And there is the first butterfly flut-
ter1ng In the sun, and lodging and
racing hither and thither, and doing
not a thing but having a good time.
1t is Just a little bunch of yellow
wings beating the golden air and eel
ebrating an escape from the prison of
winter. We hope that little butterfly
is not too previous; that it has re-
ce1ved some secret information that
the spring time has come to stay: no
more frosts or SHOWS or freezing
breezes. What havoc these would
play with those yellow wings if they
would come now!
The presence of the butterfly has
excited the cherry and peach buds so
that they are really trying to get out
into the sunlight, too, and will sue
coed In a few days if the butterfly has
not allured them with false hopes.
Still, we wouldn't trust the butterfly
II we were the buds, but would nestle
In u little calyxes and wait until
the gentle Notus came up and settled
IN our midst for good.-Columbus (O.)

tious actress.
II have in my time had rare oppor-
tunfties to observe beautiful, graceful
and talented women, and I violate no
confidence in saying that you are the
queen Of them all. You unite in your
lovely person that peculiar magnet

Your genius, shining through all the
deficiencies of stagecraft, enables you
to triumph over every obstacle. So
supreme are you that you have the
right to rise above all conventionali-
ties, to marry, to love, to discard
whom you please, and no one will
dare to criticise. Your work will live,
You are the very personification of the
highest art. United with this, your
perfection of beauty gives you the
just title to a lasting fame"

Absolutely. Would you have me
say more? What more could l say?".
She sighed.
"You might" she answered, "have

THEIR VOTE STOOD TEN ITO TWO
Defendant Expresses Great Disap-

Verdict of Acquittal.

San Francisco, June 21.-Terminat-
ing in a disagreement of the jury,
with ten men determined on acquittal
and two steadfastly resolved on con-
viction, the trial of President Patrick
Calhoun of the United Railroads, end
ed. Five months and a week had
t%ranspired since the street car mag
nate, a descendant of Patrick Henry,
made his first appearance in court in
answer to the charge of offering a
bride Of $4,000 to a supervisor to OBJ
tain a privilege for his corporation.
Not until each Juror had pronounced
as hopeless the prospect of a verdict,
was the order for their liberation
made by Judge Lawlor, prosecution
and defense giving assent to the dis
charge.
The defendant and his attorneys, as
we'll as the chief officers Of the prose-
cution, refrained from comment on the
disagreement when it vas recorded
and quickly departed from the court
room.
Five ballots were taken, three of
them shortly after the jury retired.
Upon the first vote the jury stood
eight for acquittal and four for con-
viction. Two of the four joined the
majority on the second ballot and one
of the remaining two announced his
determination to remain out a month
If necessary.
The attorneys will be asked to fix a
date for another trial on the same in.

POOR HENRY IN NO DANGER.
sashful Man Unduly Alarmed Over
Simple Request, But Then It
Mas In Leap Year.

This is q belated leap-year story
that happened to get overlooked in
the holiday rush of 1908. But bette,

conductor said when his train came
in four hours behind time.
Her name was Gladys Geneyieve
Jones, and the name of the other

also reached the age Of discretion,
with a few years over for good meas.

William Henry and Gladys had long
been friends, but today, for the first

when in the presence OF the opposite

Gladys Genevieve believed in doing
things right. She had driven the GOV
and dihdent Hawkins to the nearest
village, four miles away, with all the
ct ceteras and trimmings, and now, at
last, they were on their homeward
journey. For a time they rode along
wrapped mostly in silence, and then
Gladys suddenly gave a little SILVER,
moved closer to her companions side,
looked up inquiringly into his face,
and began:
mi. Hankins, don't you think it
would be a good plan II we were to
double up"
She was Interrupted by a wild cry
OF alarm from Mr.. Hankins. The next
instant he had sprung from the sleigh
and fed swiftly into the starlit night.
Now, I wonder what on earth
startled the poor fellow that way?"
ruminated Gladys Genevieve, as she
drove slowly homeward, alone. II

eonner's Famous Advertisement.

6ohnerS rno Advertisement.
When the New York Ledger was
wavertng on the brink Of failure, Rob-
ert Bonner, the proprietor, sen to the
New York Herald a brief advertise
ment, to be set up in a single line. So
Greeleyesque was Mr.. Bonner's hand
writing that the advertising manager
interpreted the directions as order
Ing that the copy be run in full page
which instructions he obeyed, though
marveling greatly. The Herald came
out the next morning with one whole
page devoted to the crisp adjuration
to read the Ledger's new story. The
effect upon Mr.. Bonner was almost ia
tai, first from chagrin at the thought
Of the possible bill, then from amaze
ment as subscriptions began to pour
in, and finally from satisfaction, as
they continued to flood the office, un-
til the fortune of the publication was
made. The novel, though accidental,
device had struck the public's fancy.
Mr.. Bonner was hailed as the pioneer
of a new and daring theory of exploit
alton, and the advertisement gained
tenfold currency by being commented
upon as a feature of the news.-Col-
