Her arm, without reprimand.

Upon his brow she pressed,

Set all her fears at rest.

S,me Queer German Clubs.

Very curious are some of these clubs,
though all breathe a spirit we cannot but
commend and might be pardoned for envy
ing One very curious club is called "Ihe
Humoristical Gambrinians," the jolly dis
ciples of the god of beer. 1t has its own club
room with a grandly hospitable central table
around which the members sit. lncased In
a glass box and hung upon the wall Is huge
silver tankard to be filled by every member
caught talking politics or presented with
oirl babv bv his wife. To be the father OF
boy costs q member the price of a keg OF
beer for the club. The members are mixed
company of capitalists and wage workers,
who meet once a week and on all extraordl-
nary occasions of their own devising. They
tell stories, bring the women, and dance, sing
and drink beer.
Another notable east side organization Is
the Pfalzer Harmonic club, formed of men
and women from the Rhenish vineyard coun-
try. 1t will be sausage time" in few
weeks. and sausage time" is their time for
grand festival transplanted from the odd
country. The new pigs Of the year are then
fit for translation into sausage meat, and, at
the same time, the grapes have al been gath
cred for the wine presses-two important rea-
sons for rejoicing, they think grand ball
is given. They come to it from far and near.
Some are retired men Of wealth, some are
mechanics, some are laborers. some are shop
keepers, some are great merchants, but they
are all equal on this festal night. While the
tiddlers are tuning up all repair to shooting

THE CANARY.

A day in June, of light, of fragrance rare,
A bride brought to home, a bride as fair
As angels be, as sometimes women are.
Loud sings the blithe canary in its cage.
A day in June again; what greater bliss
On earth may be, mayhap in heaven, than this
Falls faint on babys face, a mothers kiss.
Loud sings the blithe canary in its cage.
A woman, fair and young and pale, at rest,
A dead babe laid on the dead mothers breast,
A preacher murmuring: "All is for the best"
Loud sings the blithe canary in its cage.

WRITING REFRACTORY WORos.
Curious Slips in the Cogs of Mental
Machinery-A Writer'S Experience.


Machinery-A Writer'S Experience.
DR.. Holmes has written something about
it, as he has about everything else that is odd
and interesting But it is a subject that re-
mains forever with the man who has much
occasion to adjust his thinking machinery
with the physical machinery of writing, and
who has found out that there are certain
cogs in one set of machinery or the other that
always slip The Listener, for instance,
never writes the word "by," unless his mind
is specially upon the writing of it, and each
letter is written with separate act of voli-
tion, without first writing "but" and scratch
ing it out; and vice versa, he seldom writes
shut" without first writing "by." The word
@Egypt" is invariably refractory, and will
not be written correctly the first time. So is
the word eighth"
A gentleman Of the Listeners acquaintance
has the same difficulty with "for' and "from"
that he does with "by" and "but," and still
another is generally floored by the words
"than" and "that," writing one where the
other should be. The first gentleman always
writes "Duch" for "Dutch," going back and
putting in the afterward; and the second
invariably writes commonwealth" or 'com-
monweathl" before he can get the word right.
The first cannot write the word ''nomencla-
ture" without stopping to think about it.
Still another, a man of books, has the same
difficulty with the word Egypt" that the
Listener has, except that he writes it
Egypt" while the Listener writes it
'Egupt;" and he has the additional pecu-
liarity, which is worth noting, that when be
reaches the letter which occurs in his sigma
ture, he is always compelled to stop and
think, or else he will make a superfuous
stroke which will turn it into another letter.
This regular hostile encounter with refrac-
tory letter in his own signature he finds pecu-
| liarly vexatous.
The Listener has not attempted to formu-
late theory for this popularity, but is in
clined to the opinion that, in the majority Of
cases, it is due to physical habit-a trick Of
| the nerves or muscles, that has become prac-
| tically incorrigible. In the case of the word
Egup--there it goes again!-Egypt, the in
herent difficulty of word which has three
letters in succession involving a stroke below
| the line is evidently to be blamed rather than
any physical trick; but in the invariable
writing of "by" for "but," and "for" for
"from," and vice versa, certainly the blame
is not to be placed upon the word. Perhaps
the type writer will cure us all of the trick
when we finally give up writing with the
| pen, and perhaps it will not. There are a
good many evidences that the type writing
machine simply multiples the errors of the
hand writing. One finds involuntary ana
grams in every page of some peoples type
writer manuscript, and one friend of the
Listener, who writes with machine, says
that he occasionally writes a word exactly
backwards-"kcalb" for "black, for instance,
and cannot imagine how in the world he
manages to do it.-Boston Transcript

From cygnet's snowy breast. And from her head

In rings, all argentine. her hair lies soft
On pure pale brow, where intellect is writ.

There is something curious about the
American silver dollar and half dollars Of
the coinage Of 1904 In that year something
like 2O,O 900 of the dollars were coined; but it
is a singular fact, as is now known, that not
one of them was in circulation. Yet the
most valuable of all American coins are two
1904 dollars, which are now in well known
collections. They are valued at $1,000 each

The discovery by the inhabitants Of a
locality hitherto unvisited by the pestilent
scourge of fever and ague, that it exists
in their very midst, is decidedly startling.
Such discoveries arc made at every sea
son, in every part of the Union. Suisse
quently, when it is ascertained as at such
times, through the valuable experience
Of some one who has been benefited and
cured, that Hostteter's Stomach Bitters
is a thoroughly eficacious eradicator of
the malarial poison, and a means of
fortifying the system against it, a feeling
of more security and tranquility reigns
throughout the whole neighborhood.
Besides the febrile forms of malarial
disease, dumb ague and ague cake are
removed by the potent action of the
Bitters, to which science also gives its
sanction as a remedy for rheumatism,
dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint,
debility, kidney troubles, and all diseases
impairing the organs of digestion and as,
sanitation.

LNO. +. CARROLL. Editor

Mr. CUSmoCK's bill providing that
workingmen in the territory must be paid
in lawful money of the United States, has
hitherto been viewed with considerable
prejudice. The favorable report which
ACCOMPANIED it to the house from the com
mittee to which it was referred, will now
place it before the legislative body on its
merits. The measure is aimed chiefly to
aid the coal miners Of the territory who
are forced to deal at certain designated
stores often, it is alleged, greatly to their
own disadvantage. The complaint, it APP
pears, comes chiefly from Almy, and Mr..
Cummock, who is employed in the coal
mines there, has drafted a bill through
which he hopes the existing evils may be
~measurably remedied. While we are not
prepared to commend without reservation
all the provisions of the bill we still be-
lievc the subject should be thoroughly
cont into and the alleged abuses it pro-
poses to remedy laid bare to the public
gaze.

A BILL has passed the house and couu-
ell repeating that section Of the revised
statutes which provides that in the rorma-
ton Of new counties the new subdivision
shall only bear a proportion of the bonded
indebtedness of the original county in
Cured for railroad construction based up
on the number Of miles of the road in the
new county. The bill is now in the hands
of Governor Moonlight Tor approval.
There was scarcely any opposition to the
measure in either branch Of the legisla-
ture, its business being self evident. 1t is
considered very doubtful if a new county
coull be formed from Laramie while that
provision remained on the statute books
for the reason that it would leave Us with
n larger bonded Indebtedness that is now
permitted by congress.
