MARK TWAIN'S
COYOTE DESCRIPTION

The coyote of the farther deserts is
a long, slim, sick and sorry looking
skeleton with gray wolf skin stretch
ed over it, a tolerably bushy tail that
forever says down with despairing
expression of forsakenness and misery,
a furtive and evil eye, and a long.
sharp face, with slightly lifted lip and
exposed teeth.
He has general sinking expression
all over. The coyote is living, breath
ing allegory of want. He is always
hungry. He is always poor, out of
luck and friendless. The meanest
creatures despise him and even the
fieas would desert him for velocipede
He is so spiritless and cowarC1ly that.
even while his exposed teeth are pre-
tending a threat, the rest of his face
is apologzing for it. And he is so
homelyi so scrawny, and ribby, and
coarse haired. and pitiful.
When he sees you he lifts his lip and
lets a. flash of his teeth out and then
turns a little out of the course he was
pursuing, depresses his head a bit and
strikes long, soft-footed trot through
the sage brush, gIancing over his
shoulder at you from time to time till
he is about out of easy pistol range,
and then he stops and takes a deli
berate survey of you. He will trot
fifty yards, and stop again; another
fifty and stop again: and. finally, the
gray of his gliding body blends with
the gray of the sage brush and he
disappears.

Eventually, his friends obtained his
freedom, but, unfortunately. he linger-

compense for his suggestions which

arrested for the fifth time and flung
into the Bicetre, the fouIest prison in

of his sufferings. which fell into the
hands OF Madame Legros. She adopted
his cause. persevered until three years
of incessant labor were rewarded by
La Tudes liberty.
He was released on March 4, 1884,
after captivity of 35 years, and be-
came one of the lions of French society.
He obtained heavy damages from La
Pompadour's heirs, and lived to be
! so years of age. Notwithstanding the
severity of his sufferings and his pro-
tracted hardships, which. originating
in woman's spite were ended by means
of woman's pity.-Kansas City In

AN UNNAMED GRAVE.
nY MRS. GEORGE P. PICKETT.

BY MRS. GEORGE E. PICKETT. (copyright. 1904. by Daily Story Pub
 fishing Company.)
 The lonely grave down in the south west corner was heaped oyer with red roses and white lilies that rose in a growing, fragrant, rapturous mass of concentrated fire and snow.
 The girl who bent over 1t to place one last white blossom on the glorious pile; seemed afar from the world by her rapt devotion to the lone grave. Her fingers hovered in tender curves over the flower through which she con- veyed her last farewell to the unknown dead as if unwilling to part from so fair a blossom even in response to the call of sad and sacred duty.
 Through rift in the parted branches Of the evergreens that surrounded the grave she could see the throng of peo- pie bending over the mounds that dot ted the hillside. The hedge of green cry seemed to set her apart from them. Hers was little world wherein she and the dead man dwelt alone. She had never seen the soldier who had zone to rest from the battle under the Rreen-sodded mound encircled by the Arhor vitae, yet she could not remem- ber time when she had not put flow CTS each year over the unknown dead.
 Through her childhood she had come with her mother. who had saved the most beautiful roses and lilies in the garden to deck that grave when flower day should come. Now she came alone. more as a memorial to her lost and gone mother than in any fancied re- membrance of the dead soldier. Ev- cry 30th of May they had thus decked his grave. though when Elsie could just remember there had been no pub 7io celebration of the day.
 Tt is the day he died" said her mother once when she had gloried in the beauty of the May that was dying an supernatural light.
 He was killed in battle?" she had asked, looking back at the grave where . gIint of sunlight drifting through the trees fell across the rose and snow, piled above it. There was an instants nause and then the reply softly spoken:
 ssYes, the hardest battle man ever fought"
 That was years ago and now the whole nation had chosen the day of fhis mans death as the time for re-

woman could live in a large city without money or friends. She took only 50 cents with her and little food in a satchel.
 The first thing that she discovered was the impossibility of keeping clean. No baths are furnished at the tramps' lodging houses, and there is no chance to wash clothes.
 "A woman tramp must grow every day more and more dirty" she says, especially as so much dirty work is required of her in return for her ped and breakfast. Everything in the lodg- ing houses is dirty. The pillows were so black that I had to cover them all ways with a handkerchief or a piece of the blanket"
 If 1t had not been for the food they carried in the satchel they would have given up. Another week of such a life would have made us both Gerious- ly ill.," she says in little book she has written.
 The book ends with the following question: Suppose we had no friends no cheerful welcome awaiting us! Be- fore us would have stretched the life of poverty, the search for uncertain work. the pawning of every article for food, more warehouses, more tramp ing. In the end, with torn and dirty clothing and cleanliness gone-wnat then?"

