trips after stray lambs At D. m. they ate dinner there and then with a dollar clutched in their fist they started for Jake Ralston's emporium at Capioma, where each bought 5 cents worth of candy and as the sun went down they started on their return home. Two miles this side of the store they were met by the car- riage sent by their parents at the nominal cost of s4. When the parents dug them out of the robes and blankets in the bot tom of the carriage they were fast asleep, but each still had his 95 cents in change and proudly displayed their hire."-Sa- betla Tribune.

From Watson's "The Story of france.
 There were no written records of the race among the Gauls the story of the clan, the tales of it's adventures, the great deeds of the heroic dead, the mem- ory of the past, with sits glories and its sorrows, it's inspiration and its lessons, all rested in the rhymed legend handed down orally from bard to bard through countless generations.
 It was the bard who sang at the rude festival, who chanted the praise of the chief in his hall, who walled the funeral dirge, who told in melody, and with rhyme, the deeds of the brave and the virtues of the fair
 It was the bard. wandering about with his timbal or his harp. who was the It, erature of the simple-minded Gaul. The vencration paid him by these ignorant -ndeveloped people awakes within us the same feelings which moves us when we see the few poor flowers which the wife of the peasant has planted at the door of her leaky hut. We recognize the inborn craving of the human heart for the beautiful and the elevating.

REFLECTIONS OF Al pACHELoR

From the New York Press.
 A pompous man seems to have the best time of all
 Anybody can make love to girl when she's managing the game.
 One little happiness makes up to lov- ing woman for a world of pain.
 The only agreeable economy is saving for while to indulge in an extrava- gance.
 A man will try to bag million dollars thunder it and know he was right just the same he will try to catch trout, lose it and admit he was darned fool.

, chairs, and, because~I was just behind them, he suddenly removed me from my seat and left me standing under all the eyes, solitary in the aisle of the cen- ter hall, whilst he sat down. I do not
 think I was frightened of the eyes, but I know I was terribly frightened of that great brown, aquiline face, with the piercing glance and the mirthless, dis tant, inscrutable smile. And immediate ly just beside me there began what appsared tpsbe g. gentle. and curty wresrz ting fnatch..fA gentleman ofXthe royal suite approached the master. He refused to move. The prince approached the master he sat indomitably still. Then the princess came. and, taking him by the hand, drew him almost by force out of my stall. For it was my stall after all. And when he was once upon his feet she suddenly sat down in it herself, and with sudden touch of good feeling she took me by the hand-the small soli-
 tary boy with the golden curls and the red stockngs-and sat me upon her lap.
 I, alas! have no tracefof the date on which sat in a Queens lap. For it was all so very long ago, the King is dead the master is long since dead, the hall itself, the glamorous and romantic home Of the Pops of one's youth, is pulled down
 and has utterly disappeared. Yet there in those days very great deal of music was made.
 As I went down the steps of the hall, intent on taking cab-the company flow ing out were astonished, and I dare say touched, to observe that three four-wheei-. cab men, in their overcoats with all the little capes, had climbed upon to lamp posts and were shouting:
 Three cheers for the Abbe Liszt' For the enthusiasm that Liszt created was incredible. What was the Abbe Liszt to a camban? Yet there the cabmen were. and all Piccadilly was blocked up be- cause Liszt was coming down the steps of St. James Hall.

N u R DER TRIAL
NOT CONCLUDED
But Acquittal Is Expected To-

Evidence in the trial OF Oscar T.
Hines, druggist, for the killing of
Charles Matthew Conway in front of
his store on December "a, having been
only partially given up TO o'clock
last night, adjournment of the Hust-
ings Court was had to 10 o'clock this
morning, and il is likely that the case
will so to the jury early in the after
noon The prisoner was bailed in the
sum of $1,000. and left the court
room unescorted, save for the pres
cnce of his children and several rela-
uves who had accompanied him
Though II is not usually the case
in murder trial. the members of the
jury were allowed to so to their
homes, with the usual instructions
about reading the papers and talking
to others concerning the case They
were allowed to do SO on an agree
ment reached between the prisoner
and the Commemorative Attorney, no
objection from either side being raised
Friends of the accused take this as
m indication of the outcome of .nc
'rial, and acquittal is generally ex-
Itcted.
Much evidence damaging to the
reputation of the dead man was intro
duced to show that he was regarded
as dangerous character when under
the influence Of intoNicants. 1t WAS
