Whore have they gone to-ths little siris,
With natural manners and natural curie.
Who love their dolltes and Ike their toys'
And talk Of something beside the boysF
Little old women in plenty ! find,
Mature In manners and old in mind
Little old hirts who talk Of their -beeux-
And vie with each other In stylish clothes.
Little old bellies, who at. nine and ten,
Are sick Of pleasure and tired OF men,
Weary OF travel. Of pals, It fun
And find no new thing under the sun.
Once. in the beautiful long ago.
Some dear little children I used to know;
Girls who were merry as lambs at play,
And laughed and rollicked the ivelong day.
They thought not st all of the style Of thei
clothes,
They never imagined that boys were "beaux"-
Other girls brothers" and mates" were they
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone to? II you sec
One OF them, any where, send her to me.
l would give a medal OF purest gold
To one OF those dear little girl OF ole,
With an innocent heart and an open smile,
Who knows not the meaning Of dirt" or style.

The Ruling Passion.

Miss Lettice Bowen, who has just
passed her ninety-seventh birthday, is
a remarkably well preserved lady, says
o Gaysville, VT, special. She reads
without glasses and keeps no servants.
She is tall, straight as an arrow, and is
IL rapid waller. Her memory is excel
lent and she is an interesting talker,
but if any allusion is made to her age
by her visitors they are at once shown
the door and are not recognized when
next they meet Miss Bowen.
The old lady bids fair to live a num-
Der of years, and her neighbors, who
have n strong liking for her, hope she
may be mentally and physically as Wig
orous IN her centennial birthday as she
is now,

A novel definition of what constitutes
intimacy was given the other day in the
Supreme Court. All the judges were
DOING while the counsel in some inter.
minable case was reading from the tes-
timony. Rather unexpectedly one Of
the Justices reused up aud asked the
lawyer if he claimad there was any in
timacy between the parties.
Il do, your honor" said the lawyer.
II will read the testimony again ON that
point"
And he read the question rs follows
Were you on intimate terms with
the prisoner"
Witness-Yes I was. He often called
me . darned fool.
The Court looked surprised, but The
'awyer went right on with his argument.

ruddy-cheeked and big-eyed boy of
nineteen who looked four years his
own Juniors sitting at q table drinking
al,sinthe and smoking cigarettes. He
was dressed in the prevailing mode.
His father is one Of the many million
aires Of the town, and the boy had just
got back from a shooting trip IN Vir-
ginia.

lantly. whole trip q dead failure.

came back to town"
.What are you going to do next?" I
asked.
Nothing" said the youth gloomily.
Simply waiting here until I get q
check from the gov'ner. Pulled his
leg this morning but it's all gone"
He took a small check book out Of
his pocket and turned the leaves rem
inisciently. Then he leaned owe and
showed me four checks which he had
drawn during the morning. They
were as follows:
Tahany-Sapphtre ring $500
Jones-glovss for election bsts........... l40
Ianuem harness. ~
$1,000
"What do you think Of that p he
asked pitifully. "Only had q to buy

mornings work. I got a thousand
from the governor, and if I hadn't cal
culated things with the utmost nicely
I'd have had to have gone without a

There was nothing %grotesque to him
about n checks, and he could not I'M
derstand the amusing features Of the
check book list as viewed from q bust
neas mans standpoint. Nine hundred
and ninety-eight dollars for harness,
sapphire ring and ladies' gloves is a
sort Of a thing that would make IN or
binary householder start.
Before he left the restaurant a mes
senger boy came in and thrust an en-
velope in his hands. The millionaire's
son took out the letter, read it with a
broad grin, and then tossed it over to
me. A check for four figures was en-
closed along with a slip of paper, on
which was written with q blue pencil,
in q cramped, paternal hand:

That rst had swept across the wolds and leas
No longer breathed it's music in the trees

Messrs. Editors - Your local of yester-
day relating to the guardianship of Salons
Cummings does great injustice to Mr.. Warren
b. Creasey Mr.. Creasey has given an obiiga-
ton to support David and Mary Cummings,
and il under no obligation whatever to sup
port Salons Cummings. Salona, although
perfectly able to do so. refuses TO pay any
tbing whatever for her support and insists
that she will give all her property away to
others and prevent Mr.. Cressey having his
pay.
Mr.. Greasy is young man who is honestly
endravoring to fulfill his obligation in the let
ter and in the spirit but he naturally objects
TO having his burden increased one half
si'hont fair recoppeHse. By giving this
the same publicity Ms you have the "loc n

manner In which the resources Of Maine are
being attracted into other localities. About
twenty men got aboard the train at Pittsfeld,
leaving Maine for Seattle. They were one
and ell filed with the delusive hope Of quick
iy making their fortunes in the new home
they were seeking. The tickets for the
company aggregated in value $1,000, to say
nothing Of the earning capacity represented
BY these immigrants. The larger number Of
them will probably return poorer but wiser,
but il seems too bad that our citizens should
feel called upon to pay 90 dearly for theii
