Did She Get the Hat.

1t was mean trick, of course, and
some day she will doubtless get even
with him.
She saw him take piece of paper
from his pocket carefully fold it up,
put it in an envelope and then place
the envelope in one of the far corners
of the drawer of the library table.
"Whats that" she asked.
ooh, nothing of any consequence,
he replied.
Now. If he had simply thrown it care
lessly into the drawer she would have
thought nothing of it, but the care he
took to put it clear over in the far cor
ner and the fact that he seemed i'll at
ease after he found that his action had
been observed aroused her curiosity.
She wondered what it was, and she
reasoned with herself that he had said
it was nothing Of importance" so be
would have nobody but himself to
blame If she took look at it. She was
justified in inferring from his words
that there was no reason why she
should not. And this is what she read
scrubbed on piece of paper:
"1'll bet you new hat your curiosity
will not permit you to let this alone. v
1t was terrible predicament in
which to place q woman. How could
she claim the new hat without giving
herself away?-Chicago Post.

A Little BIT Too Sensitive.


This cold, hard world has few souls
as sensitive as young man who killed
himself in Paris the other day. His
home was in Lyons, and his father
had given to him 10000 francs, or &c.
900, to establish a branch office of their
business in Paris. After he had been
in Paris for several days his letters
home ceased, and he disappeared from
the little circle of friends that he had
made. He had seemed quiet, steady
fellow, and he had chosen his new as
Bociates with discretion. When they
missed him, they wrote to his father,
Bupposing that he knew where his son
was. The father, however, was igno-

and the police We're summoned and a
search made of his apartments. On
the bed in his room was found his dead
body, with note by his side, which
said:

that my father intrusted to me, and as
I would not have it believed that
have squandered the money am kill.
ing myself" This furnished clew,
but nothing more could be learned for
several days. Finally, when searching
the rooms for the young mans proper
ty, his pocketbook, with the $4,000
francs, was found in n corner of the
bureau drawer, where he had put it
and then forgotten.

The Cunning of the Crow.

In the inn garden saw dog eating
a piece of meat in the presence of sew
eral covetous crows, says contributor
to Our Animal Friends. They evident
>iy said a great deal to each other On
the subject, and now and then one or
two of them tried to pull the meat
away from him, which he resented.
At last big strong crow succeeded
in tearing Off a piece, with which he
returned to the pine, where the others
were congregated, and after much ear
nest speech they all surrounded the
dog, and the leading bird dexterously
dropped the small piece of meat within
reach of his mouth, when he immedi-
ately snapped at it, letting go the big
piece unwisely for second, on which
two of the crows flew away with it to
the pine, and with much tluttering and
hilarity they all ate or rather gorged
it, the deceiv II dog looking vacant and
bcwildered for a moment, after which

they're rather too similar for me to

And freely the sun beat down.
The goal l sought was not far away,
But the sands were hot and brown.

Unless have missed the track;
Only few more furlongs can part
From the home that welcomes me back.
All, what is this? | have been unwise;
Behold there stretchcth sea
Near to the loveit home prize!
1t was not wont so to be.
Forward rushed on my way once more,
Ny heart o'ercharged with despair,
Till stood where should have been the s'icFet
And, 10, there was no sea there!
Oh joy CT heart here my trouble ends!

And safety at eventide."

Fear for the dangers our fances view,

Captain Manton, who is a lineal de-
scendant OF Roger Williams and Mary

the men who are talking Of giving the
Philippines independence are trying to
stab the republic.
THE Western states look to these new
possession of ours for trade. he says.
and l should not blame them. IL, in case
of the election of Bryan and the surren-
dering of the islands, they raised tho flag

The captain further states that the
West depends upon those eastern islands
for its life. He also says we must look
out or the Rocky mountains will again

Captain Manton advises the United
States TO retain I'm China port of entry,
and coaling station. preferably Ming

rightfully claim any territory there.
