| did not see Senator Hale at the Hol-
land house yesterday with his wife and
mother-in-law, Mrs. Zachariah Chandler.
The ladies are in town merely for a lit
tie shopping. Senator Hale is the one
man in the upper house of Congress who
is always spick and span, like a freshly
groomed team of bays. You never
would guess him to be on the verge of
60. His hair, not very gray, is always
parted severely in the middle-so severe
ly, in fact, that the part never goes
astray even in the most trying moments
of heated debate. It is a plastered part.
1t is the part introduced here by the
late Lord Randolph Churchill, and cred

BEST IN THE WORLD.
More to Come.


AS I have previously observed, says
writer in Town Topics, there has been
an unusual number of marriages during
this month Perhaps this means the dJ-
ing out of the popular superstition that
May marriages are unlucky. This super
stition seems to be modern and its origin
curious. May used to be called the mer-
~ month, and we find it's name in such
Anglo-SaXon words as "mayd" and may
den," and their derivations, which are
surely neither unpleasing nor unlucky.
But, anciently, May came from Maia, @
goddess, who was the daughter of Atlas
and the mother of Mercury, and the mod
ern church has made it "the month OF
Mary" By both of these derivations the
idea of unhappy motherhood is suggested
for Maias son was thief and the son Of
Mary was a martyr. Hence, doubtless,
the superstitions as to the matrimonial ILL
luck Of May. Or, it may be possible THAI
the objection of modern women to mother
hood in general was the cause, and, now
that children have once more become
fashionable, the superstition is being lost.
June, the month of Juno, has been for
many years the proverbial lucky time for
weddings, but Juno was by no means
a happy wife. / fancy that the changed
conditions Of society have had more to do
with the May marriages than any of these
musty considerations. There being no
fashionable season in this country after
Easter, many people are anxious to gee
away to Europe or to their summer re-
sorts, and those who are engaged nat
urally desire to go together. Hence the
present rush to the hymeneal altar.

Classics.

An ancient controversy has recently
been revived in England by the question
as to what really constitutes classic.
Some define it as IAN ancient author,
highly approved, who is an authority on
the subject he treats Of" Goethe, on
the other hand, protested against the con-
fusion of what is classic with what is
merely old and declared that all "healthy
work" not matter whether modern or
ancient, is classic. The French Academy,
speaking ex-cathedra, defines classic au,
thors as 'those who have become models
in any language" while Sainte-Beuve de-
clares that a true classic is an author
who has "enriched the human mind" In,
deed, no two opinions on the subject seem
to coincide, and what appears to be a
classic to one sort of people is refused that
qualification by Others

Lewis Bates, the wealthiest colored
man in Chicago, and believed to be worth
half million dollars, has just celebrat-

money in real estate bought with the saw
ings from his work as driver of an ex-
press wagon, and though he has been well
supplied with this worlds goods for long
time it was only year ago that he gave
up driving the wagon. He owns two fine
apartment houses which are rented to
white people, while he himself lives in one
dingy room in a house he owns on Dear
born street, does his own cooking and has
nothing to do with the other coiored peo-
pie because they laughed at him for keep

A SUGGESTION TO THE SPRING POET.

Make the soft and balmy breeze
Stir the leaves upon the trees;
Let the lark upon the wing
To the sun his matin sing;
Watt the fragrance from the flowers
In my lady's trellised bowers;
Sail the frefy's tiny light
Out across the dusky night;
With the moonlight Ger the mountain
Silver crystals at the fountain;
Paint the skies an azure blue;
Battle the roses in their dew;
Make the lovel0rn swain to sigh
When his sweetheart draweth nigh;
Apostrophize old Father Time
When you close your vernal rhyme
Then show that you yourself are green
And mail it to a magazine.

A Good Reason.

The teacher told the children how a
wise man once said that we have only
one mouth and two ears SO that we may
listen and hear twice as much as we
speak. Afterward to see how much of
the instruction was remembered she
asked:
''Why is it that we have two ears and
only one mouth, Frances"
Because we would not have room in
our face for two mouths and we would
look too crooked if we had only one ear"
mo, that is not the reason. You know,
do you, Rosie"
Yes, ma'am. So that what we hear
may go in one ear and out the other

Killed a Famous Bear.

B. Bowman, large rancho owner Of
Cummings, in Mendocino county, Cal,
has shot and killed ''Old Four-to e," one
of the largest, cinnamon bears ever seen
in the country. For over twelve years
the bear had been preying on stock in
the northern portion of the county, and
damage to the extent of over $4,000 Is
directly traceable to his raids. He was
freed early one morning and was killed
while descending a pine in order to do
battle with the hounds. The brute
weighed over 900 pounds and it required
three saddle horses to bring the carcass
into camp.lOmaha Bee.

Scarcely was she seated before they COM

Presently the lady turned around. She
noticed at glance that the bride was

said:
