Yesterday heard what pleased ne as walked
Where the tide Of life flowed past me. as two
comrades CHANGED tn meet.
had often paused 10 watch them. as they
passed ine day by day,
For their pleasant faces won me- as they came
and vent their way
.They are manly little fellows often to myself
i said,
And hoped their feet would follow where the
best and Iravest tread.
They had paused upon the pavement whore
luring lght WAS east
From gaylv painted window Ger the people as
they passed.
Often strains Of merry music foated out upon
the air,
Like the voice OF sirens drawing men 70 sorrow
and despair.
Men were coming, men we're going ever through
Drifting on The tide of ruin to the rocks that
line LIES shore.
20, God grant these boys steer safely past the
shore where danger is,
Let the wrecks OF manhood warn them; save
them from a fate like HIS
Prayed L. as the door was opened and -oung
man staggered out,
And his ribaid, drunken laughter woke the
echoes all about.
All the traces OF his manhood drink had driven
from his face,
Leaving there the bitter story OF his ruin an I
disgrace.
He went rceling from the doorway where they
sell 10 those who'll buy
Shame aud sorrow, WOO and ruin, with drinks
madness in his eye.
Long the two boys stood and watched him then
one turned, aud. John said hs,
do You think our lives will ever such a sad,
sat failure be?"
'No. the other answered proudly;-I will tell
you what / II do

come with you
.That I'll touch not taste not liquor. viii you
promise me the samep
Come, let s have a temperance order, though IL

casped each others hand
In that warm fraternal friendship which all true
hearts understand;
Clasped each others hand and promised they

That would lead them down 10 ruin of the body
and the soul
Can you guess what Joy it gave me to be witness
OF their vow?

Western Wisdom.

When we see people doing wrong we
say we hope that they will not be pun
ished for it, but We never mean what
we say.
The poorer a man is, the more apt he
is to think that there is nothing that
money could not buy.
The only secret that woman should
keep from her husband is that she man
ages him.
Girls have signals for changes of sea-
sons as well as boys. When you see q
boy with his marbles YOU need not look
far to see little girl with jumping
rope.
Clean up your alley row and You can
sit on the fence and advise your neigh.
Dor when to clean up his.
A loafer hates work, but he likes 10
see it going on.
When you are sitting in an Opera
house, making fun of the people in
front of you, do you ever think that
there may be people behind you MAX
ing fun of you in the same way?
It's pity man cannot take out his
liver every spring and wash it.
When a woman takes good care Of q
good husband she is taking the best
possible care of herself.
A good many people talk poker
slang who never play poker. Many
men want the reputation of being a
hard poker player who never play at
all.
The only way YOU can get rich is to
do without things until you are so old
you have no appetite for them.
Women DO not marry for money, but
they say it is easier to love a rich man
! than a poor one.
In one respect woman is superior
to man: she can be good natured
when she is hungry.
There is one beauty about an amateur
opera if the boys get mashed on the
chorus girls they don't have to follow
the show off.
How persistent people are about
shutting door when you want it open.
The trouble caused by finding a mis-.
take is more than made up by the pleas
ure in finding that somebody else
made it.
What men call public opinion, WON.
en- call fashion. - Atchison (hdn.)

Economizlng Space at a Funeral.

Chauncey Depew says: In the Berk-
shire Hills there was a funeral. and as
they gathered in the little parlor there
came the typical New England female,
who min9les curiosity with her sympathy.
and, as she glanced around the darkened
room, she said TO the bereaved widow:
Where did you get that new eight-day
clock?"
I'VE amt got no new eight-dsy clock, ="
was the reply.
You amt? What's that in the corner
here?"
"Why, no, that's not an eight-day clock;
that's the deceased. We stood him on
end to make room for the mourners.

AT THE END OF A ROPE.
VIM. bartholomew Hanged for Murder at
Easton, Pn.

