DECATUR 8; RICHMOND I.

The Weather Man has once more
shown that water polo is his favorite
sport. Saturday afternoon before
about fifty elite in the grand stand

the bleachers ne rammed into the
Decatur Richmond lawn fete with a

The worst feature of the Weather

Decatur was in the lead when the

 No, monsieur, had not forgotten; but
 I do not make any charge for the wine. '
 Ye gods, how consideratel
 My host was greatly amused at the panic into which the bill had thrown me.
 He tossed three 100-franc notes upon the
 table and a couple of gold Napoleons. One of the latter was demanded by the head waiter from the table waiter, right before our eyes.
 Weeks afterward, l met MT. Cassatt and he was sore because he had been charged 200 francs for substantially the same din-
 ner. My host was known to every res- taurant keeper in Paris, and was thought to be a fair mark for the most outrageous extortion His friends had to suffer with him.
 Every imaginable trick and device is employed for the purpose of robbing pa-
 irons of restaurants, good, bad and indif- ferent. Rarely are the additions cor rect Nearly always a large amount of small change Is brought and several francs accidentally" hide under the re- | cepted bill, that remains on the plate when the waiter takes 1t away with one s gratuity.

Restaurants of Paris.

Julius Chambers in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 How delightfully."- Henry Watterson chats about the restaurants of Parisi He is quite right in declaring that the proper way for Americans to enjoy life in Paris is to take apartments, at which they can make for themselves, or have served, cof- fee in the mornings, and take their noon breakfasts and evening dinners at restau- rants.
 What most interested me in the col onels long letter to the Courier-Journal were his statements about two cafes at which the charges are purely arbitrary. The bill of fare never has any prices marked thereon; the maitre d'hotel mere ly takes the list of served articles, as furnished to him by the waiter, casts his eye over it and writes sum in gross at the bottom That's all there is to the matter. The diner must pay, or subject himself to arrest I could tell few laughable stories about those two restau- rants but only one of them appears to be applicable at the present moment.
 A prominent American. who spends most of his time in Paris, once invited me toa dine with him at one of these places. We walked up the Boulevardssd Italiens to the building in which high handed extortion Is practiced. The tables are marble topped, with iron legs; the walls are bare and white. Hardly had we seated ourselves when A. J. Cas- satt and son of Philadelphia came in and took neighboring table. The two distin- guished Americans, my host and the great railroad president, bowed to each other. That bow cost MT. Cassatt at least $2O
 When asked to order the dinner, I made 1t simple: A thin soup, sole, with shrimp sauce; cut from a leg of lamb, with potatoes and peas; articho<e. small capon with Romaine salad; cheese and coffee My host doesn't drink at his meals, but I had bottle of 6-franc Bordeaux wine When the bill rendered, it read Two dinner, f300." Sixty dollarsi I was indignant because, even at this place. I hadn't expected the charge to exceed 100 francs-s2O. Calling the maitre d'hotel demanded the items. You have the addtionl" said the man, curtly.
 He meant that he had cast up the items in his mind. But I persisted and I have the result in a scrapbook before me: Soup 20, fish 40 lamb 60, vegetables 20, artichokes 20, salad 15, cheese 15, cof- fee 10, capon 100; total 300 francs.

THE BEooAR MAID.

By Alfred Tennyson. Her arms across her breast she laid;
 She was more fair than words can say; Bare footed came the beggar maid
 Before the king lophetua. In robe and crown the king stept down To meet and greet her on her way; 'It is no wonder" said the lords,
 "She is more beautiful than day As shines the moon in clouded skies,
 She in her poor attire was seen; One praised her ankles, some her eyes,
 One her dark hair and lovesome mien. So sweet a face, such angel grace,
 In all that land had never been; Cophetua sware a royal oath:
 This beggar maid shall be my queen"

In the EnemY,s Camp.

From the Washington Star.
 A Presbyterian clergyman was pra1s- ing the late Dr. Henry Martyr Field Of Stockbridges, who for forty-four years edited the Evangelist.
 .'Dr. Field did so much good he said, "because he went about his work diplo- matically, sensible. reasonably. l once heard him declare that reformers failed often because the moment they started a reform they dropped common sense. Common sense was swallowed up in zeal. He said that a nerve cure faddist once enntered shop and, leading the pro- pretor to one side, whispered mysterious ly:
 "'Ah, friend, friend, you can do the race untold good if you will only take the agency for our anti-tea preparation. It is warranted to cure in q week the most confirmed and nerve racked tea tip pier. Never again.

