Natural Mistake.

According to a story told on Ger

be had a notifying adventure. He
has a phenomenally large neck, and
lately had occasion to change his laun-
iryman On the Sunday morning fol-
lowing this action on his part, it was
noticed that he was an unusually long
time making his toilet. He called his
wife, and she went upstairs. Maria"
he said, 81 wish you would see what
is the matter with this shirt. The
sleeves are all wrong, and can't find
any holes for the collar buttons" Mrs.
Swadleigh gave one look at it, and
went into a paroxysm Of laughter. He
waited till she had partially recovered,
and then said: Perhaps you will be
good enough to tell me what you are
laughing att" George" she replied,

Comfort for Women.

Some time ago Pullman's Palace Car
company built three parlor cars for
the B. G. O.'s New York trains, and the
radical departure from other cars OF
this character lay in the toilet room
for ladies, which was eight feet in
length. Recently the same company
has built eight new sleepers for the
New York-St Louis line of the B. & o.,
and the designer of the cars has evil
IDENTIFY been impelled by the popular
lty of the ladies' retiring room ID tAs
parlor cars to give to the ladies vast
deal more space than they ever had De-
lore in sleeping cars. These new cars
are said by the Pullman people to pc
the finest they ever turned out, ana
the ladies' retiring room is exceeding
ly commodious, and contains, besides
other toilet necessities, dresser win
q long pier glass. The cars are nm
ished in vermillion wood, decorated
with inlaid marquetry work, and the
upholstery on the backs and seats is
entirely new and different from any
heretofore used, being sort or mo-
quette with a dark green border and
center pattern of bright color. A SIM
liar design of ornamentation has been
applied to the ceiling, giving the car
an arabesque effect. They are also
supplied with all the modern april
ances. such as wide vestibules, anti
telescoping device, air pressure water
system and are lighted with Pintsch
gas. A very pleasing effect is obtained
by the oval windows of opalescent
glass, the first that has been used in
the construction Of the sleeping cars.

employee of one of the large paper mills in

DEAR LITTLE FACE.

Dear little face so full of trust
That now is all believing,
Dear little face that some dav must
Find life filled with deceiving,
Dear little face that draws to mine
Nor dreams of dreaded danger,
Would could keep you to the end
To disappointment stranger!
Dear little face that asks to know
The mystery of living,
Dear little face that years will show
The life was made for giving,
Dear little face where lines will grow
And deepen with life's sadness,
Would could keep you from the low,
Replacing grief with gladness!
Dear little face, how can YOU meet
A world, strong men defying?
Dear little one, why must you hear
The sOrrOwing and crying?
Dear little facet dare not dream
But, praying here above you,
draw you closer in my arms
God knows how we'll | love You!

And she's witty and clever, well read

CHRYSANTHEHU us.

with summer and sun behind you,
with winter and shade before,
You crowd in your regal splendOr
Through the autumn's closing door.
White as the snow that is coming,
Red as the rose that is gone,
Gold as the heart of the Ii les,
Pink as the flush of the dawn,
Confident, winsome, stately,
You thrOng in the wane of the year,
TrOoping an army with banners
When the leafless woods are sere.
Sweet is your breath as of spices
From a far sea island blown,
Chaste your robes as of vestalS
Trimming their lamps alone.
Strong are your hearts, and sturdy
The life that in root and stem
Shoulders and glows till it sparkles
In each tlowery diadem.
Nothing of bloom and odor
Have your peerless legions lost,
Marching in fervid beauty
TO challenge the death white frost.
So to the eye Of sorrow
We bring a flicker of light;
The cheek that was wan with illness
Smiles at your faces bright,
The children laugh in greeting,
And the dear old people say,
"Here are the selfsame darlings
We loved in our own young day."
AS summer and sun behind you,
Winter and shade before,
You crowd in regal splendor
Through autumn's closing door.

IN THE BRooD1NG INDIAN SUMMER

In the brooding Indian summer and the
still November days,
There's the faintest hint of pathos
'mongst the winding rural ways;
Falling leaves are like the going of the
hopes we once held dear,
And the runnel's song falls lonely as a
dirge upon the ear;
Crickets-tiny postmen whistling on
the routes DER which they GO
Seem to bring tender message from
the friends we used to know;
And we hear old vices tailSing, see old
faces through the haze,
In the broOding Indian summer and the
still November days.
Where persimm0ns dangle tempting
little nuggets as of gold
And the sumac glows in scarlet like a
bloody flag unrOll'd,
Now and then the mellowed tinklings
of a cOwbell wander by
On the air that is scarce stronger than 6
dreaming seraph's sigh;
There is something IN the silence sweet
er than the sweetest rhymes-
For the Still Small Voice seems nearer
clearer than at other times,
And we pause, halfway expecting
heavens music through the haze
In the brooting Indian summer and tn,
still November days!