Easton, Pn.
At Easton, Pa, William Bartholomew
was hanged for murder.
He was pronounced dead in fifteen
minutes He refused to eat any break
fast or 30 dress, and was hanged in his
prison suit. His last words were declar-
ations OF his innocence, mixed with
curses and blasphemy and demands that
his paramount and Detective johnson be
also hanged.
Bartholomew was convicted OF the
murder OF Aaron w. billiard Friday
morning, Sept. q. 1ss0. The crime was
at first involved in mystery. Mrs. Dill
liard's story was that she had been
aroused by noise ut the chicken coop
and had sent her husband to learn the
cause when he was fatally shot by some
unknown person. Suspicion soon set
tied upon Bartholomew. who had for
years been intimate with Mrs. Dill
lard and he was arrested.
Two hours after the funeral
of her husband Mrs. billiard mac Q
full confession to the Rev. Mr.. Smith,
saving that Bartholomew and she had
arranged the murder OF her husband
that she might marry her paramount.
She was to arouse billiard, send him out
with lantern. and direct him to a
cherry tree where Bartholomew was to
Re in readiness To shoot him. This plan
was carried out exactly. Bartholomew
was fonnd guilty Sept. 81 of murder in
the first degree, the jury being out but
one hour. Mrs billiard was also con
victed and sentenced 10 death, but her
sentence was committed to life i'm
prisonmcnt.
BelIcfonte (Pa.) dispatch Alfred An
drews was hanged for murder.
Andrews was convicted OF the brutal
murder OF young girl named Clara
Price, whom he had first assaulted,
Nov. %, 1889, on the road leading from
Snow Shoe TO Karthaus. His victim
was about 10 years old and more than
ordinarily handsome. Her body was
found lying in the road with bullet holes
In her head, neck, and breast.

from the lake 1t matters little who
owned the property it is sufficient to
say that Mrs. Sapphira Dodge, the
widow of a down-East sea cap
tain, occupied it, and there CON
Quoted a home-like but aristocratic
boarding house. The array of board
ers around Mrs. Sapphire Dodge's
tables differed little from that in
scores of other resorts of a similar
kind. The gossip was as prolific
among the ladies' the rivalry in dress
and the petty jealousies hourished there
as they always have and always will
in boarding houses of wealth and ease.
But on the fatal night of October 9.
1871, the house was destroyed, and
Mrs. Sapphire Dodge never again
opened her establishment. Many of
her boarders never showed up again
after that night, and quite a number of
board bills are still unpaid.
a romance grew from the burning of
Mrs. Dodge's boarding house, and
confirmed bachelor became benedict.
Prominent among the boarders was
Colonel i. G.. Frost, a middle-aged at
torney, who did little but collect rent
from half score of buildings at the
beginning of each month. And then
there was Mrs. Amos Z. Matthews, a
widow with an income and two charm
ing daughters. May, the elder, was
tall and willowy, while her sister, Anna,
was plump and round of figure. 1t
had long been the talk of the boarders
In general that if the Colonel had
very little encouragement he would
have placed his future happi-
ness at the disposal of Miss
May But the encouragement did
not come, and though the Colonel
was bold in war he was bashful in
matters of love, and had it not been for
the awful fire he had in all probability
lived and died bachelor.
The boarders were all excited on the
night of the fire. Long before they
went to bed That night they watched
the lurid sky and in hushed whispers
wondered what was burning. No one
ever dreamed that they need fear. A
few of the Young, unmarried men left
for the scene of the fire late In the
evening but they did not return
Whatever became of them Mrs. Dodge
never knew. Their board bills are
among the unpaid.
Every one who knows anything of
the fire of October, 1871, knows how
the flames roared and how the burning
brands rained over the roofs far in adj
vance of the main body of the "fiery
hurricane. As it was In scores and
hundreds Of other cases, so it was with
Mrs. Sapphire Dodge's household. They
went TO bed that night little feeling
the danger they were in, and slept
peacefully. Long before the flood of
fire reached the old red brick, Dutch
gabled boarding house on Congress
street, one of the treacherous brands
set fire TO the roof. 1t. went like
typical finder. The boarders had bare
ly time TO escape with their lives.
Then the streets we're crowded with
thousands of homeless and excited
people rushing in mad torrent for the
lake front. The air was sitting with
heat and smoke; the weak were pushed
aside and trodden down by the strong.
Women chung madly to their babes, OF
walled for their lost little ones.
Fathers got lost from their families,
wives were separated from their hus.
bands, but on the torrent swept. IL
was q wild race for life. Such

Senator Beck, OF Kentucky, says there

newspaper reporters if they get him into
more scrapes, such rs he is now trying to
get off his hands. The reported rumor Of
his resignation has brought down upon
him an avalanche of letters from not
only his own State but prominent men all
over the country, and he says he has to
answer almost every one Of them. He
claims that not only had he never thought
of resioning but was trying to so satisfy
his constituents that they would give him
