They found her stark, and cold and dead
In that dark prison cell,
Neglected and forsaken, old
And marred past tongue to tell,
Surrounded by grim spectral shapes
That Knocked her where she fell.
How Jared she to this dismal place?
How came she here to die?
From what sweet. howered way or youth
And girlhood long gone by,
Came she TO this barred room OF hell
Upon these stones to lie?
From what white skies to these OF gloom,
From what bright world and fair,
From what dear arms OF love TO this
Grim silence and despair?
So like a withered leaf she lies,
And who is there to care?
Far back In some white cradle, she
Gazed In a mothers eyes,
And smiled and lifted dimpled hands
In wondering surprise.
And in her eyes there was hint
OF yonder azure skies.

The only thing that can easily be
found where it does not exist is fault.
That is, you can easily find it in
others. But in yourself, though you
be blackened with it, you can't see it
so easily.
II the other fellow has fault
and sometimes if he hasnt-you are
quick to perceive it.
You necessarily find fault with the
weather. 1t is either too warm or too
cold, too wet or too dry, too sunny or
too cloudy, and you have good deal
to say about it.
And the times never suit you. It's
either hard times, or else some other
people are making too much money
by the methods you don't know any
thing about and so don't approve.
Deep in your Inconsistencies you
are quite sure that money-making
which you can't comprehend and can't
initiate can't be honest.

He Knew Memphis Lawyers

Honorable Malcolm Rice Patterson,
who represents the Tenth District Of
Tennessee in the lower house Of Con-
gress, and who describes himself in
the Congressional Directory as a
Democrat by faith and q lawyer by
profession, tells a good joke on him
self.
During the past summer, Mr.. Pat
terson wandered into the interior of
his rative state, and one morning he
drifted into a small township where
a friend was holding court The star
performer at the session was a VEN
cradle darkey, who had caused the
arrest of an equally ancient crony
on charge Of having attempted to pill
fer his watch.
The old man described dramati
cally how the two had few drinks
Of gin; that his companion had en-
gagged him in earnest conversation
and then had attempted to extract
his watch and fob. Everything went
against the defendant, and he was
about to be sent down when Mr.. Pat
terson, with the judges permission,

Queer Tidbits.


How many Of you have ever tasted
cakes of ants? No, not the kind made
by aunts, but with ants. The children
OF other countries are as fond OF
cakes made of these insects as the
New England boys and girls are OF
crullers.
In Africa the natives wash the ants
and fry them in butter very much as
we would fritters. These cakes are
regarded as great delicacies. and in
that land are said to taste like nuts.
In India ants are mixed in batter
and baked like cookies. In Brazil ants
are grilled and the people eat them
like marrons (chestnuts).
The Romans gathered white worms
from the leaves and trees of the
acacia plant and cooked them. These
worms were eaten alive by some Aus
tralian tribes, who say they taste like
eggs.
The Chinese fatten the white worms
found on cabbage by feeding them
apples and bananas. This diet is sup.
posed to give them a better flavor.
Little peasant children in remote
parts OF Europe catch bees, pull them
apart and suck the honey. They
think If candy is flying about in the
air they might as well help themselves
to it.

The death of John f. Coyle, once a
well-known newspaper man in New
York, at the age of "a years, recalls
valuable chapter in history which he
did not relate until twenty-five years
after the assassination of President
Lincoln.
Coyle was editor of the famous Ma
tional Intelligencer at Washington dur
ing the civil war. He and Ford, who
owned the theater where Lincoln was
shot, were fast friends. Coyle was
arrested three times and badgered
mercilessly in an effort to make him
tell about the plot, OF which he knew
nothing except that Booth was his
good friend. His innocence of knowl-
edge before the fact was clearly es-
tablished, and he was finally allowed
to so free.
Coyle told this story, as he stated, to
stop the falsehoods which were circu-
lated about his meeting with Wilkes
Booth on the morning OF the assassha-
ton and about a letter which Booth
wrote to him before he fired the fatal
bullet.
ION the morning OF April IA, 1865,
was conversing with Major Thomas
Donoho, when Wilkes Booth joined us.
Later Booth and | went into a near
by restaurant and there he said to
me:
Suppose Lincoln should be killed
or die, what would be the result?'
Johnson would succeed him;
there would be no change | replied.
Then Gov. Seward would come next
l believe. All that is provided for by
law
"As | remembered it afterward,
Booth grew excited and said: But il

all could be swept away, what then"

