New York. Evidences Of an advanced

this village. There are wood caryers,

weave beautiful cloth with strands Of

SLOUGH white hat and face that re-

and his wife. a patient, meek little
body trudged along after him. 1t was
clear that she was only an appendix
and not even vermIform one at that,
for she was no troublemaker. He had
tried It on several of the uniformed
young gentlemen known as jefferson
guards but got no satisfaction, and so
perceivIng what he mlstook for a look
of intelligence upon our faces he In
quired:
"Can you tell us where the gondola
cage is?"
Man like. John began fumblIng the
leaves OF his official guide" to locate
the gondola cage. but with a womans
sympathetic intuition | quickly per-
celved that the old man from Arkansas
had been imposed upon and said:
NO; there is no such thing on the
grounds as a gondola cage"
whereupon a look of sadness came
over his features as he said;
awful sorry to hear that, sir. W.

"A male and female gondola If they coul'
be found"

NATURE SPARES

II is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover, in the height Of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at its

were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a yeritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
