sisters of the family whose hazardous
attempts at emulation were summarily
checked by the maternal admonition
that, whistling girls and growing hens
always come to some bad ends. Ask
the judge, the editor, the minister, the
professor, the doctor or the business
man, whose locks Time has sprinkled
with the SHOWS of many winters, and
he can yet recall the earnestness with
which he puckered UP his lips in the
first awkward attempt at a whistle,
and the pride when he could finally
acknowledge complete mastery Of a
tune. Whistling was an audible express
sion Of every passing mood, grave or
gay. 1t was a solace in sorrow, a sat-
isfaction in pleasure, and support in
difficulty. Trained parental ears
could frequently detect just by a boys
whistle whether he had been conduct
ing himself in a manner becoming a
youth who said his prayers regularly.
All this is changed. The blithesome
whistle of the boy rarely enlivens the
air Of the city street, and they tell us
that even in the country whistling is
not what it used to be. A little
longer, and it may be that Whittier's
inimitable portrait of the barefoot boy
with his turned up pantaloons and his
merry whistled tunes may have to be
revised or future generations will be at
a loss to know what the poet means.

Her Gallant Cavalier.

81 think him the very embodiment of
chivalry and gallantry," said Ethel
Hunt, enthusiastically.
She was a dark-cheeked, diamond
eyed girl of Is, with braids of blue
black hair coiled around the back of
her small Greek-shaped head, and a
color as rich and velvety as the side
of July peach.
"Humph!' said Aunt Sara. Give
heard girls talk so before, and it gen
orally ended in one thing"
For shame, Aunt Sara!" cried
Ethel, coloring up to her eyelashes.
IT only mean, of course, that he is a
very agreeable companion
Now, this Aunt Sara of our little
Ethel was no specialized spinster of an
uncertain age nor portly, pillow-shap-
ed widow with the photograph Of her
dear, departed husband worn, locket-
shaped, upon her bosom-but pretty
young woman Of four or five-and-
twenty, with bright blue eyes and
hair all streaked with golden CLEANS.

cupation of making up her wedding
clothes.
can agreeable companion, of course, .
said Aunt Sara. Look, Ethel, do you
think white Maltese lace or French
blonde, with a heading of Roman
pearls, would be prettiest for this
berthe?"
Aunt Sara knew when to drop a sub
ject and when to hold on to it. But
while Ethel was stitching the quilt
ing of French blonde on to the white
silk dress her young aunt's mind was
busy upon the topic she had appar-
emily abandoned.
"The disagreeable fellow thought

Ethel has money, and he is determined
to win it. If she could only see him in
his true light; but I know what per-
verse thing woman's heart is. Just
as sure as I attempted to tell her what
he really is she'll make up her mind
that he is the finest and least appre-
ciated parsonage on the face of the
earth. And do so want to keep her
heart whole until Everard Grafton

THE WEAVER.
eside the loom of life I stand

Beside the loom of life I stand
And watch the busy shuttle go.
The threads [ hold within my hand
Make up the filing, strand on strand,
They slip my fingers through, and so
This web Of mine fills out apace,
While I stand ever in my place.
One time the wool is smooth and fine
And colored with sunny dye;
Again the threads so roughly Irvine
And weave so darkly line on line
My heart misgives me. Then would [
Fain lose this web-begin anew
But that, alas! [ can not do.
Some day the web will all be done,
The shuttle quiet in it's place,
From out my hold the threads be run;
And friends at setting of the sun
Will come to look upon my face,
And say: mistakes she made not few,
Yet wove perchance as best she
knew"

Roller Yachting.

Save during the rainy season Lake
LEROY, in Western Australia, is quite
dry. But as the water evaporo&es as
the hot weather approaches a smooth,
CLASSY floor Of crystalline salt is depos-
tied. Those living on the shores have
found a means of utilizing this. All
boats which sail on the lake when pos
sible are, during the dry season, fitted
with four wheels, and thus are enabled
to continue their travels. AS Lake
LEROY has an area of over 100 miles,
and the surrounding country is ex-
tremely rough, this means a great saw
ing in expense, labor and time. The
speed attained by these wheeled yachts
is very considerable, though not quite
equal to the pace of the ice yachts so
popular in Canada.

WHAT Ell pASO ESCAPED.
Railroads Out Of Las Vegas Regret
That the Show Dlsbanded

FL Paso was perhaps lucky after all
in escaping as the point OF dtsbandtng
of the Main show.
A railroad man in from Las Vegas
says trainmen there are having all
kinds of trouble with the rif-raff and
tough element who we're only paid in
part by the show people and were left
behind.
Superintenden Hurley of the Rio
Grande division of the Santa Fe has
been appealed to by the business men
crowd, and get them away.
The fairy story reeled out In Ell Paso
by the advance agent was the prob
ability of this place being selected as
winter O nsrters. This didn't do much
good, aud our merchants were not lead
into offering contributions.
In Las Vegas, however, accord ing to
the Optic, a few days before the ar
rival of the show one of their advance
hold-ups induced a number of business
men in the city 20 pay the license for
the show in consideration of the circus
closing there and paying off the men,
the aforesaid hold-up saying that all
the attaches of the show would receive
considerable "hold back" money.
When the train was all loaded and
ready to start they commenced pay
ing OH the neip, OHGrlDg CQom, IL ID
said, from S. to $40 less than what
was coming to them telling them that
they were fined to that extent, for dis
obedience, etc. Many of the employ
es signed receipts for the full amount
due them. When the train finally
pulled out there was large mum Der Of
the show people on the train; these to
the number of thirty Or forty were put
off at the cut about a mile above town,
%
''hold back" were left without money
enough to get out of town.
The most hard-hesrted aud cruel
act of brutality On the part of the show
people. however, was the leaving be-
hind of the poor crippled, deformed
and utterly helpless ''stsrved Cuban"
advertised by them as the Cuban pa
triot, Joe Martin. He told q reporter
OF the Optic that the show owed him
$40. The poor fellow, who is utterly
helpless, was taken to the Home and
is being taken care of by charity.
