We rode into the yard of the inn--a
large place, seeming larger in the dusk
so. tired that we could scarcely slip
from our saddles. Jean, our servant,
took the four horses, and led them
across to the stables. the poor beasts
hanging their heads and following
meekly. We stood moment stamp

The place seemed in u hustle. the clGt-

the windows over the entrance, with q
glow OF light and the sound Of feet hur-
rying in the passages There were
men, too, half dozen or so, standing
at the door of the stables, while others
leaned from the windows. One or two
lanthorns just lindled glimmered here
and there in the semi-darkness, and in
a corner two smiths were shoeing a
horse.
We were turning from all this to go

walked across to the stables near which
he and the horses were still lingering.
"Well, what is it?" / said, sharply.
"They say that there is no room for
the horses" Jean answered, querulous-
ly, scratching his head; half sullen,
half cowed, country servant all over.
"And there is not!" cried the fore

was insolent, and it needed but half an

ground beside him throwing an uncer-

all wore the same badge.
"Come," / said, sternly, "thc stables

Tho Revenge of a Donkey That Had

One morning, while in Rome, |
walked out of the city with friend
writes Rev. George +. Hasliins. After
walk OF several hours we called at an
inn for refreshment. AS we neared
the ever open door of the hostelry, our
attention was arrested by the ap.
proach, from another direction, Of u
tall, stout, mit!dle.aged woman, and by
her side two large, moving pannicrs
filled to the very top with
eggs. From these panniers, II
you looked up, you saw two
very long ears; if you looked down
you saw four small legs, and between
the panniers was the head c: an ami

heavy burden.
The woman was in great haste to
reach the city; hut the donkey was il,
no haste at all. On some previous oc
.casion he had very likely been fed al
the inn. and he stopped there now
probably in the hope of getting some
thing to eat. Nor would he bulge q
foot.
The woman was armed with stout
stick about three feet long. With that
she began Delaying the poor donkey
shouting at him meantime. Then sht
went behind and strove to push him OF
by main strength, putting her shoul

the beating and the shouting. All il
vain.

LovER.s LANE.


Eyes OF blue-the glance that thrills,
Whisperings of the old, old tale,
Moonlight silv'ring distant hills
With its dreamy, fllriy vail;
Down the path our slow feet trend,
Our shadows with the naples blend.
In our hearts the same refrain,
AS we roam through lovers lane.
Lovers lane is lined with trees,
Stately naples, elm and oak,
And the network of their leaves
Ger the pathway spreads cloak;
But now and then truant ray
OF saucy moonlight finds its way
Into the bower of Cuplds gain,
And sees strange things in lovers lane.
In quaint old town a maid knew,
An artle5s, falr-haired maid was she;
BY those coral lips and those eyes of blue,
Sweet was the spell she cast DER me;
In the dreamy nights Of summer weather
Roamed we through the lane together,
Hearts throbbing fondly the ole refrain,
TO the songs of the thrushes In lovers
lane.
Sweet those days Of the long ago
When we strayed through the leafy
aisle,
Our hearts as light as the wanton flow
OF tine music of blrds-without guile.
Twas long ago; but the eyes Of blue,
And the sil!ien hair, soft as the dew,
Are as sweet to-day as when we twain
Roamcd together IN lovers iane.

The Muscatine Commercial club
has insured to that city . theatre
which will be one Of the most mod
ern and beautiful in the Mississippi
valley. Recently the Columbia the
atre a Musca:ine was destroyed by
fire. and there were people there who
oewailed its loss as depriving the
city OF a popular play honse which
would not be replaced for years TO
come. But just then the CONNER
cial club stepped in and demon
ststed that it had q work to do 10
Muscatiue. It took the matter up
with the result that the destruction
Of the old Columbia is to prove Q
blessing in disguise. The Hntel
Best, formerly the Hotel Web
ster. is to be . theatre. The pro-
prietor Of the building, which has
a splendid metropolitan front and 10
comparatively new, has with the
cooperation Of the commercial body.
decided to tear out the inside and
convert it into q thoroughly first
class theatre. The plans have been
adopted and the work of renovation
will begin in q few days.
Chance for Rock Island.
What Muscatine's commercial
body has done for that city the new
Rock Island Club may do for this
city. There may be no buildings
here to be transformed into q thea
tire, for il Rock Island is to have o
new opera house. it wants one built
from the ground floor up. but for years
it has been generally admitted that q
new modern ground floor theatre
properly located would pay here.
II could be made q success without
antagonizing Harper's theatre. rs Q
different class Of attractions could be
presented at each.
A few years ago THE ARGOS pre-.
sented an interview one night with
an enterprisiDg citizen in which he
urged the necessity Of q new court
house. and first class central dept
in Rock Island. The suggestion met
with popular favor. and while there
were many who rejoiced at the very
suggestion, there were few who seri-
ously anticipated that the desire in
either instance would be soon real
lied. Yet people sometimes build
better than they know. Nothing
succeeds without effort, and We cam
not always tell what an effort will
do. The people Of Rock Island made
an effort to accomplish what was 80
much sought at that time. The new
court house is nearly completed.
The ground for the depot has been
bought on the very site suggested in
that interview. By the time the PEG.
pie become accustomed to the new
