viting them to the funeral at o'clock the
next afternoon. Friday noon Jim, in his old
pipe, sat on a rail fence behind the brush
heap, to see the mourners arrive. When
the train came in twenty mourners, most of
them women, got off. They brought flowers
and other offerings, and some of them who
did not know Jim asked him the way to
Lizzie Smiths house. He directed them
ana also heard them talk with each other
about his own peculiarities. Then he made
himself scarce. The wife's relatives came
back to the station pretty mad There were
no accommodations for them down at the
house. and they all had to go home.-Cin-

was thinking of the great times we had
trapping whales off the coast Of Labrador
back in the seventies. when w. c. Coup.
who was p. T. Barnum's first partner in
the circus business, took it into his head
that it would be great thing to take live
whale around the country. 1t was semi
philanthropic scheme to make the inland
population acquainted with the monsters
OF the deep, and it was no small
sized job, you can bet. The
plan adopted for sharing the huge and head
long whale was very like that used by the
fishermen on Lake Michigan. A place
was chosen on the coast where whales were
often seen, and a sort of pound with two
entrances was built out into the sea, the
sides being made of piles driven in, with
strong nets to fill up the spaces between the
piles. When whale got in there he had
great difficulty in escaping, and of course
men were on hand TO complete his capture.
Ii was exciting sport and we had gcSd luck.
for we took seven whales, all OF which were
exhibited In this country and abroad by Mr..
Coup, with great profit to himself and tho
public. 1t was not such good fun for the
whales. They died. "-Pittsburg Dispatch

Where do They all Come From

The number of tall women to be seen
on Broadway is remarkable. Where
do they all come from? It is the
fashion to be tall and straight and
slender and willowy, because it is 9
style well adapted to the best display
of the latest things in Partisan mil.
inery and dress goods. But have
women the power to suddenly grow
taller in order to meet . prevailing
fashion half way, as they might blondine
their hair? It certainly looks like it.
For there never was q time when SO
many tall women could be seen. They
run all the way from five feet six to six
feet two. You can meet six feet
women in couples by the dozen on
Broadway any afternoon. By the side
of the ordinary run of men these
women look six feet six.
There are two theories for the sud-
den excess of tall women-one that
some mechanical process has been dis
covered and is being secretly practiced
by which stout women are drawn out
into long and slender females; the
other, that those women have always
existed and are now suddenly brought
forth from their retirement by the mex
orabie decree of fashion. The latter
would seem to be the most reasonable
explanation. When it was the fashion
for women to be embonpoint the tall
and slender woman hid herself away
from public gaze As much as possible.
She shrunk into her boots and walked

Beyond the cliffs OF La6raaoI

feaff'a henchman, Winter, calls his t<e1n,
And ices beyond the polar main,
Scared BY blusbird on the wing,
CernIean shaft of Spring.
Along the Southland's fartheet rim
Cloud cups are filling to the brim
while from LIES grottoes underground
Comes clear, but faint, a welcome souno'
The grand old earth around has spun
To meet the all-reioicing sun.
Sing. happy voices, joyous sing
Life's greetings TO sweet spring.
On sunny slopes the grass is green,
And springing crocus tips are seen;
The timid violet, in surprise,
Peers at the sun with hah-shut eyes;
Listens to catch the hopeful words
From cheerful reassuring birds,
Cetne showers, come flowers, come 'oyiu'
Cs.is ifurll-clad, charming springl
Already in the farmers eyes,
The teeming golden harvests rise
Replenished are the empty racks;
And thick the clover-sp1ced stacks;
Where the black burrows lie forlorn
Embettled stand dark ranks OF corn,
The stains which to the ploughshare cling
He cleans; quoth he: otis Spring.
Along the path where roses blow
And fragrant banded lilies grow,
The matron walks and counts the hour
Betwixt her and her darling flowers;
HUNS soft tune, and curious, looks,
Against her sense. in sheltered hooks.

For my sweet pearls Of Spring"
Oft on tie border lands of death
Comes, softly blown, quickening breath;
Through the thick mist oft darts q CLEAN

Where, bathed in floods of light divine,
Flowers incompatible shine.
Thus, hi nts Of life eternal cling
To every pulse Of Spring.
