How Mayne Reid Won His Bride.

1t was through his novel, The Scalp
Hunters that Captain Mayne Reid
won a bride. He was 80 years old
when he met a damsel of 13, with
whom he at once fell in love. The
child took no notice of him. but he
gave her the story to read, as effective
a I'M of counting in this nineteenth
century rs y was Othello's in an
earlier one. TWO years later the young
lady was at Il public meeting where
Captain Reid spoke on behalf of the
Polish refugees. AN electric thrill
seemed to pass through me as he en-
tered the ROOM" she said afterward.
and when the meeting was ver she
went up to him. Il leave for London
on the next train." he said hurriedly.
please send me your address,
81 do not know where" she replied
with some embarrassment. He in
stantly handed out his card and was
gone. a formal little note followed;
Dear Captain Reid-As you asked M
to send YOU my address, do So" By
return of post came the answer: 'Only
say that you love me and l will be
with you at once" and then the reply,
II think | do love YOU"

A Very Restful Rest.

Adolf Mcneil, the German artist,
was at one time engaged ON a mural
decoration. He had rugged up a scat
folding in his studio, on which his
model was requested to stand. For
two long hours the poor .'poseur" stood
up aloft in a most fatiguing posture.
Mcneil in the meantime worked at
his sketch. needless of the fact that
his model was growing tired.
AT length the model found it necessa-
ry to speak. Herr professor said
he, "how about a recess?"
Mcneil %apologized p%rofusely for his
forgetfulness. Certainly, certainly,
my dear SIR" said he. Come down
and rest yourself a bit"
The model had clambered from the
scatfolding to the ladder, which led
down from it to the studio floor.
Stop cried the artist suddenly.
THAT pose is fine! Don't move a
muscle!.'
And once more the model was forced
into strained rigidity, while the en-
thusiastic craftsman set about sketch
ing him.
AT the end of half an hour Mcneil
looked up from his work. There
said he, that will do nicely! Get back
on the scaffold. We have had our rest
Let us get back to work again."
What the model said is left to the
readers Imagination.

A ElornI

Why speak of the lovely painted tril-
liums, with their three daintily Grim
kled petals, streaked with rose purple?
says Bradford Torrey in The Atlantic.
One after another | gathered them

e%ralness), each fresher and handsomer

oh" said a man ON a hotel piazza
as l returned, II see you have nose
bleed" l was putting my hand to my
pocket, wondering why l should have
been taken SO childishly. when it came
over me what he meant. He was look
ing at the trilliums and explained, in
answer to a question, that he had al
ways heard them called %nosebleed.
Somewhere, then-I omitted to inquire
where-this is their vulgar name. In
Eranconia the people call them Benja-
Minis, which has a pleasant Biblical
sound-better thar %nosebleed. at all
events-though, to my thinking, tril-
lium is preferable to either Of them
both for sound and for sense.

/. rurne ed the Joke to Account.

$50
Some friends once invited the late
Tiny Waterman to their shooting club
at Kings Lake. near st. Louis. and the
first afternoon they stationed Tiny in
a ducking tank. or sink box, where they
we'll knew ducks had never been seen.
He took the joke good naturally. and
that night at dinner he pulled a shell
out of his pocket n tossed it OIL the
table with the remark that he %"ihought
he had put all of his shells away"
Most naturally n of the, diners cut
the shell open with his pocketknife,
disclosing the contents. Tiny seemed
astounded at the number of outlets"
as he called them. and asked how
many We're in a shell. OF course no
one could enligllten him, so he said,
IF you fellows who are hunters really
don't know. it seems to me that it is a
good betting proposition"
Good scheme" exclaimed one of his
hosts. Lets make it a dollar each as
to who guesses nearest to the actual
number in the she'll"
LAS there is only one bet in this
proposition" Tiny suggested, lets
make it So a corner" which was agreed
to-.
Each u wrote on the tablecloth his
guess as to the number contained in
the shell, and when the pellets We're
counted it was found that Tiny had
guessed the exact number. He ac-
cordingly gathered in the $50, and
when he had it safely bestowed he
casually inquired. What do you fell
lows think l was doing in that blamed
tank all afternoon ?"-San Francisco

White and Red Wines.

White and red wines owe their diff
ference to the fact that, while the for
mer is permitted to ferment without
the grape skirts. these are allowed to
remain in the case of the latter. The
color of the grapes makes no difference
whatever to the color of the wine
which they produce, for the juice of
all grapes is as nearly as possible col
orless. For instance, the grape which
yields champagne is almost black in
outward appearance.

ONLY A LAUGH.

Only a laugh, but the JOY OF tile hours in it,
Dropping so blithely from out of the gloom,
Down from the easement that has the red flowers
in it,
Flooding with sunshine my poor little room.

Whose is the smiling mouth, whose %bubbling voice
it is,
Putting such perfume in only a Taught
Only a laugh! My lone life is so ~shadowy,
Hinged with the darkness that solitude grows,
Most Of the l.ightness missed, most of its glad
away,
Most of its tenderness chilled by the SHOWS.
Only a laugh, but SO much of the gay in it!
oh, were there love 'twouid be sweeter by half!

We're it for me more than-only a laugh!

