Zone day he fell out with the mule.
Ordinarily they get along well enough
together. But in some way the mule
on the day in question made the ne

first place the negro broke his water
jug over the mules head. This did
not feaze the animal. Grabbing the
mule by the ears and taking a good,
firm grip, the black man landed with
vigor between the mules ears, using
his head as weapon. The blow was
a knockout blow all right, but the
trouble was it knocked the negro out
also. Both mule and negro fell to the
ground as If dead. In q short while
both were up again and after that

Say, Rose. do you remember
I The day you sang his rhyme.
| As the nightingale In December,
Your voice rang like chime.
No thrush's note rose sweeter,
AS your iinnet's carol clear.
With musicS mournful meter,
That thrilled the spellbound ear.
Fate keyed their hearts together,
Pitched to the self-same tune,
But fckle as feather,
You changed with every moon.
Sweet was the summer season
When he and you first met,
To love you was his treason.
Then he is traitor yet!
Your lustrious eyes shone brightel
Than stars that gem the Dawn.
Than soft tread Of timorous fawn.
Your rose-leaf face was fairer
Than foam from wind-swept spray.
Your beauty's rich and rarer
Than blithe harbinger Of May.
Times up for love and laughter.
For soft VOWS and bridal bliss.
RemorSe must follow after
And chill sweet cling1ng KISS
They've had their share Of pleasure,
They've drained the sweets OF life;
Joy gave them heaping measure,
OF Loves keen lusty strife.
Farewell the farce Is ended,
The tawdry play is done,
Love dies when undefended,
Like some suppliant in the sun.
We never can rekindle
The fire on Fancy's shrine.
The smoldering fire will dwindle-
That fire we deemed divine!

chester (Va.) special to the New York
Herald, and brought with him terra
pin which has remarkable history.
Just thirty years ago, in 1874. Mr..
Stadden came across the terrapin on
his farm and on the bottom Of it's shell
inscribed the date. Every time since
then that he has seen the terrapin he
has cut the date on the shall and the
entries are as follows: In 1874, 1875,
1879, 1880, 1881, 1882 and 1884.
On the latter date Mr.. Stadden car
ried the terrapin to a spot near Ste

home, and turned it loose. Mr.. Stad-
