He Was Married, but Hc Forgot That Hc
Was to Take II Wedding Trip.
"Never was absent minded in my
life" said tho little man, who tugged
nervously at his bristling mustache.
sBut my father had one of the worst
cases I ever heard of. He was a MAJ
who used the good old fashioned birch
generously. To add to the good effect Of
the punishment he used to send us out
to cut the switch. If it was not a good
one he sent us back for another. Once
he sent me on one of these melancholy
errands, and as my offense had been
playing hockey from school for three
days, I was in no hurry to return for
my punishment. When I came to tho
room he was pacing thoughtfully up and
down the room.
"'James,' he said, :; am glad you have
come. I wanted you for something, but
it has slipped my mind. will recall it
il q moment And l discreetly backed
out of the room with my birch behind
me, and tossed it over the fence. That
was the last l heard of that switching"
Cease of suspended judgment" said
some one, softly.
My brother" continued the first speak
er, was as bad as my father. He lives
in a New England town and he went to
Boston once to transact some business
which would occupy two days. At the
end of four days he had not returned.
His wife's anxiety was relieved on that
day by a telegram, which read: What
did I come to Boston for? Have been
trying to remember for three days
"'Real estate telegraphed his wife.
"sOf course came back the answer"
''That reminds me-" said one of the
party, '.of a friend of mine. He was a
lawyer in a small town, and frequently
after working late at night at his office
would sleep on a comfortable lounge
which he had in a back room. When he
was married there was a wedding break
fast at the brides home and the couple
were to start on an evening train for a
wedding trip. H had to run around
to his office for q few moments, having
forgotten some little thing which had to
be attended to. The hours went on and
Il failed to returned to his bride.
When train time came and no bride
groom appeared every n was thrown
into a panic.
ssThe bride tainted, and the news spread
like wildfre In the little town that H
had abandoned his bride and fed the
town. The only one who seemed not to
suspect him was the bride. She, how
ever, only shed tears, refusing to listen
to any condemnation of her missing hus-
band, but declining to offer any sugges-
tions. Finally she could stand the strain
no longer, and posted her father to
HIS office. H had gotten deel
into his work and was just on the point
of going to sleep OF his lounge. He was
SO broken up over his cruel blunder
that he was ashamed to face any n but
his wife, and extended his two months
wedding trip oyer year. They made
one of the happiest couples in the world,
but to this day his wife has to find his
hat for him and remind him what he
wants to do when he leaves the house.

Cotton over Twenty-Five Years of Age,

A sample of cotton with a history has
just been exhibited in Nashville, Tenn.
1t came from a bale raised zeal West
Point, Miss, in 1868, The man who
raised the cotton was offered forty-two
cents per pound for it in 1894, but re-
fused to take it. He has since been hold
ing for a rise that never came, and on
March 10 last he sold it for ten cents per
pound. Estimating the bale to weigh
500 pounds, and counting simple interest
on the money at 8 per cent, the planter
lost $4s7. so by not disposing of it twenty
six years ago. The cotton is perfectly
sound, and as good a when taken from
the feld.-Exchange.

No Man Is a Hero to a coroner's Jury.

No Man Is a Hero to "A Coroner's Jury.
Died from injuries received through
his own neglect"
Such was the strange verdict returned
by a ~coroner's jury in the case of Wilson
Seal, the brave Pennsylvania railroad
engineer who met his death by being
caught between engine and tender in
the accident near the Columbia avenue
bridge.
What was his neglect asked the
coroner.
He stayed on the engine until he was
killed" answered the foreman.
"All right" was the comment of the
coroner in utter di8gust.-Philadelphia

A novel fad has recently taken pos
session of the Yale juniors, and is
ing much amusement about the college.
Every afternoon and evening the men,
bers of the three upper classes gather
round their respective portions of the
new fence in front Of Durfee and as a
new man strolls up to join a group of
classmates he Is suddenly bounced upon.
his vest is u~nbuttoned, and in spite of
his struggles the tab on the bottom of
his shirt bosom is cut off. This trophy
is then tackled up on an elm, where are
some fifty or more similar ones. The
custom is peculiarly a Junior one, and
the members of the other classes look on
and cheer while the struggle is in pro-
gress. As many of the tabs SO taken
have the owners initials embroidered
upon them they are easily recognized as
they hang upon the elm, and among
them can be seen the tabs nee belonging
to the best known men in the class

A strange battle of frogs is reported to
have taken place in a stream which runs
through the grounds of a temple at
Toxic, in Japan. Some hundreds of
bullfrogs gathered on either bank. Then
a terrific battle ensued, lasting from 0
a. IN. to 4 p. m, and it is stated that
when the combat finished the brook was
blocked to such an extent with the bodies
of the slain that the course of the water
was almost totally impeded.

Spring Song.

~
The swift is wheeling and cleaning,
The brook is brown In its bed.
Rain from the cloud Is streaming;
And the bow bends overhead,
The charm of the winter is broken
The last of the spell is said!
The eel in the pond is quickening,
The grayling leaps in h stream;
What if the clouds are thickening?
See how the meadows CLEAN.
The spell of the winter is shaken!
The world awakes from a dream
The fir puts out green fingers,
The pear tree softly blows,
The rose in her lark bower fingers,
But her curtains will soon unclose;
The lilac will shake her ringlets
Over the blush of the rose.
The swift Is wheeling and cleaning,
The woods are beginning to ring,
Rain from the cloud Is streaming;
There, where the bow doth cling,
Summer is smiling afar of,
Over the shoulder Of spring.

The Louvre is about to become the pos
SCISSOR of Millet's "Glaneuses," which has
been bequeathed to it by Mime. Pom
merry, who died recently at Rheims.
The "Glaneuses' was painted two years
before the "Angelus," and was first ex-
hibited at the Salon of 1857. 1t is a much
more important work than the more
widely known canvas, and is by many
connoisseurs considered to be greatly SUI
perior TO it.

Serious Defect of smokelcss Powder.

A great deal has been written about
the smokeless powder, which has been
adopted for the French, German and
Austrian armies. The French have q
powder of their own, and for all that has
been reported of the experiments made
with it, it is a very good powder. So is
the German and Austrian powder, but it
has a serious defect, which the military
authorities of the two countries have
been making uneasy endeavors to con-
ceal. The powder has too great a force
of expansion, and cracks the sever mill
meter Mannlicher barrel after twenty
shots. After long elaboration it was
decided, at Berlin and Vienna, that the
powder must be adopted notwithstand-
ing: but it was also resolved, that the
Mannlichers must have new barrels.
These are being manufactured with as
much expedition and secrecy as possible;
but to let the cat out of the bag, it must
be stated that the rearmament of the
Austrian and German forces cannot be
effected within less than two years.

The fact that the will Of the late Sir
William Gull has been proved, showing
property to the amount of 81 80, 000, has
created much talk Of late. 1t is beyond
a doubt that for the last few years, since
physicians have doubled their fees, and
since both branches of the profession are
constantly in receipt of very large sums
for expeditions By rail, the earnings of
members of the healing art have very
largely increased. There are possibly a
dozen medical men in London who at
their death will be found to have amass-
ed $500, 900, but there is probably not one
who has put by anything like the for
tune left By Sir William Gull.@Chicago
