He Agreed With the Asp.

A gentleman who had been uncere-

fell on the second act brought an acS

the said house. 49,
The court decided in favor of the
Kissing gentleman, adding that IL a
spectator is allowed to show his deIght
by indulging in applause his neighDor
has also the right TO show dlsappfo-
baton in an audible fashion.
But the law of France was not al
WAYS so tolerant In the middle Of the
seventeenth century it was strictly for
bidden to hiss in q playhouse; ana IN
every theatre there were number Oh
"Gardes Franchises" with strict orders
to arrest any person infringing the law.
But the French are not easily put
down by silly regulations, and when
ever they see an opportunity they at
tack the authorities with that fearful
weapon-ridicuIe In this case such
an opportunity came at the Coincide
Francaise during the performance OF
Cleopatra" =" a play by MarmOnteL
1t was a badly written, dull work
and the people were waiting for q
chance to give vent to their opinion
At last the chance came. The manage
ment had ordered a mechanical asp for
the great scene in the final act, when
Cleopatra puts an end to her life.
The actress raised the asp, which
started kissing. whereupon d spectator
rose to his feet and cried: THE asp Is
quite right. We all share his opinion
Roars of laughter greeted this joke,
and as it was fOTeseen that similar
scene would take place every night the
piece was withdrawn from the roper
tory-The Gentlewoman.

Mr.. Short returned to Denver on We'd
nesday afternoon about all nOur before

end. Rev. Father Walsh, a lifelong
friend of the deceased, prepared her for

The Sea.

(By Ella A. Mowry- -ThCmpson)
I stood on the shore of a boundless sea,
And the waves rolled .up at my feet,
With foam, and music, and sun-lit
spray,
With a ceaseless, endless beat
Wave after wave on the sandy beach,
Uprose and sank, each following each.
And the day grew old, but the waves
still rolled,
And broke on the pebbly shore;
Nor the cities din, nor the raging wind,
Could silence its mystic roar;
But ever and ever those waves at sea.
Moan out through the night their min
strelsy.
Day followeth day; and the ages bring
Us death, and change. and decay.
And the waves of strife from the sea
of life
Drive our barque far out from the
bay;
And we drift and rock on this un-
known sea.
Though the winds and waves moan
piteously.
o, boundless sea! With your sun-lit
waves,
o, Sea of Lifei With your care!
How light are your songs, as 1 float
along
Where the tides and waves may bear!
But the Hand that holdeth the water
at sea,
Will temper the Waves of Life for me.

Painters and the Madonna.

babe-and have failed. Raphael. to
whom God gave the spirit of beauty in
a measure in which he never gave it,
perhaps, to any other man, tried again
and again, for years, painting over
and over that simple subject-the
mother and her babe-and could not
satisfy himself. Each of his pictures
is most beautiful-each in a different
way; and yet none of them is perfect.
There is more beauty in that simple
everyday sight than he or any man
could express by his pencil and his

What You Do.

1t is not so much what you say you
are going to do; it is what you do that
counts. A certain bright boy laid great
plans as to what he was going to do in
school one term; how ne was going to
come out at the head of his class, and
all that. While he was talking about
it, another fellow who was just as
bright. but not so talkative, was study
ing and doing all the necessary work to
win the coveted laurels. When he came
out ahead, the taIkative one felt bad
about it; but he was bright enough to
see the point, and profit by his mistake
another term.

Carving Money.

1t Is interesting to note the various
methods in which men of different ma
tionalities carry their worldly wealth.
The Englishman carries gold, silver
and copper all loose in his trousers
pocket, pulls out handful of the mix
ture in an opulent way and selects the
coin he needs.
The American carries his wad OF
bills in long, narrow pocketbook,
in which the greenbacks lie flat. The
Frenchman makes use of leather
purse with no distinguishing charac-
teristics. The German uses one gaily
embroidered in silks by the fair hands
of some Lottchen.
The half-civilized capitalist from
some torrid South American city car
ries his dollars in a belt with cunning
ly devised pockets to BATTLE the gentle
man with the light fingers. The Ital-
ian of the poorer classes ties up his
little fortune in a gayly colored hand
kerchief secured with many knots
which he secretes in some mysterious
manner about his clothes.
a similar course has charms for the
Spaniards. while the lower class Rus
sian exhibits preference for his boots
or the lining of his clothes as a hiding
place for his savings.
