When the shades of night began to fall
Hiram looked often in the direction of
the south chamber window in the Whit
ney house, and his hopes slowly ebbed
away as all remained dark and gloomy.
Just as he called himself q dolt and idiot
for thinking about marrying at his time
of life, there shone forth a light in the
window.
He hastily donned hat and overeoat,
and, under cover of the darkness, STROBE
bravely by Mrs. Clayton's door and soon
was admitted to the Whitney house by
the niece, Ruthie, who had been expect
ing him. When be inquired for her aunt,
she said:
"She's out in the kitchen, but you can
go right out there, if you wish"
He found Ruth busy whittling some
kindling for the morning fire, and, before
i, she realized that he was there, he clasped
her in his arms and imprinted a kiss on
her lips.
what do you mean ?" Indignantly
asked Ruth.
His bashfulness had left him, and be
exclaimed with a jolly laugh:
"Mean? l mean to have you set the
day, and don't you put it off very long,
either! We ought to have been married
years ago, and now, the sooner we're
married, the better it will suit me-"
Half an hour after, Ruthie went into
the kitchen, and Hiram proudly an
nounced their engagement, adding:
"It's no secret. Tell everyone you
see."
The news spread; before the next night
every man, woman and child knew it, and
when Mrs. Hathaway called at Mrs.
Clayton's to tell the news, Mrs. Dash
was not in the least surprised. She knew
it was reported that she herself as going
to marry him; but she had never said SO,
and was not to blame for other peoples
yarns. Then she slyly limited hat Hiram
would marry Ruth because she had re-
fused him, and he thought to spite her in
that way.
One day Ruthie told Hiram about the
letter. AS he had no further use for IT.,
he dropped it into the stove, and Aunt
Ruth was none the wiser, and, as Ruthie
wears a nice little gold watch, a gift from
Hiram, Aunt Ruth will probably never
know but what Hiram asked her like a
man.
One day in early spring they we're mar

on the stage-coach for their bridal tour
Aunt Sabrina went back to Hiram's
house, which would h%enceforth be her
home. She removed her bonnet and

Hiram's gift, and then said to Dan:

Repairing Tire Punctures.

Some American bicycle riders do not
know that European riders long ago dis
carded all but double-tube pneumatic
bicycle tires. This was done after years
of experience with single tube tires, DUR
ing which time every known remedy was
tried to permanently repair q pnncture,
but without avail. 10 this country, the
Morgan & Wright double .tube) tire
being patented, other tire makers have
tried to force single tube tires into favor,
Notwithstanding their proved failure in
Europe. Many schemes have been en-.
ployed by the single. tube MAKERS to stop
leaks and permanently repair punotures,
but without success.
A repair in the Morgan & Wright
double'tube tire is easy to make, and is
permanent. Inside the inner tube, al
the way around, is a thin strip of patch.
ing rubber. To make a repair, pump III
the tire; then inject some quick repair
cement inside the inner tube. By
pressing down on the casing with tht
thumb at the puncture this cement will
pick up the patching strip and close the
puncture.

1t would be interesting to trace many
of the SO called caprices of fashion to
their real source. Many, as is well
known, aye of historic origin and re-
celved their Inspiration in the whim of
some royal or other distinguished per-
Bonage. The introduction of the sepa-
rate collar shirt waist, which has and is
enjoying a great vogue, was, it is said,
due in the first place to the laziness of
a cutter in u of the fashionable tailor
shops where ladies' waists are made.
He suggested and advocated the style to
save work, it was discreetly talked up
by the head saleswomen, who received
the customers, and the thing was done
well done, too, most women will testify.

LEZE MAJESTY.
.ow a Subject of the King of Belgium
Played 1t.

.Ow a Subject of the King of Belgium
Played 1t.
1t is a curious reflection that men
who'will face death with impunity are
yet absolutely aghast with fear when
brought into the presence Of the great
n of the earth. "Such great divinity
doth hedge a king" that few men would
venture to assert their independence or
the right Of their manhood if a sover-
eign's view were opposed to theirs.
This is, no doubt, an inheritance
from the days of feudalism, when the
monarch was indeed the liege lord of
all the people. Among the few, how
ever, whose names have come down to
an admiring posterity because they had
the stamina to rely on their own rights
and assert their own desires must be
mentioned the name Of NJ. Vanden-
driesche, a subject of the king of Bel
GUM.
Some time ago he saw a piece Of
ground at Ostend the position of which
pleased him. AS luck had it, it CHANGED
to be directly in front of the kings vii
la. This fact, we may be sure, did not
make it less desirable in the gentleman's
eyes. He called in the aid of architects
and builders and proceeded to erect q
house on it after his own heart. Unfor-
tunately, however, his majesty looked
out of the windows of his villa one day
and found that his subjects home, if it
had not emulated Aladdin's and sprung
up in q night, at all events interfered
with his view, as did that miraculous
structure with the view of the other
sovereign.
The king naturally demonstrated at
this want of consideration in a subject,
and, no doubt, expected that the remon-
STRANGE would have good effect. So, in
deed, it seemed, for NJ. Vandendriesche
engaged a number Of workmen, who
proceeded to pull down the edifce, which
had only recently been finished.
Alas for the credulity of the human
mind, even when that mind belongs to
ii ~potentate of the earth! As soon as the
foundations Of the building had been
RACED to the ground, and the king, no
doubt, congratulated himself on that
uninterrupted view Of the country which
he had had before, he was startled to
find that an increased army of builders
arrived to augment the number of those
who had been employed.
Oddly enough also. a huge quantity
Of bricks and mortar appeared on the
scene. These bricks the masons began
to use in the most -unaccountable man
ner possible, piling them one on top Of
the other with mortar between. 1t look
ed as if they were building q wall.
They were. Slowly, as is the manner of
masons in every country of the world,
the wall grew by inches. Instead Of q
villa a IL story %ireproof building was
erected, which effectually prevented his
majesty from seeing the country which
lies on the other side of the property of
his recalcitrant subject.-San Francisco

HAPPY ACCIDENTS"
BY S. E. KIsER.

