Excuse me. sir" he said, addressing
one OF them, "but l must ask you to re-
move that wrap. 1t is not allowable
here for two people to be covered by the
same shawl"
Jack sprang to his feet, madden than
any halter, and Margery's face grew as
red as the sunset that only few hours
before had bathed the sand with its
ruddy glow.
what do you meanP" demanded
Jack. Would you insult me?"
"Oh, no-no-no," spluttered the police
man, "No insult Misunderstanding of
the kind, only it's our rule, you see, not
to let two people be covered with the
same shawl, and we can't break it even
in your case"
And on he went.
Margery wasn't so mad as she was
anus ed. But Jack was huffy all the way
through.
And than he vowed vengeance, and 1t
was such pleasant sort or vengeance,
that II was worth telling. He insisted
upon kissing Margery then and there
and though she took the naughty boy
home at once, by the shortest route
which she knew, he kissed her at inter-
walls Of every ten steps all the way, de-
claring that he was doing it to try to
spoil the reputation Of Ocean Grove. He
said he hoped every one in the place
would see him do IL, and that all the
summer people would go away telling
what fearfully immoral things took
/ place at Ocean Grove, and how much
worse 1t was than at Asbury.
Margery said she would have liked it
we'll enough il they had been all alone,
but TO have Jack acting so in the street
is fearfully embarrassing, and her only
comfort was that the next day she ex-
pected to leave for Narragansett, and so
she didn't care so very much what peo-
pie did think. She also said that during
the past three years, she and Jack had
taken many a buggy ride, covered by
the same lap robe, had driven in the
same cutter covered by the same fur
skin, and had sat upon the front seat of
many q dear littlel road cart with the
same lap robe carelessly tucked about
them.
Composite pictures are the newest
creations Of art which are being achieved
by the seaShore girls. Making them Is
lots Of fun, and IL the result is Rot al

blamed, because IL is such lots Of fun 70

possible uncertainties in outline which

This is the mode OF procedure. The

"And this you see, is ship, and 1t is
sailing toward that line where the sky
and the sea seem to meet. How charm
Ing it would be il we were in that ship,
you and I. and were sailing away on it
away off somewhere"
And then she-the young woman
makes few tiny marks right upon the
deck of the ship.
This is picture of you and me, -"
she says, sailing upon that ship, and we
are going away-away off somewhere
some place that we will both like"
And so the work Of sketching goes on.
Can any one be blamed il there are a
few irregularities in the outline of a
picture which is produced under such
charming circumstances as this?
AS the season, that is, the seashore
season, begins to draw to close, good
bye scenes and farewell greetings are
becoming everyday affairs. AS usual,
flowers are the things for rememb rance,
and the seashore girl tries her very best
to secure few to give to those in whose
memory she wishes to be cherished after
the season and the flowers have become
things of the past Very few Seashore
places rejoice in flower gardens, and so

MURDER AND ROBBERY.
Train Robbers XIII brakeman Within
Two Miles of Kansas City.


Two Miles of Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, August 22.-One
OF the most lonely and desolate spots in
Clay county is Murray's switch, about
two miles out of Kansas City. Here Is
placed box where the conductors on
the Hannibal and st. Joseph road signal
to see if the bridge Is clear. For two
miles in every direction there is not a
house, and the country is overgrown
with underbrush and weeds.
Here this morning freight train No.
IS stopped for the purpose OF signaling
the bridge. As the train slowed up the
head brakeman noticed two men stand
ing in the moonlight. They were tall,
smooth-Shaven, and their heads were
barred. In their hands they held their
hats, which appeared to have wells
floating from their rims. AS Conductor
Cassie turned away from the box after
giving the signal he was confronted by
the two men, who, with drawn re-
volvers, ordered him to throw up his
hands. They then searched his clothes
and found SO and a gold watch, which
they took. They asked who was in the
caboose and were told that it was empty
with the exception OF the rear brake
man. They ordered the conductor to
give the signal to go ahead and then
marched him back to the caboose.
As they walked along they saw Ed
White, the rear brakeman, standing on
top of the train, and with oaths they
ordered him to come down. He started
to obey, but just as he was about to go
to the ladder shot was fired by one OF
the men and the man fell on top Of the
car.
Cassie was made to get into his ca
booSe and the robbers went on top OF
the train and searched the brakeman's
clothes and then went forward few
cars and dropped off into the weeds and
disappeared. Cassie went to see how
badly White was hurt and found him
lying with bullet hole through his
forehead stone dead.
1t was four hours before the authori-
ties were notified, and then there was
no possible clew or trace by which the
robbers could be followed, and their
cap5ure is considered an impossIbility.

THE WORLDS AGE.
Biologists Say 1t is 90,OOO,OOO Years at
the Very Least.

