will not light the lamps until I've thought
What was the sweetest thing
In all my day;
I will not seek to speed
The lingering ray
Until my anxious eye somewhere hath
caught
A word, a SMILE or something that hath
passed
In my small sphere o memory, thou hast
Some sweet to-day!
Now fancy travels out and cOnjures up
A long and brilliant train;
1t all floats by,
Joy and sadness go
With laugh and sigh,
And dregs of pain lie deep in pleasures cup
But now 1 see two tender hazel eyes
Turn on me-lips that smile - All, herein
lies
My sweet today
A perfume breathes from pictures Of the
mind,
And in our fancy memory carves her lore,
Our dearest treasures in the air we find;
knew my happiness tonight was for
Some sweet to-day!

A Lucky Lead Pencil.

There was excitement among the

Decoration Day as the first game OF
baseball between the New Yorks anil
Chicagos drew out to its eleyen-inning
length. The boys were crowded about

to bat in the last half of the last inn.

report" cried the sporting editor.
"rhat operator is hooloO. " "No,
let him change pencils" called au-
other member of the staff, proffering,
at the same time, his own bit Of lead.
The change was effected, and IN less
than minute came the report of
Farrell's home run, whic, woa the
game. The city editor straightway
ordered the lucky pencil preserved
for future use when the Giants got in
tight place. ---New York World.

Everything Comes to The Waiter.

The great rise in the price of oil he
gladdened the heart of at least one
Philadelphian who has been waiting
since 1878, with about 5000 barrels in
storage, for a favorable turn in the
market. This gentleman was at one
time largely interested in the pro luc-
ton of oil, and is to-day the owner OF
5000 acres of land i'll the West Vir'
ginia oil fields. He was one OF the
Independent producers, whose well
spouted forth lubricating oil of the
finest quality, and who refused to sub
nit to the dictates of the Standard Oil
Company. He stood out until the
price of his lubricant had fallen to
twenty-five cents gallon, when he
determined to lock up his oil until he
could get his price. Having his own
iron tanks and storehouses, he stored
his oil, and there it has remained to
this day. philadelphia Record.
