AN OLD TIME CANDY pull

WheA the wintry stars are winkin'
Winkin' at the brink o night.
An the pale cold moon is sinkin',
Sinkin' slowly out o sight:
Then a blinkin' thro' my glasses,
My heart gets swellin' full.
An mind the lads an lassies
At an old time candy pull.
Thar was Mandy Jones. the Parsons gal
Land sakes! how my heart jumps!
An Tommy Brown, as stout pal
As ever took life's thumps:
An Betsy Smith an .Jimmouy Hill,
An Sam an Mary Dowd.
Whose daddy owned the OIL grist mill
An lots more of the crowd!
mind we met at old Dowd's place
Ills kitchen was the best
An the music O the Of mill race
Kept time to quip an jest:
Then when the 'lasses was billed down,
tell you it was fun
To pull it to a golden brown
lii 1t was proper done!
Then how we danced the 'Giny Reel,
Chock full O snap an spunk--
All hands around now-toe an heel!
Each lassie with hunk
u yellow 'lasses candy
Betwixt her laughin' lips
Els bedtime! Dear me, Mandy!

A yard OF Beer

Mr.. Harper. in his history of tine
Dover Road, London, recalls the now
little known feature at the inns Of the
yard Of beer" He says: 1T was serv-
ed in glass vessel exactly three feet
in length. with very narrow stem,
slightly Tipped at the mouth. and a
globular bowl at the bottom. This was
filled with beer. and any one who could
drink 1t without spilling could have
his drink for nothing; but. if he spilled
drop, the penalty was to pay double.
The beer would at first flow quietly and
slowly, but suddenly, when the glass
was tilted a little further. the air rush
ed up the long stem into the bowl, and
splashed about half pint of beer il
your face"

Close Shooting.

An Englishman who lived many
years in Africa says that it Is now sew
eral years since he ventured to take one
of the most daring shots that ever was
hazarded. His wife was sitting in the
house near the open door, the children
were playing about her, and he was
without not far away, busy with q
wagon.
Suddenly, he says, though it was mid
day, an enormous lion appeared at a
short distance, slowly advanced, and
laid himself quietly down in the shade
upon the very threshold of the door:
My wife, frozen with fear, remained
motionless in her place. The children
took refuge in her lap, and the cry they
uttered attracting my attention, hast
cred toward the door, My astonish-
ment and horror may be imagined when
I found the entrance barred in such =
manner.
The lion had not seen me. and glided
gently, scarcely knowing what meant
to do, to the side of the house, and to
the window Of my chamber. in which
l knew my loaded gun was standing.
BY happy chance l had set it in 4
corner close by the window, so that l
could reach it from the outside. and.
still more fortunately. the door of the
room was open so that could see the
whole danger Of the scene.
There was no time to think, for tine
lion was beginning to move. perhaps
with the intention Of making a spring.
l called softly to the mother not to be
afraid, and then fired. The ball passed
directly over my boys head and lodged
in the forehead Of the lion Immediately
above the eyes, and stretched him on
the ground.
There was an instant OF fearful sus-
pense. Then fired again: but the Sec
ond bullet was thrown away. for his
majesty never stirred after the first
shot, and l leaped over his PROSTATE
body to clasp my wife and children in
my arms.

Only Three Monarchs Crowned.

Only Three MOnarchS Crowned.
The magnificent and costly prepara-
tons now going on at Moscow and else
where for the approaching coronation
of the car and czarina recall to mind
the fact that very few European SOW
ereigns have gone through the ancient
ceremonies which constitute a duly
anointed king" With the exception OF
Queen Victoria, the Emperor King OF
Austria. Bohemia and Hungary, and
King Oscar Of Sweden, no other reign
ing monarch has been consecrated by
religious rite. In the case Of the King
of Italy there were obvious reasons
why the services of the church should
have been dispensed with. It Is less
Ineligible that SO Catholic king as
Carlos Of Portugal should have been
content to take the oath in the cOrtes
and attend ''Te Deum" only in the
cathedral. A mere oath, too. s,ltficed
for the establishment Of King George
upon the somewhat rickety Hellenic
throne.
The crowns Of Holland and Spain. OF
course. are, SO to speak, in commission.
AS to the kaiser, he did not even care to
go through the formality observed BY
his grandfather, who put the crown up
on his own head, hut deemed 1t enough
to make solemn declaration at the
opening Of the Imperial parliament
London letter.

Great Turtle shells.

The huge turtles that existed during
the youth Of the world appear to have
inhabited the foothills Of the Himalaya
mountains. The shells and bones OF
these extinct creatures, which occa-
sionally wash out Of the ravines where
they have been buried for ages, prove
that they were more than twice as large
as any specimen Of the tortoise family
which now exists.

dim and jOyless. And then she raised
one finger and put 1t against her lips
in a gesture that not only symh,led
silence, but enjoined it.
Agnes watched her in astonishrsent.
She knew that there was never any
pose about her friend; that what liar
ion seriously did and said were done
and said from a sincerity at daggers
drawn with sham.
And you'll never even ask him
whom it's from?" Agnes exclaimed.
Never"
"But you suspect"
mo matter what suspect"
"And you'll never let him know you
saw it and didn't open it,"
Never
"But this thing. Marion, will come
between you and him. 1t may ruin
your future happiness"
THAT can't be helped. If it's what
think 1t is"-here her placid voice broke
little-''then letting him know would
do more harm than good"
But perhaps 1t Is the merest trife
after ALL" said Agnes, she herself now
generously turning consider despite her
own sorrows; ''some request for fihan-
cial aid or loan of money from some
woman whom we both know"

had been that. He tells me everything

Something to Depend on.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug
firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,,
in speaking of DIR. Kings New
Discovery, says that last winter
his wife was attacked with la
grippe, and her case grew so SER
ious that physicians at Cowden
and Pana could do nothing for
her. 1t seemed to develop into
hasty consumption. Having DR..
Kings New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a
bottle home, and to the surprise
of all she began to get better from
first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and we'll.
DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds is
guaranteed to do this good work.
