Too Late.

The justice of the peace had just
finished the ceremony which made two
young people, whose appearance was
unmistakably rural, man and wife,
when middle-aged man appeared on
the scene. The bride murmured
"Par!" and then cast her glance toward
the floor. The young man shifted his
weight from one foot to the other, and
exclaimed, in q way that would have
seemed quite hearty if his voice
had not faltered so:
@Evenin' to ye, neighbor; event."
By this time the girl had recovered
her balance, and smoothing q lock Of
reddish hair from her temple with the
palm of her hand, she said:
I'D like fur to know whut brings
you all these here miles, interferin'
with other folks, when the Lord knows
there's huff holm an things to do to

old man turned to the bridegroom and
said:

people are all savages. The atmosphere
is murky, and the streets are covered
with black mud. never saw 80 many
white people before. I met q cabman
and said: Take me to the most at

to . saloon. drank q cocktail. Then
l met man who looked like . bunco
steerer. That's what he was. I never
saw 80 many white people before, except
IN London, and I never was in London.
Every body was jabbering about money,
and what was most Objectionable to me
was that everybody appeared to be well
led. You can't have great and gem
tlemanly country without an occasional
famine. I like faminea They remind
me OF home. never did see 30 many
white people, but that's another story.

Concerning tho Moon.

There are one or two things about
the moon that every one should know.
Let me mention them. How bright ia
the full moon, do you think? Suppose
you look up at the moon on the next
clear night. The sky is pure pale
blue, and the moon is almost dazzlingly
bright against it. If the whole canopy
of the sky were made up of full moons,
and if one were in the center of such q
shining shell, one might think that the
glare would be intolerable. But let us
see. This very same moon you have
often seen in the daytime as pale white
disk just barely visible against the back
ground of the sky. In fact, unless you
know exactly where to look you may re-
quire minute or two to find it. That
means that the daylight sky is not so
very different in brilliancy from the
nearly full moon, or it means that you
could very well live under sky whose
every part was just IS bright as the
moon itself
We may say, then, that the bright
ness of the moon is not 80 very much
greater than the brightness of the same
area of sky. The total light of the full
moon can be compared with the total
light of the sun, though it is very diff
cult problem, and the result will be
that the sun is as bright Is $50, 900 full
moons. Once again You ought to know
and remember how large the moon is.
Its diameter is about 1000 miles-one-
fourth of the earth-and its angular
diameter Is about half . degree. Az
there are $50 degrees from the east
point to west point Of the horizon meas-
ured through the zenith, there Is room
for $50 full moons in An arch spanning
the heavens from east to west, each one
touching the rims of those next it
Another thing, too, you should notice
and understand The moon looks
larger near the horizon than it does
when il il overhead The common ex-
planstion of this fact is essentially the
true one-that il, the low moon i near
enough to the horizon to be compared
With hills or trees or houses, and conse-
ouently it looks large, while the high
moon Is isolated and one has no term Of
comparison. In both cases the angular
diameter Is about half degree, - you
can prove for yourself with little IN
eenuity.-Y Youths Conapa,ston.

GUTHRIE, Ok, Sept 23.-The grand
rush for homes in the new lands il
over. Another large section heretofore
given over to Indians and virgin nature
has been opened up to civilization.
Last night 5, 900 men and women were
located on farms in the new Eldorado
and were as happy as circumstances
would permit
The rush and excitement was such
that hundreds crossed the line some
time before the hour fixed and thus
made themselves soonerS Scores of
them probably will never be molested,
but there are scores more who by their
actions have only laid up trouble for
themselves and expensive litigation and
1t may be bloodshed for themselves or
for others Take it all in all, however,
the homeseekers were orderly and quiet
and wonderfully law abiding.
A courier in from Tohee SAYS that the
