to her. At dinner also she sat opposite
him at the table. He paid little atten
tion to the .fair visitor, as his mind was
engrossed with a problem ia his lessons;
However, his brothers were as assiduous
as possible in entertaining her., .As it
happened, the latter had -engagements
out that evening, .and, as Mrs. A. had
f promised Mies B. to'haye one of her sons
take her to the .theater, it fell to-the lot
Of my friend George, the IJarvard man.
He accepted the situation gracefully,
mod in due. time the vounsr counle set off
" tat. the .theatre. Arriving, George left
Ids companion at one side of the lobby.
while he stepped np to the box office and
purchased the tickets; then, turning
. about, he looked toward the place- where
Tie had parted from the young lady, and
was surprised to see half a dozen there,
nd ye gods! is it possible? he could
not tell' which was his precious charge!
Here was a dilemma. -. ,

him an age, bat was probably only a

A Story from the American Indian.
- - Many years ago a boy found a beauti
ful snake, so an Indian legend runs. He
kept it in a bowl of water and took no
tice that small feathers dropped into the
receptacle became living beings. He
experimented and discovered that what
ever be put into the water became alive.
' . He rubbed some of this snake water on
Jiis eyes and found that he could see
things that were-actnally hidden in the
KrJundV' Concluding, that "he would
make the. liquid more powerful bypnt-
" ting more snakes into it, he hung up a
number of serpents bo that their oil
jdropped into the water.' By putting

his mouth he could breathe fire, and by
placing some of it in his eyes he could
see in the dark.
. At will he could transform himself
into a serpent, could become invisible
and could travel at an incredible "rate of
. speed. An arrow dipped into the liquid
and shot at any living being, even if it
did -Tinfc Tilt jfa rV-i Hfr mnnlii navavfliA.
' less kill it. A -feather dipped into this
snake water and pointed at any game
would immediately start for the latter
ana slay it. ., This boy became in this
manner a great wizard. Washington

Tl Evolution of the Sword.
' A men in at-?v HmM fmnlkf V.
. band, the oldest specimens of. the sword
are short; in fact, the sword is probably
but an evolution of the club, which at
first made of hard wood was gradually
sharpened on one and than nn nf Vi oirtou
' -J V. 'HVM .U
so as to inflict a more deadly wound.
" Even today we find some savage races
employing wooden weapons. Wood
gave way to stone, which in turn was
displaced by bronze, iron and finally
.steel. - ' .
The sword increased in length as men
became more civilized and showed a dis-
, position to" fight farther away from each
other, wmcn required more dexterity in
the use of the weapon. Some specimens
we have of swords of the.Middle Ages are
almost if not quite as long as the war
xiors wno -wieloed them. During the
Fifteenth century .the science of fencing
. was invented, when the sword in the
form of a rapier reached the highest
point - of ' development. Kate Field's

Unasked Sympathy..
I cannot touch a piece of .velvet with
my fingers or permit the furry side, of a
peach skin to touch my lips without ex-
periencing immediately a sort of cold
chill all over my person. It is not so
very severe, but it is unpleasant. Still I
would prefer to living forever under the
ban of such a chill than to be compelled
to meet once a day one" of -those -oleaginous
bundles' of insincerity and pretense,
- the unctuous and effusive, chap who
- thinks you are not properly treated and
never loses an opportunity to tell you so.'
Of course Lam aware I am not properly
appreciated,: but I detest being told of
the fact -by another person, who never
lifts a finger ia my behalf, Aid who only
wags his tongue in my favor when Lam

Flayed Card Daring: the Service..
There is great excitement 'at Wingate,
Ind., over the arrest of a young man and
a young woman for playing "seven up"
at a meeting in the Christian church on
Sunday evening. Adolphus Ochletree
and Miss Mary Prudy are lovers, and
went to church together, that evening.
Not enjoying the prayers and songs,
Adolphus tore the backs off a number of
singing books and manufactured a deck
of cards on the spot. -The young people
then played "seven up." - They were ar-
rested and fined, both pleading guilty.
