p~ortunity offered.
Gov. Flower made one OF his charac-
teristic sturdy Democratic speeches at
the jackson dinner, while at the Reid
banquet there was no set speaking, but
a great deal of small talk and consider
able pulse-feeling. The entertainment
can scarcely be called n success, not
w~ithstanding its elegance and liberality.
Indeed. the guests carried away with
them a tho 'oughly good dinner. but a
chilling. uncomfortable feeling thai they

President Harrison declares was so fatal
at the tail Of the Presidential ticket In
1892.

AT q dinner the other day the delicious,
fsonan punch served had a delicate
SAVIOR of roses. 1t was given. the hostess
said' by adding the Turkish preserved
rose leaves and a little lemon Juice to a
oo"i or everyday Roman punch. Tho
leaves come In cans. and, as the flavor
is very strong. should be stirred in with
a spoon a few at a time until the right
mayor Is given. Half a can should flavor
enough punch for eight persons. Add
the lemon juice a little at a time after
using the leaves. The punch should be
Of extreme sweetness.

atone for II; her way was to make me knee
down, hold out my hand, and with a rattan Of
good size. about a yard long, strike my hand
according to my sins. It was no at OF anger. but
always the penalty OF a discinlinar!an hand. In
that way I grew useful and / am grateful now.
When I was to be married. as nearly eveny one
else does, I made to my hancee a lot OF good
promises.
Shortly after. on account Of New Year calls, !

my wife ready to leave our home; nothing
could induce her to change her mind.

she wouldn't listen to any Of my new prom

when at last she said. Your mother used to
chastise you for your wrong; let me see II yol
will submit to my will" She did 1t, and I took
my medicine like a man. Seven years have

Both departed In apparent good spirits
and no n knew that Il lawsuit had

ROYALTY'5 HARD LUCK.

These are tough times for Kings and

whereabouts recently, but we feel pretty
sure that he is like some OF the skates

how, he is skulking, and II that isn't

The MyHticnI Number Nine.

Nine Is a trinity Of trlnities and indi-
Gates perfection or completion. There are
nine earths, min heavens. nine gods,
nine muses., nine worthless, nine crosses,
nine points of the law, nine rivers of
hell. nine orders of angels and nine
circles of rank IN Clines society. Milton
in Paradise Lost says: 1.-The gates Of
hell are thrice three fold-three folds are
brass, three folds iron and three folds
adamantine rock, They had nine folds,
nine plates and nine Innings" When the
angels were cast put of heaven. mine
days they fell" 1t takes mine ta!lors
to make a man." A cat has nine lives.
There are nine crowns I'm %heraldry. Pos
session Is nine points of the law. The
whip for furnishing evil doors had nine
tails, the superstition being that a fog
ging by a trinity OF trinitIes would be
sacred and more efica cious. In order to
see the fairies, mortals are directed to
put nine grains of wheat on a four-leaf
clover. The hydra had nine heads. Leases
were formerly granted for 900 years; even
now they run for ninety-nine years, the
dual of a trinity OF trinities. To see
nine magpies is most unlucky. as the old
Scotch rhyme goes:

Five's q christening. six a dsar,h.
