I'VE all of us have our secret horde

Things that are neither OF value or rare,
Or for which any one else would care,
Yet priceless to us and we keep them stored
Far from the sight of all other eyes"

This treasure that dearly prize
Above all other store,
And on it gaze with tear-dimmed eyes,
My sainted mother wore.
For with this dainty, sacred lace
I've cherished many year,

And gentle presence near.
Her eyes of deep and tender blue
With heavens clear radiance shine,
And from her heart 80 warm and true
Look fondly into mine.
Her loving voice so low and sweet
Recalls our household band
Again the loved and lost | meet
In childhood's sunny land.

his article, "A Plea for Old, Age Pen

in a paper with this title in the same num-
Der OF The Forum. Mr.. Lecky thinks
that the establishment of an old age pen

dangers, and would weaken the spirit of
thrift, providence, and self reliance, and
at the same time lower wages. Both Mr.

Eugene V. Smalley, whose death oc-
Cured recently at St. Paul, MINI, where
he had for nearly twenty years edited and
published the Northwest Magazine, de-
voted to the interests of the empire open
ed by the Northern Pacific railroad, was
a journalist of the rapidly disappearing
old school. He was native of Ohio, a
near neighbor and friend of the late Pres
ident Garfield, who in form, feature
aud character he closely resembled. He
came to Washington in 1869 Or 1870 and
was clerk of a house committee of which
Garfield was chairman. He was also en- :
gagged in newspaper work, and for some
ten years was an earnest and valued work
er on the staff of the New York Tribune.
After leaving the active ranks of daily
journalism Mr.. Smalley was an occasion
al contributor to the press, and his arti
cles were always interesting. There are
few now left of the Washington CORE

The Country Editor.

The country editor now dictates his
editorials and employs a bright young
man to write local news. His paper is
printed on an improved press, the
power is furnished by gas engine or
electric motor, and the paper is folded
by machinery. He owns his own home,
keeps his own horse and carriage, and
has credit at the bank. A pleasure trip
of a month is likely to be offered at
any time, and he takes it gladly, while
the young woman who keeps the books
and the bright young man who writes
local news keep the paper in straight

MAX NORDAU AT HOME.
Lives Above a Drinking Shop in Plainly
Fashioned Rooms.

Fashioned Rooms.
Max Nordau lives in Paris above a
drinking shop. 1t appears that the
name "Nordau" was originally used by
its owner as a pseudonym to news
paper contributions. With the con-
sent of his father, Herr Sudfeld, a
well-known Pesth Hebraist, he legally
assumed it, transforming himself from
South Field" (Sudfeld) into North
Meadow" (Nordau), says Literary Life.
Except when he is visiting his patients,
DR.. Nardau spends all his time in his
study. This room Is plainly furnished.
A bookcase Is one of its conspicuous
features. Among the books are many
presentation copies Of Lombroso's
works. With this author and scientist
DR.. Nordau keeps up constant corre-
spondence and prides himself on be-
ing one of the very few men in Europe
who can dicipher the professors hand
writing which appears to most people
entirely illegible. Leading out of this
room is Nordau's barely furnished bed
room, the camp bedstead of which may
be seen through the open door. A
small trapeze hanging through the
doorway would seem to indicate that he
has faith in "parlor gymnastics" 1t
is in this room that all books since the
publication of Degeneration" have
been written, and where he is at pres
ent writing a novel.

The story of these gentlemen and
their duel-a famous one formerly-is
revived, and the tale is thus repeated:
A duel was lately fought in Texas by
Alexander Shott and John S. Mott.
Mott was shot, and Shot was not. In
this case it is better to be Shott than
Mott. There was rumor that Mott
was not shot, but Shott avows that
he was not, which proves either that
the shot Shot shot at Mott was not
shot, or. that Mott was shot notwith-
standing. 1t may be made to appear
on trial that the shot Shott shot shot
Mott, or, as accidents with firearms
are frequent, it may be possible that
the shot Shott shot shot Shot him
