ITS THEIR WAY.

She was at the ticket window of the
Park place station, and there were
seven other people behind her.
"Is the next train for HarlemH" she
asked with her mouth at the opening.
"Dunno-hurry up"
Il want to go to Harlem" she said,
as she opened her ~reticule, and I
don't want to change"
"Yes'm-hurry up!" said the ticket
man, as the seven increased to ten.
Il came down with a 50 bill, end I
got it changed on Fulton street" she
calmly continued, as .she hunted
around.
"You, therer" called some one in the
line.
q know I got it changed, and I'm
sure l put the change in here. If any
body has picked my pocket Tll-
Hurry up, ma'am!" called the man
inside.
Eyes, I'm h~urrying. Dear me! but
l don't seem to find it!'
"BfOve on, there called four or
five men.
YES, I'm going to move on right up
to Harlem as soon as I can find my
money. Wonder if I was absent-minded
enough to put it in my pocket. If 1
was"-
"Get that woman out of that"

"You must hurry up, ma'am"
added the ticket-seller.
Whats the awful rush9" she asked
as she continued to hunt, while the
crowd now numbered twenty. Tive
got purity nigh a dollar in change if
you'll only wait till I find it. Here's
the key of the front door, and here's
my buttonhook, and here's -
The train was coming. The line
pressed forward and she was turned
round and round and carried out to the
ticket box and beyond it, and in her
confusion she turned back and dropped
her door-key into the box and said:
For the lands sake! but what's all
this rush and stew about, anybow3
You folks all act as if somebody was
dying and you was runnin' for the

STEWED CELERY.
IN SUNNI RS DAY.

The other day, at one of the railroad
depots, [ saw q gray haired woman of
fifty whose face betrayed such sorrow
and anxiety that I softly approached
to hear the story she told to a police
man. She had coma to look for a
daughter who had left home last spring
and Of whom no tidings had been re-
ceived for several long weeks. She
had made a journey of a hundred miles
expecting almost that the first person
she met in this city could give her the
information she so craved. When she
realized the hopelessness of her search
she sat down and wept as mothers do
when their hearts are breaking. Bv
and by, as she grew calmer, she told
me the story, and I felt a cold chill
creep over me as she talked,
A girl of eighteen had left her home
up in one of the valleys to take a situa-
ton in New York. She left behind her
only a widowed mother-this woman
beside me. AS she talked to me
through her tears I could call up the
scene at the humble little home-the
packing of the trunk-the tears-the
pronlSes-the heart-aches over the
separation. Letters had been frequent
at FIRST, but as the weeks rolled by
they came at longer intervals and
finally ceased altogetl er. The mother
had written and waited, and watched
and grown desperate. Who could
give her news Of Mary' Who could
help her to find her only childG She
had neither street nor NUMBERING
clue as to her whereabouts.
And as she sought to force back her
tears and control her emotion another
picture rose up before me and l dared

Poetry.
H BABY'S BED.

The baby must have a cradle"
The fair young mother said:
" De must have a place of his very own
70 nestle his precious head;
He shall have a dOwny pillow,
and a cOverlet soft and white,
And the lattiCe-wOrk shall be woven through
With ribbons, dainty and bright"
oh, yes; he must a a Cradle!"
The proud young father said,
As he smOOthed with tremulOus fingers
The pretty. Curl-crOwned head;
He takes a world of comfort
As he slowly, sit epily swings,
Half waking and half dreaming.
While his mother rocks him, and sings
50 planned the fond young parents,
A. they watched their darIlng5 grace,
Yst they did not buy a cradle
For the hab>'S resting place;
But they bought a tiny casket
As white as the drltted snow.
And their hearts were well-nigh broken
WIN a sudden weight of woe.
and they laid the beautiful baby
IL a bed of his very own,
and strcwed it with smilax and lilies,
And roses white and half blown;
And his illOw was soft and dOwny,
The blossoms covered his breast,
And he slept and needed no rocking
TG deepen his quiet rest.

WANTED A FAVOR.

A traveller for a New York dry
goods house was in the smoking car
of a train on an Ohio roailroad when a
horny-handed young farmer came in
| for a smoke and sat down beside him.
The young man felt and looked happy,
and pretty o he remarked:
Il heard some n saying you WAS
from New York"
Yes"
Drummer, amt you"
Eyes"
BIN around a good deal, 1 'spose?'
"Weu I've been travelling for fifteen
years"
"ShooI You must have seen a heap.
Say! I've got a sort of favor to ask
of you"
"Wellm
I'm engaged to a gal in the next
car. I'm goin' with her down to
Medina. She's the alI-fredest purtiest
| gal in four counties, and l know she
loves me, butt
But what7"
You know a Teller is allus sort
O. uneasy about his gal till he marries
her. She pertends that she wouldn't
| even look at the President of the United
States if he was a single man, but l