Assuming that the average rate OF de-
mutation in past geological ages did not
materially differ from what 1t is at pres
emit, and that the total quantity Of
stratifed rock wonld, II uniformly
spread over the whole globe, form a
layer 1000 feet in thickness, we have,
says writer In the GentlenGn's Mdgd-
zine, total period of 1000, multiplied
by 5000, multiplied by four, or $4,000
600 years. This, however, only repre-
sents the time necessary to deposit the
rocks which have been formed by de-
mutation from older rocks
DR.. Croll estimates that three miles Of
rock have been removed since the be-
ginning Of the old redstone- This would
indicate q period of 100000 years.
Assuming that the period before the old
red sandstone was equally long, We
have 90, OO0, 600 years IS the minimum
duration Of geological time"

inches in length, as you we'll remember,
and with an energy and remorseless
fury he slices the watermelons that lie
in heaps around him and shares them
with his serving friends. Other
sinews of war are not wanting
here. Whisky, Mr.. Speaker, that
great leveler of modern times,
is here also, and the shells Of the water
melons are filled to the brim. Here
again, Mr.. Speaker, is shown how the
extremes of barbarlsm and civilization
meet. As the Scandinavian heroes OF
old, after the fatignes Of battle, drank
wine from the skulls of their slaugh-
tered enemies in Odin's hall, so now our
militia General and his forces from the
skulls of melons thus vauquished in CO.
pious draughts of whisky assuage the
heroic fire OF their souls after the bloody
scenes of parade day.
But alas for this short-lived race OF
ours. All things will have an end, and
so even is it with the glorious achieve
ments Of our militia General. Time Is
on the wing, and will not stay his flight,
the sun, as If frightened at the mighty
events Of the day, rides down the SKY,
and at the close Of the day when the
"hamlet is STILL" the curtain OF night
drops upon the scene.

Exhales its odor, blazes asd expires"

ly, as the negroes say, described him
self as a "milita general on peace es-
tablishment." This speech of Crary's
was delivered in April, 1910, and Corwin
rose iu reply. His speech was entirely
extemporaneOus He said:
We all in fancy now see the gentle
man from Michigan In that most dan
gerouS and glorious event in the life of
militia general on the peace establish
ment, a parade day, the day for which
all the other days Of his life seem to
have been made. We can see the troops
in motion, umbrellas, hoe and axe han
dies, and other like deadly implements
Of war, oYerShadOwing all the field, when
10. the leader Of the host approaches.
Far of his coming Shines"
His plume, white, after the fashion OF
the great BOmbar, is Of ample length,
and made its doleful history in the be-
reayed neck and bosomS OF forty neigh
boring hen roOSts.
Like the great Suwarrow, he seems
somewhat careless in forms and points
Of dress; hence, his epaulettes may be
on his shoulder, back, or side, but still
cleaning, glOriOusly cleaning, in the
sun. Mounted he is, too, let II not be
forgotten.
Need describe to the Colonies and
Generals of this honorable house the
steed which heroes bestride on such Oc-
casions? No. I see the memory OF
other days is with you. You see before
YOU the gentleman from Michigan
mounted on his crop cared.
bushy tailed mare, the singular
obliouitieS of whose hinder limbs is deS-
cribed by that most expressive phrase,
''sickle hams"-her height just fourteen
hands "all told" Yes, sir Then you
see his 'steed that laughs at the shak-
ing of the spear" that is his "war horse
whose neck is clothed with thunder"
Mr.. Speaker, we have glowing des-
criptiOns In history OF Alexander the
Great and mis- war horse Bucephalus at
the head OF the invincible Macedonian
phalanx; but sir, such are the improve
ments Of modern times that everyone
must see that our militia General, with
his crOp-eared marc with bnshy tail and
"sickle ham," would literally brighten
of the battlefield a hundred Alexan-
ders. But, sir, TO the history Of the
parade day.
The General, thus mounted and
equipped, is in the field and ready for
action. On the eve Of some desperate
enterprise, such as giving the order to
soldier arms 1t may be, there occurs a
crisis, one Of the accidents OF war which
no sagacity could see or prevent. A
cloud rises and passes over the sun.
Here an occasion occurs for a display OF
that greatest Of all traits in the charac-
ter Of commander, that tact which en-
ables him to seize upon and turn to good
account events unlocked for as they
arise. Now for the caution wherewith
the Roman Fabius foiled the skill end
courage Of Hannibal.
A retreat Is ordered, and troops and
General in a twinkling are found safely
bivouacked In a neighboring grocery
But even here the General has room for
the exhibition OF heroic deeds. Hot

toward events Of the day your General
unseaths his trenchant blade eighteen

Perhaps the father Of spontaneous
stump OratOry In the West was Tom Cor
win, Of Ohio. Had he never risen to
the loftiest heights of oratory and thus
had listening Senates at his heels, "
Tom COrwin would have at times dis
counted any end man that ever handled
the bones. The very sight of Corwin in
action on the stump provoked inextin-
guiShable laughter when the great ora
tor chose TO touch the humorous side Of
any subject. In politics and on the
hastings he was simply irresistible.
BE was of swarthy complexion, in
size aud frame resembling John NJ.
Clayton, the Senator from Delaware,
who, even when burdened with Sena-
tOrlal cares, would rather attend an old
fashioned country dance and play the
fiddle for the twlnkling feet OF
the country lads and lasses who danced
in the Kentish fandangos, than
trim the midnight lamp in constructing
the rounded sentences Of the Bulwer-
Clayton meeting. Corwin was as in
tensely human and humane a character
as John NJ. Clayton was.
No name will be cherished In Ohio at
the farmers fresIdeS, and among all
classes, with the same affectionate ten
derneSs as that OF Thomas Corwin, Con-
gresham, Senator and Governor.
Governor Crittenden, of Kentucky,
said he never listened to a speech so
Astounding in eloquence and pathos as
C0rwin's last appeal on the floor of Con-
grass-a two days speech-in which he
tearfully appealed to his countrymen to
avoid the Scyla and Charybdis of the
war that was imminent" His speech
against the Mexican war is immortal in
the phrase in which COrwin advised the
Mexicans to welcome our soldiers with
bloody hands TO an hoSpitable grave"
