Sons Lovemaking.

She was pouring at tea that after
noon, and she looked unusually be-
witching. He was sitting at her left
in a bower of palms that almost con-
cealed him. He was holding one of her
hands under cover of the tablecloth,
while she tried to pour with the other
She did not look at him as he talked,
but he knew by her color and the little
quiver of the hand he was holding that
she heard everything he said.

one cup off without spoon and anoth-

dearest, If you don't mind my saying
all this % you, just drop spoon.
Couldn't you manage it?'

the girls face as, in STOPPING to pick

One, two, three! The tiny cup was
almost full, but in her haste to hide

REMEMBRANCE.

IN lone bleak wood q wild rose grew.
No eye ever saw II, no mind ever knew,
But the flower was none the less as fair
A any that ever brcsthed the air.
II gazed up TO the calm, cold sky
And shuddered to think II soon must die.
II languished, and its heart grew chill;
The caress Of q zephyr might well nigh kill,
But a passing breeze gave encouragement
And bore afar it's delicate scent;
The breeze thus laden kissed child
Who played in the meadow and. pausing, smileh
The dear enchantmeht Of that spot
The child. through a lifetime, never forgot.
The soul OF the rose, with its last sweet breath,
Lcaped forth 10 meet approaching death,
And gave 10 the breeze every crimson hake;
'Twss sll It had, for memory's sake.
No eye ever saw II. no mind ever guessed
The sweetness Of its final rest.
How came to know itH Twas told by the dew
How sweet Is Remembrance. and tell you.

A Lunatic's wit.

As Horace Mann sat in his study one
evening an insane man rushed into the

accommodate you, but can't do it, the
odds are SO unfair am a Mann by

The insane man answered: "Come

myself. Let us four have fight"

had look of determination on his face.
AS he ascended the well worn stairs
his tread showed aggressiyeness. AS

White Moose.

The white moose OF Minnesota Is at
It again. Like the dappled tiger in
Kiplings inimitable story, this beast
makes his spectral appearance at un-
expected times and at irregular inter-
walls, and when reported there is bound
to be a commotion. Unlike the tiger,
the advent OF the white moose is not a
sign Of trouble. but it is the sign of
much unrest and activity. For every
rifle owner in Minnesota has heard the
story since his babyhood, and would
swap a finger for that moose without
stopping to think.
This white moose is said to be a
monster. There never was a moose of
any color since the world began so big.
1t is bull. OF course and is credited
with the speed of a hurricane.
And now the question arises, as ii has
often arisen before, is there any white
moose? 1t is safer to ask the question
here in New York than out in the Min
nesota woods, where thousands of ma
tives know people who have seen It.
Stili, 1t will strike you as singular that
search as you may you will never find
man who saw the white moose with
his own eyes. So far as evidence Is
concerned he is a creature OF rumor.
Nevertheless, there are hundreds now
starting into the woods for the win
ter shooting who openly express the
hope of a shot at the white moose
