WILLIE LEE.
His nnmo was Willlo Leo, liut no ono
thougbt of calling him "SVilllo except liia
Bister. Willio was poor nnd liouicly.
Ilia hair was what might bo called u
bluo white, his eyes wcro palo and with-
out expression, and ho was altogether a
very plain person. Ho nnd his sister
Mary had a llttlo houso in tho outskirts
of tho city near the car barns, Ilia closo
proximity to tho barns doubtless was
what led him to think ho would becorao
car conductor. At any rate, ho did
become one, anil Mary, as sho used to
bo weeding in her llttlo garden' beside
tho stroet, would look up nnd sep him
pass and say to hcrsolf :
"Now, don't ho just look flno with
thoso bluo clothes and brass buttons?''
His sister's eyes could not bco that tho
navy bluo of tho clothes painfully
brouglit out tho sickly pallor of his face
and niado his sleepy eyes dimmer. To
her ho was handsome and tho uniform
mado him handsomer. Mary was partial
to uniforms. Thero was a policeman in
that suburb for wliom sho had tho great
est regard, and in the ovening when she
would go out to watch for Willie s car
going by on its last trip tho policeman
seu to como and hang over tho gato and
sho would tell him what a good boy Wil
lie was.
Tho men at tho barns did not know
much about Willie. Ho novcr mot at
their gatherings in tho ofllco and stables
nd sung and danced nnd joked as 'the
others did. Half of them did not know
his name, but tho timo keeper said his
car was always on timo nnd tho nickels
turned oror wero always right in
number.
Willie's passengers did not liko him
either. They said ho opened and loft
open tho door in winter and shut it in
tho heat of Bummer. Ho mado them Bit
closo on tho seals, and gravest offonso of
all ho would mako tho rncngoinsidothe
car when., thero was room instead of
tending on tho rear platform in a crowd.
All this served to mako him unpopular,
still ho never violated a rule of tho com
pany, and tho keenest "spotter" could
never havo reported him for a single mis
demeanor. Willlo did not liko girls. Ho used to
say to Mary, "Girls aro a nuisance I
wouldn t let ono of them get on my car
I could help It." Thero was no use
trying to get up a flirtation with Willie,
was adamant. A neighbor, rosy
cheeked Rachel Mooro, had loved Willie
over since they wcro children and played
in tho dust of tho road beforo tho city
had moved down to them. Willio liked
Rachel, too, after a fashion, very much
as ho loved Mary, but ho novcr thought
marrying her or any ono else. Mary
used to say to him, "Willie, suppose I
should die, what would you do for .
housckeeperr" Mary didn't think ol
dying, sho was thinking of tho police
man, and Willio would answer, "Don't
talk about such absurd things, Mary."
That was all tho satisfaction sho over re
ceived. Yet it was through a girl that Willio's
lifo was changed. How these women do
chance- our lives, sotno in ono way and
fcotno in another! Willio was supersti
tious. Ho said ho was unlucky overy
timo ho ran on car No. 118. A man
had shot. himself in it onco, and another
had fallen off the front platform and bro
ken his leg, and Willio was always hav
ing trouble when ho was on it.
Ono February day car 113 started from
tho barn at its usual hour with Willie
Leo as conductor. Everything went on
well all day and Willio was flattering
himself that ho was going to escape ill
luck for onco, but sho lurks around us
when we aro least conscious of her pres
ence. It was nearly night and a rain set
in, a rain that froze to everything and
mado tho track very slippery. A young
lady who often went down on Willio s
car asked to bo left off at the avenue nnd
Willio rang tho bell.
She stepped oft, but as fato would
havo it another car was coming from
tlio opposite direction, tno trade was
slippery, n now driver was managing
tho brako, and instead of stopping, as is
tho usual etiquctto in bucIi n case, tho
car came on. Willio standing on tho
step took in tho situation at a glance,
and though ho wits always slow ho made
this tho exception. Ho jumped from the
car and almost throw the girl from tho
track just in timo to savo her, but he
slipped and fell and was ground under
tho horses feot nnd tho cruel wheels.
