"No, money, cyan't say l does" ad-

JUST MEDIUM.

He's not a curiosity
To draw the idle gaze:
He hasn't the verbOsity
To startle and amaze;
He isn't nearly small enough
To pose as side-show freak,
Nor is he even tall enough
AS giant fame to seek.
He hasn't the ability
To gain a store of pelf:
He also lacks facility
In drawing to himself.
BY arguments sophisticai.
The praise OF thoughtless men:
He isn't egotistical
When working with his pen
He hasn't the variety
OF superficial talk
That's needed in society
Successfully to walk:
He may be intellectual.
But, neither small nor great,
With rapping Intellectual
He pounds Fame's gilded gate.
In brain or corporosity <
He really ought to be \ \
A pygmy or monstrosity
That all would want to see:
A solemn man or comical
A wise one or a clown,
A puzzle anatomical.

To make two men illustrious-
The wise man and the fool;
And so in this community

Female Bird Rules.

Among several species of the birds Of
prey Difference for the female sex Is
shown which is not met with in the
great majority of the feathered kind,
declares an ardent student of the ways
of birds and beasts. He says:
Several years ago it was my fortune
to capture two young eagles of the
baldhead species. When meat was
thrown into the room where they were
confined. the male showed plainly how
great was his desire to pounce upon 1t,
but glance from his sister was suffi-
cient to keep him rooted to the perch
until she had finished. When beef and
other similar meals were given them,
this easy victory for the fair sex was
the rule, but when a fish was intro
duced it was only after a fierce fight
that the female succeeded in remind
ing her brother of the respect due her
"A pair Of young great horned owls
which at one time owned had also dis
played this female domination. I fed
them principally on live rats. and when
they were turned loose in the room the
male retained a stolid and Indifferent
pose upon his perch until the female
had satisfied her hunger, after which
he would dispatch what was left. Many
other are the instances among the ca
giles, hawks and owls in which the fe-
male bird Is the master of the situa-
."-Baltimore Sun.

got along fairly well together. 1t was
no ones business to question the junk,
and as she had fair wind she reeled
of the miles until midnight and then
ran close to the Spanish island and set
us ashore and towed our launch after
us. Our boat was stripped of arms and
coal, and all we could do was to find
an anchorage for her and wait to be
taken off. 1t was 3 o'clock next day
before this event happened and six
hours later when we reached Singa-
pore. OF course a searching vessel
was sent out, and later on old Whang
Ton was hunted for high and low, but
he somehow got clear off with every
dollar of that money and settled down
somewhere to live on the fat of the
land.

Once, when the late DR.. Tanner had
asked in the house whether it was true
that the Duke of Cambridge had re-
signed his position as commander in
chief, Major Jones of Penzance was
SO outraged that he challenged DR.. Tan
ner to duel, and the following tele-
graphic correspondence took place:
''In reply to your despicable question
about the Duke of Cambridge, desig-
nate you a coward. Delighted to give
you satisfaction across the water. Pts
tolls"
To which DR.. Tanner at once replied:
"Wire received. Will meet you to-
morrow in Constantinople, under the
tower of Galata, midnight. Being chal-
lenged, prefer torpedoes. Bring anoth-
err ass.-Tanner."

~AAO A~s~~s
1t is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness Is disease and
not weakness. A body filled with pois-
on, and nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of Intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and graduating this poison,
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
"HoME GOLD CURE" which has been per-
fected after many years of close study and
treatment of inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this wonderful
discovery Is positively guaranteed to cure
the most obstinate case, no matter how
hard a drinker. Our records show the
marvellous transformation of thousands OF
Drunkards into sober, Industrious and
upright men.
Wives Cure Your Husbands! Children
Cure Your Fathers /! This remedy Is In
no sense nostrum, but Is a specific for
this disease only, and Is SO skillfully de-
vised and prepared that 1t Is thoroughly
soluble and pleasant to the taste, so that
1t can be given in a cup Of coffee or tea
without the knowledge of the person
taking 1t. Thousands of Drunkards have
cured themselves with this priceless rem
dy, and as many more have been cured
and made temperate men by having the
"Cure" administered by loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge In
coffee or tea, and believe to-day that they
discontinued drinking of their own free
will. Do Not Wait. Do not be deluded
by apparent and misleading Improve
ment." Drive out the disease at once
and for all time. The "Home Gold Cure"
is sold at the extremely low price of One
Dollar, thus placing within reach of every
body treatment more effectual than
others costing $25 to $50. Full directions
accompany each package. Special ad-
vice by skilled physicians when requested
without extra charge. Sent postpaid to
any part of the world on receipt Of One
Dollar. Address Dept. A, 844, EDWIN b.

