CESAR'SVIRGINIATURKEY

Cesar Alexander Sbakewell, q colored
citizen Of Bridgeville, owned no turkeys, and
his richer white neighbcrs had put theirs IN
special security as Thanksgiving Day drew
near. Mrs. Shakewcll kept nagging Caesar
about a turkey until be determined to have
one before another sun set, at any cost. He
sat down before the fire in the twilight TO
study out some plan Of action on the import
ant question.
It came 10 him quite readily, it appears, for
al at once he found himself carrying it out.
He had noticed a loose board on Col. Fair
groves back fence the day before. The Fair
groves were easy-going people, not much
given to hammer and nails, and they would
be sure to have a turkey in q coop in tho
backyard getting ready for the annual feast
Sure enough. the board fell of at tho bid
ding Of his brnwny arm, and there in pen
in the corner was the bird of his hopes The
Elats of his coop dropped before the same po-
tent force, as though they had been mere
rawlings. 1t was no trouble at all to to tie
his legs, cover his body with an old bag and
slip quietly away with him. Once at home
Caesar Alexander put him in a barrel and
laid heavy sticks Of wood on the open top.
Then he called to his wife to come and see
him and to quit "jorrin'" him about their
Thanksgiving dinner.
She appeared, looked at the bird with eyes
ike saucers, and then grew very grave.
~Whar did ye git him" she asked, with
something like awe in her voice.
@Worked for i'm, o. course, said her gen.
tie spouse, with a sneer. "Knowcd all the
time dat was to git i'm; but You had to hev
yer I'LL O jorrin' and complainin' at me for
wuthless niger. Knowed it was no use to
tell We. Ye wouldn't b'lieve me till ho come
Mrs Shakewell looked at her husband,
fresh well of admiration springing up in her
heart He was a superior creature, to be
sure; she would never doubt it again.

SMITHS CAT.

Mrs. Smith has none. Before Mrs. Smith
gets one the New York Grant monument
will be built-perhaps.
On st. Valentines Day Mrs. Jones re-
ceives a large envelope, addressed in a
struggling hand, that looks as if it had been
taking too much gin. A nightmare of a carl
cature stares her in the face. Mrs. Smith
is beginning to get even for that seakskin
sacquc.
Mrs Jones has a small infant wart on her
chin. In the caricature the wart is bigger
than o pine apple. In fact, Mrs. Jones has
the appearance Of being merely an excres-
cence on the wart, so large is it
Mrs. Jones has q copious mouth It is
not such vast mouth as to suggest the
smile of Florida alligator, but in the carl
cature 1t could lnhale a long slice Of water
melon ct O single effort, and the watermelon
would look lonesome when it was once on
the inside.
Mrs. Jones has florid hair, but in the pict-
ure her head seems to be surmounted by q
wad Of Italian sunset her husband could
certainly look on the bright side of life if
she had that sort Of hair. Besides, she is
depicted as having red forked tongue,
teeth two inches long and green, glaring
eyes.
Underneath this enhancing vision of
female loneliness is some bone-spsvined
doggerel that causes Mrs. Jones to clench
her fists, jump up and down, and breathe,
hard. Like ship about to sail, she has cot
her rancor up. Mrs. Jones don't sigh for
the anonymous sender's name; it Is her
scalp she is after.
Sooner or later it leaks out that Mrs,
Smith is the author Of the campaign letter.
Then hole is knocked INTO the entente cor.

Garfield Beach, On Great Salt
Lake, Utah.


The famous health and pleasure resort,
Garfield Beach, on Great Salt Lake,
Utah, 18 miles from Salt Lake City, and
reached only via the Union Pacific '"The
Overland Route, is now open for the
season.
This is the only real sand beach on
Great Salt Lake and is one of the finest
bathing and pleasure resorts In the West
Great Salt Lake is not sullen, hstless,
sheet of water, beating idly on the shore,
but on the contrary is as beautiful q
sheet of water as can be found anywhere.
I. is 81 per cent salt, while the ocean Is
only 8 per cent, and the water is go
bouyant that a person is sustained on its
surface indefinitely without the least
effort on his part. Experience has prov
en- its great hygenic effects. Owing to
the stimulating effect of the brine on the
skin, or tue saline air upon the lungs the
appetite is stimulated, and after bath,
the bathers are ready for a hearty meal,
and feel greatly invigorated
Fine lighthouses, accommodating 400
people, have been erected at Garfield
Beach. in connection With which there is
frst-class restaurant and large dane
ing pavilion built ont over the lake. All
of these are run by the Union Pacific,
who guarantee first-class resort In every
respect.
The Union Pacific has made low rates
OF fare for those desiring to visit Salt
Lake City and Garfield Beach.
For complete description OF Garfield
Beach and Great Salt Lake, send to E. L.

