Another One of Those Things One
Would Rather Have Left Unsaid.
She had admired the men and though
the years had come and gone and she
was still Miss Brown her admiration
had not abated, say the Detroit Free
Press.
On the contrary it had increased. She
was of the modern woman school also,
or at least wanted people to think SO
and as for herself, she thought, she was
intensely interesting. To young Mr..
Jones she had been lately addressing
herself and young Mr.. Jones didn't like
it little bit. In fact, young Mr.. Jones
usually fed when she appeared, but
on this occasion she had taken him un-
awares and was now holding him in
her thrall in pretty alcove in the con-
| servatOry.
Just beyond them sat a pretty girl to
whom young Mr.. Jones was devoted
and he longed to get over to her and oust
the vapid youth who, young Mr. Jones
was sure, was making desperate love
/ to her But Miss Brown held on like
4 a turtle.
do you know, Mr.. JONES' she was
ksaying in her most intense fashion,
s. that the modern woman is an ideal
Ito me?'
"a NO. really, don't know confessed
IfEdr. Jones, much against his will
II But it is true she continued; "and,
Hgoh, Mr.. Jones. some of the women we
Eread of in books, see on the stage and
khear of in daily life appeal SO strongly
ITO mer'
r'Yes?" said Mr. Jones, with a rising
EdIfection.
sstes Indeed, yes she responded. Then
ENith deep earnestness she turned to
nm:
~Did you know, Mr.. JONES'" she whis-
Defed, almost tragically, that 1 am a
woman with a past?"
Young Mr.. Jones was absorbed in
watching the pretty girl and the afore-
said youth.
"Well,'' he replied in an absent-mind-
ed sort Of a way, ''moSt women who had
lived forty years weren't born yester-
day, don't you know?'
Later in the evening young Mr.. Jones
told the pretty girl how it happened
that Miss Brown would forever there
after be to him only a stranger.

Some other Day.


There are wonderful things we are going
to do,
Some other day;
And HORRORS we hope to drift into
Some other day.
With folded hands and oars that trail,
We watch and wait for a favoring gale
To fill the folds of an idle sail
Some other day.
We know we must toll if ever we win
Some other day,
But we say to ourselves there's time to
begin
Some other day;
And so, deferring, we loiter on,
Until at last we find withdrawn
The strength Of the hope we leaned upon
Some other day.
And when we are old and our race is run
Some other day,
We fret for the things that might have
been done
Some other day.
We trace the path that leads us where
The beckoning hand of grim despair
Leads us yonder, out of the here,
Some other day.

he was not happy. The sole cause of
his trouble was that he was so years
old, while his pretty wife was only 25.
He had spent all his life in business,
had never married, or even been really
in love, until a couple of years or so
ago when he retired from the firm of
which he was senior partner-Hall-
wool & Welshrunk, the famous wool
importers. After being released from
the cares of business, he travelled for
a couple of months in Europe, but did
not enjoy it very much.
On returning to America, he spent a
few weeks at the country house of an
old friend-and enjoyed himself might
ly, for in the person of the pretty and
1ovable governess of his hosts children
he met his fate.
Now, Mr.. Hallwool was q handsome,
well-preserved man, and, being also
very rich, no one could blame him for
selecting poor girl to be his wife. But
Margaret Belford, though poor, be-
lOnged to good family, which had be
come impoverished through various
causes, and when it was evident that
she must go out into the world to earn
a living for herself, she submitted to
her altered fortunes without repining.
Miss Belford was fortunate in secur-
ing so good home as she did under
Mr.. Staples roof, and, we may add,
still more fortunate when she attracted
the affectionate attentions of the visi-
tor, Mr.. Hallwool, for he was an up
siSrof nJ A sioeaY0 To
was painfully conscious of the disparity
in years between himself and the young
lady whose charms had played such
havoc with his well-seasoned heart.
But as it was evident that there was
affection on both sides, the love-smitten
pair were not long in coming to an un-
derstanding.
In two months afterwards Miss Bel
ford became Mrs. Hallwool, and amply
fulfilled the prophecy of Mr.. Staple,
who gave her away" for he said:
Horace, my boy, she's the best gov
erness 1 ever met with, and she'll be
the best wife in America, after Mrs.
Staple, of course
1t was the second anniversary of his
wedding, and Mr.. HallwoOrs house was
ablaZe with light in every room and
thronged with merry company. Mirth
and music reigned supreme, and the
beauty, grace and vivacity of Mrs. Hall
wool won admiration from young and
old. 1t was this fact that infused a
dash of bitterness in Horace Hallwoofs IS
cup of happiness
When he saw his young wife the cen
ter of attraction to the few young men
present, pang, something almost akin
to jealousy, shot through his heart, and
he muttered:
y would give half my fortune could
1 relive half the years l have passed.
All. If 1 were only % instead of 80 |
should be perfectly happy and content

