Two hours later he was still sitting
Herewith Bob's Land in his. He had
felt the pulse grow weaker and weaker,
had chafed the cold feet and hands
to bring back the warmth. There had
been not one paroxysm of pain AS in
q dream he had seen the others come
in and had told them in a perfectly
passionless voice that the end was
near He saw Bob's mother kissing
her boys eyes and mouth and cheeks,
and with grooming baby words begging
him for a word of recognition and
good-by; he saw him try to touch her
face and to speak. AS if afar off he
heard the rectOr'S tender prayer, and
the sobs Of the assembled friends.
And then-like lightning bolt, there
flashed through his overweight brain
the full realization Of what it all
meant; the light SO rapidly fading
from the loved eyes would never be
rekindled; the moisture on hands and
face was indeed the dew of death.
The cold hands would soon be folded
across the pulseless breast-never
again to throb with love and laughter.
And in wild and unreasoning despair
he flung himself down, crying out that
it must not be. But the good old doc
tor led him out-away where the
orange trees cast their cool shades,
and he talked to him as one brave
man may talk to another of the one
great Supreme law Of love and duty
and self-effacement, of which mans
wisest and kindest statute is but a fee
BILE imitation. And Of his abiding faith
in a blessed reunion. For the doctor,
and he alone, understood why it was
that deaths raging sea which threat
ened to engulf the precious craft, was
thus suddenly transformed into smil-
ing stream upon whose bosom it was
borne SO gently away, that before the
grief-bowed watchers realized it, it had
slipped it's moorings and was safe in
the harbor Of paradise.-N. o. Times

SCRATCHED HIS ROYAL FACE.
Deduction as to Why This Act of
Vandalism Was Done by
Woman.

Some recent visitor to Hampton
Court has deliberately scratched the
face Of Henry VIII. as represented in
the family group additionally ascrihed
to HOlbein. The act, Of course, was that
OF some kind of mOnOmaniac. The the
DRY of one of the guardians of the pal
ace, as reported in the London Daily
News, is amusing, though one may
doubt that the DETACHMENT is a tardy
act of retribution by a member of the
Antidivorce League. Says the repre-
sentative of the News:
well, the man who scratched the
face of Henry VIII" said 1, must
presumably have been intoxicated, or
half-wittedR
Mani" he echoed, with a signifi-
can't emphasis. But what if I was to
suggest to you that it wasn't mann"
mot a man? Well, then, child?"
mo, nor yet child"
What" 1 cried, as the memory OF
Of Edgar Allen Poe's stories required
to me. you surely can't-you don't
really mean to suggest that it was an
ape?"
mo, and not an ape" chuckled the
old man, much enjoying my amaze
ment.
Then, in the name Of all that's
mysterious, whom or what do you sus-
pect?'
"a woman" he solemnly answered,
wagging a wise forefnger in my
astonished face.
"a woman!" I exclaimed, "but
why?"
"Ah,' said he, slowly shaking his
head, 'to you and me what Henry VIII.
did may not seem a matter to bother
about now. It's past and done with,
any way, and we wouldn't think to
bear any personal malice. But women
well, sir, they're made differently to
men. They don't forget. You take it
from me, sir-the scratching of Henry
Wills face was the work Of woman"

WHEN NOT TO FISH.
Fish Are Sensitive to Weather Even
If Not Affected by the
Zodiac.

Anglers know that fish are more sub
ject to the weather than rheumatic old
maid in a Maine town, and the wise ones
among them who go into the woods for
an outing OF weeks do their fishing only
New York Sun,
They fish steadily through days of
good fish weather and stay quietly in the
hotel playing seven-up and bridge whist
through days of bad fish weather anu
have a good time. They show more fish
at the end of the trip than the inexpe-
rienced fellows who rush out upon the
rivers and lakes morning after morning,
no matter what the temperature and hui
Nudity.
DR.. John Crawford, one Of the passen-
ger agents of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad, has a theory that there
are only two or three good fishing days
in month, and that muskallonge, trout
and bass are governed by the signs of
the zodiac. He fishes only when the sign
of Cancer is dominant, or, as he ex-
presses it, when "the sign is in the
stomach" He catches good many fish
On his days, too
Old hands who do not carry almanacs
In their grips, watch the skies and sally
when things are just right. The ideal
fishing day for lake or streams is one
when the sky is overcast steadily by light
gray clouds sufficiently dense to hide the
sun and there is just enough of breeze to
maintain ripples On the water.
If the sun comes out the day will be
more than half spoiled, and if the breeze
dies out it will be wholly so. Just as bad
a state of things will follow if there is a
hard rain, though fish will always bite
during driZzle, or il the breeze increases
to high wind making the water rough.
On a gray day, with a steady, light
breeze, bass or trout will always bite at
any time Of the season.
Again there are days when fish cannot
be tempted to strike at any sort of lure,
live. dead or artificial, no matter how in
dustriously and scientifically the angler
casts for them. This sort of day is per-
feGtly still with the water like mirror
and not breath of air to crinkle the sur
face. At such time the bottom of a
clear lake may be discerned at depth of
from ten to 20 feet, and the fish are abso-
Iutely nonresponsive to coaxing.
l. is true that they retire to holes so
deep that they cannot be seen even with
the aid of water glass, or else to tangles
of lice and lily pads where they are Sc
curely hidden, but even though their
lurking places be known they cannot be
weather should change, the sky become
overcast with a moderate southerly or
eastscly breeze, in half an hour the fish
will have taken their accustomed sta
lions, will have gone to feeding and will
strike avidly at any lure which comes
along

KlOn dixie Gold.

The Klondike district does not give
promise of increasing it's output of
gold over that of last year, which
amounted to s12,Oo0,OOO. Lack of new
strikes or discoveries since the mem
orable find in 1896 has set limit on
the output and it is now on the de-
cline, having at this date produced
over $80,000,000 in gold. The Nome
mining district is daily increasing as
a producer and is being extended over
a vast expanse of territory, projecting
from Golovia bay to the Arctic ocean
and east inland from the Behring sea
as far as the difficulties Of transporta-
ton will permit.-Albany Argus.

A SONG OF DUTY.

Sorrow comes and sorrow goes,
Life is f1ecked with shine and shower,
Now the tear of grieving flows,
Now we smile in happy hour;
Death awaits us, every one
Toiler, dreamer, preacher, writer
Let US, then, ere life be done,
Make the world a little brighter!
Burdens that our neighbors bear,
Easier let us try to make them;
Chains, perhaps, our neighbors wear,
Let us do our best to break them.
From the straitened brain and mind
Let us loose the binding fetter,
Let US, as the Lord designed,
Make the world a little better!
Selfish brooding sears the soul,
Makes the heart a nest of sorrows,
Darkening the shining goal
OF the sun-illumined morrows;
Wherefore should our lives be spent
Daily growing blind or binder?
LetuS, as the Master meant,
Make the world a little kinder!
