LOyE-HAUNTED.

81 can forget him in the woods she said
Oh, foolish maid
And thither went she;
But in her thoughts she met him every
The very air
Breathed tender words that he had spoken
to her,
The young leaves stroked her cheek and
seemed to WOO her,
And call her Talr,
His name alone the fitting wild birds sang.
His name alone the nodding flower-bells
rang:
"Ah, no, not here can | forget, = she said
Love-haunted maid.
ssPerchance, she said, 'the rush of the
great town
Love-thoughts will drown"
And there she HE'D her.
But in the clangor of the thrOnged street
The many feet
Seemed treading to measure soft and low,
That he had sung to her not long ago,
And clear and SWEET
From Steepled bells rang out the old re-
81 love thee, Love"-again, and still again
81 shall go mad with loving here" she
Oh, wretched maid!
"Haply," she moaned, 'sat home | may find
And calm surcease
Of tOrtuouS thoughts"
But mid the gardens subtle fragranceS,
Meath evening skies,
Her heart grew sore with yearnlng and re-
greet.
.sAlas,'' she said 81 never can forget.
Ny fierce pride dies.
All that earth offers would gladly give
To be his own. For him alone I live
'As / for thee,'' his voice beside her said.
Oh, 1ove-blessed maid!

MOLES USED TO SEE.
Baby Specimens of the European Species
Have One Kind of Eyes,

The baby mole of the European spe-
cies has eyes connected by the optic
nerves, with the seeing part of the brain.
Later in it's life the connection is cut off.
This means that the ancestors of the
moles of today were not blind Some
crustaceans have external eyes, though
the optic ganglion is aborted. OF course
they are blind. These crustaceans are
found in caves and in the depths of the
ocean, where there is no light. One
species sometimes deyelopes a seeing eye,
and sometimes does not. Certain fishes
can see when they are young, but are
blind when adult, a membrane growing
over the eyes.
All birds are descended from reptiles,
and are so slightly modified that anatomi-
cally speaking bird is only to be dis
tinguished from a reptile by the posses
sion of feathers. Yet feathers and scales
are the same things differently modified.
The oldest bird that has ever been found
fossil is the archaeopteryx, which was
half lizard, one might say. 1t was about
the size of a big pigeon. A bird called
the ''hoatzin," recently discovered in
South Africa, has claws on it's wings
and climbs before it learns to fly. It is
declared bird only because it has feath-
ers. Flying does not constitute a bird;
there were flying reptiles in the Mesozoic
epoch that flew as well as any birds
some of them as big as turkeys.-New
York Morning Journal.

The Pumpkin Pie INDICATED.

The trouble is not in the pumpkin pies
of today. They are compiled with even
more skill than those of our grandmoth-
ers, for the pumpkin pie has kept step
change has been wrought not in the pie,
but in those who sit in the cleaning
weeping for the good old pies that are
gone. We remember our grandmothers'
pumpkin pies because then we had not
picked our stomachs with whisky and
filled our systems with tobacco and brok-
en- down our health with all sorts of ex-
cesses, and we didn't have dyspepsia
until we had to sit up nights and nurse
it and drink gallons and gallons of sar-
saparilla Green apples and sour goose

AS they neared Williamsbridge a rider

$4,000 FOR A POSTAGE STAMP.
An Eastern Collectors Purchase from
st. Louis Firm.


w. A. Castle, doing business in New
York and residing in Springfield, Mass,
has paid $500 for a postage stamp. 1t
is the largest price recorded that a stamp
has brought. In the language of philatel-
lists, the stamp is known as a ''10-cent
provisional Baltimore. The only other
1O-cent Baltimore provisional is a poor
specimen, printed on blush paper and
partially obliterated. 1t is held by it's
owner at $4,000. Mr.. Castles stamp is a
perfect specimen of another series
printed on white paper. 1t is still affixed
to the envelope on which it was original
ly pasted. Philatelists are not surprised
at the price.
The stamp may fetch more at succeed
ing sales. Mr. Castle in talking about
it in his Office said; 7 paid $4,000 for
the stamp to Mekeel & Co. of ST. Louis,
Mo- There is no doubt about it's authen-

