this sort of thing down with a very de- cided frown that means, "If you keep this up, go." Then a riddle is asked It is in regard to lady who wears her gowns very decollete and whose bones are built for evidence, since they are very plainly seen. Some one inquires, "Why is Miss Montague like an un- touched negative?" and the answer comes from one of the men, Because there is too much exposure and not enough development" and in the sum- mer time this is regarded as wit.
 After dinner there is a dance. Then Jack takes the girl from the south down among the rocks to pick up the moonstones that sparkle on the sand and which seem to freeze into hard gems as they are held in her hand. Then something is whispered to her about the moonstone giving good luck, and my lady whispers back somewhat saucily that it does to gamblers, and

he evidently answers, "Yes," for he puts his arm around her and tells her he is going to try his chance for the last time, and that sinister old man in the moon says, though they do not hear him, "Ah ha, my master, the moon- stone has brought you a full hand!" But it seems to me that if he saw her face-well, he would realize that it was a royal flush and Master Jack could congratulate himself on gaining some thing more precious than a mere sum- mer girl.
 Then they go back, and there is a long talk on the veranda, and the pre- cious moonstCne is to be set in dia- monds to make a ring for somebody, and Jack kisses somebody good night, and a happy, healthy girl goes and whispers it all to her nlother-that is, nearly all, because there are always some things better left unsaid The tulle gown is off, the golden hair is brushed, and a wonderfully beribboned and embroidered nightdress is put on, and the little maid goes to bed to dream of Jack and the man in the moon and that there was a mint julep that had a moonstone inside of lump of sugar in it and that Jack and the man in the moon were arranging something about a house that was to be hers, way down south.

 My Lady Caprice comes in. Her maid is to the fore, and in less than an hour she is on the veranda dressed in pink gingham and looking flushed and pretty, like the rose that Thackeray wrote about, Then she will tell you quite confiden- tially: Some of the men have julep made with brandy, but at home they use the same recipe they did when General Washington paid them visit and approved of it. Nothing will con- vince me that good rye whisky isn't the proper thing to use. And the idea of an ignorant barkeeper daring to hint at using such a floury thing as powdered instead of loaf sugar."

 A few years after the colony at Plym- outh had been planted by the little

Home she comes and finds that another thought ful admirer has sent her julep and is waiting for her to go off with him in his tandem.

irrigation and reported by Senator War

arid land states to reclaim their desert
lands. 1t provides that only lands
which are not valuable for timber or min
eral or agriculture without irrigation
shall be granted under the proposed law.
The lands are to be patented to the sew
eral states, and they are in turn to be
rented, leased or sold by the states under
such laws and regulations as may be pre-.
scribed by the state legislatures. The
proceeds of the land sales are to be de-
voted by each state to the reclamation of
the arid lands left undisposed of.

II I Should Die,

A good story is told OF two old timers
in Yakima that has never been printed
before. The characters are Joe and Kei-
fer for want of better names. Joe was
little slow in his payments and pioneer
merchant OF North Yakima. who was
noted for bis close collect ons, had dunned
Joe until he got tired. One night Joe
dreamed that he was walking past Kei-
fer's store on the avenue, when friend
accosted him with, "Sav, Joe, did you
hear what happened to Keifer?"
mo-" said Joe.
why, he dropped dead this morning
in his store and he's lying there now (;
come in and see him."
Joe went in and took a farewell look at
his old dun and was turning away sadly
to depart, when Keller suddenly arose in
bis coffin and feebIy croaked out, Joe.
can't you kindly pay me that little bal
ance you owe me-" and then he quietly
dropped back dead again. This affecting
incident was the probable inspiration of
this poem, by Ben King:
II should die to. night
And you should come to my cold corpse and say,
Weeping and heartsick DER my lifeless clay
II should die tonight
And you should come in deepest grief and woe
And say, Here's that ten dollars that owe
might arise in my large white cravat
And say, whats that"
III should die tonight
And you should come to my cold corpse and
kneel,
Clssping my bier to show the grief you feel
say, If should die tonight
And you should come to me and there and then
Just even hint of paying me that ten,
might arise the while
But I'd drop dead again.
