Tis bound by a thousand bands to my heart; Not a tlo will break, not a link will start; Would you know tho spell? a mother sat thorcl And a sacred thing Is that old armchair. In childhood's hour I lingered near That hallowed sunt with listening ear; And gentle words that mother would giro To tit mo to die, and teach mo to live. Bho told me that shaino would never be tide, With Truth for my creed, and Ood for my Kuldo; Rhe taught me to lisp my earliest prayer, As I knelt besldo that old armchair. I I sat, and watched her many a day, When hor eye grew dim, and her locVs wero gray; And I almost worshiped her when sho smiled, And turned from her Dlblo to bless her child. Years rolled on, but the last one sped My idol was shattered, my onrth-star fled I And I learned how much tho heart can bear, When I saw her dlo in her old armchair.

Cardinal Nowman. Crushing a Now Bout. Tho Sultan of Turkey has ordered tho extirpation, by ns sevoro methods ns enn bo devised, so ns to tench a lesson, It is reported, of a nuw re ligious sect that has inndo great head way In Damascus. Tho new religion is not Jewish nor Mohammedun nor Christian, but a sort of medley of all three. It tenches that nolthur Mo hammed nor Christ was n divine per son, though their existence Is admit ted. Thoy wcro simply great philos ophers who wero endowed with pow ers to perforin certain miracles. Moro Interesting however, Is thnt tho mem bers, having admitted souio belief in Islam, nro allowed n plurality of wives, whllo as a recognition of Chris tianity thoy ara not forbidden to bo total abstainers from strong drink. It is an enticing religion to those who have no desire to plnco too great a curb on their passions, nnd such uro common in the land of the Turk; hence, probably, so great a number of recruits that tho nttentlon of tho Sultan aid the Subltrao Porto was at tracted to it. A Few itroaks. The breakers broke on the broken shore And the maiden In her brnko Itroke out hi a laugh at the frown he wore As the storm broke o'er tho lako. He made a break for the distant brake, Where the thick brakes spread their shade, Out the cuttle broke from their brake to make Him grieve o'er the break he'd made. Bo the landlord broke him all up when, In broken tones he spoke About his bill, and he broke down then, Confessing that he was "broke." Name Caught lllm. "Kin youse gimme er blto ter eat, lady?" queried the dusty tramp. "I haven't anything cooked," was tho reply, "but I can give you a piece of loaf cake, If that will satisfy you." "T'anks, ladyr" answered the hobo. "Ef It tastes like It sounds I reckon It's Jest wot I'm lookln' fer." Her Itule. "You believe In short engagements, don't you, dear?" asked the huppy und accepted lover. "Short engagements have always been my rule, darling," replied sho. And even then he did tiot seem bap- py. If there Is auytblng in the supersti tion that rice throwing brings good luck. It Is a wonder It s not thrown after the'bearae at a funeral. LITTLE npple-fnced mnn, nlmoiit ns broad ns ho was high, cnnie blustering nrotiml the corner. His red nnd green enrpet slippers slnpped tho walk, seeming to keep time to something ho was saying to himself. A short dlstnuco In ndvnnco of him a woman was walking. See ing her, ho started on n Jog trot nud called out; "Ay there! Hi say HI wns a tellln yer 'usbnnd " Sho stopped nnd ho puffed up like n tug. "HI wns n tellln' yer 'usbnnd, I 'live n little book nt mo 'oueo, nnd It could tell you more nbout medicine lu two lines thnu 'o 'as In 'is 'end." Ho pursed up his lips nnd watched tho effect of this renmrk. Mrs. Wilson wns struggling between nnnoynnco nnd n desire to laugh. "It must bo n wonderful little book." she snld. His red-brown eyes peered nt her suspiciously. "When III was quite n chicken," ho continued, "me father used to send mo bout with n gang of men under mo to do brldgo work. Once wo wns hout In tho country nnd a lot of tho men came down with the suinllpox. They was nothing In tho llttlo book nbout( thnt, so Hi gave them tho treatment for cholera and HI brought 'cm nil through." At tills startling proof of his llttlo book's virtues ho glared at her de fiantly. Her expression set him off ngnin. "Hln England we'vo lots of good doctors, but they ain't nono In this country. They couldn't doctor n cat for nic." As he said this ho drew up at his own gate. A buxom young woman hur ried out from the side door nnd crossed tho lawn. "Oh, father," she said, "we Just got a letter from Aunt Sarah. Sho saya mother Is Hick in Bristol nud some of us had better como over nnd help tako caro of her." A tangled sentence of explosives bubbled from tho llttlo mnn's lips. "Get mo rug nud pnek n bag for inc. lll'm going to New York to-night. Thoso butchers over there will have her cut up and bottled If wo don't hurry." Mrs. Wilson wondered If ho would tnko his little book with him. TIRED A NEW BARBER. Lawyer' Krpcrlcnco with nit Ama teur Kultcht of the Hazor. ,'Tvo Just had u humorous but rather unpleasant experience," snld a well known lawyer yesterday. "It wasn't very funuy for mo while It lasted, but It taught mo n thing or two that I shall not forget In a hurry. This Is the way It happened: "I was over on the cxtrcmo East side this morning on business, but found my client out. His wife snld that he would bo homo In an hour or so. I needed n shave, so I hunted up a llttlo barber shop on tho next block. I had been there beforu nnd remembered tho shop as n clean one, whero one could get n really excellent shave. Rut I didn't know that the shop hud changed hands since my lost visit. I found that out later. " 'Doss out?' I asked, as a greasy young Italian renched for n still moro greasy appearing towel, "'No,' snid ho. 