The serenader stopped beneath the win
dow. He unslung his guitar and touched its
strings softly and lovingly. Then he looked
about the dark shadows of the garden and
along the line of fence that marked the
street end of the handsome premises.
Nothing was in sight.
Looking again at the window, the youth
ran his fingers swiftly across the strings,
and then, lifting up his head and opening his
mouth until the moonlight gittered on his
teeth, he began in a shrill tenor:
"Oh, don't you remember"
But he got no further.
The window above suddenly opened and
large, heavily-framed engraving of the
battleship Maine was dropped from within
and fell squarely on the singers head
"Oh, we remember all right" shouted a
hoarse voice from above
And the startled singer gathered himself
together and sadly and painfully went his
way.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

WOrships His Ancestors.

The custom of ancestral worship has
as firm a hold on the emperor of Corea
as on his humblest subject. Once every
two years King Ye-Hui visits the tombs
of his ancestors. The little matched
houses in the center of the broad ave-
nue. are removed to make room for the
royal procession, and, as little notice is
given, the scene is often one of indie
scribable confusion. The king is car
ried in state sedan chair, and to baf-
file any of his enemies who have muir
derous intentions, duplicates of this
chair are carried at different places in
the procession.-St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat.

A fashionable club at Warsaw, bent
on dispensing with handshaking among

premises on assembly nights, has in

otto. An artificial arm, dressed in the
conventional black cloth sleeve is art
fully attached to the door of the chief
salon. The hand is invitingly extend
ed to all corners. On crossing the
threshold the members are expected to
grasp the hand with every exhibition
OF cordiality, bowling courteously in
doing so, thereby Kidding themselves of
the Inconvenience of shaking hands all
around.-Chicago Evening News.

More than 80 years ago Lachlan Nc
Donald left his home in Strathspey,
Scotland, and went to the shores of
Lake Winnipeg. He did not neglect to
carry with him his beloved bagpipe,
and many an evening it spoke to him
of the old home beyond the seas. Even
in the daytime, when he was busy in the
woods telling trees, he would have it
by his side, and on one occasion he had
reason to be glad that it was so near.
He was merrily swinging his AK, when
he was suddenly surrounded by a party
of Indians, who looked very formid-
able as they drew nearer, gesticulat-
ing in particularly threatening man
ner. Things began to seem ominous,
when a happy thought came to the
Scotchman. Selling his bagpipe, he
blew blast so loud and long and shrill
that the startled red men looked upon
him for moment in CONSERVATION, and
then took to their heels, never stopping
till the thick shadows of the forest hid
them from the man who could give
vent to such an unearthly scream
They did not forget that prolonged cry;
from that time the Scotchman was
known among them as the great
screamer of the pale faces. youths
