INJURED INNOCENCE.

Frederick Lemaitre, the well-known
actor, was afflicted with an abnormal
tendency to pride and self-esteem, even
for a man of his profession. His des-
pOtic bearing toward the employees at
the theaters often led to an exchange
of angry words At the fiftieth per-
Torrance of a play he would expect the
musicians to exhibit the same eager
ness to hear him as on the first night.
He expressly forbade them to read
their papers in the orchestra during
the intervals of playing, as had been
their custom from time immemorial.
Frederick pretended that the practice
''interfered with his play"
Now, the leading clariOnet at one
of the houses obstinately refused to
submit to a prohibition which he con-
sidered no actor had the right to en-
force, and went on reading as usual.
Frederick protested swore, raVed, and
asked the name of the recalcitrant
clarionet player Just at that moment
the musician passed through the green
room.
"Is that you" ried Frederick, in
angry tones, who have had the auda-.
city to read in the orchestra during my
great love scene?'
'T?" said the clarionet. What a
foul SANDER! You have been m1sln-
formed, M. Frederick was asleep!'-

TWO BOYISH WARRIORS.

It was only little shepherd boy,
YOU will remember, who delivered the
Is1aelites from the hards of the Phil
istines. and saved his nation in time
of serious peril. The youth David went
out alone and almost empty handed,
when all the warriors of the army were
afraid. and he slew the great giant
Goliath of Gath, whose height, the
Bible tells us, was six cubits and
span. This boy was a born fighter, for,
before he slew the giant, he had killed
a bear and a lion, when they tried TO
steal his fathers sheep.
But in later times, as well, there
have been several young warriors who
made great names for themselves, SUCH
for instance, as Alexander, who won
the battle of the Ceranicus at twenty
two years of age. The great Napoleon
was a lieutenant of artillery before he
was eighteen, and young man Wnen
he commanded the armies of Italy.
Think of it!-at the age when our West
Point cadets are graduated, this young
Corsican had held an important COM
mand in the French armies, winning
victories and laying the foundation or
the most famous military career the
world has ever seen.-Arthur Hoeber,
in June St. Nicholas.

CRUSHING A PARIS DUDE.

Late issues of the Paris contain a
story of how a cooI-headed American
beauty Inundated a French masher
| The lady arrived on foot at the Quai
masher. He fixed his Loving eyes upon
aux Fleurs on market day; so did the
! her. She paid no attention to him.
He persisted, and vainly endeavored to
engage her in conversation. Finally
she purchased two big geraniums.
do you live far from here, madam ?"
asked the dude.
The lady made no answer at first,
but after an instant's reflection,
prompted by the size of the geranium
pots and plants and the necessity of
employing a commissaire, she replied
sweetly, Rue du Louvre, 49,"
"Ohw exclaimed the maeher, you
cannot carry such burden so far!
Allow me to help you
The masher put pot under each
arm, and, equipped in that way, went
with the lady. When they came to the
Rue du Louvre, SO, she stopped,
thanked the dude, and stretched out
her beautiful little hands for the flow
er pots.
But the masher politely insisted upon
carrying them up to her apartments.
THE trouble is" said the lady, 81
live on the top floor and there is no
elevator"
II would not be surprised if you told
me that you lived way up in heaven.
Angels live there" said the enthusiast
tic masher.
We'll, come then" said the lady, in
/ the golden tones in which the divine
Sarah in cleopatra" addresses her
Tony
So up they went until they came to
the abode of the sorceress. She rang
the bell. Heavy footsteps were heard
inside. The door was opened and a
fine-looking man appeared.
Allow me to introduce you to my
husband, SIR said the lady. My
DEAR she added, addressing her in
ferior portion, this gentleman has
been kind enough to carry these plants
for me all the way from the flower
n arket and up the stairs, too, as you
see"
Good enough" said the big fellow.
Here my man, here is twenty-cent
piece Go and get a drinkr'
The dude started down the stairs at
a lively rate, without waiting for his
l.,
he could hear the ringing laugh of the
lady and the hoarse cha! har' of the
{ happy husband.

WEATHER DECEIVES BIRDS.
Have Their Domestic Arrangements
Upset by Snowstorms.

