Once in Persia raigned king,

In thu revels of his court.
At the zenith of the sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his lests,
He, amid his figs and wine,
Cried: ''Oh loving friends Of mine,
Pleasure comes. but not TO stay,
Even this shall pass away"
Fairest lady ever seen
Was the bride he crowned his queen.

Whispering to his soul, he said;
Through bridegroom never pressed

Fighting on furious field,

Soldiers, with loud lament,
Bore him bleeding to his tent.

Standing in the public square,

for the American Bible society for ten
years, and at the date of the society's
last report had given away few over
1000, 900 Bibles.
This is remarkable work, but much
more surprising is the fact that these
Bibles are we'll printed on good paper,
with large, clear type, and handsomely
bound, that they are in twenty languages
and dialects, and yet the average net
cost Of their production is hut forty.five
cents each. Adding all the expenses Of
storage and distribution, and still the
cost is below sixty cents. OF the million
Bibles given away by Mr.. jackson the
society records show the largest number
to have been IN German. Within the
year lately closed the record showed 49,
239 in that tongue. Tie Swedish stood
next with 1922, and then came the
Danish with s,S46, English s,2l2, and 30
on down to 145 in Welsh, l25 in Dutch,
6 in Polish, 8 in Portuguese and in
Hungarian.
1t is evident that these numbers do
not correspond with the number of i'm
migrants from each nation, for the
Dutch, Welsh and most Of the Eng
lish had Bibles Of their own or de-
clined to receive any as gifts, while
many Italians and east European
folks could not read. OF those able to
read the highest average Is among the
Germans and the lowest among the
Italians. Next TO the Germans are the
Scandinavians and next to them the
people of Great Britain OF all races.
Many of those who received Bibles years
ago have since written to Mr.. Jackson
testifying to personal benefit gained
from reading the book,

The Condition of France.

A moderate republic may be decried
by clamorous anarchists, but neverthe-
less it has brought wonderful prosper
ity to France within the last twenty
years. Wealth has never developed 80
rapidly as under the present regime,
while people throughout the whole
country are in easier circumstances and
better able to meet heavy taxes. The
cash reserve in the Bank Of France has
doubled, the savings banks funds have
increased fourfold, postal business has
grown 140 per cent, double the number
of people travel by rail, to say nothing
of the rise in freight traffic, and both
the output and consumption of coal
show similar proportions. The other
side of the picture is the advance in the
death rate and the decrease of marriages
and births. The latter have fallen
alarmingly in the last decade, while, to
further diminish the rising generation,
the death rate of infants under one year
of age is excessive.

What means this woe on Chappie's face2
Is he in dread of some digrace2
All no; his trunk has just come home
From scenes where Chappie once did roam
And in its side u fearful gap
Shows that it's met with some mishap.
And through that rent two pairs Of boots.
Six russell shoes, three bathing suits,
A linen vest, six collars high,
A lounging coat, an Oxford tie,
All have escaped, and dire dismay
On Chappie's face now holdeth sway.
But see, he smiles! What can 1t be
That's brought this sudden look Of glee?
The trunk he's opened and looked in,
And on his lips there spreads grin.
'.TheiU's nothing left" he says. But stay
One things escaped the foe today.
1t might be worse-indeed IL might.
But this Is balm!" Wherein that wight
Reached down into that empty chest,
Where had been things he loved the best,
And then saw what his regret
Had soothed he'd saved one cigarette.

GROVER AND HIS GUN
THE PRESIDENT ELECT HAS BEEN
STIRRING UP THE DUCKS.

A Graphic Description of the Place
Where Mr.. Cleveland Took His Recent
vacation-'Tis Called Hog Island De-
spite Efforts to Change the Name.
copyright, 1892, by American Press Associa-
toni
Hog island, where President Elect
Cleveland has been taking his vacation
and shooting ducks, is one of fifty such
islands, big and little, that line the coast
Of Virginia's two peninsular counties
from Assateague light to Cape Charles.
The island lies about 800 miles south
west of New York and 100 miles south
east of Washington. Upon one side the
island fronts the Atlantic; upon the
other is narrow and shallow inlet sep
arating the island from the mainland
and from a smaller island. The United
States government has vainly essayed to
give Hog island the more euphonious
name of Broadwater, but the name Hog
island sticks and the island figures thus
upon the official election returns of Vir-
ginia. Hog island cast thirty-one votes for
Mr.. Cleveland and none for any other
candidate. That is the usual Democratic
majority of the island, and the vote is
so easily counted that although the or
binary method of reaching the main
land is by open sailboat the Hog island
returns are usually among the first to
come in.
The area of the island is between 5000
and 10000 acres. Its twenty-one fam
lilies are employees of the government
and the sporting clubhouse and oyster
iAen. Every man and every half grown
boy can sail boat, and the people are

Household Economy.

The clocks tolled the hour of midnight
as he awoke. The perfume of many
flowers, borne upon the soft, warm air,
pervaded the room, but his nostrils per-
ceived it not. The royal moon bathed
the world in subdued glory, but his
eyes were blind toit. Crickets chirped a
comfortable and drowsy song, but his
ears we're sealed against their melody.
His hair, which was iron gray, was
standing on end.
His whole being was intent upon the
words that fell from the lips Of his sleep
ing wife.
"Oleomargarine, murmured the slum-
bering woman, "seven cents pound-but-
ter twenty-eight-save"-
The man raised himself upon his ell
bow and held his breath.
-''twenty-one cents-every pound
ten pounds week--save"-
His face was growing livid.
1.-TWO dollars and ten cents-ten
weeks-save"-
The veins swelled like cords upon his
forehead.
-"twenty-one dollars - hat cost
twenty dollars--one dollar left"
With moan he sank into a recum-
bent position.
Thenceforth he wandered through
the world as one whose idol had been
shattered. Detroit Tribune.

fact that man of that age is honored
as one Of the city's pioneers is star
ting evidence of Chicagos wonderful
growth.
Mr.. Armstrong was born Nov. 90,
1912, in what was then north suburb
of Chicago. In boyhood he commenced
planning how to make his fathers real
estate there more valuable, and his first
conclusion was that in his lifetime the
city would grow far beyond that locality
and therefore land should a. once be re-
served for park. In the spring Of 1868
he was elected member of the city
council as representative from the Thir-
teerth ward and as no one objected on
account of his age he entered on his
duties at once and made the park sys-
tenn speciality. As there was already
cemetery there to which many re-
mains had been moved from the center
of the city, the papers attacked the prof.
ect with much heat, but the measure
was carried and work was begun the
next year.
Once Lincoln park was fact, and
people found what nice place it was,
South Side and West Side citizens be-
stirred themselves TO create parks Of
their own, and SO Mr.. Armstrong may
be considered the father of the city park
system. All the aldermen who served
with him in 1868 and are still living
were on the reception committee, and
fine oil painting of Mr.. Armstrong was
presented to him. He is known to the
present generation as one of the firm Of
Armstrong g. Egan, architects.
