suFFERED FROM HIS rHRsAT.
When He Wanted Candy and Peanuts
 They Were Not to Be Had.

When He Wanted Candy and Peanuts.
 They Were Not to Be Had.
 Just as MT. Suffer was starting for the railroad station with his wife and children to take very long journey, Mrs. Suffer exclaimed:
 See here, John We can never go away without some fresh broken can dies. No one ever went on q railroad journey who didn't have lot along. "
 And l, put in Miss Della Stuffor, aged z, insist on some peanuts and cough drops.p
 That's all right. /" said Suffer "We can buy all those things on the train. There are about ten men who spend their time marching through tho cars selling fresh broken candies and cough drops. Whatever else happens to the traveller, he's never allowed to run short of those commodities. "
 But when they boarded the train the army of peanut vendors, cough drop dealers and fresh broken candy mer- chants was nowhere to be seen. Ordi- narily the traveller was pelted with these goods until he had to buy and eat some i'll self defense. On this occasion, however, not single peddler was in sight
 Outrageous, ," said Suffer to the conductor. Do you mean to say that tho company has ceased to provide it's patrons with fresh broken candies and recently roasted peanuts? What has be- come of the fellows who chucked apples and oranges on your lap and funny magazines and things? Is this concern run by railroad men or what?'
 MT. Stuffer, replied the conductor, "the last time you travelled on this road you kicked because the trainboy biffed you i'll the eye with an apple which he wished to dispose of and made your nose bleed with packet of cough drops which he shied at you with little too much force You said you'd sue the company for damages for assault and battery The company got scared at your threats and had the boys taken off. !"
 The traveller burst out into torrent 5of invective "Blame the bloated cor porations!'' he yelled That's the sort of ballad and waltz that we shall get from them until the day comes when the government will be in complete con- trol of all the transportation interests. "
 Then he went back to Mrs, Suffer III the rear of the car and began some heated remarks about millennium or something which it was understood he had sighted on the starboard offing. - New York Herald.

Why General Butler Was Relieved.

Colonel Woodwork told some good stories about General Butler. He said that Butler himself told him as late as 1884 that he never knew the real reason why he was deprived of his military command by General Grant. It was only few years ago that Woodwork got the facts from Grants brother-in law, Major Dent, who was the staff officer sent with the order for Butler $ relief He said that while no reason was openly given at the time, Butler was actually displaced because he was not graduate of West Point This would not appear on the face of it to be sufficient cause, but Grant explained it to Dent one day ill the course of, Q confidential interview.
 If :" said he 1T were to send But Ter a specific order to do something with his army, he might obey and he might not He was too able and original not to reason himself into the belief that 1 might have given different instructions if knew all that he knew of the local situation. He therefore almost always had a plan of his own that he thought was better than mine or anybody else s, so that l could never tell just what he would do or where he would be at a given time. Of course that was fatal to any systematic campaign, and had to replace himswitha West Pointer, whose first lesson. in wal is the necessity of prompt obedience to tho commanding general. Butler was too brilliant to be reliable "--Boston Advertiser

Haphazard Preaching.

A clergyman in Cushing, Me, is re- ported to havo unique way of securing texts. He passed ground slips of paper, upon which the people wroto various texts that they would like to hear preach ed from. He then passed around hat and gathered up the slips and asked a young lady present to choose one with out looking She drew forth the text, "What think yep upon which he preached. according to report, a very excellent sermon.

