Two Lavish Gifts Bestowed on q Pair of
Bright Boys.
Quite recently the pretty wife of a
prosperous manufacturer was looking
into a confectioner's window when a
barefooted lad of about 10 coolly walk
ed up to her and placed his rugged arm
through hers.
'Excoose this liberty, mun," he
said, with comical ceremony, but I
amt got a mother o. my own, an I feels
lonely. Will We kiss me?"
For a moment the lady was too as
tonished to speak, but the sight of the
dirty face turned SO %audaciously up
to hers drove away her indignation.
Much to the amusement OF the passers-
by she kissed the lad soundly, asked
him where he lived and dismissed him
with a few coppers. But that was not
the cr.d of the little incident. for some
weeks after the hoy was hunted up by
the lady's husband and presented with
Gl0O-"payment for the kiss taken in
front of the confectioner's window"
the lady said.
A good natured gentleman who is
very stout, and on that account does
not care to stoop, once dropped his brier
pipe in the middle of a busy street.
The pipe was a great favorite Of his,
but he dared not run the risk of bending
down, and after gazing regretfully at
his fallen treasure he decided to aban-
don it. Before he could do so, however,
a little street arab saw his plight, and,
running forward, picked up the pipe
and restored it to him.
The gentleman stared at the boy
without speaking for awhile, and then
pulled a handful of gold out of his
pocket.
Take this, kiddie, and be careful
how you spend it," he said. mind al
SO that whatever you do with it you are
not to spend it on butter scotch, for
that's the stuff that made me fat"
He then walked away, leaving the
astonished urchin in possession of q
windfall amounting to over CSC. -Lon-

ON A BUST OF DANTE.

eee from this counterfeit Of him
Whom Arno shall remember long
How stern of lineament, how grim,
The father was of Tuscan songl
There but the burning sense Of wrong
Perpetual care and scorn abide;
Small friendship for the lordly throng;
Dist:ust of all the world beside.
Faithful if this wan image be,
No dream his life was-but a fight!
Could any Beatrice see
A lover in that anchorite?
20 that cold Ghibe!line's gloomy sight,
Who could have guessed the visions came
Of beauty, yelled with heavenly light,
In circles of eternal flame?
The lips as Cuma's cavern close,
The cheeks with fast and sorrow thin,
The rigid front, almost morose,
But for the patient hope within,
Declare n life whose course hath been
Unsullied still, though still severe,
Which, through the wavering days of sin,
Kept itself icy chaste and clear.
Not wholly such his haggard look
When wandering once forlorn, he strayed,
With no companion save his book,
To Corvo's hushed monastic shade.
There. as the Benedictine laid
His palm upon the converts guest,
The single boon for which he prayed
Was peace, that pilgrims one request.
Peace dwells not here. This rugged face
Betrays no spirit of repose.
The sullen warrior sole we trace,
The marble man of many woes.
Such was his misn when first arose
The thought of that strange tale divine,
When hell he peopled with his foes,
Dread scourge of many a guilty line.
War to the last he waged with all
The tyrant cankerworms Of earth.
Baron and duke, in hold or hall,
Cursea the dark hour that gave him
birth.
he used p.lneo's hariot for his mirth,
PlucKed bare hypocrisy and crime.
But valiant souls of knightly worth
Transmitted to the rolls of time.
o Time, whose verdicts mock our own
The only righteous judge art thou!
That Door, old exile, sad and lone,
Is Latium's other Virgil now
Before his name to nations bow.
His words are parcels of mankind,
Deep in whose hearts, as on his brow,
The marks have Junk of Dante's mind.

HELD THE FORT.

