A Great Possession.

There is q certain something which
for the want of better name, is called
womanliness, and it is that which makes
women attractive to men. A great
many virtues go to make up this one
great possession, and they are what
men like in women.
Men like, In the first place, amiability
in a woman.
They like pleasant appearance.
They like the doing Of little things
that are pleasant to them.
They like the courtesy Of the fire
side.
They like women whose lives and
faces are always full of the sunshine of
a contented mind and a cheerful dis
position.
They like an ability to talk well and
knowledge of the virtue Of silence.
They like motherliness big enough
to understand the wants of the older as
well rs the younger boys.
They like disposition to speak
good. rather than evil, of every human
being.
They like sympathy-which
means willing ear for the tale of
sorrow or gladness.
They like knowledge of how to dress
well, which, by the bye, doesn't mean
conspicuously. Men are most attract
ed by good material, plain draperies,
and quiet colors; not by showy colors
or designs.
They like Intelligence. but lhey pre-
fer that the heart should bs stronger
than the brain.
They like a companions woman
who has sufficient knowledge of the
world and its ways to talk well with
them. who is interested in their lives,
their plans, and their hopes; who
knows how to give cheering word, or
to listen quietly and by a tender look
express the grief which the heart is
feeling.
They may sometimes say that chill
drcn are q bore and nuisance, but a
man shrinks from woman who openly
declares her dislike of them. A man
expects the maternal instinct in
woman, and is disappointed If he does

puin,n. Mass. 10 the NepOnsett river.
II wa commenced i'll 1896 and finished
ia 1871. The %augc was five feet; the
rails were pine, Il foot thick, covered
with hard oak. which was in turn
strapped with iron. In January, 1927
It short coal road was completed from
the mines to Mauch Chunk, Pa. The
rails ON this road were also of timber
with Hat iron bars The first locomo-
tive for use on - railroad was invented
hv Richard prryilrck in 1904. and first
tried in Wales. George Stephenson
built ,hr first really successful locomo-
tive in lSIi. aud tested il upon the
killn"mood road in the north Of Eng

service constructed III America was T.

''The Land OF Stoves and Sunshine

Ihe Lanu or stoves and Sunshine" "
Pirate, ye who will, of so-called charms Won
find across the sea-
The land of stoves and sunshine Ia yood
enough for me!
I've done the grand for fourteen months in
every foreign cline,
And I've learned II heapof learning. .but I've
shivered all the time;
And the biggest bit of wisdom I've ocuuir-
ed-as can See
Is that which teaches that this lnnd's the
land OF lands for me.
Now, am of opinion that person shoulc
get some
Warmth in this present life of ours, moi
all In that to come;
30 when Borcas blows his blast, through
country and through town,
Or when upon the muddy streets the stiff
ling fog rolls down,
Go, guzZle in n pub, or Dlod some bleak
malarious grove,
But let me toast my shrunken shanks be
side some Yankee stove.
The British people say they ''donI bcIiey,
in stoves, y'knOw;"
Perchance because we warmed 'em so com,
pletely years ago!
They talked of ''drahfts" and ''stufiiness'
and "ill effects of heat"
AS they chatter in their barny rooms ol
With sunshine such a rarity, and stoves
esteemed sin,
What wonder they are welded to theil
fads-catarrah and gin?
In Germany are stoves galore, and yet you
seldom find
fire within the stoves, for German stoves
are not that kind;
The Germans say that fires make dirt, and
dirt's an odious thing,
But the truth is that the pfennig is the
average Teuton's king,
And since the fire costs pfennigs, why, the
thrifty soul denies
Himself all heat, except what comes with
beer and exercise.
The Frenchman builds a fire of cones, the
1rishman of peat;
The frugal Dutchman buys fire when he
has need of heat
That is to say, he pays so much each day
to one who brings
The necessary living Goals to warm his
soup and things;
In Italy and Spain they have no need tC
heat the house
Meath balmy skies the native picks the
mandolin and lOuse.
Now, we've no moldy catacombs, no feuda
castles grim,
No ruined monasterles, no abbcys ghostly
dim;
Our ancient history Is new, our futures
all ahead,
And we've got tariff bill that's made al
Europe sick abed-
But, what Ia best-though short on tomb
and academic groves
We double discount Christendom on sun
shine and on stoves.
Dear land of mine / come to YOU from
months of chill and storm,
Blessing the honest people whose heart
and heerths are warm;
A fairer, sweeter song that this I mean t.
weave to you
When I've reached my lakeside 'dobe ant
have once got heated through;
But even then, the burthen of that fai
song shall be
That the land of stoves and sunshine i
good enough for mel-Eugene Field

his hand u black oil cloth carpet bag OF
enormous dimensions. but lean and
| lank withal as if one shirt would answer
all requirements of toilet. in this wild,
unculturcd country.
He was tall, decidedly angular. and
past the meridian of life. His eye, n
pale, light blue, was rs mild rs SKINNED
milk. His whiskcrs were white and OF
moderate thickness. There was u gen
eral air of timidity about him; he had
been warned TO not let the Indians get
him and he carried the warning in his
eyes.
| There lived al his time in Kansas
City a hotel runner named "'bill
| Bucher." Buchcr was known far and
wide rs n ssbully." He was of medium
size, weighed about 100 pounds and
was one Of the quickest and hardest
| hitters in all western Missouri. lie
was a scientific boxer and as plucky a
boy as one would expect to meet. In
the dozen and one fisticuffs he had had
during . brief sojourn IN Kansas City
| he had come out victor in all.
There was another pugilistic hero at
the same time who gloried in the sobri-
quet of .sWild Jack, )" an Irish drayman,
Jacks early education in the ''manly
art had not been altogether neglected,
and as he was good stuff from the toes
up, it was n mighty solid man that
| could sit down on him.
Jack was perhaps five feet nine
inches high, and may have weighed $50
pounds. He was loose jointed, double
| listed, wild eyed and red headed He
had all the lrishman's love of a
ssskrimmige' and could raise Il row on
the poorest soil in America.
One day Jacks only brother was
| attacked by three other Irislmcn on
Delaware street nearly opposite where
the Grimes building now stands. The
street was being graded and the dump
on the east and south was nearly seven
feet high. One of the men named
William Dougherty struck Jack $
brother on the side of the head with a
club and laid him out, producing 4
wound from which he died in few
hours. Jack arrived upon the ground
| just rs his brother was struck down.
Firing his heavy right hand at Dough-
erty he caught him terrible blow on
| the cheek with a force of apple driver,
knocking him clear over the dump.
Then whirling around to confront the
next man he gave him powerful blow
under the chin with his left hand which
sent him sprawling over the other end
of the dump. BY this time the third
man was upon him, but Jack ; ponder
Gus hand doubled him up on the ground
at the first pass. BY this time Dough-
erty had returned to the attack, but
before he had fairly reached firm
ground Jack lunged forward and hit
ting him squarely in the face drove him
backward over the bank again. Thus
meeting his three enemies III detail he
battled like a gladiator.