membering with outward observance the heroic dead.
 "Tn sacred memory of a soldier of the South," was the inscription on the marble sIad at the head. Nothing to show to what Southern hearts he had been dear in the olden days of fire and storm. nor what had been his rank in that devoted army that had sealed its faith with the blood red seal. "A sol- dier of the South" was all that she had ever known of him, and the fact that he had been dear to her mother, as shown by her memory of him when the day of flowers came.
 There were other soldiers of the South sleeping on that hillside at peace with the soldiers of the North who shared tteir spacious grounds. Rose mont had been near the line in war days and they who wore the gray and they who wore the blue had come back to their home to the beat of muff1ed drums and gone to rest side by side. with never a vestige of battle rage burning in their still hearts.
 Those other graves were abloom with many flowers, but none were snowy with the gleam of lilies and ablaze with the crimson fire of roses as was that secluded place where the HdmeleSS neaQSIOne marked the grave of one unknown to the world.
 Why is not his name there?" she had asked her mother on the first day she could remember in her childhood when she had stood beside the mound and put glowing red rose at. it's head with little hand that was hidden by the great crimson blossom.
 T think he would have wished ii so," was the reply in a low tone that left no room for further questioning She had never heard that name, but she knew 1t had been graven in a ten der and sacred place in her mother heart and the inscription on the stone was as a beautiful and wonderful name to her.
 As she went out by the pathway through the circle of green a young man, meeting her. took off his hat and bowed. the sun striking gold sparkles from his hair as he bent his uncover ed head before her. A soft color swept over her face as she returned his greeting. They walked together be- tween long lines of mounds with little stones at their heads each with a name that belonged to the village records and had a distinctive place in the vil- lage heart. Thus they went silently until they came to a monument that

 Elsie walked to the window and looked out through a mist of tears that dimmed the golden wine of the sun that was poured in a radiant flood over the world.

Lines to q Plough.

ter seeing a steam plough few days ago. The first I have seen since the Royal Agriculture show In Plymouth, England, in 1888. When boy with other boys, my parents and grand parents, we viewed all the wonders Of the agricultural show, the principal at- traction being a steam plough drawn by traction or road engine, with cars or trucks attached when not ploughing, and I well recollect the fun we all enjoyed riding over the field in the cars. Oh! plough that blows by steam And burys the grass, which grows so green What thoughts of earlier days In my gray head you raise. Long years ago in boyhoods time When I was young and in my prime saw a plough which ploughed the To very interesting little band. Father and mother were then dressed In their best; Grandmother. too, made up the rest, While cousins in plenty stood around And watched the plough turn over the ground.
 This was in eighteen hundred and six ty-eight, And where now are those who were then on pleasure bent? Most of them dead and in their graves And joy in the survivors heart no longer waves. Strangers have stepped upon the scene With virtues just as good as ever seen, But the friends of our boyhood's ways Brings sad recollections in after days.
 
 When reality comes to the plough, The pleasant times of then and now, And reality becomes a fact, Will soon teach us what virtues we lack. l The burden of the present, whether we be rich or poor, | When we have lived some fifty years or more
 Will yeveal to us the fact that in the past
 Other hands were at the plough | though this couldn't last. The time will surely come | When our own ploughing must be done. | Our hand to the plough we must firm To ward off the worlds sharp rasp. In fifty years what experiences we | have met Now our glorious morning sun has set, i While cheek and impudence have of-
 ten been app1auded.
 Noble deeds and honest deeds so un- l rewarded.
 How hard that others fail to see us in l the light we wish
 Until with us this life shall cease | Then our virtues others will extol And represent our lives as good as l gold.
 Once when we were boys going home l from school,
 A neighbor departed from the golden rule:
 A portion of which he swore that we
 stole.
 His garden had never seen; | Its whereabouts I could not ween- | But always after from that date
 Its whereabouts I did investigate.
 Until found the place with all its
 luscious fruit,
 Ana then his garden the boys began | to loot.
 Until the bushes all were bare
 And no sign that a berry had ever | been there:
 And so 1t goes in life when we are | held to blame
 For our faults. or that of others just | the same
 If we are accused oft enough
 We will soon be walking in the trough. We will not stand accused for naught And 1t 'tis said we stole the fruit; Ten to one we soon will do it l Though all our lives we may rue it.