Then the enr stopped and tho passen
gers crowded out and around him.
"Is lie dead, OI Is ho dead: " cried tho
girl whom ho had saved, and bIio knelt
down besido him, took off his cap nnd
bruslicu tno uarap hair back from his
forehead.
No, ho is not dead," said a policeman,
Mary's policeman, who happened for
onco to bo whoro ho was needed. "Ho
lives just below here. Wo will carry
him to tho houso." Thoy picked him up
ana carried iiun gently Into tho little
cottage. Mary was overcome with
fright and would havo fainted had not
'Teddio been thero to assuro her that
Willio was all right, "only hurt a bit."
Tho next day tho young lady whom
Willio had saved caino down in her car
riago to sea how ho was. Sho swept in
through Mary s llttlo kitchen liko
queen, and Rachel, who was sitting on
tho step of tho back door, looked at her
in amazement; at the long sealskin cloak
and tho diamonds in her ears. "My,
ain t sho grandr sho said to herself.
wonder If Willio know her before?
wonder if ho would havo jumped right
in front of two great big liorees and n
car if 1 had been in her place?" Jealous
little ltachell Uf couno ho would havo
dono it just tho same had tho person been
the lowest of tho lowly.
Day after day Helen Carpenter caino
to inquire after "the bravo fellow," as
bIio called him, and when ho began to
get better sho brought him flowers and
hot houso fruit and all sorts of things
that lib could not eat, and would not
have dared to luxl ho wanted them. Sho
brought him books, too, and read to him
by tho hour stuff that ho did not hear.
Uo did not caro for books, but ho liked
to look at her as sho sat by his side read
insr. Ho liked to hear tho tono of her
voico and smell the.perfumo of tho vio
lets sho alwavs woro, nnd after a while
her daily visit was what ho lived for and
looked forward tp. When it grew
warmer ho becan to sit up by tho win-
dow in nn easy chair she had sent from
her own homo, and sho would como and
sit on a stool at his feet and talk with
him about herself and her daily lifo until
sho mado him her abject slavo and he
loved her with a lovo that only such
people liavo who have never loved before.
Sho was tho light of his lifo and ho
fomot that ho .was uoor.and namely.
thing that ho had never forgdtten bef riro, i
that sho was as high nbovo him as tho
Jieavcns aro nbovo tho earth. When ho
held her llttlo jowclcd hand in his, as
sho sometimes allowed him to do, ho
would havo been willing to havo died
for her a thousand times over.
Rachel was entirely forgotten. Sho
would como in sometimes to see him, but
ho would always bo Blecpy or watching
for Helen and would not talk to her.
Ono day Mary Raw her eyes filled with
tears, and sho put hor arm around hor.
Don t cry, Rachel: ho will seo tho light
by and by," sho said, and Rachel broko
down and Bobbed, "I used to think he
cared for mo, but ho don't now."
Ono day Mary said to him, "Willio, I
don't think you treat Rachel just right,"
hut ho never heard her. Willio was a
long timo getting well. Another man
had taken his car, but tho superintendent
said ho was at liberty to go back any
time when ho was ablo. Tho policeman,
too, was in n hurry for Willio to get
ell. Mary had promised lum that tho
friendship begun last yonrover tho onion ,
beds should tprmlnato in n happy wed
ding, nnd ho had been scanning intently
tho houso hunters' directory for n sult
nblo placo to put his brido just ns soon
as sho would consent to becomo his.
Ono day Willio made up his mind to
tell Helen when sho camo again just
how much ho loved her, and when sho
camo In nnd sat down nt ills lect and
looked at him with her great liquid dark
eyes, full of tender solicitude, and asked
him how ho wns, ho took her hand and
ttempted to speak, but could not.
'You aro weak yet, aron t you, Mr.