Oh, is 1t forever,
 Love, that we must sever, o love, will you never


 And the story that the song told of was of two lovers who had met under the roses and had known the love of a day, the love of life. /" What swirl of faneies the singing of the child sent eddying through the aged brainl The music did not cease. The girl recalled sweet old song, a peaceful, sorrowful aditty our grandmothers sang: Could ye come back to me, Douglas Douglas,
 In the old likeness knew,
 I'd be so faithful, so loving, Douglas Douglas,
 Douglas, tender and true.
 The girl sang on until she thought she had tired her grandmother, and then whirling around on the stool she said gayly:
 Well, grandma, how do you like it? Haven't improved in ten years?"
 She rose as she said this, and without even waiting for reply, us is the way of careless, thoughtless youth, she left the room humming:
 Now all men beside are to mo like shadows,
 Douglas, Douglas, tender and true.
 The girl went to her mother, who, she knew, was attending to some duties 
 like shadows ran through tho aged wonan's head when the girl left the room, and she was thankful for the child's thoughtlessness which had left her alone for moment. The spell of the pleading song was upon her. Her life was turned backward
 Young faces smiled at her. She seem- ed as bold as youth, this shy old wom- an, who two hours before had been afraid to protest against the overcharge of cabman. She heard her daughters steps and the child in .theroom above her. and. thrilled with the mesmeric en- chantment sof the song, she became wrapped i'll consuming longing to try If she could not sing the old song again.
 She tiptoed about the room, and olos- ing the doors and looking eyer behind her, she cireled to the piano. F.
 She wished to osing out loud something that was in her heart, to put it into words and lot it como from her lips She believed that to say the aching words would ease throbbing in her heart She could not at first bring her self to begin the song, 80 she fumbled among the keys, pretending to hunt for the air, and said the words of the first stanza to herself ill silence. She touch edithe pianissimo pedal of the instru- ment; then, as her hands upon tho keys led her to the second bar. she moaned: AS lay my heart on your dead heart, Douglas,
 Douglas, Douglas, tender and true.
 And when she heard the horrid eroak of her own voice she membered-ev- erythlng. God pitied her and sent her two great tears, tears that were of youth That had been kept sacred through all the years Chicago Tribune

SWEET MEMORIES.
THE MELODY GRANDMOTHER SANG
 FIFTY YEARssAGo.

GAS Lay My Heart on Your Dead Heart.
 Douglas, Douglas. Tender and True"
 When Old Age Recalls the Dreams of
 the Past as Visions, There Is Tragedy.
 Three generations sat in the soft glow of the deep crimson lamp shade that mellowed everything in the little par Tor. There was one daughter seated at the piano, singing sweet and low. She most of all was glorifed by the ruddy rays from the translucent paper that fell over her. There was the mother, and beside her sat the mothers mother, near the circumference of the halo the one listening with glow of pride, the other, to whom the girl voice was new --the grandmother was visitor at the house-listening as one who hears a voice calling in lonesome place. She sat there thinking, thinking, thinking, did this dear old soul, of day when she, too, had sat at the piano herself, so proudly, and had sung the tender bal lads of that bygone day with voice full of passion, deep oontralto voice, one that touched the heart in it's most sacred depths, when the strong, clear notes were struck and then broke into a pleading tremolo in the upper register. Fifty years ago that grandam's s voice had thrilled hearts now dust, or worse than dust-hearts that were numb to tender things-and there was borne in the burden of her songs one message, that of iove-even before her heart had known it's meaning her voice had spok- en love. The voice of tho girl sitting at tho piano was like her grandmother s had been. 1t hunted chords i'll the hearts of those who heard her and set them pulsing ill echo to her own sweet long ing that could find no words. God only knows what long, silent, rusted chords she touched with her resonant voice, did thisehild, in her grandmother S soul.
 She sang the simple ballads of the day-'Last Night, The Clang of the Wooden Shoon, Marguerite e''-and as she sang her mother, to whom the sipgingswas an old story, slipped out of the room-taking all her yearswith her perhaps-and left them together, to- gether even in youth that sees visions. The young shall see visions, and the old shall dream dreams, saith the prophet But when, by some magic of voice or some alchemy of tho soul, old ago. which has dreamed dreams, sees in one vivid flash of light the dreams of the past as visions-there is tragedy. E
 The girl under the crimson lamp shade turned idly from leaf to leaf i'll her portfolio and sang by pieoemeal. The elder woman only asked that she keep on singing She only asked to hear that voice, her own voice, to tho very quaver on c, And her dreams were all but visions, and life was all but youth again. There had been a wild song, one that the nearer did not know. and the chorus sobbed out:
 Oh is 1t forever,
 Love, that we must sever,
