I know a winsome little girl

know a winsome little girl
Whose dancing feet are light
A thistle down that breezes whirl
To float in sunshine bright
A little girl with witching eyes
That smile like sunny summer skies
Upon whose blue no clouds arise
And in them mischief lies.
happy heart that singing goes
To mate with dancing feet.
guileless heart that only knows
Whate'er of life that's sweet;
dainty blossom, pink and white,
Capricious as a fairy sprite
That could not live without sunlight
And careless love would blight.
It's sad to think that years may feet
And bring woman's dover
To still those happy. dancing feet
With sorrows heavy power,
But love that watched the blossom rare
Will surely keep me ripe fruit fair
And teach the woman's heart to bear
Whate'er may come Of care.

DIPLOMATIC STATIONERY.
A story showing How II II Mlsused
Abroad For That Purpose.

The use of the official envelopes of the
United States by both French and Ger
mnn spies is an old dodge, and a great
many are stolen from the smaller consul
iatcs in Germany, where the folk in charge
are rather careless about their stationery.
Some inkling of this leaked out years ago.
and the thing was talked about in diplo'
matte and newspaper circles as good
joke.
Bret Harte was then in the consular
service in England, and naturally he
heard the yarn. II struck him as good
literary material, and he wrote a short
story based upon it, which was published
in one Of the London Christmas ANNALS
i think The Graphic-but | am not
quite sure, In either 1894 or 1905.
This story" continued the newspaper
man, twas quite different from Mr..
Harte's usual vein and was very clever
and amusing.
at purported to be the narrative of the
American consul at fortified city in in
terror GermSny and opened with the APP
pearance at the local garrison of a very
raw recruit, who speedily became the
butt Of his comrades.
''This poor fellow, who was the soul of
good natured idiocy, used to come to the
consulate to write letters TO his brother
In America and was allowed to help
himself to the Office stationery. Later on
he disappeared and was supposed to have
been drowned in the river while bathing.
1.-TWO years afterward the consul was
in Paris and while seated in front Of
boulevard cafe was accosted by a smart
young French captain in full uniform.
The face of the soldier was strangely
familiar, and suddenly a light broke in
upon the consul. The smart captain was
none other than the stupid recruit who
had dear brother in faraway America.
HE was French spy and match
less mimic, and the consul forgot his cha
grin over the misused stationery in his
admiration for the mans pluck and au-
dacity.
"The reader is given plainly to under
stand that the letters written at the
consulate never went to America, but
were addressed to a secret agent in Paris
and passed safely through the mails,
guarded by the official insignia of Uncle
Sam.

frmation of what have said in reference
to the use OF our envelopes by spies on
both sides."-San Francisco Chronicle.
