THREE years ago a Providence. R..

pretty and courted by many, was mar
ried to a mill owner who was 70 years
old and wealthy. Lately there was a
suit for divorce brought by the still
fascinating young lady, who said that
her husband was stingy and that he
had made life unbearabIe by his mean
ness. She did not want alimony,
strange to say, and the court granted
her a divorce and the right to assume
her maiden name. The rich old men

IT is dangerous to let a man die in a
hotel in Paris. A queer French law
enables the landlord to present his bill
to the relatives for the death. Seven
hundred francs was the item recently
demanded from an American family for
the decease of one of its members in a
weIl-known hotel. This extortion
would have been three times as great
if the person had died of a contagious
disease, and doubled if the deceased
was a prince or a member of any rich
old aristocratic family. The allow
ances by the judges, however, are gen
orally much less than the claims of the
landlords.
An old farmer N the Granite State
one Sunday morning started to wind
up his great silver watch, and found
that the key was filled with dirt. Be
ing unable to dig the matter out with
pin, the farmer drilled hole in the
key, and with a single breath blew all
the dust out. Then he sat down to
think, and within a month had patent
ed that hole. Today in Lebanon, N.
H, there is a large factory running by
electric power wherein are manufac-
tured daily thousands and thousands
of watch-keys of every possible size.
shape and design. Each one of these
keys contains the hole which has been
patented by the farmer. The latter
has already made a fortune.

THE LAND OF USED-T0-BE.
BY JAMES wnircoMp RILEY.

BY JAMES wnfrCoMR RILEY.
Beyond the purple, hazy trees
OF summers utmost boundaries;
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas;
Beyond the range OF eyes like these,
And only in the range Of the
Enraptured gaze OF memory,
There lies land long lost to me,
The land of Used-to-be.
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas where sirens chung
Along their dripping Drinks and sung
TO Jason in that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody;
Oh, such land, with such sea,
Kissing its shores eternally,
Is the fair Used-to-be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with belts of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet
words
That even in the lowing herds
A meaning lives so sweet TO me,
Lest laughter ripples limpidly
From lips brimmed or with all the
glee
OF rare old Used-to-be.
Lost laughter and the whistled tunes
Of boyhood's mouth of crescent runes,
That rounded through long afternoons,
To serenading plenillunes,
When starlight fell SO mistily
That peering up from Bonded knee,
l dreamed twas bridal drapery
Hung over Used-to-be.
Oh, land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shady spots,
Oh, coolest, greenest, grassy plots,
Embossed with wild forget-me-nots,
And all the blooms that cunningly
Lift their sweet faces up to me
Out OF the past; kiss In thee
The lips of Used-to-be.
L love We all, and with wet eyes
Turned glimmering upon the skies,
My blessings like your perfume rise,
Till Ger my soul silence lies
Sweeter than any song to me,
Sweeter than any melody,
OF its sweet echoes, yes, all three,
My dreams of Used-to-be.

Why They Are Called Alligator Pears.

Why They Are Called Alligator fears.
Did you ever see an alligator
pear? If not, take a look at the
first uncouth object on fruit
stand and you will strike it dead
sure.
They weigh about "A pound
apiece, and when unripe are as
green as the man who thinks he
can be elected to Congress, and
when ripe are about the color Of a
secondhand mahogany bedstead
with plenty of varnish sprinkled
over it.
They derive their name from the
fact that alligators are very fond
of them and get plentiful supply
by standing on their heads and
knocking the fruit off the limbs Of
the tree with their tails.