NO, you can't"
May be pertendin' to love you like a
house afire, and yet be plannin' to drop
you for the first better-lookin' Teller
who comes along. She's in the next
car and Id kinder like to try her.
I'm purity sure she's all right, but I'd
like to know just how she'd act if you
went in and sat down beside her. I
know it's askin' a big favor of you,
| but -
"Oh, I'm perfectly willing to eco
modate you" interrupted the traveller,
"but you must promise to abide the
| consequences"
Howl"
why, if she seems to take to me
you mustn't get mad and raise a row.
I'm only trying to accommodate you,
you know"
Dye think she'll take to youf"
"Why l can't say. She's sitting in
a seat alone. I'll take my grip and
walk into the car and sit right down
| beside her"
Yes"
Then I'll speak about the weather
the scenery-ask where she is going,
and so on, and the chances are hat in
about ten minutes we'll be talking
away like two old friends"
"Humph! 1t took me three months
afore 1 dared ask if her ma was wellI'
Then I'll gradually lead up to the
subject of my being a widower," con
tinued the traveller. I'm remark
how lonely I am, and how I'm think
ing of marrying again, and how my
second wife will have sealskin eacque,
diamond earrings and a horse and car
riAge. If you come in and find me
holding her hand you mustn't fly mad
and pitch into me-"
Coin to talk sealskin sacque to
her, ehW
yes"
"And diamond earringsfo
yes"
And tell her she can have regular
Brussels carpet, stuffed chairs and a
hired gala"
Certainly"
"You wait a minit!"
He got up and left the car. Just
then the whistle blew for a station and
the train soon stopped. The traveller
looked out of the window and saw the
young man and his girl getting off
with as much alacrity as if there had

A Brilliant Career Ended.

Our dispatches yesterday contained the
announcement that H. Victor Newcomb,
one of the boldest aud most successful oDer-
ators in Well street, had been taken to en-
insane asylum. Heis one Of the best known
men in the country, having attained promi-
hence in connection with one of the greatest
railroad systems in the south.
1t is not probable that Mr.. Newcomb
will ever take part in business affairs again.
His insanity. it is believed, is not due to
nervous prostration caused by overwork.
His mother was insane. and was confined
in madhouse for thirty-five years, and
1t is probable that his affection is inherited.
Mr.. Newcomb has not been sound men
tally for quite a long time. His conduct
has attracted attention for several years,
but no one suspected that his eccentric
actions were the signs of disease that would
eventually necessitate his confinement in
an asylum. Last October he returned from
a trip to Europe, and just before reaching
New York his condition became such as to
greatly alarm his wife. He was taken to
his splendid Fifth avenue home and was
never again able to attend to his affairs.
Gradually he became violent, and when it
was no longer safe to be in his presence he
was taken to the institution in which, in all
probability, he will end his days.
A few years ago. when he was power in
the railroad world and in Wall street, no
one would have ventured to predict such a
sad ending Of so brilliant career. He was
regarded as an exceptionally able man. and
his success made him the center of as brill
liant a set Of men as there was to be found
| in New York. Those who did not know OF
his affiiction will hear of his sad fate with
| great surprise.

Trials of an Author.

There came to a man who has been q success
in literature which we should envy did we not al
agree that he deserves it, says Arlo Bates in tbs
Book Buyer, a lady who was neither young nor
fair, but who had the assurance OF youth in
combination with the obs tinacy of advancing
years.
Il have decided" she said to him, that |
must earn my living by writing poems. | sent
poem to the Blank Magazine and they re-
turned it with printed slip. Now, ] want you
to write to the editor and tell him that he made
a mistake"
1t naturally seemed to the author that he had
to deal with humorist or a mad woman; but
the Lady was certainly in earnest and apparently
sane. He endeavored to show her that it was
not his business to interfere with the decisions
OF editors OF magazines. who might be supposed
to know their own business.
The lady insisted, however, and at the end he
was forced to decline point blank to do what she
asked. Thereupon sne turned upon him and
declared that he was one of those who epdeav-
ored to keep others out in order that they may
have the field to themselves and who are meanlY
jealous of other authors who are sure to eclipse
them if they are but heard.
1T is all a ring" she declared with vehemence.
u have been told so before, and now am sure
OF It. can't make you do justice to me, but l
can show you up"
Her method OF showing him up" has been to
send letters Of bitter invective to the papers,
one OF which fell into nv hands. OF course
nobody would print them, but she per5everes,
and in addition to this she sends to the lucgless
author. whose crime is that he did not make
the editor print the rhymes of an unknown
woman, a letter onca q week.
OF course he burns them unopened, and it is
not easy to see what satisfaction 1t can be to the
woman to keep on with this sort of thing: but
the TACT remains that she does. The story is
not of profound Importance but il throws a
curious bid of side light upon the life Of the
successful author of TO-DAY.
