THE LADY OF TEARS

Through valley and hamlet and city,
Wherever humanity dwellr.
With heart too full Of infinite pity,
breast that with sympathy swells,
She walks in her beauty immortal.
Each household grows sad as she nears
But she crosses at length every portal,
The mystical Lady OF Tears.
If never this vision Of sorrow
Has Swallowed your life in the past
You will meet her, I know, some to-
morrow
She visits all heartbstones at last.
To hove', and cottage, and palace.
To servant and king she appears
And offers the gall of her chalice--
The unwelcome Lady Of Tears.
To the eyes that bave smiled but in glad
ness,
To the souls that have basked in the sun,
She seems in her garments of sadness
A creature to dread aud to shun.
And lips that have drank but Of pleasure
Grow pallid and tremble with fears,
AS she portions the gall from her measure
The merciless Lady Of Tears.
But in midnight, lone hearts that are break
ing,
With the agonized numbness Of grief,
Are saved from the torture Of breaking,
By her bitter sweet draught Of relief.
oh, then do all graces enfold her;
Like goddess she looks and appears,
And the eyes overflow that behold her,
The beautiful Lady of Tears.

Children Burned to Death.

ORANeEBuRe, S. C.-Annie Inabinet,
aged nine years, daughter of A. III.
lnabinet, of the Bull Swamp Section, met
with horrible death last Monday Her
father and mother left her in bed asleep
and alone in their residence, with fire
burning in the bed room. Upon re.
turning, they found the house in flames,
and their little one at the window, hes
itating whether to jnmp to the ground
or not. In this condition she was over
taken by the flames, and, with the house,
was soon entirely consumed.
George Hane, white child, five years
OF age, was burnt to death in the Mid
die st. Mathews section. His parents
left him at home to take charge of still
younger child. Soon after their de-
parture the little fellow went out of the
house and began playing with some em.
bers left in the yard His clothes be.
came ignited, and there being no help at
hand, he soon burned to death.

The King Acknowledged His Mistake

The good nature Of Italys King is
we'll illustrated by an anecdote from the
days of the last royal hunts at Monza.
King Humbert is accustomed to take hie
sport with the gun in pretty much the
same clothes as other persons and with
out attendants, thereby distinguishing
him from his imperial German ally, who
has Insignia of his high Office all over
his hunting costume and is accompanied
usually on the chase by noblemen and
funkeys. = h.,
Shortly before the end OF last season
the Kings hound started hare about
tSo miles from Monza, aud the King
fired. At the sane instant another shot
was heard, and an Italian peasant, with
au old-fashioned gun and a mongrel
dog, hurried up from the opposite direc-
tiou. The peasant mistook the simple
yet elegantly clad sportsman who dis
puted his possession of the hare for a
Roman dude, and caught up the royal
arm stretched toward the dead game.
There was hot discussion, which ended
in the triumph of the Kings superior
logic and his taking off the hare.
At the royal castle the King gave the
hare to tho servants that they might pre-.
pare 1T for his supper, and stood by as
they dressed it for the pan. When the
entrails were removed the bullet that
caused the animals death was found. It
was of the old style of gun, of the
pattern of fifty years ago. The King
looked at itand at once sent out mes
senger to summon 80 the castle the
peasant who had disputed the possession
of the hare. When the old man was led
into the Kings presence the latter
stretched to him both hands and said:
"My dear man / bave just discovered
my mistake. The hare belongs to you.
AS 1t is already roasting, however, can
do no more than to ask you to help me
eat it,"
The peasant sat at the Kings right
hand at dinner that evening, aud,
although high society spoiled his sp-
petite, he jingied his wineglass against
that Of his 5ovefeign ard rode home con.
siderably exhileratsd in the royal car
riage. --Chioago Tribune.

Some Speed Makers.