Lee? How nngry you ought to bo with
mo for having been tho causo of nil your
trouble. But you'll hurry -up and get
well by Easter, won't you?" And she
childishly laid her check against tho
hand ,sho held. "Do you know, I am
going to bo married on Easter Monday,
and If want you to cpmo to my wedding."
"Go to her weddingl Go to her wed
ding!" Ho said it ovor to himself, then
tho room grow dark and everything
seemed uncertain, and ho fainted.
"It is warm and ho is still bo weak,
and I supposo I talked him to death,"
sho said to Mary, who .camo in answer
to her alarmed calling.
Mary was quick wlttcd nnd sho know
pretty nearly what had happened, nnd
sho told "Tcddie" nil about it that ovon-
ing nnd said sho loved "Willio, of course;
but sho thought ho had treated Rachel
badly, and may no this would bo a les
son to him.
For several days Willio was too weak
to Bit up again in tho easy chair. Ho
seemed helpless and unconcerned as to
whether ho got well or not. Helen had
not been to Geo him since the night ho
fainted. She was busy with her wed-'
ding preparations and just stopped at
the cate ono day to ask If he was better
and wondered if Mary thought ho could
como to her wedding.
"No, I do not think ho can go," Mary
said, and sho said it coldly, and Helen
did not come again. ,
It was the day of Helen s wedding.
Willlo heard the carriages roll past on
the pavement and ho turned his faco to
tho wall and tho-tearswrmo intohisoyes,
that had been strangers to tears for
years. Rachel had brought inn bouquet
of Easter flowers und placed them on his
table. Thero wcro violets among thomj
everything to remind him of her. Just
in the dusk of evening Raqhel herself
came in. Sho paused n moment at tho
door to seo 'if ho was asleep, and as his
eyes wero closed sho concluded that he
was. Sho sat down on tho low stool
and as her faco was partially turned
away from him Willio opened his eyes
and looked at her slyly.
Ho never thought Rachel prelty be
fore. In fact, ho had never thought
much about her, but now as she sat be
tween him and tho fading light ho noted
tho roundness of her cheek, her white
throat, and tho pretty curls of brown
hair around her faco and neck.
I wonder if sho would do just as
Helen did had bIio been in her place," he
said to hiinself. "Would she havo come
here and mado mo lovo her and then
havo cruelly told mo sho was going to be
married? Yes, I suppose sho would- wo
men aro all alike, coquettes, every, one
ot tnom."
Rachel was thinking over her lifo, and
by Boino strange, unexploinablo mes
meric sympathy Willie's mind went back
over the past too. What a friend she
had always been to htm and Mary, nnd
how bravely she had fought her own
battlo of lifo thus far. "She is a noble
little woman," ho said lo himself, "and
I wish I was worthy of her." Then tho
clock struck, and Rachel started up. She
drew a half sighing breath, paused a
moment, then stoojied over him and
lightly touched his lips with hers. Be
foro ho wns nwuro what he was doing he
had passed his arm around her neck and
pressed her head to his breast. "Do you
then lovo ine, Iittlu ltachel?
They say lovo is eloquent by whomever
6poken, and Willio was certainly elo
quent. Tho love that was shut up in his
heart all turned and told Itself seemingly
without his aid to Rachel, and when
Mary camo in she found Jhcni sitting
hand in hand, a new rwect light in their
laces.
When tho Juno rowa blossom there
will be a double wedding in the little cot-
tago and "Teddie" und Willio will both
bo happy, Willlo lias gono back to his
car. llo says ho likes tho road and likes
tho work, and blesses tho day that good
fortune came to mm through misfortune,

A Coffin Peddler.
A now occupation is followed by a man
named Boxem Brown, who travels
around Now Mexico, peddling coffins.
