AS we used to sit at evening
In the firelight's lambIent glow.
She was tiny maiden
Yet she loved me then, ! know,

told her fairy stories
When we had older grown;
Those tales of love and courage
That lovers long have known;
When we used to watch the shadows
Like tides incoming flow,
And she whispered that she loved me
In the old days long ago.

Almost every evening now;
But they've lost their old time glamor
And we've changed about somehow,
For we've married one another,
Yet she loves me still, although
She don't believe the stories

They Skinned Him.

a lively breeze was raised in the
House Of Representatives on the
last day Of February. Mr.. Shattue
Republican, of Cincinnati, took oc-
casion on an amendment to the
Sundry civil bill to attack Mr.. Fox,
Democrat, OF Mississippi, for saying
some days before in contested
election case, that the railway
managers and corporations of the
North c0erced or influenced their
employees to vote the Republican
ticket and claimed the cotton plant
ers Of the South had the same
privilege. Mr.. Shattuc denied any
such coercian in very rude langu-
age and thds went off to attack
what he called "the calamity how
lers" who he said came from "the
extreme ends of civilization
Texas and the Northwest. He at
tackled this civilization and Mr..
Green, Populist rose to reply. Mr..
Shattuce stated that he had been
thirty yeaIs a railroad manager
and knew many of the managers
and employees and had never known
"a calamity bowler" among them.
Mr.. Greene turned this state
ment upon Shattuce, showing that
the railway managers mady calam-
ity howlers by robbing everybody
and gre v rich on the work of 9th
er men. Mr., Fox also replied and
betweel the Democrat and the
Populist Mr.. Shattuce was badly
used up, for both these men made
strong points on him, and Shatiuc's
only answer to them was "it is a
false statement" when ia fact
every statement made can be
| proven,

som, curiou, Compliments.

The compliments paid by the poor
are often put in an amusing way. One
old lady who was very fond OF the rec,
tor said to Mr.. Bernays: you know
sir, us likes the rector, is ears is so
clean!"-surely an odd reason for pa.
rochial affection. Another admirer
once declared with regard to the
whole staff of clergy you are all SO
plain "a word of high commenda-
tion), "but as for tie vicar, 'es beau
tiful!" The greatest compliment
though at the same time the most GU
rious Mr.. Bernays ever heard, was
paid by a working man to certain
bishop, famous for his simple kindli-
ness: what likes bout the bishop
Is 'e's not a gentleman"

Io.ono nIilen of street Cars.

There are in the United States street
railway and traction lines, city, subur-
ban and inter-urban, aggregating 1886
miles in length, or enough to make
nearly five complete lines from New
York city to San Francisco. These
figures which are corrected up to De-
cember /, show an increase in mile
age of 2,780 within two years. To
operate these roads requires 2S,154 pas
senger cars, 20,ii7 motor cars, zoe
dummies and 2S,621 horses. Since
1891 the number of horses has declined
10000 or so per cent.

The question is again being discuss
ed whether marriage gives husband
the right to open and read his wife's
letters. Fifty years ago this right
was never questioned, but in America
of late the courts have taken the
ground that this right does not exist.
A decision to that effect is quoted as a
curiosity in France, where 1t is held
that a wife has no right TO private
correspondence. European laws i'm
Ply that wife may not demand pri-
vacy in her correspondence, but that
she and her husband are one and he is
that onesI.fQr she is strictly forbidden
to read or open his letters and even if
they are left lying around she has no
legal right to use any information
she may extract from them which is
damaging to her husband. On the 9TH
er hand, her husband is upheld even
when he employs treachery in getting
hold of her letters.

The Young Acitator.

He had been reclining across his
tather's knee in an attitude somewhat
lacking in elegance. When he was re-
leased he wiped the moisture from his
syes and sat himself carefully down on
the softest sofa pillow.
Father" he said, 81 decidedly OBJ
ject to your method of handling this
affair"
His father looked up in surprise.
"And why so, sonny?"
Because" replied the youthful
statesman, it smacks too much Of
paternalism!"

THE MINISTER'S WIFE.

She's little and modest and purity,
AS fresh as a rose, and as sweet;
Her children don't ever look dirty.
Her kitchen amt noway but neat.
She's the kind of a woman to cherish,
A help to a feller through life;
Yet every old hen in the parish
Is down on the minister's wife.
Twas Mrs. Lige Hawkins begun IT.;
She alters has had the idee
That the church was built SOS she
could,run it,
Cause Hawkins is deacon, you see.
She thought that the hull congregation
Jest marched to the tune of her fife
But she found twas a wrong calkula-
ton
Applied to the minister's wifo.
Then Mrs. Jedge Jinks got excited,
She thinks she's the hull upper
When she heerd the Smiths was in
vited
To meetin', she quit in disgust.
You may have all the paupers you
choose to,
SeZ size, jest dS SIldI u DIS d hlllc,
"But if they go to church l refuse to-"
"Good-bye!" sez the minister's wife.
And then Mrs. Jackson got stuffy
AT her not coming sooner to call,
And old Mrs. MacGregor is huffy
Cause she went up to Jackson's at
all.
Each one of the crowd hates the other,
The church has been full of their
strife,
But now they're all hatin' another,
And that ones the Minister'S wife.
But still, all the cackle unheeding,
she goes in her ladylike way,
A-givin' the poor what they're needin'
And helpin' the church every day.
Our numbers each Sunday is swellin'
And real, true religion is rife,
And sometimes l feel like a-yellin',
Three cheers for the ministers
wife!"
Joe Lincoln in Puck.

a Character.

a Character.
He sowed, and hoped for reaping-
A happy man and wise;
The clouds-they did his weeping,
The wind-it sighed his sighs.
He made what Fortune brought him
The limit of desire;
Thanked God for shade in summer
days,
In winter time. for fire.
When tempest, as with vengeful rod,
His earthly mansion cleft,
On the blank sod, he still thanked God
Life and the land were left!
Content his earthly race he ran,
And died-so people say
Some ten years later than the man
Who worried his life away.

Washington, Dec. 9.-TranSpOrtation
ish prisoners surrendered at Santiago
was taken up by the war investigation
committee today. Colonel Hecker, who
contracted for the United States, was
recalled. He said there had been a
combine of New York shipping concerns
which would have caused an outlay of
81 400, 900, while the actual outlay was
only $4,000. The lowest bid was from a
Philadelphia junk dealer, who had no
visible means of executing his contract.
He protested against not being allowed
the contract on the ground he had
"chance to make some money out of it. y
When asked if he had ever been ap-
preached by Abner Mckinley relative to
the purchase of ships, Colonel Hecker
replied: Never but once. He spoke to
me once about a water barge for which
there was no use at the time, and l so
informed him.
What part did the firm of which Ab-
ner Mckinley is a member play in the
sale of ships?" asked Ex-Governor
Woodbury.. "None at all, as to the
army" replied Hecker Asked as to the
charge, by one Ryan, that there was a
subordinate in Hecker's office who eX-
ercised much influence and could be ap-
preached, Colonel Hecker replied that
the negotiations were conducted direct
ly, and no subordinate could nave eSer-
cised any influence.
