The people who want-and do not
soruple to ask for-favors from public
men are sometimes SO unreasonable as
almost to deserve rude answer. Such
an answer, for example, as The Golden
Penny quotes:
A certain novelist, not unknown to
fame, received from lady an unstamp-
ed letter asking the loan of his book, on
the plea that she could not obtain it at
the booksellers in her town. His reply
was worded as follows:
DEAR MADAM-In the town where you re-
side there appears to be lack of all sorts Of
things which are easily procurable elsewhere
not only of my recent work, but also of post
age stamps for letters. ! have in my posses
sion, it is true, the book you desire to obtain
and also the stamps to pay its carriage but,
to my regret, l am without the necessary
string to make it into parcel. If you can
supply me with piece, 1 am at your service. Z"

There was nothing of ''the stocks and

James NJ. Scovel in Lippipcott's. His IA

own modest mansion to the east of the

No man ever pursued an adversary in

he was a favorite on both sides of the house.

Whipped the Four Hundred.

An officer of the steamer Empress of
Japan, recently arrived at Vancouver
from the orient, tells of an exciting
street fight which he witnessed in the
streets of Hongkong prior to the sailing
of his vessel. There are many sailors in
that harbor attached to the war vessels
Of various nations, and they imbibe
strong national prejudices as they watch
the international game in the east. The
trouble started in a saloon. The Rus
sian sailors combined with the French
and Germans and formed double line
down narrow street and dared any
Johnny Bull or Yankee to pass.
The English and American sailors
joined forces and found they mustered
$50 to the enemy's 400. Nothing daunt-
ed, they seized lot of jinrikishas, form
ed wedge with them and rushed on
the foreigners with cheer. They broke
the line, smashed the jinrikishas and
continued the fight with fists and pieces
of the debris until as the informant
relates, they had the 400 allies badly
whipped. The din was dreadful, but
above it rose the singing of ''America"
and "God Save the Queen" both, of
course, to the same tune. The authori-
ties were powerless and appealed to the
commanders of the warships, who or
dered the men to stop. and the HOSTILE
ties ceased.
Thus has been begun the much talked
of Anglo-Saxon alliance against the
world. -Argonaut.

Australian Curiosities.

There are some curious things in central
Australia. According to Professor Bald
win Spencer, Lake Amadeus In the dry
season is merely sheet Of salt. Ayers
rock, about five miles round, rises abrupt
ly from the desert Formerly vast rivers
flowed here, and the .diprotodoton, wom-
batlike creature, worthy of it's name and
four times as large as kangaroo, flourish
ed on the plains. Now there are hardly
any animals to be seen The fish live in
water holes of the hills until the floods
wash them down to the valleys. At the
end of the wet season the water frogs fill
themselves with water, roll themselves in
the mud and lie low till the next rains,
which may not come for two years. Mean
while the provident frog, like the ''mousie'
of Robert Burns, may have the misfortune
to furnish drink to a thirsty black. The
natives also get water from the roots OF
trees. They are in the totem" stage and
revere certain plants or animals which
protect them Men of one group can only
marry women from another single group.

THE SONG OF SIGNS.

There sits maid where the winds of the viii
derness finger her hair
And the far stars mock and steal the lustel
and light of her eyes,
Where a terrible moan Of silence and sadness
sickens the air,
Where the shivering earth lies cold meath
the sheeted mists that rise.
Still at her lattice she sits, and a heart SAD
song she sings
(Song of signs it is, has been and shall evel
be),
love is the king of all, tyrant king of kings
A cruel tyrant Of kings, and my love he
loves not me-"
Aaron Mason in Harpers Magazine.