In a wagon drawn by mules ho carries
about twenty cheap coffins of assorted
sizes. Ho goes through tho country after
tho fashion of other peddlers, calling at
each houso, and asking in a matter of
fact way if anything in his lino is wanted,
It is not often that ho Bells a coffin for
immediate use, but when a family con
tains nn elderly person, or nn invalid, or

For days they darkened on the flcld;
Now, whero tho wIurs of winter beat,

And pitiless griefs came thick and fast
Life's bough was naked In the blast

A QUIET PICNIC.
I reached Bibbsviiio on a Friday oven-
ing, and had hardly entered tho oueer
old placo whon I learned that thero was
to bo a picnio out at "tho falls ' tho next
day. Everybody was ns much excited
as on tho ovo of a Fourth of July, and
tno - colored pooplo could hardly hold
thomselvcs down. Tlio Widow Baker,
at whoso houso I found lodgings, had
been cooking for the last thre days, and
it was with a fitting Bcnsoof dignity that
sho informed mo of the fact that bIio was
tho committee boss on Tittles to eat."
During tho ovening a number of men
dropped in, and after a bit tho commit
tee on arrangements got together to per-
tect somo details.
"Now, then, you Jim," eaid tho chair
man, as ho finished making somo notes
on a picco of paper, "you aro to watch
tho JUabcocks tho olo man and his two
boys. They'll como fixed fur fight, and.
at tho fust sign of a row you'll whistlo
tlio commltteo together nnd pilo on to
cm."
"IC'rcct, Mr. Simmons," nnswercd Jim,
who was tho village blacksmith.
"And you, Tom you aro to watch tho
Harpers tho thr'eo boys. -Tho olo man
is sick and won't bo ycro. Thorn boys is
on tho shuto, you know, and hov got to
bo squelched right on tho go off."
"i kin lick tho hull passlo of 'em. Mr.
Simmons," confidently replied Tom, who
Kept ono ol the general stores.
And you, Henry you kinder keen
walking around and hov yer oyo out fur
overybody. If you seo ary man draw his
gun, jump right on to him. Wo can't
hev the glorious festivities of this festivi
ous occasion knocked eandwiso by any
onory conduct."
When I asked under what auspices tho
picnio was to bo given, ono of tho com
mittee replied:
, "Avail, the threo or four kinds of ro-
ligun around yero hov sort o' chipped in
togother, nnd I'm bound thar'll bo n right
smart of sinners besides."
At an early hour next forenoon I re
paired to tlio grounds, two or three miles
away, and found a good many people be-
toro mo. Every sort of vehlclo in uso In
tho south had been pressed into service,
and overy sort of people nnd costume
wero to bo seen. It was to bo n day off
for old and young, and overybody looked
as if ho meant to enjoy it. Tho place
was wild and romantic, tho weather de
lightful, and tho jubileo songs of tho
darkles echoed up and down tho gorge
Tho first cloud aroso just after the crowd
had reached tho ground. Tho chairman
of tho committeo on order como to me
looking very anxious nnd asked:
"Which 'un do you ubldo by?"
"What do you meanf""
"Which" jeligun Methodist or Bap
tist?"
I rather lean to tho Presbyterian.
Why?"
"Because ono of tho Baptists yero is
taking advantage of tho occasion to try
and convart the olo man Parker. I say it
don t belong. 'Tnin't tho time sot apart.
If he goes in then some of our Methodists
will feol to go in, too, and tho whole
thing will flop over to n camp meeting,
I want you to meot up with him and toll
him he's oil tho bridgo."
Fortunately for all, the old man Parker
announced in n loud voico that he'd whip
tho man who talked religion to him on a
week day, and tho occasion didn't flop
over, as predicted. I soon found tho
Babcoeks,. father and two boiis. They
wero plain, honest looking folks, with
nothing of tho ruffian or desperado in
looks or actions, nnd wo had been talk
ing for n quarter of an hour beforo any
thing was let slip. Then ono of the lioys
announced:
"Say, pop, olo Jackson is yero."
"He ar eh? How's ho conducting"
"Oh, sorter."
