The whitor winds were nlghlnff.
And lntelhe orlnlcV empty aett
The flakrii of enow were flying.
The vlnoi nlnnt; tho Rnrdon w-nll

And In the xardon dull and hare
The rammer floworn were drenmlng.
The enrw lay deep over withered graaa,
The eklen were cold and Kjiy,
And elowly the dreary nluhfcnme nn
To end the wrary day.
1 wnke. MIkIi up In thevrolinrd bough
A hundred birds were pinulng.
And la the birch trees pleasant shade
The orioles nests were swinging.
Along the river, tall and green,
1 saw the rushes trrnwuig.
And daisy fwtsls while as snow
Among the grasses showing.
The flowers held the auashlne bright.
The tor ernes were at piny.
And ewlftiy the dreamy night ttimfl oa
Toend the happy day.

BIGNESS AND SENSE.
NOT ALL INTELLECTUAL PEOPLE ARE
COMPANIONABLE.
The Art orKntertatntngfihonM lie Rtndled
thy Many People TIm Think They Are
Treading the Higher Planes of I.lre.
Lrlng Children.
BigneM is not the Mine n ttize.nt least
not always, and it is not to lie pstimated
by weight. "The ppojilo," snys a gonor
ons troman, "whom I most dread as
priests are thoro who have no capacity
for mnnll plonsnrps.' I, too, hnve tho
same trouble. John has a bulky friend
who uover plays a game or romps with
children, and I do not know wlint to do
with him. When we go out to play cro
quet, he stalks up and down with his
arniRcrogRed under his coattails and has
not tho least interest in our sport. Then
John has to leave us and go oft to dis
cuss the resurrection of tho body or set
tle some other high and mighty problem
that neither of tltetn knows anything
about.
John doesn't like it, bnt he feels tho
obligations of a host and, as for me, I
don't think any guest ought to disrupt a
family and become a distracting ele
ment. Why can't the man get off his
horse and try to see what other folks
need and like? This is all the worse be
canse, if we proposo a walk, he sees
nothing to interest him; doesn't nolico
the trees or the flowers nnd strikes in
with a disputations tirade about Dr.
Briggs or the higher criticism. When
theology runs dry, he goes into politics,
and we must discuss tariff and silver or
be impolite. I like hospitality. It makes
me miserable when I cannot lie sure of
pleasing my guest. I simply have to
wish that Edward Knox would stay
away.
Women aa a rule are made np for
smaller things, and it very much pleases
me that Emerson decides genius to be
capacity for small things. Bnt I know
a few women who are terrible charac
ters to get on with. Mrs. Jane Oeary
comes in to talk over the lost book by a
woman author. A pleasant topic this.
But how unutterably silly this wise
woman is when she tries to please chil
dren for she really tries. Think of
asking a 7-year-old if she knows "what
the analysis" of candy Is, When she
walks with mo, she pokes a hollyhock
and calls it a geranium.
I do not know whether the ancients
meant the snn and its rays when they
talked about Samson and his long tress
es of hair, and I do not much care. But
Samson was and is interesting for this
reason: He was a physical prodigy, with
a gentle capacity for very human feel
ings. Ee could be cajoled into a frolic
come mood and was terrible only when
he must be. David is a bettor sample of
the great big body full of small and
pleasant ways. "I," said a certain great
preacher, "learned my first love for the
childlike of my brave father, who never
despised small things, and thon I learned
the same lesson of Jesus. I am a Chris
tian because real Christianity is great
ness in small things."
One of Jules de Glouvet's novels, "The
Woodman," saves its hero, who is a
poacher and always ready for killing
and eating and little else, by means of a
little child. The child kills out tho
man's furious passions, and the sight of
the little one converts him to a new sort
of life. That is the mission, is it not, of
our children to keep ns from growing
old and hard in our emotions? But what
can a woman do with visitors who either
frankly say they do not like children, or
who manifestly are very indifferent to
them? It becomes a necessity at once to
create two households, to keep the chil
dren busy somewhere while we attend
to our guests.
We are all fond of trifling discoveries.
We like our rambles in the woods and
glens to find new flowers. John gets as
excited as one of the boys when he finds
a rare flower. We talk it over, and it is
added to some one s herbarium with
pride. Indeed I cannot see that there
is any other way of making life very en
joyable or livable even but by the tri
fles. The Japanese Iiomeos make love
by calling on the object of affection,
carrying in one hand a flowerpot with a
pet plant. We ought, I bolieve, to cm
tivate these simple ways. Those who
cannot be happy without noise, display
sand excitement are on the road to being
incapable of happiness at all.