Although he had every proof of the
strength and sincerity of his wifes
affection for him, the idea that his age
might cause her to compare him un-

CoIonus.

(From the Greek of Sophocles.)
Colonus! White Colonus! rest and peace
Haunt thy green glades and thy low
murmuring streams
Thy limpid waters gurgle sweet surcease
From toll and pain. The gentle guarding
dreams
Hover with drowsy wings above thy bow
ers,
Where dark the pine, his leaf-laced
shadow throws
With low love-litanies the bosom'd hours
Cradle the 'turbed soul to soft repose.
Here lies earth's fairest home here ever
chaunts,
Thro' dreamy summer woods slave-charm-

The imperial bird of song that constant
hauntS
The darkling thicket by the babbling rill.
Here, here, Idoneus! pour in slumber deep
On mortal eyes, thy dark immortal sleep.

I looked and saw a splendid pageantrJ
OF beautiful women and of lordly men,
Taking their pleasure in fiowery plain,
Where poppies and the red anemone,
And many another leaf of cramolsy,
Flickered about their feet, and gave
their stain
To heels of iron or satin, and the grain
Of silken garments floating far and free.
As in the dance they wove themselves, or
strayed
By twos together, or lightly smiled and
bowed,
Or curtsied to each other, or else played
At games of mirth and pastime, unafraid
In their delight; and all so high and
proud,
They seemed scarce of the earth where
on they trod.
I looked again and. saw that fowery space
Stirring, as if alive, beneath the tread
That rested now upon an old mans
head,
And upon a baby's gasping face,
Or mothers bosom, or the rounded grace
OF girls throat; and what had seemed
the red
Of flowers was blood, in gouts and
gushes shed
rom HedrIS lHaI DrOhe uHuer IHdI 1rOuc
pace.
And now and then from out the dreadful
floor
An arm or brow was lifted from the
rest,
As if to strike in madness, or implore
For mercy; and anon some suffering
breast
Heaved from the mass and sank; and as
before
The reyelers above them thronged and
pressed.

PORCH CLIMBER CAUGHT.


Another good piece of detective work was
accomplished yesterday, when George Ber-
nard was arrested by detectives Kinney and
Richards. Bernard has been positively
identified as the man who climbed the porch
at No. 229 North Pennsylvania street Fri
day night and secured a sealskins cloak
from the house. Two young men stood by
and watched Bernard climb the post, enter
the house and then escape without attempt
ing to apprehend the thief. A good de-
scription of the thief was furnished the
detectives, and but for an accident they
would have captured him Friday night, as
he attempted 10 sell the cloak for 30 cents
after stealing ii. The detectives recognized
Bernard on the street yesterday from the
description. and placed him under. arrest.
charged with burglary and grand larceny.
Several secondhand dealers and pawn
brokers were found who identified Bernard
as the man who had offered to sell them a
sealskin cloak answering the description OF
the one stolen. Bernard is a stranger In
this city, and the detectives think that he
is an experienced porch climber.

A LITTLE SCHEME,


A prominent South Side manufacturer.
engaged in producing a line of goods used
by the packing trades, has recently gotten
himsel into a ludicrous predfcament that
is affording much amusement to his
friends. Not long ago he learned that a
rival concern was about to enter the field
he had occupied for years with no COM
petitor. In one of the daily papers he read
an advertisement for a foreman inserted
by the rival firm. The South Slider had a
valuable man in his employ, who had
worked in the factory foryears, who knew
every detail of the business. Customers de-
cIared the work turned out under his direc-
ton was the best to be found. The man
ufacturer conceived the idea, of answering
the advertisement in his name,
which he did, skins for the situation. He
then went to the foreman and explained
what he had done. stating 1t TO be neces-
sary for him to get a clear insight into
his rivals business he asked tae lore,

secrets and then return TO his old situation.