By James Whitcomb Riley. Oh. it was but<a dream I had
 While the musician played And here the sky, and here the glad Old ocean kissed the glade. And here the laughing nipples ran,
 And here the roses grew That threw a kiss to every man
 That voyaged with the crew. Our silllen sails in lazy folds
 Dropped in the breathless breeze; As OCT a field of marigolds,
 Our eyes swain OCT the seas; While here the eddies lisped and purled Around the islands rim. And up from out the underworld.
 We saw the mermen swim. And it was dawn and middle day
 And midnight-for the moon On silver rounds across the bay

EVOLUTION.

EVOLO lON. By Langdon Smith. When you were d tadpole and I wash a
 fish,
 In the Palezoic time, And side by side on the ebbing tide We sprawled through the ooze and
 slime Or skittered with many caudal flip through the depths of the Cambrian
 fen, My heart was rife with the joy of life. For l loved you even then. I fake1 a flint to a cutting edge, And shaped it with brutish craft; I broke a shank from the woodland dank, And fitted it, head and haft Then I hid me close to the reedy tarn, Where the Mammoth came to drink Through brawn and bone I drove the
 stone,
 And slew him upon the brink Loud I howled through the moonlit
 wastes,
 Loud answered our kith and kin; From west and east to the crimson feast The clan came trooping in. Der joint and gristle and padded hoof We fought and clawed and tore. And cheek by jowl, with many a growl, We talked the marvel OCT. I carved that fight on reindeer bone, With rude and hairy hand; I pictured his fall on the cavern wall That men might understand. For we lived by blood, and the right of
 might,
 Ere human laws were drawn. And the Age of Sin did not begin Till cur brutal tusks were gone. And that was a million years ago, In time that no man knows: Yet here tonight, in the mellow light, We sit at Delmonico's; Your eyes are deep as the Devon springs, Your hair is as dark as jet. Your years are few, your life is new, Your soul untried, and yet Our trail is on the Kimmeridge clay, And the scarp of the Purbeck flags, We have left our bones in the Bagshot
 stones,
 And deep in the Coraline crags Our love is old, our lives are old, And death shall come amain: Should it come today, what man may
 say 8 We shall not live again. God wrought our souls from the Trema-
 doc beds
 And furnished them wings to fly; We sowed our spawn in the worlds dim
 dawn
 And I know that it shall not die, Though cities have sprung above the
 graves
 Where the crook -boned men made war, A. the ox-wain creaks Der the buried
 caves,
 Where the mummied mammoths are. Then as we finger at luncheon here, Der many a dainty dish, Let us drink anew to the time when you Were a Tadpole and I was a Fish.

THE ROSE AND THE GAUNTLET

 By John Wilson Christopher North) low spake the knight to the peasant
 maid,
 "Oh, be not thus of my suit afraid Fly with me from this garden small And thou shall sit in my castle hall Thou shalt have pomp and wealth and
 pleasure,
 Joys beyond thy fancy's measure Here with my sword and horse I stand To bear thee away to my distant land ''Take, thou farest, this full-blown rose, A token of love that as ripely blows
 With his glove of steel he plucked the token, And it fell from his gauntlet crushed and browen.
 The maiden exclaimed, Thou seest, Sir Knight, Thy fingers of iron can only smite; And, like the rose thou hast torn and scattered,
 I in thy grasp should be wrecked and shatteredi"
 She trembled and blushed and her glances fell.
 But she turned from the knight, and said, Farewell" Not so," he cried, will lose my prize;
 I heed not thy words, but I read thine eyes"
 He lifted her up in his grasp of steel, And he mounted and spurred with fiery heel; But her cry drew forth her hoary sire, | Who snatched his bow from above the fire. l Swift from the valley the warrior fed But swifter the bolt of the crossbow sped: 1 And the weight that pressed on the fleet foot horse | Was the living man and the woman's corse. That morning the rose was bright of hue
