Of her words. II can excuse your ig-
norance of ancient history, you being
a woman, but I'll be hanged if you can
indulge IN sarcasm toward me! If 1t

The cat came out from under the
lounge with new hopes in her heart,
and Mrs. Bowser maintained discreet
silence. After pacing back and forth
for awhile with what he hoped was a
Xerxes stride Mr.. Bowser advanced TO
a back window and drew aside the
curtain. There was a bright moon, and
he could see every beer bottle, tomato
can and clothespin lying around the
yard. There were pools OF water ana
several soft spots, and it didn't look to
be an inviting field for crocuses OF any
color. He might have given up the idea
had not Mrs. Bowser suddenly asked:
"How do you pronounce the name
Xerxes?'
GAS it should be pronounced, OF
course" he replied.
''But how?
"N-er-x-es. Have you any fault to
find with thatw
'It is pronounced as if spelled
'Zerkzes.' You know there is town
in Ohio called Xenia. Nobody calls it
'X-enia,' but it is called 'Zenia.'"
Mr.. Bowser turned to her with his
face aflame and choked and gasped for
a full minute before he could exclaim:
"Woman, this is too much-too much!
Do you think my head is stuffed with
sawdust? Did any husband ever hear
of such cheek in wifev
81 was simply correcting you," she
said in humble tones.
He glared at her and kicked out his
legs to see if they were asleep, but the
English language afforded him no
words in which to reply. In this emer-
gency he put on his hat and went out
into the back yard to look for that
blue crocus. He'd have gone if a
whole army blocked the path. The cat
went with him as far as the door and
then halted. Mr.. Bowser sent his gaze
up and down and around, but he mis-
took not the yellow labels of the to-
mato cans nor the blue ones of the ta-
BILE sauce bottles for the spring flowers
he sought. AT length he wandered
forth, stepping into pool of water at
the first stride, but totally ignoring it.
He had reached the rear fence in his
stroll and had mentally taken note of
several weeds struggling for life under
the cold moonlight when something
whizzed by his head Some boy in the
neighborhood had observed his wan
derings and decided to interrupt them
with a potato. Where there is one
boy. there are two-three six. Mr..
Bowser had scarcely resumed his
search for that blue headed X-er-x-es
crocus when those six boys let fly with
cans and bottles and chunks of coal.
Ajax stiffened up and defied the light
ming for about five seconds. Then the
lightning plunked him in about dozen
places at once, and he turned and
fled.
''Did We git what We were lookin'

A MODERN BEAUTY.

fain would sing of Clytie's charms,
Her classic head, her witching face,
Her tempting hands and dazzling arms,
Her queenly figures sculptured grace;
I fain would sing, like bard or linnet,
But, then, know there's nothing in 1t!
Nothing for bird; for poet, less:
Because, odd is the truth, l own,
In setting forth her loneliness
With all sweet meters ever known
That bird could pour in wild abandon
Or poet lay his seeking hand on,
No matter what I said or sang
Nor how nor where nor whom unto,
Though high as heaven my homage rang
1 never could full justice do,
No more, in fact, than half my duty
To her opinion of her beauty!

at this season and look for crocuses.
The crocus is about the first spring
flower, isn't it?'
eyes; the crocus and dandelion."
Mr.. Bowser hitched around uneasily
and had no more to say for five min
utes Then he softly observed:
"The Romans had a queer supersti-
ton regarding the crocus, and there
may have been something in it. pre-
sumo you have read of it?'
II don't remember" she answered,
looking at him in amaZement that he
should have been delving into Roman
history or paying any more heed TO GRO
cuses than to brickbats.
"'The superstition seems to have
arisen with XerXes, and it appears
that he who went forth on a moonlight
night and found blue crocCs was sure
to be elevated to power and fame"
"But I thought you said it was a Ro-
man superstition!
$50 | did, and so it was"
"But Xerxes was not Roman"
"There you go! Always ready to
call me liar at the slightest excuse.
If you'd look into history now and
then instead of keeping to novels,

you'd have more sense in your head.

II know 1T he was Persian" she
quietly rep. j.
mot by lgful!
She went over to the bookcase and
took out a volume of the encyclopedia,
and, turning to the proper letter. she
laid the book down before Mr.. BOwser
that he might read:
"Xerxes l., king of Persia, was the
eldest son of Darius and his second
wife Atossa," etc.
Yes, l see what it says" observed
Mr.. Bowser, "but does that make the
slightest difference to me? When l
said that Xerxes was a Roman that
settled it, and all the encyclopedias in
the world couldn't change it. It is
quite probable, however, that there
were a dozen Xerxes hanging around
at that time and that one of them may
have been king of Persia"
Eyes, that may have been the way
of it, said Mrs. Bowser, who saw
a way to dodge the threatened row
and was quick to take advantage of
it, The family cat had figured on rag
time and gave her reproachful glance
as she crawfished.
"Whoever found a blue crocus on
moonlight night" repeated Mr.. Bow
ser as he walked to and fro. 81 sup

"You never saw whale. either, and
yet whales exist. All the crocuses I
have ever seen were yellow, but new

shouldn't the light of the moon cast

ers+"

for?" asked the cook as he bounded
into the kitchen just ahead of an emp
ty beer bottle. But he did not stop to
answer. He was waiting to pour out
the Walls Of his wrath upon Mrs. Bow
ser. He assembled the basement stairs
two steps at time, but when he stood
before her he could do no more than
gasp and stutter:
Il wouldn't try to talk if / were
you," she soothingly said as she rose
up. "Just drop down on the lounge
and let me cover you up for awhile.
1t may be that X-er-x-es was all wrong
or that our cat ate up all the blue
crocuses this afternoon. Don't worry,
however. 1t won't be long before you

Lies in BeSsie's bonnet.

Most Excellent Lecture,

The lecture Of Rev. J. Calvin Mead
on American Types and Traits at Y.
NJ. c. A last Tuesday evening was
one of the finest discOurses ever deliver
ed in Association hall The audience,
unfortunately, was not large, but little
more than one-t third of the seats being
occupied
Rev Mead is a speaker of magnificent
presence, intensely magnetic, original
in thought and eloquent in delivery
The lecture was analytic, profound,
while vein of irresistible humOr ran
through all which kept the audience in
the best of spirits.
Among those whom the speaker held
up as types Of American manhood or of
the different states of mind grown to be
stable and true under the teaching of
Gods word were George Washington,
Henry Ward Beecher and Abram Lin
coin
1t is to be regretted that space will
not permit the reproduction of more
than very few of the good things that
the speaker said in working ont his
thought.
The chief end of man, he said, is to
'glorify God and enjoy him forever.
The Puritans in their views and prac-
tees lost sight of enjoyment" as it re-
lated to God and religion. Thus their
sons have turned their backs on the re-
ligion of their fathers. 1t is the duty of
every son to advance beyond his father
and in this sense to be "a better man.
With some the idea obtains that the
chief end of man is his stomach Thus
the mother makes a good cook of her
daughter so that when old her husband
will not depart from her. 'Consci-
ence makes towards of us al" he quoted
and added:
This is why they say our Mayor
down in Philadelphia can never be a
coward.
