SHE is MY LOVE.

I'm the measure of the original Irish Gaelic Low,
song
She is my love beyond all thought,
Though she hath wrought my deepest dole;
Yet dearer for the cruel pain
Than one who fain would make me whole
She is my slitterinQ gem Of gems.
Who yet contemns my fortune bright,
Whose check but glows with reddtr scorn
Since mine has worn stricken white.
She is my sun and moon and star,
Who yet so far and cold doth keep;
She would not even Ger my bier
One tender tear OF pity weep.
Into my heart unsought she came,
A wasting fame haunting care;
Into my heart OF hearts, ah, why?
And left a sigh forever there.

Things You Hear.

You no doubt "hear" things every
day that are not true and repeat them.
Try not to do it. 1t is surprising how
many things are told that are untrue
and cruel. 1t is surprising how many
people like this sort of talk. Be above
circulating an untrue and damaging
story about any one to oblige some mis-
chievous gossip.-Atchison Globe.

nn,vn the Chimnev.

Job May was one of the first settlers
of Bureau county, His. His cabin was
built on the side Of the river bluff. The
site for it was partly made by an eXca-
walton into the bank. so that the roof
was little above the ground. The chin
ney, built of stones, mud and sticks,
was huge affair, with Il fireplace six
feet wide in the living room.
One fall neighbor gave the May
boys an old blind horse. The little feI-
lows were delighted with Old Bob and
made a great pet Of him.
The second winter of Bob's life with
his young masters proved hard one.
The snow was deep, and the poor
horse, INSTALLED and with little hay
or grass. found existence doubtful
blessing.
One night Bob was wandering
around searching for comfort in some
form when he discovered that hot air
was rising from the chimney and took
up a position near by.
Suddenly the family, sitting around
the blazing log fire, We're startled by
a tremendous racket up the chimney,
and the next moment huge body
tumbled down into the fireplace. 1t
was Old Bob. who began snorting and
plunging about scattering hot Goals
and ashes in all directions.
The family fed with cries of dismay.
Old Bob was soon recognized and, with
one shoulder badly scorched, was led
limpin" ont the door. Meantime
there had eon scramblin" after the

STONE FENCE" TlPPLERS.
Connection. Topers Smack Their Lips Over
Jamaica Ginger and Hard Cider.

Greenwich. ct. Dec. 21-Temperance
people and out-and-out Prohibitionists
are becoming alarmed because OF the
drunkenness in no-license towns in
Connecticut and their inability to stop
it. The tipplers imbibe what are col
loquially called stone fences"
These are made of Jamaica ginger
and hard cider. Four drinks Of this
concoction are sufficient to send even
the best trained toddy drinker down
the street with a twist in his walk and
his head full of grand opera airs.
The stone fence" sells for 10 cents
a drink, and there is a wide margin of
profit at that price. 1t is made by any
body who is inclined to so into the
business and has the money with which
to buy the ingredients, and there is no
law to prevent the manufacture and
sale of it. The drink is said by physi-
clans to he "A hard proposition" for the
stomach to wrestle with, and those adj
dicted to it are quite likely to die from
gastritis. Inflammation of the kidneys
and Cirrhosis of the liver.
1t is said that the General Assembly
will be asked to pass law at its ses-
sion in January to place the decoction

DUN's REPORT.
Splendid Holiday Business and Distinct ir-
crease in Regular Channels.

New York, Dec. 21.-R G. Dun &,
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, tomor
row, will say: Better weather condi-
tions on the Atlantic seaboard and pro-
nounced activity in the distribution of
all staple lines of merchandise at
Southern cities have impaired a slight
ly more aggressive tone to general bus
mess. Distinctive holiday business
which means retail distribution, ha )
has shown further improvement, and
no complaint is heard from any quar-
ter. Railroad earnings for the first half
of December were 7.6 per cent. larger
than last year. and 1875 per cent. over
1898.
Unchanged conditions in the leading
manufacturing industries during the
last week before the holidays means
much. Instead of reduction of working
force or concessions in price this year
reports from the principal cities indi-
cate the existence of contracts that
will take months to fill and new sales
are made at the former level despite
much talk of cheaper ore next year.
Tin again dropped sharply taking the
price about 10 below the top and al
most to the level prevailing year
ago.
In the wool market last weeks sales
at the three chief Eastern markets
amounted to 1895. 900 pounds against
6.7S5S00 in the preceding week and g.
267.3 two weeks ago. Prices arc
steady but show no recovery from the
recent decline. and manufacturers pur-
chase only raw material to fill orders.
Another decline appeared in hides at
Chicago, taking the average back to
the level prevailing two months ago.
Leather was also easier. but the fin
ishcd product was well sustained by
shipments from Boston OF 80, S9S cases

Mr.. Haney admits that the syndi-
cate is under way and that the prospect
was that the yacht will be built by the
Hanley Works at Quincy Point.
Mr.. Hanley said, Friday, that while
no had no desire to conceal the fact
that a syndicate was being formed
with every prospect of success, any
discussion of details at this time would
be premature He talked on yachting

for doubt that he is a firm believer IN

international contest, believing that II
will outsail any keel boat in its class
that can be built.
Said Mr.. Hanley: Our candidate for
the trial races will be of wood through

practical purposes as she would De

she will have a wood frame and

are over she can easily be turned into
a comfortable schooner, that will not
draw so much water that she cannot
come up Boston harbor except at hlSh
tide.
The entire cost OF the boat will not
exceed s75 900. BY this mean that that
amount will cover the cost of construc-
ton. the wages of the crew and all
expenses to the end of the cup races.
