A TRUE LOVER.

Say that you will be mine.~
 It was evening in Salt Lake City. The pale moon had risen resplendent over the plains of Utah. For moment the beautiful girl did not reply. Then she said lnquiringly:
 "I am not the only girl you eyer loved?"
 NO. darling" replied her lover Not quite. There are five others. But you are the sixth.''
 There was a moments silence aE-i then she said
 "I don't want to be selfish. dear. I am afraid that if you take me off or a trip the others will miss ycu too much"
 He smiled reassuringly.
 Have no fear of that" he replied. "They are used to an occasional honey moon on my part"
 But you are sure that you will not grow tired of me-"
 Never, darling. In proof of this. have 1 ever grown tired of the others?
 But are you sure there is room?"
 My pet, there is always room for one more"
 Still the proud beauty hesitated. She thought of her simple home in Vermont. She thought of the ones she had left behind her.
 q cannot" she said a last. "It would be too selfish of me. Behind me have left four younger sisters all unprovided for"
 But the tall, handsome. prospective United States senator only folded her in his arms with renewed energy.
 Enough he said almost sternly. If this is all have no fear. For your sweet sake, If necessary, I will marry them all.'-From Life

UNCLE SAM, BANKER FOR SOL,
 DiERS.

Your Uncle Sam is becoming quite banker for the American soldiers. For the year ended June 30, 1903. there was deposited by soldiers $1, ,sSS, ,014, and it is understood that the amount for the fiscal year which will end the last of the present month. will be much larg- CT. The enlisted men of the United States are allowed to leave their mon ey in the hands of paymasters, taking a certificate for it, and the government pays the men interest at the rate of four per cent a year.
 Many soldiers largely increase their earnings by leaving their money on deposit as long as possible, and it is really a very good savings bank for them. The year before the Spanish war the amount deposited was less than one-third of that deposited in 1903 The enlisted strength of the army has been increased since then, and is now about double what it was before the Spanish war but the amount left on deposit is three times as great as it was when the army was smaller. Possibly service in the orient and the establish ment of large posts have been con ducive to saving on the part of the troops. At all events, officers of the war department look upon the increase as being an indication of thriftiness on the part of the American soldiers On several occasions attempts have b5en made in congress to allow officers Of the army the same privilege of leaY- ing their money on deposit. but such a bill has been defeated every time Washington Post.

COAL CONTRACTS.

President Truesdale's emphatic and solemn denial of any combine to fix the price of coal is not convincing. It re- calls too strongly Lincoln's famous answer to the denial Of Douglas that there was any pro-slavery conspiracy. When, said Lincoln, people saw Ste phen and Franklin and Roger and James each working independently, as they proclaimed. turning out mortised timbers which fitted perfectly together to complete the framework of d house, with not a stick wanting and not a stick superfluOs, it was natural to conclude that Stephen and Franklin and Roger and James were operating according to a common plan.-Boston Record.

EVANS ON THE 8ATTLEsAIP.

Rear Admiral Evans takes little stock in the theory that the war be- tween Russia and Japan is proving that battleships are obsolete. He is quoted this way:
 This agitation against battleships is foolish. It can be best answered in the Yankec fashion by asking this question: How long would the Rus sian fleet stay in Port Arthur if there were no Japanese battleships outsider There is nothing that can replace the big battleships. I don't believe the Port Arthur fleet is crippled as badly as reported. but the Japanese will be masters of the sea for a long time"
 As usual, Fighting Bob" appears to have stated his case bluntly and effectively.

RUSSIA IN PROPHECY.

To the editor of The Sun-Sir: Tn the thirty ninth chapter of Ezekiel it is prophesiEd: And | will turn thee back and leave but a sixth part of thee"
 That IS, the Czar of Russia at the end of this war will have but one sixth of his army left, and I believe only ona-sixth of his navy also, for l interpret the prophecy that the cZar, and not Japan, is Cog.
 MagoG (EZellieI xxxviii. 3 is in Rus sia, north of the Caspian sea. Conner is ia Russia. north of the Black sea. MaFneek is in Russia, north of the line between Turkey and Russia. That, to ne. shows the country governed by Cog.
 According 10 the twenty-second verse of the thirty-eighth chapter. Cog has got to meet, besides, blood, pestilenes, overfiowing rains, great hailstones. fire and birthstone. That birthstone and fire are probably the same that will fall on Cog and Magog, as foretold in Revelation XIX. g: And fire came down from heaven and de- voured them"
 I believe that before this war is through all nations will be at war. What reason have I to think so2 I refer you to the prophecies of Joel Gi Ill. and iii, 1-2D and Zechariah Cxiy., 1-pl and also of Revelation (xyi'i. 1s-2D.

SHAVED HIMSELF AT 100.

Charles Henry Booth, who went into the drygoods business in New York over eighty years ago, and who was plenty old enough to retire thirty years ago, died at his home in Englewood, N. J., Sunday at the age of 1Ot. He had voted at every presidential election since the time of Monroe, was a whig, and then a republican in politics, used neither tobacco nor liquor, and was so vigorous that he continued to shave himself after he had passed the century mark. He bought life insurance pol icy from the Mutual company of New York in 1S43, in the first business week of its existence, and on his tooth birth day that company presented him with a testimonial as the oldest policyhold er in the world.

