THAT SETTLED HIM.
A Stntesman's Happy Method of Dis
posing of Troublesome
Place Hunters.

A celebrated statesman had happy
way of ridding himself of applicants
for diplomatic and other posts. The
son of an old friend called upon him
one day to bespeak his influence in
getting him an important embassy,
relates London TitBits.
"Mr. F." said the minister, mo-
tioning his visitor to a chair, 81 am

Humor of Major venabIe.

Mai Richard NJ. Venable, of Balti-
more, is one of the leading lawyers
of the south, and one of the most
distinguished lecturers on law in
Maryland. He is a Nirginian who
went to Baltimore after the war, and
who has become identified with the
city. In the recent reform move
ment, which won, and which saved
the people a great deal of money, he
was elected to one of the most re-
sponsible positions in the municipal
legislature, the presidency of the
council branch which had to do with
the budget. There is probably no
keener wit in the whole country. lie
has the dry, solemn manner which ac-
centuates his points, and some of
his puns have become famous. For
instance, after a trip to England and
Egypt he was speaking of the things
that impressed BIN in both coun-
tries-in one, of fields and flowers;
in the other, the rows of preserved
bodies. Indeed" he said, very sober
ly, "the mummies of Egypt seemed to
be almost as numerous as the pop
pies of England. ."-Harper's Weekly.

"Did you? Mr.. Lucius Bainbridge

Griswold was struck dumb with
this fresh proof of the extreme mar
rowness of the world, and wondered
what would happen if cambridge
should perchance come again and
find him in Wahaska. He changed
the subject with a violent wrench,
and said:
"The new opera house is to be
opened next week. | wonder if the
company will be worth going to

You surprise me-" she said.
Haven't you heard that Mr.. Grier-
son is to import it especially for this
occasion?"

Griswold turned quickly to Char
lotte.
MAY ] call for you and your fa-
ther?" She gave him permission,
and after that the tete-a-tete passed
to other things; to gay party
steaming past in lighted launch,
for one.
"Is that the hotel launch?" he
asked.
mo, indeed; you are quite behind
the times. That is Mr.. Grierson's
boat with a party from Mereside."
The Farnham lawn slopcd quickly
to the waterside, and the launch was
steaming slowly along within a
stones throw of the group on the
veranda. The little steamer carried
its own dynamo, and was ablaze with
electric lights. Griswold saw the
party as it passed in review; saw
Miss Grierson at the wheel in the
bow, and saw the banker lounging
in the stern sheets. With the ex-
ception of her father and one other
Miss Grierson's guests were all
young people; but Griswold caught
his breath when he recognized the
portly figure sitting erect beside the
banker. Truly, he had seen the
clean-shaven face with its long up
per lip but once, but that once was
enough. 1t was Mr.. Andrew Gal
braith.

A Medieval Survival.

The inhabitants of a far-away vii
lage in Surrey have been enjoying a
quaint medieval survival in the sale
by auction of local meadow. Long
ago, when the world was not so busy
as it is to-day, the landlord of the
"White Brown Meadow" at Bourne
bequeathed the meadow subject to
an auction sale which every now and
again adds to the gayety of this
rural population. At each bid a boy
sets out to run to given point, and
the "White Brown Meadow" is let to
the bidder whose offer is unchal-
!enged when the last boy returns.
Equally curious is the candle-light
auction at Wharton in Warwickshire,
where the right of grazing upon the
roadside and the common lands is
sold each year to the men who bids
highest before the last flicker of a
candle dies away. AS the tallow
candle burns away the bidding be.

as auctionccr, encourages the bidders
with such phrases as Get on, gen.

DURABILITY OF WOODS.
Scientific Experiments from the Re-
suits of Which Many Practical
Lessons May he Learned

