Tn first of. it, sir-well, it's easy,
But tn other, it's hard, sir, to say.
You didn't know him so we'll, sir,
He never set down on your knee,

Like he always used to with me.

1NDEsTRUCT1BLE.

A wreath of roses hung upon a stone
Above me, this alone.
A sob that floats and falling tear on
tear
Descending here.
Some soul in sorrow kneeling at the
tomb
And in the gloom
Pouring above me to the silent air
Its deep, despair.
Tho cold the pulseless clay and deaf
Yet I shall hear.
Tho the thick shadows endlessly shall
flow,
Yet I shall know.
Tho from the dead, dumb tenement in
fight
Wing life and light.
Yet not deserted lies the silent clay
For Love shall stay.
Crumble the stone and in the dust
shall lie,
Yet Love not die.
Through the long night, where the
dark shadows creep
Not rel sleep.
But whisper from the silence Of the
bier:
: 10! am here!"
THOSE OTHER DAYS.
Do you remember, dear, those other
days,
That blossomed in the springtime OF
our years,
Where Memory's fading love-light only
plays
And we but see them dimly through
our tears.
Those other days, when hopes and
hearts were young,

AN AFTERNOON OUT.

No, really I cant stay!
It's two o'clock. You say
They're separated? Well!
But then they just do tell
Some awful things of Joe.
I wonder if it's so?
It's too bad if it is.
But the faults not all his

No, really I can't stay!
oh, really I must go!
It's three o'clock you know.
oh, by the way, I hear
Sue Flip's engaged. Dear. dear!
There's still some hope for me
If it is true that she
Has caught some one. They say
He's rich, too. Well, it may
Be true. L wonder what
Disagreement he's got!
Oh, my, no, I can't stay
Another second. Say,
They've given up the fair
You know, and I declare
That as the matter stands
I'm going to wash my hands
OF the whole thing. 1 fear
Twill raise a row. Dear, dear!
To fret and work and fuss
For this! Ridiculous!
Well, really I declare
It's five o'clock! There, there!
How time has slipped away!
l only thought to stay
A minute. How is Dick?
l heard that he was sick
And just ran in to see.
No, no, no! Don't ask me
To stay to tea. You know
I really ought to go!
oh, well, of course I'll stay
If you put it that way!
l couldn't resist that.
l won't take off my hat.
Dear, tell me how you make
That lovely chocolate cake
I have the recipe
But it won't work for me.
Come and see me, dear, try
Won't you?
Good bye!"

nearly five times as much money on
deposit as there IS capital stock.

"She's MY Mother, !,

1t was at the close of the Knights
Templar festivities in Denver, and the
depot was crowded to its utmost capac-
ity-the platforms We're packed with
humanity like sardines in a box. 1t
was impossible to move foot in either
direction.
Suddenly through train backed in.
and what a scramble and rush there
was. 1t resulted, Of course, in solid
wall of humanity.
At once lane began to open up in
that almost impregnable wall, and the
wonder of those there was how such
a seeming miracle was possible.
Looking to his right, the gentleman
who related the incident, told me that
he saw coming toward him a hand
some, rosy-cheeked, full-bearded young
fellow, at least feet in height, broad
chested and giant of healthy young
manhood. In his arms, held close to
his heart, was thin, gray-headed old
woman, in the last stages of the dread
monster-co AS he came
along, he kept saying:
She my mother, uoSs, sAe NY
mother"
Caps were off; laughter stopped.
"Stand back, boys; stand back; it is
his MOTHER passed from lip to lip.
That's what opened the lane for this
big boy and his mother, as he held her
to his breast, where in the years gone
by she had held him and nursed him
when he was as helpless as she was
now.
Maybe she's gone by this time, and if
she has, I'll wager that she's up there
near the gates of pearl, and when that
big, young fellow approaches it she'll
say:
Lord, please let him in; he's my boy
and he didn't forget his mother -

WOMEN WHO SELL PAPERS
Com parativeiy Few of the Sex in the
Business in Chicaun

Comparatively Few of the Sex in the
Business in Chicago.
There are not many women in Chi
cago who follow the business of selling
newspapers on the street, but those who
do are not lacking in persistency, says
the Chronicle. They have several ad-
vantages over boys, one being their
sex and age, which appeal to buyers of
papers; another is a commotion on the
street does not divert them from their
calling. Their memory of faces is re-
markable. When man buys paper
twice of woman he is looked upon as
a regular customer, and if he does not
keep it up from day to day she puts on
the look of one who is injured. This
little trick works well. Not a few men
will make it point to defer purchas-
ing until they reach her street corner
Not few men regard the patronizing
of such persons as a sort of charity and
that makes them like to put themselves
out little to do it.. All these charac-
teristics of men the woman vender of
newspapers understands, and with ev-
cry sale there goes with the paper a
look and smile which make the buyer
feel in his soul that he is ameliorating
the condition of the poor and he comes
again.
Nearly all women street venders of
newspapers in Chicago are consider

HOW CHINESE ARE ARMED.
They Have Great Faith in Lantern
Which They Carry Everywhere,

They Have Great Faith in Lanterns,
Which They Garry Everywhere.
A large part of the success of Chi
nese armies in times past has been
due to their ability to strike terror to
the hearts of their enemies, so every
corps has its regiment of "terror strik-
ers." dressed in the most preposterous
costumes and drilled in outlandish
poses, acrobatic feats and facial grim
aces.
Another peculiar part of a Chinese
soldiers equipment Is his lantern. 1t
Is not to be supposed that they could
see their way by night unless each car
ried a light. and in one of the recent
attacks on Tien-tsin the Chinese forces
advanced, each soldier carrying his
lantern. The allies waited until the
Chinese were within easy distance and
then opened on them with a rapid-fire
gun, whereupon the Chinese fled, leav-
ing their lanterns on the field.
Still others of the Chinese forces are
armed with their ancient gingals, the
first of firearms invented, loaded with
powder and shot and touched off at the
vent with a stick of lighted Incense
These old guns have been In use among
the Chinese for upward of 1,5OO years.
But alongside of these same regi-
ments are others using almost every
known kind of modern arms and drill

tary powers. Over fifteen makes Of
modern rifles and muskets are known
to be in use in the Chinese armies, and
great decentralization has frequently
occurred by the dealing out of ammu-
milton for one kind of gun to a regi-
ment that used another. In the main,
however, the Chinese have been apt

There are a few women who are in
the trade as business. They are out
early and late, always on hand for the
first issue of the Extra" and they
push themselves forward quite as ac-
lively as the newsboys hustle Such
women do not resort to subterfuge
They do not play for sympathy, nor do
they claim any favors because of their
sex. They rely upon their push, en-
ergy and perhaps love of the excite
ment. Anyway. they go about it like a
merchant who knows his goods have
merit and that it is his business to
proclaim that fact far and near.
There are few quite old women in
the business of selling newspapers on
the street, and their age and feebleness
oblige them to have a-regular place to
sit down. They have regular customers
who buy Of them out of honest SYM
pathy because it is their chief If not
their only means of support, and rarely
ever is change asked when a nickel is
given. This class, as a rule. are neat
and clean in appearance and express
their gratitude with their eyes rather
than in words. 1t may be said that
there are no young women in the busi
ness of selling newspapers on the
Der Of girls ranging in age from to u
years, and nearly all of them are bold,
persistent and always chewing gum.
They look untidy and seem to have no
ambition to better their condition.
