a small stand in front of store, but the

Aren't there some times in your life

when you want to blame all the trouble

looking the matter squarely in the face

Lily Berties, the juvenile soubrette, had
been spending her holidays on the lake of
Geneva. When about to return to Paris,
she was accosted at the railway station by
a young gentleman whom she had never
seen before. He handed her large basket
of gold straw, filled with the choicest
flowers, and said: II am also going to Paris,
and these flowers shall serve to introduce us
to each other"
When, on their arrival in Paris, Mile
Lily stepped into a cab, the stranger said to
her; IF you will wait a moment, will
have the basket filled with sweets in place
of the flowers, as the latter are faded"
On receiving the basket five minutes after
ward the sOubrette was astonished at It's
lightness and told her companion so.

visit to the STAR office this morn

leading to the conclusion that the
report published as to his resigna-

Friday afternoon, the presentation

The Proposed Bond Issue.

LONDON, Nov. 14--The Daily Meas

issue in Washington: The issue OF
Treasury bonds in America will not al
feet this market, but any steps towards
improving the United States currency,
would have a marked effect on the situ-
alton. Confidence in American credit
would strengthen and the power of the
country to attract gold would speedily
reassert itself"
The Daily Telegraph will say: "The
operation apparently will have little
or no effect here. Reform of the cur
rency is greatly needed, but it is I'M
likely that any proposal by Mr.. Cleve-
land will find much real support after

MUSIC WITH MEALS.


One Respect In which Oklahoma Hotel
Keepers Are Up to Date.
The hotels of oklahoma up TO last fall
were few and far between. Having tried
several with little satisfaction, party
Of hungry "tenderfeet" was directed by
commercial traveller to little place
on corner. The commercial man ssid
it did not look inviting, but it was clean.
That was an inducement the party had
not heard of in that section, and 1t
turned in for supper. The dining room
was one in which the family lived. A
folding bed stood in one corner. An old
time bureau was opposite. A box stove
was in the way, and about it were
several old fashioned rockers. A few
family pictures hung from the wall,
with the old, old motto, invoking the
blessing of the powers celestial on the
household. The party asked for supper
and was told to he seated until the meal
was prepared. Two girls, delicate and
with much WEAKNESS in their faces,
spread the table, When tho meal was
brought on, they simply said, Supper is
ready" and disappeared.
The party gathered about the meal,
and it was agreeably disappointing.
While it was being devoured-that is the
best word to use, even at this distance
from the table-the two girls came into

woman whose hair was white and
whose face was study. There must

In the Ozark mountains there is a small
species of the snake tribe known as the
house snake" 1t is harmless reptile, but
entirely too familiar going into the houses
whenever It can and finding its way into
drawers, cupboards and other places in an
unaccountable way. By many people il is
supposed to bring bad luck to kill one of
these serpents, and they are chased out of
the house as dog or chicken would be.
As the houses are usually log cabins with
erevices between the logs, it is an easy
matter for them to enter whenever they
feel SO disposed.

Improving on Nature.

One of the cases in which the work of
man is superior to that of nature is in
the material now being employed by the
builders of the walls of the elaborate
batteries at Portland headlight. This
is combination Of stone, broken fine by
the steam crusher, and cement. The
compound is blocked out in molds, and
the slabs thus formed, feet in length
by in width, are laid in the walls like
bricks. This is expected to Withstand
any shot, and by actual tests is immeas-
urably superior for this purpose to the
natural stone.
Every stone (nature's) fort throughout
the country has been condemned. It is
proposed to erect besides q battery Of
heavy guns at White Head, Cushing is
land, a mortar battery of 16 pieces at the
southerly point of the island. It will
have the new breech loading mortars,
which have great accuracy as well as re-
markable range. It is evident that the
government regards this harbor as one Of
the most important-a great strategic
point-and as such to be strongly forti-
fied.-Bangor Commercial.

The Curious Man.

The curious man is q queer individual.
He it is who looks into guns that are not
loaded and not only finds a load, but
has it inserted in his head. He also
looks down elevator shafts, and the ele-
vator approaches him from above while
he is looking. He wants to know the
why and wherefore of everything.
Such q man became involved in a
brisk poker game once in western min
ing town. Curious men are not good
poker players, as they always want to
see another mans hand. This particular
curious man was an exception to the
rule. He spent much money in the pur-
suit of knowledge in the game in ques-
ton, and then he grew curious as to the
origin of the phenomenal hands held by
swartby party the fingers and thumb
of whose right hand had been removed,
leaving him only stump. But he had
very clever left, and with this he shut
fed and incidentally left aces and kings
all over his person. At last the curious
man caught him at it and boldly accused
him of cheating. With a vicious oath
the fellow kicked back his chair and
reached toward his hip pocket with his
right hand stump.
"Hold on, there" cried the curious
man, always anxious for more knowl-
edge. GLOW are you going to pull the
trigger Chicago Post.

surveyed this new and unexpected
find" with great satisfaction. Instant
ly decided to extend my original plan
and take back with me a great-great-
grandmother as we'll as a great-great-
grandfather. A sense of justice and
the 'eternal fitness of things" told me
that to carry away Sir Archibald and
leave Lady Eleanor behind would be
simply outrageous. As they had not
been separated in life, they should not
be in death: I knew my father we'll

lighted with Lady Eleanor; that he
would receive her with the greatest en-

CHANGED upon an earl, one Reginald
tombstone. He was hidden away in d
thicket of briars. Why not go in for
an earl while 1 am about it?' asked
myself. This earl for a moment sorely
tempted me, but it soon occurred to me
that he was rather too ancient for my
use, the date on his tombstone being
1880. After due reflection arrived at
the conclusion that a good, well matched
pair, though of lower rank, would be
preferable in the game I was about to
play to q lone earl.
Besides all this, there was fitness of
the names of the pair Ihad at first found
that seemed almost providential. Ny
fathers name when given in full is James
Archibald Johnson, and have sister
Eleanor. Thoughts of these curious CO.
medicines made me resolve to cling to
my first find. Indeed I began to feel a
sort of affection for the old couple. My
sister would be in raptures when took
