''Dal!''


"Well, old chap"
Dallas tried to make his tone light and
unsuspecting, but was conscious that the
effort was somewhat of a failure.

Energy Is Eternal.

Who is there who dares to say that
when old age Is reached there is not
as much laid by in that soul wrapped
in it's weary body as there was in the
infant full of latent power? We know
not where the infants forces come
from, nor where the dying mans en-.
ergy goes, to, but if nature teaches us
anything it teaches us that forces
such as these are eternal in the same
sense that matter is eternal and space
endless.-Frank Bolles.

Death from Corns.

All that troubled Mary Murray, of
Brooklyn, after ~ years of life, was
that her corns hurt her so much that
she couldn't get around as brisk and
lively as girl of her age ought to. She
determined to take heroic measures,
and, borrowing razor, she sliced off
the annoying protuberances. One of
her toes bled slightly, and she applied
ammonia to it. Three days later she
died. Blood poisoning the doctors said.

How renny.on Wa. Recognized.

Things that impress some persons
forcibly are not even noticed by
others. An eminent Scotch surgeon
and professor in the University Of
Edinburgh was entirely devoted to
his profession. The poet Tennyson
had at one time consulted him about
some affection of the lungs. Years
afterward he returned on the same
errand. On being announced, he was
nettled to observe that Mr.. Syme had
neither any recollection of his face,
nor, still more calling, acquaintance
with his name.
Tennyson thereupon mentioned the
fact of his former visit. Still Syme
failed to remember him. But when
the professor put his ear to the poets
chest and heard the peculiar sound
which the old ailment had made
chronic, he at once exclaimed:
"Ah, l remember you now! I
know you by your lung"
Can you imagine greater humili-
alton for poet than to be known
not by his Tyre, but by his lung?-N.
Y. Mail and Express.

a good time? How are you, Mr.. Nor
ton? You are so tanned I scarcely
recognized you. How do you do,
Mr.. Kent? Hestoria seems to have
agreed with you! Hello, Sidney!
Kindly tell your friends. Sidney, that
1 must have the pleasure of their
company aboard the Shark at once!
They are disarranging my plans.
Check your yacht and I will send a
launch over after you. There is my
old college chum, L. Sylvester Vim
cent! How are you, old chap! You
look like the real thing! No nom
sense about this, Sidney! Stop your
boat, or will stop her for you'll"
"You keep off our counsel" shouted
Sidney. ''These gentlemen do not
care to see you. Go your way and
do not 1nolest us. You will do so at
your peril. Capt. Waters, that man
is insane. You should put him in
irons and take him to New Orleans.
Are you the captain of pirate ship?
This is Mr.. Carmody's yacht, with
ladies aboard. We demand that we
be allowed to proceed, and request
you to do your duty and turn that
man over to the authorities. He is
a criminal or lunatic.''
81 am, am II" shouted Hestor.
He dashed the megaphone to the
bridge and leaped to the lower deck.
Like flash he jumped to the rapid
fire gun. Capt. Waters yelled an or
der. 1t was not finished when there
came spit of fire from the muzzle
of the gun. Three of the crew dashed
at Hestor.
The same instant there was the
crack of a rifle from the bow of the
"Helen Carmody."
A dozen bullets tore through the
glass and mahogany sides of the for
ward deck house. Sidney Hammond
fell to the deck. The "Shark" swung
sharply to the starboard, and in few
seconds was speeding away to the
east. 1t all happened so quickly that
with one exception the men on the
"Helen Carmody" were too dazed to
make a move. The wheelsman sent
the yacht hard to port.
Mr.. Kent was the first to reach the
side of Sidney Hammond. There was
stain of red on his shoulder, and
they tore and cut away the coat and
shirt. AS they did so, Sidney opened
his eyes. He stared for moment
and jumped to his feet.

a long breath. ct is merely flesh

What the Little Lad Wanted.

