full of jubilant vet anxious collegians |

thronged with pretty girls, who were j
scarcely less ardent in their partisan- j

Everybody looked cheerful and happy, j
though there was a perceptible current '
of nervousness as each thought of the j
great race the uext day on which so j
many hUli hopes were centered.
Big Hob Jennings, th stalwart stroke ;
of the crew from the northwestern
state, was an exception to the general ;
rule. liis face wore a look of deepest
gloom. From appearances Rob bad no
reason to complain 01 fate, for it would
have been 1 nrd to find a prettier girl !

Cyntiiia sat before the flickering tire
light in the libra:j after Dick had
gone, gazing ruefully at the ringless
third finger of her left hand, which
might have been diamond bedecked if
she only could have—but, no, she
couldn't. She liked Hick. He was
generous, good looking and danced so
well. If he were only not so tame!
She had known, of course, that ulti
mately his attentions would culminate
in a proposal, hut she didn't think it
would come so prematurely.
It was so like Dick to call at such :
an absurdly early hour anil blurt it j
r . t out without any preface and then ;
to leave immediately without replying I
to her kind little offer of friendship. :
Dick had no line-so. Still, she wasn't
sure that she liked a man with too j
much—like her L'ncle Ilenry. for in
stance.
As if in obedience to her thoughts
there entered the room at this moment
L T uncle. IP nry Oriushy, a bachelor
clubman of some thirty and odd years. ■
"What, Cynthiu! And no Dick?" j
"Dick has come and gone."
"Dick usually comes and stays."
"1 know it," she sightd; "but, you
see, lie came once too ofti n."
"And that is why he did not stay?" i
"Yes. and it's just as well. Dicks are
sometimes tiresome."
"Not this Dick. He's quite a favorite
with your sex."
"Dick is?" she asked, with elevated
brows. "Ob, the like him be
cause be is agreeable, but none of them
Is very enthusiasiic over him!"
"That." replied her uncle, "is be
causi they are used to him and have
grown up in the same town with him.
Then you know this is such an old
fashioned place all paired off in
steadies Dick has been yours for so
long that none of your girl friends
wott' ' .lii'ik of showing or receiving at
tentat 112 oiii liiie; but t Dick be a
man in a new place and he would
be the lio:i of the town."
"He's such a stay at home: he'll
never go anywhere," said Cynthia
petulantly.
"I tl ink he'll have togo soon, be
cause the junior partner of tbe firm

