Words Welded to Song.

Mr.. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan
are understood to "get on" with one an
other very pleasantly, but, generally
speaking, there is no more vehement ami
mostly than is ~engendered between the
man who writes the song and the man
who sets 1t to music. Each of them
calls it his song and ascribes its popu-
larity solely to his part in its production.
But it is certainly the fact that not even
Lord Tennyson's verse is half so valu-
able in current coin as a ballad of the
music hall that has caught the ear of the
public. 1t is not until music is ''wedded
to immortal verse; hat verse, in most
cases, becomes immortal, or at least
fetches any extraordinary price in the
market. Only the other day tho dam
ages claimed for singing a ditty of which
somebody held the copyright were no
less than e700. What poet ever received
the tenth of such a sum for the words
themselves? What is very curious and
shows how we stick to old saws, 'thor-
oughly worn out, the souls If them
fumed forth, the hearts of them torn
out" is that we still use the term, "sold
for a song" as an expression for cheap
ness.-London Independent.

Perhaps the weakest point in our
grand breed of cart horses is their feet,
particularly if we include their coronets,
which are apt to be afflicted with side
bones and ring bones, says The Saturday
Review. In paved cities and over stony
roads good feet are of the most impor-
lance, yet there are men of no little ex-
%pcrience who are of opinion that the feet
Of n thoroughbred horse will generally
bear more battering upon hard and
rough surfaces than those of n draught
horse. With regard to their heels and
legs it may not be generally known that,
while Englishmen like to see them well
covered with long, wavy hair, the con-
trary taste prevails in many parts of
America, where the sudden and severe
frosts are apt to freeze a superabundance
of wet hair into n solid mass. 1t may
be worth mentioning that the monks at
the Hospice of St. Bernard prefer the
smooth coated dogs to the rough for pre-
cisely the same reason, although English
dog fanciers arc fondest of the rough
coated st. Bernards.

Thought Her Papa Was Perfection.

The precocity and cute sayings of chill
dren are frequently a source of great
amusement. When T. P. Shonts, the
general manager. of the Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa railway, was at the Palmer
house n day or two ago he received n let
ter from home, and a certain portion of
it he read to Frank Brobst, the clerk of
the hotel. This portion was about Mr..
Shonts' little 8-year-old daughter Mar
guerite. The mother wrote that upon
getting the child ready for bed the
usual form of saying a prayer was under
gone. Marguerite had got through all
right with the "God bless Marguerite
and make her a good girl; God bless
mamma and make her good SO she won't
spank Marguerite; God bless papa and
make When she had got thus far
she stopped, hesitated n moment, then
getting off her knees said very solemnly
to her mother: 81 des it amt worth
while astin bod to make my papa a dood
man; he's dcst about rs dood as he tan
be now. Err amt no use in boddering
bod, is or, mammay'-Chicago Herald.

There" said a neighbor, pointing to
a village carpenter, there is a man who
has done moro good, l really believe, in
this community than any other person
who eve lived in it. He cannot talk
very much in public, and he does not
try. He is not worth 81, and it is
very little he can put down on subscrip-
ton papers. But a new family never
moves into the village that he does not
find it out and give them a neighborly
welcome and offer them some service.
He is on the lookout to give strangers a
seat in his pew at church. He is always
ready to watch with a sick neighbor and
look after his affairs for him. l believe
he and his wife keep house plants in
winter mainly that they may be able to
send little bouquets to friends and in
valids. He finds time for u pleasant
word to every child he meets, and you'll
always see them climbing into his one
horse wagon when he has no other load.
He has a genius for helping folks, and it
does me good to meet him in the streets. =

y simple, good hearted servant girl,
who is valued highly by her employers,
camo to her mistress the other day to
ask advice. She said she'd been won't to
give another girl in service a present at
Christmas time for many years, and al
ways received q present from her. This
year she didn't know what to buy.
How much do you think of spend
mgr her mistress asked.
Il can afford about 50, ma'am."
Then you take your 50 and give it to
your friend and ask her to buy n present
for herself. She knows what she wants
better than you do"
This struck the girl as a splendid idea
and she carried it into effect. Her friend
was delighted, too; so much so, in fact,
that the next day she presented Mary,
the girtwho had inaugurated the reform,
with 50 in like fashion, asking her to buy
n present to suit herself.
Thus, not a cent changed hands, and
the two young womon felt they had de-
monstrated their mutual regard in q
highly satisfactory Misunderstanding
Dispatch.

YES" remarked n portly insurance
agent TO The Man About Town, Il do
take n constitutional every morning; but
it isn't n cocktail by any means. It's n
good, brisk, after breakfast walk down
from Garrison avenue to my place of
business ON Third street, and it makes
me feel fresh as a daisy. / tell you
there's nothing like q winters morning
and a swinging two mile stroll TO make
your blood circulate and your brain
frcshen, But I've noticed one thing pc
culiar about st. Louis. The women arc
better walkers han tho men. There are
twenty young girls employed in stores
who walk from their homes to business
and back in the evenings, to one young
man, as you can see by watching the
pedestrians of II morning going down
Olive street or any other popular thor
oughfare. This habit of wal!-ing n great
deal applies also to young ST. Louis
ladies who are in what is called the
upper circles. 1t is II good thing, but
has had one unlocked for result. which
is the establishment OF the st. Louis
walk as u descriptive term. l have
heard it commented on by strangers
many n time. Our girls have q free,
vigorous stride and carriage which is
remarkable. If they are walking with
n gentleman they have no trouble in
keeping step with him. There is no
mincing Japanese trot about them. Its
a fair square heel and toe."-St. Louis

While a dance was at its zenith of
pleasure at the residence of Mr.. Claw
son, a bucket OF water WIS drawn from
the well and brought in which contained
a sucker fish about five inches long. The
fish had been placed in the well by the
children. The appearance Of the sucker
in the drinking water caused comment
by the company. during (which one of
the young yeomanry lowed he could
swaller the reptile fer fun err money"
This observation occasioned no little
bantering and ~bullyragging, until finally
he wa told that he would be given 81 if
he would throw it under his collar.
The boaster said he would go him;
and, taking the fish by the tail, he laid
back his head, spread his potato trap
from pole to pole, and let her go, Gal
lagher. The finny explorer shot down
the yawning gullet like n well CREASED
toboggan, its extended fins raking the
sides with a sort of ripping sound as of
~laceration, and ~sickening to hear The
feat accomplished, the swallower unbut-
toned his shirt collar, gave himself a
firt and shake, and proclaimed in n loud
voice that he could ''swaller a live dog
with his tail curled over his back, catch
as catch can, and no limit to size, for
So" But he got well away with his
bluff Of bluff it was), for no one doubted
his ability to do so; and this, coupled
with the fear that the passage of a dog
might imperil his diaphragm, brought
the side show diversion to a close, and
the dance went on with renewed joy
until the break of day.-Idaho Demo-