Hears in the softly-scented winds that pass
Echoes OF voices far and sad which chant:

Dreaming Of fame with fond enraptured look,
Hears in their footsteps as the years pass by;

Gathers their few poor sheaves and humbly

Once more the poor swaybacked letter-car-
rier staggers along with his bag so full thatit
seems to need immediate treatment for the
dropsy. Usually the letter-carrier's bag
contains only three letters, b, a and g, Of
course, but on st. VS. Day it holds many
more. He certainly was not consulted
when this custom was started. However,
the custom Of sending pictorial love letters
full Of Cupids and comic valentines has
fallen into comparative neglect It no
longer has a majority in the Senate. At
present the only person who gets any large
number of valentines is the poor lctter-car-
rier himself. He gets several hundred or
more.
St. Valentine has generally been sus-
pected Of being the guilty originator Of the
customs peculiar to this day, but he can
establish an abb. He didn't have any
thing more to do with it than he had with
writing the Murchisons letter, or perpe-
trating the Whitechapel pleasantr les.
Nobody by the name of Valentine had
any thing to do with the prevailing Gus
toms. An ignorant frontiersman, by the
name of Gazely, got into trouble by not
knowing this fact. He received a valen-
tine that made him mad. His choler, like
his collar, needed to be buttoned down
tight to keep it in its piace. He knew that
there was man named Sam Valentine keep
ing livery stable in a neighboring town,
and supposed he was the man to be held
responsible. He went to that town and be-
gan making abrupt remarks to Sam Valen
tine with a pistol. Sam, who was not a
saint, replied with q double-barreled
musical instrument, and whea the duet
was over, Gazely went home in an ice-box
with more apertures in him than a porous
plaster, while Valentine had to undergo ex-
tenslve repairs at the hands of doctor.
St. Valentines Day is the mean PERSONS
golden opportunity. He, or she, can get
great deal Of revenge for a penny, but I
doubt very much that the millennium is be-
ing hurried thereby.
For instance, Mrs. Smith has forty -four
caliber grudge against Mrs. Jones. Posi-
bly, Mrs. Jones has goaded Mrs. Smith to

A Love Song.

Dearest dear, II thou wouldst measure
What to me is measureleSs,
Half the pain or half the pleasure
OF my loves great tenderness,
Will touch my heart strings for theo-
Since to thee 1t doth belong
And the echo shall adore thee
In song within song.
AS the sun is-to the flowers,
AS the stars-to midnight skies;
AS the rainbow-to the showers,
AS the light-to sightless eyes;
AS the fame is-to the fire,
AS the breeze is-to the sea;
As the gain-to the desire,
So, dear heart, art thou TO me!

Bells OF the Past.

In the distance, sweetly pealing,
Gently DER my senses stealing.
Scenes Of childhood to me bringing
As listen to the ringing
OF those distant bells.
Now their music echoes sadly,
Now reverberating gladly;
Little voices singing weeping,
Little feet the measure keeping
To those distant bells
Hear the bellsi their music swelling,
Happy days to me foretelling;
flushed and beautiful the hour
When from out the wondrous tower
Pealed those youthful bells.
Hast thou listened to loves rhyming
While the bells were sweetly Ginning:
With no wish but to remain
Just to catch the sweet refrain
OF those youthful bells.
Days Of youth and high endesvor,
Wouldst thou could remain forever,
With my joys thy tones are mingling
With merry, merry jingling,
AS Of wedding bells.
Hearts are held In Loves control
Names as one she doth enroll;
Spreads her mantle all around
While sfsr the tones resound
OF our wedding bells.
