The roses, gentle and polite,
Bowed distantly, as Inaidens do

Or animated dandy doll,
And scion Of the caterpiilari
The moth danced gayly on his way,
Nor other fellowship desired.

In regal elegance attired,
He paused and looked. Ike one amazed,
Upon their bright and sunny faces;
Their elfish hoods and dimples dazed,
And duiled and dimr,ed his gaudy graces;
Abashed, eciipsed, benumbed. ne gazed,
Then dropped and died in their embraces!

The Egg Story.

How often, wonder, have morahsts and
essayists lugged in, as ian opposite Mustra
tion," the fable of Columbus and his egg
But this egg story is also told-and perhaps
with greater truth--of Brunelleschi, the great
architect, who crowned the Duome at Flor

Gus rivals protested that the work was sim

A Happy Reunion after n Separation OF

thias moved to Indiana, at which time he
kidnapped the fve-year- girl. Gil
bert spent his fortune in the search
for his child and died heart-broken.

norance of her parentage until it wa.
revealed to her few months ago, upon
the death of her abductor. She at once
came on here, found her mother, who
is again a widow, and will take her tc
her Western home, which is now in

Bank Depositors Up All Night.

NEW York, April 12.-There is a run
on the Long Island City Savings Bank
to-day, owing to the quarrel that is in
progress among its officials. A number
of servant girls and other small deposit
tors were standing in front of the
building all of last night in order to
be first at the teller's counter this
morning. The trouble is caused by the
refusal of Cashier and Secretary Smed-
ley to allow his books to be examined;
a course in which he was upheld by a
tie vote in the board of trustees. Vice
President Appleton and Director Liv-
ingston have resigned on this account.
They claim that something is wrong.

on Account of Perjury.
BURLINGTON, IN. j., April 12.-Peter
Johnson of Riverside was arrested about
q year ago on the charge of assaulting
Agnes Smith, little girl seven years
old, and on the evidence of her mother
was convicted and sentenced to serve q
term of two years in State prison. The
people of Riverside were astonished
whom Mrs. Smith publicly made the as
sertion that she perjured herself and
unjustly sent johnson to prison.
At the time of the alleged crime Mrs.
Smith was in financial difficulty, and
knowing that johnson had considerable
money, appealed to him for the loan of
$500. He refused to comply with her
request and she preferred tho false
charge that sent the innocent man to
Jail.
Several of the people of the town
have got out petitions, which are al
ready numerously signed. and will DO
aent to the Board Of Pardons, at Trenton,
requesting his release. He will again
be free man in a few days, and it is
not improbable that he will take action
against Mrs. Smith and her daughter
for perjury.

to Decide the Question.
PrrrsBURG, April IA meeting of
the Federation of Railroad Employees
has been called for tomorrow evening.
1t is said action relative to the dis
charge of sixteen of the Oldest conduc-
tors on the Fort Wayne lines is the OBJ
ject. The rumor is that the company
will be asked to state why these men
were discharged.
One of the conductors said: eff that
information is withheld we will ask
for their reinstatement. If that request
is disregarded we may call out all train
men" Considerable dissatisfaction ex-
lists among brakemen on passenger
trains because it seems to be the policy
of the company to keep them out of the
line of promotion.
An official of the Pennsylvania COM
pany stated that the men had been dis
charged for good cause and it would be
foolish for the employees to make a de-
mand for their reinstatement.
