MERELY A BLUFF.
1t Might Fave Worked Had an Explana-
tion Been Made.

Ex-Congrcssmm O'Neill of Missouri,
who was i'll the city for a week Or ten
days recently, has friend in Washing
ton, Frenchman, who has the happy
faculty of 5eguiling the hours in such
a pleasant manner that the Missourian
often gets to bed long after the chimes
of midnight have tolled the beginning
of another day. About 3 a. m. few
nights ago it occurred to Mr.. O'Neill
that nature had some claims upon him
of paramount Importance with those of
his French friend, and just for bluff
he suddenly broke off the conversation,
which took place i'll the lobby of the ho-
tel in which the retired statesman was
stopping, and said to the clerk in loud
voice:
"Call me at 6 80, I've got to take an
early train ~
The Frenchman excused himself hur-
riedly and departed, and with a heart
rejoicing in the success of his strata
gem O'Neill sought his couch and pre-
pared to press it until the dinner bell
should summon him to his days task,
for he had no intention of leaving for
several days to come.
About | 5 minutes Of o'clock vio-
lent rapping at his door aroused him
from the sweetest part of his slumbers,
and familiar voice in the corridor was
heard to eXclaim:
"Pardonnez- moi, Meester O'Neill.
Eet's nearly seek o'clock
- 1 -
"what's that to me? Go away and let
me sleep"
At this the pounding at the door be-
came more violent than before.
'Bud you sed you wanded to geet oop
to catch re t-r ain, and 20 haf COON to
wake you. Geet oop, geet oop. or you
will meez re TRAIN" and the pounding
continued.
1t was no use to demonstrate. O'NeilIs
friend insisted on making him get up
and open the door. Then he explained
that he had heard him tell the clerk to
call him in time for the early train, but
as he had kept him up so late the night
before he feared that the clerk might
forget, and accordingly he had come to
the hotel to see that he did not over
sleep himself.
"You old muttonhead - exclaimed
the Missourian. Don't you know that
l left that order just to get rid of you
because 1 wanted to go to bed to get
some sleep? Don't you know it was all
a bluff?''
"Bloof?" exclaimed the Frenchman.
"Bloof, Meester O'Neill?'
eyes, bluff, repeated O'Neill.
"So Why you not tell me zat:" de-
manded his friend, "and l woot not
haf come. Washington Post.

CRADLE SONG.

The crickcts in the corner sing,
Der farm and field the shadows creep,
Their homeward way the swallows wing
The sun is setting in the deep,
The squirrels seek their leafy hold,
The fox is in his hollow tree,
And, huddled in their silent fold,
The downy lambkins sleeping be,
The little bird within his nest
Hath hid his little head in rest,
And soon, oh, soon
The dreamy moon
Will sail along the fleccy west.
The day is done,
The night begun;
To sleep, my drowsy little one.
But when at break Of day we see
The spider weaving ut his loom,
The soaring lark above the lea,
The bee amid the clover bloom,
When frislxing baby squirrels wake
And sip the leaves of morning dew,
When baby foxes from the brake
Do prowl the thorny hedges through,
When on the meadow sweet with hay
The white and curly lambkins play,
And sweet and cool,
Der plain and pool.
Bloweth the breeze of coming day,
Thou, too, shalt rise
To sunny skies,
And open wide thy baby eyes.

Poor Man Standing Up For His Rights.

Of course there was a time-and not
so very long agO-when men were ty-
rants and kept women under. Nova
days the only thing denied them in
polite circles is to whisk around by
themselves after dark, and plenty of
them do that. The law is giving them,
with both hands, almost everything
they ask for nearly as rapidly as exist
ing inequalities are pointed out, and
the right Of suffrage is withheld from
them only because the majority of
women are still averae to exercising it.
Man. the tyrant and highwayman,
has thrown up his arms and is allowing
woman to pick his pockets He is not
willing to have her bore Il hole in his
upper lip and drag him behind her
with rope but he is disposed to con-
sent to any reasonable legislative
changes which she desires to have made,
short of those which would involve mas
culine Disagreement or depreciation.--

Teeth on His Backbone.

joined in the conversation of the side

tel "Now, most people think that
when a Iullfrog bellows he is lying
upon a big rock just blowing off. That's
not SO. When a frog bellows he is lying

speaker spread ont his broad palm. Give

waffle under his throat. Well, he fills
that up about half full of water and
blows ont the air through it. You've
all put water in bottle and then blown
into it?" There was no response, but
Mr.. Camp continued: "You know how
that sounds. Well, a frog bellows in
that same way, and it sounds just like
blowing i'll bottle partly filled with
water. Just this way" and the speaker
expanded his own "wattle' and gave
an imitation so natural as to alarm the
cook in the hotel kitchen.
"Do you know where frogs teeth
are?' continued Squire Camp, encour
aged by the absence of argument.
"In his belly" somebody suggested.
"No. A frog S teeth, " resumed Squire
Camp impressively, "are just about the

KATIE AND THE OLD GUITAR.

The tauetest strain that ever
lay captured ears have heard
know that memory never
Can lose single word
Was on n balmy evening
That crowned summer day
When Katie tuned the old guitar
And sang my heart away.
The happy starlight beaming
Upon her lily throat
Set wistful fancy dreaming
With every haunting note.
1t was no idle ballad,
No senseless modern lay;
With "Bonnie Annie Laurie" 10,
She sang my heart away.
And when the song was over
And Katie breathed u sigh,
She, too, could boast lover
Who would lay him down and die.
Twas then l told my secret,
And still bless the day
When Katie tuned the old guitar
And sang my heart away.

Baffled, but bravely, like stag at bay,
She faced the driving gale and angry sea
Under short canvas, and with helm alec,
Hove to, upon the starboard tack, she lay
And looked into the wind S wild eyes that day,
Over the great green rolling pillows she
Rode like storm bird and did seem to be
mist born phantom rising from the spray.
Her tightened weather shrouds rang like a
Tyre,
Swept by the furious storm king as he passed; !;
Wild ocean wraiths walled in the laundering
choir,
A thousand demons shrieked in every blast !:
Yet, better far to battle with the gale
Than drift DER CLASSY seas with listless sail.
