He stands six feet, trifie more,
Broad shouldered, eagle eye,
He bravely swings his line to face
Life's storm, without sigh.
His heart is tender as child's;
His love, it cannot fail;
He's one of natures noblemen-
The man that's not for sale.
They sent him once to represent
His district, and tits said
A lobbyist requested that
He'd note the bill next read.
He faced the polished gentleman
With glare that made him quail:
II pardon the mistake" he said,
But, friend, I'm not for sale."
A hundred thousand dollar church,
Whose pulpit well he filled,
Had an official board who were
Eccentric and self-willed.
They made very trite request,
Which seemed could scarcely fail
To move him; but he kindly said:
Brethren, I'm not for sale J"
He's moving grandly on through life,
And making tracks of white,
His silver hair CLEANS like a sheaf;
His scars are few from strife.
He looks the Devil in the face
Until disheartened, pale,
His Majesty, disguised, says:
I've failed; he's not for sale"

Indians az Military Instructor

In department orders Gen. Nelson A.
Miles describes the results Of the raiding
maneuvers practiced by his troops in
Arizona and New Mexico during the
months Of September, October and No
vember Under the system which he
introduced mounted party was sent out,
and after q prescribed time forces were
dispatched in pursuit, while other troops
from garrisons ahead had been notified to
lie in wait along the generally indicated
route in order to capture the raiders. This
plan brought into play the highest quail
ties Of practical soldiership both among
pursuers and pursued, while the COMPETE
tive character Of the exercise gave it the
interest of an athletic contest. Exact
rules were prescribed as to what should
constitute capture, and judges accom-
panied all the parties.
Gen. Miles finds, in reviewing the sue
cessive operations, in which fresh party
was sent out whenever capture was
effected, that they will be Of ''incalculable
advantage in the future" The raiding
parties sought, as hostile Indians would
do, to mislead pursuers, while these latter
exerted themselves by every device to cap
ture the supposed hostiles. The result
was to make the troops familiar with .
large section Of country and to acquire
skill in trailing. Gen. Miles desires his
forces to fully learn the art Of war as
practiced by the Indians.-Washington

The New Emperor as an Athlete.

The new German emperor ls-or was
before stricken with his present ominous
malady-a splendid athlete, both on land
and in water. Years ago. says writer
in Galignani's Messenger, Il was swim
ming in the river near Cologne, when a
youthful giant, leaping into the water
from the scafOlding of the military bath,
came down upon us with a terrific splash,
greatly disturbing the equanimity of old
Father Rhine. The noisy arrival was the
heir to the Prussian and German thrones,
a passionate sportsman alike in the liquid
as on frozen water. Stretching himself
full length, and striking out with extraor-
binary vigor, he made several circuits
Of the extensive basin, and presently be-
gan to dive in the most accomplished and
effectual style.
ga bevy of small boys, who had been
jumping into the water after him, intent
upon sharing the honors of the bath with
the illustriOus visitor, next attracted his
attention. Seated upon floating log, he
would skim along the greenish waves,
surrounded by the delighted youngsters
and perpetrating all manner of tricks
upon them, like Neptune playing with
Tritons; or, changing the game, he would
place the boys upon the log and drag them
and push them about amid the exultant
shouts Of the dripping host. When he
left at last, the boys hurried after him in
a body, and, dressing with the utmost ex
petition, stood awaiting the prince as he
emerged from his cabin. Amused at their
hearty cheers, and averse from cutting On
terra firma those who had been boon COM
panions in a less stable element, the
crown prince invited his juvenile friends
to the Aquatic restaurant and stood treat

C0ntaSiousnesa Of Human EmptionA
Every days experience may supply
fresh illustrations Of the immense infu-
ence of contagion in the development Of
all human emotions. Nor is it by any
means to be set down as weakness pecul-
lar to or Characteristic of feeble mind,
to be blindly susceptible of such con-
tagion- Even the strongest wills are bent
and warped by the winds Of other mems
passions. persistently blowing in given
directions. Original minds, gifted with
what the French call lesprit prime
sautier, are perhaps, indeed, affected
rather more than less than commonplace
people by the emotions of those around
them, because their larger natures are
more open to the sympathetic shock. Like
ships with every sail set, they are caught
by every breeze. 1t is question of de-
gree how much each man receives Of in
fuence from his neighbors.
Moreover, be it carefully noted, 1t Is
,nly by contagion, and not by any kind OF
authority or command, that emotions can
lie communicated. 1t is matter Of COM
mon observation that any effort to direct
the emotions to order has a tendency to
produce the opposite effect to the one in
tended. To challenge man to be brave
is to make him nervous; to bid him ad-
mire person or work of art is TO sug-
gest to him to be critical; to command
young man or woman to love the elect of
their parents is to chill any nascent in
clination in the desired direction, and to
make it a duty for Montagus TO hate
Capulets is to start the loves Of Romeo
and Juliet. We must give the feeling We
desire. We cannot possibly impose it.

Grief Of an Actress.

Speaking of actresses, the public only
gets faint and occasional ideas OF the per-
sonal griefs which are often masked by
the mimic joliity of the stage. An actress
at city theatre was engaged the other

Of manner and frequent laughter. The
job was half done for the night, and the
recess between acts was nearly over, when

AN EASTERN LEGEND.

At his beloved's door he knocked, unheeding
The mocking echoes drifting idly by;
Then called q voice--the while his glad heart
bounded
"Ah, who is therey' He answered, sit is l."
''Think not these walls" the sweet, clear voice
resounded
''These palace walls will me and thee contain"
The shining door stood barred! His fervent
pleading
Was spent in vain.
In solitude, where desert sands are cleaning.
Burned on his changeless love through patient
years;
Once more he comes, and knocks with trembling
fingers;
Once more his soul q thrilling music hears
Once more that voice across the silence fingers
"Ah, who is theres'' He answers, 1t is thoul"
The door flies back! The sudden splendor, stream
ing,
Enfolds him now!

What Is the latest novelty in the
trunk businessf" was asked by a reporter
of a well known dealer in that line of
goods few days ago.
The very latest thing. I believe. Ia
called the bureau trunk, and Is made es-
pecially for the use of ladies going to the
country or seashore. where the accommo-
dations are likely to be more or less
cramped in the matter Of room. think
1t about the neatest thing of the kind
ever put on the market. and. to use q
hackneyed expression. fills a long felt
want for those who are practically forced
to live in q trunk for three months in
In the YER"
The dealer then drew from under the
counter a large rectangular shaped trunk.
It was thirty six inches long and of pro-
portionate depth and width. with q fat
top. and was covered completely with
light colored leather with silver clasps
and mountings. although of large size,
the trunk was unusually light in weight
and was easily handled. while the central
bands which surrounded it were a sufi-
Gent guarantee Of its stability.
But it was on the inside of the affair
that the popularity which gives it the
made apparent at once when the lid was
raised. In the lid were two shallow but
good sized drawers for the reception of
the more delicate articles of women's ap-
parel, while above these was a deeper
drawer with compartments for hats and
bonnets. The body of the trunk was spa
cious and capable of holding large guam
sity of dresses, etc, when closely packed.
