AUF WIEDERSEHEN

The little gate was reached at last. Half hid in lilacs down the lane; She pushed it wide. and, as she passed, A wistful look she backward cast, And said, "Auf wiedersehen!" With hand on latch. a vision white Fingered reluctant, and again Half doubting if she did alright, Soft as the dews that fell that night, And said, "Auf wiedersehen!" The lamps clear gleam fits up the
 stair,
 I finger in delicious pain; An, in that chamber, whose rich air To breathe in thought scarcely dare, Thinks she, "Auf wiedersehen!" Iris thirteen years; once more I press The turf that silences the lane; I hear the rustic of her dress, I smell the lilacs. and-ah. yes, hear, "Auf wiedersehen!" Sweet piece of bashful maiden art! The English words had seemed too
 fain, But these-they drew us heart to heart, Yet hold us tenderly apart;
 And said, "Auf wiedersehen!"

ANCIENT AND MODERN FAKES.

Among our oldest readers there must be living some who remember the publication of the great moon hoax in the first half of the nine teenth century. This was published in a New York newspaper and created no little excitement It purported to be a scientific report of observations on the moon by eminent astronomers from the vantage point of the Cape of Good Hope. It narrated that by means of a new powerful instrument it had been discovered that the moon was inhabited and that circumstan- tial detail was more minute than that of the Cook polar exploration story. It was a tale to deceive only the credulous, but it was long before the people of the back districts lost faith in the fraud.
 The next most important hoax was that of the Cardiff Giant. which had the country greatly excited forty years ago and in which many men of scientific pretentions believed for a long time. It was a cleverly con- cocted swindle. A stone mason rough ly hewed out a figure resembling a giant in sitting posture-the block of stone broke so he couldn't make a full length figure. This he shipped secretly to his brother, living in cen tral New York. It was buried at night in the yard and some weeks later the honest farmer began to dig a well. and most opportunely came upon the figure. The farmer made a lot of money, but in the meantime it was shown that the figure could not be that of a petrified man, could not have belonged to that section of the country from a geological point of view, and in time the author Of the hoax exposed it. But there were many people who still held to the belief that it was genuine petrifica- tion of man, while Barnum seized the opportunity to make a fortune out of rival giant hastily concocted
 The point in calling up these mem ories is to call attention to the fact that people are easily humbugged. while they are apt to receive the truth with caution or incredulity. The same class of persons who believed Stanley faker believed in the frauds mentioned The evident moral is for man to keep his head cool when great discoveries are announced and await the proof. We all hate to be disillusionized or to lose our self respect. Nothing makes a man feel sillier than to waste his emotions on a fraud. It produces psychological results of the most painful character Don't be cynic or a misanthrope or a pessimist. but look at matters sane ly and without prejudice A beautiful sentiment, more easily expressed than followed.-Philadelph Inquirer.

The director of the census reports that he has had work getting men to accept jobs as enumerators. It seems that there are few men who are tempted by the pay-$6O for two to four weeks work. Nevertheless, it is to be hoped that competent enumera- tors will be found. Here in Arizona. at any rate. the people are pretty deeply interested in having an accu- rate census. The census of ten years ago was slipshod and inefficient.

Col. Jack Chinn of Kentucky, fa- nous as a gun fighter, proposes to celebrate his entry into the ranks of Kentucky's legislators by offering a bill which provides that all gun toters" shall be sent to an asylum for the insane. This expression of the valiant colOners views is gratifying evidence that he has reformed. and of his desire to work a general refor- nation among his fellow-c citizens. It matters little how the gun toter'' is suppressed, if the work is done ef- fectively.