NEVER WITH HIM WHEN ALONE

Santos-Dumont, the aeronaut, was teStifying in a will case not long ago. He had no personal interest in the case. but knew the old man who had writ ten the will. Counsel for the contenst- ants was trying to show that the te.- tator was of unsound mind. "Did not tke old man talk to himself when he was alone?" asked the lawyer. "I do not know" said the witness, who fore. saw an opportunity to turn the laugh on his bullying inquisitor, What" ex- claimed the lawyer, you do not know, and yet you claim to be an intimate friend of his. How do you explain your ignorance of the fact that the deceased talked to himself when he was alone?" "Because," said Santos-Dumont, in his dryest manner, "I was never with him when he was alone.">

A SOUTHERN ESTIMATE.

MT. Quay was remarkable in his friendships. It was maxim of his that he never forgot a favor or a slight and never failed to repay them each in kind. For some reason he be- came attached in a friendly way to not a few southern democrats, and he showed his regard by working with all his force and influence in the Fifty first congress to defeat the force bill which the republicans were seeking to perpetrate upon the southern states elections. Senator Quay by great ex- ertion prevented the passage of tue bill.
 He was one of the greatest political leaders of his day. with none to sue ceed him in the republican party New Orleans Picayune.

THE SHIP OF LOVE.

Alas, the sea. Alas, the empty sea. The desolate disenchahtment of the sea When dreaming darkness lifts and
 brings the light And all the fleet of love is out of sight. But who shall sing the wonder of the
 sea,
 The great, mysterious magic of the sea? When on the deeps the heart thought empty lie The golden galleons of Loves 'nrgosy.

Mexican Joe's catch Of Monday. fin which he fought a fish all over the bay, showing his skill by dcdging under and around the moorings of more than half dozen moving lines, proved finally to be a seal. It gave him a merry ride and lowed him for several miles down the coast before he found what it was. He then parted his line and released it, Los Angeles Times.

Tim Buckley, who knows elephants as
a mother knows her own children, said
last night that the story of the elephant
cherishing revenge for the tailor who
had given him a piece of tobacco and
years after soaking him with muddy
water is all fake.
elephants will not take tobacco or
anything else, if they do not want 1t,
even if they have had it in their.
mouths; and what is more, / have
known elephants to be really fond of
tobacco and eat it with pleasure. I
have had elephants that would steal a
plug of tobacco out of a mans pocket
and swallow the whole thing. They do
not like the tobacco but they do like tn
licorice. Men and boys will frequently
give them tobacco and other things
which they do not like, under the pre-
tence of feeding them peanuts, but the
elephant is wise, and he will simply
toss such things to one side and go on
the ordinary course Of his life, without
a thought Of filling his trunk with mud
dy water and wetting the person who
gave him the stuff. louisville Cour-

executed for the same crime six months
earlier. Dodd's struggle for his life
never relaxed, and, in fact, became, so
to speak, posthumous; for when all else
had failed his friends arranged that his
body should be hurried from the gall
lows. to a surgeon specially retained
near the scene with the view to its re-
animation. And it is possible that the
plan would have succeeded if the i'm
mensity of the crowd had not prevented

as Dodd's case has been made by Dr.

Such unselfishness excited admiration.

much for them. In no instance did the
pair offer these instruction or pay any
attention to them. They all partook Of

outer layer Of papler- mache covering as
to give the nest natural concealment.
Whether this was Intentional or not, or
whether the leaves simply became an
obstruction as the nest was increased in
size by dismantling the inside and

than accident. Hornets were the first

MAKING PETS OF HORNETS,

II Gently Handled, This Writer Says,
They Become Docile as Butterflies.
The female hornet has rapid fire
armament with a recoverable projectile.
1t uses it for both attack and defence,
and with remarkable aim and efficiency.
The first stroke Of a hornet is as pene-
trating as an electric shock. At the
base Of its sharp sting there is a sack
containing poison which, when injected
into the substance of its enemy, causes
pain, swelling and discomfort, facts to
which most persons are able to testify
BY experience. Should the Pjection be
upon the end of the thumb Or nose, or
upon the tongue, there is danger from
it. Strong ammonia applied to the
wound is the best antidote. Yet the
hornet when treated politely and with
gentle ceremony is as docile as a but
terf1y.
In the mountains of West Virginia I
had wire fly trap which, by the seduc-
tive influence Of Tnolasses, persuaded
the house flies infesting my stave built
Office to enter. Once within it they re-
manned incarcerfated until hot water
cured. For several days very persis-
tent black and white striped hornet
amused me by its futile endeavors. to
seize flies from the buzzing horde of
prisoners, At last it found its way in,
and to my establishment after captur-=
ing a fly, found its way out. 1t had re-
membered the way of its entrance even
in the excitement of the chase. 1t did
not paralyze its prey, as does the mud.
wasp and other species. 1t did not stop
to eat a single fly so far as my observa-
