His Dying Moments Were Full of the
Past.

Past.
The old Texas veteran was dying.
For days he had been unconscious, and
now the end was at hand. A few friends
and relatives had gathered around his
lowly bedside.
How time which seems to take moth
ing as he passes finally takes all! No
body would have supposed that the
shrunken form and pinched features
were once a model of manly strength
and beauty. 1t was hard to believe that
one of the boldest of the daring Texas
rangers, who had carved red swath
with his bowie knife through the Next
can ranks at Sam Jacinto.
Would he pass over the river without
a final word? No, for the thin lips part,
there is an eager expression on the
drawn face as he says, hurriedly: 'Push
on, boysl We must overtake them be-
fore night. The women and children
must be saved"
He went away back in the thirties on
the trail of the Comanches along with
Jack Hayes.
For few moments nothing was
heard but the laboring breathing of the
sufferer. Suddenly he clutched the bed
clothes. There was a demon-like scowl
ON his brow, his eyes blazed with fury,
! and through his clenched teeth, like
the growl of tiger, came the words:
Remember the Alamo"
HE is fighting MeXicans at San Jacin-
/ to-" whispered one of his sons.
For several minutes he did not seem
to breathe. Had he already passed
through the dark river? No, for once
more the thin lips part, and in voice
in stg@nge contrast to the hoarse war
cry of San Jacinto, he whispers: Lit
| tie May"
The old mans sons, themselves gray
haired men, glance at each other. For
40 years that name had never passed
| his lips. She was his only daughter, the
pride of his life, but he thanked God
when he heard she was dead.
Behold the wonderful transfigura-
ton! The withered features are all
aglow with a. smile of ineffable tender
ness, like a CLEAN of sunshine bathing
in glory the rugged rocks of some an
cient ruin. ''Come, little May, let us go
out ON the prairie, and pick flowers.
Come, little one!"
The outstretched arms fall heavily,
and good old mother earth, who sooner
or later, gathers to her bosom all her
tired children, and lulls them to sleep,

dead.-AleX Sweet. in TammanV Times.

WOES OF THE sALESWoMEN.
Experience of a Lady Who Became
Clerk from Necessity.

Clerk from Necessity.
The "saleslady's" side of the shop
ping question is not often heard. When
it is, she is usually making a complaint
about the customer who shops, turns
over goods and never buys. The woman
behind the counter does not care for
sympathy, but she appreciates polite
ness in the customer she waits upon.
This is a story of a small New Eng
land city, where people are little
more shaken together than they are in
larger cities. This woman was really
a lady, and was a store clerk from ne
cessity. There she had many pleasant
dealings with customer who always
came to her to be waited upon, and
whom she took great pains to serve.
1t CHANGED during one of the win
tiers that she was invited to card par
ties, at which she met her former GUS
toner socially. That is, there was a
formal introduction. Possibly there
was not as much real sociability be-
tween the two at the card parties as
over the counter.
customer was looking in an opposite.
direction. They met again, and the
customer, although her eyes were APP
parently gazing straight into the eyes
of the clerk, saw only vacancy.
81 am sensitive" said the clerk to her
self. ''She did. not see me. will be
more sure another time"
In the meantime the customer had
called at the shop and received the usual
respectful attention from her favorite
clerk.
Then for third time the customer
and clerk met on the street, and this
time there could be no mistake; the Gus
toner did see the clerk it was plain. and
it was equally ulain that she did not in
tend to speak to her.
II did not expect her to do more than
speak to me courteOusly," said the
clerk, relating the experience. ''but un-
der the circumstances 1 did expect
that. [ have waited on her for the last
time. She comes into the shop now, and
if am entirely at leisure let her stand
until some one else is ready to take her
order. She has taken up my time in the
shop telling me of her intimate family
affairs, in which L am in no way inter-
ested. She has been very pleasant and
very familiar. 1 do mt care for that,
but 1 do expect a courteous recogni-
ton
Undoubtedly it is foolish for any
woman, clerk or not, to feel that it is
worth while being offended because
some woman fails to recognize her.
Conditions in New York are different.
Just such an episode could hardly arise
here, but snobbishness either here or.
elsewhere does not seem to be an adj
mirable quality. The ''saleslady' ap-
preciates considerate treatment.
"Shc was so NICE" one of them was
heard to say enthusiastically a few
days ago, in commenting upon a recenti
customer. "and she said she had such a
nice saleslady."-N. Y. Tribune.

6Toam AND SUNSHINE.

The waves dashed up against the shore,
The wind beat out again;
The sea fed wildly on before,
And sobbed and E2oaned with pain.
The heavy clouds hr2g low and dark,
The rain swept on below,
And blotted out storm-tossed bark
Sad type of human woe.
But that was yesterday, my dear,
To-day the sun shines bright.
And all that seemed 50 wild and drear
Has vanished in the night.
The little waves run up the shore,
The sea forgets its pain:
The whole wide world grows glad once
more,
And courage lives again.
Take cheer, sad heart, it's dark to-day,
But let us not repine;
These gloomy clouds will fly away,
To-morrows sun will shine.

Work VIII Come West.

BOSTON, Mass, May 3O.-The Bac-
chante statue which so pleased the art
lovers and at the same time caused
wave of morality to sweep over the
cultured Bostonese last fall is never
again to be favored with receptions
and pink teas. So much criticism has
been made by moralists that Archi-
tect McKim, who. at the expense Of
$25, zoo, secured the statue and pre-
scented it to the trustees of the public
library only to be snubbed in having
it refused, and after reconsideration
accepted conditionally, has within
a few days withdrawn his offer. The
opposition was led by Rev. William
E. Barton, who, speaking today Of Mr..
McKim's withdrawal of his gift Of
MacMonnies' finest work. said:
cit is a triumph Of temperate. con-
scientious opposition, and Mr. McKim
has done a wise thing"
1t is understood that Mr. McKfm has
under consideration the offering of the
beautiful statue, which has so shocked
Boston modesty, to either Chicago or
New York, to be placed in their pub
lie art galleries or libraries. He de-
clines to discuss the matter but inti-
mates that he has leaning toward

with the spirit Of the day and occa-
sion and delivered an eloquent dis
course as to the duty Of Americans In
defending the priceless heritage of nb-
erty secured for us by our forefathers,
and maintained by our fathers, whose
deeds of valor in defense Of the repub-
lie will ever live and be an incentive
to LOYALTY and patriotism to the ris-
ing genera ton. Dr.. 1ngersoll would
have the stars and stripes of Amer
lea placed Just below the white ban
ner of the cross, no higher, no lower,
an exalted position. indeed. The sol
diers of ancient times were compared
with the present, and 1t was shown
that the soldier Of today had far more
to hope for, and should have loftier
aims and ambitions. With the dawn
of the twentieth century an era Of
great possibilities and much prosper
ity would be entered upon, even greater
er thought, and he was sure that the
United States Of America, having ever
received the special blessings Of the
Heavenly Father, would ever continue
TO watch over and protect His chosen
people. The music, both vocal and in
strumental, was Of special merit, and
appropriate to the occasion.