Our Partisan sisters possess the happy

would we direct our readers, and also

In all your associations keep constant

breeds contempt"
Never be guilty of practical jokes. If
you accustom yourself to them it is prob
able you will become so habituated as to
commit them upon persons who will not
allow of such liberties. | have known
duel to arise from a slap on the back.
If there be another chair in the room
do not offer a lady that from which you
have just risen.
Never converse while a person is sing
ing. 1t is an insult not only to the singer
but to the company.
The essential part of good breeding is
the practical desire to afford pleasure
and to avoid giving pain. Any man pos
sessing this desire requires only oppor-
tunity and observation to make him
gentleman.
Always take off your hat when hand
ing a lady to her carriage or a box of a
theater or public room.
If in a public promenade you pass and
repass persons of your acquaintance 1t
is only necessary to salute them on the
first occasion.
Do not affect singularity of dress by
wearing anything that is so conspicuous
as to demand attention.
particularly avoid the exhibition of anx-
iety or vexation at want of success. If
YOU are playing whist, not only keep
your temper but hold your tongue. Any
intimation to your partner is decidedly I'M
gentlemanly.
Let presents to lady be character
lied by taste, not remarkable for intrinsic
value.
Except under very decided circum-
stances it is both ungentlemanly and dan
gerous TO cut a person. If you wish to
rid yourself of anyone's society cold
bow in the street and particular cere-
mony in the circles of your mutual ac-
quaintances is the best mode of conduct
to adopt.
Never introduce your own affairs for
the amusement of company 1t shows
sad want of mental cultivation or eX-
cessive weakness OF intellect. Recollect,

A COFFEE VEIN.
Dishonest Employees Had Filled FIue
with the Brown Berries.

Dishonest Employees Had Filled a FIue
with the Brown Berries.
One or more employees of a wholesale
grocery house in Terre Haute, Ind, were
so DESTROYS of getting bicycles that they
opened not less than 500 packages of
coffee to get the coupons, for certain
number of which the manufacturers give
a bicycle When a change was made
in the wall of the building on the ground
floor, it was found necessary to remove
some bricks from the flue At once
there flowed from the aperture thus
made a torrent of the brown berries.
The workman thought he had got into
the wrong place, but his surprise was ex-
ceeded by that of the clerks.
1t was found that the fue from the
third floor to the basement was full of
coffee. Another fue was opened and it,
too, was full of the loose coffee. The
fues are not used because the house is
heated by steam. Investigation devel-
oped the fact that someone had been
opening the packages of coffee, taking
out the coupons, and throwing the coffee
into the fue at the third floor, which is
the floor on which the coffee department
is located. For some time the foreman
of the department has been reporting
that he could not make his coffee stock
balance with his account, but he could
not imagine how the shortage occurred.
One of the employees was discharged
after the discovery was made.

L. D. Gordon of Jefferson City, Mo-,
found the body of a big black snake in a
rock quarry near town this morning.
About half way down the reptiles neck
he noticed an abnormal protuberance,
and an investigation revealed the fact
that it was a porcelain egg, such as are
used to place in hen nests. The snake
had evidently been on prospecting tour
about some barnyard and carried off the
fake egg He attempted to swallow it,
down after it had started down his
throat, came to his death by suffocation.
The snake was over five feet in length
and heavy in proportion.

All on Wheels.

Along the Riviera this winter there has
been a vast amount of bicycling. There
have been a number of accidents also,
particularly among the English riders.
for the reason that on the continent when
riding and driving you turn to the right
instead of, as in England, to the left,
The result was that many English men
and women have collided with cabbies
and other Jehus with results melancholy
to themselves. In most of the hotels
along the Riviera, such has been the
bicycle craze that the managers nave
provided accommodations for the ma
chimes and their care and cleaning. In
many of the hotels there were over 100
machines stabbed at a time.
Sir Julian Goldsmith, who left about
ST 100000 to his daughters, has done so
on the footing that if any of them mar
ries 2 Gentle her share is to be reduced

"HORsE-sHEDDING" A MAN.
Singular Origin of the Phrase in Pioneer
Ohio Times.

Singular Origin of the Phrase in Pioneer
Ohio Times.
Gen. Grosvenor has given the Wash
ington Post the origin of the phrase,
''horse-shedding a man. He says:
In days gone by the Ohio courts held
sessions at different county seats at GER
tain periods known as court terms. TO
accommodate the large crowds of liti-
giants and witnesses who would flock in
from points for miles around the county
seat when court was in session, the coun-
ty authorities erected sheds near the
courthouse, where the litigants and their
witnesses could tie and feed their horses
while they attended court, and these
sheds became known as horse sheds.
Now, owing to the limited space of the
courtrooms, the lawyers, who always
travelled with the court, were unable to
hold a private consultation with their
clients and witnesses inside the walls,
and so they used to. take them under the
horse sheds and there talk matters over
with them.
among the attorneys who attended
court at the county seat of Meigs coun-
ty, on one occasion, was Tom Ewing and
Samuel F. Vinton The court was ready
to go on with the case in which the two
noted attorneys were retained as oppos-
ing counsel. when it was discovered that
Vinton was not present The court
looked carefully around and then asked:
Where is Mr.. Vinton?'
= l don't know, your honor" said EW-
ing, rising to his feet; he is not here,
but he is probably outside horse-shedding
his Witnesses
THE remark raised a general laugh,
and thereafter the word horse-shedding
a witness passed into popular parlance."
