ANOTHER "absent-minded MANI
item has been received. This one
refers to Ampere, the famous mathe-
maticiau, who was noted for his alb
sent-mindedness. On one occasion
1T is stated, that while walking along
the street he mistOok the back of a
cab for blackboard, and as a black
board was just the thing he needed
at the time, to solve a problem
which had been vexing his mind for
some moments during his walk, he
made use of 1t. Taking a piece of
chalk out Of his pocket he proceeded
to trace out number Of algebraical
formulse on the cabs back, and fol-
lowed the moving board for the
space of a quarter of an hour with
out noticing the progress of the con-
veyance. AS to whether the cab
man charged by the course or by the
hour, or even at all, the item does
not inform us.
From the same source we have
the following item: They have a
good joke just at present on a well
known lawyer who is noted for his
Observation-Disclosures. He went up hie
own stairs the other day and seeing
a notice on his own door Back al

POETRY
THE OLD CHURCH BELL,

How many thronging memories
Thy solemn tones recall:
The days of thoughtless innocence
My mind reviews them all.
Within that peaceful house of PRAYER
My infant life was blessed
And consecrated to the truth
Which Christian lips confessed.
The infant feet have learned to stray.
And they haye wandered far;
I ct over all their stormy path
Shines Bethlehem s holy star.
And like the wanderers of old
Who sought it's blessed light,
My heart finds refuge in the truth
Which woke the earth from night.
Effulgent CLEANS proclaims the dawn
or happiness [ sought;
The bitter lessons of the past
Their miracles have wrought.
The consecrating hand of grief
Has left upon my brow
A cross that bids me not forget
Each early Christian VOW.
Ring on, old bell thy voice has fonnd
An echS14h my heart,
And through the coming years Of life
Its tones will not depart.
For when hear church bell ring,
If near or far away,
The sound will call to mind the past
And this calm, holy day.

ROUGH ON THE CoACHMAN.-A
practical joke was played the other
day. A gentleman, who has some
thing of a reputation as wag, was
the writer's companion, and we were
passing large shop. There, drawn
up, were three or four vehicles, and
among them was closed brougham
with the driver fast asleep OH the
box. Evidently the mistress was
inside the shop.
Without word, the wag stole
quickly up, and, opening the car
riage-dOor carefully, slam med it to.
In moment the coachman straight
ened up, and gazed down the street
at the electric light which was fixed
there AZ If he had never seen any
thing so interesting in his life. Then
he stole look over his shoulder and
saw the wag standing hat in hand,
apparently talking to some one in
side the carriage.
"Thank you; yes; good-day,"
said the wag, and bowed himself
gracefully away from the door, turn.
as he did 80 to look at the driver and
say, Home
Yes, sir tch get up" and of
went the brougham "home."
Where that "home" was, who the
mistres of the carriage was, or what
she did when she came out of the
shop, or what the coachman did
when he stopped at the door OF
"hOme" and found the carriage
empty, all that only the coachman
and the lady know.

Signs OF q Hard Winter.
OCTOBER SUNSHINE Is BUT A DE.
LUsIoN.-CHILLING BLASTS
ARE COMING.

From the most reliable authority
1T is learned that the goosebone is
nearly all white this year. To the
careless, unthinking person this
means little, but TO the coal dealer,
the plumber and the man who re-
pairs furnaces, this means a rich sea-
son of harvest, for snow will cover
the ground early in December, and
continue until late in April.
Wise men will prepare for hard
winter. A long, cold winter filled
with clustering storms and chilling
winds is an inevitable of the near,
future' and the bland golden weather
OF this October month should not
deceive the man who has not as vet
made his peace with the coal dealer.
The overcoatless may thrive for q
brief season, but sooner or later
and ten to one it will be sooner
they will hurry for the morning car
with chattering teeth and numbed
limbs.
The goosebone is not alone in pre-
dieting the approach of winter
Corn shucks are unusually thick this
fall, and the bark on the hickory
trees is Of thickness betokening a
prospective struggle with a low ba-
rometer. The chipmunks and squir-
reis have gathered an extra quantity
or nuts, and the fur on the rabbit is
as heavy as it ordinarily is in mid
winter. Down on the marsh and up
and down the length of Ten Mile
creek the muskrat has dotted the
landscape with his little thatched
cottages, the walls of which are
built with a view to withstand chilli
ness of unusual severity. The musk
rat himself is sleek and fat-fat
enough to kill.
But welcome or not, cold, bluster-
ing winter weather will soon be here
and when it comes 1t will not loosen
Its icy grasp until even later in the
spring than usual. Toledo Blade.

A NARROW EsCAPE.-The tall,
aged, sad looking man ate a bounti.
ful dinner at the restaurant, and
then with check calling for seventy
live cents made his way to the cash
ier's desk. He banged down the
check with battered silver dollar,
and looked sadder than ever.
The cashier picked up the dollar,
and examined it suspiciousiy. It
had deep dent on one side, and
looked as though it had been plug
ged. AT that moment the customer
spoke: at is very painful for me
to part with that dollar. It saved
my life once, however, and must do
so again. At the siege OF Vicksbury

dent you see there was made by a
bullet, which otherwise would have
killed me. have kept it since as a
memorial, snd it we'll nigh breaks
my heart to let it go; but must-I
have nothing else"
The cashier was plainly interested.
"In what year was the siege of
Vicksburg ?" he asked.
"Sixty-three," said the sad look
ing man, promptly.
"And this dollar" returned the
cashier, "is dated 1877, and is a
counterfeit"
The sad man looked annoyed
"Of course it is," he replied
" How could have an 1877 dollar i'm
'63 if 1t wasn't a counterfeit ?n
And the cashier was so dumb
founded that he passed out quarter
in change, and allowed the sad man
to escape.

LINCOLN AS LOVER.-A writer
In the Chicago Times Herald says G..
G. Brown, Of Springfield, tells the
following story, which he has every
reason to believe Is absolutely true {;
"Some time in the autumn of 1910,
after Lincoln and Mary Todd had
been keeping company and after
1t was understood they were engaged, -,
some trouble arose between them,
and they became estranged. Each
was anxious for a reconciliation, vet
neither would make the initial ad-
vance.
John J. Hardin, of Jacksonville,
made party, and a number OF
Springfield people were invited -
Among them was Mary Todd. Lin
coin did not accompany them. AT
ter dinner all the young men brought
around saddle horses and took the
young women for gallop to the
places of interest i'm the vicinity
So skillfully did Mr.. Hardin and his
wife manipulate the start that the
whole party had arranged itself into
couples mounted and prepared to
ride before 1t was discovered that
Miss Todd had no escort. Deeply
chagrined, but in perfect control,
she disclaimed having had any IN
tention of going with them, and
rallying her woman tact, speeded
them gaily.
Then she sat down on the porch,
in no very pleasant mood and Hardin
and his wife were left alone. While
she sat there Lincoln arrived entirely
without a suspicion Of his coming
so far as she was concerned. And it
was there their differences were ar
ranged and when the party returned
they thoughl they understood why
Mary Todd had refused to 20 riding
with them.
In the following November Abra-
ham Lincoln and Mary Todd were
married."
