HALLOWEEN.

It Is past, but stlll we may tell
or the things that rose and the things that
fell
How horeeblocks, inverted and off their base,
in the morning were found far away from
their place;
How front gates, their hinges wrenched
apart,
And stove wood was found in the g%rocer's
cart;
How barn doors, Disguised with the events Of
the day,
In the night time took legs and walked
away;
How planks to the sidewalk found their
way,
And lamp posts were draped with calicos
gay,
And a tree that once In the forest had grown
sat astride OF the front gate, sad and alone.
You know the rest--how the things returned;
And the wood in the cart by the grocer was
burned;
How all things again to their places were
seen,
10 remain there until the next Halloween.
MAY M DORA.

GRANT ON GUARD
True Story OF Between n Star"s

Hartford Post: 1t Was a urZzy ,,.
only a short time before Gen. Grant
drove the enemy from Petersburg ao,
moved toward Five Points and APP
pomattox. A chilly northeast gale made
overcoats comfortable even there, and
more men who could wore them than left
them off.
A sentinel down toward the river, neay
some storehouses, sbivered as he strobe
to and fro on his post, his gunlock under
his arm to keep ol the wet. He was a
raw recruit from Down East sent out
TO fill the ranks of a regiment which had
lost one-half its zen since the campaign
began.
he saw a nan in in a regulation over
coat and with a SLOUGH hat, but with the
steady carriage Of a veteran passing
along a few rods away, and he called out
to him:
Say, friend, have you any terbacker
Ia yer clothesy'
The passer-by was smoking a cigar.
NO he replied. u can give you a
cigar, but | don't chew"
And l don't smoke, bat I'm starving
for a chaw, : replied the sentinel, as he
looked over to the other wistfully. An
| chaw and dasn't smoke on post. Say,
couldn't you stand on post a minute till |
run over to the suffers yonder?"
Il could" said the othet, with a grim
smile on his face, and then he added:
Il will. Give me your gun and orders
There ism no order only to hail any
body going anigh them stores, and to stop
EN- as has no business there"
So the sentry, relieved of his post, hur-
ried to the suffers for his desired tobacco.
Returning promptly, he took his gun and
quietly said;
III get a chance, I'll do as much for
you, friend. What regiment be you
in?"
Not any. ! belong to headquarters"
What, to the general guard? What's
your name?"
The quiet looking man pulled out a
cloud of smoke and said: "My name is
Grant"
Great jerusalem" gasped the sen
tinel. II have been relieved by Gen
eral Grant himself and didn't know
him"
How could he, when not a mark Of the
generals rank was in sight, and the poor
fellow was yet too green in service to
know what a fault he had committed in
yielding post and gun to any but his reg
ular relief"

He stood in the moonlight, a noblei
picture than Ajax; Alice sprang before
him to receive the fatal bullet il need be
but the sharp report did not split the
night air.
Mr.. Warden lowered his revolver,
with every expression of establishment.
"Why-why, ] declared
"What?" asked Mrs. Warden.
Alice and Robert stared ut the old gen,
tleman with wonder.
"This isn't the fellowf' exclaimed Mr..
Warden.
Isn't who" exclaimed Mrs. Warden,
"Why, it isn't Jack Carpenter"
well who said it was, father?' asked
Alice, whose p~erceptive faculties were
suddenly awakened by the truth.
Mrs. Warden stared al Mr.. Warden.
He stared at her. Then all stared at the
young people.
Robert Ogden began to see that there
was some mistake.
why, father" said Alice, "dld you
think it was Jack Carpenter?"
'I-I-yes," stammered Mr.. Warden.
Alice now laughed outright.
With a rapidly of thought for which
women are remarkable under some cir
cumstances, she traced the whole blundcr
from beginning TO end, and it struck her
as charmingly ludicrous,
why, thought you meant Robert
when"
"No-no-no!' %interposed Mr.. War
den, whose eyes were also opened. why,
Rob Ogden, my dear boy, | haven't the
slightest objection to your character. l
never knew you were a beau of Alice's.'
ooh, father!'
Alice's bashfulness began to return.
A pleasant laugh went round.
Come in" said Mr.. Warden, cordially.
And they went in.

Lynch. She was born on the 9th of
April, 1872, near the town of Knockma-

ed a short time ago by the Catholic priest
of her parish, who obtained a certified
copy of the record Of her baptism in
Ireland.
When Mrs. Doody first settled in Wis
consin in 1927 she was the mother Of
seven children, aud has given birth 10
three since, she being 50 years of age at
the time Of her last confinement.
She has been twice married. Her first
husband's name was Manning. and her
second Doody. She has been a widow
twenty-five years. Her children are all

ABOUT Opafs.

At a recent meeting of the share hold
crs of the opal mines of Queensland,
Australia, it appeared by the speech OF
the chairman that the company had sold
opais TO the value of e7,516 during the
year, and that these had netted a profit
OF "a, 86l les III TO the share holders.
The chairman also alluded to the difi-
culties in The way Of selling opals, one of
them being the fast waning prejudice
against the opal as an %''unlucky" stone,
and another that hitherto the business in
opals has been confined to certain chan
nels, out Of which il has been difficult to
draw it.
