About Passed Away.
The peculiar excellence to which
the steel of Toledo owed it's extraordi-
nary fame throughout Europe is said
to have been due to some special vir>
tue possessed by the sand and water
of the Tagus, just as the glorious beer
of Munich is attributed to some spe.
cial property in the waters of the Isar,
The original iron came from the
Basque mines of Mondragon, and was
also deemed essential to the general
result. Now, however, both iron and
steel are imported from abroad and
the manufacture has sunk, if anything,
below the average mediocrity of Eu-
rope. This is as striking an evidence
| as any of the universal decadence of
Spain, for the famous weapons of To
ledo attracted attention in song as
far back as the days OF the Romans.
| The Moors, as usual, advanced the
art to it's highest pinnacle, and.
though the armorers of France and
Milan may have produced more artis-
tic designs, Shakespeare was certainly
justified in pronouncing "Toledo's
trusty' to be the soldiers dream"
Each OF the greatest makers had a
mark or crest of his own, and this was
regarded as an indispensable warrant

With an air of one used to all that

She gave her name as M. A. Morgan

clerk named Rhadigan was sent to the

With "I'll be back in just minute"

her. The clerk still had the coat for

Half an hour passed. The clerk be-

downstairs. The clerk knew nothing
of the young woman except that "she

The Woman,s Memory.

$50 he is deadi" the spinster said,
And wept, twould seem, unduly.
"Ah, he was one of Natures knights,
A gentleman, aye! truly.
This wicked world might fifty view
With feelings of self-pity
The passing of man so true.
So noble and so witty.
1t holds too few such pIen as he,
Who hail all men as brothers,
And who are never slow to see
The sterling worth of others.
He chung to Truth where'er he went,
Nor time nor place might matter,
For everything he said he meant
He never stopped to fiatter.
Good judgment backed his spoken
word,
And now consigned to earth,
'Twere fitting that the world accord
Due tribute to his worth"
The man she mourned was sixty-odd,
And there was little to him,
A plain old soul, in fact "a clod"
His neighbors said who knew him.
Her neighbors wondered how she
came
To know this Mr. Burton.
Said they: "He wasn't no old flame,
She's had none such. That's GER
tain!"
And that was true. Yet it appears
This man whose charms had caught
her
Had met her once in by-gone years;
Just once-and then forgot her.
But ah! she held his memory dear
And hailed his death with pity,
For he, in that long-vanished year,
Had told her she was pretty!

hanging suspended by ribbons from
the gas fixtures, one of those gigantic
cigars that dealers occasionally make
up for a sign, he'd send in and buy
that, unless 1t was too black; he pre-
ferred mild cigar, OF unless 1t was
plainly so all dried UP and the wrap
per SO loose that he knew it wouldn't
draw well, and there'd be no fun II
smoking it. There wasn't many of
these, in fact, that he could smoke,
and SO, as l said, he smoked mainly
pipe except for the cigars that
people gave him; and that letter 7
was speaking of to the old man was a
letter from the giant thanking the old
man for box of cigars that he sent
him on his birthday.
Most folks when they gave the
giant cigars gave him one or two Or
three, or maybe half dozen; the
old man, on this occasion, gave him a
hundred, | remember it well.
'The show was west at the time,
but the old man was just then in the
east; here in New York. He'd had
these cigars made Tor him in New
York, and sent them out.
when we got them we couldn't
tell from the outside packing box that
the cigar box came In what was inside
at all; but the minute we lifted the
top of the box we saw at a glance.
The old man had had these cigars
put up in red cedar box, with the
corners bound with paper, and all
that-a regular cigar box in style,
proportions and finish in every way;
in fact, except as to its great dime1-
sions-it was about the size of
medium-sized packing trunk--even TO
the markings showing the color
Colorado claro-on the ends of the
box, these being put on not with
small stencil such as would have been
suitable for an ordinary box, but with
one obviously made expressly having
letters that would look all right on
box of this size. You see, the old man
Just like him it was. too--had paid
attention to every little detail; and,
say, the thing tickled the giant i'm.
mensely.
He prided the cover open, and
pushed off the broad sheet of paper
laid along ON top of the cigars, and
there were, a hundred fine, mild
smokers. The giant tipped one down
by the end, lifted it out. and bit the
end off and lighted it, and it was good,
and he was just as pleased over it as
he could be, and then he handed the
box around and offered a cigar to the
rest of us.
"But nobody took one; we didn't
want to rob the giant, and then
guess that cigars of that size, even if
they were of mild tobacco would have
been leetle to hefty for most of us.
"And next day the giant sat down
and wrote that letter of thanks to the
old mans papers. My, my, MY It's
long time now since the giant
smoked those cigars, but this letter
brings it back SO wildly that can
actually smell the smoke. New York

At PARTING.

