The Other Fellows Girl.

l sometimes think that all the charm
Which female flesh is heir to,
Belong to other fellows girls
Yes-that's a fact I'll swear to.
l see their cunning wiles and smiles,
Their hair where sunlight dances.
And ever and anon | catch
Their most bewitching glances.
l see them walking on the street,
With lace and feathers Ger them,
And wonder if those other men,
Those stupid Yellowstone them.
The other fellows girls to me
Seem beautiful and winning,
And if l covet two or three,
Good faith-that is not SHINING.
All, yes!-The other fellows girl!
I'll steal her if I'm able,
And so get square with one I know
By turning thus the table.

2. S.-Since writing the above,
The post a note has brought me,
And every gentle word she writes
Has in its meshes caught me.
Let other fellows girls go hang
As for the poem-blow it!
Why, l have nothing to forgive!
The fault was mine; 1 know it.

"a biped has two legs and a quadru-

is two legs"

Madame sembrich's Great Feat Further
Described.

Amid the excitement which followed
the return Of Mime. Sembrich after her
first solo. there were perhaps not many
In the audience who realized the wonder
full vocal feat which she performed !;
something which TO the ordinary singer,
would seem to be well nigh impossible.
Ii seems it was arranged between Nine.
Sembrich ana Mr. Chapman that the rails
ing of her left hand was to be the signal
for the orchestra, without any prelude,
or sounding of any instrument. to begin
at onoe with her in the midst of one of
the most brilliant roulades of her solo.
And this was actually done. For after
being recalled several times, with the
din OF the applause In her ears, she was
actually able to give herself the exact
pitch. and start sim ultansonsIy with the
orchestra in absolute accord. Y ears OF
practice spent with the violin, and the
assiduous study of music as music, have
made Mime. Sembrich a musical artist in
every sense of the word, aside from bsing
such a marvellous singer.

man came into the PRESS office
yesterday afternoon In great excitement
lie related the tale of the bone finding
and want2d a reporter to go with him to
view the CHASTITY relic. His fiuency OF
tongue induced the newspaper man to 90
with him to the scens of the discovery.
There was found a big crowd of Italians
and other foreigners about the place all
talking excitedly and the NEST of them
thoroughly convinced that they were
| looking upon the spot where body had
been buried years ago.
In one corner of the cellar which is be-
Ing excavated ten or dozen tones were
found. They were white with age and
half decayed. One old terrier who viewed
them scornfully said that Fits nothing
but piece of old corn beef.''
His utterance nearly preoipitated riot
as the people who were gathered about
the excavation did not like to feel that
they had been the victim of o hoax.
The newspaper mans informant after
pointing out tho bones and Indignantly
denying the statement that they were
the relics of corn beet or the remains of
dog, went on to tell Of the many strange
disappearances which had been recorded
about this famous corner In years past
and about the dreadful crimes which had
been committed in this nsighborhocd
within the past twenty years which no
one knows anything about. He then said
1t was getting along toward winter ar
he was little dry. This hint not bring
ing forth coin he said he had been so
worked up by the CHASTITY discovery that
he felt faint and drink of "something
hot" might make him feel better He

existence of a great Dutch con-
spiracy against British supremacy

there is no doubt that the Orange
government is intent on war.
Many Beers in the northern dis