"Well, if he'un wants to bo healthy
ho'll walk soft. I don't want to kick up
no row around yero, 'causa it's a festo-
nious occashun, but he'un musn't pre
sume."
"And Jerry Baker is yero, too, nop,"
added tno boy.
How sasserfrous. fur tho likes of
Jorry to show up yero! How's ho on-
ductin i
"Fairish."
"Well, don't you shute onlcss he draws
fust. It s ufestemous occashun, nnd dead
folks lying around takes off the edge of
a pusson s appetlto."
"And Tom Straker is over thar', pop,"
continued tho son.
"Does he'un daro show up yero ns big
as lire? How's ho conductor? -
"Tolerable."
"Then tell Jack to go slow. Jack wants
a pop at him, and it's his bounden duty
to hov it, but ho needn't be so awful
hurryiah about it. If thar's any row yoro
mo oie woman win bo sartin to cotcli a
bullet, and then wo'll hev her to wait on
all the fall. Am I right, stranger?"
"You are!"
" 'Tain't tho occashun fur BhootinV
"No."
"That's what I say. Let's enjoy our
selves as much as possible doorin' the
day, and then do our shoe-tin' nn' kilhn
on tho way home."
By and by I found tho threo Harper
boys smoking their pipes under a tree,
and ono of them put a rovolver out of
sight as I camo up.
"Yes, it's a flno day," said Henry, tho
oldest, "and I hope ther' won't bo no
misbehaving."
"Why should there be?"
"Well, that nr' Ben Johnson has
showed up an ar' steppin' too high fur a
teller of his brecdin', I've bin wantin'
pop.at him fur somo time, an1 if ho comes
rubbin' around I can't say as I'm goin
to hold back."
"An thar a III IJowman out thar a-
blowin's as to how fur ho kin jump," ad
ded the second brother. "I owo him ono
fur shootln' at mo from behind a bush
las' 6ummcr, an' if he glta too peart
they'll hov to carry him homo in a cart."
"Oh, shetl" growled tho younger
brother in disgust. " You'uns is alius fur
iillin. What's tho use? Hain't other
folks cot rights? Do wo own this yero
airth? If anybody orter feel sorter it's
we. nain't that young Davis chlnnin'
my gal out thar? Hadn't I orter go right
out an' begin to pop at him? But I don't
doit 'Causo why? 'Causo wo hov got
to havo manners. If I kin meet up with
ho un to-morrer lie 8 got to beg my par
don or go under, but I hain't gwlno to
befool myself aforo all these.
"Henry," tho ono wliahad been dele
gated to watch everybody and bo ready
to jump, found a young man loading n
rovolver just beforo noon, nnd ho walked
up to him nnd said:
Ben Calvert, you hand that yero over
lo mo chuck n quick!"
" 'Causo why?"
" 'Causo it might go off by accident,
and if it did it would bo my bounded
duty to riddlo you."
"I'll abide," said Bon, as ho passed it
over, "but-I want it when camp breaks
up. That youngest Taylor boy is 'iing
a heap o' brnggin', an' mebbo I'll hov to
drop ho'un down a peg after tho nicetiu'
is out."
Tho day passed off without tlio slight
est trouble, und thoso who anticipated
any nt the breaking up wcro disappointed.
Lvcrybody seemed content and happy,
and when wo got back to town tho old
man Harper shook hands and confiden
tially observed:
"Say, stranger, wasn t it beau-tlful?
Jist think of it not n singlo pusson
killed! Tlio last ono wo had up thero
turned out two cart loads of killed and
wounded, nnd it wasn't n big crowd,

Adaptation to fVitnts. ,
Much has been said about tho adapta
tions in naturo to tho wants-of mankind.
Another point of view shows tho samo
facts ns ovldeuco that man has adapted
himself to varying conditions of life.
An oxcoption to what is looked upon
as n general law is found In tho distribu
tion of fish. It is observed that in tho
warm waters of tho Nile, for instance,
fish of many kinds abound, but they are
all of poor quality. Tlio samo could bo
said of tho fish in all warm waters.