Dick is connected with Is quite a
friend of mine, and he told me only this
evening that Dick was a very promis
ing young busSr-ss feilow, nnd be seri
ously contemplated sending him out on
un important deal for the firm."
Thereupon 1 nclc Henry took bis de
parture, having his young niece to her ;
meditations.
The next morning her heart fluttered
for the lirst time at the sight of a note ;
In Dick's ehirography. She read:
Dear Cynthia- I find I have to leave
very unexpei ttdly for Denver on a buat
nes:; triji. I'tense accept nr. npoloßleH for
n; h«yty upecch anil <l. j»:irture hist ni»,'!it
I fi-ar I am not a g ""I loser, lieiieve me
alwavs, as you v.l.ih—l. your friend.
I>ICK.
Again were Cynthia's feelings min
gled and conflicting. He bad followed
her wishes and become her friend, but
the note was most unsatisfactory. He
had given her no Denver address nor
any idea of the length of his absence.
However possibly she might be able to
draw that information from licr uncle
without his suspecting.
She telephoned him the following day
and asked him to call that evening.
Ho complied with her request as to
the call, but seemed in an uncommuni
cative mood.
"By the way." she finally said, "I had
a note from Dick. He was just off for
I ion ver."
"Yes; we will all miss him at the
rlub."
"I suppose ho will not be away long.
I think in' mentioned the date of his re-
I turn, but I don't recall it."
"Why did he?" exclaimed her uncle
In sunrise. "Courtney told me his
length of absence was very uncertain.
1 gave Dick a letter to the Darnleys,
; friends of mine. Ellen Darnley is quite
j n society leader. I wrote her person
j ally."
l'ncle Henry proceeded to expatiate
on Ellen Darnley's charms until Cyn
; thia d 'fided mentally that all men
I were bores As he was leaving he vol-
I nntecred the Information that Kllen
j D irnley was to be married in a couple
of weeks. Then, seeing the little leap
of reMef In Cynthia's countenance, be
In a day or two her uncle dropped la
•'I had a letter Di< k today," he
annou:.- <d. "He was very modest an'
rally - id how kind my friends were
In introducing and entertaining him.
i But I received a letter from Ellen
! Darnley lauding bin to the skies and
I saying that had - e bei n h art whole
and fancy free she didn't know what
might have happened."
lie left Cynthia a pn y to jealousy,
remor«e and regret. She wrote Dick
| that night telling him how glad she
was to hear he was having so gay a
1 time and how lie must dread tbe
i thought of a return home.
His reply was friendly and gave de
| tails of the good times he was having.
I "Tomorrow night," he conclutbil, "is
; Mi-is Darnley's wedding, at which I
; otlP-hue as one of tbe ushers. Tbe
bridesmaid whom I am to fall In line
, with after the ceremony has eyes like
' that picture of Evangeline you are so
fond of. I wish you could see her."
Cynthia threw the letter In the tire.
The next time Henry Orm by called
he brought a paper from his pocket.
"1 want to read you about Ellen's
wedding." he said. "Dick is given spe
elal mention as a cultured young man
from tbe east."
"1 am sick of the sound of Ellen |
Darn ley's nam :iii<l Dick's. too!" cried
< 'yntlila. forgetting I'ncle Henry's
shrewdness.
"1 know." lie said sympathetically, ]
"it is a bur.- to hear of people you have i
never met." Au<l he discreetly turned
the conversation into other channels. I
Two da\s later Kick was shown into
the library where Cynthia "as sitting
before the fire as he h id seen her last.
Her cheeks Unshed at his sudden ap
pearance.
"Why," she exclaimed, "did you ex
pect to return so soon?"
"No," lie replied. "They telegraphed
me last night."
lie forebore to say to whom "they"
referred, hut Cynthia naturally inferred
that it was the tinn. I-ater that even
ing I tick met I'ncle Henry at the club. (
"Say. Ortnsby," lie said joyously, "It's
all right." 112
"Why. my dear boy, when you are ns j
! old as I you will know that nothing ,
| succeeds like success. 1 told you I'u \
j fix' it." t
"Yott got Courtney to send me to j
j Denver." j
"And the letters and Ellen Darnley'P ,
j wedtJing did the rest. I saw the fruit
j was ripe, and 1 telegraphed you tc (
I come and pluck if." 1
An Effective Prescription. 1
I'ncle Kastus had never enjoyed a j
medical education or spent much time
in the study of diseases or remedies, j
Nevertheless he was often consulted by \
, the neighborhood in times of stress. ,
i"I cert'nly don' know what I'lE (
gwine to do 'bout dese staggering head- ,
aches my wife has," said Mr. Orlandc
j Clay Jefferson gloomily to Uncle Has
! tus in the seclusion of the tiny room
! known as "the doctoring parlor." "Dey
| keep increasing an' magnifying as time
goes along. Seems ns if 1 couldn't git:
i her a good preachment 'bout do food or
tie house or any oh her neglects wuU
out her getting one oh dose staggering
aches in her head. None ob my lust
: two wives had such works."
Fncle Kastus bent a keen glance frotn
under his bushy eyebrows at the cross
old face before him, but lie offered no
suggestion.
"Ilabn't you got some kind ob pills
dat'll stop dose staggering headaches
dat keep her from de cook stove?" de
manded Mr. Jefferson Impatiently.
"No, sali," said I'ncle Kastus im
pressively: "dere's no such pills In do
market. Hut de bes' way to stop her
staggering headaches would be tc
fasten down your motif wld a big,
wide piece ob sticking plaster, Mist'
Jefferson. I'm puppared to put ft on,