How many of us are there who
Work on from day to day,
Performing tasks we have to do
In a careless sort of way
Who would not grumble, NOPE and sigh
And harbor discomfort,
Did we not hope to profit by
"some happy accident?"
Yon teamster, driving down the road,
Whistling as he goes,
Swapping the graceful, plated goad
Beside his horses nose,
Might be a soul misanthrope
But for the eyer-present hope
Within his bosom pent,
That some day he will have his due.
That fate will stop to reach him through
Some happy accident"
The miner in his gloomy cell,
The weary fingered clerk,
They that in wretched novels dwell.
And only live to work.
They, too, hope on from day to law.
And, hoping, stumble by the way.
Each drowning discomfort
With deathless faith in that pale ghost
Which man has ever prayed for most,
"Some happy accident"
Alas, how many men have died
In want, depair and doubt
Because they drifted with the tide,
Instead of branching out
Go forth, o brother, challenge Fate!
God surely never meant
That man should Just work and await
'some happy accident"

MUSIC AND HI HAIR.
The Effect OF Vibrations Upon the Cover
ing OF the Head.

The Effect OF Vibrations Upon the Cover
ing OF the Head.
In a recent scientific assembfage a
discussion took place upon the in1u-
nee of sleep in skin diseases. One of
the gentlemen who took part stated in
his criticism Of the paper which had
been read that one might as we'll talk
Of the influence Of music upon the
| growth of the hair. It would seem that
the suggestion Of a possible connection
thus thrown out in a testing way has
been taken seriously. At least a CORE
spondent Of LIE Temps has made trA
discovery that music Of certain Lj
does in reality prevent the hair FROM
falling, while that produced by certain
instruments has the most disastrous eff
feots in causing rapid development of
badness. He finds that while composers
are as prone as others to lose their hair
at an early age those who play their
compositions upon the piano preserve,
if they do not acquire, a luxuriant
growth of hair. On the other hand,
wind instruments, and especially the
cornet and trombone, are fatal to hir-
suite adornment. The v~ioloncello and
the harp keep the hair in pretty well, but
the flute cannot be depended upon to
preserve o strong growth after the fifth
eth year of age.
A number of pianists, including Pa
derewski, are cited in confirmation of the
pronounced influence of piano music. 1t
has been admitted for some time that
music has a certain therapeutic worth,
and it will be recalled that DR.. Ferrand
presented a report to the French acad-
envy on the physiological influence of
music, pointing out in what ways it
could be employed with therapeutic
aims. Subsequently DR.. Betzchinsky re-
ported an instance of night terrors in a
child of 8 years, who was cured by hay
ing played to it each night music of q
calming nature written in a minor key.
A test was made after a few nights by
emitting the music, and that night
alone the child had an attack.
1t has not as yet been determined Just
what key is most favorable to the pre-
yention Of an early bald state. Prob
ably q reasonable way Of settling the
disputed point would be to make a few
experiments on dogs, thus proving q
tolerance for different strains and avoid
ing the horripilation to which some pa
tients of refined tastes might be sub
jected. Wind instruments are always
dangerous if the hair has not q good
hold, while stiff haired people can
stand anything. Possibly a good rule
for any musician would be as soon as
he finds his hair falling that he should
cease playing for others. Medical Rec

4 Bare Faced Fad.

The fashion of the smooth face con,
tinues to increase in popularity, and
mustaohes are daily sacrificed to a fad
which is not so well adapted to every
man as a great many men evidently
think. The style came from England.
1t became so much the proper thing in
England for men to appear without hair
on their faces that it was finally found
necessary to forbid the practice in the
army, as the loss of whiskers was
spreading so rapidly that there prom
ised to be a ~beardless army in a short
while. Unbecoming styles of dress are
unquestionably accepted when they are
the mode. But it was usually thought
that the selection of q mustache OF a
smooth face was founded on a deeper
consideration Of what made a man look
we'll or the reverse. But that discrimi-
nation has been swept away now by the
enthusiasm with which the unshaved
lip has been acclaimed as the right
style. San Francisco Argonaut.

Perhaps it were as we'll, says Charles
Miner Thompson in The Atlantic, to
attribute the popularity Of Abraham
Lincoln to his jokes as the vogue Of
Mark Twain to his extravaganza foolery.
In the conventional sense, Mark Twain
is no moro a literary artist than, in TIE
conventional sense, Lincoln was a gen.
tleman. But, i'll spite of lack Of polish,
Lincoln was great. May not Marx
Twain, the writer, in spite of his crude
literary manners, be great also? The
mere possibility ought to be enough in
itself to secure him sympathetic and
serious consideration.

And gathered me from off my tree.

Had never lightly ridden down.
We're there no roses there that he
Must come and pluck and shatter me2
My leaves are scar that were so green
My leaves are wet with tears of teen.
Would God that I had never met
My lover, that has heart to set
Against my breast so sharp a sword.
Would God, instead Of belted lord,
That 1 had loved some meaner clay,
Who loved me on to Judgment day.
From London town my lover came
And set a country heart aflame,
Then left it lone to quench or burn
Because a queen must serve his turn.
Nay, but what boots me my disdain2
Would God my love would come again.