~-La ta,aoranh CONVEYS the information
thai attendance at both poDulist national
conventions Is small. At Cincinnati less
than i've hundred delegates are assembled,
and Yesterday a count of noses sho"@"
only seventy-fve visitors to witness the
proceedings At Sioux Falls not over fiVe
hundred delegates are assembled, and the
sections OF the circus tent set apart lot
visitors showed at the opening of the con-
Vention many seats unOccupied- what can
the matter be? Cincinnati is a large and
fiourishing city where proceedings OF great
national moment ought to attract an over
Nowing crowd. while Sioux Falls is in the
heart of the territory where populsm Is
supposed to be the sole hope of the people
What explains this difference between
yh5f was expected and what is being pre-
sented, Is populism under Its own name
pIavei out? Have the numbers who once
made il strong returned to their fofrner
political a,Iegiances? Have those who ieft
the democratic party for populism become
satisfied with seeing theli old parry take
on the hue and complexion of popullsm
And are they acting again as democrats
and waiting for the Kansas City conven-
ton? Or can 1t be that the people are too
busy just now to give attention to politics!
Is prosperity so general and pronounced
that idlers are few and daylight shows go
begging? Is there something forbiddins
about a party which. In the face of absolute
proof to the contrary. Insists on advertising
the country as headed for smash. and itself
as the only possible rescuer? Are people in
a busy manufacturing city like Cincinnati.
and in and around a flourishing farming
center like Sioux Falls, alike Indifferent to
the heralds and jawsmiths OF calamity?
But more notable even than this loss of
strength is the loss of respect which the
survivors have sustained for each other.
The middle-of-the-road faction is per-
suaded, and says SO. that the fusion faction
is but the tool of Chairman Jones of the
democratic national committee, while the
fusion faction is firmly convinced that Mr..
Hanna is pulling the strings at Cincinnati
In this way each faction advertises the
other as a humbug. unworthy of trust and
confidence. Are these charges mere parti-
san heat and passion? Is either faction
justified in making them? Or-more awful
still,-are both?

For Honest Food.

There is ground for hearty satisfaction In
the adoption by the House of Representa-
tives by a substantial republican majority.
and despite an adverse committee report, of
the resolution calling for information con-
cerning the methods and material employed
in the manufacture of oleomargarine. 1t is
decided and. we believe, a highly desira-
BILE step toward restoring important food
supplies to something like normal purity
and wholesomeness. The makers of that
product are conspicuous sinners against the
principle of open dealing in the preparation
of food supplies. and they have brought
upon themselves vast amount of suspicion
and discredit by their persistent efforts To
palm on their product under false guise
as real butter. Let it be made known of
what oleomargarine is made and with what
drugs. fruits and vegetables and milk and
cream are preserved" If nothing mis-
chievous Is revealed public confidence will
be increased. and no harm. but actual
benefit. will come to the manufacturers and
tradesmen: If something deleterious does
come to light monstrous wrong will be
undone and the public will be saved from
wholesale poisoning. 1t is as proper and
as desirable for the state or national gov
ernment to do this as it is for the municipal
government to destroy stale fish and rotten
fruit

guessable monarch in Europe.
This rumored change. In coincidence with
both the droop of the mustache and the
attainment of his majority by the
crown prince, has naturally set the
capitals of the continent buzxing with
speculation. Is the most freaktsh of
the Hohenzollerns toning down now that
time has given him man for an heir?
Or have the policies Of the empire sufficient
ly established themselves under his feverish
direction to allow a relaxation from the
high strain Of the past few years? Are
these notifications in personal temperament
going to affect the broad. ambitious inter-
national program OF the crown? 1t Is easy
to believe that Europe. closely knit by royal
ties and fed by the most inquisttive gossips
in the world with an abundance of material
for speculation. is more absorbed just at
present in that dropping mustache and its
corelative conditions than in the Paris !air
or the Boer war. trite subjects of which the

The Kaiser. Mu.,ache.

European gossips are agog over a change
in the kaiser's mustache. Heretofore erect
ed vertically, with the ends belligerenty
faring and yet pointed Williams hirsute
adornment had been thought to indicate his
character. independent, impatient of con-
ventions "scrappy." OF late the royal bar
ber, it is related, has become imbued with
the spirit OF the mustache. He has grown
impudent, has traded upon his access to the
royal upper lip, and has in general become
obnoxious. So he has been deported and
since then the kaiser's mustache has shown
a decided droop. The vertical plane is
abandoned. A perceptibls angle has ap-
peared. The points are not SO fiaringly

fully copied throughout the more -obsea,,i-

The House District committee has or
dered a favorable report upon the bill
changing the mode Of tax payments in the
District by reverting to the old plan Of a
single payment each year. This bill is open
to objection notwithstanding the approval of
the committee. 1t represents no public de-
mand. On the contrary, the taxpayers of
the District are strenuously opposed to a
change in the process of tax payment. The
system of semi-annual installments has
worked well and its retention is required in
the best interests of the community The
annual payment is hard upon the property
owner of moderate means who cannot easily
secure the ready money to make the lump
payment of his entire years taxes. Expert
ence seems to show that the semi-annual
payment plan. while perhaps somewhat an
noying to the tax office, is nevertheless con-
ducive to the fuller and more prompt pay
ment of the taxes, thus avoiding loss to the
District and indirect processes of forced
collection. There Is still another reason
against the change. The withdrawal of the
money for an entire years taxes from cir
culation within one month means a serious
disturbance in the finances of the District
BY dividing this withdrawal the effect is
lessened. greatly to the benefit OF the larger
institutions and the enterprises of the cap
ital This change may be Inspired by ad-
ministrative reasons, but 1t Is most assured
ly not justified by any sentiment among the
taxpayers. whose interests should always
be considered first long as they do not
conflict with the public welfare. The bill
should be permitted to gather dust on the
Speakers table.