Dr. Bremer says: "Basing my asser
tion on my private praotice and at St,
Vincent's, I will say that the boy who
smokes at 7 will drink whisky' ut 14, take
to morphine at SO or 25 and wind up with
cocaine or other narcotics at 80 or soon
after," Above all things have a homely
way of living, so childlike, Bimplc, f resh.
that yon will never lie blase or any of
your household lose the capacity for be
ing pleased. I have heard of dead moral
natures and of intellectual powers ar
rested in the way of tluvelopmeut ami
have seen cases of both sorts, but there
Is quite as much danger of losiof faculty
for pleasure.
I went to church yesterday and heard
a clever dlsconrse on the Christian obli
gation of loving. The preacher said to
ns, "Just love, only uon t love yourself
that is all there is to the law of religion.
But I do not believe that preacher was
doing anything more than retailing
wares he had bought in the lump and did
not know anything about, for he went
on with illustrations of all torts to em
phasize and explain love, but all his
examples were of a showy sort. The
real Christian love is in trifles of tho
commonest sort. The grandest exhibi
tion of bigness is in doing small favors
There is something wonderful In a big
man's arms. The habit of taking a man's
arm is the finest little exhibition of
honor a woman could have bestowed
Your arm, sir, is stout and full of soul.
It is the very ideal of defense and protec
tion. You give it to me, and if I have
confidence that your soul is as muscular
as your body I take the arm. Woman
gives the hand; man gives the arm. But
It Is not all arms that are worth taking.
Mary E. Spencer in St. Louis Globe
Democrat The Midway Is Weak and Vapid,
Henry Watterson, who is at the
Richelieu, has been studying the vari
ous things to be found in Midway
plaisance. He tells the story thus: "I
had heard several remarks made about
the torribly wicked things to be found
in Midway, and in the interest of man
kind in general I concluded that it was
my duty to see them, and if necessary
raise my voitfe and wield my pen in
saying things about them. Well, I
'have saw them' as nn old friend of
mine in Louisville says and the ver
dict I have reached is that the Midway
plaisance has no right to lie connected
in any way with such a wonderful
show as the World's fair. There is
nothing of interest there to me except
the types of people. The so called
shows are frauds and 'fakes.' Those
that are advertised as being obscene and
vulgar are weak and vapid. There ia
nothing terrible about them at all, And
the mysterious whispered comments
upon their broadness are unnecessary.
There is no vulgarity about them.
They are insipid.
"One woman, who poses as a Persian,
was asked by a friend of mine what she
was doing. No answer was expected, as
we didn't suppose a Persian could under
stand English. To our surprise, how
ever, she looked at us, and in good Bow
ery patois said: 'I am knitting. What
do you suppose I am doing? Then, with
a downward, horizontal movement of
her hand, she inquired if we saw." Chi
cago Tribune.
A Burglar tVho Tried to Take Everything.
C. A. Collins, who says that he is a
clerk, bnt who is said by the police to be
one of the shrewdest burglars in the
city, is confined in one of the tanks in
the city prison. Ho was arrested Wednes
day night by Detectives Silvey, Cody and
Crockett.
On the 2Mb. of last month, according
to the police, he broke into the flat of
Mrs. Knox at 2543 Howard street while
she was absent in the country and for
two days devoted his time to carting
away every movable object in the house.
Nothing seemed to be bonoath his notice,
and in the various trips he made in and
out he took away all the silverware,
clothing, bedclothes, etc., that belonged
to Mrs. Knox, and then took down the
curtains and portieres and the pictures
on the walls. The carpets and rugs also
came under his observation, and he took
the choicest.
All these tilings were disposed of to a
Fourth street furniture dealer, and Sil
ver says that he not only received the
cash for them, bnt made arrangements
with the furniture man to go and get
the piano and the rest of the carpets, and
had negotiations under way with a Mar
ket street real estate agent to put a mort
gage on the building. San Francisco
Examiner.
Cameras to Check Cruelty.
At the monthly meeting of the direc
tors of the Massachusetts Society For
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
President Angell exhibited pictures tak
en with kodaks. He proposes to use the
kodaks to show not only high check reins
und horses mutilated by docking, to
gether with owners who drive and ride
them, but also all kinds of cruelty that
can be found on cattle cars, in cattle
yards, slaughter houses, markets, horse
racing, polo games and otherwise. Bos

