Why the Negotiation Failed.

From the ArgOnaut.
A well known New Yorker, who
has been in San Francisco for the
last couple of weeks, tells the fol-
lowing story about the Bradley
Martins. 1t seems that George de

and athletic young man as we'll as
a great favOrite in New York in
the clubs and in society, was in
same Paris hotel with the Bradley
Martins, whom he did not know.
Mr.. Grant, who is of a convivial
temperament, was lying in bed one
morning about IL o'clock with a

has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittle frictlops .of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.

car windows 80 that they.csn be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers

Hang such collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that would Mt
slip out, or break offJor gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar C es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents. they might find themselves asln-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
patented the fifteen puzzle.

How TO Seal a Letter.

The ability to seal letter correctly
is said to be one of the lost arts. In the
good old days OF goose-quills. loose sand
for blotting, and fine sealing-wax for
adhesive purposes, delicacy and dexterity
in putting the wax in the right place
without burning ones fingers was ne
cessary part OF liberal education.
Nowadays the art has almost passed OUT
of remembrance. Here is the correct
method OF sealing a letter: When the
letter is ready, lay the seal on the table,
at your right hard, and in such posi-
ton that when used the impression may
be square and right side up. Then hold
the wax above the flame Of the gas or
candle. but not near enough to Durn.

Next Year.


One sunny day In flow'ry May,
we wandered doWn the grassy way,
All in the rosy, fragrant snow
or lovely apple trees In blow.
And robins music soft and low.
As we slowly walked together,
In the fair and balmy weather,
Next year" he said, when comes the
spring.
And an the trees their blossoms bring,
While sweet and clear the robins sing
Again well wander side by side.
And watch the flow Of Mays sweet tide;
watch the brookiets silver spraying,
Watch the willows graceful swaying
In the breeze's gentle playing!"
"Next wear" alas. we walked apart!
7 with sore, grief-laden heart
That needed not the odrous snow
OF all the happy trees in blow.
Nor robins singing clear and low.
While with sweet and sanity vision,
He saw the fairy fields elysian,
And wandered through the pastures
green.
Nv the still waters silver sheen,
Mid glorles that no eye hath seen.
