FORTY YEARS AFTER.


We climbed to the top OF Goat Point Hiil,
Sweet Kitty, my sweetheart, and I,
And watched the moon make stars on
the waves,
And the dim white ships go by;
While throne We made on a rough
stone wall,
And the king and the queen were we.
And sat with my arm about Kitty,
And she with her arm about me-
ThIa water was mad in the moonlight.
And the sand like gold where II shone.
And our hearts kept time TO the music
As we SAT- In that splentior alone.
And Ktty's dear eyes twinixled brightly,
And Kitty's brown hair blew 50 fn.e,
While sat with my arm about Kitty.
And she with her arm about me.
Last night we drove in our carriage,
To the wall at the top OF the fi.ll.
And though we're forty years older.
We're children and sweethearts stfll.
And we talked again OF that moonlight
That danced 80 mad on the sea.
When / sat with my arm about Kitfy.
And she with her arm about me-
The throne on the wall was stli standing,
But we sat In the carriage last night.
For wall Is too high for old psopae
Whose foreheads have iinings OF white.
And Kltty's waist measure Is forty.
While nine Is full fifty and three.
SO / can't get my arm about R1tty.
Nor can she get both hers about me.

ABOUT EDITOR STORY.
How His Raids on the Force Of News
paper Workers Were Checked.


Wilbur Story, though great editor,
never had fame for good humor; Gnd as
he grew old he grew irritable Little
things worried him; small matters made
him furious. If some mistake shone forth
in any fashion OF ragged, bad work In
the Chicago Times Story was liable to
inquire the criminal out. ari1 deal with
him.
There came q time in his life when his
dismlssals from the service Of his paper
averaged four a week; good men, too.
James B. Runndon. now editor-in-chief OF
the Kansas City Star, was then manag,
ing editor Of Wilbur Story's Times. TO
preserve his force from the devastating
swoops OF Story's drritability. something
had to be DONE
Runnfon studied the situation long ana
hard. He nodced THAT after Story had
discharged a man ne appeared to ex-
perience great relief, and would get along
In peace and comparative quietude for a
time. The record showed that Story
never fired more than one man in day.
If Runnion could only provide the right
sort of victim every day all would be
we'll. A bright idea struck Runnton. He
had a splendid competent boy in the eie-
vator. He removed this valuable youth
to another field and hired a boy; the
worst that he could find.
The boy knew nothing of an elevator
and did everything wrong The first time
Story get into the elevator with the
worthless boy he stlrted the machine too
soon and almost caught the great editor
in the door frame. Had he succeeded, 1t
would have ended Story's career. Upon
arrival at the top floor Story ordered the
dangerous youth discharged. 1t was done
aad the old elevator boy was sent back
until a fresh victim could be brought
on.
The next morning new and clumsy
elevator boy was discovered by Story
and promptly told to go. The morning
following Runnion fed The gr-at editor
another. Now and then boy would last
two days; but the rule was fve a week.
Story would immediate quintet Of ele-
vator boys each we:k, and with that he
would rest content. 1t was a good thing
and kept him off the regular force, and
restored tranquility among the hired men.
But 1t was bit rough on the boys.

FILIBUsrERs LAND.

Washington, June 13-Ths steamer
George Chllds, carrying the filibusterlne
expedition from Key West, has landed
at Jama ca. Definite information to this
effect has been received here. 1t was due
in large measure to the sailing of this
expedition last week that the adm -nistra~
ton determined on energetic steps to
prevent a violation of the neutrality
laws and that President Cleveland issued
his proclamation last night. The infor>
nation from Jamaica states only thai
the steamer has landed, but does not give
details as 10 whether the fil-busterers
are still on board, or were landed at
some point in Cuba. The fact tnat the
information from jamaica gives only this
arrival Of the Ch-lds, without mention or
the fillbusterers, leads to the impression in
some quarters that the suspicious dc-
rected against her may prove unfounded,
as there is only irregular information
thus far to show that the steamer carried
the party. If the steamer, as alleged,
has carried from the United tSates a
supply of munitions of war and armed
men to aid the rebels in Cuba, the In
c.dent may raise grave question as TO
the responsibility Of the government. On
the statement of facts to our officials
the case bears strong resemblance to the
celebrated Alabama affair. which cost the
British government many million dollars

A BOYS COMPOSITION.
A Washington Allston School Lad Writes
ON the History of Railroads.


