Boys Lies.

1t has remained for an English judge
to officially and legally establish the
ruling that lying is not wrong, at least
it is not sufficiently immoral to justify
an employer in dismissing a servant.
An east end %shopkeeper discharged his

fed himself by saying that he found
that the boy told lies

Playthings.

The streets are full of human toys,
Wound up for threescore years;
Their springs are h~ungcrs, hopes and joys,
And jealousies and fears.
They move their eyes, their lips, their hands
They are marvclously dressed.
And here my body stirs or stands,
A plaything like the rest.
The toys are played with till they fall,
Worn cut and thrown awa~.
Why were they ever made at all?
Who sits to watch the play?

was undergoing his second term Of i'm
prisonmcnt for forgery. The completion
of the work occupied him for nearly six
months and was effected under great
disadvantages. In place Of a table, for
Instance, he had to pin his paper to the
wall of his cell, moving it round with
the sun i'll order to obtain the best light.
The prison authorities consider this
marvellous specimen of architectural

A HAWK THAT HERDS COWS.
An Educated Bird That Is Wonder IL
Iis Way.

Two miles north Of the little town of
Oxford, in Orange county, N. Y, james
Cloyd owns farm which borders on the
road TO Bloomington Grove. He is the
owner of what is probably the most re-
markable hawk in the world.
This hawk brings home herd of 20
COWS every evening and gathers in the
stragglers and keeps the herd together
even more effectually than Hiram Cloyd,
the son of the farmer, used to do. Hi
ram had killed the parent hawk, which
had been stealing chickens and took
this one from the nest. As it grew up
he made pet Of it and took it with
him every evening when he went out to
bring the cows in.
One day Hiram cut his foot so that he
could not walk. His father was absent
and when o'clock came and went
without Hiram putting in an appear
ance, Abe, the pet hawk, flew out OF the
barn and away. In half an hour or so
Mrs. Cloyd heard a noise like cows
moving together along the road, and ON
looking out of the window saw the
whole herd coming along apparently
alone. She ran out to the gate to find
out what was the matter, and on near
ing the fence to take down the bars she
saw Abe perched ON the horn of the last
COW, surveying the scene with apparent
satisfaction When u cow Jagged or loi-
tered by the wayside, the hawk flew at
it fiercely, making it quicken its move
ments to keep from being struck by its
great wings. He then went back to his
curious perch, from which he watched
for stragglers
After that day Abe always brought
the cows in, starting punctually at D
O'Clock ON his task, and generally round
ing them up inside Of half an hour.
Since the story Of the hawks accom-
plishment has become known many peo-
pie have visited the farm to see the per-

The 75-yard race between Benjamin e..
Ansel, alias Fisher OF Topeka, Kansas,
the professional who defeated Frank
James on July 4, and Simpson, OF Iron
Mountain, at the Driving park was won
by the latter. though it was evident to
all who saw it that the race was not run
on its merits. Ansel had to stumble sew
eral feet at the start to make reason
able excuse for not winning. The two are
on trip together to rake in what loose
change they can find and their route is
now in the direction OF st. Paul. They
came, or were brought, here, thinking n
good thing might be made out OF the ad-
mirers OF James, but that gentleman pre-
vented the consumation OF the plans by
refusing to race with Ansel and leaving it
undecided to the last minute whether or
not he would run on July 4.

And bushes its din and its humming,

For as sure as fate he's coming.
His popular pecan may be plebeian.
But it's comforting. III be bound
And /, for my part. grow glad at heart
When the organ man comes round
Oh, you who have diamonds ami silks galore.
Who coldly listen TO Bach and Spohr.
Whose balls are danced on a waxen floor,
Whose laughter rings so false
Far more than you In your puffs and pearls
I envy the poor little gutter girls
Who dance in the street with bobbing curls
While tho organ plays waltz.
I'm FREQ to confess that think far less
OF those German opera things
Than do Of the strong and rollicking song
That the care free street boy sings.
You call il waste OF time. this taste
For popular tunes, and ye:
Goodby to care when you whistle the air
OF the song that you can't forget.
You have heard the De Reszkes and Calve sing.
But it's little you know Of the hearty swing
That turks in the music the organs bring
And it's charming jingly sound.
So, on the whole. I'm content that you're
Rich and unhappy while am poor.
For have one Joy that IL pure and sure
When an organ man comes round.

and his friend Simpson, made their de-
parture on the Peerless last evening,
going up the lake in search OF pastures

Fisher came out and did little sprint
along the promenade deck for the edifica-

THE BLACK CASTLE.
A Stronghold and Palace Erected by King
Herod In Judea.

waveless waters of the Dead sea there
is a wild and gloomy land OF mountain

try, Herod had constructed over the
ruins of q former fort the stronghold
and palace of Macherus, or 1.-THE Black
Castle" A town had grown up near by,
with heather temples, a theater and
places of trade and manufacture. The
palace had been made so splendid that
Herod preferred it as residence, es-
pecially as it was close to the frontier Of
Judea, and as from it he could readily

least he could do whatever he pleased,
and all prisoners were at his mercy.

long time therefore the baptizer was
in comparative ignorance Of what might
be going on i'll the great world beyond
the castle walls. Its kings might come
or go, its kingdoms might rise or fall,
its cities might prosper or perish, and no
news of all could penetrate the solid

that she lacked no nerve, and had lost
none by reason of the accident attending
her balloon ascension on July 4. The
ascension saturday evening was entirely
successful and was witnessed by an i'm
mense crowd The balloon rose slowly
and driited right out across Portage
Lake. Miss DeVere waited for her de-
scent until over the land on the opposite
side, and made a graceful drop, landing
in the woods above the Highland smelt-
ing works. A tug went across and con-
veyed her to Houghton. Houghton has
now been favored with three balloon as

The scheme to have detachable collars
with shirt waists is very happy
thought of somebody, and the quick
popularity of this style of waist attests
its general favor One waist will easily
retain its freshness to wear through two
collars, now that the shirt waist Is
such only in name and does not neces-

be worn with linen collars-white lin