tilailtleulni; n Humorist.
The financial burden which Mark
Twain carried some years ago weighed
on his mind heavily. In these mo
ments of despondency there was one
tactful friend who could make the
humorist forget his troubles. This i
was Dan Beard, the artist, who illus- i
trated some of Twain's books.
"Dan Heard, there Is no tonic that 1 ,
can equal the company of a cheerful j
man." said the humorist as he entered j
the artist's studio. .
"All, but I have such a pleasant sub- !
Ject to work upon that 1 am not in I
need of either man or tonic for my ;
cheerfulness," retorted the artist.
"Keg pardon, it is 1 that need the ,
tonic, and that Is why I am here," j
said Twain forlornly.
"Then allow me to prescribe a dose
of your own medicine." And Mark ;
was handed a copy of his book which
Beard had been studying.
"I thank you," replied the humorist. j
"It took me a year to get that medi
cine out of my system, and I do not j
propose to Imbibe It again."
A discussion of the book was fol- j
lowed by a hearty dinner, and Twain
left his friend, having received the
cheer that be needed.
He Ol>e>-e«l Orders.
Old world domestics make the best
possible servants because they work
like machines, never forgetting an or
der and doing exactly as they are told,
without presuming to think for them
' selves. Hut once in awhile this literal
adherence to duty produces some awk
j ward results. An American woman
i living in India, with native servants,
j once told her butler to see that there
j was always a napkin at the bottom of
i the fruit dish, cake basket, etc., when
these were brought to the table. The
: napkin was thereafter always seen In
its place. But one day a tureen of
J vegetable soup was served, aud the
| hostess began to wield the long, old
I fashioned silver ladle about in It. Sonie
! thing very like a fringed rag made iis
| appearance In the first plateful. The
| butler was summoned to remove the
! dish. "It cannot lie that the mom
I sahib found-no napkin at the bottom,"
1 lie hazarded, much distressed because
j of this unexplained disapproval, "for
I myself placed there the largest one
' I could find."
I Poetry find Science.
Hoetry bus perhaps no place in the
exact sciences, partly because exact
-1 ness is Incompatible with poetic license,
; partly because of the unalterable teml
, | ency of the poet to get things wrong,
j A curious example of this was noticed !
I In a lecture at the Camera club by Mr.
j Duncan on cuttlefishes. The modern
I cuttlefish is a descendant of the fossil 1
! belemnite, but the only descendant of
! tin* coeval ammonite is the paper uau- !
,' tllus. Better known is the Portuguese |
( i man-of war, with which the. paper nau- j
j tilus is sometimes confused aud which j
j is really allied with the belemnite j
. group, because, while its shell appears
| external, it is not really so. The poets ;
j 1 'one, Byron and James Montgomery ;
, ' all easily fell into the error, and Hope's ;
well known lines in the "Essay on
( II an"—
. j Learn of the little nautilus to sail,
; Bun ad the thin oar and catch the driving
» ! sale
embody a wrong description of this
' ; very interesting survival. Hope believ-
I ed, with many other people, that the lit- ,
. | tie nautilus comes to the surface keel
- i downward and spreads some fleshy
oval and ciliary expansions in the form
■i of two sails and six little oars. But It
. ' does nothing of the kind. The two lit
l j tie oval expansions the sails are nev
1* er raised at all, but always tightly
f>, clasp the shell. They form, in fact,
t part of the shell. Moreover, the uau- ,
i liltis comes to the surface upside down,
j if we may so express its position.—

