TIE QUEEN OF M

THE QUEEN OF THE BALL.
1t was many years since Darrell Court had
heen so gay. Sir Oswald had resolved that
the ball should be one that should reflect
credit on the giver and the guests. He had
ordered o tine band of music and a magnii-
cent banquet. The grounds were to he illumi-
mated, color,d lamps being placed among the
trecsi the ballroom was a gorgeous mass of
brilliant bloon-tier after tier of magnificent
flowers was ranged along the walls. white
statues cleaning from the bright foliage
and little fountains here and there sending
up their fragrant spray.
Sir Oswald had sent to London for some
one to supefintend the decorations: but thew
were not perfected until Miss Darrell, pass
ing through, suggested first one alteration.
and then another, until the %orlginators, re.
cognizing her superior artistic.judgment and
picturesque taste, deferred to her. and then
the decorations became a magnificent work
of art. -
Sir Oswald declared himself delighted. and
the captains praises were unmeasured.
Then, and then only, Miss Darrell began to
feel some interest in the ball; her love OF
beauty was awakened and pleased-there
was something more in the event than the
mere qualification OF seeing people dance.
The expected visitors had arrived on Tho
Tuesday-Lady Hampton, radiant with OK
pected victory; E!iiior, silent, thoughtful.
ana more gentle than ever, and consequently
more pleasing.
Lady Hampton was delighted with tho
idea of the ball.

AN AMUSING EPISODE.
Showing How Bloobumper's Remarks to
His Friend spatts Were veriGeo.

1.-THE great bane of American life is
too much haste" said Mr.. B.oohumpcr
to his friend Mr.. Spatts, Us the two rode
downtown together On the way to BUSH
ness. according to Judge.
"Yon are right" assented Spatts.
1T is the incessant hurry and worry,
tho going at lightning speed, rs though
We had only today to live, which saps
our vitality as u nation by undermining
the vital forces Of each individual"
As MIR. Bloobnmper finished his
sentence he drew from the inside pocket
of his coat y long memorandum book
and passed his finger through its con-
tents. He gave a little start and in
spected the papers it contained more
carefully. Then he jumped up and
yelled to the conductor:
Eli, there! Stop the car, quick!|
II can't stop in the middle of tho
block, sir" replied the conductor.
"You must wait till you get tic the next
corner"
"Bnt you must stop now, l say It's
a matter OF the most importance. Pm
in a dreadful hurry"
impossible, sir; but we'll DO at the
next corner in q few seconds"
Mr.. B1oobumper seemed too excited
to tell Mr.. Spatts the cause of his sudden
perturbation while the car sped on. but
when the next corner was reached the
two got off, and while MI. %Bloobumper
was waiting for the next car back he
said to Mr.. Spatts:
Before left home / signed a blank
check, intending to bring it to the city
with me. l must have left it on my desk
in the library.
1T will be perfectly safe. I should
think, Mr.. Spatts ventured.
"Safe!" roarcd ~B!oobumper. IF my
wife gets hold of that check she'll have
NIL the cash l have out of that bank in
side Of an hour. My only hope is that
she hasn't been in the library by the
time l get back home"
The car came along and bore his
friend away. while Mr.. Spatts stood and
mused. Before he left the corner he
saw speeding by him in another car
Mrs. Bloobumper. She wore a salts
fed smile and was clearly bent on a
Joyous days shopping. Mr.. Spatts
took out his watch and figured that she
would reach the bank and be gone again
fully three-quarters of an hour before
her husband could get home. find his
check gone aud then hasten to the bank
after her.

What Was the Apparition

Some people are always having Pr
sentiments" said Elmer L. Chickson Of
Cincinnati, "and l always make it .
point to steer clear of such uncanny
folks. Inever had but one and as that
endc'l in nothing at all I am always
ready to tell it to people when l hear
them talking about their superstitions.
Ono hot summer afternoon l went to
my room to lie down. l had no dispo-
sition to sleep and in fact was v
wider awake in my life. The rest of the
family We're al! in a distant part of the
house. AS l lay there alone. trying to
cool off, there suddenly appeared at the
open door an object that seemed like my
idea of what the angel of death would
be. 1t approached the bed on which |
lay, and placing two arrows oyer my
heart. snid in . hollow hut perfectly

II will not take you now, l will call
for you Sept. 90
Then it disappeared as suddenly q
it came,
Il arose from the bed with great
bends of perspiration running down my
tacc and must coufess that I was thor
oughly scared, butt had sense enough
moi to relate my experience to any OF
the family until after the day set by tins

Then the visitors departed; not, however, lun-

Autumn Moonlight


The moon is up at half past five,
She ~frightens me among the pines
The mooa. and only half past five.
With half the rudy day alive!
So soon, SO high. SO full she shines,
This daylight moon, among the pines.
The moon is walking up the wood,
her face is very white and strange
The moon is coming through the wood,
Her face half hidden in her hood:
Gold silver cheek whose hourly change
Blanches her face more white. NOR
strange.
The moon beneath the pine tree stands.
Her weary face is full of dreams
The moon by yonder pine tree stands.
she builds a palace with her hands,
piilars OF silver. shafts. and beams,
She builds a palace for her-ireams.
The moon is sleeping in the trees,
So early is she tired of heaven
The moon is dreaming In the trees.
Her shepherd-boy she sees, she sees;
~Asleep-and 1t is barely seven!
o moon. that Is so tired of heaven.

Value OF Conf Aahes.

City Government. The report cf Gels; 81
Waring, superintendent of the. street
cleaning department ofsNewsYork, makes
detailed reference to an Investigation
which which has been going ON for about
a-year looking to the possibility OF deyel-
oping a money value from the coal ashes
OF domestic Ares. This investigation has
been In charge of Macdonough Craven, G.
Hersche!S. koyl and Joseph "A. Shinn,
whose abtIttysas experts give the results
reached Ethe appearance OF trustworthf-
the facts.ssHe says that New York Is now
collecting 100000 loads of domestic ashes
annually. or about !. 1000 cubic Yards.
Repeated 8analysls&ot these ashes show
that they contain 20 per cent OF recover
able coal. 15 per cent of clinker. so @per
sent of fine ash and Is per cent of coarse
ash and stone g5
On these percentages 1T Is possible for
any city TO estimate the money value
contained in its collected ashes. The fig
lures York are Instructive as an H.
lustration. Thus It Is. found thai from the
LOO, 600 cubic yards annually obtained
a44,o9 tons Of coal. $50, eco cubic yards of
clinkef, 100000 cubic yards of fine ash and
10000 CUBIC yards of coarse ash and stone
are derived. The coal cansbe sold. at $3.50
a ton. for $500. 600: the clinker, at is cents a
yard, for sl35, COO, and the fine ash, at Is
cents q yard, for $l6s,0o0. making a total
of 1868 600 as the possible income from this
source. From this sum there must be TAX
en- the cost OF separating the ashes Into
their elements. Il expense is estimated
to be12h cents a cubic yard, which implies
nm expenditureaof $150,OM Hence a net
profit OF yer 5000 can be derived from
the supplyzof domestic ashes in New York.
