rHE GIRL WITH THIRTY.NINE LOVERA


From The London Graphic.
A vessel was voyaging over the sea,
And two score of passengers on board han shes
Thirty and nine OF the masculine sort
And a charming young lady the captain brought
The thirty and nine were all shot through by Cupn,
But the charming young lady thought them all ratAS
stupid.
She saw them alone and she saw them together,
How they looked in calm. and after bad weathef
They were tall ones. and short ones,
Fat lean, rich and shady.
But all were alike deep in love with the lady,
She could not love them ALL what 10 be dones
She consulted the Captain, who suggested some nun.
Tomorrow said he, " II the day should be calm,
Just Jump in the n shall do you no harm.
And the first one that follows TO rescue your life.
VIII have the first claim to make you his WIFE"
The next day calm. and over she fell, .
And thirty eight passengers followed as we'll
One STAYED where he was. for as he could not SWIM
He knew he'd be drowned, which was F" gone goose
for him.
The lady was rescued, and the passengers too,
And they stood in a row for review.
Tninviting before they now looked like drowned rats
From the soes Of their feet TO the crowns OF their hats
She consulted the Captain, whose look was sly one
II were you, Miss, I'd favor the dry one

RuBAL CAPTURES.

When the golden-rod is cleaning
BY the hedgerow brown, so.,,ny
When the crimson leaves are hoa'ins
On the west wind down.
when the stubble in the meadow
Frosty CLEANS at morn:
Then the farmer, thrifty iarner'
Cuts his corn.
When adown the storm-swept iorcs'
Ripe nuts patter fast, -.
when The latest harvest's gathered.
Indian summer past ~
when the woodsman's axe IS ringing
On the crashing logs,
Then the farmer. bloody farmer,
Kills his hogs.
When the drifting SHOWS lie heavy
All the world around
when meath mistletoe and holly
Yuletide Joys abound
Then beside his glowing hearthStone,
Scoring tempcsts wrack.
Plays the farmer, happy farmer, 49,
High How! Jack! W. r.

Building a House In Samoa.

The negotiations between the skilled
and willy carpenter and the prospeo-
tive Samoan house owner would
amuse, but hardly meet the ap-
proval of the business man of
today. Under the propitiating in
6uences of kava, the necessary
presents are produced to induce
the carpenter to undertake the con-
struction of a house. It is begun at
once, without any terms of agreement,
and the work advances until the car
penter thinks more presents necessary,
and he ceases work. Additional gifts
being made, the carpenter continues
the construction until he deems it nee
essary to demand another contribu-
ton, when he again stops work. If
the contribution is not Forthcoming,
labor is suspended on the incompleted
house, never to be undertaken for
completion by another of the craft;
and forever afterwards it remains un-
finished and a public reproach to the
good name of the unfortunate owner,
who, at the time of it's beginning, not
knowing what may be the ideas of the
carpenter as to the cost of its construc-

Secretary Seward was shaking with

Seward, advise with me. This case

AS he regarded It with 6ssSd7ssot eyes,

angry faces, flaming with drink, gath
cred round, and some hands clutched
the knives again.
Bring more drink!' shouted the
fellow, who had taken the division
upon himself. "More drink, and we'll
divide"
In few minutes a great bucketful
of the fiery liquid was brought into the
cabin, and each man took draught
from the tin dipper.
Then they crowded around the table.
Their red eyes glared like the eyes OF
wild beasts. Their breath came thick
and short, and their hands eagerly
clutched the gold pieces that were one
by one dealt around to them.
At such time and under such con-
ditions it needed but spark to cause
an explosion.
Two pieces were accidentally handed
to one of the Cubans at once. Half a
dozen voices demanded that one of
them be given back. The man refused,
with an oath; the negro who was max
ing the distribution leaned over the
table, seized him by the throat and
plunged his knife into his heart.
In the twilight obscurity of the cab
in the scene that followed could be
likened to nothing but raging hell.
The table was overturned and the gold
was scattered to the corners of the
cabin, while the human demons eager
lY sought to clutch it. They cut and
thrust with their knives; they cursed
and screamed; they rolled and fought
upon the floor. Horrid gashes were
given and received; blood gathered in
pools upon the floor. The tumult was
dreadful but brief. Some lay dead,
others were overcome by exhaustion
and the stupor of drunkenness. Silence
presently prevailed.
The moon rose in placid splendor
upon that scene of horror and desola-
ton. The wind had died away, leav-
! ing only the long swell of the sea. The
bark lay grounded and motionless when
the bright moonbeams poured into the
cabin and flooded the deck. Dead bodies
were everywhere, and everywhere
blood.
