HOW THEY WERE MISTAKEN,
Little Girls Artistic Longinss Were
Not TROUBLING Her.

Little Girls Artistic Longinss Were
Not Troubling Her.
A little girl, whose father vas a
poet, and whose mother was an artist
was thought by relatives to be there
fore surely destined to do some great
and beautiful thing in the world.
They felt confident, too, that they
saw signs of this when she was very
young, and interpreted all sorts OF
things the small girl did to mean
much more than the child herself
v dreamed of.
One summer evening on grandpa's
farm all the family went to the hill
top To see a wonderful sunset. The
little girls papa looked poems ant
her ann likened the sky to the
colors of great canvasses, and lay
members of the family expressed
their admiration in various terms
Only the little girl said nothing.
Look at her." whispered an ador
ing aunt. "Wha exquisite feeling
there is in her facet" Everyone look
ed, but it was the old farmer grand
father who spoke.
What's the trouble?' he asked OF
the small person sitting disconso
lately by herself.
Nothing" was the reply, "cepi
everybody's SO taken up with the sun
set and l did SO badly want to see
the pigs get their suppers."

\ rainy days a-comin', boys, as sure as
you're alive.
When bees can't put a single drop Of
honey in the hive:
The busy ants Won't dare to set a foot
outside the door.
They'll loaf around and max their
meals on they've CLEANED be-
l amt no weather prophet, as they call
EN-, but O bet
l know the times a-comin' when it's
likely to be wet,
And them as may prepare for 1t will
have themselves to hank
If, while the weather's fair, they put a
dollar in the bank.
It's mighty nice to slosh around and cut
a lordly dash.
And make the people wonder at the way
you squander cash
It's fun to sow your dollars like there
wasn't any stint,
And sort of make the public think you
own a private mint.
But by and by the time will come you
won't have such a chance,
And jest as like as not theren be some
patches on your pants;
Instead of DRAWN prizes, why, you'll
only get a blank.
And you'll regret you didn't put a dollar
in the bank.
There amt no sea so cam but that at
times the storms prevail.
There amt no soil so good but that
sometimes the crop Will tal,
And them same men who brag the most
about a lead pipe cinch,"
Sing different tunes when later on they
find they're in a pinch.
1t amt good sense to waste your cake
promiscuously, because
The day will come you'll want a crust
to put betwixt your jaws.
And if you'd have your vest look plump
instead of lean and lank,
You'd better not forget to put a dollar
in the bank.

Margaret had been ~adjudged guilty OF

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and intel
lcctual needs of the charges committed to
their care, but they also minister to their
bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.

In Praise of Tobacco.
From Life.

From Life.
OF all the good things man has found
Scattered upon this planet round,
Tobacco surely holds its ground
A weed delicious
No other green leaf yields so much
Delight; no flower has fragrance such:
No plant its virtue with touch
or something vicious.
A pipeful after breakfast. when
l read the morning paper; then.
AT luncheon one small Whit again
A tube of tissue:
And, after dinner a cigar,
An easy chair beside the jar
the good Havanas are,
Too close to miss you.
Life is at best a journey brief,
And Time pursues US like a thief,
But IL one cultivate the Leaf
There Is no hurry.
A friend, II cheers one on the way.
And helps to lengthen out the day:
And keeps the hair from turning gray
With care and worry.
Virginia, Turkish, or Periuue--
A pun OF incense and a streak
or smoke that almost seems 10 sneak
In sweet Rromal
And may the good Tobacco last
so long as We 20 life hold fast.

MIR. BRYAN's MISTAKE.

