A Good Manager.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
Homer s. Taylor, president of the
National Archery association, said at
an archers' dinner in Chicago:
IAN archer must be very skillful and
calm Ind cool to succeed. Ee must
handle his bow as Mrs. Poarck, OF
Michigan avenue, handles her husband.
mi. Poarck came home very late the
other night from an important polit-
ical gathering. In the hall he kicked
up rather a row. growing inc swearing
to himself until his wife called to him
from upstairs:
whats the matter, my dear?'
"Matter-hic-is,' Mr.. Poarck shout
ed, that there's two hat racks here and
I dunno which n to hang my hat
on
but you've got two hats, haven't

Hang one on each rack and come up to
bed. You're tired"

Whore the Water Goes.

The water produced by the melting
of glacier ice in summer flows down
through crevasses to the bottom of the
glacier, and, forming q channel by
erosion, energies often as a large
stream. In the arctic regions these
phenomena take place on a very large
scale. The Danish expedition to the
northeast coast of Greenland, conduct
ed by Myths and Erickson, discovered
and explored vast caverns thus formed
by glacial streams. Some Of these
caves are so to 10 feet In height and
more Than a mile long. In winter the
streams cease flowing. but the caverns
or tunnels remain ready to receive the
streams Of the next summer.

CHAPTER XXI.
THE KEY.

Colonel John rose and walked un-
steadily to the window. He rested a
hand on either jamb and looked
through 1t, peering to right and left
with wistful eyes. He detected no one,
nothing, no change, no movement, and,
with a groan, he Strengthened himself.
But he still continued to look out, gag
ing at the pitiless blue sky In which the
sun was still high.
Presently he grew weary and went
back to his chair. He sat down with
his elbows on his knees and his head
between his hands. Again his ears had
deceived him. How many more times
would he start to his feet, fancying he

Won came 70 me so long-so very long ago.
You came and stood beside me In the strife:
You led me from the gloom-the ways used
And put my feet in brighted paths Of life.
You came to me when all the hope Of life had
fled,
Today look upon thy features, cold ana dead
Although the years are many since tnat night
understand II now-God sent your soul to me
To live on earth-an angel in disguise.
To save me from a death of gloom and misery
To point my erring spirit to the skies
You came and found me when the iron grasp Of
death
Had wrapped me in his deadly coil Of pain;
And warned me-even with your dying breath
The man that dies shall surely live again"
And so I wonder-aye, ponder here tonight,
Alone and lonesome in this old retreat,
As whether thy angelic spirit took its flight
Or hovers near this spot to guide my feet.
I know that Won are far beyond this vale OF
Tears.
And walk among fragrant blooms in fields of
light;
Beyond the gloom of earth, the rapid lapse of
years
stili guiding all my footsteps day and night.

TO be.
I'll meet you by the opal gates of night
And through the countless years Of all eternity
Wen wander in those splendid fields OF light.
