HER PITY.

This is the room TO which she came that day
Came, when the dusk was falling cold and
gray
Came with soft step, in delicate array
And sat beside me in the freight there;
And, like a rose Of perfume rich and rare.
Thrilled with her sweetness the environing air
We heard the grind of traffic in the street
The clamorous calls-the sound OF passing
feet
The wall OF bells that in the twilight beau
Then knet down. and dared to touch her
hand
Those slender fingers, and the shining band
Of happy gold wherewith her wrist was
spanned.
On. thought, by which despair is half cousoled.
That slender hand lay once within my hold
And round my own felt her fingers fold.
Her radiant beauty made my heart rejoice;
And then she spoke, and her low, pit wing voice
Was like the soft, pathetic, tender noise
or winds that come before a summer rain.
Once leaped the blood in every clamorous
vein
Once leaped my heart, then dumb stood still
again.

A case is on record IN which seventy.
eight sheep and two dogs were killed while
the woman who guarded them was un
touched. 1t has also been frequently OBJ
served that the outer members of a party
are struck while the middle ones escape.
Thirty eight horses ranged in line were
only shaken by a stroke, except the two at
each end, which were killed, and of five
children, sitting on a bench, only the first
and last were fatally affected.
This peculiarly may be due, as Arago
suggested long ago to the circumstance
that the intermediate bodies simply trans

Football in Ireland may be said to
consist of three parts-Rugbeian, AS
sociationist and Gaelic, The rule of
play in these organizations has been
defined as follows: In Rugby, you
kick the ball; in Association, you
kick the man if you cannot kick the
ball, and in Gaelic you kick the ball
if you cannot kick the man This

ton of the rival devotees into Il nut.

confined to Belfast, where they form

would be for them to prove that they

conveniently situated between Glas,

sericordla hospital. A man has been
known to pass from the football field
direct to the hospital, and from the

match being then got up to raise
funds for the benefit of next of kin,
thus running the risk of killing a few
more for the benefit of the deceased.

The parties live in st. Louis, and have been
quite unfortunate. In 1891 Fenlow, Kelly, Norle-
man, O'Keefe and Connors formed quasi club
and on three or four occasions purchased five
fractions of lottery tickets, said fractions cost
ing 81 each, and each member contributing his
proportion OF the price, was equally interested
in the winnings. Fenlow generally was charged
with purchasing the tickets, and held them
until the drawing.
The members usually paid their contributions
before the drawings, and Fenlow paid the lot

In April, 1892, they invested (Connors had
dropped OUT. All paid except Kelly, who had
agreed TO pay his dollar on the day preceding
the drawing.
The tickets had been selected by Noreman.
There was no further intercourse between the
members OF the club until after the drawing on
Tuesday, April Il, when il was learned that one
OF the four tickets had won $1,000 The tickets
have been paid for by FenlOw and the question

that he was mot in it,"
The court concludes that Fenlow gave Kelly
to understand that he (FenlOw) would see that

that there be judgement in favor of John J.
Kelly and against John W. FenlOw, decreeing

A Queer Dwelling In Arizona.

Arizona is plentifully sprinkled with
the ruins of strange habitstions. Most
Of them arc constructed of concrete or
adobe, and the mystery about them is
tho identity of the people who de.
signed them. How they could be built
is not a matter of conjecture, as the
materials are close at hand. But there
is one ruin, although still in a good
state of preservation, which, accord.
ing to the San Francisco Call, is
mystery, no matter in what light IL js
considered. II is in the Huachuca
Mountains, not far from the military
reservation, in a northeasterly dircc-
tion. Nothing is known of its origin,
and the wonderful part is the material
of which ii is constructed. 1t is about
400 miles from tho ocean and sur
rounded on all sides by hills of sand
and rocks covered with cacti. There
is no water for miles, except the ex-
cuses for rivers that run during the
rainy season. There IL not even the
suggestion of wafer, and yet the house
is built Of seashells laid in a sort OF
cement. Where the shells were OBJ
tanned is a mystery that may never be
solved. 1t does seem possible that the
builder OF the house would carry tho
material over hundreds of mile of
desert when there were plenty of rocks
near by that would answer the purpose
just as we'll, even though they we're
not so unique. The house is built in
the shape of the straw huts of the
Papsgo Indians and is about the same
size. There is room inside for five or
Six persons, but al present nobody oc-
cupies it, except, perhaps, some pros,
pector who uses il for temporary
shelter IN cold weather. There arc a
dozen varieties OF shells to be found
in the walls, and one over the door 10

From st. Louis or Colorado the ex-
press company would receive 81 for
every $1,000 handled If Congress
should attempt to put the 80, 900, 900
silver dollars now in the treasury
vaults into circulation by shipping
them through the country the express
company would receive at least $780,.
900 for handling them. A year ago,
when the Treasury Department shipped
$40, 900, 600 in gold from San Fran
cisco to New York, il would have had
to pay the express company S65, 800
for the haul at contract rates. But
San Francisco is outside the contract
territory of the United States Express
Company, and the Treasury Depart
ment sent the gold east as Registered
mali at cost of q little less than
$4,000.
The biggest shipment of currency
handled by the United States Express
Company for the Government was

ment handled at one time was 81, 600, =
600 taken from Philadelphia to New
York little more than year ago.
For handling this shipment the ex-
press company received $500. The
gold was stored in two safes which
we've sent in special car under heavy
guard. Every effort was made to keep
the time of shipment a secret. The
fear of train robbery is always in the
minds of the officials of the express
company. The shipment of these large
amounts is what makes the contract of
the express company profitable. They
bring the aggregate of money handled
by the express company upto fully
