Love in Laplsnd

When a lad is in love with glrl IN
Lapland they run race-not a fair
race, for be is 80 heavily handicapped
that if che wishes the girl canget first
to the goal, but if she cares for the
young man who is trying TO win she
lets him overtake her, because if she
outruns him he cannot propose again.
But even if he wins the race aud the
girl at the same time the young lovers
cannot be married until they have the
consent Of the girls parents. AT one
time if a man married a girl without
this he was liable 10 receive capital
punishment.
Besides an engagement ring, the
young Laplanderse sends his future bride
a girdle and a quantity Of brandy. He
goes az far az the door Of her hut, bat
remains outside until invited TO enter,
when bumper Of brandy is offered to
the girls father. II he drinks it, ii
means that he gives bic consent to the
marriage, and the happy lover then
pays the father a sum Of money and
promises to give the girl some clothes.

Negro Won Real Estate Deal.

After ten years of negotiation and
arbitration over little strip Of land
that sticks in Biltmore, the George W.
Vanderbilt estate near Asheville, n.
c., like a wedge, the multi millionaire
has been forced to surrender TO the
negro owner Of the Typographical
wedges. He has agreed not only to
pay the former slave some hundred
times what his six acres Of thin soil is
worth with its three-room cabin, but
will build house elsewhere for him
and keep it in repair for the rest OF his
life.
Charles Collins is the negro who
compelled Mr. Vanderbilt to come to
his way of thinking In the early
stages of the negotiations the million
sire made an offer Of a fabulous sum
for the si1-acre wedge and the tumble
down cabin on it. 1t is said that It's
proximity to the mansion built by the
millionaire led him to make an offer
of $4,000 for the property. But the
negro's friends advised him not TO ac-
cept his offer. They told him to hold
out for more and be would be sure to
get it, for the reason that Mr.. Wander
bilt would not want to look down on
his rickety cabin from his front door.
But the offer was not forthcoming
as Collins expected A year ago he
found he could not make living on
the place and decided to rent it. Not
that he objected to Mr.. Vanderbilt for
a neighbor, for he didn't. He aid,
on the contrary, that the millionaire
was one Of the best neighbors he ever
had, and that be never thought Of
locking up his hen-hOu'' at night even
when Mr.. Vanderbilt was entertain
lug one Of his large house parties
Collins tenant was a mountalneer
named Bill Sharp. At first no notice
was taken Of the new tenant among
those at Bil,more, but after a time
Mrs. Vanderbilt wanted to know who
the white man WAS that had usuTped
the domicile Of the ex-slave She said
that as a neighbor Collins was prefer
able to the tall, lsnky mouDtslneer.
When the facts bad been made
clear to her the mistress of Biltmore
took a hand IN the negotiations over
the cabin and wedge of ground. AT
her solicitation Mr.. Vanderbilt in
structed bis agents TO bring Collins
back at any cost and give him what
ever he asked for the obstruction in
his landscape. Collins wac located in
Pittsburg. He is expected back here
in a few days to take advantage Of the
offer that has come to him. He says
he will never work another day AS
long as he lives.

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

A woman can do great deal Of
dressing without getting much on.
1t isn't what a woman says with
out looking at you; it is what she
looks without saying it.
The surest way for man to make
girl marry him is to try to prevent
her from doing it.
A man can get great reputation
with a woman by opening telegram
lust as if it wouldn't bite.
When a young woman begins to
lengthen her dress at the bottom che
begins to shorten it at the top.
Generally when woman says her
heart is breaking she means she is
mad enough to tear somebody's eyes
out.

SANDALPHON.

Have you read IN the Talmud Of old.
In the legends the rabbis have told
OF the limitless realms Of the air
Have you read 1.-THE marvellous story
OfSandalPhon. the Angel Of glory,
Ssndalphou, the Angel Of prayer
How. erect, at the ouiermost gates
OF the City Celestial he waits.
With his feet on the ladder Of light
That crowded with angels unnumbered,
By Jacob was seen as he slumbered
Alone in the desert at night!
The Angels Of Wind and Of Fire
Chant only one hymn, and expire
With the songs irresistible stress
Expire-in their rapture and wonder
As harp-suings are broken asunter
BY music they throb to express.
But. serene, in the rapturous throng,
Unmoved by the rush Of the song,
With eyes unimpassioned and slow.
Among the dead angels, the deathless
Sandalphon stands listenins breathless
To sounds that ascend from below -
From the spirits on earth that adore.
From the souls that snueaI and imPlore
In the ieryor and passion o.! prayer
From the hearts that are broken with losses
And weary with dragging the crosses
Too heavy for mortals to bear.
And he gathers the prayers as he stands
And they change into flowers in his hands
Into garlands Of purple and red
And beneath the great arch Of the portal
Through the streets Of the City Immortal.
Is waited the fragrance they shed.
It's but legend | know
A fable, phantom, a show,
OF the ancient rabbinioal lore
Yet the old medieval tradition.
The beautiful. strange superstition.
Buthaunts me and holds me the more.
When look from my window At night
And the welkiu above is all white,
All thr0bbiug and painting with STATS
Among them majestic is standing
Sandalphou, the angel, expanding
His pinions in nebulous bars.
And the legend. | feel is apart
OF the hunger and thirst Of the heart
The frenzy and FIRE Of the brain,
That grasps at the fruitage forbidden.
The golden pomegranales Of Eden,
10 quie, its fever aud pain.
