OLD
FAvORIT IS
or4 of the Old House, Nancy.

Out of the Old House, Nancy.
Out of the old house, Nancy-moVed up
into the new,
All the hurry and worry is just as good
as through.
ONLY bounden duty remains for you
And that's to stand on the doorstep here'
and bid the old house good-by'
Probably you remember how rich we was
that night,
When we was fairly settled, an had
things snug and tight;
We feel as proud as you please, Nancy
over our house that's new,
But we felt as proud under this old root
and a good deal prouder, too.
Never a handsomer house was seen De-
meath the sun;
Kitchen and parlor and bedroom-we
had 'em all in one;
And the fat old wooden clock, that we
bought when we came West,
Was tickin' away in the corner there
and doin' its level best.
Trees was all around us, a-whlsperln
cheerin' words;
Loud as the squirrels chatter, and sweet
the songs of birds;
And home grew sweeter and brighter -
our courage began to mount
And things looked hearty and happy
then, and work appeared to count
Iou NV
tie joy,
Though l fretted a little because il
wasn't a boy;
Want she a little fiirt, though, with al
her pouts and smiles?
Why, settlers come to see that show
| half a dozen miles.
Yonder sat the cradle-a homely, home
| made thing
And many night l rocked it, providin
you would sing;
And many a little sQuatter brought III
| with us to stay
And so that cradle, for many year, wa
never put away.
Yes, a deal has happened to make thi
old house dear;
Christenin's, funerals, weddin's-wha
haven't we had here?
Not log in this buildin' but its memo
ries has got,
And not a nail in this old floor bu
touches a tender spot.
Out of the old house, Nancy-moved /,
into the new;
All the hurry and worry is just as goo
as through.
But tell you a thing right here, that
amt ashamed to say,
There's precious things in this old hous
we never can take away.

THE Potts LITTLE JOKE

H. Hardi1v Outwitted the 1rAchS
Oriental Monarch
An Arab king, whose name Is not re-
corded. had the faculty or retalhins IL

who could repeat poem that he ii,'u
twice heard. and a female slave WHO
could repeat one that she had heaio

would promise him that If he iouho lis

Then he would repeat 1t as ne mao

the Middle Ages" gives the story OF
poet who outWitted this king:
The famous poet, El-Asmai, having
heard of this proceeding, and guessing
the trick, composed an ode made up o
very difficult words, and dlsguls1nS
himself went to the palace and pre-
scented himself.
He repeated his ode. The king, per
picked and unable to remember any o
1t. made a sign to the mameluke, Du
he had too, retained nothing. Thel
he called the female slave, but she ais
was unable to repeat word.

king, thou hast spoken truth, and tn

CHAPTER VII,

Another week passed away, and moth
ing further occurred to mar the pleas
ures of the young people at the chateau.
OF course, a dark suspicion sometimes
threw a cloud over their souls, but then
they saw nothing new to worry them,
and they had begun to hope that, after
ALL their danger had its rise in the Gu
pidity of the Chickasaws. And during
this week, too, Simon Lobois had been
more sociable and agreeable than before,
and perhaps he was not an evil man at
all. At any rate, they tried to hope so.
Tony had seen nothing yet, though he al
ways shook his head very obviously
when the dark cousins name was men
toned.
1t was pleasant afternoon, and GOu-
part had wandered off to where some
beautiful wild flowers were just peeping
into blossom down by the rivers bank
in the front garden. But he was not
alone. Louise was with him. He had
not asked her to come with him, nor had
she asked him where he was going. They
walked on and came to a seat where q
huge grapevine had been trailed up ovei
and about it. They stopped here and
sat down. The sun was already nearing
the distant tree tops, and the air was
soft and balmy.
Louise" spoke the young man, Al
length, and his voice was very low anc
tremulous, 'do you remember the grea
garden back of the old chateau in Cler
month"; So. "a
20, yes: remember it WELL" returnet
the maiden, with a sparkling eye.
"And do you remember how we usel

how you used to weave long garland
with your tiny fingers, and throw then
