SONG OF THE WILD WEST MAIDEN,

Darling, I have often thought
That I'd put my racket In.
But I've had to listen on
To the music of your chin
Will you love me when I'm old,
And my locks are turned to gray'
Will you buzz into my ear
With your grand and fiowery play?
When weigh two hundred pounds
Will you keep your love for me?
Will you promise, cross your heart,
That you'll hold me on your kneeP
Shall we be the same as now
After we have older grown
When you're troubled with boil,
Will you be my ownest own?
When my hair is dapple gray
And cannot make it curl
Shall be your solid pard,
More so than the hired girl2
Will you hover DER my head
When I'm going up the flume?
Will you weep and paw the ground
When I'm planted in the tombS
Will you watch the lowly spot
Where your lov'd ones dust Is laid,
With your shotgun cooked and primed,
For the student with his spadeS
Will you shoot him full Of holes
If he digs around my tombS
Will you send him by express
To his long, eternal homer

Ruled or for Winning the Race.

1 was walking up Broadway the
other day when | met two prominent
horse-dealers who figured in a ludi-
crous affair a number of years ago
here. The story is too good to keep.
Some years ago race was made be-
tween two local pacing horses for
small purse. The boys of the horse
market placed all their money. They
had the race fixed, but, like many good
things, it failed to go through. The
driver of the horse that was to lose,
finding that he could win, went out
and did SO by nearly 400 yards. The
boys were equal to the occasion. One
of them had been selected as Judge,
and, to save himself and the crowd, he
made the following decision: "Sorrel
horse wins heat and race; gray mare
distanced and driver ruled off" The
question was asked why such de-
cision was made. The answer came
directly: Heat and race to sorrel
horse; gray mare and driver ruled off
for fast driving" The parties alluded
to are now proprietors of stables on
North Broadway. 1t is probably the
first time on record that horse and
driver were ruled off for honestly win
ming a race.-St. Louis GLobe-De''eocrat

The Wonderful Eucalyptus Tree.

Among the many uses that have been
suggested for the eucalyptus is that of
planting them along the lines of levees
in the low lands of the Sacramento and
San Joaquin Rivers. Their rapidity of
growth has caused them in all cases
where they have been so experimental
upon in an incredibly short space of
time to fill and cover the leyees COM
pletely with a network of roots, there
by making them unlikely to be washed
away, and affording a stable founda-
ton for the accumulation of vegetable
matter upon and about them.
One Of the great advantages of the
eucalyptus as producer, aside from
its wonderfully rapid growth and its
adaptability to all sort of soils and
climates, is the fact that it may be cut
down so as to leave nothing but bare
stump, when it Immediately begins to
put forth new leaves and branches,
and in short time produces as much
wood as has already been cut from it.
Furthermore, far from being a detri-
ment to the soil, they serve to enhance
its richness. bringing up the elements
from below, and dropping them in
the form of deposits of leaves upon the
surface, SO that land that had been
sterile has. after the planting and sub
sequent culling out of trees so as to
admit the sun, shown an abundant
growth of feed for cattle and horses.
The eucalyptus has so many economic
uses that it is likely to be the stree OF
California" qnite as much as the noble
redwood. The eucalyptus is fit for
telegraph poles, railroad ties, cheap
wood pavements, fence posts, and other
farm uses. And the leaves and wood
of the blue gum are especially valua-
BILE for making potash by burning them
in pits, teaching the ashes, and evap-
Grating in the usual manner, and for
tirewood. Baron Won Mueller esti-
mates that ton of blue-gum leaves
and branches will give five pounds Of
pearl-ash. Excellent charcoal, equal
to that of the willow, is made from the
eucalyptus globules, and the best
whalers that sail the South Sea are of
eucalyptus wood.-OUerIa1ad Monthly.

The Bells of Japan.

The bells of Japan are among it,
loveliest possessions. One of the
sweetest of them rang out many times
every day in the waiting air, in this
far away little city. The tone was in
tensely thrilling and pathetic. The
bells are not sounded by a clapper
within, but are struck from the out
side by sort of wooden arm, or bat
tering-ram. Being Withdrawn to the
proper distance and released, it strikes
the bell once-and the strokes are
allowed to succeed one another only
with dignified and stately regularity.
Tradition says the finest bells have
much silver in their composition, which
may account for their deep and Won
derful sweetness. Whether this be 80
or not, the bells make profound i'm
preston upon all sensitive or musical
organizations, heretofore accustomed
to the more discoldant church bells OF
a newer civilization.
And never did the lovely temple-bell
in Shirakawa ring out so sadly and de-
liciously as one night when a great
fire laid waste portion of the city.
Thirty or forty houses made tine
blaze for two or three hours, and VIC
watched it from the castle wall with
pity and interest The cracking Of
the flames as they licked up one little
matched roof after another. was terri
bly, audible; so, too, were the helpless
cries and shouts of the surrounding
crowd-while the red cinders were
whirled far aloft, and fell even around
Us. But through the confusion and
tumult, the calm bell rang out its in
describably beautiful note-in quicker
succession than usual, but losing none
of its dignity and sweetness, for all
the disc0rdant sounds so near.-Sk

for at that moment the curtain was rung
and few minutes afterwards Richmond,
clad in gltterlng armor, marched on to
, the stage.
Standing in the wings, 1 presently
heard my old schoolfellow's familiar voice
the voice that might soon, alas, be
hushed in death!-as, in his character of
Richmond, he delivered the well-known
| speech in which the future King Henry
VII. tries to cheer his troops by insisting
upon the righteousness of his quarrel
with Richard. Never had the lines been

again, if possible more loudly than be-

rapid blows. The fiery sparks flew from
/ the well-tempered steel, and the loud ap

ence. Richard was down at last, and
was fighting upon hand and knee. Ifelt
the cold perspiration oozing out of every

audience rang out afresh.

could see they were both determined
to fight to the death; still I could not
move, but stood like one paralyZed.
| Cheer rose above cheer from the enrap-
| tured audience. At last Emerson, by an
adroit blow, disarmed his antagonist, and
then he plunged his sword deep into his
enemy's breast.
Mr.. Watson's fears were aroused at
last, and, not waiting for Richmond to
deliver his closing speech, he had the
curtain lowered. Just as it fell there
was wild piercing shrek, and woman
rushed on to the stage from one of the
wings. 1t was Lizzie.
AS she knelt beside the inanimate body
of her husband, Emerson fell back into
my arms. Gasping between each words
while the blood flowed from his mouth,
he said
owe can cly quits at lastv'
The next moment a fit of coughing
seized him and made further speech inn
possible. In his excitement he had brok-
en- a blood-vessel. Before medical as
sistance could reach him, his life had
ebbed away, and Lizzie was wailing over
the Hfeless bodies of the two men whose
premature deaths she had been instru.
mental in bringing about.
