Down On the Farm.

When fiercely smites the brazen sky,
And pavements parched, and scorchins
lie,
IT'S then the countryside invokes
It's pilgrimage of ''city folks
The locust, through the golden days,
His strident hurdy-gurdy plays;
The frefies furnish, through the nights
Their myriad electric lights.
The how'rs that deck the meadows DER
Eclipse the gayest milliner store;
They're wholly free to all who pass
No copper yells "Git aft the grass!"
The cows that mid the pastures walk
Are fed on buttercups, not chalk!
No gong they ring, but gently moo.
The milk they serve is white, not blue!
Here winds no plodding caravan
With hail Ere -e-esh fish, "Banan' be-
nan'!"
But hens strut forth on sturdy legs
And kindly cackle, Eggs! Fresh eggs!

BRAVERY OF AMERICAN SAILOR
Hero of One Of Most Notable Deeds
Ever. Performed.

Ever. Performed.
What threatened to be one of the
, worst disasters in the history Of ship
ping was the burning of the Ocear
Monarch. The fire was discovered in
her fore hold an hour or two only af
ter she left the Mersey. There was a
strong breeze and she was headed fol
the Welsh coast.
By some unlucky accident an ancher
was dropped and the big ship was
brought up all standing, head to the
wind. The flames came roaring aft
where 600 passengers and crew were
crowded
A Brazilian frigate, yacht and a
pilot boat were near, but they only
attempted to pick up those who
jumped and swan. Suddenly up came
an American clipper, and rounded into
the wind barely 200 yards away. In
her first boat was Frederick Jerome
only an able seaman, but fone of the
bravest seamen that ever lived. In a
fash his boat was alongside the burn
ing ship and he climbed on deck amid
the scorch and smother. There he
stayed until the last soul of coo was
saved. His clothes were on fire seven
separate times, and he was scorched
almost beyond recognition.-Ex

ready to stop, and they might as well
make the best of it. He carried them
right past the parsonage and never
let up trOtting at his dead level gait
till he reached the hotel, and then
he turned in at the driveway and
stopped in front of the porch as un.
concernedly as If that was where Grid.
ley had headed him for at the start.
'Gridley was hopping mad. He
wanted to thrash the big bay and then
hire another horse that was not preju.
diced against matrimony and go back
to the parsonage and get married after
all. But the girl wouldn't do it. She
was inclined to be superstitious, and
she argued that Fate had directed the
maneuvres and that the bay horse had
been inspired by Providence to break
off the proposed marriage. Gridley
didn't agree with her. He gave the
the devil the credit for the perform
ance rather than the opposing power,
but the girl was set in her opinion and
wouldn't give in, SO they never got
married"
Ellsworth paused and looked at his
wife curiously. Her face was flushed,
and it's expressions ran the gamut Of
emotions from surprised indignation to
hysterical mirth.
'But don't see," she said presently,
"why you should dislike Mr.. Gridley
on that account. Perhaps it was not
exactly honorable to propose sudden
marriage as he did, but the girl seem
ed willing, and don't see why you
should put all the blame on him.
Many other men-indeed, I may say
most other men-would have done the
same thing"
"Oh, I'm not finding fault with him
for that little escapaoe in ITSELF" said
Ellsworth. What I blame him for
is the fact that when he was trying
to persuade that girl to marry him
on. the sly he was engaged to some
one else.'
Mrs. Ellsworth's eyes opened wide.
then narrowed ominously. "He WASP"
she cried. "How do you know that?"
'It is easily figured out. That took
place in the late summer of 1900"

prove?"

her fixedly. "Prove?" he echoed. 'It
proves everything. 1t proves that Grid