A little grandson of mine, living in
Cape Town, when about three years
old was taken to church, and the
bisAop-now the archbishop-was
preaching. Growing tired, he said
out loud: Mother, I wishes bishop
would go back to Heaven; l wants
go home" Meeting his lordship some
time aftcrward 1 told him this st ,ry,
adding that thought the child had
paid MIN very delicate compliment,
The same boy had little garden Of
his own, which was ravaged by
neighborhood cats, large and fierce,
of which Phil stood in great fear.
So one night he added this petition
to his usual prayers: please, God,
send an angel to take care of my
garden, and it had better be one
that's not afraid of tomcats. Lon.

cit was at Mrs. McKenzie's that
first heard Poe recite, at her request,
The Raven and 'Annabel Lee,' only
the family being present." says
writer in Lippincott's Magazine.
"From an unusually lively mood he
lapsed at once into manner, express
sion and tone of voice of gloomy and
almost weird solemnity, gazing as if
on something invisible to others, and
never changing his position until the
recitation was concluded. 1t hap.
pened that he had just before re-
quested of Mrs. Mckenzie the loan of
a sum of money, which request she
was for time unable to comply
with; and she now said to him, Ed
gar, what do you think of giving q
public recital of those poems? It
would probably prove financial sue
cess The result was that about a
week later there appeared in the city
papers notice that on a certain
evening the poet would give a recita,
ton of his own two favorite poems IL
the exchange concert room, tickets
to be had at certain book store,
Over 200 of these were printed, the
charge of admission being so centu
each.
"On the appointed evening, I, then
young man of "A, accompanied MrO.
Julia Mayo Cabell and another LADY,,
both warm personal friends of Pee
from his childhood, to the place Of
the proposed recitation. We arrived
some moments after the appointed
time, and, to our surprise, found, in
stead of full audience, but nine per-
sons assembled, we, together with
the usher, making thirteen in num-
Der. Some time elapsed before Poe
made his appearance, when he took
his place on the platform, bowed, and,
resting his hands on the back of q
chair, recited The Raven and 'Annl-
bel Lee,' but in mechanical sort Of
way, and with total lack of the
weird and gloomy expression which
had given them such effect at Mrs.
McKenzie's. On concluding, he again
bowed and abruptly left the platform.
"The proceeds of this experiment

Boyden, proprietor of the exchange,
would make no charge for the use ct

New Orleans and give him up, and
stand trial if I have done wrong.
He jumped from the bridge, as you
saw. One of your men shot him in
the head, and he is likely to die. He
has not been right since we left New
York. I tell you this so you will
know the truth. I am going to give
myself up to the authorities"

examined the wound and declared it
painful but not dangerous. He
staunched the flow of blood and
bandaged the wound. Sidney watched
the fast disappearing Shark dur
ing this operation. He set his teeth,
and not groan escaped from his
lips.
The dining-room was strewn with
broken glass and splinters. Ragged
holes had been torn in the decora-
tions, and one shot played havoc
with the china closet. Miss Cafmo-
dy came up from below. Her face
was pale, but she did not seem in the
least alarmed. She proceeded to act
as nurse for Sidney, and would not
listen to his declaration that he was
going on deck. Chalmers regretted
he had not been shot.
In the meantime the SHARK" con-
tinued on it's eastern course, and the
"Helen Carmody" neared the mouth
of the Mississippi. 1t was seven
o'clock in the evening when they took
pilot. Sidney was moved to the
forward deck, and all gathered
around him to discuss what had hap
pened.
"That was about as rapid bit of
work as ever I Witnessed" said Mr..
Kent, who had been slightly cut in
the hand by flying piece of glass.
"Who fired the shot from our
boat?" asked Sidney, with a slight
grimace of pain as his shoulder
twinged where the shot had lacerated
a muscle. cit was the last thing
heard"
ST fired it," said Bernard Seymour.
"And 1 got your man Hestor all
right. Did you see him drop?"
81 did," said Mr.. Morton. Ellis
hands went up and he fell into the
arms of two of his crew who were
rushing forward to grab him."
"Did any one hear the order given
by Capt. Waters?" asked Mr.. Carmo-
dy.

a frown darllening his face. 81 asked

tritely. "But you did not tell me

port hole in the saloon, and saw and
heard everything that happened on
the Shark When Mr.. Hestor
jumped from the bridge and ran to
the gun, Capt. Waters shouted, Stop
him! Hold him!' Then he yelled
'Starboard!' to the wheelsman, and
rushed down the steps to the deck.
