Smiling at her, the diva began to
sing, at first very softly. The notes OF
Marguerite's plaintive ballad fell clear
and sweet upon the twilight. The

fire and Lit the gas. A moment after

unfastened her coat Her friend was
painting and wore an April face, and
the girl suddenly exclaimed:
Darling! Not really?"
"He Is so strong-and dear. OF

the girl reminded her, laughing and
crying In sympathy. - New York

by selling popcorn on the streets of
Cleveland. The sobriquet of Pop
corn" Lewis followed him to the early
oil fields, along Oil Greek, where he
increased his fortune. He became in
terested in the building of the old Oil
Creek Railroad, running from Oil City
to Cory. Later he put his money
into a road from Cory to Buffalo,
which was a few years ago absorbed
by the Pennsylvania. Soon after its
completion by buying up stock he be-
came sole owner of the road.
Retiring Lewis made his home at
Cory, where he built fine home and
lived until about six years ago, when
he went to Cleveland. Always eccen-
trio, he became more so as he aged.
His was a figure that always caused
comment. Tall and spare but of erect
carriage, he for years appeared dress
ed in the same manner-a coat of roy
al purple, cut after the style of a
Prince Albert, fastened with buttons
made from ten-dollar gold pieces bear
ing his monogram; a peculiar-shaped
light felt, while a covered basket of
the picnic" style swung on his arm.
What he carried in his basket is prob
ably known only to his immediate
family.
OF late years Lewis fortune dwin-
died considerably, and his magnificent
home was finally disposed of. He re-
tanned sufficient to spend his remain
ing days in comfort, but it was gen.
orally supposed that his wealth had
vanished, though where or how was
always a mystery.
He is survived by a son, w. R.
Lewis, who still resides at Cory,
where he is classed as one of the
towns respected citizens.

for Those of Small Means.

Portugal Ia the Best Place in Europe
for Those of Small Means.
Men with limited means and q de-
sire to enjoy all the comforts and
most Of the luxuries of life should go
to Portugal That is the cheapest
country in the world for the tourist,
while the resident there can have
good time by the expenditure of very
little money. An American visitor can
live there in good style on the equiv
alent of the mere daily tips exacted
in French and English hotels.
If your bill comes to $1.25 a day at
a Portugal hotel you will be living
extravagantly- For half Of that sum
you can easily get good board and
lodging in reputable houses, with two
meals daily SO full of courses that you
cannot help thinking it is sheer rob-
berry to eat even half of the menu.

He had good room for the night,
and in the morning was served with
breakfast of coffee and buttered
toast. Then the landlord presented
his BILL with profound apologies and
compliments. 1t amounted to "a cents

little house, in which, 1 was told, liv-

refused guests at their pleasure.
AT first sight of me these gentle
souls begged to be excused. They
were not accustomed to foreigners,
they said, and feared they could not
give me satisfaction. But 1 overcame
their objections. and in the most gra.
cious way they then invited me to en-

Presently dinner came-Hors

TS the Old Lighthouse to become thing of the pasts Not if this company prevent it. The Old Lighthouse must and shall remain to tell It's story of long years of usefulness before the building of the New Lighthouse on South West Ledge. One hundred years ago the ground or rock upon which the Old Lighthouse stands was deeded to the Uni ted States Government for the purpose of buildnga lighthouse For nearly century that beacon at the eastern entrance to New Haven harbor has thrown it's beams across the waters from the rocky point whereon it stands. None can say how many ships have been saved from wreck and how many human livesfrom death by its unceasing vigilance. As feature of the scenery the Old Lighthouse hances the beauty of one of the most picturesque spots on the shores of Long Island Sound.
 The property owned by the Lighthouse Point ln- provement Company, and now to be put upon the market consists of seventy-hve acres of land the southeastern entrance to New Haven Harbor. On the west 1t is bounded by enduring rocks which for centuries have defed the sea.
 On the south one passes by the Old Lighthouse along the shore until he comes to beach, in many respects the most beautiful on the entire coast If the wind is from the southwest, he will hear the roar of the breakers behind him, mingled with the rush of the incoming and the sigh of the receding waves upon the beach in front.
 On the east the property is bounded by what is called The Creek. sinuous stream which winds it's way through the meadows This creek is to be dredged and wdened, and an inland harbor
 made to accommodate the boats of the cottagers who shall be fortunate enough to have their homes here during the summer months. Inland the attractive of the locality is no less apparent than along the shore Here are groves of beautiful trees exten- sive fields and luxuriant meadows which will soon be laid out in delightful building sites The seventy. five acres included in Lighthouse Park are bounded three sides by Water-deep, clean water with no unsightly mud flats to the scene when the tide goes out.

Unneeded Strain ON Horses.

The strength required Of an average
Tied team of horses and the strain on
the horses to draw a heavy load over
stones or out of deep rut, hole or
over many other avoidable obstacles
are often greater than to draw the same
load over a smooth surface fifty yards.
It would be small estimate to say
a careless driver strains his team in
that manner twenty times day.
II the driver prevents straining his
horses twenty times each day he will
save them 1000 yards of unnecessary
pulling and in the 800 working days OF
the year 300, 900 yards and in five years
1.5OO, 200 yards yearly 1000 miles.
With proper Judgment and careful
ness the driver at the end Of the five
years will have, in place of team Of
weak, overworked, bony horses, team
OF healthy and strong ones.
From business point Of view, will
1t not pay any horse owner, driver or
teamster to be careful and considerato
and to avoid all unnecessary strains on
horses 1Our Dumb Animals.

The position of the Japanese wife is

acts from her the little attentions that

ally gets from her husband Without
SO much as murmur of complaint

ceive him with bows and smiles and
ever have her mind and eyes on his

pleases. When be fares forth socially

seldom presents herself unless in some
mental capacity. And, while such a
thing as conjugal love must exist in
Japan, it usually escapes the notice of
the foreign sojourner, the people con-
sidering it vulgar to exhibit emotion of
any kind in public. The wife as So
cial unit being completely submerged,
it follows that others of her sex must
take her place socially, and in this
Office the geisha girls play an impor-
