A Literary Coincidence.

Plagiarism Is literary crime the
charge of which should not be made too
freely, especially where very eminent
person is concerned Retentive memo
ries seem to be responsible for much
that in an outburst OF indignant emo
tion we would lay to plagiarism. This.
however, can hardly explain the follow
ing, which can merely be called a re-
markable coincidence We have never
heard that the genial autocrat. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, was ever accused of
stealing from Whittier, nor do we ever
remember that any one has said that the
Quaker poet borrowed from the ply
stefan. Nor do the circumstances OF the
present case raise either issue
We picked up the other day at Sec
ond hand bookstore a copy Of The At.
lantic Monthly Of January, 1870 In it
we found that the two eminent poets
above mentioned while writing on total
ly different themes gave two lines that
are strikingly alike. Mr.. Whittier's is
Never by lover my lips be kissed.
and DR.. Holmes wrote, Lips that lover
has never kissed" IL IL rather an ex-
traordinary coincidence, as we have said.
How curiously and scientifically and
mystically the doctor must have explain

gered to his seat without so much as
looking around. The slight to the hat
was more than Frederic could endure.
In towering passion he went to the
lieutenant, stood over him and pointed
to the object on the floor. "Pick up
that hat, sirl" he roared. The officer
stared amazed; the walters were par
alyzed with terror at hearing one SO
much more than human so addressed
by civilian. "Pick up that haiti" re-
peated Frederic in tone more menace
ing than before. And the lieutenant did
what he was told. He was as irresisti-
bly, dominated by the courage and force
of the man as sohoolboy before his
master, or perhaps he thought Frederic
carried the customary west American
revolver. Saturday Review.

As passenger train on the Hannibal

and small boy, came out Of the depot
and began to take his bearings. Up and
down the tracks his gaze wandered, up
and down the long lines of coaches
drawn up under the sheds, and at last,
as the rear coach was passing him, he
caught sight of the moving train.
Come on, FTeddiel Thar she goes |"
he yelled and began to transfer soms Of
his belongings from his right hand to
his left as he ran. Freddie made an
amazing record for one whose legs We're
so short, and they were soon beside the
steps on the rear end of the last coach.
There was man standing on the plat

caught Freddie, who was leaping and
swinging and dragging by turns in his
vain efforts to make his short legs
stretch far enough to get his feet on the
lower step. Pa held on to him with one
hand and the man on the platform
finally succeeded in drawing him up.
Pa slung the banana bag after him. 1t
slid on across the platform and went
overheard on the other side. Pa made a
leap for the steps, dropped a bundle and
stopped to pick it up. The recovery of
the bundle took but second, but the
train was getting we'll under way and
was tails length ahead when he be-
gan the chase again. One wild squirt,
with his coattails standing out behind
him, reckless leap, and pa, too, was
aboard, but bundle containing an un-

An employee of the depot picked the
bundle up, and section man who hap

his own refreshment. The crowd that

the race melted away, and the depot at

Half an hour later o very angry man
CAME prancing down the depot platform.
He was holding small boy by one
hand, and the ends Of an Ak handle and
scythe snath protruded from under his
arm.
1t was pa. He approached depot
official and said:
"Why didn't you tell me that WASH t
