Following the Band.

Life was 10y when l was boy.
In the days of long ago,
When eye and ear could see and hear
The things it was good to know
But the kind old earth, once glad with
mirth.
And pleasures high and grand,
Seems stale and tame since l became
Too big to follow the band.
Yet I daresay earth holds today
About as much or more
OF joy and cheer, right now and here,
Than ever it had before.
But nv our pride we're now denied
Gods gifts on every hand:
We've grown too proud to follow the
Too big to follow the band.
I'd like to stray in a careless way
Through the broad green fields of youth
And wander back along life's track
To the blissful spring of truth
I'd like to trade my woes, self made
And the cares that come to men
For. the keen delight of a boys gksd right
TO follow the band again. ,.t1crr b.,

taxes made by this Congress. The
customs receipts in February were

less than for the corresponding months
last year. though for January they
were about $5.OO0,010 more than for
January. 1902. The decrease for the
seven months was in agriculture, due

THE GENERALS WORST SCARE

LI1L<@f 4" SiehoL -1S&Ahe1<'
 I have known the General many years now, and have often heard him tell the stories of great battles won and great battles lost in the civil war. But always these stories have dealt with men in the mass with corps, divisions, brigades and the like. whereas I am one of those poor, petty-minded crea- lures who enjoy listening now and then to a tale of personal daring, or personal cleverness, or personal anything. The human individual is the fellow for me. I can walk with. talk with him, laugh and weep with ilinl---in short, I can feel with him as cannot feel with an army corps. Perhaps that is why like the fiction called biography better than the fiction called history.
 The other evening, however, when sit- ting on the porch with the General and his motherlv wife, I pinned him down to personal renfiniscence by asking him what. in all his career, had frightened him most. es"
 Well" said he. after some medita- tion. T think I never was more thoroughly Frightened for myself than I was one evening about month after pur marriaige.i

How an Unworthy New Yorker Avoid
 ed Embarrassment.
 Magistrate Scott went down to the shore one day this week and on his re- turn had a story as follows:
 There was til-horn gambler from New York stopping at one of the second rate hotels with his wife and little girl, Business had been dull with him, and he was way behind in his board bill. The landlady was getting nervous, for business was dull with her, too, and the house was not half full One day just before the dinner hour one of those slick-looking articles in a white high hat and long duster, who poses as a doctor, but whose real game is poker, came into the caravansary and went up to the rooms of the gambler. ssIn ten minutes he came down again with face as long as an Irish hotel bill. He sought out the landlady, and in solemn voice told her 1t was his painful duty to inform her that the lit tie girl in No. AT was going to have 8 bad case of smallpox.
 .'The landlady was business to the backbone She took out a ten dollar bill pressed it in the doctors hand and said: Doctor, you can get those people out of my house. You know 1t would ruin me if 1t were known
 We'll said the doctor, slowly, they'd have to go tomorrow, anyhow. I'll get them out, but you must lock that room just as soon as they are gone, and allow no one to enter it.
 The scheme worked to a charm, and the gambler and his side partner, the doctor occupied the same seat in the smoker that evening when the train pulled out for New ork."-Philadel- phia Daily Telegraph. ,
