THE TROUT BROOK.

Half hidden by tall meadow grass, that
sways with every breeze,
And running through deep, silent pools
and under spreading troes;
Now stealing through the quiet ways OF
solitary wood,
And now beneath timbered arch, where
once an old mill stood;
Across the fields and to the brow where
waters dance and play,
And now and then as though in joy OF
such delightful fun,
1t springs into waterfall that glstens in
the sun,
And eddies round and round about IN
strange fantastic glee.
Then steadies down and flows away Sc
dately to the sea.

THE SAFEST PLACE.
(From Harper's Round Table)

General Lee used to tell a story about a
darky that served in the war II seems
during the heat of the battle the general
and his attendants were posted on a small
knoll watching the course of the action.
They deserted a colored soldier racing
toward them, lcaping over obstacles in his
path. his face blanched with fear, He
rushed up, and fell headlong on the
ground In front of Lee, crying,
"Oh, massa General let me stay here"
Lee saw at once that the man was al
most frightened to death. and useless as q
soldier. 1t disguised him somewhat, but
his curiosity was aroused and he asked
did you come here to get out of the
way of the bullets?"

de safest place on de field"

Samples.

Careful inquiry at the leading dry
goods stores in this city shows that but
few Of them give samples indiscrimi-
nately nowadays. All Of them prefer to
send samples by mail The average Gus
toner who asks for samples is requested
to leave her name and address and the
goods will be forwarded to her. This is
especially the case if she wants what is
called cline Of samples''-that is,
pattern upon pattern Of the same style
and species. Every big shop employs its
ffties Of persons whose duty it is to at
tend to nothing save the cutting and
sending Of samples "We never spend
less than $4,000 year in goods to be
cut up for samples, :" said the mail de-
partment manager Of one firm, "and
sometimes the sum is much larger" It
is generally understood among dry goods
houses that ali samples sent are to be
returned. Of course dressmakers are al
ways favored with samples, which they
are not requested to return nor pass
along to their next door ieighbor. They
are privileged because remunerative

sample line is due to the crazy quilt
fad, which cost many merchants lot
