Mr.. Bobby Dyer shook his fist saw
agely, and, addressing an invisible
spectator, said:-"I'll be hanged if |
don't pay you out for this. You just
wait"
No human being was ordinarily more
inoffensive in appearance than Mr..
Bobby Dyer; but at this moment his
pink and white cherubic countenance
was distorted with scowl that BODIED
i'll to the unfortunate person that was
to be "paid OUT
For Mr. Dyer's self-esteem had re
ceived a rude shock. Bobby one of
the most popular and petted youths Of
a very smart set; Bobby, who led the
cotillion and designed waistcoats-had
been made the butt of pretty, witty
Kitty Northrup's little red tongue.
And that, moreover, before room
filed with fashonables.
Bobby's wits were slow. In an en-
counter Of repartce be was always
worstcd. How, then, could he expect
to cope with SO famous and skilled an
antagonist? He had made brave effort,
to be sure; but Miss Kitty had harried
and worried and pinked him; had
thrust him through and through; and
the bitter "reminiscences in which he
was now indulging, were series of
quickly dissolving views of elegant
women tittering behind their fans and
fellows nudging each other and put
ting up their hands to conceal their
grins.
Bobby's voice was now for war on
Miss Kitty Northrup. But how? She
stood on so stately pinnacle. She was
so remote, so brilliant and such a social
law unto herself, how could he hope
ever to wreck revenge on her pretty
uuLbTOWll nPat.
For though Bobby was decidedly in
the swim, he could by no means rival
Miss NorthrupS prestige. The cX-
allied position Of the Northrups was
one born OF distinguished lineage and
enormous wealth, while Bobby was a
mere social mushroom.
But Bobby Dyer did not despair.
Some way to satisfy his wounded van
ity must surely open. In one fashion
or another he must prick the pride Of
this radiant Lady Disdain, who had SO
publicly and scornfully houted his pre-
tensions to persitlage.
And way did open in SO sudden
and unlocked for fashion that Bobby
had not time to think-a tedious pro-
cess which rs rule he abhorred.
1t was at the Mortimer ball, big,
blowsy, noisy affair which had been
blaZoned for weeks, where the crus..
was tremendous and everybody was
bored to death
Kitty Northrup was especially bored
She had languidIy danced, she had
hirted as outrageousIy as usual. She
had given vent to few of the scintilla-
tons of wit which were always eX-
pected of her. Now she sat in cur
tanned window seat, moodily watching
the magnificent mob charging the sup
per room.
Her red lips curlel with scorn as she
studied the scene. What a disgrace
full scramble!' she murmured. I'm
Disguised. | shall go home. Heav-
ems. how stupid Same old crowd. |

In the spring the birds are singing

AS they build their summer home,
Blades of grass and buds are springing,
Ger the mead the cattle roam.
In the spring your blood is freighted-
With the germs that cause diseas
Humors, boils, are designated
Signals warning you of these.
In the spring that tired feeling
Makes you every duty shirk,-
Makes you feel like begging, stealing,
Rather than engage in work.
But there's something known that villa
Man to health and vigor lead.
You will find Hoods Sarsaparilla
Just exactly what you need.

MOTHERS BIRTH, MARCH 10, 1900.
BY HER AFFECTIoNATE SON, "DoLrH-RY."
Again, t e varied seasons flown,
Sweet, verdant Spring reclaims her own,
And, with her tender finger tip,
Once more makes red the purple lip
She smiles, and winter fees away,
She smiles again and all is gay.
And, when the earth lay bare and cold,
Fair flow'rs flourish manifold.
She calls the dainty featherei brood,
Sets them to work by multitude,
And draws her beauty from the art
OF them she teaches to impart.
Fit season til IS to hail the birth
OF one of such intrinsic worth;
Her mildness wraps the infant round.
Her sweetness in its heart is found
Her animation fires its soul.
And her perfection names its goa.
Such infant, mother once was thou,
Such was the muse that laved thy brow.
Full we'll hast thou, these many years,
Disarmed her anxious. loving fears,
And true to every treasured hope,
Hast lent thy virtues fullest scope.
I greet thee with sons caress,
1 glory in thy faithfulness,
hail thee. at this festal time,
With feeble, though devoted rhyme,
And bid the future hold in store
A blither lot than heretofore,
More prosperous days, devoted still
To Gods unerring, holy will.

There are some curious facts about
our calendar. No century can begin
on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday.
The same calendar can be used every
20 years. October always begins on
the same day Of the week as January,
April as July, September as December.
February, March and November begin
on different days from each other and
every other month in the year. The
first and last days of the year are al
ways the same. These rules do not
apply to leap year, when comparison
is made between day before and after
February 10Th.

THE BLACKSMITH
PREACHER ON SUCCESS.

Going up the ladder at one jump,
says Rev. Robert Collyer, the famous
clergyman, who was once black
smith, in Success, is like the toy mon
key that goes up with jump and
comes down head first. The men and
women who achieve true success are
all hard climbers. They work in one
direction Our course must not be like
COW path, all over the pasture and into
the woods, for that may mean through
the woods and into the wilderness.
| want to say, too: that if we ex-
pect to do we'll in this life we must
keep well, by all the means in our pow
er-eat we'll and sleep well eight hours
out of the twenty four. Young men
should choose, as early as they can, a
good and true woman for a wife, and
look forward to noble family of child
rem. My ambition was to have seven
and the all wise father gave me nine.
If a young man has good mental and
physical health and works hard, his
life will be sweet and clean. He will
do his work we'll and his lfe's work
well, and at its end he will be able to
say, with Adam in the play:
Though | look old, yet am | strong
and lusty,
For in my youth l never did apply hot
and rebellious liquors to my blood,
And di not with unbashful forehead
The means of weakness and debility.
Therefore, my age is lusty winter,
frosty, but kindly.

The farmers from many miles around gathered
to hear the trial of this suit. and beekeepers are
gathered here from all over the country, some COM
ing even from New w-Hampshire and North Carolina.
The star witness for the defendant was Frank
Benton. He had spent thirty years studying bees.
and for that purpose spent four years in Austria,
four in Germany and several in Eastern countries
In pursuit of bee knowledge. He said that the
tongue of the bee soft and piiable and could
not puncture a peach. The inner tongue Of the
bee is spoon shaped and covered with hair. 1t

called nectar. and is fond of rotten peaches. Its
feelers soft, and cannot pierce any substance

Sometimes they will meet and wind their feelers
about each other. This is their method of shaking
