For the SUNDAY USIoN.l
THE REILS.


THE BELLS.
In the grey old belfry tower
Four bells hang suspended.
Through the open windows high,
When the day is ended,
With deep voice they speak to me
or some hidden mystery.
Now their voices sharp aud shrill
Now in solemn knelIing
Speak of glory early won,
Or in sadness telling
OF some life gone out il gloom
Passing to the silent tomb.
" Victory ~ sing the smaller bells,
lis The child's soul, leaving
Earth for glory in the skies,
flushed be all your grieving.'
Only JOY for such as these;
Ring your sweetest symphonies.
Deep and stern hear the tones
OF the large bells tolling,
While from earth a weary soul
Flies through shadows rolling
Where? Who knows its destiny
Save the One who sets it free.
Thus alternately they sound,
In their turn repeating,
some 70 glory-some to gloom
All life's joys are feeting"
Morn and evening hear them say,
old and young must pass away
So sit and mediate,
On this life uncertain;
Who will strike for me the bells,
When the sable curtain
Drawn shall show me glory's day,
Or deeper night display.
Matters not what place fill
In the plan eternal
He shall Ordop G ic vi0ht
Grief or joys supernal
Echoing soft the bells repeat,
Death or glory all shall meet"

Two gentlemen, both well-known con.
tractors, were conversing the other evening.
while riding on red car, about the lob of
closing the Paine break.
II tell you," said one, Simpson has Bit
ten OH more than he can chew in taking
that contract for S15,000 He can't do the
job for that amount"
oh, yes he can, too" said the other.
He can complete the job and make $1,000
out of it."
well, my friend. l know that he can't.
reiterated the first contractor, positively.
II know that he can," was the reply,
equally positive.
Both gentlemen paused and gazed in
quiringly at each other.
'I'll tell you what 1 know about il if
you'll tell me what you know" finally said
the first, with grin.
"All right" was the response from the
other. Il know that Simpson can get
away with the job, because he and Major
Huer, the Government Engineer, are as
thick as peas in pod-they are the most
intimate kind of friends--and Huer will
not let his friend lose anything if he can
help it,
We'll, that's pretty good" said the Sec
ond contractor, reflectively, "but l think
my reasons for believing that he cant do
the job are equally as good. / understand
that Tom Snyder has gone about among
the land. holders on the river banks and
obtained options on all the brush within
several miles of the break, and when
Simpson starts in to fill in the break as
he intends, he will find brush very ex-
pensive article-so expensive in fact that
Snyder will make more out of the con-
tract than Simpson ever hoped to-"

WHAT next in the way of municipal ex-
penditure? Here is the Atlanta Constitu-
ton making brave struggle to have that
city purchase an elephant for the Atlanta
public park. If double-leaded editorials
and spirit OF determination to win, will
bring the elephant, Atlanta will presently
be struggling with the question whether an
extra tax must be laid to provide food for
the beast.

THE New York Tribune believes that
interest in the national game is rapidly
declining. 1t regrets the fact, because it
is not demoralizing sport, and scarcely
any other athletic game possesses so many
excellent features, and it is quite free from
the faint of gaming. Searching for the
reason of the decline of interest, the con-
clusion is reached that it is due to 1.oo

TUESDAY week an election for city Of
fcers was held in st. Paul and the reform
ballot system was tried with perfect sue
cess. Time enough was afforded all to
vote, and the voting was absolutely secret.
There was no intimidation or bribery, the
voters were free from espionage, and cast
their ballots without any political ieuten-
ant supervising them. 1t is evident that
the reform system has come to stay.

A J-street car was speeding townwards
from the suburbs.
The passengers were all enjoying the
glorious weather, and everything indicated
the top notch of happiness-with one ex-
ception. That exception was young man
who occupied the very last seat in the car.
The young mans face was tear. stained and
wore most woe-begone expression. Great
sobs-full grown, matured sobs-welled I'D
in his throat ever and anon, which several
times nearly choked him.
Neither he nor his condition was noticed
by the passengers, so wrapped were they in
their admirations of nature But lust as
the car was passing the Capitol an elderly
philanthropic-lo looking old gentleman who
wore wig and stained glasses, happened
to observe the young mans distress and he
went to his side.

on the young mans shoulder.
No, amt SICK was the laconic and
rather snappish reply.

friend or relative dead ?''