Were All the Bridegrooms Coloaelsf
It is said that there were eight mar
riages in Washington comity recently
the same day, and that six of the brides
were sisters, one was an aunt pf them
and the other a cousin. There were also
three marriages near Tennille the some
day, and the brides there were distantly

A New Message.
It was not without meaning that the
hilts of some swords were put into the
metal of the Columbian Liberty bell,
which is to ring in the victories of peace
and International brotherhood. "A new
commandment I give unto you, that ye
lov one another," is the inscription
round it rim, Philadelphia Ledger.
Bought Hint When a Savage.
"Here is the best investment I ever
made in my life," said C. Gentile as he
took the extended hand of a stalwart
young man with the features of the
American Indian and introduced tho
gentleman as Dr. Carlos Montezuma.
"One would not think I bought the doc
tor for 10. He was but Ave years of age
then. It was in the summer of 1871. I
was prospecting in Arizona, taking pho
tographs of Indians and Aztec ruins and
gathering curiosities. One day a band
of Pimo Indians came into my den with
this handsomo fellow here, but he was
not handsome then. He was painted in
glaring colors, with rowsof beads around
his neck. I took a fancy to him as a
genuine live curiosity. The Pitnos wanted
30 for him. I tried to bent them down,
but they Insisted upon tlieir price, ami i
gave it. The little chap cried for a day
or two, thinking I was going to kill him,
and he laughs now when he explains that
he took me for the devil."
Dr. Montezuma is in the government
service and is now on his way from the
Colville reservation of Washington to
the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., where
he will enter upon the duties of school
physician. The doctor was partly edu
cated in Chicago in the public schools,
where he spent five years, and later took
the course in the Chicago Medical col
lege, entering the Indian service of the
government after his graduation. He
says his life will be dedicated to the
service of the Indians, and he will never
be perfectly satisfied until the govern
ment properly educates the young of his
people. Chicago Inter Ocean.
A Turkish Priest In the Tolls,
In the Turkish village on Midway
plaisance there is a muezzin named Dre
nar Effendi, a priest, very zealous in the
performance of his religious duties.
Yesterday afternoon he was arrested on
a charge of disorderly conduct and giv
en a ride in the patrol wagon to Wood
lawn station.
The trouble arose from a growing dis
position on the part of the Turks to treat
the duties of their religion with indiffer
ence. When Drenar Effendi called the
Turks to prayer yesterday afternoon
they did not respond with what seemed
to him a proper amount of alacrity, and
incensed at their slowness $o seized a
club and began to lieat them over the
head. This attracted a large crowd at
once, and a guard arrested the priest.
By the time lie reached the station the
Turks began to be very much frightened
at the thought of their priest's being
locked up like a common criminal in a
Christian jail, so a delegation was sent
over to Woodlawn to bail him out in
time for the sunset service, attendance
upon which was secured by moral sua
sion instead of a club. Chicago News
Record. A Ilare Blossom.
A rare flower can lie seen in the gar
den north of the fountain in the north
west section of the publio square. It is
a yucca gloriosa, commonly known as
glorious Adam's needle, and it is stated
this is tho first time the plant has
bloomed for 80 or 40 years. Fears are
entertained that the blossom may kill
the plant, and an effort will be made to
presorve it. An authority on botanical
subjects says that the yucca can bo seen
to best advantage by moonlight while in
bloom.
As the yucca grows old the lowermost
foliage decays, leaving a thick bare
stalk; in fact, giving the stalk quite an
arborescent character. Its height is ex
tremely variable; its age before flower
ing also varies from S to 15 years, and its
subsequent intervals are quite uncertain.
Tho flowers are white and boll shaped,
and are in a cluster at the end of a long
stalk. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Canoed Goods Wllllle High Next Season.
A. E. Wetmore, representing a syndi
cate of California fruit canners, was in
Helena yesterday. He came to judge
bow much fruit the Montana market
would take at low prices this season. In
explanation of his trip, he said: "The
Pacific! coast canneries will be able this
year to can very little fruit. Money is
so tight that it is impossible for them to
get the cash to buy tin, sugar and other
necessary supplies and pay their labor,
They have already contracted for the
growers' crops, and these they will have
to take. The peach and other crops will
be large, and the canners will try to
ship all the fresh fruit possible. What
they do not ship will be dried. Natural
ly California fruit will sell at low prices
this year, but canned goods next season
will be high. Cor. Chicago Tribune.
A Temperance Man's Awful Eiperlenoe
There was an utter collapse of a
Springfield man visiting the World's
fair recently. He went into one of the
Chicago hotels and Innocently called for
a bottle of apolfinaris water, only to be
told in withering tones by the clerk.
evidently a fresh importation from a
blue ribbon district, that that was a
strictly temperance house, and no intox