The yard of the stockade was filled
with the little garrison. They ran here
and there busily, Tightening the cinches,
packing the mules with rations and
blankets and ammunition. laughing,
joking and larking.
In q corner, silent, there stood apart,
watching the others with most pathetic
eyes, a boy of IA, who alone of all that
crowd seemed to have no share in the
hustle of the departure. He was famed
in the legs so that to walk was difficult
and to ride impossible.
"Goodby, Teddy" cried a boy on a
horse. Isn't it glorious hunting
weather? If you were only coming, too,
it would be perfect. Oh, Teddy, you
you've been crying!"
I've not, jack" he said, with an
effort to speak calmly, "only-only I

with q happy inspiration, you'll have

with only old Schneider. You'll be al

"Ah, yah! Who'll be in command?
Teddy McNabb! He couldn't keep ont
the prairie dogs if they attacked the
fort.
A stout, red faced young trumpeter,
a witless lout, had approached the
friends and made TIE remark.
By came the captain, whistling, jolly
and inspired with the breath Of the
morning. He picked up the cripple in
his strong arms and held him high in
the air.
Its a pity you can't come, laddie,'
he said gently, for there were few who
were not fond CT Teddy. but you'll
find lots to do here. See! ! duly com

In your charge my wife and her maid.

He planted the cripple tenderly on
the ground again and jumped into the
saddle of the horse the trumpeter held
ready. Then they all rode off, a gallant
little company, Tor the first big hunt Of
the season.

COLONY OF CzECHS.
A Big One to be Located on o.
2. Lands in Kansas.

1t is probable that q large colony of
Czechs or Russians will be located
along the line of the Union Pacific be-
fore next spring, on the lands belonging
to the Union Pacific railroad.
Chas. Kuharick of New York who has
been entrusted with the task of Iocat-
ing several thousand of the immigrants
has already founded a colony of sever
al hundred in Colorado. He is con-
templating the purchase of a large body
of Union Pacific lands soon after their
sale by the special master, which takes
place on February 16, with the Kansas
Pacific railroad. The lands upon which
Mr.. Kuharick has his eye are situated
in Ellis, TregO and adjacent counties.
The Immigrants are nearly all farmers
and they will use the lands for agri-
cultural purposes if they are finally To-
Gated in Kansas.
NIr. Kuharick has been in communi-
cation with T. g. ShillinglaW and J. J.
Hit but Mr.. Shillinglaw said today
that he has not heard from him for
some time. About the time he select
ed the lands in Colorado Mr.. Shilling
law received a letter in which he said
that he would be present when the
Union Pacific sale was made and bid
upon some of the lands. He promised
to stop in Topeka ard Mr.. Shillinglaw
has been expecting a visit from him but
the pOstpOnement of the sale has also
postponed his visit.
Mr.. Hit said today that there will be
enough of the lands of the Kansas Pa
cifc to supply all the colonists Mr.
Kuharick or anyone else can bring to
Kansas. He says that there will be
more than 100000 acres sold in with the
railroad by Special Master Cornish. It
is supposed that they will be included
in the purchase of the line of railroad
and will be bought by the reorganiza-
tiOn committee.
Mr.. Hit says that he understands
that the lands viii be put on the mar
ket soon after they have been bought
in and he says that Mr.. Kuharick will
be able to get land for his colony as
cheaply as anywhere in the United
states.

SOUSA WINS LAURELS.
''The Bride Elect" His New
Opera, Proves an Immense
Success.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 29.-John Philip
Sousa's new comic opera, 1.-The Bride
Elect" received it's first presentation on
any stage at the Hyperion theater last
night and scored an instantaneous sue
cess. Particularly at the end of the sec
ond act, which closes with the march,
'Unchain the Dogs of War; was the au-
dience dennonstrative in its approval. The
march, typical Sousa one, sung with
magnificent effect by the en- = C rHan%.
was encored again and again, the entire
cast was called before the curtain, and
finally Mr.. Sousa had to respond with a
short speech. In 1.-The Bride-Elect' Mr..
Sousa makes his bow a librettist, and
he has told a novel story in most in
teresting manner.
The scene of the opera is laid on the
Island of Capri, in the Bay of Naples,
and the plot relates the trials, struggles,
passions and intrigues of two petty pO-
tentials. There are many novel dra-
matte scenes in the book, and Mr.. SOusa
has also provided lyrics of unusual merit.
The music is of a higher order than that
of Eel Captain but the composer pre-
serves his characteristic swing and dash
in nearly all the numbers
