 His is a cooler job. But see here, my dear goddess. you don't seem to like the way we take our pleasures"
 No" said she. "Your method ;s too strenuous and restless for me. Of sum- mer's night should much prefer the cool of the grass to rest my weary bones on, the light of the moon to guide me hther and yon, and the music of the restling trees to enchant mine ear.

 I laughed at the lack of conscience be- tween the lady's views and her own presence at this function.

 voice at my side, and, turning I beheld the missing deity. clad in lovely gown, of exquisite make and unusually sum- merish pattern, sitting slightly behind me in my box.
 'You-here?" I whispered in return
 What does this mean?"
 'Only that I occasionally weary of standing on my toes, in more or less feeble imitation of my cousin Mercury, as he used to appear in his famous flying act at the Elyslum Roof Garden, and am allowed the relaxation of a visit to earth at certain intervals" the lady replied.
 I should think it would be a good deal of a relief" said I.
 Tt is indeed" she agreed. You don't know really what an awful job that IS standing up on the pinnacle twenty four hours a day with nothing to relieve the monotony of it save that which comes from twirling around and around like a weather vane. Just try it yourself once" she added.

was sitting on the roof of the Madison Square Garden the other night, drinking In the beauties of the scene with my eyes, when, suddenly leaning back in my chair and glancing up into the heavens, what was my surprise to discover that the chaste but brazen Diana of the Tower was absent from her post! I rub bed my eyes in amazement that this should be, and my first inclination was to sound an alarm, since I feared that some light fingered Actoeon had intruded again upon the privacy of the presiding genius of Madison square, and, reversing the ancient tale of villany and woe, had made on with her. I sprang to my feet Wlth munled cry, when I felt a sudden tug at my sleeve.

II. G. SHoBER, insurance commissions
er OF South Dakota, will retire from
office the first of next month. His sue
cessor, Mr.. Perkins, iudgingf rom the
record he seems to have already
made for himself in public way, will
doubtless prove more popular commits
sioner with the influential elements in
and out of the state than the present
incumbent has, and give more general
satisfaction. The writer of this par
agraph was associated with Mr.. Shober
as deputy OF the department. for year
and half, and therefore knew him
perhaps as intimately as any one else.
We found him personally fine fellow,
with mind we'll endowed with busi-
ness ability, strictly attentive to the
interests of the department and pos
sessing backbone that never failed
him in the discharge of any Disagree
able duty that he considered devolved
upon him as commissioner when he got
ready to move. Had he been more con-
servative and less an extremist, more
disposed to substitute diplomacy for
what would appear to be direct com
pulsion in the prosecution of the more
delicate and serious business of the de-
partment, il wonld have been difficult
to replace him with more popular
commissioner. He has done not little
wholesome work for the state in plac-
ing the department on an advanced
business basis and in our humble
opinion was the man for the place at
the time he accepted his commission.

Backed up by over a third of century
Of remarkable and uniform cures a record

Their financial responsibility is well

Literature and Matrimony.

1t has recently been proved that al
though feminine independence, author
ship and matrimony are each great In
their way, yet the greatest of these is
matrimony. The world had no sooner
recovered from its surprise ut Miss
Wilkins marriage than the news ar
rived that Miss Alice Hogan of "Cab-
bage Patch fame, who dedicated her
last book to one Mr.. Rice, who had
helped her to discover roses growing
among cabbages," had married this in
spirer, and now comes the intelligence
that Miss Josephine Dodge Daskam,
author Of a recent beck on Middle
Aged Loves" had decided to take q
middle aged husband.
Henry James once wrote story,
"The Lesson OF the Master" TO prove
that no man could be a perfect artist
IL he took to himself wife. 'Wom-
en-" said the master, "are themselves
the sacrifice. They're the idol and the
altar and the fame' No one has tried
to prove that woman may not marry
and at the same time remain an artist.
And one fact shines clear in the midst
OF matrimonial and literary confusion.
that men, even when all other offices
have been wrested from them, may
still perform valuable service as in
spirers of literature. Chicago Tribune.