Even the birds have been deceived
this year by the eccentricities of the
weather. Generally the appearance of
the robins from their southern winter
ing places is a sure indication that
there will be no more cold This
spring, however, the first robins put in
an appearance at Central Park about
the LIST of April and they came in I'M
precedentedly large numbers. They
were prepared to build their nests and
raise their families. Straightway they
set about collecting twigs and straws,
bits of paper, etc, but three snow
storms interrupted them. The robins
are hardy birds They winter in the
southern states, some far north as Ken
lucky and Tennessee, where they find
blackberries, haws and wild persim-
mons in abundance.
The winters there are sometimes
severe, but the birds never venture
north to begin building until they are
sure the spring has come. Probably
this year they were deceived by the
unusual miIdness OF the early spring
in that section. But they were not the
only birds fooled. The blackb birds and
the bluebirds, less hardy than the
robins, also got here in time to sec
three snowStOrms and several heavy
frOsts. Their summer plans were all
upset, and, instead of pairing off, as
they usually do, Immediately upon
their arrival, they can still be found
in small flocks hustling for subsistence.
Even the astute bluejay, who winters
in New York, had commenced to build.
The robins are becoming more nu-
merous in New York state than ever
before. This is attributed to the pro-
lection of the law, which has placed
them in the category of song birds and
made it a punishable offense to kill
them. They seem to appreciate the
change and build in the trees about
the farms. Hundreds have become so
domestic that they make Central Park
their home. They are almost as tame
as barnyard fowls, and children who
frequent the park feed them as they
feed the squirrels. In the fall, how
ever, when they assemble for their
southern migration, they become wild
again, and it is difficult to approach
within gunshot range of them.-New
York Sun.

SHE GRASPED ONE POINT.

Chicago minister recently preached
a sermon on Gods tender wisdom in
caring for all, and illustrated his point
by saying that He knows which Of us
grows best in the sunlight, and which
must have shade. You know you
plant roses in the sunshine" he said,
land heliotrope and geraniums, but
if you want your fuchsias to grow, you
must keep them in shady nook"
After the sermon a woman came up to
him, her face glowing with pleasure.
ooh, doctor, am so grateful for that
sermon" she said, clasping his hand
and shaking it warmly. His heart
glowed for moment-only for a mo-
ment, though. Yes" she went on
fervently, Il never knew before what
was the matter with my fuchsias."

There was one act Tuesday by Mr.
Mckinley which stamped him as a
plain American citizen. 1t shows the
difference in a forcible way between a
prominent man here and one of the
same kind in foreign land This
was the part Major Mckinley took in
the funeral of an old-time friend and
reighbor. He was selected by the rela-
tIves of Julius Whiting, ST., to act as
a pallbearer at the latter's funeral.
Shoulder to shoulder with other Can
tonians Ex-Governor Mckinley walked
from the house of the deceased to the
funeral car, helping to bear the corpse
of a departed neighbor. Mr.. Whiting
was so years of age and lived just
across the street from the residence of
Major Mckinley.

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
Mr.. Coyne, manager of the First
Regiment Baseball Club, evident
ly has the idea that the cup won
by the champion Stars ought to
be in his possession. He further
assumes that his team is so very
much superior to all other clubs
here, champion Stars included,
that he feels justified in publish
ing a challenge to the Stars; adj
ding, too, that he will give them
the privilege of getting any out
side assistance necessary, barring
of course members of his nine.
He even goes so far as to assert
that, for the good of baseball and
the sport of the game, the two
teams would be more equal it the
Stars are allowed to pick whom
(what outside assistance) they
need.
The Stars by fair and honest
effort won the championship OF
the 1896 season and have always
been pleased to acknowledge the
defeat they received from Mr..
Coyne's team; but not to make
excuses forit. 1t would have made
a very fiat season indeed if the
Stars had not allowed at least one
club, even if it we're the First
Regiment" to get one or two
games. Let Mr.. Coyne send in
challenge to the Stars manage
ment without any of the accom-
panying braggadocio and the
Stars, without any outside assis
lance, will not be found wanting,
Yours truly,
TwINKLER.

CONTAINING TWO STO-
RlES AND ONE
MORAL.

A New England Congress
man recently sent one OF his
constituents package of flow
err seeds for the latter'S wife,
and received a genuine Yankee
acknowledgment. The latter
thanked the member for the
flower seeds so kindly sent,
Including sweet peas and
other varieties of long, unpro-
nounceable, unintelligible, ro-
mantle names. We have plant
ed the Seeds" the letter con-
tinued, "and if they grow we
will use the names to train the
vines on"
In the same connection one
tells at the capitol of a visitor
to a committee = room who
found a CongreSsman'S clerks
busily directing seed packages.
what are you doing?' the
visitor asked.
Sending out garden Seeds"
was the answer.
Seeds ?" said the other.
"This late in the season you
ought to be sending out vege-
tables"
You may think it hard to
find the moral to the above
stories but we know better. 1t
is concealed in the oven of one
of our lately imported
MODEL ST. CLAIR WOOD
STOVES.
You buy the stove and we
throw. in the moral. These
model St. Glars are. truly
model" for they are perfect.
They have every convenience,
including spacious oven, and
in addition a commodious hot
water tank situated at the back
of the stove. A Six-hole cook
ing surface is sufficient to do
the cooking of a large family
and these stoves are built for
that purpose. They are solid
and substantial, are tastefully
ornamented and sell for 5000.
Should you prefer a range
we can recommend the Col
den Anvil as the best made.
These are built of steel through
out and burn either wood or
coal. We have them in two
sizes, $50 and sos.
You may need a handy Ian
tern for the barn. We have
them with glass oil containers
instead of tin. They are much
heater, cleaner and nicer than
the old style and your fingers
won't smell of Kerosene after
handling them. They only cost
a dollar.