The rain was falling in torrents -
the congregation came out of the lit;
church at Auburn Not ael >ud Lid
marred the clearness of tie- •- ,\ when
the sexton pulled the time worn b<- 1
rope to cail the good people to service,
and it was not surprN \g tl.at the 112. jr
sex were arrayed in their smart spring
frocks and bonnets.
The women tucked up their skirts
and huddled togethi ron the shallow
porch while the men made hasty das!,
es through the rain to nearby bom s
for umbrellas or to the old fashioned
top buggies in which they bad driven
to church. They returned laden with ;
protection of some kind for the frills .
and flounces.
"Land sakes, Inez, whatever 'll you
do?" a prim looking old lady in ■
black of a pretty girl in a pale blue
frock at her side. "You'll never walk |
that two mile in this rain and In that j
get up."
Inez Taylor looked anxiously out at
the willful little raindrops dancing on
the board walks. "I'll just wait here
until It's over, Aunt Betty." she an- ;
swered, but her pretty blue eyes look
ed ready to help the rain with their

tears. She was thinking of the mud
through which she must walk even
when the rain ceased, and she looked
down sadly at her dainty French lieel
til boots and th<- billowy rubles of her
new spring finery.
As the rain poured on an old white ,
horse attached to ;I:I «tpially ancient
black buggy stopped in front of the ;
church. The occupant, a young man.
pulled from beneath the seat some
side curtains and prepared to put them
on.
"Well, I'm bit —sed if that ain't Kob
ert Davis!" cried Aunt Betty "Hub
ert, oh, Kob'Tt, come"
"Don't, Aunt Betty." interrupted
Inez quickly as sh« dr< x b..ck into
the church door But si;.- was too
late. The young man had heard and
was on the porch in i minute.
"Robert, you're jest the man we
want. You can till- Inez home, for
you're a-goin' right by the house
Ain't it fortunate'-" Aunt Betty might
have observed from the expression of
her niece's face and the somewhat em
barrassed attitude of the young man
that they did not agi \\ itb her.
"I shall be oulj too glad, Mrs. With
erby, to drive you and Miss Inez home
Old Ned Is slow, but he gets there i:i ,
time," said the young man, looking di j
rectly sit the elder wcniitu and avoiding
Inez's eyes.
"Ob, but I ain't a-goin' liouie. I'm j
a-goin' to step right acrost the way to 1
take dinner with Susan, and Matilda,
and you and Inez will have more room
anyhow. That's a dear boy." She pat
ted him affectionately on the arm; she
could not reach the big, broad shoul
ders. "My sakes, but you are a-grow
ln', Robert! How's your mother? Come,
Inez, let me see you started home."
Aunt Betty, womanlike, asked more
questions than she expected to have an
swered.
Inez drew back into the church.
"Aunt Hetty, 1 can wait until the rali\
Is over and not bother Mr. Davis," she
said, averting her eyes from the young
man, who stood awkward and silent.
"Nensenhe, child! As if you and Kob
ert hadn't driven home together many
a time. Bother, Indeed? Come away,
child."
Aunt Betty was perfectly right. They
had driven together many a time, and
perhaps if the old white horse could
talk he might add that the conversa
tion he overheard on these occasions
would not convey the impression that
either one was "bothered." lint it was
fully a month since he had jogged
Along before his handsome young mas
ter and the fair Inez, whom he had
ventured to think was his mistress to
be.
"Come, Inez," said Bob, looking into
her eyes for the first time.
"Very well: 1 suppose I must," she
replied, tucking up her skirt and step
ping ahead of him. He thought she
had never looked so pretty; a little
petulent pout was becoming to Inez.
"Tuck in her dress, Robert," said
Aunt Betty when the young people
were In the seat, "and don't let her
spoil her bonnet, tloodby."
The pattering of the raindrops on the
t>u_;gy top and the splashing of <,; d
Ned's hoofs in the inudd\ road were the
] only sounds which broke the silence in
the vehicle. N "her one had spoken
After awhile Bob Davis leaned toward
liis fair companion and, taking her
hand, said. ' I'm sorry, Inez, that you
had to coiue with me against your
wishes, but it Could lilt be"
"So am 1. very scrj indeed, Mr