a chuckle. Il saw something about that in

Henry Rubenstein, the athletic tonsorial
artist, gave the car reporter some valuable
bits OF information the other day during a
ride out X street.
Many people have no doubt noticed that
within the past year or so it has become
the custom of local BARRIERS to curl ND the
ends of their customers mustaches. and
unless man protests thereat he will
emerge from the BARRIERS shop with the
ends of his mustache turned upward tc-
ward his eyes, This mode of wearing the
mustache used to be monopolized by wait
ers in French restaurants and certain other
classes of foreigners, while sensible Ameri-
cans adhered to the more natural dropping
mustache. The custom of curling the ends
of that hirsute appendage has become so
general that BARRIERS now resort to the use
OF small crlmping- irons to give the ends
thereof more decided twist. The grace.
full, sweeping mustache is NOWADAYS the
exception, and nothing looks odder or finn
nier than to see a big, stalwart man. past
middle life, with cunning little pig.tail
curl to the ends of his mustache, giving
him weakness of facial expression
strangely out of keeping with his general
makeup.
1t was on this subject that Mr.. Ruben
stein dilated. "The CUSTOM" he said Twas
of course brought here by BARRIERS coming
from the East, where it was transplauted
from Europe. 1t was first introduced in
the United States about four years ago." he
replied, but it was known in Europe half
century back"
docs the crimping of the mustache in.
Jure its growth in any way?'
Yes, very seriously. You see human
hair is naturally oily, which indicates a
healthy growth. If a single hair is placed
under powerful microscope it will be
found to resemble a pipe stem-that is, a
little tube runs its entire length. Through
this channel flows current of oil. Now.
If this is damned up it has the same effect
as binding the stalk of plant, the ripe sap
is cut off and decay follows. Therefore, in
ninety nine cases out of one hundred, where
the mustache is crimped it finally begins to
fall out, much to the grief ofits owner. Where
there is unusual vigor this result does not
obtain, which accounts for the exceptions
named"
DO all your customers have their mus
taches curled ?"
"Oh, no; it's the middle-aged and Young
fellows who generally want to carry the
style. When a man begins to wrinkle up
and his knee joints TO rattle he cares very
little for those supposed finer points in his
personal appearance"
DO the dandy police officers like to
have curl put into their whiskers ?''
DO they? Well, / should think so.
There are some very handsome men who
wear the uniform of the city, and they
don't think they are fixed for street duty
until they have their mustaches curled."

HIS breast, anu Win ulSmay ne found that
she had tainted. But his heart beat high
with JOY, for she had called him Dick"
He waded out, waist deep, in the whirl-
ing waters and saw the boat making vain
endeavors to reach them, but the seething
torrent tossed it back like an egg-shell,
and as he looked about the remembrances
of his childhood came over him-when
in glee he would dabble his chubby fingers
in the shining water, and, drawing them
out, would laugh with delight to see the
sparkling drops fall from them, and now,
perhaps, these same waters are to be his
destroyer.
Darling" he moaned, Darling, can
not let you die. Oh, Godw he prayed,
''help me. I never knew how sweet life
was until held her in my arms"
Signing in despair, he looked around,
and then, with a wrench of his disengaged
hand, pulls the door from the hinges, laid
Jessie gently upon it, and striking out
with his strong young arms, pushed the
frail raft with its burden to dry land. after
a terrible struggle with the dashing waters.
A cheer rang out from the people as tired
and faint, Dick dropped to the ground.
Rufus Darnly had Jessie conveyed to
MS hOhc, WuCiC bic TcCclNeu every POSI-
BILE attention.
The next day Dick, none the worse for
his ducking, received a timid little mes
sage from Jessie, asking him to come to
her, as she wished to thank him for
saving her life. When he entered the
room her face flushed, but she gave him
her hand and motioned him to a seat.
But, with glad laugh, he fell upon his
knees beside the couch, and gazed at her
with all the fondness his adoring dark
eyes were capable of expressing. His
arms were soon around her, and her head
pressed against his breast.
"Dick," She murmured.
He raised the pretty face, and kissed
the sweet lips.
"My Jessie" he breathed in sweet con-
tent.
There is another teacher at Sandy
Hollow now. Jessie resigned, on Dicks
account, four years ago. But she still has

more or less nervousness over the political sit

coffee exchange, both by distributors and the
out-of-town trade. The speculation, how
ever, had shown much vigor until this morning
The sharp decline in exchange on Saturday as
then noted and its continued easy range had
first a marked effect upon the French market in
today's opening dealings. Dispatches from
Havre showed that there was general desire TO
cover all outstanding contracts and under the
buying pressure a radical advance Of q. francs
was made. The New York market started this
morning with radical feeling and by the end

24,0O0 bags, which was the largest busi-

and finally shot upward fully 80 and 65 points.

over the situation IN the belief that shipments