Some curious facts are brought int
prominence by correspondent Of
Cycling, who has been at the pains to
draw up comparative table of the rates
of speed IN different modes of loco
motion. The express train, Of course,
stands pre.eminent. Man has as yet
discovered no way Of getting about
faster on the earth's surface. 1t will be
. surpise, however, to many to learn
that the safety bicycle, Of which so much
Is heard nowadays, only occupies in this
list the seventh place.
The fastest time in which train has
been known to travel milo was forty
nine seconds and a fraction; to accom-
plish the same distance the fastest BIZ
cyclist, who has hitherto ridden, took
two and three quarter minutes, or just
about three times as long. An ice yacht
has travelled mile in one minute and ten
seconds, a running horse in one minute
and thirty five and half seconds, tor
pedo boat in Que minute and fifty
seconds, steam yacht in two minutes
and twelve seconds and fraction, aud
a skater on ice, with a favorable wind
behind him, in two minutes aud twelve
seconds and rather large fraction. A
little way after the safety bicycle comes
the ocean liner; the oarsman is much
slower, taking five minutes aud forty
seconds to travel mile, and the slow
est of all is the swimmer, who requires
very little short OF an hour to perform
the same journey.

A Story of EUuine Friendship.

A story of remarkable instance Of
equine friendship comes from Portland.
One of pair of horses belonging to the
horse railroad company was sold,' where
upon his mate, blind horse, refused to
be comforted and so pined away that the
General Manager went to the new owner
of the other steed aud asked for the loan
of the animal for visit to the stable.
AS soon as this horse was put in his old
stall, the blind horse showed signs Of
great delight and at once began to re-
cover his appetite and his health. The
owner of the other horse, seeing the love
of the blind one for his friend, bought
him, too, and now drives down town

Big 'st sasaS ask Brooklyn Brlax.

No doubs many people have wondered
what becomes OF the millions of tickets
sold and collected annually by the New
York anf Brooklyn Bridge Company.
One who has given some thought to the
subject tells what might be done with
them. and incidentally gives other figures
showing the magnitude of the traffic on
the Bridge, Here they are Just as he
gave them:
Over forty-one million of people
crossed the bridge in 1891 on the bridge
cars and promenade. Could all the hands
which have purchased tickets be Joined
together at the end of the year, a circle
could be formed. ALP miles in di.
ameter, or AZ, 1886 miles in circumference;
distance equal to one and one-half
times around the earth. II the grand
chain wereS suggested, and the fastest
trains and ships employed, 1t would be
nearly three months before one could
make the bow and return to his place be.
side his partner.
"a solid dpare Of %, ,634 columns of
2O0O men each, covering over three
square miles, or 1000 acres, could be
formed of the ticket purchasers.
cit would take 6S7, 500 passenger
coaches, allowing sixty persons to the
coach, or 45, S53 trains of fifteen coaches
each to carry this crowd away. If q
hundred minute could be counted
without stopping during tho twenty
four hours, it would require over eight
months to count them. If hollow squares
of 800 feet square can be conceived to
be placed one upon the other, the enor-
nous height of nine miles would would
be reached. BY forming a triangular
pyramid with base of 2O,460 square
inches, pyramid could be had rauch
higher than that OF ''Cheops" in Egypt.
If stretched out in line, SO that the
head of one pcrson would touch the feet
OF another, they would reach distance
Of 80, 179 miles.
"The carriages, wagons, etc., that
cross in one year would, if strung out,
yeach 25,732 miles, or more than once
around the earth.
cit would take train of 42,45S box
cars, with 1923 engines, to haul the
people away, and would, if coupled to-
gether, cover 322 miles, or reach from
New York to Richmond.
"The tickets, if joined together con-
tinuously, would reach from New York
to st. Paul, distance of over thirteen
hundred miles, and would weigh very
nearly ton. There would be enough
tickets to cover the bridge promenade
to the depth of an eighth of an inch. If
spread out they would cover 573,171
square feet, or thirteen acres of ground.
There would be enough tickets to cover
the walls, ceiling and flocr of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel corridor fifty-seven' times.
More than thousand ordinary-sized
rooms could be papered, and il piled up
under pressure, one on top of the other,
they would reach "a 800 feet, or over
six miles high.
''It would require sixty cars, five feet
high, ten feet broad and forty feet long,
to store all the tickets used in one year. :"
