NOT THAT KIND OF A CAKE
7. Lacked suggestive of a weddins
nut was Intended for Diff
ferent PurpOse.

An East end car was loaded down with
shoppers, mostly women, ior 1t was IN the
middle OF the afternoon. Conversation was
proceeding at a great rate. 1t was ike
mink tea or a session OF the sewing circle.
But all at once a hush fell over the fair chat
terers. A negro lad entered, bearing IN bis
arms an immense cake, three or four decks
high, and frosted over from pit to dome, as
they say of theater. There was profusion
OF flowers by way of decoration, and delicate
traceries of gauzy lace completed the EN-
belIishments. The cake was so large that
the negro could scarcely carry it.
The cake told the whole story of the we'd
ding, the bridesmaids, the orange flowers, the
flower girls and the banquet afterward.
Every feminine heart in that street car was
a-futter as its owner gazed speechlessly
upon the evidence of wedding to be.
Finally, when the car stopped to let on
another passenger and everything was very
still, one lady took courage to ask the negro
where the wedding was going to be.
"Whut weddin'!" asked the negro, his eyea
protruding. :
"The wedding that cake is for"
"Dis amt no weddin' cake"
"No"
"No'm. Dis yeres er cake walk cake"
There was a smile that reached from one
end Of the car to the other, and very soon
conversation was resumed as before.-Mem.

When the birds flew lower, the shadow

With wild whoop he sprang to his

import of that shadow II was a

tiny speck and went To- work with

ROMANCE IN A COTTONWOOD.
WIHp OF Lovers Hair Discovered
where II Was Placed Years
Age.

4 unique and interesting remnant OF
love affair Of long ago has recently
come 70 light at Chicago Heights, says
the Chronicle. A few days ago W. II
Drake fclled large cottonwood tree
which stood ON residence lot ana
commenced cutting and splitting II for
stove wood In one small section he
found five-eighths-inch hole, into
which a beautiful lock of auburn hair
had been placed when the tree was
small and wooden peg three inches
long driven In, completely filling the
cavity and hiding for many long years
the cherished lock. An idea of the
length Of time that this treasure has
remained In its strange rustic casket
may be gained from the fact that the
depth of the hole. three and one-half
inches. reached slightly beyond the
center Of the tree.
The battered end of the pin seemed
20 have projected about one-fourth OF
an inch. From this IL is estimated
that the diameter OF the tree when The
pin was driven did not exceed Ave and
one-hnlf inches. When cut down the
tree measured 30 inches in diameter
at the stump, 20 feet to the first limb
and stood IS feet high; the pin was
located five feet above the ground and
the diameter of the tree at this place
was 20 inches, Local authorities say
that cottonwoods In this section grow
about one-half inch In diameter each
year, andaccording TO this the hair has
remained in It's hiding place ~ years.
The ground on which the tree stood
was formerly farm belonging 10
Jack Fur2e. pioneer. Much interest
has been excited by this strange In.
eident and efforts are being made "a
trace the romance that must be con-
nected with the auburn ringlet.

HE WAS a coAcnMAN YET.

Once on 4 time there were two men.
Ambitious Dick and thoughtless Ben.
And both drove coaches for a boss
And played together pitch and toss
Around the livery stable they
speni many rough but happy day
They laughed at one auother's jokes
And on clay pipes had chummy smokes.
AT last Dick left ard Ben remained.
And after years had waxed and waned
Ttsrs 10 the stable came a man
To hire n handsome coach and span.
Ben was the driyff. just the same,
Tough. rough dsready as his name:
The gentleman. well dressed. and proud,
Was eyed with awe by ali the crowd.
But something IN his face or tone
Appealed to Driver Ben alone
He'd seen the gentleman before
But where and when7 He watched him
moro,
Aiong they rode. Ben thinking who
Could be that stylish gent" he knew;
Then came a flash Of MEMORY quick
''why, bless my heart-he's my old Dick"
with hand held out and beamIng eyes.
Ben turned around In glad surprise,
why, Dicki Old chumi This f. joy
I'm glad TO see you. Shake, Old boyi"
The gentleman Ben coIdly eyed:
His kid g'oved hand stayed az his side.
"Why, Dicki I'm Ben-Ben Hiek, you
know
Your coaching partner long ago"
The passenger seemed not to share
Ben's pleasure at the meeting there;
Excuse me. Mr. Hlok." said he.
"But please drive on. You've stopped,
see"
''why. Dieki Don't you remember when
We both were coachmen." answered Ben.
yes" said the man. "but you forget
My friend. that you're coaehman yet"
This little tale may show young eyes.
How with ambition men may rise,
But. all the same. We think Ben Hick
Was more a gentleman than Dick.
A mes too proud TO condescend
To greet an old but humble friend.
May have some brains beneath his hat
But he's a snob for all Of that
