A BACHELOR GIRLS soLrLoouy.
BY VIII s. Richardson.

Alone I sit,
AT home and knit,
Without It's dark and dreary;
Upon the mat
Is pug, the cat
Upon my lap purrs CHEEKY.
From men I shrink,
Because ! think
No man can make home cheerful.
A wife, then rife
Is strife for life,
With man to make her fearful.
To club at nine
To dine and wine
With snobs till dawn of morning,
In maudlin state
At home, berate
His wife, and castle storming.
At office, store,
From eight till four,
For strangers smiles at meeting
No smile at home,
In bear like tone
He growls at kiss of greeting.
l envy not
The girl who caught
A man, for all are scaly;
in fact, they smart
To break your heart;
If dull, glum, stale and snaily.
To sit and knit
With pug and kit
And hear dear polly talking
Is dull enough,
But not so rough
AS babies ceaseless squawking.
But with delight
I'll ride my bike,
And thank the stars above me
That / am yet
A girl you bet!
And have no man to love me.
This stuff about
Old maids is out
OF date and long turned under.

And want no match,
So men can go to thunder!

Mrs. Cynthia Bradford, of this city,

Sam, for carrying the mails between
Marietta and Flints Mills, this county.
Mrs. Bradfords contract is to take
effect July 1st.

The famous "Brocken" scene in
Faust" is a fascinating reproduction
of the orgies supposed to have occur
red in the Hartz Mountains on Wal
purgls Night. Saint Walpurga, who
went to Germany with Boniface,
has his advent there chronicled in the
calendar as May 1, hence the appella
tlon of Walpurgis Night Supersti
tion has assigned that night as the
time of the annual meeting of the
witches, when spells were cast, augur-
les told, and general feast of fiendish
revelry reigned. The possibilities for
wonderful scenic and mechanical ef-
fects have been cleverly grasped by
Lewis Morrison, who gives to this
scene this season the most elaborate
and intricate setting it has ever receiv
ed. Mr.. Morrison himself is seen in
his original creation of the fiend,
"Mephisto," and nothing can be i'm
agined more gruesome and creepy than
to witness his wonderful work in this

TOO SPANIEL FOR Her.
The Tribul2tioEs OF nm Army Nurse
Who Didn't UnderstSnd the Lnn-
EuaHe In Cuba.

An army nurse but lately returned
from Cuba to Washington declares that
never again will she go to country
whose i;tnguage she cannot understand,
reports the Washington Post. 1t was
before hostiiities had come to a definite
end that she was startled one day by the
unexpected visit of her Cuban laun-
dress. The woman was intensely en-
cited. Anxiety sat on her brow and
sorrow dwelt in Ecr eyes. She gesticu-
lated ard she talked. The nurse l:new
not Al word Of what she said, but the
Pantomime filed her with terror. The
Cuban's hands seemed to speak of an Mt
tack on the hospital-of wounded r,cn
butchered and nurses cut to ribbons. The
nurse was frantic. She must know the
worst. In the hospital was an officer
very ill with typhoid fever. She knew
he understood Spanish. Only in IL -at-
ter OF life and death would she disturb
him, but this was obviously n matter of
life or death. She led the Cuban woman
to the bedside and there the storv was
repeated. The officer listened intentIv.
The nurse held her breath. The Cunnn
ceased. The sick man turned his heaG

says the stripes in your pink shirt waist

OFFERS TO A QUEEN.
People Who Wanted to Cure and
Pray for Her Majesty
OF Belgium.

The queen of Belgium did not lack
sympathy in her recent illness, for, in
addition to the most patriotic express
sions from her subjects, kilograms and
letters came piling into the, Belgian
court from all quarters, says. the Bos-
ton Transcript. s Perhaps the most
original communications were from
England.
An Englishman addressed lette-.to
Princess Clementine offering to for
ward some remarkable device which
had cured him Of broncho-pneumonia,
inclosing n photograph which showed
into what healthy specimen of hui
manity he had since developed. An
other, believing her majesty's illness
due to cancer. sent n triple-weight let
ter describing several cures for this dis
case. a third said his valise was pack d
and he was only waiting telegraphic
call, when he would go Mt his own on
pense. and guaranteed cure within "a
hours.
There were also several letters from
clergymen offering to go to Laeken to
pray for the queens recovery, averring
that on similar occasion they had
saved the prince of Wales' life by inter-
mediation.
