When Carroll axed Kate for her heart and Q

That controwled just hundred good acres of

Her lovely brown eyes
Went wide wild surprise,
And her lips they shot scorn ct his saucy de-
mand;
young Carroll Maginn,
Put the beard to your chin
And the change in your purse, If wife you
would win"
Then Carroll made Kate his most illigant bow,
And of to the Dlggins lampooned from the
plow;
Till the beard finely grown
And the pockets, full-blown.
Says he: maybe Kate might be kind 70 me-
now"
So home my lad came,
Colonel Carly by name,
To try fresh fing at his cruel ould fame
But when Colonel Carly in splendor steps In.
For all his grand airs and great beard TO his
chin,

Cried Kate, with a grosn-
"For my hearts in the grave wild poor Carroll
Maginn.'
'.Hush sobbin' this minute,
It's Carroll that's in it!
I've Gagged you at last, thin, my wild little lin

strange case of naval pronunciamento has
occurred in the republic of Ecuador, or rather
on board the war transport Nueve de Julio.
When that vessel was at anchor of the port of
Coquito, in the Esmeralds district, the
ensigns and midshipmeu, together with
two sailors and an artillery sergeant, re-
belled, and succeeded in imprisoning below the
commandant and the officers. Then anchor was
raised, and the vessel went out to SEES in the d.
rection of Panama. But, when she was about
fifty miles distant from land, the crew,
the government, revolted in their turn, de-
livered the officers, and put in irons Ensign
Miguel Larrea, who had been the leader Of the
rebellion. The naval transport was then taken
again to port, and the insurgents were to be
judged by a court-msrtial at the end of last
month. Ensign Larrea did not wait for his trial
and committed suicide in his prison.

judge found it necessary to rule against his
father on some point of law, when the
old gentleman lost his temper and made some

Fashions in Orphans.

A fussy little woman went to an orphan asy.
lum to adopt an orphan. She picked out a little
girl with red hair, and after giving q receipt for
her left, says the New York Herald.
She returned next day and said to the super
intendent: my husband thinks this orphan
won't suit. Haven't you got any with black hair
and blue eyes2"
The superinte ndent hunted through the insti-
tuition and found nothing of the color wanted.
1t is q rather rare combination anyway, have
heard. Then the woman got mad
why don't you keep proper assortment OF
Orphansg" she demanded. Whats the use Of
running place in this one-horse wayH Over
in the Brooklyn home they've got orphans of
all colors. You'll ruin the business il you act
like this Don't you find your customers going
elsewheref When do you think you'll have any
orphans with black hair and blue eyesw
"The colors aren't fashionable" said the su-
perintendent, but / shall be pleased to COM
munioate with you and fill your order when
am able TO do So"
''Well, see that you do" answered the
woman, a little notified. These institutions
aren't half what they used to be. Don't keep
me waiting longer than a week"
And she left the red-haired one and went
home. Every time the bell rings she thinks it's
an expressman bringing her orphan order with
black hair and blue eyes.

heard the bells on Christmas day.
Their old, familiar carols play;
And wild and sweet,
The words repeat
OF peace on earth, good will TO men
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfrles of all christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
or peace on earth, good will to menl
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolves from night to day;
voice. a chime,
A chant sublime
OF peace on earth, good will to meni
But in despair bowed my head:
There Is no peace on EARTH" said,
For hate is strong
And mocks the song
OF peace on earth, good will TO menl"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep.
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep:
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail.
With peace on earth, good will TO men,"

NOTHING BUT ROUTINE
AT Yesterdays Session of the Board Of
Public Works.

EUciiC WOtkSs
Residents on HOLSTER street have
complained that the contractor who
has been laying q sewer in their street
had opened the street the entire length
and had been unnecessarily slow.
superintendent Davis explained that
the contractor had opened the trench
about two feet deep to keep the ground
from freezing. Otherwise it would
have been necessary to suspend work.
Engineer Bates reported as follows:
Gallons of water pumped, 4S,660, $50;
coal used, 100, 400 pounds. The Hally
pump will be started Tuesday.
superintendent Davis reported that
there was no watering trough on Al
pine avenue, and Mr.. Harrington
moved that the saloon man on that
street VINO petitioned for one should
have it. Mr.. LeteIlier moved ~ an
amendment that both saloons on Al
pine avenue near the city limits DO
gwen q watering trough. The amend
ment WAS lost and the main question
prevailed.
The petition from people on
Lake avenue to have the street
placed in proper condition, which was
referred By the council to the board
was read. Superintendent Davis sald
the heavy teaming over the street had
made some ruts which needed filling
with coarser gravel. He eaid it would
be necessary to take some of it out and
put in cOarser gravel. The contractors
had been notified q nd he thought by the
time the board should meet again he
could report tns work done.
SIR. Harrington said skating rink
had been opened on Court street. He
asked if the proprietor had applied for
q water rate. The clerk said they had
applied at the Office and that they were
given water rates the same as other
people.