"No, I won't do anything you ask,
I Mr. Davis. I'lease hurry. I wish to

'"i'his Is most annoying," saiil Inez, j
looking ready to cry.
"Yes? Ned is stubborn too." Bob
placed a decided accent on the last
word.
i Inez bit her lip. Why did he not
i apologize?
"I shall get out and walk," she said j
after Bob had urged Ned in vain to |
trot along.
"Don't be foolish, Inez," said Bob a
little crossly. "I will get out myself
if my company Is so very distasteful t
to you." And, throwing back the rub
; tier robe, he p.epared to get out. The
rain was coming down as persistently I
as ever, and he stopped to turn up his
collar and trousers. As he placed his !
foot on the step to alight Inez caught j
| the end of bis coat.
i "Bob, you'll get wet!" she cried, pull- i
ing r at his coat. He did not turn around
and stepped out Into the mud and rain, !
jerking his coal from her a little rough- ;
ly. She was ready to cry.
"That's better than freezing," here- 1
torted.
"Please, please come back, Bob," and j
, Inez burst into tears. That settled It j
"Inez, sweetheart, I'm a brute. I
know it. Forgive me, darling," lie said
as he jumped into the seat and took
her in his arms. Ned thought It was ,
| now time to jog along.
"Take the lines. Bob," she said as j
Ned started and she looked up from
the wet shoulder, "and never, never
drop them again."
BIRDS SING ON THE WING.
Tlielr Note* Are More Charm! n«
When X\ arbliMl llarlnK FllKUt.
The songs of all birds gain in beauty
when they are uttered on the wing.
They seem to be delivered with more
abandon and greater volume. The wa- !
ter thrush's tirst cousin, the oven bird,
furnishes a striking example of this.
His ordinary song consists of a tepe- !
tition of the same note, hammered out j
j with a constant crescendo.
Very effective it is, too, as a part of
the general music of the forest, though
lacking individual attractiveness on j
account of the monotony of its Itera- :
tion. But when the bird rises above 1
the treetops and descends aftcsr the ;
fashion of the indigo bird to an iweom- i
paniment of scattered notes he takes ;
far higher rank as a performer.
Not always, however, does he require j
the exhilaration and inspiration of an |
aerial toboggan to cause him to aban- j
:lon his plain chant for a more florid j
«otig. I have heard bim sing the latter j
perched on a grapevine not two feet j
above the ground. And as if to show
that lie did not reserve his superior |
powers for special occasions he niin ,
gled it with his plain chant and end- j
lug with the song and sometimes re- |
versing this order.
I love to see the oven bird on the [
ground. There is such a ludicrous as- ,
sumption of dignity on his part as he ,
' strides about the stage, never for a
moment forgetting himself so far as to
hop. There is the same even, meas- j
ured steadiness about his movements
| that there is in his chant. It is only
when he launches himself into the ef
fervescing song that he forgets his
staid demeanor.—Lippincotfs.
Death on the Culm Hank.
' No matter what form death assumes,
I It Is never welcome. The grim rnes-
I Benger makes his appearance in many
forms in the anthracite mines of Penn
sylvania, but only one form is painless
und pleasant, and.to only one the vie
tiins go unconsciously. It is the death
ef the burning culm bank.
Many times during the year is such
0 death recorded when one of these
great culm banks is burning. The fire
is not seen in the daytime, and at night
It shines only with a faint glow through
the layers of ashes which separate the
live coals from the outer air.
To these -burning banks tramps and
other unfortunates forced to spend a
night In the open air go when the
nights grow chilly. The warm breath
of the culm lures them on with a prom
ise of a warm bed for the nlglit, and
they lie down to sleep in the comfort
able atmosphere of the bank and never
open their eyes again.
The noxious gases emanating from
the bank waft over them so softly that
they are soon asleep, and in many cases
they never awaken, being suffocated
during their slumbers.—Detroit Free
Press.

