A rising young lawyer tells this
story on himself. He was invited
recently to spend a week end at a
country house where things were
done a notch or two more deliberately
than he was accustomed to, and he
stood in not a little awe of the
solemn person who was assigned to
act as temporary valet to him. The
climax came when this functionary
tapped at his door on Sunday morn

"All right. I'll get up" said the
visitor, and the solemn man disap-
peared into the bathroom. from
which presently the noise of water
running into the bath tub was audi

solemn person emerged, holding a

The Important Question.

I love her, for she Is a beauty,
And ! am quite sure she is free;
I'm ready to do my full duty,
When one thing Is settled by me.
She plays the piano SO sweetly,
She tells me she's written a book
But there is one question I'M
answered;
she hasn't yet said she can cook,
] know she can knit and mend
patches
And sew up a rip with a jerk;
She's musical, for she sings snatches
OF songs while she's doing her
work
! know she can fashion a doille,
For n day ! happened to look:
But she hasn't done any Dragging
Regarding her skill as a cook.
Her work with a golf-stick's amaz-
ing;
At tennis she SURE is a peach;
She'll grab up a gun and go blazing
At all of the game within reach
She handles a boat like an expert;
She'll yank out a trout with a
hook;
But still on one question she's silent;
She hasn't yet said she can cook!
Her many accomplishments daze me,
She seems like a jewel so rare;
Her talk and her amaze me;
I'm sure that the girls on the
square,
She isn't a fiirt, i am certain,
No foolish attentions she'll brook;
I'd not hesitate for a second
II she would but boast she can
eookl
She's clever at driving or riding;
She understands horses all
through:
I'll certainly not be deriding
The various stunts she can do.
But II | should ask her TO marry.
One thing | would know ere !

This maiden for worse or for better:
Has she attained skill as a cook?

The Price of Success.

1ne ff1cc Oh SuCcess.
He tried his best to make his work
Shine out a bit each day;
His fellow lei flung taunts and jeers
Some tried in every way
To injure him but mockey
Served only as a goad
To make him strive the harder then
Along life's dreary road.
To him his work was as a child,
He loved 1t tenderly,
While harsh, disparaging remarks
Oft cut him cruelty,
Yet outwardly he gave 40 sign,
He knew the clouds would break,
So he toiled on, and on, and on,
In hopes for loves sweet sake.
One day the rays of sweetness
R~esplendent through the clouds
Shone out, and then his fellow men
Surrounded him in crowds;
Among the throngs that grasped his
hand,
None did more eagerly
Then those who greeted his first
work
With jeers of irony.

The Georgia Magician in MARYLAND.

The Georgia Magician I'm Maryland.
Gen. Greenville M. Dodge. presi-
dent of the Society of the Army of
Tennessee, says the Washington Post,
was talking one Memorial day In
Council Bluffs about railroading.
The best piece of railroad work I
ever heard Of" he said, was per-
formed in 1864 in Maryland. The
Confederates were in great need of
a locomotive, and their only hope was
to capture one. So a small band of
men was selected from Lees army
and placed under the command of a
tall Georgian who had been foreman
of a quarry and knew a great deal
about derricks and riggings.
well, the Georgian took his men
into Maryland; they tore up a sec
tion of the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks, tagged the first train, and
with nothing but rope, dragged a To-
connective 81 miles up hills, across
streams, through woods and swamps
till they struck a line built by the
Confederacy.
when the president of the Balti-
more & Ohio heard OF this feat he
wouldn't believe 1t. He went out and
personally inspected the route, and
he said on his return that it was the
most wonderful piece of engineering
that had ever been accomplished.
After the war he sent for the tall
Georgian and on the strength of that
one exploit made him roadmaster of
the whole Baltimore and Ohio.
ANY man. the president said,
who can pick up a locomotive with
fishing tackle and carry it over a
mountain has passed his civil service
examination with me-"