'I bought tho shop four days ago. Shave?' "'No,' said I, settling back In tho chair, 'I thought thnt I would drop In nnd havo a few teeth pulled.' "Now, I shouldn't have snld thnt. I sco my mistake now. Hut the remark did not appear to disturb him. Hu Just mixed up u sickly-looking lather nnd dnubed somo of It on my face that is, what did not go in my mouth went on my faco. " 'Have you any vnnilla or orange flavored soup?' I asked. 'I am partic ularly fond of thoso flavors. I don't like tho taste of the kind that you are using.' "Of course, that Is whero I made my second mistake; I shouldn't hnvo said that, but it didn't appear to affect him nt all. Ho got out a razor and stropped It up. I thought thnt that wns what ho was doing, but It seems thnt ho wns only putting on n snw edge. A saw edge cuts better, you know. At least the onu that ho tlxcd tip did. " 'I nm afraid that your saw Is a llt tlo dull to-day,' I remarked. 'Perhaps, If It Is not too much trouble, you will also clip a llttlo off of tbo other ear. I am 'afraid that I will look somuwhat one-sided.' " 'I havo not renched the other shlo yet,' he replied. 'Will you ojwu your mouth, please?' " 'What for?' I asked, but I had said enough. When my mouth opened he Jabbed his thumb lusldo so that ho could hold out my cheek. Reminded me of tho old-tlmoleutlsts when they wnnti'u to get nt a duck iooiu. -excuse mo n minute,' they would say, 'whllo I dislocate jour Jaw,' and then would hit you u thump and leuve your Jaw wldo open. "Hy this time I wns getting renlly In terested lu tho operation, and when jny friend tho barber murmured 'Eleven,' I asked him, 'Eleven what?' " 'Eleven times that I have cut a man to-day,' he explained, 'You see, I havo only been a barber for four days. I was a truck driver before that, and saved enough money to buy this shop. I mndo twenty-three slips the first day that I tried shaving; that wns twlco for everyH man that I shaved but one I cut him three times. I don't understand It. I used to shuve myself very well. I had begun to think that I was Improving, as I cut only nine men yesterday, I huve had only four customers to-day and have made eloven cuts. I seem to be going back.' "I thought that I saw a tear stealing down his face. I felt sorry for him. 'Draco up,' I said; 'perhaps In a day or two you will get your average down to one cut per man.' "Mnybo I didn't get out of that chair In a hurry. Dispensed with bay rum and brushed my hair myself. I gave him n quarter of a dollar and got four nickels In change. Then It dawned on me that I had bud my first, npd I hope my last, experience Jn ono of thoso live ceuta a clean-towel-wlth-every-shave places. "Webb Is going over there to see that client of mine on Monday. I nm going to send him to thnt shop to be shaved. "I hato Webb." New York Evening Sun. THE BIG. WOLF 8EEN AGAIN. A Mouatcr thnt Ilntiuts tho "Vood of North Wlvcotislu, John Rivers, onu of tho host-known guides of tho north Wisconsin country nud now 00, Is prepared to mnko mil- davit to tho existence of tho wolf known through it do-on of north woods counties ns Jumbo. Ho has known thu nulmnl for nearly ten years, but hns seen him only once. At that tlmo Jumbo wnH nomo dls tnnco uway and going between tho trees at a long-reaching trot Ho esti mates that tho wolf stood quite three feet high at tho shoulder and quali fies tho cstlmato with tho statement thnt tho height might havo been four feet. Ho believes that tho nnlmnl meas ures a good nlno feet from nolso to tall nnd will weigh probably MO pounds. That would mnko him a good deal larger than tho largest Groat Dane dog, and ho Is certainly much moro powerful. Jumbo Is of a dark grny color, llko most of. tho timber wolves, though they show some variety of hue, occa sionally running nenrly to black and from thnt to a dark brindled brown. Tho size of Jumbo's track Is sulllclunt uvldenco of his great height, length and heft. I This track Is larger than a mnn's hand spread nut flatly; Is, In fact, con- Hldornbly larger thnn tho track of tho 1 common black bear, nnd Is deeply In 1 dented, not only becausu of tho long unlls, but also because) of thu weight that tho feet nro supporting. Rivers hns seen the trail n dozen times, tho last tlmo crossing thu toto road from Flfleld towurd tho Mnson chain of hikes. Ho hns heard Jumbo's howl nud says that it Is both deeper and louder than tho ordinary hunting or mating call of tho timber wolf. Now York Suu. UNCANNY HAPPENING8. Little Things that AITrljjiit the Bonis of Men. "Speaking of tho llttlo things that af fright tho souls of men," suld a gent Io nian who lives uptown, "reminds mo of thu rather funuy cxporleuco a young lady of my neighborhood had a fow eveulngs ngo, Tho cxporleuco of tho young ludy lu question was hair raising so far as sho wuh concerned, and It Is doubtful If sho will ever again experience such n sensation. There was a brightly polished, prettily shaped couch shell on tho table lu her reading room. It had been brought from over tho Inko by tho younger brother, und being extraordinarily pretty It was given a place on tho ta bio lu tho reudlug room. The young ludy had been reudlug for some tlmo, when her eyes fell over ou the conch shell. Was tho thing really moving? She was not certain about it. Rut It looked that way. It was gradually slipping 01 cr tho edgo of tho tablo. Mnybo the tablo was tilted. No; It was uot. It was perfectly flat, perfect ly level. Sho could hear no rapping. Resides, she did not bollove In this ta ble rapping business, did not bellevo In spirits at all, lu fact. Rut tho conch shell was moving Just tho same, mov ing slowly, to be sure, but still moving. Her blood began to get cold. She called her mother Into tho room and asked her If sho could see tho shell moving. Sho suld that sho could. That sottled it. Tho young ludy was about to becomo frantic when her mother, who quickly divined tho reason, ex plained that there was a real lvo conch In tho shell. And suro enough there was.
