Why He Did Not Marry.

AS reason for not marrying
Brahms once wrote to friend:
AT the time when 1 should have
wished to marry, my compositions
were either Kissed at or at any rate
very coolly received. 1 knew their
worth. though, and that sooner or
later the page would be turned; and
in unmarried solitude 1 never really
took my reverses to heart.
But to be questioned by a wife al
such moments, to have her inquiring
eyes anxiously fixed upon me, to hear
her ask: Again a fiasco?'
No, that l could never have borne.
For, however much she loved me and
believed in me, l could not have ex.
pected her to have unwavering- faith
in my subsequent victory. And had
she attempted to console me! Ughl
l can't even think of it. 1t would
have been little less than purgatory!"

Curious Marriage Customs.

Wedding customs in Servia, that
little kingdom of Europe, are curious,
indeed, from an American standpoint.
For instance, neither the bride nor
the bridegroom is the most import.
ant figure In a Servian wedding, but
the best man takes the leading part
He carefully guards the bride all the
day before the wedding takes place,
and sleeps outside her chamber the
night before the girl is to be mar
ried He wears a big, stiff sash,
made OF heavy silk, carries a big
white staff and huge boquet all for
himself
There are no bridesmaids, but two
godfathers. each OF whom presents
to the bride a silk dress. After the
priest has performed the ceremony
the best man takes the bride around
the church, and she kisses all her girl
friends good-by and is finally carried
Off to the bridegroom, who at last
gets his wife from the hands Of the
best man.
Then the happy couple return to
their intended home. Bridal tours
are foreign to Servian ideas and only
the very rich or the nobility indulge
In them.

the same person was afterward seen
to hand a small packet to a fnysteri.

The person In question was-Lady
Masterton!"
Sir Nevil started from his chair
But 1 reminded him of his promise
and he sat down, again glarinp
llercely.
Tho mysterious looking man in
the shrubbery was a ne'er do well
brother of Lady Masterton's who is
leaving for Australia in a few DAYS
to make fresh start in life."
Here Lady Masterton was on the
point of interrupting.
Appearances are all pointed to the
fact that the packet handed by LADY
Masterton to her brother contained
the missing pendant"
Miss Priscilla looked discreetly tri-
umphant.
But" added. appearances were
entirely misleading. The purpose
that took Lady Masterton to Miss
Pauline's bedroom was to get a book
she had lent her the day before, and
the packet she handed to her brother
was a sum of money she had ar
ranged to give him, with her hus-
bands knowledge and consent"
Sir. Nevil sprang from his chair
once more. Look here, Carter"
he said. Fortunately, you have re-
moved my desire to punch your
head! But what the deuce has all
this got to do with Pauline's dia-
monds?"
ASK Miss Priscilla" I said, quiet
ly.
What on earth do you mean?'i
he inquired, blankly.
The pendant is locked up in the
top left hand drawer of her ward
robe" 1 answered. "And if you ask
her, she will go and fetch it,"
rs this true?" demanded Sir New
il, fiercely.
Yes" she answered meekly, as
she went to the door. And in a few
minutes she came back carrying the
diamond ornament wrapped up I'm a
piece of tissue paper.
Poor Aunt Prissys fearful expla-
nation of how she took the pendant,
in sudden jealousy, to bring disgrace
upon her new sister-in-law, who, she
considered, was robbing her beloved
niece of her proper rights, was ex-
tremely pathetic; but Sir NeviPs
chief thought was naturally for his
wife.
Can you ever forgive her, dear
est?" he asked, tenderly, taking her
hand in his.
Forgive her! OF course I cant"
answered Lacy Masterton. "She did
1t only because she was so devoted
to her niece. And 1 hope that, when
she knows me better, she will per.
haps become equally fond of her Sis
ter-in-law!"
And Sir Neyil always declares that

When the road was scarce in sight,
When the woods seemed thicbly peopled
When the seconds dragged like years,
Did you whistle through the darkness,

Sending down your back the chills;

Chased each other here and there:
Did you whistle through the darkness.