WITHOUT TURNING A HAIR,
A LOndoner Calmly Returned Mono!
Given to Him by Mistake.

A LOMdOner Calmly Returned Money
Given to Him by Mistake.
A gentleman of my acquaintance had
a curious experience of manners and
customs of modern England a few
nights ago at the theater. He had
taken four stalls. but at the last mo
ment found two of his party unable to
come. On his arrival at the theater he
left the two spare tickets at the box Of
flee, the clerk promising to sell them If
he could and send the cash to him
when they were sold. He took his
place and soon afterward was gratified
to see his two surplus seats occupied.
The individuals who took them were
attired in evening dress and bore the
outward semblance of gentlemen. My
friend began to look out for the money
which was to come from the box office.
Presently a concessionnaire entered,
passad down the row of seats and ad-
dressed one of the two newcomers. My
friend noticed that the commissionnaire
passed something to one Of the gentle
men, who put it into lis pocket with
out word.
A sense of uneasfness stole over my
friend with regard to the IL shillings
that was due to him. and as the even
ing was getting on he thought he
would go and make an inquiry at the
box office. His suspicious were veri-
fed. The clerk had sent in the money
by commissionnaire. The commission
naire was called from the door and on
seeing my friend at once realized that
he had given the money to the wrong
man. He promptly went back to the
theater. my friend following to see the
fun. The commissionnaire went straight
to the party to whom he had handed
the money and said. "'Ere, you've got
Is shillings that don't belong to you"
The other replied in an unconcerned
way, "Oh, yes!' took the money out of
his pocket and returned it to the com
missionnaire. He showed no trace of
embarrassment" says my friend. HE
handed back the money. as he had
pocketed it. without turning hair
always like to think the best of peo-
pie, and possibly this individual. being
stranger to music halls. was under
the impression that it is the practice of
the proprietors of such Establishments
to send a commissionnaire around from
time to time to distribute cash bonuses
among the audience.-London Truth.

When Bride and Groom Are Nervous.
Embarrassment appears to be the
natural concomitant of matrimOny. At
least this is true in the incipient stages.
Invariably. however. there is a striking
contrast between the relative compo-
sure of the man and the woman. Both
are nervous, but never both at the
same time. If they come a week be-
forehand to make arrangements. she is
ratified and he is cool, while on the
day of the ceremony she rises to the
occasion and he sinks under it. Thus
have never seen bride who was
scared. l have never seen a groom
who was not.-Rev. D. M. Steele in
Ladies' Home Journal.

THE CHANGING SKIES.
IA sonnet

A sonnet
Form follows cloudy form across the sky;
In crystal seas hoat islands of delight;
Grand turTats seem to guard yon mountains
height.
10, there the folded focks of evening lie!
Here rosy pillows heave and, breaking, sigh;
Archangels meet and clash their sabers bright.
See! Scarlet squadrons marshal in the nighfs
Pale wanderers lamps the midnight glorify.
In my life's sky dream follows dream of thee:
The wild majestic pageant passes on
Abodes, defenses warriors, herds, fair seas
hoods come and go; shape thou my destiny,
Thou who remain'st when all the dreams are
gone
My home, my strength, my glory and my
peace!

PECULIAR NAMES,
The Queer Way Ten Million Children
Were DeaiGnated.

The Queer Way Ten Million Children
Were Designated.
"In long experience in the treasury
department have come across a very
large number of names, many Of which
are rather peculiar" explained an old
official. but ! think the list of names
in connection with the subscription to
the per cent bonds surpasses any
thing in the way of popularity that |
have ever observed. or these the one
that struck me most was q man who
signed hiuTsvif Zen Million and who re
sides out in Oregon. We thought the9
name was an imaginative one and
wrote the man that 1t was desired that
the bonds should be registered in real
names only and that no further atten-
ton would be paid to his subscription
until he was heard from. He replied
that his name was Ten Million. His
letter was written on the printed letter
head of the firm of Million & Million,
two brothers.
''Then followed an explanation that
his father and mother were unable to
select names for their children that
were mutually satisfactory and that as
result. though they had had ten chill
dren. none Of them was ever christened
formally. The first child was a girl,
and she was known only as One Mil
lion. The second child. also a girl, was
known as Two Million. Thus they ran
along until Ten Million was reached,
and he was the writer OF Die letter, the
other member of the firm being a
brother whose only name. as far as the
family was concerned. was Seven Mil
lion, the seventh child. He added that
One Million had afterward called her
self Una Million. that the third girl was
known after she had grown up as Trio
Million. The others had taken on addi-
tons to their names. and he had adopt.
ed the name Of TENTS Million, but his
real name was Ten Million and nothing
else. The bonds were issued to him
and on the books Of the department
were registered in the name of Ten
Million. - Washington Star.
