The lover said:
Modest was she when irst wo we'd
So shy, indeed, l can't forget
Her blushes redI
And when she mounted her pony truo
For q cAnter down Fifth avenue,
She wore a long skirt OF sober blue.
Hiding her feet. and side-saddle. too"
Again he said;
"Now she's a bold and airy maid,
A hiking miss, OF naught afraid,
All coyness fiedl
She wears q jaunty bloomer faddle,
And, when mounting her cycle saddle.
She nimbly leaps and lands astraddie,
Then pedestrians Just skedaddle."

A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba to
to the New York Journal, under date of
March 4th, contains this very interesting
information to patriotic Americans:
A young French girl, Mile. Louise
Flament by name, who was arrested
here week ago by the Spanish author.
tiles as political suspect, walked free
yesterday. After she had been kept ~
hours in the "incommunicado" state the
French Consul demanded her trial or
immediate release. The demand was re.
fused. Two days later a little French
warship steamed into this port, and, &C.
companied by its commander, the Con.
sui renewed his demand, this time insis.
ting on the prisoners unconditional re.
lease, the withdrawal of all charges
against her, apology for the outrage com.
mitted upon her, acknowledgement of q
reasonable claim for damages and royal
salute to the French flag.
To do all this the Spanish authorities
were given six hours time. In the
mean time the Frenchman cleared for
action and then calmly awaited results.
Before the expiration of the third hour
everything had been acceded to, and
when the Spanish cannon began to boom
their salute of regret to France the young
French girl was already at home receiv-
ing congratulations of her friends, among
them the United States Consul Hyatt
and wife, Chinese Consul Mason and
the representatives of various South
American Republics.

He Was Chief of the snobs.

Sir John Brown, the cutlery manu-
facturer of Sheffield, owed his title to
visit to that city by the prince of
Wales while Sir John was mayor of
Sheffield. That he is snob of snobs
the following story proves: On the
occasion of his visit the prince leaned
his head against a wall in the
billiard-room in his hosts house, leav-
ing a stain on the delicate paper. This
stain Sir John had covered with glass
and surrounded by gold frame, plac'
ing an inscription below which related
that the stain was made by the head Of
England's future king.-Boston Globe.

Why He Died.

In 1927 Mr.. Zea, Colombian minister
in England, died suddenly. He was in
sured in various offices, and rumor said
he had shot himself. A meeting of one
of the insurance boards was held, and
the directors were talking the matter
over, when DIR. NJ appeared, who
was the company's medical referee as
well as Mr.. zea's own physician.
"Ah! now you can tell us the true
cause of Zea's DEATH
Certainly can," said the doctor, SOL
emnly, "because attended him."
Here he paused. and was surprised 70

mark was hilariously received as a So

The Williamspert News of last week
gives the following amusing item from
it's Deer Creek correspondent
Rev. H. j. Duckworth is one of the
most surprised ministers in this part OF
the country, and it came about like this:
Two colored men who are gatherin 2
dead stock for the Washington g II.
fertilizer manufacturers were in the
vicinity of Five Points Tuesday night,
and as great revival ia in progress at
Christian Church, the colored gentle.
men attended the meeting. During the
progress of the services, Rev. Duckworth,
the pastor, called out, Brother johnson,
will you lead us in prayer ?"
Well, Brother Johnson" did lead in
prayer, but it was not the Brother
johnson" the minister had in mind.
One of the searchers for the carcasses of
"back number" horses was offering up
the most frevent supplications. He
prayed earnestly for the baptism of the
Holy Ghost on his white brethern. But,
it seems, they did not desire his assis.
tance and sung him down-or up, rather
and the minister ordered him out of
church. He quietly obeyed the. minis.
ter's order to the letter.
After church was over the minister
caused the black mn's arrest, charged
with disturbing the meeting. He was
brought before his honor, Mayor Harper,
of Five Points, and the trial lasted till
o'clock next morning.
The trial developed the fact that the
people were on the coIored mans side
except the minister and few others.
The darkey was himself minister OF
three years experience, and a member
of the colored church at Washington G.
H. It was also evident that they mis-
took their man, for Brother Johnson
was as smart and we'll posted as any oi
them, and he had plenty Of hackers
among those who were present. A yer.
dict of not guilty was returned, and the
black man departed in peace.

Obituary..

Edwin Grove, youngest son of Amos
and Mary E. Grove, departed this life
Feb. Goth, 1897, aged 80 years, months
and 26 days. In Jan. 1890 he was mar.
ried to Miss Bertha Kibler. These
young people we're indeed ardent lovers,
and suddenly, ere he reached the merid.
ian of manhood, he was stricken down
with that dread disease, pneumonia.
He seemed to realize from the first his
earthly career was drawing to close.
Although his body was racked with pain
and scorched with fever, he told his
friends around him what disposition
should be made of his earthly effects,
with the GOODNESS of philosopher. Nor
did he forget the most important part
of all human life, chat of making peace
with God As the earthly house of hii
tabernacle was dissolving, in his soul he
rejoiced with joy unspeakable and full
of glory. He sang and shouted the
praises OF Him who hath redeemed us
by his own precious blood, and bidding
his earthly friends loving farewell. en-
joined them to meet him in that city
whose builder and maker is God. Thus
gently and quietly he fell asleep in Jes
us, and passed over the mystic river t.
be with bis mother and her God, where
they shall weep no more, and where
sickness and pain are unknown and may
God lead those that were dearest to hin
in closer walk with himself, until they
too shall obey the summons that calls vi
to our eternal home. G. G.

Over the ocean wide.

Beside q dark and boundless sea;
We cannot pierce the radiant glow
That folds tho other three
They watch above the rolling world,
Waiting till one, at Gods command,
Shall cross the space that lies between

And, ohl long for the years to pass;
And, oh! I cry for the time to be
When they who are watching with eager

Shall bend and beckon me.

When, through the silence. q message