impetuous Irishman, whose senses,

Jim O'Connor will put the whole In
jun army to rout."
AS he would not listen to denial.
the old gun was finally placed at
O'Connor's disposal. 1t took four
times as much powder as the more
modern pieces. O'Connor, having
rammed in the quadruple charge,
noisily clambered up the ladder and
thrust the blunderbuss through the
portfolio. Then he pulled the trigger
and cried confidently, ITS dead ye
are intirely!"
He was sure he had done great ex-
ecution, although he had heard no
report, n circumstance he accounted
for by the uproar going on all round.
He descended the ladder and demand
ed another charge. Four times in
succession he descended for ammuni-
ton, and each time he put into the
gun the full amount of powder and
lead which 1t required. In the belief
that he had already dealt death to
the savages with each shot, he pulled
the trigger for the fifth time.
"Hurray!" he shouted. This will
finish the row"
This time the gun went off. A
streak of fire that seemed a yard
long to Jim's astonished eyes flashed
from the muzzle with a report that
shook the stout buildings and dead
ened every other sound. O'Connor,
kicked back with the recoil. went
rolling down eight feet to the ground
floor. The ancient blunderbuss had
been discharged for the first time,
and all the heavy five loads had gone
off at once.
Well" said O'Connor, as he
picked himself up, Il gave it to thin,
but she gave me a tremendous
pouncei"
In truth, "Grandmammy's pocket
piece" in O'Connor's laundering
hands helped the pioneers win the
battle. The Indians stood in awe OF
the white mans big guns" and
when they heard what they believed
was the report of a cannon the sound
unneFved them to such a degree that
they relaxed their efforts and acted
with hesitancy which the pioneers
were quick to see and profit by.

FARMER TORN BY A HAWK.

After desperate battle, in which
he narrowly escaped losing his eve
sight, Jacob G. Smith, an old farmer
whose home is in North Babylon, sue
ceeded in killing a large and hunger
crazed hawk which chased his chick
ems into the hen coop and then fol-
lowed them in to feast upon them at
leisure. Time and again the feath-
cred marauder flew at the eyes OF
Smith, who had hurried to save his
pets and closed the door after him
to prevent the hawk flying out and
escaping. 1t was only by covering
his face and eyes with his arms, and
letting the beak and talons of the in
furiated bird sink into his forearms
and hands that the doughty old farm
er saved his sight and killed tho
hawk. 1t was measured to-day. The
stretch of its wings from tip to tip
was three feet. It's beak and talons
were long and almost as hard as
steel.
For several weeks Smith had been
missing chickens. He knew a hawk
or fox was at work on his flock.
Diligent watch failed to reveal the
thief. Fortunately Smith was near
the chicken house when the hawk an
peared. With graceful swoop it de.
scended toward the yard, and the
fowls fled cackling into their house.
With an ordinary hawk that would
have settled the situation and they
would have been safe. But this old
campaigner had decided to have a
chicken for dinner. Instead of flying
away over the fields it alighted near
the henhouse and then hoped i'm af.
ter the chickens. That was too much
for Smith, and he hoped in after the
hawk
Smith just had closed the door be.
hind him and fastened IL when he
heard savage scream and q wbir of
wings lie did not have time tc
grasp the angry bird, which was hurI.
ing itself straight in his face. All
he could do was to throw up his arms
and save his eyes from being gouged
out Then he felt the talons of tho
bird sink into his arms and hands
and the beak beat against his hat
Realizing It had been fOiled I'm reach
ing its objective the hawk flew to the
other end Of tho henhousc and
watched for another opening. It was
confused for a few seconds by the
wild huttering and cackling of the
chickens. which were running and
hying in all directions. Then it ut
tered IT'S battle cry anew and made
another lunge at Smith.
That time the farmer was rcadv.
He realized ne must sacrifice his
hands to save his eyes. lie succeed

reached him, shifted ono OF his hands

wrist and thon threw the hawk away
from him lie had broken IT'S neck.
Prone among the chickens upon
which 10 had expected to feast. tho
pirate of the air gave "a few Hutters
and died. With lacerated and bleed.
ing hands Smith picked the bird up
and carried 1t out TO show his family
and the neighbors.- New York Press.
