Love is the pic lures in a book

A universal favorite is likely to die

Success is oftener commended than

Individual independence is close kin

A woman loves to boss man, but

YOUTH AND LOVE.

Sing Of smiles and not of tears;
Sing Of roses, not of rue;
Leave these for far-future years:
Time is young for me and you.
Spring blood thrills in every vein;
What can We have with decay
Sunshine gilds each drop of rain
That would fall upon loves way.
Life is al It's zenith now;
We have reached joys top.nost peak;
Wrinkles are for ages brow,
Kisses for youths rosy cheek
Sing OF smiles, and not of tears;
Sing of roses, not Of rue
Sing of faith, and not of fears;
Deathless love for me and you,

WOES OF THE MlLKMkN.
Try His Best He Never succeeds In Get
ting Back All His Bottles.

Perhaps there are people who believe
the milkman is one who is peculiarly
blessed, and, being able to live between
town and country sort of idealic milk
and-water existence, is to be envied by
his less fortunate fellow mortals. But
there are motheaten spots i'm the milk
mans life.
The greatest trial of my life" says
one to-a reporter, lis bottles. Yes, sir,
bottles. If il wasn't for bottles I'd want
nothing better. Other people never
think of bottles. It's bottles bottles,
bottles who's got the bottles? with me
all the time.
"The most perfect saystem Of book
keeping ever invented will not account
for bottles. When | send out 100 bot
ties of milk in the morning I'm dead
certain 20 lose track of half dozen;
never look upon them bottles all again.
Never again, sir! The milks are cents
aud the bottles are 8 cents. But the
people who would scOrn 10 steal milk
will keep the bottles. They think bot
ties don't cost nothin', or they don't
think nothin' at all.
Some time ago a lady was behind
about seven bottles, and hadn't return
Ell any for a week. | know some peo-
pie get two or three days behind with
their empties, but couldn't account for
all of these While | was thinking
about it and looked over across toward
her flat saw her maid chuck an empty
out of the kitchen winder into the lot.
And, don't you know. | went over there
and found whole pile Of broken bot
ties and two or three whole ones They
didn't know any better. Now, there
was lady in the other day. and says:
'Ma'am, says l. I've got you charged
with five bottles here.
What that?' says She i haven't
got any of your old bottles. You don't
suppose I'd steal milk bottles, do youP
When | get to stealth I'll take some
thing better'n old cast-off milk bottles.
l don't like your milk, anyhow, It's
more'n half water. And I'm going to
change
And she did change, and | lost
good customer by the mere mention of
bottles. Some people keep their tea
and things in the bottles. You can't 60
and search for them. You must take
their word for it that they amt got
none. They are supposed to return
their empties the next day, and they'll
keep them for week. Id have to
have carload of extra bottles to suit
them. Some of them just slap on the
empties when the dumb waiter comes
their way, and some other milkman
goes off with them. They don't care.
And then, when you call up for their
empties they get mad as hops and
swear they sent them down-which,
perhaps they did. but not to us.
and there's the servants that break
bottles and swear they returned them
week ago, and their mistresses be-
ieve them. It's enough to drive a man
20 drink. ~ Y Herald.

one man out of five who could sleep in

Fifty cents was the price and two in

some sybarite wished 10 sleep by him

for the luxury, he paid 81, Then he
temporarily owned the berth.
One night going out of Chicago, a
long. lean, ugly man, with wart on
his cheek, came into the depot He
paid George NJ. Pullman 30 cents and
half berth was assigned him. Then he
took off his coat and vest and hung them

And Many People Are Busy Identifying
Everything but Overcoats.
The work OF identifying the property re-
covered from Jack the Slasher is still going
on. A large number OF persons whose houses
had been robbed by him called yesterday ai
police headquarters and picked out their
goods. A strange feature of the case is that,
although a number of overcoats were stolen,
not one was recovered. Enough clothing was
found to stock store, but no overcoats were
among the stuff.
TAYLOR was no spendthrift, and deposited
his money in banks and building associations.
He has $50 on deposit with the Perpetual
Building Association, and SIP in bank In
Richmond.
Although the total amount stolen by him Is
quite large. it is divided among n number OF
persons. making the loss small to each. But
in the course of his depredatlons he ma
liciously cut and slashed so much more than
he stole. that the total damage done will run
up in the thousands.
The police have already fastened twenty
crimes on him. Taylor is not a bad looking
man and is evidentlya shrewd criminal. He
was measured and photographed yester-
day for the rogues gallery at police head
quarters. He will have preliminary exami-
nation in the Police Court to-day.