cause of his lowly position, to ask her
to be his wife. Now that they were
both on the same level financially she
might look with more favor on his suit.
Elena accepted the proposal, but she
could not, out of respect to her father
memory, marry within year. So she
asked Alfred if he could not meantime
secure for her position with the CIRCUS
with which he had travelled.
That's how Elena Ryland came to be
bareback rider in big circus. Why
she is not the wife of Alfred Julian is
another story. Alfred concluded to go
to Paris and finish his studies, while
Elena was waiting for the year to elapse
until they could be united in marriage.
Elena was successful as a daring rider,
and within few months after she
started with the one ring show she re-
oeived an offer from the Ringlings. She
has been with them for the last three
years.
Julian never came back from Paris
He took sick and died Of pneumonia.
Miss Ryland did not even know that he
had been i'll until she received word of
his death. His body was laid to rest in
France.
The news of her lovers demise was a
terrible shock to Miss Ryland, and for
two weeks after the information reach
ed her she was too i'll to fill her part
For year she rode in mourning cos
tune, and even now she wears black
most of the time. She is quiet and does
not mingle much with the rest of the
performers Her mother travels with
her. The young woman rarely speaks
of her love affair and its sad ending,
and very few of her friends know the
story of her life. 1t is such an unhappy
story, too, that the young folks in the
big, jolly aggregation of performers do
not like 60 hear 1t. st. Louis Republic

His weakness was prevarication. His
wife detested lying and constantly urged
him to mend his ways. One morning
she said: "Will, see if you can't be per.
fectly truthful today. Don't tell lie.
Now, promised" He promised and went
away to work When he came home to
dinner, she said:
Dear, did you keep your promise?"
81 did, he replied soberly.
Then he caught her in his arms.

"Y-yes,' said the clerk, producing

more than he did.
"Y yes. !"

brand. The girl was evidently III love
with the Frenchman, and in his despair
the young ranchman did not much care
what these desperadoes did with him.
Suddenly his enemies ran for their
horses and climbed heller SHELTER into
their saddles. Penryn, with his head
hanging upon his breast, paid slight at
tention, but when the swift beat of
horses hoofs smote upon his ear he
wondered vaguely if more of Perriots
men were coming.
He raised his head. The Mexicans
were crossing the stream again, plying
spur and lash as they went. One of
them, the man who had already struck
him, turned in his saddle and fired at
the figure tied to the tree, but the bull
let few wide of its mark.
The pounding of hoofs increased, and
pouring over a neighboring rise came a
party of wildly riding cowboys. Penryn
looked again and recognized old Jase
Howard at their head. He cried aloud
to him and then hung limp upon his
bonds.
He came to himself again in mo-
ment. Jase had him lying upon the
grass, and he found himself choking
over some of "the real stuff" which the
foreman had forced between his lips.

A LIGHT WOMAN.

She had as many loves as she had follies.
And all her light loves sang her praises,
But now beneath a tangle of sea hollies
And pale sea daisies,
Here at the limit of the hollow shore,
Folly and praise are covered meetly DER.
We will not tell her beads of beauty over.
All that we say and all we leave unsaid
Be buried with her now, since there's no lover
But scatters on her bed
Pansies for thoughts and woodruff white as she
And, for remembrance, quiet rosemary.
Here is the end Of laughter, and here wither
Sorrow and mirth, here dancing feet fall still
Here where the pinks flower and fade to.

SulkyH Oh, nayi
Not me-not May.
And sad-can't be,
Not May-not me.
But why
Should !
Not be thoughtful sometimes
And reflect on my crimes
And refuse,
If choose,
Now and then to be sportful2
Does the sun shine always as strongf
Do the seasons never changer
Is life ever right, never wrongP
Can we these matters arrange2
Contrasts are welcome and pleasant
To peer, to poet or peasant,
And our moods as they pass,
Like the sand, through the glass,
If they're left to run out,
Very soon turn about,
And the thought in the face
Then to laughter gives place,
And gravity changes to mirth.
30 then, my dear dad,
It's not very bad,
Nor sulky nor sad am ever,
Though just a wee bit
OF a thoughtful fit
Will possess me spite my endeavor.