Experiments have been lately made
by driving sticks, made of different
woods, each two feet long and one and
one-half inches square, into the
ground, only one-half an inch project
ing outward. 1t was found that in five
years all those made of oak, elm, ash, ,
fir, soft mahogany, and nearly every
variety of pine, were totally rotten.
Larch, hard pine and teak wood were
decayed on the outside only; while
acacia, with the exception of being
also slightly attacked on the exterior,
was otherwise sound. Hard mahogany
and cedar of Lebanon were in tolerably
good condition; but only Virginia ce-
dar was found as good as when put in
the ground. This is of some impor-
tance to builders, showing what woods
should be avoided and what others
used by preference in underground
work. The duration of wood when
kept dry is very great, as beams still
exist which are known to be nearly
1,1O0 years old. Piles driven by the
Romans prior to the Christian era have
been examined of late and found to be
perfectly sound after an immersion of
nearly 1000 years. The wood of some
tools will last longer than the metals,
as in spades, hoes and plows. In other
tools the wood is first gone, as in wag-
ons, wheelbarrows and machines. Such
wood should be painted or oiled; the
paint not only looks well, but pre-
serves the wood. Petroleum oil is as
good as any other. Hardwood stumps
decay in five or six years, spruce
stumps decay in about the same time.
hemlock stumps in eight to nine years,
cedar eight to nine years, pine stumps
never. Cedar, oak, yellow pine and
chestnut are the most durable woods
in dry places.-Boston Budget.

THE LAST DREAM.

'%Nay, give me back my spinning Wheel"
She prayed: "Ah. look, my hands are
strong,
Give back the spindle and the reel
My needs to the dead past belong
The old time fancles round me throng
And make me young and blithe once more
with my spinning wheel beside the door.
'''Eor one, upon a time like this
Came up the DID, sweet orchard way.
And took our first betrothal kiss;
An hour like this, all warm and gray,
With shadows flung like dreams at play,
Aad long he would not so, but stayed
Eor love of me. his spinning maid.
'~He came up through the pirxter blows
He loved the soft, unfolding flowers,
ana even now, when Hesperus glows
Through the faint shadowed, fragrant
hours,
When things are sweet with drifting
showers,
Z hear his step, again l feel
The lost thrill of my spinning wheel.
He said he loved this leafy place,
And loved the old wheels drowsy tune:
44e had the poets tender grace
Twas like a-somethiug old-a rune,
Some hymn-like thing, like Bonnie Doom,
While up and down, with joyous tread
! walked ana drew my long white thread.
And when hear the one great call
That BIDS me hence, thisis my prayer
To 80 when nights first shadows fall
They Il hide my old gray face, and hair,
They'll take me in this homely chair
20 where my lost love lies, and make
Ray grave by his-for old love- 5 sake"
TEer heart beat with the happy press
OF old remembered dreams ard s!ghs,
EGr lips were sweet with tenderness
OF love that never fades or dies.
The love light Of the sunset skies
Crept up and kissed her faded eyes,
Ana a the white head trembled down,
WGve round 1t the saints shining crown.

Getting draft cashed, I pro-

Getting draft cashed, 1 pro-
sumed."
"Where would that draft be now?"
"In the possession of the issuing
bank, and probably cancelled long
since. 1t couldn't be traced or
identified. We've been over all that"
"Of course; but / was hoping we
might stumble upon something tnat
had been overlooked. May use the
'phoneY'
"Certainly."
Griffin shut himself into the
'phone-boX and called up the wharf
masters Office on the levee.
'Hello! Is this Robertson? Say,
Dick, where is the Belle Julie now?
Up-river, you say? All right; l am
coming down to get you to wire
Capt. Mayfeld for me-"
The wire" sent little later from
the wharf-master's Office asked for
a list of the Belle jules lady pas
sengers on that voyage which began
on the day of the robbery. Griffin
was not above swearing little when
the answer came. 1t was string of
twenty-odd names, and to have
speech with these twenty-odd women
meant weeks of continuous travel
for the detective.
That being the next move in the
game, however, he set about making
it methodically, beginning with
those most accessible, and working
through the list from name to
name; and at the end of weeks he
had interviewed every woman on the
list save two. These two lived in
a small inland city in Minnesota, and
when he turned his face northward
to try the final cast of the die he
was weary enough to be disheart-
ened, if disheartenment had been
admissible.
1t was evening when he reached
Wahaska, and since it was too late
to do anything he promised himself
that he would smoke but a single
cigar and go to bed. But when tho
cigar was alight he left the hotel to
smoke it in the open. There was
an unusual stir in the streets, and a
question asked of chance passer-by
evoked the reason. The new Grier.
son opera house was to be opened
that night by a company imported
from Chicago for the occasion, and
everybody was going to the theater

