Indomitable still. Its shattered ranks Cheers to the breach again, and yet again, ' " So from the battling billows bunts the swell Of a more awful combat than of men. Aubrey de Vera. -. 1 DECIDED BY CHANCE The sun, ft great glowing ball of fire, had just descended behind the fringe of elm trees on Meadow Hill, and the parched summer world was free to breathe at last Wayne Hillard, finish ing his sketch of the fern shaded pool in the glen, dropped his pencil and inflated his lungs with the fragrant oxygen. Mrs. Mix, cleaning trout for the mor row's breakfast, in the kitchen, sighed a sigh of infinite relief. "One more day's gone!" said she; and Kitty and Tilly, skimming cream in the cool cellar, made haste with their work so as to finish without the light of a candle, and as they worked they talked and laughed lightly, as girls will do. ; Who were Kitty and Tilly? Why, they were Mrs, Mix's "hired help" the rosy daughters of impecunious neigh bors, who were more than glad to eke ont their slender allowance of pocket money by assisting the harassed land lady in "busy times." Kitty was a ra diant blonde, with hair just warmed with red, eyes of mischievous gray, and a complexion that would have been per fect were it not for the sprinkling of freckles across the bridge of the saucy nose. Tilly, on the contrary, was pale and dark, with big, solemn eyes full of jetty lights, and a small head set with imperial grace on her slim shoulders; and their voices sounded like the indis tinct twitter of orioles as they talked and skimmed great leathery sheets of cream and strained the "night's milk" into broad, shining pans. "I think he's splendid!" said Kitty. "So do II" said Tilly, enthusiastically. "I mean to have him!" said Kitty, waving her skimmer above a fresh pan. "I like that!" ironically observed Tilly. "I've always pined to be an artist's bride," said Kitty. "Yes," interrupted Tilly, "and I have made up my mind to a city life. This country vegetation don't suit me! must marry a city man!" ' Kitty covered up the stono cream jar with a little clink. "Well, how are we going to settle this matter?" said she, with a laugh. "Wei both want Wayne Hillard! We're both determined to have him." "Draw lots," suggested Tilly. "Noth ing like chance for determing a question like this. Oh! I say, Kitty, this pan leaks. Give me one of the new ones. do like a new milk pan it makes one think of sheets of silver," "No, we won't do that it's too hack neyed," said Kitty. "I'll tell you what we'll do, Tilly. Mr. Hillard never comes into the house without going straight into the milk room for a drink of new milk. Mrs. Mix always leaves a little brown pitcher there for him. Well, we'll leave two pitchers, one white for you, the other blue for me. The one that he selects shall decide the question. If it's blue then he's mine! If it's white I cheerfully give him up to you!" "Girls, I should think you'd be ashamed of yourselves!" Tilly gave a great start; Kitty colored until the freckles looked like a fleet of tiny brown boats on a sea of scarlet, Mrs. Mix was at the head of the stairs, glaring down at them like an indignant tabby cat. i "We we didn't mean anything," feebly uttered Kitty. j "We were only making fun," mur mured Tilly. "It ain't the sort o' fun they used to make when I was a girl," said Mrs. Mix. "We were talking about the milk, apologized Kitty, with excusable equivo cation. " 'Tain't worthwhile to fib," said Km. Mix, "I was standin' jest by the win der, and I heerd every word you said " Here's the platter o'flsh. Put it in a cool place, not too near the milk." Kitty Farrar and Tillv Grey looked guiltily at each other, ana indulged in a surreptitious titter when the door closed sharply. "Do you suppose she did hear it all?" said Tilly breathlessly. "It isn't a hanging matter if she did," declared Kitty. "Quiok get the pitch ers! Take them in the baok way. I hear him coming now." "Oh, if it's como to your knowing his very step" - "Do hold your tongue, Tilly!" i On the whitely scoured milk room shelf stood the two little pitchers, one of old "flowing blue," the other a squatty white ware specimen, . with a crystal clear tumbler beside them. In Kitty's haste she had forgotten to fill but one, and as the two dimpled faces peeped from tho twilight darkness at the head of the cellar stairs thoy could see Wayne Hillard oome direct to the little milk room and take up the white pitcher. "There!" whispered Tilly, spasmod ically squeezing Kitty's round little arm. But the white pitohor was empty. He sot it down with a smothered exclama tion of impatience, and seizing the flow ing blue poured out a glass of cool, foam ing milk and drank it, Then he walked out again. ' , . "There (" retorted Kitty. "He took my pitcher after all." "But he took mine first." VDon't be shabby, Tilly. If ever any thing wag rejected your pitoher was. Ho li mine." "Nonsense, Kit! By all the rules of love and war he belongs to me." "I mean to have him, anyhow." "IH see about that," said Tilly reso lutely. -Hush!" cried Kitty. "What's that? Some one giggling. It's Tom" "No, it isn't. Tom has been sent up to Spotswood farm for half a doxen ducks for Sunday's dinner. It's your guilty conscience, Kit, that's all." 