The Pathetic Tale of Locket, an Inscrtp-

The Pathetic Tale of a Locket, Inscftp.
ton and Somebody's Sweetheart.
She was such pretty girl with .
fluff of hair and stylish hang to her
gown-though, TO be sure, one did not
notice that until afterward. Her eyes
held one at frss they were SO bright,
30 brimful of happiness, of real infec-
tious joyousness. It spoke, too, in the
curve of her pretty mouth, and in her
quick, ''springy' motion as she walked.
All the clerks in the jewelry store
looked up and smiled as she entered,
says the jewelers. Review She was
like the sun. When she was gone they
smiled still more-there was something
at which 10 be amused. She had left
locket to be engraved-EsS Sunbeam"
on one side and a name, a mans name,
on the other. He, the man, must have
been sweetheart, for her mouth had
shown fuller curve and pushed tiny
dimple to her cheek as she spoke to
the clerk, and she blushed rosy red
when he asked her to repeat the low
toned order.
There was a small sigh of relief on
the girls part as the door swung to BE-
hind her. lit were not such a very
precious thing she would send her
brother after the locket. Somehow
she felt shy about it, and the name
his pet name for her-had been diff
cult of utterance before all those men.
They told her it would De done to-
morrow. ''She would call? Very
well"
She did not call; the clerk half IN
consciously watched for her, and won
dered. 1t had been nearly a week now.
One day a young man came in-a
young man who had her look without
the sunshine in it. He showed the
check for the Iocket and took it away.
She had called her brother and whis-
pered to him about the locket before
she died, and he gave it, as she had so
wished to do with her own hands, to
the man whose name was on the out
side.
"Sunbeam!" Truly, it seemed to him
there was no more left of life. There
had been but one whose brightness had
ahown for him.
They heard of it in the store, and for
q long 5ime no one smiled when girl
left a locket to be engraved for her
sweetheart. 1t 50 happened that no
one ordered Sunbeam" on one side.

why They Knelt.

Charles II. of England was noted for
his good nature, and although he was
sometimes called "Unthinking Char
les" yet his heedlessness was more an
apparent than a real characteristic.
The extravaganza of his reign went
hand in hand with poverty, and on
some occasions even the royal table
was but poorly served.
There is story told of Grammont,
who one day dined in state with the
king.
Charles babe the count to notice that
he was served upon the knee, a mark
of respect to guests of the king not
common at other courts.
81 thank your majesty for the ex-
planation," answered Grammont. II
thought they were begging pardon for
giving you so bad dinner. "-Youth's

M ANS FINAL COLLAPSE.
Seven Different Ways to How the End
May Come.


The probable fate of the last man is
subject that has often been discussed.
Of about dozen solutions of the ques-
ton, seven of the best are summarized
below:
l. The surface of the earth is steadi-
~ diminishing; all the landed portion
will at last be submerged and the last
man will be drowned.
2. The ice is gradually accommodating
at the North pole and slowly melting
at the South: eventually the earth's
center of gravity will change, and the
last man will be killed by the rush of
movables when the catastrophe finally
comes.
3. There is a retarding medium in
space, causing a gradual loss of veloci-
ty in all the planets. The earth, obey
ing this law of gravitation, will be
drawn nearer and nearer the sun, I'M
till at last humanity will be roasted
from the face of the globe.
4. The amount of water on the
earth's surface is slowly drying up.
Finally the earth will be an arid waste
like the moon, and the last man will
die, pleading for drop of moisture
with which to wet his tongue.
5. A gigantic planet is likely to tum-
BILE into the sun at any time. In that
event our great luminary would
blaze up and burn the earth and other
planets in it's train to cinders.
6. With the beginning of the year
5000 A. D., the human family will be-
gin to retrograde, and within 1000, 900
years from that date man will not be
higher in the scale of nature than the
plant louise of to-day. In this case
there will be no "last man"
7. The suns fires will gradually burn
out and the temperature will cool in
consequence. The earth's glacial zones
will enlarge, driving shivering human
ity toward the equator. At last the
habitable space will lessen to nothing
and overcrowded humanity will be
frozen in heap.

Decoration Day Games Played In the
National League.
Turned the Hose on Them.

JACKSON, Mich, May 3O.-A war is on
here between the city of jackson and
the Michigan Central railroad COM
pany over a strip of land near the Cen
trai depot. Both parties have claimed
it for years. The railroad company is
trying to put in a spur on the land in
dispute and thus gain possession. Two
carloads of wOrl1men from Detroit sent
to put down the track did so despite
the police. The fire department was
called out, the hose turned on the
workmen and the city's horses pulled
up the tracks. 1t is said that another
attempt will be made to lay the track.
Great excitement prevails.

Several other were slightly injured.
Ridgeley's injuries were received after

and he frauticaly broke a window

On this point Mr.. Johnson said moth.
ing, however, but proceeded to tell how
the dog would catch the fish The
canine knew all the boys and holes
where the trout secreted themselves,
and was often noticed to creep along
the bank of the stream to such places
and shove a stone in the water, fright
ening the fish from its repose. AS the
fish would dart out into the stream
the bull dog would spring at it and
very often come to the surface with
the fish in its mouth. Mr.. Johnson
said the dog had paths beaten all
around the banks of the stream where
he had travelled from bog to bog in pur.
suing his amusement.

TONY WILL NOT RETURN,
He Went to Italy in Search of a Wife and
Met BIS Death.

Italians employed in the little sta
ton of Washingtonville, just beyond
the city limits on the New York Gem
trails Harlem branch, have received an
interesting story from the fatherland.
One of their number, a lad of 20, known
only by his Christian name, Antonio,
abbreviated to Tony, having saved
few hundred dollars, went back to
Italy early in January, telling his
friends that he meant to find wife
and return with her to AmSrica.
Tony and his bride will not return.
The news comes that four days
after Tony arrived in Italy he laid
siege to the heart of black-eyed peas
ant girl whom he had never seen be-
fore.
Would she marry him and come to
America, where dollars are as plentiful
as scudi in the fatherland, and every
man is as good as his neighbor? She
would but for the fact that she had
lover to whom she was afianced. Tony
said that was nothing and hunted up
the lover.
"You can't have her." said the lat
ter. Il have loved her whole year,
and she is to be my wife"
81 must have her." said Tony.
''We'l fight for her. That's the way
we do in America. have pistol"
''But I have none," said the lover.
Good said Tony, "Pn get one for
you
Tony obtained second pistol and
the two fought. But Tony was less
skillful than plucky. He emptied
every chamber of his pistol in vain,
and was shot dead by his antagonist.
What will become of Tony's savings is
not known, but the black-eyed peasant
maid will marry the man who proved
the better shot.