After all, it was Raymer who was
responsible for Griswold's introduc-

was after the partnerships silent
partnership by Griswold's express
condition--had been formed and
Griswold had been taken into the
Raymer household as well as into
the Raymer firm.
1t was thus that he found him
self included in a family invitation
to the doctors, and it was thus that
Raymer became his sponsor. Not
that a sponsor was greatly needed.
The good doctor had come to know
and to love his sometime patient,
and the invitation to Griswold in his
proper person had not been lacking.
1t was inevitable that he should
meet Miss Farnham with some de-
gree of restraint, and that the en-
tire evening should scarcely suffice
for its effacement. AS a matter of
fact it was not properly effaced un-
til the time came for an adjourn
ment to the broad veranda, and the

They had reached Mrs. Holcomb's
gate and Raymer cramped the buggy
at the curb. But Griswold did not
get out. Instead he put one hand on
Raymer's knee and said: "Have you
ever thought of taking a partner?"
Raymer's smile was a mere grim
ace.

good right to be. But he managed
to ask how.

didn't understand me. It's ninety

slowly, so that the misunderstanding
might be removed.
Griswold climbed out of the buggy
carefully, as beftted his weakness.
But when he turned to say good
night his grasp was the grasp of an
athlete.

darkness of the stariit night helped
him. He fancied, and assured him
self a hundred times that it was
only fancy, that he could now and
then surprise vague question in
the cool gray eyes; and with the
eyes in allegiance he felt more at
ease.
"You are new to our northern
summers, aren't you, Mr.. Griswold? q"
she asked, when they were comfort

the general talk had subsided suf-
ticiently to admit of dialogue.

Her laugh had not in it the tin

gray eyes.
"Ideal?-after New York;"

to the summer resort hotel on the
point beyond the Grierson mansion

week.

CHAPTER XIX.

The robbery of the Bayou bank
was already an old story when De-
tective Griffin returned to New Or
leans from his voyage to Guatemala.
He was a successful man in his call
bank robbery at once; not only fo1
the reward, but because he was will
ing to try if he could not send the
shaft home after his st. Louis col
leagues had sped their arrow and
missed the mark.
He did not begin where the St.
Louis officers had left off. He saw
at once that the real identity of the
robber bad not been established by
the anonymous letter describing one
John Gavitt. He suspected that the
name was a mere mask, and the
proof of this was shortly clinched
by evidence easily procured that the
real John Gayitt had died in the lit
tie Iowa river town which was his
home, short fortnight after the
date of the robbery.
Hence it followed that Gavitt had
been impersonated in the Belle
jules crew by the escaping culprit,
and with President GaIbraith's de-
scription of the man for a starting
point, Griffin first searched the
''Rogues' Gallery" for face which
might stand for the original. This
search, though it was made as care
fully as if he fully expected to find
the mans portrait in the criminal
records, was as barren of results as
he expected it would be.
at is just about as l put it up"
he said, at the end of the photo
graph inspection. "The fellow isn't
a professional at all; he is some
hare-brained crank, and this is his
first break"
This point established, there were
two courses open; to try to trace
the man in New Orleans, and so to
determine his identity; or to take
up the lost clew in ST. Louis. Since
it asked for less time, Griffin did the
latter first, and succeeded in besting
the st. Louis officers by one move.
For them the fugitive had disap-
peared, handcuffed, in the runaway
carriage; for Griffin he reappeared a
little later at Mr.. Abram Some
schein's emporium, but was lost
again when he left with his pur-
chases.
Griffin went back to New Orleans,
baflled but not discouraged. AS be
rore, the case turned upon the pivot
of identity. When he should have
learned the mans name and place in
the world it would be an easy mat
ter to track him down.
Accordingly he went to the bank
and asked again for the anonymous
letter.
you have tried every means to
place the writer of this, Mr.. Gal
braith?" he qucricd.

A familiar belief is that moss grows
chiefly on the north side of trees. The
notion is not established by science,
and an examination of many trees has
shown Prof. Henry Kraemer, PhiIa-
delphia botanist, that ten per cent.
had the moss on the west side, ten per
cent. on the northwest side, ten per
cent. on the north side, 20 per cent.
on the northeast side, 35 per cent. on
the east side. and Is per cent. on the
southeast side.