'Til tell ye, mister," said Tom, ii you'll promise never to let on who il : was, and if you'll gimme that 'ere j'inted fishln' pole o yourn as ye don't use n more." "I don't think I care mnch about your news, Tom," sold Mr. Hillard, who was just settling himself for a morning's sketching by the river heights. "Oh, but you will when you hear it," said Tom. "Mother says, says she, "Girls, you'd orterd be ashamed of your selves.'. And Kit Farrar she (aid she 1 knowed your step, and Tilly Grey she . said she lowed to marry a city feller like you, and then they agreed to chance it And there was something about two colored pitchers I don't rightly under stand that; but I ruther think yon fell to Kitty's lot, and she was awful tickled : and"- ..--.;.' "Look hera, Tom," said Mr. Hillard, . leisurely turning over his tubes of color, ' "don't it strike you that this is very like telling tales out of school? It isn't like ly the young ladies meant you to repeat these little jokes!". ; ' "But they was dead in earnest," ' wheesed Tom. "Much you know about it," said Hill ajd, "No you ant hftv the rod. CSear out, and rememoer for tne rnture never to tattle." Tom Mix retired much discomfited and Wayne Hillard began to, paint, but as he painted he pondered. "If I'n$ really th sport of battle sajd he, "I ought to surrender myself at once. Pretty little beauties they are fair and dark, like a sunbeam and a shadow, side by side! , 'How happy could I be with either, Were t'other dear charmer away, Kitty Farrar is my possessor, eh? I do really think I ought to have given that young marplot the fishing rod after all." lie laughed as the idea grew in his mind; yet more and more he liked it He had noticed Kitty and Tilly oftener than they had dreamed of. He knew that Kitty was the clergyman's niece, and that Tilly's dead father had been a colonel in the civil war. Ho was quite aware that they were pretty and grace ful, with sweet low voices, and a pictur esque way of wearing flowers in their hair. - J .... , , ' ; ,.. "They began a joke," said he to hln- self, "I'll finish it!" , Kitty Farrar 'was spreading table nap kins out to bleach' on ,the grass beyond the lawn tennis court. TUly stood hold ing the basket for her when Mr. Hill ard approached. But the instant they saw him a 'gentle ice of indescribable dignity froze around them. They recog nized his greeting as two young duch esses might have done. ' '"I can't do it," he told himself , and fell to talking about the weather. How he wished that scapegrace Tom had held his tongue.- But after that he observed Kitty quietly and often. "She is a violet in the shade," he thought. "A dewdrop hiding from the sun. Yes, I really think I shall ask her to marry me, but I would like my Un cle Churchill to see her first" - Uncle Churchill arrived on the scene a handsome middle aged lawyer, with dark eyes and a shrewd mouth. "Which is it?" said he. "Oh, you must decide that for your self, laughed Wayne. " "That's hardly fair," said Mr. Church- hill..- . i. : "It's so important that you should be entirely free from bias or prejudice," pleaded Wayne, "At the end of a week let me know what you think." At the end of the week Uncle Church ill reported. ''' ' "It can only be TUly Grey," said he. "She is perfect simply perfect!" "Tilly Grey!" repeated Wayne. "She is a very pretty girl, I admit; but as com pared t" Kitty Farrar" "I . can only say what I think," said Uncle Churchill. "Take' another week to consider it," said Hillard. -"I will," said Uncle Churchill. ,i Kitty and Tilly, however, were not entirely unobservant of matters, and one evening when Churchill and Hillard re turned from a day's fishing two stolid German madohens were waiting at table. The girls had gone home. "Their folks wanted them," Mrs. Mix said regretfully. "We'll follow them," said Mrv Hillard sotto voce. "An excellent idea!" said Churchill promptly. Kitty Farrar sat on the doorstep of the old house with a black kitten in her lap when Mr. Hillard came up the walk. She colored like a carnation. You see I have found you out," said he. "Kitty, were you running away from me?" ,. "Not not because I was afraid," an swered valiant Kitty. "Well, wherever you run for the future I shall follow," said he, "because 1 love you, Kitty." And it was not until the little diamond ring that had been his mother's was safely fitted on her finger that he mis chievously alluded to Tom's betrayal of the state secret. ' "You know," said he, "that I have be longed by right to you ever since I took up the blue pitcher." . Kitty's eyes flashed. "Bui y ) a took np the white pitcher 2rfctl" t. ud she. "Go back to Mitilda Gioy, if . m pltiise; I shan't detain "I xraldn't if I wanted