who eat the least get over their
troubles the quickest, while those who
eat the heaviest are i'll the oftenest.
My experience shows that half the
ailments of life are brought about by
overeating or drinking. l myself

with toast, or fish with potatoes, or a

AT 6, I have hearty, but not heavy
dinner, with soup. fish, meat, vegeta-

his leisure time was mucu taken up by

in this direction. There was one dis

which the late Governor Steward was
endowed. When the governor first

call on the different state officials t.
familiarize himself with the workings
of the different departments. One of
these visits was made to the peniten-
larry. The governor took a great in
terest in the criminals there and the
charges for which they were incarcer-
ated. The answers seemed to surprise
the governor; each man be talked to
told what he was sent up for but d :
clared with all apparent sincerity that
he was not guilty. All around he
went until he came to the last man.

why he did it remarked, swell /

who acknowledges his guilt should be

HISTORY OF WILL o. THE wIsp


The wind blew high, the wind blew low,
The wind paled in the vest
Small hareS came out and danced about
With the birds from the White Owls nest.
An Elf lay hid in cowslip lid
At fall of summer even.
When, thro' the dark, like fireflies' spark,
A star fell out from heaven.
He leaped on the back of a cricket black.
bis torch was wiSp of hay;
Thro' brush and brier, thro' brook and fire
He followed the stars bright ray.
The frogs croai1ed deep, where grasses sleep
The mist wreath circled the hill;
But wide and far he sought the star
Thro' the midnight dark and chill.
The Elin court held rarest sport
And tripped it on the grass,
But must away, at break of day,
Lest mortal footstep pass.
The tiny Queen wore robe of green
And kirtle 'broidered fine;
About her feet rang music sweet,
Four silver bells and nine.
"'Tis time," saith she. ''to haste with me:
The dawn comes up the hill.
The hour is late, we may not wait
But where is Wandering WHIP"
The truant Elf O sorry self.
Came slowly up the lea
Weary and spent, stained and besprent
A woful sight was he.
.Why, luckless wight, this fearful plight?"
Up spake the Elfln Queen;
''The White Owl cries, the darkness flies,
Elves must no more be seen.
Thy mantle torn, thy vow forsworn,
Thou npayst no more remain
With Elftn Band in Elfin Land
Till pardon thou obtain.

When sunbeams die and night moths fly,
Thine errand aye the same.
"And this shall be thy penalty
A mortal, here to stay,
And, near or far, to seek the star
An age long and a.day."
The Elf, he heard, with near a word,
But 10! from tree-top still
A waking bird had overheard
And chuckled-"Whip poor WiNn
Up rose the Queen with angry mien;
Thy word is meet" spake she;
Thou mocking voice, since tits thy choice
Go bear him company
The Gray Cock crew, the White Owl few,
The dawn came up the sky;
The small hareS creep to covert deep
The Elfin Ring is dry.
The wind blows east, the wind blows west,
An age long and a day;
Thro' fragrant swamp, thro' meadows damp
Runs Will o. the Wisp his way.
A wandering light across the night,
He seeks in summer even
When sunbeams die, and night moths f1y,
The star that fell from heaven
And on his track the wind brings back,
When nights are warm and still
In notes of fear from thickets near,
The birds cry, Whip poor Will"

A Boy Wiah a Birthmark Over His Heart
Resembling a Bullet Wound.
A curious story comes from Salt Lake
City, Utah, which is attracting much at
tention from friends and acquaintance of
Policeman Charles f. Wanless, shot and
killed by Joseph A. Barnes, on September
10, 1890. and may furnish medical men with
another subject for discussion. Barnes, il
will be remembered, was having a quarrel
with his wife, which the officer attempted
to stop. Barnes fired and the bullet passed
through Wanless' heart. leaving a jagged
bullet hole in the breast.
A married sister of the dead officer was
t~elegraphed and came for the funeral from
her home in Salt Lake. She was much af-
+ cted by the tragedy and took the loss of
her brother to heart. In a short time she
returned home. About three months ago,
as the report is heard here by the friends
of the late officer, his sister gave birth to a
boy, perfectly formed. but with a red birth

breast by the bullet from Barnes pistol
