"One visitor wrote in the album
many years ago:
"'Quoth the raven
"The landlady did not understand
that quotation. She was not as well
up in her Poe as she should have
been. And ever since that time she
has shown the cryptic line to every
guest, entreating him to tell her if he
can, its meaning
But the guests are always too po-
Hte to tell her. They pretend they
do not know. And hence, year after
year. to every visitor that comes, the
poor landlady with her album gives
herself away"

(Harpers' Weekly

There is a good story going the

formerly a stock broker, who dropped
many thousands in speculation during
the early spring.
One nigh ! shortly after going to bed,
the Pittsburger was awakened by
strange signs. At his first motion to
jump up he was greeted with hoarse
voice. IF you stir. you're a dead
mani" it said. I'm looking for mon

the erstwhile Spectator, kindly allow

Years ago there lived in Somerville,

young eight-year-old hopeful, Watty,
was addicted to the habit of purloin-
ing sugar from a closet Remon-
STRANGE by father and mother proved
of no avail, and though Watty protest
ed his innocence, the old lady said
she would watch for, catch and chas-
tise him.
Rev. DR.. Gloss, then presiding elder
Of the conference district, in passing
through the section, halted at Mr.
Burgess to spend the night. He was
assigned to room adjoining the
closet which was the scene of younT
Watty's depredations.
At dawn on the following morning
the reverend gentleman arose and re-
paired to his closet to attend to his
mornings devotion, and, unfortunate
ly for him, knelt near the usual posi-
ton of the sugar dish. At this mo-
ment Mrs. Burge had occasion to
visit the closet. and, quietly opening
door, discovered what she supposed

Can Women Be Friends?

Can women be friends? Sacrifices
for the sake of love of man and off.
spring are recorded without number
but female Davids and Damons are
not readily discovered in either his
tory or legend. Professors of platonic
affection continue to evoke jeers of
incredulity, and the traditional disin-
genuousness of dearest friends" still
plays well its part in caricature. The
changeableness of woman's nature
has become automatic. Can 1t be that,
throughout the ages even to these en-
Hghtened days, it has retained con-
slstency in this respect alone7 1t suf-

BELTS MADE OF MEDALS.
Trophies of Athletic Skill of Young
Woman's Fiancee.

Probably the most remarkable belt
worn by any woman in New York is
one consisting of 16 gold medals, each
Of which represents first prize in al
athletic contest won by the wearer's
fance, the two medals forming the
clasp standing for national champion
ships. The making of this belt was
formidable task for the jeweler who
got it up, owing to the fact that the
fastening together of the 16 medals
had to be done with unusual care,
since the liberal use of enamel made
the business of brazing on the gold
eyelets for the connecting links Ia
Dorious process. The young woman
who wore the belt was of the opinion
that she had the only thing of the
kind in the country until she went
to a set of games at Trayers island
within a week and discovered that an
other medal-winner in the New York
Athletic club had a similar adornment
made for his fiancee.

Women of Great Bravery.

Women are not, as a class, either
moral or physical towards. In per-
sonal bravery they far excel the ma
jority of men when faced by an emer-
gency. Some of their achievements
are worthy of record among the he
roic deeds of the race. Lady Baker,
an English woman, was such an alb
solute stranger to fear that she would
walk alone into the tents of the most
ruthless slave dealer and calmly lead
off his captives from under his very
eyes, and Mrs. Marion Mulhall, who
risked death dozen times and tri-
umphed over the strongest man in the
dark wild country that lies between
the Amazon and the Andes, is a wom-
an of such frail and delicate appear
ance that one might think a March
wind would blow her away.

shot by his son. Frau Joseph Moritz,
senior, who died in her 47th year.
She was shot by her daughter. Eliza

hand in her 18th year, after shooting
