THE ROADSIDE AoLIAN.

When winds stream over the rugged knoll
The highway lies along,
The wires stringing from pole to pole
Give tongue to a voice of song.
A-glint with beams of the morning sun
They carry blitheful air,
Humming burden that seems to run,
Good news is the word we bear
This joyous one,
"Gcod news we bear"
They swing and sway at the breeze's will
While the heavens smile above
To hear the measure they gayly thrill,
''We're speeding line of love-"
With scale and trill,
"a line of love"
A cloud and shadow go sailing by.
To the breezes' falling breath
In sinking cadence the wires sigh,
"Respect for tale of deathi"
More softly still,
IA tale Of deathl'
Oh, the songs are many the wires sing
When the rowing wind is sent
To play of gladness or suffering
On its mighty instrument.

GYPSY SONG.

You are the safe and firelit room,
am the open world;
You are the city and this your doom:
Never to feel the outer cold,
Never to fear the utter dark,
Never to strain the eyes and bark
For any foot but the foot of Time;
Never to find hill worth the climb
Or Joy that may be worth the tear,
My deari
You are shut in from snow and sleet,
/ am out in the wind;
Ny feet are strange to the trodden street.
Love Vannot hold or bind
My empty hands that let you go
My hands that catch the silken snow
And let it slip from me in rain.
love you, yet our souls are twain,
For 1 am hope and you are fear,
My dear

There are some smokers who do not
buy tobacco or cigars more than once a
year. There is probably no other article
which is so often borrowed and not re-
paid as tobacco. A wit in this city once
said in a newspaper paragraph, "The
American people last year used so, 200,
goo pounds of chewing tobacco, half Of
which they borrowed" There is almost
as much truth as fun in that assertion.

ANIMALS UNDERGROUND.
Burrossing as 1t Is Performed by Various
Species of Mammals.

BurroEing as It Is Performed by Various
Species of Mammals.
Ventilation, or rather the want Of it,
must De a difficulty in the underground
life of almost all mammals. The rabbit
and the rat secure current of aid by
forming bolt hole in connection with
their system of passages, but the fox.
the badger and many of the field voles
and mice seem Indifferent to any such
precaution. There is no doubt that
whatever gave the first impulse to bur-
row, many animals look upon this, to
us most unpleasant exertion, as form
of actual amusement. 1t also confers
right of property.
Prairie dogs constantly set to work to
dig holes merely for the love of the
thing. If they cannot have suitable
place to exercise their talent in, they
will gnaw into boxes or chests Of draw
ers, and there burrow, to the great det-
riment of the clothes therein contained.
In an inclosed prairie dog town" they
have been known to mine until the su-
perincumbent earth collapsed and buried
the greater number. A young prairie
dog, let loose in small, gravel foored
house, instantly dug hole large enough
to sit in, turned round in it and bit the
first person who attempted to touch
him. Property gave him courage, for
before he had been as meek as mouse.
1t is noticeable that the two weakest
and least numerous of our mice, the
dormouse and the harvest mouse, do not
burrow, but make nests, and that these
do not multiply or maintain their num-
bers, like the burrowing mice and voles.
But the fact that there are members of
very closely allied species, some Of
which do burrow, while others do not,
seems to indicate that the habit is an
acquired one.
In this connection it is worth noting
that many animals which do not bur-
row at other times form burrows in
which to conceal and protect their
young. or, if they do burrow, make a
different kind of more elaborate char
aoter. Among these nursery burrows
are those of the dog, the fox and sand
martin, the kingfsher and the shell
drake. Foxhound litters never do SO
we'll as when the mother is allowed to
make a burrow on the sunny side of a
straw stack In time she will work this
FIVE or six feet into the stack and keep
the puppies at the far end, while she
lies in the entrance. Vixens either dig
or appropriate clean burrow for their
cubs, which is natural habit, or, at
any rate, one acquired previously to the
use of earth by adult foxes. London