Mr. Bryan is making a mistake in
thinking that in attacking Mr. Cleve-
land he is doing what is popular with
Democrats. There may be few Demo-
Gratis in the West who still harbor a
dislike for him, but the great majority
Of Democrats have a very great re-
spect for him. and now that 1t is
clearly understood that he is out of
politics altogether, there will be II
general disposition to deal with him
Justly, and to give to him the credit TO
which fair-minded men are willing TO
admit he is entitled.
In his speech at the convention of
the Democratic Judicial Convention of
Michigan on Tuesday Mr.. Bryan said
that he was not ashamed of having
had part in driving Mr.. Cleveland out
of the Democratic party. AS a matter
of fact Mr. Cleveland seems to be
pretty firmly fixed in the affection of
very large percentage of the Demo-
Gratis, notwithstanding the fact that
Mr.. Bryan thinks he was driven out
of the party. 1t is safe to say that
more Democrats want the man who
saved the country from debased silver
currency, who had the courage to put
down riot with a strong hand when a
mayor of a great city and the Governor
of a great state refused to do any
thing to maintain order and who took
stand in favor of maintaining the
Monroe dictrine that made the world
hold It's breath for moment. in the
party than want him out of it.
Mr.. Bryan is simply airing his
grievances in attacking Mr.. Cleveland.
He is not doing the Democratic party
| any good. There is no reason for at
lacking Mr. Cleveland. He is not
seeking an office and he is not trying
to shape Democratic policies. But TO
| continue attacking him makes it all
the harder to bring harmony into the
Democratic party.
If Mr.. Bryan really wants harmony
in the party, wants the party to be
successful in 1904, he will cease his at
tacks upon Democrats who differed
with him in his campaign, and set
| himself at work to bring the factions
| of the party together.
Mr.. Bryan is trying to excuse him
self for the course he is pursuing by
saying that he is not an advocate of
expediency. Democrats generally are
as anxious as he is that the Democratic
party shall stand for principles, but
their idea of standing for principles
is not standing for dead issues. They
want their party to win the presidency
in 1904. and they think the way to do
that is to fight the Republicans, not
each other.

A willy Turk.

Once upon a time, says Town and
Country, a certain Turkish literary man
living in Constantinople, arranged to
translate for a daily newspaper, a
novel, then popular in England. Each
day he rendered a sufficient part of 1t
into the Turkish language to fill the
space reserved for it. One day, his
peaceful home was entered by the
police, who peremptorily arrested the
man of letters and dragged him off to
prison. No explanation was given for
his arrest, the novel reflected in no
way against the politics of the state and
he had broken no laws. He was not
even given time to bid farewell to his
family, but he was commanded to bring
the work under translation with him.
Arrived at the prison, he was given
pleasant quarters, good food and drink
and sternly commanded to complete his
task. So for several days the frighten-
ed translator worked arduously.
When the work was done. he was,
to his establishment, instantly liberated
and presented with a large sum of
money. Upon further inquiry as to his
treatment it was explained that the Sui
tan had become interested in the story
as it appeared from day to day and
was too impatient to wait for the end
He wanted to read all the rest of it
at once! Truly there are certain ad-
vantages in being a Sultan.

1t is said that when Pope Leo read
how Cardinal Gibbons was showered
with congratulations at the time Of the
Baltimore prelate's jubilee his holiness
remarked loosely: Il should have
liked to see him, but the poor man is
getting old and must now have rest"
The humor of the remark will be ap-
parent when it is remembered that
James Gibbons is but a year older
than Joachim Pecci was when he was
elected pope.
Leo L. Leob, who styles himself
"the Paul Revere of Colorado" is in

A Vienna professor of considera BILE
fame used to take his midday meal at
well-known cafe in that city, says
Stray Stories.
One very wet day when leaving, after
his usual meal, the learned doctor was
astonished to find, in place of his own
shabby headgear, a real, sparkling Par
isian hat
He could only attribute this to the
delicate attention of some kind friend,
and on reaching home he displayed his
newly acquired chapeau to his admir-
ing family.
Next day, when at the cafe as usual,
he was accosted by a young man, who
politely remarked:
Doctor allow me to claim my hat
and apologize for the apparent mis-
take. The fact was 1 had no UNI
brella-you had-I did not know what
to do to prevent my hat from being
spoiled in the rain, and as 1 knew it
would not hurt yours I borrowed 1t,
and now return it with thanks"
