LOST.

Twas summer ago when he left me here
summer OF smiles with never tear
Till said to him, with sob, my dear
Good-by my lover; good-by
For loved him, oh, as the stars lest night!
And my cheeks for him flushed red and white
When he first called me his hearts delight!
Good-by, my lover; good-by!
The touch of his hand was thing divine,
And he sat with me in the soft moonshine,
Aud drank of my love as men drink wine
Goou-by, my lover; good-by!
And never a night. as knelt in prayer.
In a gown as white as our own souls were,
But In fancy he came and kissed Ine there
Goodby, my lover; good-by!
But now, o God what an empty place
Ny who lie heart Is! OF the old embrace
Aud the kiss | loved there lives no trace
Good-by my lover; good-by!
He sailed not over the stormy sea;
And he went not down in the waves-not ne
But oh, he is lost-tor he married me
Goodby, my lover; good-by!

Mourned for the Wrong Man.

week or more ago gentleman
whom we will call Mr.. Blank died, saws
the Washington Post, and the time and
place of his funeral were announced in
the papers. Another gentleman, whom
we will call Banker, saw the notice and
said to himself:
"Dear, dear, my old friend and bene-
factor is dead. | knew he was in Wash.
ington and intended to call on him, but
now it is too late"
And he censured himself for his
neglect of the man who bad been his
friend when he sorely needed friend.
Tortured by his conscience, he sought
to make up as best he then could for hii
fault. He sent the most magnifcen,
floral piece he could buy and on the day
of the funeral was one of the most de-
monstrative ofthe mourners.
After the casket had been lowered
into the grave and the ceremonies were
at an end, the repentant Mr.. Banker
turned with tears streaming down his
eyes and said to a gentleman walking
beside him toward the carriage:
Il am almost heart broken at the loss
Of my dear old friend"
''Was he a relatives" asked the
other, mpassionately.
mo, but we went all through the wal
together and he was my best friend and
benefactor afterWard."
There must be some mistake" said
the gentleman. "Mr. Blank was not in
the army. He has been in CHS country
only few years."
'The deuce you say % said Banker
forgetting his grief; 'sthen, by thunder,
I've been chief mourner at the wrong
mans funeral" And he straightway
looked up his old friend, who was in
excellent health. It cost Banker a
good deal for flowers, but that isn't a
circumstance to what it has since cost
him for wine.

Grip Would be Popular Out West.
From the New York World.

John Anton Wolf Grip, the new min
lister to the United States from Sweden
and Norway, is a remarkable shot with
a revolver. Pistol-shooting is very
popular with the Diplomatic Corps, and
the new minister has proven that he
has Wolf Grip on the fine points of
the sport. He recently gave an exhibit
ton of his skill at Bagger's Garden,
Washington, which astonished the on
lockers. He cracked at every trial
with a revolver bullet at fifteen PAGES,
an egg.shell hung from thread and
swung rapidly back and forth. There
are places in the West in which Minis
ter Grip would be very popular.

disappointment IN love-" and would
like to indulge in an occupation suited
to lueubrious mind? If you do, ask
her if she saw the following in one of
the dailies last week: ga lady wanted
to draw, at home, original designs for

of all is in suggesting that the work
should be done at home. Such nice
cheerful drawings for tired husband

Bullets,

Every bullet has its billet" says the
old soldier, when counseling the new
recruit to take comfort ia the merciful
chances of war. The ways of bullets,
when they seem actually TO have re-
ceived commission to strike, are often
very eccentric and whimsical. An
army surgeon who was in the habit of
carrying in his breast pocket little
sketch-book, says that be has cause to
owe it a special debt Of gratitude.
The book itself is ready to tell us
why, for it is pierced through three
parts of it's thickness with two distinct
bullet-holes. About fifteen or twenty
sketches were thus sacrificed. but the
Doctors life had, at the same time,
been saved.
The life of war correspondent of the
London Telegraph was also saved by
such a shield. a curious fact connected
with this experience was that the bullet
had revolved in its course, alter reach
ing the notebook, SO that its track was
a circular one.
Several cases of the eccentricities O
bullets have been given by Irving
Montagu in "Wanderings of a War
Artist" He declares that he has known
bullets to flatten round a bone, as if the
bone, having been broken, was now

another case. bullet went six times in
and out of skirmisher's body
without doing him any serious
harm. Kneeling as he fired
the ball had first passed in and
out of one arm, and traversed the ribs,
entering one side and making it's exit at
the other, and finished it's erratic course
by entering and finally taking its de-
parture from the other arm of that Gu
riously perforated soldier.
A bullet has been fired through thick
plate glass, and, hitting against wall
flew into particles which despatched
a mans face without seriously injurine
him.

dancing like plaything toward little

The Way They DO in China.

When Chlnaman expects present
and 1t does not come he sends one of
lesser value.
A previous acquaintance between the
male and female prevents them from
marriage. For this reason man seldom
weds girl of his town.
Men wear long petticoats and carry
fans, while the women wear short jack
cts and carry canes. Boats are drawn
by horses, carriages move by sails.
IF a Chinaman desires the death of an
enemy he goes and hangs himself upon
that enemy's door. It is considered q
sure way to kill not only that particular
enemy, but members Of his entire fami-
~ will be in jeopardy OF losing their
When Chinaman desires visitor to
dine with him he does not ask him to
do SO, but when he does not wish him
to stay he puts the question: won't
you stay and dine with me, please ?'
The visitor will then know he is not
wanted.
In China one can always borrowmoney
on the strength of having son, but no.
body would advance him a cent if he
had dozen daughters. The former is
responsible for the debt of his father
for three generations. The latter is only
responsible for the debts Ct her own
husband.
Old men play ball and fly kites while
children fold their arms and look on.
Old women, instead of the young, are
the idols of society. Love making is
only done three days before marriage
1t is not only considered the safest way
to get ahead of rival, but the surest
way to get a wife without losing much
time.
A rich mans servant gets no salary
yet many are the applicants; while big
salaries are paid to the servants Of the
common people, but lew make applica-
tons. The perquisites of the former
often more than triple the salaries of
the latter, which is the sole reason
of these differences. To encourage hon.
esty and sincerity, confidential clerks
and statesmen in all branches of industry
receive an annual net percentage of the
firms business, besides their regular
salary.
