B. F. JONES, of Pittsburg, who

National Committee during the
memorable Blaine campaign in 1884,
and who called the Harrison con-

am in favor OF Harrison's renomi g.

by selecting him to lead the party
again in 1892. His trip West has
clearly proven that hitherto men
have not thoroughly appreciated his
mental stature. He is big, brainy,
patriotic American, and can stand
on his own record. His speeches
are models. | do not know OF any
one who has ever approached him
in the oratorical line except Horace

He Was a stranger in the city.

A very swell loohsng, middle aged
man, apparently every inch Of what is
termed man Of the world, entered a
Broadway car coming down town re-
Gently at Thirty-fourth street. When
the conductor came for his fare the swell
looking, middle aged man addressed him
very politely, saying;
KINDLY let me know when we reach
the Fifth Avenue hotel.
The car rolled along. The street cross
ing leading to the entrance of the Fifth
Avenue hotel was reached, and the car
was brought to halt by the conductor.
The swell looking, middle aged man was
sitting sideways gazing ont upon the
beauties Of Madison square.
s.Fifth Avenue hotel.a the conductor
shouted in the door.
The swell looking, middle aged man
bolted around in his seat and began TO
stare at the big hotel.
Fifth Avenue hotelF shouted the
conductor again, coming into the car.
Then. as the swell looking, middle aged
man did not move, he added somewhat
testify, "Iere is the Fifth Avenue hotel,
sir; are you going to get outF"
ssWhy, no, responded the swell look
ing, middle aged man, surprisedly. Il
only wanted to see the hotel. Heard SO
SO much about it. you know"
The passengers laughed in spite of
themselves, and the conductor went
back to his station and jerked the bell
strap viciously.-New York Times.

Hunting Guinea Eggs.

To find a guinea nest was the very
poetry of egg hunting. The creatures
are half wild, and feed far afield. The
bush pasture WAS their chosen haunt,
and had such store of hidden hooks, such
clumps Of brake and briar, sucn steep
grassy banks, such tangle Of sedge and
dewberry and plum thieket, tnat we
would never have found an egg but Tor
the birds queer habit. When the hen
goes TO the nest her mate stands guard
over her on the nearest bare spot, and
fills the air with his harsh buzzing cry.
Following the sound, we came upon
the nair Madam chooses her home
daintily, and deeply hollows the clean,
dry earth of il. Flowers often nod above
Il Grass is sure to spring greenly about
the edge. Overhead IS always shelter OF
some sort, for the maker knows instinc-
lively that sunshine win addle her pre-
cious eggs. Her small cousin, the par
fridge, so adInires her taste that some
times she decides TO share the nest.
Sometimes, too, q hen Of Independent
mind comes a-grasshopp into the
bush pasture. and pats her eggs into
such shelter. Very often we found forty
eggs TO the nest. And when we took
them out ii was always with silver
spoon. Black NANNY taught as, "Ef
yer puts han in dar, de grlinea'll smell
It am quit dc nea. Whatever the rea-
son. the fact WAS none the less fact. =

How Franco Guards Its aosa.

''The Bank Of France is a remarkable
institution in many ways" said Lewis
c. Carroll, broker Of New York, sbut
in no way is it more remarkable than in
the manner in which It guards the vaults
in which its great stores of gold and sil-
yer are kept. The Bank of France gen
orally carries more gold and always
more silver than any other institution in
the world, WITH the solitary exception of
the United States treasury. But even
the latter does not take such precautions
to prevent thieves from breaking in and
stealing. We confide in bolts and bars,
but while the Bank Of France has COM
plete system of these. il does not deem
them sufficient and adopts a very peeul-
lar means for insuring the security of
its treasures.
'sEyery day when the money is placed
in the vaults in the cellar lot Of ma
sons are on hand and wall up the doors
with hydraulic mortar. Water is then
turned on and kept running until the
cellar is flooded Thus burglar would
have to provide himself with diving
suit and break down q cement wall be-
fore he could begin work on the vaults.
When the officers arrive in the morning
the water is drawn off, the masonry
broken down and the vaults opened. 1t
is difficult TO imagine how the most ex-
pert burglar would penetrate all these
defenses, and certainly the treasures of
the Bank of France are better guarded
than any in the world st. Louis Post

Over the River.

Over the river they beckon TO me.
Loved ones who've crossed to the other side
The CLEAN Of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are drowned in the rushing
tide.
There's one with ringlets of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection of heavens own blue.
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view
We saw not the angels who met him there.
The gates Of the city we could not see;
Over the river. over the river,
Ny brother stands waiting to welcome me.
Over the river the boatnan pale
Carried another-the household pet;
Her brown curls waved In the gentle gale
Darling Minnie! see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark:
We watched It glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she Is safe on the farther side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the river, the mystic river,
My childhood's idol Is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
We catch CLEAN Of the snowy sail,
And lol they have passed from our yearning
heart;
They cross the stream and are gone for ayel
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates of day
We only know that their barks no more
May sail with US o'er Life's stormy sea:
Yet somewhere, know, on the unseen shore,
They watch and beckon and wait for me.
And 81. and think, when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
shall one day stand by this water cold,
And List for the sound of the boatman's oar;
shall watch for CLEAN Of the Tapping sail;
shall hear the boat as it gains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale
To the better shore of the spirit land.
shall know the loved who have gone before
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river.
The Angel OF Death shall carry me.

When We Plant the Tree.

What do we plant when VIC plant the tres?
We plant the ship which will cross the sea-
We plant the mast to carry the sails;
We plant the planks to withstand the gales
The keel, the keelson and beam and knee.
We plant the ship when we plant the tree.
What do we plant when we plant lsie tree?
We plant Che houses for you and me;
We plant the rafters. the shi2sles, the floors;
We plant the studding, the lath, the doors.
The beams, the siding, all parts that be;
We plant the house when we plant the tree.
What do we plant when we plant the tree?
A thousand things that we daily see;
We plant the spire that outtowers the crag;
We plant the staff for our country's flag;
We plant the shade, from the hot sun free;
We plant all these when we plant the tree.

To catch the first dim radiance of the dawn.
And slow to note the cloud that threatens

The fragrance and the beauty of the rose
Delight me so, slight thought give its thorn'
And the sweet music of the lark IS clear song
STAYS longer with me than the nighthawk's cry.
Even In this great throe of pain called Life
I find rapture linked with each despair,
Well worth the price OF Anguish. detect

Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes
