self?' she demanded. LAS soon as the
horse went lame you were bound, [ con-
slider, to let the public knew of it; that
is, if you race only for the love of SPORT,

ject of making money out of your fell

up stud, you say? Well, you have the
stakes you win. Besides. no one asks
you to do it against your Will
But it was impossible to listen to such
Dernicious nonsense any longer, as Mr..
Fenton roundly told her; whereupon a
heated discussion cnSued, ending III the
rupture of the engagement, a step which
the gentleman, for one, hailed with relief
rather than with regret. For if Clare
chose to cast him off, could he not find
consolation with that other friend on
whose tender devotion he could implicitly
rely? To that friend he rushed as fast
as the express would carry him, to find,
alas! that she had vanished as mysteri-
uusly as she came.
So far Gilbert Fenton has heard and
seen nothing more of Mrs. Long, nor
will he, declare those who are cOnversant

When You Meet IN Japan.

Nothing is more amusing than to watch
two acQuaintances saluting in the streets
of japanese town. As they come in
sight of each other, they slacken their
pace, and approach with doWncast eyes
and ave1ted faces, as if neither was wor-
thy of behOlding the other; then they
bow low, 50 as to bring the face on a
level with the knees, on which the palms
of the hands are pressed.
4 succession of kissing sounds is next
made by drawing in the breath between
the closed teeth, interspersad with a Sc
ries of complimentary phrases uttered
with great volubility in q sort of under
toned falsetto, each trying to Guido his
friend in rapidity and extravaganza of
language, while the palms are diligently
rubbed.
At last the climax is reached and each
endeayors to give the precedence to the
other. For some moments, perhaps for a
full minute, the polite contest continues:
then the ceremony abruptly ends, as if
the difficulty were capable of none but
a brusque solution, and the two pass on
hurriedly, with a look of extreme relief

Thus it may again happen that Sunday,

further distinguished as day upon which
the Porto Rican campaign will be initiat-

The great man sat in his easy, chair,
Addressing a small black poodle there,

His eyes were blurred with running tears
And anguish on his brow appears.
Farewell, my dog, farewell.

And now, when nights are bitter cod,
Farewell, my dog, farewell.
Instead of you upon my feet
I'll water bottles have for heat,
Farewell, my dog, farewell.
Ny heart lonely aching feels,
To think, outside you'll take your meals,
Goodby, my dog goodby.
Upon the mat like common ours,
You. whove been used to richest furs,
Goodby, my dog, goodby.
But sometimes when my wife's away,
And cannot Sternly say us nay,
Goodby. my dog, gOodby.
At table you shall sit once more,
And all shall be as twas before,
Goodby, my dog, goodby.
And you must sleep no more, my dog,
On mats before the smOdering log,
Farewell, my dog, farewell.
A kennel now is in the yard.
Where you must dwell; ali yes. it's hard,
Farewell, my dog, farewell.
And when we drive, oh hardest fate,
To seat where you so long have safe,
GOOdby, my dog, goodby.
No more resting place you'll find,
For dogs must run along behind,
Goodby, my dog, goodby.
I'm not traitor, doggy mine.
My heart is just as truly thine.
Farewell, my dog. farewell
But l must give up many a craze,
And seek some other little ways

During the war between Great Britain
and the United States in 1872 a game
cock once won a signal victory for the
stars and stripes. 1t happened thus: A
British flotilla on Lake Champlain was
attacked by the American fleet under
Commodore McDonough, and the day was
going against the assaiants when a can
non shot struck a hencoop OF board the
commodOre's ship, killing all the feathered
inmates except an old cock. The in

SENATOR CONCERTS ROMANCE
Finally Wed the Woman Whose Hand
was Denied Him in Early Years.

Ex-senator Ccnger of Michigan, who
occupied a prominent place in public af-
fairs for many years, and died at Ocean
City, Md, was a very remarkable man,
says a Washington correspondent. His
father was Presbyterian minister, who
emigrated from New York state to north
ern Ohio early in the century. and sent
his son to the academy at Milan, Erie
county, and afterward to Western Reserve
college, where he paid for his education
by serving as janitOr of the college build
ing, ringing the chapel bell and attending
the horse and milking the COW of one of
the professors. He graduated with hon
Ors, studied law and afterWard settled in
Port Huron, Mich, which was his home
during the rest of his life. Judge Humph-
reys, one of the great men of Ohio
eminent socially, professionally and politi-
cally, proud, rich and aristOcratic, had a
beautiful daughter named Stella, with
whom Mr.. COnger fell in love. His af-
lection was reciprOcated and they became
engaged, but Judge Humphreys pride
would not permit his daughter to wed Il
charity student. Miss, Stella afterward
married Gen. Selby Of the army, and lived
for many years in St. Paul Mr. Conger
married a lady at Port Huron. One day
when he was at the height Of his fame
and influence and was recognized rs the
Republican leader in the House of Rep
reSentatlYes page brought MN card
from a lady in the gallery. 1t bore the
name of Mrs. Selby, and glancing up into
the gallery he recognized his old sweet
heart. He was very soon at her side eX-
changing information about events Of the
quarter of a century that had passed since
they had seen each Other.
Il am a widower,' said he; 'and am
a widow" said she, and when she asked
him to call upon her at the National hotel
he replied that he would be glad TO do SO
if he might come on the old terms. They
were married a few days later and their
lives were very happy. She had wealth
and he ability, and although both of them
were old-fashioned, unassuming people,
they held a prominent place IL the poiiti-
cal circles of The capital. Since he re-
tired from public life Mr.. Conger had
been living quietly with his sons in Wash
ington. While he had taken little interest
in current affairs, he had seldom been seen
at the capitol. Recently be had been so
infirm that he was unable to get about.
He was 50 years old at the time of his
death

1t Changed Color.

A new courthouse was built recently
in Warrensburg, Mo-, and on its dome
is a statue of the goddess OF liberty,
holding a staff, on which was ball
glowing with a rich golden color Con-
corning this golden ball the few Re
publicans in the town made frequent
comments and complimented the county
court on its efforts to keep in touch
with the prevailing sentiment of the
country. This was too much for the
county court, whose members are ali
Democrats, and secret orders were given
to supplant the golden ball with one of
silver. Last Sunday morning, when the
people of Warrensburg awoke and
cleared their eyes, they found that the
change had been made, and the goddess
now holds alOft a ball of shining silver.

Why Good Swimmers Are Drowned

The sudden drowning of good SWIM
mer is not due to cramp, as generally
supposed. There is no reason, says a
high medical authority, why cramp in
leg should prevent an ordinary swimmer
supporting himself in the water by his
hands or on his back or cause him to
throw up his hands and sink once for all
like a stone. The explanation is that the
drum of the ear is perforated and the
pressure of water causes vertigo and I'M