The time has come when Ger the
placid stream
OF things that were the portent of a
change
Is imminent. We try to rearrange
Our vision and gaze backward; thus
we deem
Ourselves enabled to retain our dream.
Awhile we play our foolish game,
and strange
New pleasure take in old past joys
that range
The lengthy gamut through. We try
TO seem
Contented, sorrow waiting at the
door.
Memorable Time demands his pay,
Postponement is not reckoned in
his lore;
Our payment must be made. Each
precious day
We grudgingly expend-we have no
more
Then bankrupt stand and face the
parting way.

The Word to the Water People.

Vino hath uttered the formless whis.
per,
The rumor afioat on the tide,
The need that speaks in the heart,
The craving that will not bide?
For the word without shape is
abroad,
The vernal portent of change;
And from winter grounds, empty to-
morrow,
The fin-folk will gather and range.
.
The tribes of the water people,
Scarlet and yellow and blue,
Are awake, for the old sea-magic
Is on them to rove anew.
They will ride in the great sea-rivers
And feed in the warm land streams
By cliffs where the gulls are nesting,
BY capes where the blue berg
CLEANS.
The fleet and shining thousands
VIII follow the trackless lead
OF the bidding that rises in them,
The old ancestral need.
"Will they mistrust or falter,
Question or turn or veer?
Will they put off their harness OF
color,
Or their gaudy hues ungear?
Eager, unwasted. undauntde,
They go and they go. They have
heard
The lift of the faint strong sum
mons,
The lure of the watery word"

any real solid satisfaction out of a

There are seven sisters that live all

In wonderful house of light;
And they sail away in the twilight

Out on the sea of night.
And never till morn are these sisters

For they stay in bed, they stay In

Orange, and Red.
But when it is day once more, once
more;
They rouse themselves from sleep;

1t will soon be time to play bo-peep
But they wait till the clouds have al

Then we say there's a rainbow over

SHOWS BIG GROWTH.
The Development Of Navigation on
the Great Lakes.
Aggregate Tonnage on the Lakes ~

Year Was 1,505, ,5s1
Tons.

The prospect Of an early opening
Of navigation on the great lakes and
the preparations made by the treas
ury bureau of statistics to continue
its work, inaugurated ia 1900, of gath
ering statistics of that commerce,
lends interest to a review of last
years business on Ene iakes com
pared By that bureau. The entire
commercial development Of the
great lakes and Of the territory CON
tiguous thereto has been embraced
within the century which has just
closed. and the more interesting
phases of it are presented by the rec
ord Of the past ten years. Prior TO
that time the growth had been by
leaps and bounds, interspersed with
periods Of depression, and during the
five years following 1878, when rail
competition first became active,
there was a very appreciable falling
of both IN vessel tonnage and the
volume of freight tran
Taking up first the accessions to
the tonnage engaged in the carrying
trade on the inland seas, it may be
noted that never prior to 1890 had the
lake tonnage reached an aggregate Of
100000 tons. In that year the ag
gregate tonnage was 1,O63,064 tons
and from that time until the present
day an almost steady increase has
been noted Never since 1889 has th'
total dropped below the 1,ooo,0OI
mark, and with the single exception
OF 1894 there has been no year where
in the tonnage sum has not shown al
increase over the preceding i
months. The minimum yearly in
crease during the decade was l4.05
tons and the maximum s6,O35 tons
the latter having been recorded
in 1897. while the year previous has {
gain Of s2.60s tons To its credit. Thl
aggregate sornage on the lakes a
the close o. tne las fiscal year (Jun'
30. 1900 was i.s65.5s tons, gain O.
502 .52f tons, or 32 per cent. during th'
interim covered by the comparison.
II Is Of interest also to consider thl
relation OF the lake feet 10 the yes

States. In 1891. for instance, whei
the aggregate tonnage under tn
American flag was 4.6s4.759. the ton

l.154,s70 tons, or over "a per cent
The aggregate tonnage for the ma
