A QUESTION:.

How could helpit! Wewere standing thoro-
German waltz vas playing in the hall
he drew the shade, TO let the starlight in,
And folded on my neck n aeecy shawl.
his touch was like u woman, and his voice
Broke thro' the music soft and sweet to hear,
] bent my head to listen to him there
Now, could help it-when he stood 30 near?
And then, somehow.-you see, what could do!
His eyes so dark aud deep were looking down;
he whispered low my name, and took my hands,
Then leaned and kissed the lace upon my
gown.
How could helpit1 Tell me, now, pray1
With every one out dancing In the hall.
And then, before ] thought, tho words were
said.
BE asked me II I loved him. That was all,
How could help It: While tho music played,
He dropped my hand and slowly turned away,
With sha ows dark across his handsome face,
And just one rose, from out my big bouquet,
Crushed In my hand-and then was alone
1meant to call-,o ask him not t, co.
he wrltes-they say. A comic weekly fiend
How could help !t-that told him-No1
Time.

THREE young women Of Rapid City, D. T..

SOMEBODY says that drinking beer will
puench the thirst. Perhaps it may, but not so
quickly as water. Some mems thirst is so
hard to quench with beer that they swallow
ten glasses inside of an hour, whereas one
pint Of water will satisfy plain, ordinary,
very-day thirst for eight or ton hours at a
time.
The heroine of a story now running IN q
Southern paper is made to say: II will do

departure from the realistic in fiction; in
fact, it reaches the pinnacle Of the idea at a
bound. As work Of imagination the story
will take high rank.

The small letter "i' was formerly written
without the dot. The dot was introduced
in the fourteenth century to distinguish ''i':
from ''e'' in hasty and indistinct writing.
The letter ''i'' was originally used where
81" is now employed. The distinction be-
tween ''i'' and 81" was introduced by the
Dutch printers at q comparatively recent
date, and the ''j'' was dotted because the
"i," from which it was derived, was writ
ten with dot.

in other respects, who are certainly mono
maniacs in dosing themselves. They are
constantly trying experiments upon their

would only use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
they would, if not hopelessly insane, per-
ceive its superiority.