Vory few varieties aro fit for tho table.
Now it happens to bo tho caso that in
hot climates tho lighter nrticles of food
aro most in request. Tho system docs
not need in tho tropics the meats which
aro so largely consumed in tho colder
region. Tho sending of fish from Nor
way to tho countries about tho Mediter
ranean is ono of tho oldest branches of
trade in tho history of bommercb.
Where tlio fish was of good quality
tho population was scanty, and, on tho
other hand, whero tho population was
numerous tho lisli was poor. Is it not a
reasonablo Inference that both man and
fish havo sought tho portions of tho globe
whero tho conditions of lifo wero most
favorable to them respectively? Youth's

A Joko on tho minister.
Ministers, as a rule, aro as fond ot
a good joko as other people, no matter
whether they aro tho joker or tlio victim.
Ono evening when Mrs. "Van Cott was
holding revival meetings in St. Paul, a
party of ministers, including Rov. Dr.
Dewart, of tho Bates avenuo church,
wero present, nnd, in rcsponso to n ro-
quest by Mrs. Van Cott, gavo "experience
tallis." lho Hates avenuo minister was
tho only ono who failed to respond, and
was mado tho subject of remarks from
the pulpit, tho lady not knowing that
Dr. Dewart was also a minister. Finally
sho camo down from tho pulpit and,
standing directly over him, said: "Young
man, unless you repent of your Bins and
walk In tho narrow path, your soul will
bo forever lost." Seeing that sho was
laboring under a misapprehension, the
roverend gentleman good naturcdly lis
tened to tho exhortations, whilo his min
isterial brethren wero almost forced to
laugh outright. Noticing tlio broad
smiles, Mrs. Van Cott suspected tho
truth and returned to tho pulpit. After
tlio services a good laugh was indulged

Troublo with tlio Griimmurluus.
A writer in Tho Christian World sends
up this littlo rocket to shed light upon
tho confusion existing in tho minds of
many very well educated people in re
gard to tlio uso of tho two Words "sit"
and "set" a confusion similar to that
which seems to attend upon tho choice
of saying "will" or "shall:"
'A man, or woman cither, can sot a
hen, although they cannot sit her: neither
can thoy sot on her, although tho old
hen might sit on them by tho hour if
they would allow. A man cannot set on
the wash bench, but ho could. 6et tho
basin on it, and neither tho basin nor tho
grammarians would object. Ho could
sit on tho dog's tail if tlio dog wero will
ing, or ho might set his foot on it. But
if ho should Bet on tho aforesaid tail, or
sit his foot thero, tho grammarians ns
well as tho dog would howl. And yet,
strange ns it may seem, tho man might
set tho tail asido nnd then sit down, nnd
neither bo assailed by tho dog nor tho
grammarians."
Tho Cmbrelbu
Sattara assumed tho titlo of Ch'hatra-
pntl, or lord of tho umbrella, and it is
by no means Impossiblo that tho word
satrapes, used by Herodotus for Persian
governors of Asiatic provinces, origin
atod in this way. Examples of timbrel
las havo been found on tho monuments
of Egypt as well as on thoso of Persopo
11s; their construction differs littlo from
thoso now in use, and they aro almost
invariably associated with persons of ox-
altcd rank, it is not too much to say
that throughout tlio east tho umbrella
was overywhero regarded as tho emblem
of dominion nnd sovereignty. This was
doubtless duo to its closo association with
various solemn religious festivals and
observances, notably thoso connected
with tho worship of Bacchus; and this
connection points to a direct relationship
with tho mysteries of sun nnd nature
worship. Gentleman s Magazine.

Herbert Spencer says: "Wildness is

when it comes to riding a vicious bronco
that has been in the cattlo business
eleven years, and saddling a zebra who
never before looked into tho faco of man,
a fellow might just as well shut his eyes
and sky a copper for his choice. A
vicious dog isn't much worse than a wild