How Il Etatesman's Rustic PrOtege Was
Helped on Way to Fame.
'sThe off horse has lost a shoe from
the right fore foot, said the coachman,
as he drew up opposite wayside black
smith shop. "Shall stop and have it
replaced?''
'By all means, replied the owner
Of the ourriole, Senator Aaron Burr of
New York, cit is always the proper
thing to keep your horses we'll shod,
and, besides, I am only too glad of a
chance to stretch my legs after SO long
a drive. While the smith is busy will
stroll to the top of one Of these beauti-
full Ulster county hills"
When he returned half an hour later,
he happened to glance at the side Of a
barn near the shop and saw with sur
prise an accurate though hurriedly
drawn charcoal picture of his ourricle
and horses.
"Who drew that?" he inquired.
"That little frouzy head yonder, I"
replied the blacksmith, pointing to a
boy in homespun who was chopping
wood in the dooryard opposite as If his
whole mind was occupied with his task.
''Halloo, my lad, !" called Burr, and
when the little fellow looked up with
the air Of one who has been caught in
some misdemeanor he added pleasantly,
eff ever you want to change your occu-
patton and see life, just put clean
shirt in your bundle and go to this adj
dress in New York, and he crossed
the road to hand the boy slip of paper.
The team was soon on its homeward
way, and in short time the incident
passed from the crowded mind Of Aaron
Burr. Months afterward, as he sat at
breakfast, servant brought him pack
age containing homemade clean shirt
and said that boy at the door had
asked her to deliver it as an all suffi-
cient introduction. But the senator
could not understand its significance, SO
he sent for the boy, whom he at once
recognized as the youthful genius of the
roadside.
With all his faults. Burr was gen.
erous man at heart, and he spared
neither pains nor expense to give the
youth the best of instruction in his
chosen profession. From an artistic
point of view the student became very
successful as the great painter Wander.
Ign, although he lived life of poverty.
He painted the portraits of Aaron
Burr and his daughter, Theodosia, from
which were taken the fine engravings
by which we know them. He died near
the spot where he drew the picture of
the waiting team. His career is a noble
monument to the better side of the ma
ture of his benefactor, a nature not
wholly devoid of sweetness and light,
although darkened by frequent clouds
through his mature life and finally
eclipsed in the murky gloom of a purely
selfish ambition. Atlanta Constitution.

CONFINEMENT.

Within the confines of this little room,
Whose narrow space has held my hopes and
fears
For, 10, what matters it how many years,
find a garden in perennial bloom.
There's not an ingle nook nor corner small
There's not an object-picture, print nor
book
There's not hands breadth span upon the
wall,
That blossoms not to memory meath my
look,
And like garden when the sunshine plays
No fairer pleasance can reflect her rays,
And though when gloom and murk pervade !
know
These erstwhile beauties of my garden fade,
Where is it otherwisef When all Is said
I'd not exchange my realm for aught below.

Then in the black and hideous OBJ
scurity, in the pitchy darkness that fill
ed the circus, lately SO blazing, poignant
shrieks rolled from row to row. Wom-
en- tainted, and the spectators, with
their hearts crushed in hopeless terror,
shudderingly sat as if petrified in their
places and peered into the night that
filled the dome. The net was empty,
the acrobat must be looked for in the
gloom. In the search lanterns were
brought and carried toward the top of
the circus Five minutes-five centu-
ries-elapsed. Some one cried, Bengal
lights"
Then while here and there people
were trying to relight the burners
blaze of violet and red, of green and
azure, flashed out, and with a powerful
illumination lit up at one flash every
corner of the circus with it's fantastic
and trembling CLEANS.
And suddenly, as in the flames of a
transformation scene, was seen, rigid,
clamped to the trapeze, Prince Icarus,

MUSTER OUT ORDERS MISSING.
No Orders for Muster Out Of Signal Corps Can
Be Found.

| Captain G. w. Butler of the Maine Vol
unteer Signal Corps, was in the city
| Monday, on business with Adjutant Gem
eral Richards. He is about to order his
command to meet in Portland, which is
| the headquarters of the corps Dec. 1, for
| the purpose of being mustered out, OF at
least to be in readiness for that cere-
mony, as they were instructed in Septem-
Der. There is something wrong about the
| orders that were issued by the war de-
partment regarding the muster out of
| the corps, SO it is possible that it may be
delayed for a time.
| 1t seems t12t no orders for muster out
can be found. The war department has
relieved Captain Rogers of the duty of
muster officer Tor this State, and has de-
| tailed Captain C. G. Morton of the 9Th
| Infantry, formerly lieutenant colonel of
the LIST Maine Volunteers, for the service.
| He has examined every order issued re-
garding the Maine troops, and in none
can he find one where the muster out of
| the Signal Corps is ordered. He is in
communication with the war department,
| but it may be weeks before the matter
can be cleared.
1t is the earnest hope of the corps that
| the muster out can be postponed, for they
all have the feeling that there is more
trouble ahead before the present trouble
| is settled, and they want to be in it. They
have tried every way they could think of
| to be retained, but have received no en-
enlargement in any more than receiving
| the high praise that they deserve, and
also the promise that in case they are
| needed they will be called upon.
Captain Butler says all but three or
| four of his men will be able to report for
| muster out. He does not know whether
the three officers who were attached to
| the corps will he present or not, as he has
| no knowledge of their whereabouts, and
| cannot notify them. They did not report
when they were detailed to report to him.
and of course he had to report them as
absent without leave, or practically de-
serters. Of course they would not be
classed as deserters, as the fault in their
| p"t reporting lies with the war depart
ment, and not with them.
