The Girl Behind The Pie.

The man behind the cannon and the girl behind
the man.
Have been sung in fabled story ever since the
world began
From the days of Trojan Helen, leader of a
grizzled herd,
10 the time of maggie Moorphy, mascot of de
bloomin' Third"
Round the world have sped the stories of the
brave who do or die,
But we've never heard an anthem on the Girl
behind the pie.
There she stands, with cups of Coffee slabs of
pastry, chunks OF cake,
1emptlngIy arrayed around her with dyspepsia
IN their wake
And she eyes the deadly sinkers with most
bewitching eye
AS stream Of willing victims sorrowfully wan
der by;
Filled or filling, starved or foundered. go thev
on their varied ways
And tor her who works the pie pump they have
naught but ready praise.
Call her Llz or plain Eliza Elizabeth mayhap,
= Since the chance is ten to nothing that she does
not care rap
Call her madame" she will snicker; call her
"honey" she will frown;
But you're safe to call her anything so you
don't call her down;
''Slnkers up-draw onew she murmurs; All! the
magic OF her voice
is a wicked death to sorrow, and bidding to
rejoice
You may keep your tabled wonders in the long,
immoral line
But IN take the little pie girl as the heroine, in
mine!
Ay; I'll take the little pie girl in her modest
suit of drab,
As she cuts brand new custard, when ask her
! /, for slab!
Laud your man behind the cannon and his girl
up to the sky,
But I'm writing this here anthem to the Girl be-
hind the pie!

~NvNNNO~nCN~~H~ :
Bride And Critics.
She Was Happy and Wished to
Hear What Folk Said of Her.

:, my wife has had her curiosity appeased in way
that will satisfy her for time" said the newly
married man as he smiled according to the Detroit
Free Press. ''lt was my idea to make our wedding
trip quiet possible and do away as much as we
could with the annoyance that usually attends wedd.
ing couples But the lady said that she was proud of
being bride and that she wanted to hear the COM
ments that the people would make. With this end in
view she hit upon the crazy notion of playing deaf and
dumb and going through lot of monkey shines with
our fingers to carry out the scheme. She reasoned
that this would cause people to talk in our presence
and thus we would be able to hear what they said
opposed the idiotic idea from the start but what
said cut no figure and had to consent to the plan.
Our first chance to try the scheme occurred in rail-
way station, where we were waiting for train. Nv
wife commenced her pantOmine and had to carry it
out, feeling like fool while was doing it, She
wobbled her fingers and wobbled mine and we soon
had everyone staring at us. There were two women
seated back of us and the comments she desired so
much to hear soon came.
. It's newly married couple, said one. The poor
things are deaf and dumb. Isn't it awful?
" What do you suppose he saw in her% asked the
other She is positively homely'
" And believe her hair is bleached' said the first
woman.
And her hat is out of date was the next startler
" Looks like an old one made over, was the reply.
80 Her dress wrinkles in .he back, said the first
She's 80 if she's day, and she looks as if she had
frghtful temper put in one of them.
Right there my wife found her tongue and her re-
marks to those two women left no doubt about her
having that important article that women are supposed
to eYesciseso freely"

THE COLORADO DESERT.
How Sound Carries and the Way MI
RACES Come and Go.

TAX about wireless telephone'
The Colorado desert goes science
one betteF-in that line. Accor ling
to travellers in that neck of sand
and sagebrush, you can dispense
with any kind of telephone, with OF
without wires, at least up to GER
tain distance.
Two men a mile apart can carry
on a conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly If there
happens to be small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall Kessler III
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
iog silence is so intense that it
might be called deafening.
Perhaps, after all, the weirdest
among many strange features of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early in the evening with the ther-
mometer registering not far below
Il hundred mark. We awake,
sht ering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength.
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad,
pale rays creep up and out high
above in they sky. These again
lowly fade as a point Of brilliant
hight appears at their base. This
point grows to a half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
In surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores tof this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, sheets of wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
Of the lake separate from their
hases and float upward, topple over
ard stand on their heads, their un-
wicldy feet IN air.
Soon our lake begins to contaet
and collec1 pto big round bali Of
dazzling bfilliance hung just above
the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such an
unseemly attitude the broad
light of day, quickly fesume their
normal position, while all the stark
landscape stiffens into unstirrine en-
durance of the garish light and
blazing heat of the desert sun. The
mirage is gone like a bubble. Only
the gray desert remains.

THE VOICE IN THE DARK.


Some years after the civil war q
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at a
banquet given by the board of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett in Lippincott's.
The presiding officer WAS Colonel
]. j. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking Of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause of its startling horrors, but
because of peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-the obey
ing, as it were, of higher COM
mand than that of earth.
SThe ro'~t Of attack had been
carr ed" said Colonel
Phi waited dark night
had rived. = my command was
to :ar pacral Pickett should
sigixi thc :.
"Therc =, as that dread, indescrib-
abe st. IS, that weird, ominous
sicnoo. ~ always settles over
everything Defore a fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken BY the sound of deep,
full voice rolling over the black
void like the tillows of a great sea,
directly in line with our guns. It
was singing the old hymn, Jesus,
Lover of Ny Soul
T have heard that grand old
music many times in circumstances
which intensified its impressive
ness, but never had it seemed so
solemn as when it broke the still
ness in which we waited for the or
der to fire. Just as it was given
there rang through the night the
words:
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow OF thy wing.
Ready! Aim! Fire to the
left, boysp I said.
''The guns were shifted, the. vol
Icy that blazed out swerved aside,
and that defenselsss head vac .scov;
ered with the shadow Of lis wings'
A Federal veteran who had been
listening looked up suddenly and
said:
II remember that night, colonel,
and that midnight attack which
carried off so many of my comrades.
I was the singer"
There was a second of silence.
Then "Jesus, Lover of My Soul"
rang across that banquet board as
on that black night in 1864 it had
rung across the lines at Bermuda
Hundred.

An interesting feature of teleg-
