A Wary Old stager, Hard to Catch, 10
the Veteran Buck.
He is a wary old stager, your veteran
solitaire, and even more difficult to dis
cover than he is to stalk. In the day
time he lies perdu in the shadow Of
some overhanging rock, only emerg-
ing in the. early morning and evening
to feed, says a writer in Blackwood's
Magazine. Like his human congen-
er, the elderly buck dimes late-at his
club, was about to say, but at any
rate in some sequestered nook where
the ladies' can not bother him. For
tunately, too, he has rooted and very
proper aversion to being disturbed at
his meals, and II you can only catch
him at dinner time he is so preoccu-
pied that, in my opinion, he is then
easier to approach than are his lady
friends. Your old doe is always so
horribly suspicious. she can not even
eat her dinner in peace, but between
the nibbles she must needs look
around and sniff the air to see If any
body Is coming. If pebble trickles
down the mountain side she pricks her
ears, cocks her head sideways and
seems to mutter to herself: Dear me,
wonder what that noise can be?" The
most annoying creatures that I know

that was still on the island
which had afforded us a refuge,
and that Pearl and Tom were my at
tendants. Yet this knowledge did not
come without confusion. I awoke ono
day and saw the child and the man.
Tom, sitting on the ground nursing
one Of his knees, was staring with all
his might and main at Pearl, who was
reading in low, sweet voice from a
little torn book:
"a ball was given by tho kings son,
and Cinderella's sisters were invited.
But Cinderella was forced to stay at
home in her chimney corner while
they were enjoying themselves at the
ball. Obi said the poor girl, how
wish, l w-i-s-h-' What do you wish,
my dear?' said her godmother, who at
that moment came in. You wish to
go to the princes ball, now, don't your
Cinderella at once confessed the truth.
Well, we'll, said her godmother, and
so you shall, my darling, if you con-
tinue to be good little girl So
Cinderella's godmother, who was a
fairy, at once, by a stroke of her wand,
transformed a pumpkin, six mice, a
rat, and six lizards, into the most
splendid carriage, with horses and
servants, that ever was seen. Cinder-
ella was fairly lost in wonder, when
her godmother again waved her wand,
and she became dressed in the most
beautiful clothes, ornamented with
most rare and costly jewels. Obi how
lovely Cinderella thought she looked,
when she saw in the mirror the won
derful change the fairy had made in
her! Her godmother also gave her
two little glass slippers, and told her
not to stay at the ball later than
twelve o'clock, for, should she do so,
her carriage, horses, and servants
would again become a pumkin, six
mice, a rat, and six lizards, and she,
too, would be changed into her form
err self. Cinderella promised to be
punctual, and started off in her car
riage to the ball."

Carrying Out Instructions.

There was a young man whose So
cial education had been somewhat neg
lected, and 1t CHANGED that he received
an invitation to church wedding.
The morning Of the ceremony found
him quite excited, and he started for
the church some time before, as he
would have said, "the show was billed
to come off,
Under his arm he carried a small
bundle, and before he had proceeded
far he met a friend.
Hello" said the friend, "and where
are you going all dressed up at this
time in the morning?"
Wedding answered the young man
briefly and proudly.
Indeed? Going to do some errands
on the way?''
Certainly not"
"But you are not going to wedding
with a bundle under your arm?"
"Of course I am. That's my pres'
ent."
Present! But you don't take your
present with you, man, You send 1t
beforehand"
That's all you know about 1t. I've
got a card right here in my pocket.
and the card says: Present at the
church. Boston Budget.

The Corpse Spoke Up.

One Of the most useful functlonaries
Of the Long Island college hospital in
Brooklyn is Billy" the janitor. ATT
tendance at clinics and operations for
many years has given the ancient serv-
itor some acquaintance with practical
surgery.
In an emergency he has been known
to perform operations himself. But
with all his acquired science BILLY" is
still superstitious.
In the operating room the other day
he was engaged in removing from pine
collins some new material that had
Just been received from the morgue. AS
no was opening the lid a sepulchral
voice seemed to come from the interior
Of the coffin and say: LET me out.
Let me OUT
The 1anitor dropped his hammer and
ran in terror from the room. He said
he had seen an eye move as the words
were uttered.
1t was only after Billy had DELHI
erately considered the number OF stu
dents in the apartment and the slim
chance any ordinary ghost would have.
In the presence of so many living men
that he would consent to return.
'Sure,I never thought that corpse
so cold as that would be talking so
manlike. I should suppose he would
be dead" said the janitor.
BILLY" does not know that Student
Hall and his chum were ventriloquists.

the picture the dates themselves are
seen growing in punches at the bot
tom Of the tuft Of leaves The uses
that the natives make of this tree are
many. Its stem and branches serve
for the construction Of his hut. The
bark serves him for writing paper.
From the sap he makes ink and 9th

and drink. Being dried they become a
staple article of diet. When fully ripe
they may be made the basis of fer
mented drink, described as most deli
cious. In the Arabian and African
landscape they are often the only green

passed before was suflctently con-
scious to take note Of actual events I
have never been able to discover, not
withdrawing the efforts OF my friends.
And consciougness came 80 gradually,
and the struggle To assert itself was 80
prolonged, as to add to my confusion in
this matter. Minutes that were like
weeks, weeks that were like minutes,
passed by during this crisis in a
strangely sweet manner. / was so
weak and helpless that could scarcely
move, and so composed and restful that
did not wish, and even feared, to do
so, lest a change should take place IN
my condition. The first thing I remem-
Der is that, opening my eyes languidly'
/ saw the sun shining through
a roof of loosely twined branches; the
next, that after an interval Of a mo-
ment, or day, or Of many days, l
saw the stars shining through them.
No sound disturbed the delicious still
ness. Then came another impression,
often repeated, Of my lips being
touched by food and liquid, which |
took INTERESTINGLY. Did l then begin
to hear whispers, or was it the MUIR
murlng of the breeze through the shell
ter of my leaves and branches? But
an actual voice did come to my ears.
~ am so glad, Tom! am so glad!"
And on another occasion:
flush, Tom! We mustn't wake
him."
And further on, words to the same
effect, tenderly and lovingly spoken.

several of us younger fellows lin
gered to air theories of journalism, of
which we had good many, too many.
The city editor, passing, dropped us
this friendly hint, to which we paid
no heed: IF you boys don't go home
and anything breaks loose you'll have
to go out on it,"
The telephone bell rang and the city
editor answered. "Whewv said he,

We went to Eighth and Buttonwood
streets on car. A more placid spot
none might find in all placid Phlla-

when we got there. There had been a
fire, but 1t was $10O blaze in bakery,
