What lovely month is May, named in
Atlas and mother of Mercury, by Jupiter,
the fifth month of the year, the second
month of spring, the vestlbuIe of roxy, sweet
breathed June!
1t is the time when the grass takes on its
richest hue; when the MAY dew" which is
said to whiten linen and to add II finer purity
to its texture, and to be.sparkle with glob-
ular beauty the emerald bosom of the earth,
is found on prairie, mesa. and meadow in the
early morning before the birds have finished
their native choras; when orchards stand in
white and pink splendor, their blossoms OF
apple, peach,. pear, and plumb exhaling
pleasant 'odors, when the pansies. dandelions,
primrose. SNOWFALL. etc., adorn the bills, val.
leys and lawns. emphasize the charm of the
landscape; when the winds with their soft
and balmy breath come to fan the cheek and
smooth the wrinkles from the brow; when
the cattle in thousand herds begin to browse
on the hillsides and in the lowlanls; when
the trees hand out afresh their leafy ban.
ners, when the barefoot boy hastens to the
brook in quest OF its treasures, when the
farmer tills the soil, sows the seed, and the
planters plant, over all nature is woven a
delicious spell of irrigated life.
What a month it is |. Beauty and utility
join hands, promise and fulfllment are we'd
ded, hope and realization link fortunes in
this--ohe of the most delightful periods of
the year.

The Girl ana the Mole.

The other afternoon in Denver We were
cornn,uning with a young lady whose nc.
quaintance has been one of th. joys Of our
life ever since .he wore short dresses and the
cutest little red stockings you ever saw. Az
has been said, she is now young lady, and
of course her stocking are no longer sub
ject Of the public discussion. But she has
u splendid voice, and often appears as the
principal soprano at concerts. where tender
hearted men and women weep as she wills il
with sweetly pathetic song. Still, to her lot
have fallen the various trials md tribula.
tions that visit common humanity, and being
on intimate terms with the family, we were
made to listen Oh this occasion toA little mar
rative of grief. A tear gIistoned in her bright
eye. Scarcely able to suppress her own en-.
otion--for a woman's tears always make ou
heart achieve told her to let US know the
worst. Precious girl! It was nothing but a
n,eas!y mole about three inches down the
back Of her neck. But she said unless It
could he removed she could never appear in
the decollette attire she 80 much admired.
She was taking electricity and every other
imaginable remedy to get loose from the
mole, and still it followed her about like
Mary's little lamb. Absent mindedlv we
asked her why she didn't set Il trap for it,
and then, noticing this bad break, sugyested
that shes paint some wings to if and call IL a
butterfly. That girl lies awake nights wor.
rying over little mole that many woman
would he iickled to wear on her nose Just for
oddity. Doesn't it beat all what diversity
there is In taste?