The first railroad was between Boston
and Quincy. 1t was established in 1897
for the purpose of conveying granite from
the quarr.es in Quincy to Boston for the
building of Bunker Hin monument. Be
fore this, however, it wns introduced into
England by German who was the first
to invent one. 1t was then introduced
into America and was perfected.
AIT first the ru.ls were of wood. The
coaches were very roughly built. They
had sideboards on which the conductors
stood and walked The passengers were
locked in closet-ltke apartments and were
let out at the station which they vera
to get out at. The people were placed
SO that two people could look each other
in the face.
Horses were used at first, and every
four or five miles had ito be unhitched
and watered The steam was put TO
use soon after in place of horses. Some
authority says we owe the discovery OF
steam power to Robert Futon, who In
vented THE steamboat. Robert Fulton took
the discovery of another and put 1t into
use. James Watts is the person to whom
the discovery of steam power belongs,
He watched the tea kettle when 1t was

KEEP a cLEAN MOUTH.


A distinguished author says: II re-
solved when l was child never to use q
word which could not pronounce before
my mother" He kept his resolution, and
became a pure-minded, noble. honored
gentleman. His rule and example are
worthy of imitation.
Boys readily learn a class Of low, yul-
gar words and expressions which ara
never heard In respectable circles. OF
course, we cannot think OF girls as being
so much exposed to this peril We cannot
imagine a decent girl using words she
would not utter before her father or
mother.
Such vulgarlty is thought by some
boys to be SMART" the NEXT thing to
swearing" and yet mot so wicked" but
II IS habit which leads to profanity, and
fills the mind with evil thoughts 1t vui-
garizes and degrades the soul, and pre-.
pares the way for many Of the gross and
fearful sins which now corrupt society.
Young readers, keep your mouths free
from all impurity and your tongue from
evil" but In order to do this ask Jesus
to cleanse your heart and keep II clean

BANK FoRGRR ARRESTED.

San Francisco, June 19.-The police to-

gives his name as j. G. Davis, but has
a dozen alitses. He came here from Or
egon week ago, accompanied by con-
federate, known as Mrs. M. II. Briggs.
believed to be the cleverer of the two
swindlers. Davis brought with him a num-
ber of drafts purporting to have been
drawn by the United States National
Bank of Portland on the United States
Exchange Bank of New York. There is
no such institution as the last named.
In other respects the appearance of the
drafts were perfect, and well calculated
to deceive. The drafts were made pay,
able to one or the other of the two
swindlers, the amounts varying from 800
to $500. The pair victimized almost every
jeweler, furniture company, piano and
sewing machine firm in the city, by max
ing purchases, rendering a draft in pay
ment and receiving the difference in coin.
When jewelry was purchased the pair
carried t off, and the Briggs woman IS
believed to have secreted many valuable
diamonds.

IT GAINS HORSES.
Magic Nose Bit Invented by Humane
Connecticut Yankee.

Hartford Times
A realty remarkable device for milking
any shying horse perfectaibly calm and
tractable Is the new invention Of Henry
Small of this city. Properly speaking It
is not a bit" for 1t does not go into
the horses mouth at all, but Is only a
simple nosepiece that goes over the
horses upper lip, but does not ntcessar-
lily draw on or even scarcely touch 1t
unless the driver has a gentle pull on 1t;
then 1t touches the end of the animals
nose or upper lip, and that mere touch,
which should not be increased much, does
the whole business
Mr.. Smalls contrivance consists of a
simple head strap, properly braced, and
coming down between the hors5's eyes
and nostrlls, to its end IN the shape Of
sort Of little metallic upper lip. This
latter little piece of metal, only about
two inches long and not half an inch
wide, IS humorous.y called a Trolley
bit" It's curving side ends, like an or
dinary bit, are so devised that a very
slight, gentle pull on the reins brings the
trolley BIT against the tip OF the horses
nose.
In complete absorption in the study OF
q new experience the horse may be driven
right up by the side Of noisy locomotive
or of a gong-banging trolley car, that
presents to tine horse, under ordinary cir
cumstances, the sinister aspect Of NOV
ing, perhaps living thing, going without
any visible means of compulsion, and in
his strict attention to the new sensation
at the tip of his nose he will take no
notice Of the car or of the locomotive.
The queerest thing Of all is the fact that
no amount Of use or familiarity with
the noseltoucher arrangement seems 10
lessen the horses interest in II.