the best thing he could do was to come

The Australian Case In Nutshell.
The people of Australia made the mis
take, repeated on a small scale in Toron
to, of thinking they could live forever
by trading lots and borrowing. When
new purchasers ceased to come with
their savings and lenders wanted their

AN INCIDENT IN REAL LIFE.
Showing ttow Unpleasant People Can Make
Themselves by Their Talk.
I stepiied upon a Broadway car at the
lower end of Broadway and rode in it
along that fast changing highway as far
as Nineteenth street. At the corner of
Chambers street and Broadway a man
of perhaps 40 and a woman not more
than 25, he carrying a huge portmanteau,
a collection of wraps, two umbrellas
and a cane, she leading by the hand
8-year-old baby, joined the partially
crowded patronage already seated. A
cloud of dissatisfaction rested npon the
brow of the man. The frown of an al
ready born rumpus fast unfolding into
fruitage made forbidding and ugly the
comely countenance of the woman. Her
nervous disposition made itself known
to avery ono in the car and particularly
to the little boy as she yanked the child
by the arm into the seat beside her. Aft
er a moment's silence the woman said,
"You might have known how it would
be," to which he responded, "Well, I
might have known, but I didn't, so shut
npl"
Another passenger entered the car at
that moment and stumbled over the port
manteau. "Hang that bag!" said the man.
"If I were you, I would keep my cuss
ing for home," said the woman, and so
on and on and on.
The ensuing half hour was passed by
these two in a strain which would have
done credit to the most pronounced hag
in the dirtiest quarters of a third rate
fish market. The little boy, thank heav
en, went fast asleep. Much of the con
versation between the two was inaudible
save to the three or four people in imme
diate contact with them, but every once
in awhile the shrill voice of the female
bird soared into upper altitudes of defi
ance, making discordant the entire at
mosphere and attracting the attention
of nearly a score of people. They got
out at the corner of Fourteenth street
and Broadway and entered a cafe he

