Once Was Ennngh.

This is one of General Miles stories.
In the confederate army Longstreet's S
corps was making night march.
About o'clock in the morning, when
everyone was worn out, Georgia regi-
ment stopped. A Georgia soldier put
his rifle up against the tents on the
other side of where Longstreet was.
"Well." he said, this is pretty hard
to fight all day and march all night.
But 1 suppose can do it for love of
my country" He continues: 81 can
60 hungry. can fight. If need be ]
can die for my country, because I love
my country. But when this war is
over l'll be blowed if I'll love another
country. Woman's Journal.

Modern Cave Dwellers.

Gave dwellers, or, to be exact, earth
or rock dwellers, are not yet extinct.
a traveller who visited the prehistoric
cave dwellings near Halberstadt, in
the Harz mountains, found in the
nearby village of Langenstein ten cages
hewn in the rock and occupied by 40
persons. This little settlement is built
on the slope of rocky hill near the
village. The fronts OF the dwellings
we've made by cutting vertical face in
the rock. Each ''house" has a door
and one window. The first house was
constructed only 40 years ago by a
young married couple who were too
poor to pay their rent in the village.
The rock houses are warm IN winter
and cool in summer. They are quite
healthful, according to the testimony
of their inhabitants. whose stout
limbs and red cheeks vouch Tor the
truth of their statements.-N Y.

a matter as this, when the welfare Of
two people is at stake, perhaps a per-

life, would, / am afraid, make but poor

Those Absurd Names.

"What ridiculous names they have
over there in the Philippines" said
the man who had just walked up ia
the counter and been assured by the
clerk that he could have the best room
in the hotel. "There's Calumpit, for
instance. That name would make a
horse laugh. Who ever heard of any
thing so absurd as to give town such
a postmark as that?"
Then he took the pen that the clerk
had been holding out toward him and
wrote upon the register:

writer, as under the nimble fin
gers of the operator the type
rods flashed up and down with light
ning-like rapidity.
It's warm day, too-very warm.
and no doubt that ill-fated instrument
felt 1t, but yet each and all of those
tall-collared, clean-shaven clerks, who
kept throwing languishing eyes in the
direction of the fair operator, would
have willingly changed places with
that reeking, squeaking, jerspiring ma
chine.
But Amy Northcote did not seem in
very good form on this particular
morning, for gradually the rattle of the
machine got slower and slower, and at
last stopped altogether.
AS matter of fact, little Miss North
cote was in a very peculiar frame of
mind. She was extremely romantic,
and spent one-half of her time in read
ing novelettes, and the other half in
thinking about them.
Iales OF love and devotion, OF hero
ism and martyrdom, King Arthur and
his table round, Lancelot and Guine-
we're, errant knights and ladies fair
every legend she had ever read, and
dozens of others she had made for her
self, crowded in upon each other in
wonderful confusion.
The long train Of courtly knights and
serenading gallants foated leisurely
before her, and more came, and still
more, and yet all of them, though so
different in apparel, had the same face
And what handsome face it was,
too! What tall, commanding figure!
How graceful it looked in the robes Of
Romeo, and how glorious in the armor
Of Lancelot!
Suddenly her reverie was interrupted
by quiet voice that descended from
some distance above her.
"Good-morning, Miss Northcotew
She looked up with a start, and there
stood her Lancelot before her. He
seemed to have discarded his armor
and donned an ordinary black morning
suit and very white collar, where
+ Of" as the office boy once remarked,
"the height and stiffness were marvel
Gus great"
"Goodmorning, sir" she said, in a
half-frightened voice, and then, as the
junior partner disappeared into his
room, she bent over her work with a
very red and very hot face.
Then the typewriter clicked again,
but not so merrily as before, and fire.
quent errors occurred. Presently a
bell in the office rang twice. This was
the signal for Miss Northcote to go
/ into Mr.. Norman's room and take the
morning letters, for this young lady
was also shorthand writer to the firm.
The door closed and she was alone
with the handsome young partner.
Jack Robertson returned to the office,
and, as he climbed sadly on to his lofty
stool, a universal groan went around
the room. Eight stiff white collars
cracked simultaneously as eight heads
dropped sorrowfully over their respec-
tive invoices and bills of lading.
The morning letters were soon finish
ed and the young lady rose to go.
zone minute Miss Northcote, please.
l have a private letter l wish you to
write. 1t is a rather delicate matter
and certainly ought to write the letter

will consent to be my wife my whole
life shall testify my gratitude and con-
stancy. leave my future happiness

cision l shall have none. Meanwhile,
l remain, yours forever; -"
That afternoon seemed a very long
one to the little typewriter She copied
the letter perfectly, and delivered it to
Mr.. Norman, who posted it himself.
She then went on with the ordinary
letters.
At last the long day came to an end,
and Miss Northcote prepared to go
home. The Office boy brought her hat
and cloak, and Jack Robertson helped
her on with them. He would have
liked to escort her home, but dared not
ask, so he wandered slowly to the
Lyric Theater, and wept copiously
enough through the whole perform
ance.
Meanwhile the object of his thoughts
walked pensively down the busy
: Strand, still dreaming Of her noble
Lancelot. But, somehow, this time it
was not Lancelot and Guinevere, but
Lancelot and Elaine.
She stopped in front of Whitehall and
gazed in admiration and awe at the
gigantic figures of the two lifeguards
on their passive horses. How grand
they looked! How strong and hand
some! Just as Lancelot must have ap-
peared to Elaine. Then one Of those
noble warriors winked at her in very
unromantic manner, and she hurried
on, feeling very much disappointed
and vaguely wondered whether Lance
lot winked at his Guinevere like that.
She let herself quietly in, and went
upstairs to her own room, in order to
have a good cry, which she had been
promising herself all the day.
On the stairs her little sister handed
her letter, which she took into her
room with her.
She laid the letter on her table, with
the intention Of having her cry first;
but catching sight of the address as
she was putting it down, she snatched
it up again. The envelope was in Mr..
Norman's handwriting.
In tremendous hurry she proceeded
to open it, and of course took about
three times as long as usual
The first few words were enough.
Dear Madame-ln such a matter as
this"
She knew every word Of it-every
tap. 1t was the very letter she had
written herself; and with little cry
Of half-frightened Joy she flung herself
on her bed, and had even a longer and
more passionate cry than she had prom
ised herself.
In these degenerate times the lmperi-
Gus Lady Norman faunts and -four
ishes in her baronial halls, loved by her
tenants and adored by her husband.
But It Is whispered among the SER
wants that her ladyshlp will often re-
tire to little private room, where she
has sometimes been seen shedding
tears of happiness over the bones Of a
poor, rusty, rheumatic old typewriter.