such thing could never happen. They

"'No, no, he replied. They DON'T
and abruptly left me.
This conversation made no impress
sion on my mind. That night, while
on my way to the Offices of the Ma
tional Intelligencer, | heard OF the as
NOR of a letter having been given by
Booth to some one, who was instruct
ed to deliver it to me. The fact, too,
of my having been seen with him that
morning was generally known ana
commented upon. 1t rendered me UNI
pleasantly and dangerously conspicu-
Gus during the reign of terror.
1T was generally believed that
had received the letter. But that re-
NAMED a mystery until the winter OF
1865, when John Matthews, a we'll
known actor and my friend, told me
that Booth mad given him sealed
package and requested him If he did
not hear from him to the contrary to
deliver it to me on the following day.
After the assassination Matthews
opened the letter and read it. Upon
consideration he burned it. Matthews
did not remember the entire text but
he told me that the concluding lines
were these: L know / shall be con-
demned for my act at the Present
time, but | am willing to trust to his
tory and posterity for the vindication
of my name and motives
This is the whole story of my meet
ing with Wilkes Booth and all the
knowledge | have of the letter he
wrote"

in court. The darky shifted uneasily
and then, diving down in his jeans,
produced a watch, wrapped in several
layers OF tissue paper.

The old man shambled up to the

in a perfectly audible voice: Judge,

The player representing the hen
puts a red handkerchief around his
head, il he can get one, or in absence
behind with piece of string to rep
resent the short, perky tail Of hen.
The player who represents the hawk
covers his head with a black or white
handkerchief and swings his arms
during the game to represent the
hawks pinions.
All the other players represent
chicks, and children of all ages may
join. All the chicks get behind the
hen, clustering just as chicks do in a
barnyard, and all keep their eyes on
the hawk.
He must approach the chicks to try
to carry off one at a time. The hen
must try to head him off, whichever
way he may come. The chicks must
dodge the hawk in every possible way,
but they must also try never to run
from behind the shelter of the hen.
The hawk naturally tries to "cut
out" one of the chicks and chase it
away from the hen. Then the hen,
still trying to keep all the other chicks
behind her, tries to save the fleeing
chick by interposing.
There is lots of chance here for
clever tricks and swift play The more
nearly the players copy the actions Of
real hawks and chickens. the more in
teresting the game will be.

This is a story of spelling class
in China:
The youngest of the children had,
by hard study, contrived to keep his
place so long that he seemed to claim
it by right Of possession. Growing
too self-confldent, however. he relaxed
his efforts, and one day missed a
word, which was Immediately spelled
by the boy standing next to him.
The face or the victor expressed
the triumph he felt, yet he made no

when urged to do SO, firmly refused,
saying:

hung a wooden hoop, with little bells,

One Of Life's TRAGEDIES

Then came the dawn OF womanhood
And life was rare and sweet,
The pathway reaching dowE the years
Seemed lowered at her Feet;
A curtain hid this awful scene,
This moment Of defeat.
So came at last the bitter end,
And on a. bitter night
Grim death stalked in unheralded
In majesty OF might
And smote the prison house OF clay,
To give her spirit flight.
And what OF all her wasted years
With hope once highly fraught?
And was she born into this world
To suffer and for naught
A blinded thing that blindly CROPPED
And in a web was caught?
They found her stark and cold and dead,
In that dark prison cell,
Neglected and forsaken, old
And marred past tongue to tell
Surrounded by grim spectral shapes
That Knocked her where she fell

With Bottle and Goblet.

Tell your company that you have a
bottle and a goblet, both full to the
brim of water, and that you are go.
ing to empty the goblet by means of
the bottle without taking a drop of
water from the latter.
This is the way to prepare for it.
With a red hot wire bore two holes
through cork and into them insert
two straws, one of them extending
above the cork as high as the goblet
is deep, the other about twice as
high.
Now, with little knesded bread
or wax close the upper end of the
shorter straw and then force the cork
into the mouth Of the bottle until the
water spurts out through the longer
straw.
Meanwhile you have the goblet Of
water On the table near you, and also
basin or bowl and pair OF scissors.
Hold the goblet over the basin with
your left hand, and with your right
turn the bottle upside down, putting
the shorter straw inside the goblet
As you do this have some one take
the scissors and cut off the closed
end of the shorter straw. Water will
at once begin to run out OF the longer
straw into the basin, and will con-
tinue to run until the goblet is empty.
You must. OF course, hold the bottle
so that the short straw will reach
down to the bottom OF the goblet.
This is simply the operation of q
siphon.
