A TALE WITH A MORAL.

She was little girl, Evelyn by
name, of certain age, but of very UNI
certain speech and manners, accor,>
ing to the New York Evening Sun.
She had way of disclosing family
secrets and exposing her older sis
ters condolences which, try as they
would, she always managed to hear,
that was simply awful, they SAID.
Their mother said Evelyn was try
ing but her sisters declared THAI
she was downright naughty. Ore
summer afternoon two of her sisters
were sitting on the piazza entertain
ing a new young man. He was A
recent acquaintance, an unknown
quantity to the girls, but not so to
Miss Evelyn. who has become very
friendly with him from the first, and
was now in fair way to hug him to
death. A few minutes before he ar
rived she had been occupying large
rocker on the piazza. When her big
sister came out Evelyn was asked II
she wouldn't please sit on the step
and let her sister have the rocker.
She vacated the chair rather re.
luctantly, but later when the caller a
rived and took a seat beside her the
clouds were dispelled and her position
assumed more pleasing aspect.

HER oLpEN BOOK.

A bar of gold across a study floor,
A glimpse of meadow through an open
door
A dark head bent above an ancient
book
And all is glorified wherein look.
The gold has faded from the study
floor,
Closed to the light that once wide
open door;
A shadow rests upon the ancient book,
And all is desolate wherein / look.
you told
Sweeter than any life and youth un-
fold?
Dearer than friend. than touch of
lovers hand?
Has she but sought you in another
land?
Her dark head lies beneath a carven
stone;
Through the slow hours | work and
wait alone;
Awake! AdreaIn! see in yonder nook
A thin hand laid upon an open book.
The frail, pale fingers fade in dust
away.
And yeti see them in the twilight's
gray,
When dusk yields mysteries to each
questioning look,
Gently caress her treasured, olden
book.
Dear shadow hands! We never seek
Yet since We left me, void the world
hath grown,
lrksome the task-it fails-I can but
look,
In fond expectance on thy olden book
Bearer the book than human to thy
heart.
From thy lone grave thou com'st when
shadows start;
Vainly | wait, vainly / long and look;
Thy thin hand touches but an olden
book.
All, grave! that holds my all of dear
and fair,
The hand that wrote, the hand that
clasped is there,
Yet time preserves this faded, olden
book
And cheats with shadow-hands Loves
longing look.

IsADoRE's LAST EXCUSE.

In one OF the West Side schools of
Chicago, says the Chicago Tribune, a
teacher in the primary grades had lad
great difficulty in impressing on her
pupils the necessity of bringing writ
ten excuses when, for good reasons,
they We're absent or tardy.
One of the families was that of a
little boy named Isadore. His parents
had been in this country but short
time and did not understand the
American customs. but finally the
teacher, after several calls, succeeded
in impressing on them the import
ance of what she asked.
Two or three weeks later Isadore
was absent for three days. The
teacher made up her mind that some
thing serious must be the matter. The
boy was bright and willing pupil
and she had become much interested
in him. Finally on the morning OF
the fourth day another pupil whose
parents lived on the same block with
Isadore came up to the teachers desk
when he reached school in the norm
ing and handed up tear-stained and
dirty little piece of paper
Dear teacher" it said, il painful
ly laborious letters, please excuse
Isadore for being absent. He is dead"

He would hold the rooster on his

poor Sailor was consumed with re-
morse, for he and Tan had been chums
for nearly eight years, and were de-

morals had to be maintained, and with
Sailor duty came first So rather than
see his friend disgrace himself forever
he determined to resort to strenuous

However, we were not doing blind

really ran Juggler on the boulevard at
dawn's early light. | don't mind tell
ing YOU right now-what we didn't
know ourselves until later-that both
of these rubbers went right to sleep
in their little white trunkle beds in
stead of seeing to it that Juggler had
his quick exercise.
Eyes, Juggler won-by about quar-
ter of mile. The boy who needed it
so bad had piped us through the sewer
system, and am free to say that when
! we returned to Philadelphia We aid
not cherish that boy any more.
"'Far be it from me- remarked

to fetch him home that that's the only
way he's going to be ridden in the

Fifteen hundred is about what he
thought he could do the job for, and

CAUGHT JOCKEY AT LAST.
Boy Who Wanted All the Money Gets
Cents in Place of Dollars.

There was one little riding boy
| down there at Gloucester about ri
years of age, who required the coin so
bad that he got into the habit of going
| after it with a pitchfork and a dog
catchers net. His idea was to get all
the money in the world cornered," says
story-teller in the Chicago Inter
! Ocean.
He was a great jockey-one of the
| best that ever shook poker dice. He
| could take a horse out of the shafts of
| hardware delivery wagon and nurse
him home at 200 to /, or write your
own ticket, and he could on the other
hand, choke to death 1-to-15 thing
that the owner had mortgaged the old
manor house upon.
He was hard to buy. You'd say,
5000 for this, and he'd chew a blade
of grass and gaze dreamily at the blue
sky. Then you'd bunch it along to
$500 for the job, and he'd reach over
and pluck straw out of the bale and
look the other way.
Then you'd mention $500, just to
see how he took it, and he'd say that
he had date with his wife in Camden
to buy hat. Then you'd indicate
$500 as your outside figure, and he'd
yawn and tell you. that, really you
ought to be running sweatshop,
where wages were low.
Finally. you'd name the figure that
you actually meant to cough up for the
job, and he'd tell you that you could
split the difference and make it half
as much again, or get somebody else
to DO your navigating.
"A friend of mine had horse that
ne had named Juggler. Juggler could
run fast. At any time he went after
it, at any distance, with any kind of
weight up to a bale of hay, he knew
how to get home.
well, one day after Juggler had
won a 2-to-5 race in dog lope, the
man who owned him hadn't a cent,
having gone to the bad playing the
other ones. and he came to me with
his grief.
Tive got Juggler in for Thursday,
he said, and, of course, he'll be the
short-priced one. The bunch he's got
to meet is leetle bit better than he's

Ten minutes later had undertaken
to pay him $1,000 in arvance for the
little piece of work.
The only way said to the boy,
then. that you can beat Juggler is to
wear him out before the race. II you
