NOT A COINCIDENCE.

A Clever Definition Which Happened to
BE Little on.
"Mr. Johnsing, wat am de meaning
OBJ de word 'coincidence'?" inquired
Jasper Washington, who, with large
parcel tucked under one arm, paused
on his homeward way to lean for a
moment against the door-jamb of
Augustus Johnson's tiny house.
"W'y, Jasper" answered the old
man, while a broad, benevolent smile
overspread his sable countenance, "a
coincidence am one OBJ dem tings dat
am mighty hard to anologize in words,
| cause it's OBJ kind OBJ surruptitious

''Surruptitious!' repeated Mr.. Wash
lngton with vague dismay.
''Yes, Jasper, dat's wat it am" con-
tinued the old darby. solemnly. 'But

trated jess as easy as rollin' off log.

Seymour sat playing nervously with
an ash-tray on the table. He seemed
to be trying to speak, and to have lost
his voice. At last he said jerkily, and
with an attempt at laugh:
ITO tell you the truth, everybody.
you are spelling practical joke OF
mine. Lambsworthy was SO very con-
cerned at the first burglary that l
thought how funny it would be If the
same thing occurred in the next house
he tried. The landlord is my tobao-
conist, and-well, there wasn't bur-
glary last night at all; it was just ar
ranged between us for larkl-er-
that's all"
If live to be hundred shall never
forget Miss Cardonneps look of con-
tempt as he finished speaking; and
don't think Seymour will forget it
either. Her papa's violent opinion of
practical jokes and jokers paled into
insignifcance beside it, and Lambs
worthy's good-natured assurance that
mo harm was done" fell perfectly un-
needed in the room.
Yes; Norah became Mrs. Stephen
Lambsworthy, and refused to invite
Seymour to the wedding. Whether
affairs would have ended like that in
the ordinary course, don't know; but
that is how they did end. and Seymour,
at least, has always been convinced
that he has only himself to thank for
it.-St. Pauls.

Two Brave Men.

An exhibition of courage was given
by an infantryman at the storming Of
the Gemmun gate at Ping Yang. Here
the thick stone walls proved i'm
pervious to Japanese shot and shell,
and after two fruitless assaults it was
decided to try some other method.
Lieut.. Mimura volunteered to open
the gate single handed, but Private
Harada stepped out and said he would
follow along and help. Both men
then ran for corner of the gateway,
while their comrades diverted the at
tention of the Chinese defenders by
keeping up hot fusillade. Mimura
and Harada clambered quickly up the
face of the wall by placing their hands
and feet in the chinks between the
stones. They succeeded in reaching
the top without being seen by the Chi
nese, who were busy blazing away at
the main body of the enemy, and then
jumped down and rushed for the in
side of the gate. They had to cut their
way through horde of Cinnamon as
soon as they had gotten inside the
town; but they finally beat them off.
and threw the bolts of the heavy
gates, that were at once showed in by
the attacking force outside. Both
Lieut.. Mimura and Private Harada
were promoted the next day.-Harpers

LIES LESSON.

With what madness, untold sadness,
Spin we the tangled threads Of life;
With what worW, undue hurry,
And such ed 0kness for strife,
Do we 60 Keeling, devoid of feeling.
Save for self, and self alone.
Through s1<Ae day, in LIES pathway,
A ne62s Aspe unknown.
Tread we fearless, blind and fearless,
On many an aching heart;
While 1t lies bleeding We, unheedtng,
Race on as swift as at the start;
Knowing never, If, or ever,
The thing we seek to clasp
Shall finally, in security,
Rest in our eager grasp.
And then, at last, when life Is past,
And we hear the breakers roar
On the great sea of eternity,
AS they dash upon its shore
Too late we learn our chief concern
Were something else save trying
To pluck the flower, born Of the hour,
That fades while we are dying.
