TINES COMPENSATION.
The Fellow That Played the Mouth Organ
Trlumphed at Last

''Some fellow tells us in poetry" said
the judge while they were enjoying
themselves in the tent after hard days
fishing, ''how fortune plies her sports
when she begins to practice them"
This trip recalls an illustration from
real life.
81 fished in this same lake 30 years
ago I'd tell you something about my
luck that summer, but all men are put
down as liars when they venture on fish
ing experiences. \ party of us put up
AT an old farmhouse, and in the number
were half n dozen girls, full of life and
mischief. We kept the fun going with
a rush, and one of our chief sources of
amusement was n shock-headed young
fellow living in this neighborhood.
Il can see that chap yet playing
mouth organ. He threw his body
around promiscuously, tossed his head
in every direction and blew till his face
looked as would that of the man in the
moon If painted red. He also performed
on the accordion and made as much
work of it as pitching hay. When he
sung of the bonnie laSSes of Scotland
he was innocently persistent in calling
them the honey Iasses. He roarcd
about the days of old Long Sime,' and
knocked harmony into smithereens as
he rendered off on n Still at Night
THE girls made fool of him. They
praised his singing and playing until he
imagined himself n musical prodigy.
and his hat was sizes too small for him.
When he took them ont rowing they
would talk so admiringly of his strength
that he almost pulled himself in two.
He danced all over the girls feet and
wrenched them numerically in hust-
ling them through the figures; but they
were always talking of how divincly ne
danced. i Joined making game of him.
but / can recall now that he and did
a good deal of swapping for which he
seemed to have n mania, and that in re-
turn for my watch. n diamond scarf pin
and fancy fishing tackle 1 had a lot of
old traps and calamities that were not
worth carrying back to civilization.
The young fellow proposed to the
gayest girl in the crowd. and when she
laughed him from her presence without
one word of regret or sympathy he
seemed to realize the situation. and left
with look that years of his old life
would never have produced. He's now
the multi-millionaire speculator that
holds a big mortgage on the T1agnifi-
cent home of the Widow Dainty. She is
the woman that made sport of his love
80 years ago."-N. Y. Telegram

Why not be in good form? Not in the

and bearing as well as of feature and of

of figure and movement is not less i'm
portant than the other. Besides, as has
been very sensiblS said, IAN erect bodily
attitude is of greater Importance to
health than many persons imagine.
Crooked positions, maintained for any
length of time, are always injurious,
whether in a sitting, standing, or lying
position, whether sleeping or waking
TO sit with the body leaning forward
on the stomach or to one side, with the
heels elevated on n level with the hands
il is not only bad taste, but very dctri-
mental tc good health. 1t cramps the
stomach, presses the vital organs. in
terrupts free motion of the chest, and
enfeebles the functions of various or
gans, and, in fact, unbalances the entire
muscular system. Many persons arc
made round shouldered or humpbacked
by sleeping upon very high pillows
When anyone finds it much easier &c
sit, stand or sleep in n crooked position
instead of IA straight one, rest assured
that the muscular system has been
abused, and at once take steps toward
rectifying the damage already DONE

CHILOaEN'S EYES.

Did you ever look
In a child's clear eyes
And feel the heaven that Law
In the innocent depth
OF the open soul,
As yet unsoiled by clay?
Oh, holy thing
In a child's Gle ar eyes
And tender the hand should be
That touches the flower
Still wet with the dew
OF Heavens own mystery.
1t was said "Of Old"
That the demons that strove
For the doom of the race that fell,
If meeting the look
OF a child's pure eyes
Sank down to their native hell.
And the truth that hides
In the myth ''Of OLD
Breaks as a star doth rise:
For the inmoSt heaven
OF innocence dwells
In the trust of child's sweer eyes.
And this is the look
That the Goldman loved,
When He gathered them close to Hi
breast.
And. laying His hands
On their shining heads,
Pronounced them forever blest-
And the angels sent
From His kingdom above.
To watch. and to guard. and to stay.
Do always behold
he face divine
OF Him who spoke that day.

Early next morning two cyclists might
have been seen wheeling up Clarence
avenue. The one in front was n man,
big and distinguished-looki man
whom to see was to remember. The
second cyclist was young girl. who
kept always at about the same distance
from the man in front.
After awhile the man turned from
the main avenue into n road which led
into the country. The girl followed.
and when the few houses in the road
were passed she began to scorch and
was soon ahead of the man, who noticed
with admiration the erect way in which
she sat in spite of the speed at which
she was going. She wore dark skirt
and pale pink blouse, which made n
pretty bit of color in the landscape. the
man thought, as his eyes travelled from
her to the far blue distance.
When his gaze sought the fair cyclist
again he found that she was seated on
the road, her wheel lying beside her
The man wondered how she had man

Gar Docsp.t Paw for Coronation.

The impression that the expenditure
in connection with the coronation al
Moscow was paid by the ear out OF his
own pocket is erroneous. Every rouble
in the imperial treasury is supposed to
be at the absolute disposal OF the car
and he draws upon the treasury at dis
cretion. In addition. he is the owner of