Well, what of it? It is not such a very
uncommon thing for man and wife for
lovers even, for daily intercourse to
quarrel and to vent serpentlike hisses
from the unruly members that wag with
curious motion as they distill poison
from bitter and jaundiced hearts. It is
not so uncommon, I admit, bnt isn't it
always suggestive? I thought as I looked
at tho mini, with a good, square, clean
forehead, well marked brows, a clear
skin and an air of self poiso, that ho was
hardly doing himself justice. Save that
his hands were rude and rough and that
his boots were country mado, that his
portmanteau was considerably older
than tho ordinary hill and that his um
brella looked as though it might have
been ntilized by Mrs. No:i when sho
came from the ark, he was a man of tho
world in appearance.
And the woman had a pretty face.
Her hair was parted in the middle, as
women's hair should be, and revealed in
its old fashioned brushing a tiny ear, not
so small as to indicate utter selfishness,
but, on the other hand, not so large as to
rival a genuine Saddle- Rock oyster in it"
vulgarity. Her eyes were brown, soft
at that; her teeth were regular and
olean; her dross was neat, her hands uud
feet well clad, and nn occasional pat
npon the boy's shoulder as he lay nes
tling against her, fast asleep, indicated
the feminine nature, the affectionate ten
derness of the mother.
Listening under tho circumstances was
not rudeness. It was compulsory. I sat
next the boy. Some of his banana skin
ornaments my coatsleeve until this mo
ment. As he lay semicoiled up I noticed
the copper nails in the bottom of his shoo
and the copper toe upon the same. The
group was easily and perfectly within
my vision. As word after word foil red
hot I thought: How odd this all would
have sounded in that shell-like ear five
years ago. How strange it would have
seemed to the lover had he heard it or
had it been suggested to him that ever
it could be possible for him to hear such
language from such lips. Howard in

Satisfying Vanity.
"It's lovely to have a small bit of van
ity," said a little woman, tying her bon
net strings before the glass.
"That's a very unorthodox sentiment,
my dear," laughed the looker on.
"Do you think so? I am not so snre
of that," meditated the little woman, be
ginning to put on her gloves, "I should
not be able to face the people I have to
see today nor accomplish the mission I
have in hand if 1 was not sure that my
bat is becoming, my gown well fitting
and the other details of my dress irre
proachable. I know I do look well, and
therefore people like to see mo. So I
can please them and get what I want.

some other name for it." Exchange,

Now that the civil war is a long war
In the past it is safe to relate certain
cases of the cutting of red tape which at

quiet as possible. Military routine often
left men without what civilians would
regard as the commonest necessities of
life, and to endure these deprivations
when they were unnecessary waa hard

One day in the summer of 1801 a Maine
regiment was encamied in Washington.
The rations were poor, and two soldiers,
privates, resolved to see if they could
not get something better.
They went, in their uniforms of course",
directly to the White House, and enter

guardians of the executive mansion. In
one of the passages they met a very tall
man. They had no donbt it was Presi

he bowed to them, but they said noth
ing. Their business was not with him,
but with his cook.
They went on and found their way to
the broad kitchen. The cook was there
at work.

him, "we've sworn to support this 'ere

An Awful Possibility.
It is a great deal more sensible to
travel comfortably than to throw away
money for nothing. I would prefer to
have a cabin to myself, even if I had to
travel on a second class ship. I do not
see why I should have a stranger in my
room. It is a dreadful lottery, and he
is apt to have very unclean habits. Im

and the stench of the machinery. Yon
cannot ask a man for a guarantee of his
position. He is apt tobelongto'the mid
dle class, and think how perfectly horri
ble it would be to inhabit a room with a
being who has very uncertain notions
about the complete change of linen every
day and whose rule of cleanliness has
been a tub once a week, on Saturday
night.
And then, even if cleanly, he might
not wear the right kind of underclothes,
and he might persist in sleeping in night
robes instead of pajamas, and he might
do a hundred other dreadful things.
Think of watching such a creature dress

Money In Wall Street.
New Yorkers are noted for being
scramblers after money. But they are
just as remarkable for the risks they
take with it when they get it, A man
went through Wall street to the ferry
one day last week with $300,000 in the
pocket of his overcoat. He had an um
brella in one hand and a cigar between
the Angers of the other. It would not
have required an expert pickpocket to