to," said Wayne. "Hiss if she chooses is to bo my aunt Btitdes, blue is my color," with his eyes fixed on the knot of ribbon at Kitty's throat. j "Mr. Churchill is a very handsome man," said Kitty solemnly, "and I do think Tilly fancies htm. Oh, I am so glad!" . "Let's walk over to the Grey farm and congratulate them," said Hillard. "But' cried Kitty, "we will neither of us ever be married if you dare again to allude to the the two pitchers." t'No, that we will not!" said Tilly. And Tom got the iointed fishing rod after c'l. He didn't deserve it, but what sort (! world would this beifpeople only got their deserts'. Shirley Browns in Fireside Companion, tha next day he would go to Charing Cross. The types had it "ch;wing crows." During the eastern complications, ten or twelve years ago, a certain Mahmond Jan figured rather prominently.. One night a compositor got a take of tele graph of which that name was the first word. He glanced at it, and with. an imprecation on the "fool operator who don't 'know what month it is," he pro ceeded to erect it thus! "Mahmoud, Dec. 5," making a date line of it - v.-. -. One of the finest breaks I ever saw was made by a proofreader. He came across the line: . , ... . Aye, springes to catch woodcock. He was not up on "Hamlet," and never having seen the word "springes" of course knew there was no such. ' So he changed" the p to a y, making it ''syringes." The man who set the take was an amateur actor and perfectly fa miliar with the line, but the most he could effect with the proofreader was a compromise. The p was let stand, "but the e had to come out, and so it went "springs." ' .- I will close this, not for want of mate rial so much as for fear of encroaching too much on your space, by recounting the feat of a printer who, in an article describing a mendicant, said he wore a "threadbone coat" and had on his face a "necktie flush." Artist Printer. BANKS. ., Saw Too Much. A southern planter hired a negro and put him into his field to work. After a while the planter came along and accost ed the new hand: "Did you see a coach go down the road a while ago?" "Indeed, I did, boss.- One ob de hosses was a gray hoss and de odder was a roan, and lame in his off leg." . ' "I thought I heard some hunters over there on the edge of the woods. " " "Yes, boss. One ob dem-was Col. Jones; he was the tall one. De second one was Maj. Peters and the third one was Tom McSnifter. Col.

Slime of the Queer Errors Made by the Intelligent Knights of the Case. I will put on record some few of the many typographical errors and bulls which have come under my eye. To begin I will cite that of a composi tor who in a furniture advertisement where cradles and coffins were spoken of conjointly said they were ' 'the apples and oranges (alpha and omega) of human life." In Jim Fisk's palmiest days the editor of a paper on which I was employed wrote an article descriptive of a "turn out" (horses and carriage) with which Fisk was just then paralyzing New York. The learned blacksmith who set it up read the word "turnout" "tomcat," and so had it all through the article. A clipper on The Atlanta Constitution once wrote this: "The Texas Pacific is now running out thirty miles from Tex arkana." The proof sheet read: "The Texas Pacific is now shipping wintry mules from Texas races." About the time the above was gotten off , another compositor on the same paper, in setting a take of telegraph about the Turco-Eussian war, gravely announced that the "Russians had captured the Topeka Post" (for Schipka Pass). ' After the death of the Emperor Napo leon the telegraph, in describing his ap pearance as he lay in his coffin, said that his features are placid but careworn." The typo read the last words "can work" and so set it The same artist on the same day spoke of the "attitude of the Brazilian goat toward the Antilles." I have seen the abbreviation "gov t" translated "goat" innumerable times, but only once have I seen it reversed and "goat" rendered "government" this by a man who was always looking out to avoid the first named "bull," he setting up a description of an "Angora government." On the day that R. . Lee died a Rich mond dispatch said that "General gloom prevails.' The proof had it this way: "Gen. Gloom," etc. After Horace Greeley's death the presi dential electors of Georgia, when they went to cast their votes, having no can didates to give them to, cast them in a complimentary way for different persons. The editor of the paper I was working on, in speaking of the mat ter, said they "scat tered their votes like a coquette her smiles." Imagine his horror when this confronted him: "Scattered their votes like a cognat for miles." Several years ago, while a noted south ern author, now dead, was on a tour in Europe, in one of his letters he wrote that, after visiting a certain locality, on Steel or Wood --AT- pirt jvlatioijal BaijK ft INDEPENDENCE, OREGON. ! ,-:! --,.. . . - President ... .............
