Desperation of the UnIoved.

A Washington lady who has been
abroad with her little daughter tells
this story:
The little maiden had French nurse,
of whom she was very fond, and who
supplied her with most of her amuse-
ment. One day this nurse departed, and
her small charge didn't know what to
do with herself. She wandered about
the house, upstairs and down, into the
garden and back again, and finally
hung about her mother, who was busy
just then with the baby. Receiving no
attention, she turned away, saying, de-
jectedly:
Nobody loves me. I guess I'll go
down in the garden and eat bugs. ate

WHEN SCHOOL IS ouI.

When school is out / shall go home she
said
And all my heartache will be comforted. -
when school is out" she said. "once more
I'll rest
My tired head upon my mothers breast,
: And feel her tender cheek against il
pressed.
And there, at last, shall find perfect rest"
When school is OUT she said, 81 know
I'll meet
Dancing for joy along the golden street
My little child, my babe so stainless sweet,
Who went to Heaven before his dimpled
feet
Had ever learned in earthly paths to go,
Nor pressed the violets, nor trod the snow!
Oh, will clasp him close, and shall know
Those kisses that taught him long agoi"
"Life's weary lessons all are learned" she
said,
"And school is out" We bent-and she was
dead.

Central American Boiled the Sirup
and the Animal Did the Rest.

A Central American Boiled the Sfrup
and the Animal Did the Rest.
A story comes from Central America
that jaguar came to natives sugar
bush one day and upset the pan of boil
ing hot strip while jumping over it
at the, natives dog. 1t, was a sad mis-
hap for the jaguar, but a joyful one
for the native, who sat in nearby tree
hugging it hard lest he slide down into
the jaguar's open mouth. The boiling
sirup cotton the jaguar's paws. 1t made
the iaguar roar with pain, and over and
over the brute rolled, trying to shake
off the hot, sticky stuff. 1t rolled into
the stream of sugar, and was plastered
from head to foot. Even it's eyes were
closed Monkeys and birds from the
neighboring thickets came around and
squealed
The molasses stuck the fur into wads
and clumps, and the leaves and twigs
lying about stuck fast to the hair.
When the big cat rolled up against
tree trunk it would seize the trunk with
it's teeth and claws, tearing through the
bark. For over two hours the beast
ripped things up with undiminished
yigor, then it slowly ceased struggling.
Then the native, John Costerize, slid
down the tree, picked up his machete,
sneaked up to the beast cautiously, and,
using the big knife as an AK, brought
the heavy blade down on the brute's
skull, knocking out the last vestige of
life. With the assistance of neighbors,
he dragged the carcass to a nearby
stream, where it was soaked for a day
to dissolve the molasses. The beast
was them skinned and now Costerize
poses as a mighty hunter.-N Y Sun.

New York, April 5.-Althougi the cotton market was rather quiet today it did not entirely sub<s;de in the dullness of the last week. The trading continues to denote more interest in the part of the public in the price of the staple.
 The reports from the Mississippi valley this morning were the most alarming yet received and the Liverpool cables reported an advance of two sixty-fourths. Our mar ket opened higher, May selling on the first call at Ill. After the opening Liverpool bought freely here and May advanced to 712 A period of stagnation ensued which was followed by some liquidation and by renewed selling of the fall months and prices gradually declined during the re- maindeF of the day The close was barely steady with 7D6 bid for May. The failure of prices to advance today has discour- aged the bulls but we have faith in cot ton. RIORDAN 8s co.

Cash w1eGt was weak and 1c per bushel lower.. The weakness of wheat as in corn proved that potent power was there to depress the market
 Corn was depressed by sympat thy for wheat. May corn opened at 241sa2 4c, and advanced to. 2i3sc, closing at 245Ec-1s@hc under Saturday. Cash corn was easy and 14Nkc lower. There was a pretense of steadiness in oats. The light receipts and reported delayed seeding were the active agents in determining the tone. May oats closed unchanged from Saturday. Cash oats were unchanged.
 Proyisions-The product market was in a generally animated condition.s Spasms of activity were seen, but in the aggregate the session was dull. Price changes were unimportant, evidently because of lack of activity in the hog market. Toward the close offerings became heavy and prices re- ceded under the pressure. May pork closed 1l19c lower May lard, 5@712c lower, May ribs, H@c lower.

Dubois and Squire.

The defeat of Dubois in Idaho and of
Squire in Washington ought to be les
son enough to the politicians that hon
esty in politics, equally with honesty in
business, is the best policy.
Here were two men whose terms as
senators were expiring, who went de-
liberately to work to secure their re-
election by making an alliance with
their lifelong political adversaries.
They deserted their friends, they en-
deavored to defeat the party that had
honored them with high office, on an
issue that they must have known could
be only temporary at the best. They
carried their bag and baggage over
to the populist army, were received be-
fore the battle with open arms, and
placed in high command, and now, af-
ter they had helped to win the day in
their respective states, they have been
