AS TWILIGHT FALLS.

As twilight falls and everything
 Prepares to take a peaceful rest; Then, love. my thoughts will 1y to thees To dwell with one love the best Within the haven of thy heart
 Most blissful rest I hope to find, , And though the world around me What care I if thou still art kinda As twilight falls and night comes on, No darkness will o'ercloud my soul,r And I shall rest contentedly
 In thy fond heart. my long-sought Thou Ger shalt be my souls true My beck. SsckSnins star. so clear and That lights the pathway of my life To ever teach me what Is right We will not mind, though twilight For lovers eyes, though shut. o.. And thoggR ho,9s5 black darkness may Sur- My heart will find it's way to thee. No barriers can intervene
 Through which love will not find the
 way,
 For it hath e'er an inner light
 To pierce the dark to find tho day. And when life's twilight softly falls Upon our faithful hearts, at last, To bid our freed souls upward soar, When earthly days too soon are pastg Then may we go, with hand in hand. To our dear Fathers home above, To dwell forever side by side,
 In an eternal, blissfu1 love.

LINCOLN PARK.
Vaudeville at Rustic Theater.


 The man or woman with a taste for vaudeville who isn't suited by the bill this week at Lincoln park is a hard person to entertain. There are five acts, and every one is worth seeing several times. The roller skating sketch of Hawley and Bachen starts. in with some foolish bumps and tum- bles by the man on rollers, but before. the performance Is over he dances a hornpipe and gets in some difficult and pretty steps. Clara Mae Ham ulell the soprano, is comedy young woman, who sings sweetly and is a decided park favorite. AL H. Burton, the. solemn looking chap who togs out in a black Prince Albert rig, is a cap- ital story teller, with a few good local hits and several catchy songs. Duffy's Finish. brings the loudest and longest laughs. Leonard and Whitney are es- pecially clever in their portrayal of the woman suddenly come into money and the desire for high-toned society, and the husband who doesn't take kindly to the society end of it. The Vynos the bright musical pair who walk out into the barnyard and pro- ceed to get sweet music out of every thing in sight, including fence, pump,
 milk pail and brindle COW, furnish a unique and delightful closing act When they throw off their farm togs just before the final curtain and make their bow in Highlanders costume, with bagpipes in hand, the crowd votes the Vyno family all right for clothes as well as music.

BREED THEATER.
Fighting Bob, Thrilling United States
 Navy Picture.

What was pronounced to be one of the best motion pictures seen here in a long time was shown at the Breed the ater last evening, under the title of Fighting Bob, and proved to be pie ture of great surprises, as scenes being laid in Mxico were very novel, and the clever traps laid by the willy Mexicans were almost successful, the jolly tars from the heutenant's cruiser, lying in the barbor, being on the spot, and the young lieutenant is allowed to depart with his bride after a strenuous strug- gle with her obstinate parent
 Peraps the clearest picture seen here this season iis entitled The Cricket on the Hearth, beautiful photographic portrayal of Dickens famous story other excellent ones being How Jones Paid His. Debts, Panther Hunting on the Island If Java, Mrs. Faust. an ab- surd reversal of the story of Faust, and Alphonse Gets in Wrong.
 Much pleasure was given the audi ence by Mir. William Scott, the popular tenor, who rendered in his usual fine manner Evening Rest" (RotolD, ne- cessitating an encore.
 MT. A. H. Ouseley, who for several seasons was the first tenor of theN big quartette travelling with Primrose's Minstrels sang for the patrons the old time favorite Silver Threads Among the Gold" which proved very pleasing.

. A New Kind of Postal Card.

The advertising manager of big business house in this city has invent ed postcard which he's been patented in this country and all over Europe, and will probably be widely used for advertising and souvenir purposes. It consists of an ordinary postcard with a round hole in the middle about the size of quarter and a collapsible fig ure of rice paper pasted on the back This figure may be any shape desired and may be printed with the likeness of historic buildings or other things it is desired to reproduce. A puff of the breath through the hole fills out the rice paper figure, which assumes the wanted shape, and stays that way until again folded. It is an interest ing novelty, and particularly well adapted to bear. figures of buildings of historic brother interest. The collap- sible card will also be made in the form of bank, with a slot for coins. The inventor happened on this idea while building cardboard figures for his little aughter.-Philadelp Rec ord.

wb.re Meredith Got His Money.

When probate of George Meredith's will was granted people were surprised to find that he had left an estate val ued at f32,359, of which the net per sonality was sworn at f 32,1S5. His work had been unrecognized at home for so long that G10,000 or 9l5.00o was the most at which his probable for tune had been estimated.
 It must not be thought that the for tune he actually left was the result of his own work It was due to legacies hat fell to him fairly late in life. The biggest was from an uncle to whom Meredith's father was in debt when he died As soon as he had scraped the money together Meredith sent his un- cle a check, which was never present. ed, and later became the legacy.
 The fortunes left by four of Mere ditl's contemporaries in literature were: Algernon Charles Swinburne, f24,2s2; Robert Browning, E1S,T5; Lord Tenneyson, R57,206; William Morris, 55,069.

NEW AERoPLANE
Being Built in Washington by Bridge
 port Man.

A new aeroplane of the monyplane type and embodying several novel fea- lures is being built in Washington by John H. .Smidley of Bridgeport. The inventor intends to bid for the con- struction of a machine if the signal corps proposes new specifications.
 The monoplane is thirty-two feet across from tip to tip of it's wings. It has maximum depth from front to rear of five feet and weighs only 250 pounds with an IS horse power motor installed.
 One of its unique features is the position of the propeller, which is placed in the exact center of the ma- chine. A new method is used, con- sisting of two planes in front of the machine, working at different angles and controlling both the lateral and vertical movements of the aeroplane The lifting surfaces of the macbine are curved and the machine is staunchly constructed of bamboo and a light canvas impregnated with a rubber solution. Smidley has made gliding experiments and expects the monoplane 10 develop great speed

she got hum the first night of the

wintery night Helena stole softly from
her room and in less than an hour
was the bride Of Harry Rivers. Il

said young Rivers, "but we must wait
awhile" One morning she woke and
on the table near her found letter.
Forgive me, darling, that leave you
SO abruptly, shall come back again;
enclosed find $500, enough for your
present need. Farewell, H. Rivers"
But, alas, days glided into weeks,
weeks into months. Hope died away
and when the days grew bright in the
warm spring sun and the first robin
note was heard at the farm house

broad river whose waters move ever
