MY LITTLE

She stood at tho open window,
A picture sweet and fair;
My neighbor's little daughter,
A lassie with nut brown hair.
A bonnie, winsomc lassie,
With a face like q blossom sweet
She stood at the open window
Watching the busy street.
.Homesick and sad and lonely,
At tho close Of the summer day,
Istood at my open window
On the other sido OF the WY.
And l saw the little maiden,
So near me and yet so far;
In her innocent, childish beauty.
As pure us tho angels are.
And q smile Of radiant beauty,
AS she saw me, flashed yer her f0ce
Like a ray Of golden sunshine
That lights up some darkened place.
No moro was I sad and lonely,
And gone where the shadows gray,
For that smile Of friendly greeting
Had banished the gloom away.
Oh, bonnie little maiden,
II wish of mine could bring
Earth's choicest, richest blessings
To thee, OH fortunes wing,
How free from care or SORROW
Thy happy life would lie.
My neighbours little daughter.
The lassie who smiled at me.

Street Signs in St. Louis.

Since the removal of the old street
lamps which bore the names of the differ
ont thoroughfares the inhabitants of st.
Louis have been the subjects of much
bewilderment when taking their walks
abroad at night. The street inspector of
the city has the credit of being struck
by happy thought in the idea of de-
noting the streets by shadow signs. The
nameof the street is painted on the cleo
trio light globe and the shadow is thrown
on to the ground. Painted letters of
three-quarters of an inch give a shadow
of five feet, which can be easily read
over twenty yards away.-Exchange.

A Queer Place to Swarm

Bees sometimes select queer abodes,
but one of the queerest yet is the home
of a newly swarmed colony in Augusta.
They have taken possession of a ventil-
ator Aue of the chimney leading from

house and as many as fifty VI at times
buzzing around Clerk of Courts Choate's
desk. AS yet they have stung no one,
but the occupants Of the room do not feel
quite ut ease.-Lewiston Journal.

Bov,s PRAYER.

Smart children's saying are rather
overdone, but there was q good deal Of
diplomacy about a little fellow who
prayed long and earnestly for a double
ripper. Finally his mother toldhim that
perhaps God didn't think best for him ia
have o double ripper, and his next
prayer was formed q little differently,

A High Tea Quite Another Thing.

Gas 1 rode from Boston out to Lynn"
said q New Yorker, "two typical women
of the Hub sat near me in thohorse car.
Their gray hair was neatly coiled, their
bonnets were serviceable and their gowns
designed more for use than ornament;
their voices were low, and one of them
read aloud to the other little items from
alarge work on botany. Your true Bos-
tonian loses no chance to improve her
mind. Presently heard the reader say:
"'Why, that is the same thing as high
sup!
"Her companion and I were ignorant
on the subject Of high-sup, and to the
former she said:
"'Surely you know high-sup; don'tyou
ever read the Bible? Don't you remem-
Der that they put a spongeful of vinegar
on high-sup and offered it to Christ on
the cross?:'"-New York World.

Had No soost for Angels.

A little boy was the other day asked
if he did not wish that a certain lady of

wagging the Tongue in Sleep.

Many persons, of all ages and both
sexes, in perfect health cannot hold their
tongues when asleep. This habit is due
to indigestion or to cerebral irritability.
The remedy is an early meal before go
ing to bed, taking half a pint of cold wa
ter before putting the head on the pill
low, and always sleeping on the right
side-never on the back. In case of pre-
mature wakefulness a copious draug ht
of water usually induces sleep.-New

Heieht of Lu,ninous Clouds.

A series Of experiments have been con-
Quoted in Germany during the past year
with the object of determining the height
of luminous clouds, and a large number
of Photographic impressions have been
secured. From these q valuable fund of
information on cloud phenomena has
been gained. The result of comparing
the various results obtained at different
observatories goes to show that these
clouds have the extraordinary altitude
of fifty-one and one-half miles above the
sea level.-New York Telegram.

Fear Is Not Always Cowardice.


When any kind of fear so takes pos
session of a man as to destroy or palsy
the antipodal quality Of courage then 1t
is that it degenerates into cowardice.
Fear and courage are counterparts in the
human character, each needing the other
to balance and limit it. The fear of fire,
for example, is absolutely essential to
preserve life; but let it be unaccom-
panied by courage and the pitiable COW
ard couches in terror while his wife and
his children perish in the fames.-New
York Ledger.

Tho Passion for Knowing.

knowledge is valuable as a lever to
lift men and women to a higher plane of
being, but it is not in itself the be-all
and the end-all of existence. The passion
for knowing is superior to the knowledge
itself, but both together are not sufficient
to insure the welfare of anation. There
must also be the desire, the effort and
the wisdom so to uso the knowledge as to
improve and cxalt the character, and so
to cultivate the whole nature of those we
teach as to make them not only better
scholars, but better and nobler men and
women.-New York Ledger,

Railroad Extension.
The Dodgeville Chronicle.


The letting of the contract for the
construction of the Kickapoo Valley
and Northern railway seems to have
stirred up the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Co. to look after its interests,
and is likely to result in movement
of far-reaching importance to this part
of the state. Dispatchs from Richland
Center and Viroqua state that party
of surveyors in the employ of that
company started out from the former
place on Saturday and from the latter
place on Monday, to survey the line
between those cities, indicating that
the Richland Center and Viroqua link
is to be built with all possible haste.
Should this link be built, there is little
doubt that the company will still fur
ther perfect its system by extending
its Mineral Point branch to Lone
Rock via Dodgeville, and also, prob
ably, by extending its New Glarns
branch to this city. With these lines
completed, the st. Paul Co. would
have the southwestern part of the
state pretty "solid" and we would
have ready facilities for getting from
anywhere to everywhere else.
The Richland Republican.
There is considerable excitement in
Richland Center, caused by the ap-
pearance of corps of the st. Paul
Railway companys surveyors. 1t is
predicted that an extension of this
road north at an early day will be
made, and eventually, a through line
this way from Chicago to st. Paul.
The surveyors have already commenced
work north of town.

that this railroad will now be COM

This new piece of railroad will be
built to the Mississippi valley, and
connect with the The Burlington.
