An Autumn Sunset.

When autumn sun sets far behind
The western hill in golden rays.
When hoary frosts clothc Ger in white
The .Nerdure that in summer days
Adorned each shrub and bush and tree
with leaf and bud and blossom fair,
1t leaves darkened withered track,
It's work is done with thought and care.
The oak, the monarch of the wood,
Whose sturdy form hath winds defed:
The chestnut that hath storms wthstood,
Its burrs and cones are thrown aside,
Ana boys and girls Just out from school
With merry laugh ana fun of elee.
They gather here, they ScUrrN there
To get the nuts beneath the tree.
The meadow where the laurel grows;
The hrchcs. clothed in richest dress,
The placid lake transparent seems.
Rejecting all their loneliness.
And autumn $ here with an her train,
Resplendent in her mellow tones.
With red-chceked fruit and garnered
grain,
The gladstone time of Harvest Home.

 Well, the wedding came off as per schedule, and the Don and his bride sailed for the gay capitals of Europe The money lender got his $10,000 on the minute, but my unfortunate friend has had nothing more substantial than some polite letters from Paris and Berlin begging him to wait in patience and cease sending costly cablegrams marked collect The letters are writ ten with view of cheering the recipt ent, but he refuses to be cheered and has about come to the conclusion that it will be many day ere he gets back the cash that went for the engage ment ring and the theater tickets, to say nothing of the fee promised fof negotiating the $5,000 loan.

Money-MakIna poas.

To make one's living simply by own ing an animal does not sound a very profitable business. But there are dozens of cases in which the posses sion of an intelligent creature means money. One owner trained four dogs three spaniels and a terrier-to hunt for golf balls, and so perfectly did they work that they found upward of 300 balls during the first summer they were employed. A lady living in a London suburb owns half-breed terrier, which had also been trained to find lost balls. By selling those that are not claimed the dogs owner is able to send every year handsome donation to a charity. In Paris dog was trained by a bookmaker tO go around to betting clients, and its own CT, by the aid of his canine messen- ger, who collects the bets, made $500 a year. A well trained sporting dog particularly a retrieving spaniel-is always st nrce of income, and one owner estim ltes that his dog is worth $100 a year at least in recovering birds and fares which would be lost after they have been shot.

 Dr. Friedman asserts that when ht recovered the towel, after 1t had re mained five weeks inside Mrs. Myers 1t bore the label "St. Vincent's Hos pital."
 "A few days later" alleges Dr. Fried man, 'I met Dr. Boldt, who told ma that he had sent the towel to the New York County Medical association al a curiosity, indicating the great vital ity of the patient. Mrs. Myers told me she was going to sue Dr. Boldt, and told him of this He said he was in sured against such accidents and that he did not care, as such an accident could not hurt his reputation. He ad mitted at the time that he might have left the towel in Mrs. Myers body."- New York World.

CAGES FOR SINGING INSECTS
Tiny Houses, Constructed In Japan. for Little Bugs That Have Ten

In Japan people keep singing insecta in cages, as we do canary birds, and have them hanging about the house. They are supposed to bring good luck, In Tokyo and other cities some of the shops are devoted entirely to the sale of these bugs and their cages. The practice is beginning to show signs of becoming fad in this country. It ia doubtful, however, if the American will take the same interest in such diminutive pets as does the Japanese.

A Girl Balks at Marrying an Old Man

Wilson With them were Mrs. Lulu Decatur, niece of Garrison, and Goodwin Mellow, a young man from Stafford county. MT. Given told Mir. Wilson of the occurrence, and there upon the quartet went under a very careful examination
 Myrtle declared over and over again she was only fourteen years old, al though she could easily pass for sev- eraI years older, as she is mature look, ing and weighs probably 160 pounds.
 When it came the turn to question Myrtle she was so worked up over her escape from the marriage ceremony that she was in tears. She said that she had planned a sightseeing trip to Washington with Mrs. Decatur and had no idea that Garrison would ac company them. They left their homes near Quantico early in the morning, walked three miles to a railroad sta, tion and took a train for Alexandria.
 Myrtle said that Garrison suddenly decided he was going to marry her as the train pulled into Alexandria, but she explained to MT. Wilson and MT. Given that she had no idea of doing anything of the kind.
 She added also that Garrison was g widower three times over, his last wife dying few weeks ago.

SEEMED A FOOLISH QUESTION
5efuddIed Bridegroom Resented In quIry That at the Moment Seemed

One of the most widely known mem bers of the Red Ink set got married some time ago, says the New York cor respondent of the Cincinnati Times Star. It was no new experience for him In fact, he'd taken the hurdle two or three times before-each time falling at the water jump. To be ex- plicit about it, he's a perfectly fine little poet, as long as he is clutched to the cart. But when he begins to dabble with Old Man Red Eye, he be- comes matrimonially and socially inn possible. On the occasion of this lat est marriage, he had been sober for quite a long while, a phenomenon due in part to the fact that he had been stone broke for an even longer while. And he had bound himself never, never to listen to a bubble.

But the day of the mar riage he needed little braeer. Know. ing his failing, his friends would not give him any money. Neither would his bride-to-be, although she is sim ply laced with it. Our poor poet went around with his tongue cracking and warping in his mouth-drier than the covered bridge of holy writ Sud denly it was discovered that the mar riage license had not been procured.
