superstitious About nis WIN

There is a man in town who has rheu.
matte govt. He has also great riches and
a collection of art and curios that have
been the Joy and solace of a life much
broken up by the twinges of his great
toe This collection he values beyond his
money, and is in great fear of it falliXe
into the hands of a relative who is his
nearest heir This he is determined at
all hazards shall not occur; at the same
time, he will not make will, although
his attacks of govt are frequent and dan
gerous.
AS many men he is superstitious about
making a will He feels that if it was
once done there would be nothing left but
to wait for the undertaken The result
is that when he is free from pain he feels
the collection to be safe, but when an at
tack comes on it is intensified by the
mans ludicrous fear lest he will die be-
fore he has put it out of his brothers
reach.
His doctor and friends have argued
with him, but to no purpose Every time
he is violently seized the servants run for
the doctor and lawyer at the same time.
Tables are drawn up, and pen. ink and
paper are in readiness as promptly as the
medicines, Again and again wills have
been drawn up, but no matter how low
he has been he has never yet signed one
The other day he had violent seizure.
There was the usual hurry and scurrk
He was really felt to be dying. and as tfa@
end was supposed to be near he was held
up i'll bed, quill III hand, and the family
held their breaths in suspense at the
spectacle His breath was growing fainter
and fainter His hand was carried to the
paper, but he did not sign. He seemed to
be calculating for just time enough to
scratch his name, and then, in the Ian
guage of the novelist, to let the pen drop
from his nerveless grasp and expire The
alarm of the family finally gave way to
an unruly curiosity as to which would
win. the sick man or death. But the old
man won. He breathed better and at
length he spoke out with an air of deci-
sion: Il guess | won't sign it today "
They knew then he was safe for another
attack.-New York Evening Sun.

TIE SONG OF COLOR.

He began his strain
Far backward Ia the green Devonian age,
When no bright blossom hung on any tree
Its crimson petals or its golden bell;
No single fruit CLEANED ruddy in the sun,
But all the jungle waste of primal growth,
Gigantic marestails. ferns and ancient pines,
Rolled one susurrent sea of endless green;
And giant Mayfiles poised on gauzy wing
Ger tepid swamps. and antique grasshoppers
Chirruped the oldest music of the world.
Threading that green and gloomy forest floor,
He marked as emerald age succeeded age,
The slowly kindling dawn of sylvan love;
The pines and cycades sighed with tender need,
The grasses beckoned with their feathery plumes
And whispered: Hasten, sweetest or we die"
And through the woods for centuries the wind
Drifted the amorous pollen, till the waste
Was checked by Color, and th instructive tree
Hung out its lamps of blossoms wooed and won
The aid of myriad murmuring insect swarms
In the vast stress and strain of eafy life;
Hung out its glowing fruit that beast and bird
Might guard its life, assist its kindly race
In conquest of the hungry continents

APlace to Grow Up.

Some years ago, Horace Greeley s
advice, to $50 West, and grow up
with the country" was thought not
only smart saying, but good counsel.
1t is no doubt such still, but it's age
counts against it some, besides which,
there is no unsettled West. The
West is new, to be sure, but it has
more thriving cities, with water
works, electric street cars, eight-sto-
ry building, and town-lot boomers, to
the acre than any other part of the
country. For the man who has his
fortune to make, the New South or
the great State of Texas, offer oppor-
tunities not to be surpassed. In de-
velopment, they are really newer than
the Northwest Or the Pacific coast.
TO all points in the South, "The Bur-
lington," with it's own tracks to st.
Liols and Kansas City, is the route
beyond all others for the young or old
man who is looking southwark for a
home.
