 WELL.

l am sitting by the stile. Mary. Where we sat side by side, On the bright May morning long ago. When first you were my bride. And the corn was springing fresh and
 green, And the love light in your eye. It's but a step down wonder lane. And the little church stands near The church where We wed. Mary I see the spire from here. But the graveyard lies between, Mary, And my steps might break your rest, Where I laid you down, my Mary. With your baby on your breast. The place is little changed, Mary. And the day as bright as then, And the lark's loud song Is in my ear. And the corn is green again; And I think I see the little stile. And the springing corn and the bright
 May morn When first you were my bride. It's very lonely now, Mary. For the poor they make no friends; But O they love the better still The few our father sends. I am bidding you long farewell, My Mary, kind and true, But I'll not forget you. darling. In the land I'm going to. They say there's bread and work for
 all, And the sun shines always there, But I'll not forget you, darling, Were it fifty times as far. And often in those grand old woods I'll sit and shut my eyes. And my heart will travel back again To the place where Mary lies. will think I'll see the little stile Where We sat side by side. And the springing corn and the bright

4 PROFESSIONAL h0URNER
ne Attends All the Fanerais and Tells
 the Policemen Why.

Washington of all cities Is over crowded with cranks and freaks of all degrees, and as a result of these ire quently harmless but annoying people, piany funny things. in the way of charges and complaints, happen at headquarters every day that never reach the public. But the funniest ex- perience I've ever had" said the down. town policeman, was when was de- tailed in answer to charges made by the sextons of several of the local churches to watch a church where number of funeral services were held during the past week. in order to land a man who systematically attends ev- cry funeral at which he can steal a ride.
 Tn the many complaints that have come in about him, all agree that he is quiet and respectful, and if the occa- sion demands. deeply grieved, but 1t is none the less annoying, so the com plainant invariably states, to have wan-looking stranger face you at ev- cry turn.
 Well. I'd no sooner reach one church than I'd learn that the ill-looking stranger had just left there, but that I would find him at another church in an entirely different direction of the city, where a certain funeral would be held some time later in the day. This sort of thing kept up for some time, but one day last week l just happened to strike 1t.
 ''The funeral was leavnig the church as l came along. and right in among the family of the deceased I spied my man, whom l knew the instant | clap ped my eye on him.
 Hold on,' I said, putting my hand on his arm. T want to speak with you. Are you a friend of the deceased?'
 No he replied. T am not But of course you know some member of the family and are here on their account l urged. Not even that he answered in a little thin voice: the truth of the matter is. the doctor has ordered me to take carriage exercise. and as I can't afford to ride. I just get the ex- ercise necessary to be by attending all the funerals l chance to hear of. and the road to the cemetery is a very pleasant one. At any rate, it doesn't do anybody any harm and does me a great deal of good Well. after this knockout blow" concluded the officer "I was at a loss to know exactly what to do. The man seemed so reasonable in the question or his health that ex- plained the situation to him and he ac- companied me to the station without any trouble. where he was not detain- ed. but was given to understand that the practice of attending unknown funerals for the sake of carriage exer- else has to end. d."-Washington Post.

THESE TROUT GOT A JAG.
Remarkable Stunts When the Beer
 Keg Burst.

Oyster Bay, July 1S.-There is flowing well under John Franklin's saloon here 165 feet deep. The water that comes from 1t is as clear as crys- tsl and almost as cold as ice. 1t flows right up into a tank in a little room back of the bar. In the tank John Franklin keeps kegs of beer. some of which are connected with the taps at the bar. Tn the tank with the kegs John Franklin also keeps trout-twen- ty-seven big brook trout-that used to swim in Mill Neck Creek before they were brought to the saloon.
 The bartender at Franklin's saloon dumped four new quarters" into the pool at o'clock last night. An hour later, just as Franklin started to work the beer pump. something slapped up against the inside of the door leading into the room containing the tank. It slapped gain, harder than before, and then there were more slaps.
 John Franklin stopped pumping and opened the door. AS he did so, the big gest trout in the tank turned a hand spring on its fins and went Hopping toward the bar. Three others followed. Several more were tumbling around on the floor beside the tank and some of those in the pool were jumping clear over the beer kegs; some were landing on top of them and sliding down the

CHINESE IN GREAT BRITAIN.
It Is Now Possible to Graduate in That
 Language Alone.

An impetus has just been given to 1 Chinese studies which it is hoped will have lasting and far-reaching conse- quences. On May 2S grace passed the senate of the university of Cambridge by virtue of which Chinese was form ally included in the Oriental I.angua- ges Tripos. and it will henceforth be possible to graduate with honors in that language alone. coupled with some Knowledge of the general history of the far East.
 Although colloquial Chinese of sorts is comparatively easy language for smaterer. it is still a very difficult task to learn to read and write Chinese in any practical sense. There is no royal road to that goal: it may indeed
 be said tha. there is no road at all other than the steep and arduous climb separable from years of drudgery For merchants clerk to thank that by giving an hour or two a week after
 business hours to the study of Chinese he has any prospect of securing an adequate, or, indeed, any return for his time and money, is simply to un- derestimate his task and to court ccr- tain failure. Colloquial Chinese may to certain extent be jumped" Tn that way by man living in the country though scarcely by a resident in Eng land. But the book language of China. without which the colloquial has next to no value whatever, scannot Ee jumped" at all. Just as the search for short cut to a knowledge of the Latin language has been generally given. up as hopeless. except by the crainmer, so it will be found in the icng run that nothing save a systen- atic and somewhat prolonged, course will enable even the quickest wit d student to read and write Chinese with | q moderate 1uency.
 T!ie university of Cambridge hopes
 to catch the student young. and to clrry him, without haste and without delay, through a three years corlse, | sIcE as viii give him q thornugh grounding in the written language,
 and enable him. if fortunate enough
 to find his lines laid in China. to graft
 on speedily and without diIilcnlty a
 vide and business-like knowledea of
 the colloquial. One of his rewards will
 be the degree in honors. Many men.
 who either are not attracted toward
 classical education or fail to see where | in classical studies are likely to profit
 them in a possible commercial career, | will perhaps be induced how to turn | to Chinese, which offers practical and | remunerative as well as purely aca-
 demic attractions. and will very prob
 ably soon take its natural place as
 one of the important languages of the | world.
 The university of Cambridge has the
 unique distinction of possessing d large
 and extremely valuable Chinese li-
 brary. such as would be sought for in
 vain. not merely in Europe and Amer
 iea, but even in China itself. Already
 too, there is q proposal on the part of
 one generous donor to set aside a sum
 of money for the endowment of a
 scholarship in Chinese.-Letter in the | London Telegraph.
