last day Of the Jerome Park Spring races, and II
eomc people could have their way it would be tho
lhst meeting held here, not because Of any
special fault in the management or defect in the

cost Mr.. J. A. Morris over a million dollars,
they are anxious to have Jerome taken by the
city for q reservoir.

out to ride him.. Some time afterwards Mr..
Withers discovered the error and ordered the
horse scratched. as he never intended to start
him, it being n mistake on the part OF his
trainer. All bets were declared of and twenty
minutes given for q new book.
Diablo was then sent to the post q 5-to-4-on

"ANoTHER BABY"

When the wild winter winds did blow,
The bitter W nds OF January,
That swept with sparkling swirls Of snow
The wastes Of western prairie;
A little child came to my arms
To bring me joy-or sorrow may be.
And so, beset by vague alarmS
Isighed: Another baby!"
Another little waif to tend,
Another little helpless stranger,
To lead, to feed to fold, to fend,
From every wrong and danger.
To make one anxious. make one sad.
And fearful for each morrow may be
With heart half-sorrowful. half-glad,
! moaned: Another baby!"
And then thought how near, how dear,
The little children God had sent US,
How full they made our home of cheer,
And how their presence did content us
Hard il but one were laid away
This year or next as might or may be,
Our hearts would ache, would burn, would
break,
And now-Another babyi
All, so I thought. and so I SAID,
In ecstacy OF peace and pleasure, 8;
As bending down kissed the head
OF my last, weest, weakest treasure:
"Oh, dear child Of my life and love.
What'er you are, what'er you may be,
] take you from the Christ above,
And thank Him for-Anotter baby!

There has been q wonderful change
in the business methods Of sewing
machine dealers within the past dec
ade, and that the change is for the
better goes almost without the saying.
There was q time when the sewing
machine agent and the ightning-rod
man were looked upon as land pirates
and their approach regarded with
genuine dread. The only way to get
rid of the sewing-machine agent Of
auld lang syne was to give him IN
order. The majority of agents worked
ON commission. and they must sell or
starve. Nowadays, the business il
conducted much upon the same plan
a. that of the Wholesale grocer or dry.
goods dealer. Regular travelling men
are employed, paid salary and ex-
penses. and they sell machines to
those who want them. and not to those
who do not. but purchase to get rid of
q bore. Some of the best commercial
men in the country are now engaged
in the sewing-machine business. and
the dignity added by the adoption Of
business-like methods is rapidly put
ting that branch of trade in the front
rank as desirable occupation.-St
Louis Globe-Democras.

NEW PARROT STORY.

One That Discounts the Ordinary Yarn
About Eleven Thousand Times.
A well-known New Yorker has had
an adventure which discounts by TO-.

in out-of-the-way quarters of the world,
and left ship on the Central American
ccsst with party of comrades to ex-
plore the wilderness. During a cruise
of several months the entire ships
company merry crew-had devoted
their odd hours in singing to q parrot
The sailors had lost no opportunities.
and taught the bird all the seafaring
lingo, and q few more or less elegant
explosives besides When the explor-
ing party had hidden the bird and the
sailors goodbye they plunged into the
heart Of tie tropical forest After
twenty-eighi miles of mortal effort
they reached their camping place for
the night Just.as the sun was going
down they were startled to hear in the
primeval silence familiar voice call
ing down from the top Of tall palm:
.:Avast there! 70. heave hot" IT was
the ships parrot But before they
could recover their startled senses the
faithful bird, having flown ahead to
prepare this unexpected treat for it,
chums of the voyage, huttered down to
the top of . dead stump near BY, and.
with q shrill call, summoned thousands
of the little green paroquets OF the
country. It is said that eleven thou
sand Of them were counted, a. they
circled around the great gray African
oracle on the stump, and finally took
their places on the ground row after
row. The explorers looked ON in
dumb amusement When the feath-
cred assemblage became quiet the
ships parrot burst into the words Of .
familiar song. and. to the inextin-
puishable laughter Of the travellers,