A man was brought up in a pro
visional court on a charge of stealing
a sack of flour and was very severely
handled by the prosecuting lawyer,
who had once made himself notorious
by going into bankruptcy, winch was
the only means by which he could es
cape his debts.
"You admit that you stole the sack
of flour?" questioned counsel sternly.
"Yes, but 1 took it honestly and in
broad daylight lo save my cldldren
from starvation," pleaded the prisoner.
"You call that honestly, do you?"
sneered the lawyer. "I call it amaz
. Ing impudence. Stealing is stealing
from whatever point of view you care
to look at it."
1 "Just so, mister, but it don't alius
bring the same punishment," retorted
' the man in the dock. "For instance,
1 shouldn't have been here now if I'd
done as you used to <li>- bought, or or
dered, the flour and never paid for it!"
And even the magistrate chuckled
behind his papers at the bullying law

the hand, sis much as to say, "We ought
to be indivisible." Two hands firmly
grasping each other ire the symbol of
tidelity. The clinched list bespeaks
rage and revenge, the hollowed hand
implores alms, the hand laid upon the
heart protests, the hand upon the fore
head thinks, and the hand behind the
ear expresses difficulties.
In a word, there Is scarcely a senti
ment which the hand is not capable of

supplies the place of the. mouth in
speaking, but also, rather Imperfectly.

A Wonder of Precocity
Christian lleinecker was born at T.n
beck on the Gth of February, 17-1.
When only ten months old he could re
| peat every word spoken to him. At
I twelve months of age he had memo
rized all the principal events in t ie
l'eiitateuch. Before he had finished
his second year of existence he h id
learned all the historical parts of both
the Old and the New Testament. At
the age of three he could reply corn et-
I ly to all questions put to him rega d
lug universal history and geography,
and in the same year he learned to
speak both Latin and French.
in his fourth year he employed his
time in studying religions, especially
the history of the Christian church.
' lie was not only able to glibly repeat
all that he had read, but was also able
| to reason with considerable of jtnlg
j ment and to give his own opinion of
l things in general. The king of lJen
j mark wished to see this wonderful
| child, so he was taken to Copenhagen,
j After his return to I.uheck lie lean -'d
I to write and was beginning on the j
' study of music and mathematics; bat,
J his constitution being very weak, he j
' took down and died on June 27, 17-o, |
j aged four years, four months rud
i twenty one days. What a wonderful
record for such a short life!
John UuNklu,
Rifskin had every advantage in the

! manuscript of Scott or a drawing by
Turner—one could funey him to lie a

i to secure ample and delightful oecu[ u
tion. lie received one with tlie courti sy
of a polished gentleman of the old J
school and talked delightfully without j
' the least assumption of superiority. 1 j
I remember how on ny first visit he
: gave me a recent utu iber of "Fors." in
| which, he said, I should be interested
because it spoke of Alpine traveling.
So it did. But be had quite forgotten
that he had taken an unfortunate ar
ticle of mine for a text to illustrate the
I vulgarity of modern scramblers. He
; remarked that I thought the Alps i.u
--1 proved by the odor of my tobacco
i smoke. I adhere to that heresy; they
were genlly improved for me. 1 might
have claimed to be a disciple and teld
hiui that their beauty had been inter
preted to me by "Modern Painters,"
though increased by my tobacco, but I
thought it better to drop the subject.—-

An old farmer, an\elder of the kirk
nnd a strict Sabbatarian, was especially
severe upon Jock for his shortcomings,
and that worthy, who had his doubt
as to the elder's godliness, determined
to get even with him upon the first op
portunity. Jock was as skillful an an
gler as he was a poacher, and upon one'
occasion, having captured an extra
large basket of trout, he resolved to
present a portion of the catch to the
elder. The gift having been duly ac
cepted, tlie wily Jock remarked casual
ly:
"But. elder, I clean forgot to tell ye
the fish were catclied yesterday" (Sun
day).
"Weel, John," returned the elder, gaz
Ing steadily at the contents of the bas
ket, "I dinna see that that was the faut
o' the troot."
Jock took his departure, sadder and
wiser—London Tit Bits.
