load of hotel managers who were out for
sail. 1 prepared TO eat them at once, for
they looked fat and juicy. They all made
a great fuss about this. and danced about
in their boat in a shameful manner and or
dered me TO clear out. 1 was just about 10

bright young fellow, who was not fright
ened as the rest, asked me to wait a min
ute. as he had plan TO propose. My lass,
always beware of people who have a plan
to propose. He said that he and his COM
panions would make only one meal for me-
which was very true. Then he said that il

as big as a boatlOad of men would make
This sounded very nice, and the result vas
that I let them go and agreed to stretch
myself for ten miles in the water along the
beach, and show bumps of my back every
day. This would attract large crowds of
people TO the seashore TO see me, and, OF
course, they would stay at the hotels. The
hotel managers were each to place barrel
of cold meats, pie, ice cream and such dam
ties on the beach every night, so 1 could
get at them after the people were all abed.
1 readily agreed not to eat any one who
up the ice cream and pie.

first season was a dream OF delight, and 1
gained seventeen hundred tons from not
having to swim around all the time in
search of food. The next season people
came in perfect crowds to the seashore TO
see me, and the hotels did fine business.
Then my troubles began.
"One day a man who called himself a
scientist came out in a boat and rowed
right up to a part of my back that hap
pened to be out OF the water. L could not
see him, because it was five miles away
from my head. He had the impotence TO
cut off one of my scales with an ak, and
by the time 1 could get my head around he
was back on the shore writing an article
for the newspapers, in which he called me
a reptilis horibilibusquis. 1t is awful TO be
called names like that, with no chance Of
getting even.
THE next week 1 happened to raise my
head to the surface of the water directly
under pavilion which had just been built
very far out, quite beyond the surf. 1 got

hotel men were not giving me enough les

my head above water. beautiful young la-'
dies came and stared me in the face and
said that 1 was i most hideous monster
and a perfect nightmare. II is true that
my features are not very good, and my
complexion is poor At that time my beard
needed trimming badly, and there were !
barnaeles on my upper lip, but l think it
was very il-bred Of them To talk that way
right TO my face, and it made me fearfully
ashamed Of my looks. After that L kept
my head under water all the time. and
only allowed bumps OF my back TO stick
up about a mile apart for people to see.

bills, shoes, patent medicines and even cir
cuses. They did it so gently that 1 didn't
know anything about it, They kept this up
for days. and after a while covered every:
part OF my back with their horrible bills.
The people at the hotels were very angry,
and they called me a fraud. as they had
come TO the seashore to see a sea serpent;
and could see nothing but a lot OF three
colored posters sticking up out OF the
water. They began 10 leave the hotels. and
then the hotel managers stopped giving me
any food.
"Of course 1 had TO so away to look for
something 10 eat, as / used 10 do. and
was ashamed Of being used for a bill
board that have never shown my face
above water since"

Wavelette, and. thanking Snakibus hur-
riedly, she dived under wave and swan
down TO the bottom Of the sea as fast as
she could, for fear that some billposter
might come along and stick a bill on her
tail. She told the other mermaids about
the fearful people called ''billposters" that
lived on the shore. and they all said: My

time TO this no mermaid has ever disobeyed
Neptune and come up 10 the top OF thu
ocean, for they are all afraid that a bill
poster might be about and stick circus bills
or posters advertising patent corn cures
on their tails.

Sweet the exultance of song
But the strain that precedes IL Is sweeter:
And never was poem Yet writ
But the meaning out-mastered the meter.
Never a daisy that grows

But a stronger than he did enfold him:
Nor ever a prohpet foretells-
But a mightier seer hath foretold him.

The painter is limited and hidden;
Into the statue that breathes,
The soul Of the sculptor is hidden;
Under the joy that is felt,
Lie the infinite issues OF feeling;
Growing the glory revealed,
Is the glory that crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols of being
But that which is symboled is greater;
Vast the create and beheld-
But Vaster the inward creator;

Back OF the gift stands the giving;
Back OF the hand that receives,

An Evening Use for schoolhouses.

Arthur Lawrence Sweetser, in Gunton's
Magazine.
Why do our schoolhouses lie idle during
the evening? Throughout the large cities
these schoolhouses are scattered accord
ing TO districts and as each is provided
with an exhibition hall why not let some
charitable organization take charge Of this
during the evening? Here old pupils could
meet, hear lectures and play games The
only expense would be for light. heat and
janitor service for two or three hours, and
even this would be offset by selling tea or
coffee. Thus without any expense &c the
community at large a suitable place would
be provided which could do as much good
as the coffee houses for those who former
~ came there for instruction would prefer
10 return TO the old place rather than go
TO charitable institution. which they

the Cause.

Hudson. Wis, June 4. - At 7 o'clock
yesterday morning fire broke out in the
railway car plant of the Chicago. st.
Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha Railway
company and completely destroyed the
freight car building, together with all
its contents.
The loss is placed at 500, 900. and over
one hundred men will be thrown out
Of work pending reconstruction. One
coach, Jour refrigerator cars and some
twenty-five freight cars were con.
cumed, together with much stock and
machinery. Many of the men owned
their own kits of tools, valued at from
$50 to 800 each, all OF which were lost.
Spontaneous combustion in cotton
waste is thought to have been the
cause. The company had some insur-
ance. They will probably rebuild at
once. as there are still six or eight
large buildings in the plant. Engines
were summoned from St. Paul to aid
in fighting the fire.
