ager. Nolan is a shrewd business
man and is absolutely on the
square. When he gives his word,
you can depend on it. Talk about
hard training. The mental strain
which Nolan went through when
Britt and met the last time, was
harder than all the work that | did
preparing for the battle. When we
were kicking against Jeffries as
referee, thousands Of people were
yelling at us. When Coffroth told
Nolan that unless got in the ring
within two minutes he would take
my $4,000 forfeit money, Nolan
coolly replied: "All right, you have
already spent $4,000 in getting up
this fight and unless the battel
goes on you will lose that amount.
II you can stand to lose $4,000,
can stand to drop s25O0." That
kind OF talk won the day and we
got our demands.

A SONG sparrow,s Gratitude.

1t is a rare occurrence for animals
in a wild state to select man for a
companion and friend, yet we'll
authenticated instances when this
has been done are a matter of record.
The following incident is vouched for
by a young lady who is a close and
accurate observer:
Last week my brother, a lad of
II, killed a snake which was just in
the act of robbing a song sparrow's
nest. Ever since then the male
sparrow has shown his gratitude to
George in a truly wonderful manner.
When he goes into the garden the
sparrow will fly to him, sometimes
alighting on his head, at other times
on his shoulder, all the while pouring
out a tumultuous song of praise and
gratitude 1t will accompany him
about the garden, never leaving him
until he reaches the garden gate.
George, as you know, is quiet boy
who loves animals, and this may &C
count in a degree for the sparrow's
extraordinary actions. Courier

FOR MOLLY.

Oh, Molly with the dark gray eyes
The light that meath their lashes lies
Shall cost very world of signs
To hapless lovers!
And laughter, too, has set its trace
In dimples in your winsome face,
While an unguessed at, Turing grace
About you hovers
The little tendrils of your hair
Have woven round your brow a snare
l would that I might say "Bewareu"
To those who linger;
| would there were much less Of harm
And less of statuaried charm
To curve along your perfect arm
And rosy finger!
Your lips are redder far, l know,
Than roses when the south winds
blow,
A redbird's wing against the snow
I think is duller;
And in your cheek is something rare
That even painters might despair,
So much of youth comes shyly there,
10 seize It's cOlOri
Your voice doth match you as the sea
Doth match the sky, and comes to me
Like water in miner key
Ger pebbles slipping,
Or as the sound of measured note
By moonlight when some passing boat
Sends liquid murmurings afoat
From oars dipping.
Through the lace mantle round you
thrown
Your bosom's rise and fall is shown,
Sweet purity of ivory zone
Half-seen half-hidden-
Half-hidden lest the thoughtless vain
Too curious, with eye profane,
A vermeil blush your throat to stain
Might send unbidden.
On, Molly with the dark gray eyes,
Deep-brimming, tender, glad and wise,
However change the tickle skies
That are above you,
Though days be long and worlds are
wide,
Though fate turns harsh and seas
divide,
There's one will follow at your side
And live to love you!

Told of Harrington.

When Booth Harrington was at
Princeton university, the editor of the
college paper was a young fellow who
took himself and his literary RESPONSE
bilittes with portentous seriousness.
He was wont to speak in accents OF
emphatic scorn Of the quality Of the
submitted contributions from which
he was supposed to make a periodical
worthy of the senior class. One day
he found in his letter box a poem
which moved him to more than usual
disgust. "See here" he snorted con-
tempuously, "this is what some fool
freshman sends in and calls poetry.
How am 1 going tomake a magazine
out of stuff like this? How am l.

THE MODERN RARRER-sHoP.
Town and Country


The modern barber-shop shows
marked evolution. There have been
established in New York branches of
a certain Massachusetts concern
which has been maintaining shops i'll
Boston and the larger towns. One
OF these places is not a thousand miles
away from the Grand Central station
and many Of the patrons come from
the Hub and towns of the East. 1t
looks much more like an operating
room in hospital than the old-time
gilded, mirrored and plushed-chaired
barber-shop. The walls are tiled and
glazed and the corners of the room
are rounded. The floor is of stone and
the chairs, although comfortable, are
covered with material which allows
frequent busting and publication from
any possible trace Of the dreaded mi
crobe, or bacillus. 1t is needless to say
that the BARRIERS themselves are clean
and that even the bootblacks are COM
PEELED to take frequent scrubs and
have their uniforms daily inspected
In this shop there are all kinds Of
mysterious instruments, the propelling
power Of which seems to be electric
ity, and man is massaged, shampoo
ed and generally put into shape by
machinery. The barber is still there,
however, mechanical shaving appar-
atus not having been as yet invented
Into this "tonsorial parlor" an unwill-
ing lad of 8 was led by his mother
the other day. One of the first trag-
edies of childhood was to happen.
His long curls were to be cut off.
When he Was placed in the operating
chair and surrounded by the various
implements-the tubes, wrinkle eras-
ers and pneumatic massagers-he
gave one terrified glance around and
lifted up his voice in a dismal howl.
Nothing could console or calm him.
Instinct seemed to tell him that he
was in the hands of the high chief
executioner.
