LOVE TRIUMPHANT. Hclpn'B lips ate d'ifting dust; Ilion is consumed with rust; All the galleons of Greece Drink the ocean's dreamless peace; Lost Was Solomon's purple show Restless centuries ago; Empires died' and left no strain Babylon, Barbary, and Spain . Only one thing, undef aced, Lasts, though all the worlds lie waste, And the heavens are overturned. Dear, how long ago we learned! There's a sight that blinds the sun, Sound that lives when sounds are done, Music that rebukes the birds Language lovelier than words. Hue and scent that shame the rose. Wine no earthly vineyard knows. Ocean more divinely free Than Pacific's drainless sea. Silence stiller than the shore Swept by Charon's stealthy oar Ye who live have learn't It true. Dear, how long ago we knew! - Harper's Magazine. Cradle or Grave. BS. ARMSTRONG'S modest lit tle home was ablaze with light. The proud lady was giving a small dance to celebrate her only son's homecoming from college; and Teddy, why, he was the happiest young fel low in the world! And why not? Had he not Just .emerged from the univer sity with colors flying, and was he uot about to ask the girl of his heart to gladden his hearthstone for life? His mother had said to him during the day: "Don't be too sanguine, Ted dy, for Helen has been accepting at tentions from Mr. Hawtrey during the last few months, and he is rich and world-weary, and Just the sort of man to fascinate a young girl fond of flat tery and position." "Helen loves me, I'm sure," replied confident Ted, "and, besides, she would not sell herself." "Well, my dear, I hope you are not to be disappointed, but the ways of the girl-of-the-period are beyond me. You remember Mabel Coulter?" 'Oh, Mabel was a flirt," broke In Ted, "and it was not to be expected that she would marry the man she had led on; but Helen I only want her word that she'll wait until I've made my future sure. She's true blue!" As for the young lady herself, the felt sure that Teddy Armstrong would propose that night; and, though she confessed that her heart was In a state of commotion when she thought of him, still it would be awful nice to be Mrs. Bruce Hawtrey and live in the big mansion, have all sorts of luxuries and travel in Europe. ' And Mr. Hawtrey. He was a wid ower, old enough to be Helen's father, and was voted to be something of a cad. "The little Vernon fllly," he had remarked, "has lots of go, and a young wife would be a novel plaything, now that my clubs and life in general are getting to be something of a bore." The guests had all arrived, and ev erything was very Jolly. Helen Ver non, Mr. Hawtrey and Ted were cov ertly watched by all, as gossip had it that both men were '!dead set" on winning-the pretty belle of M . I One rotund dowager leaned toward her neighbor and remarked: "Teddy is so young-and Hawtrey so old that It seems a race between the cradle and the grave," accompanying her words with a mirthless laugh that made the sentimental young matron she address ed, and who hoped that young Arm strong would be victor, nervous, i Hawtrey; who, to do him Justice, was not so near the grave as the old gossip Implied, took more of Helen's dances than good form allows, and ulso assumed an air of proprietorship that made the younger man wild. He forgot everything, and resolved, im petuously to have it out with Hawtrey, quite improperly forgetting that the blase gentleman was his mother's guest and entitled to every courtesy. After his rival's second dance with Helen, Teddy approached him and fcaid with a sort of challenge in his voice: "Come upstairs, Hawtrey. I hare some capital cognac in my rooms. I'd like your opinion of It." "Done, my boy," replied the older n.an suavely. Scarcely had they reached the rooms when Teddy began hotly: "Now see here Mr. Hawtrey " But he got no farther. Hawtrey placed one hand on the fiery boy's slioulder and observed coolly: "I know what you would say; but let us not be impolite or hasty. She's mine if she will or she's yours If she will. Go In and win her, if you can. Remember, I'll show you no quarter 'all's fair in love.'" "But she loves me, she's only daz zled by your money," asserted Ted, with amazing frankness. "I don't care whom she loves; It is whom she will marry that. interests me," answered the older man, with a cool stare. "By heavens, would you marry a girl that only " "I would marry any girl to whom I took a notion. If the mood pleased me. Love is an old-fashioned commodity. Ask Helen. Mr. Armstrong, when you get a chance; I mean to, during this next dance." Poor Teddy was stunned. Ills Ideals were pure, and he very properly re carded honor, love and respect as a holy trinity. Suddenly an Idea seemed to strike him. " 'All's fair In love, you say," he re marked curtly, and strode from the room, saying in a very low voice, as he passed his big mastiff, who was dozing on a rug, "Watch him, Duke!" The next waltz was half ended when Ted strolled up to Miss Vernon and paid, in a tone of mock surprise: "Why! Helen, you of all people to be sitting out a dancer The pretty girl blushed and looked a bit annoyed. "Mr. Hawtrey engaged.,the number; evidently he has forgotten me," she replied. "Finish It with me?" -With pleasure." nawtrey did not appear again that evening, and many were the comments txcause of his stranee disappearance; but Teddy looked supremely happy, for the girl Of his heart had said "les."

HE "father" of the administration anti-trust bill, which embodies the President's ideas, is Hon. Shelby M. Cullom, United States Senator from Illinois. Senator Cullom Is author of the measure which pro vides for amendments to the Sherman law, fixing a penalty for monopolizing any line of business to the detriment of the" public, perpetual restraint from carrying on interstate commerce and imposing a fine of $5,000 on railroad companies which convey articles upon which a monopoly exists. Senator Cullom is a native of Kentucky and is 73 years old. He was a member of Congress as far back as 18G5, was Governor of Illinois from 1876 to 1880 and was elected United States Senator in 1883, serving continuously since then. Prior to this he had seen service in the State Legislature, serv ing as a member of the Lower House and as Speaker for two sessions. In 1872 he placed Grant in nomination for President. Her had deserted his-principal part ner; but the young lady did not seem In the least angry; in fact she appear ed, as one pert damsel said, "deadly superior." After the last guest had gone, Ted bounded upstairs four steps at a time and burst Into the room. Duke drew a long breath of relief and removed the earnest regard with which he had been favoring Hawtrey, who had not apparently moved from his chair had not dared to niove, In fact. "Why, Hawtrey, are you here yet? Every one thought you had gone and wondered why," said the young man, affecting all the surprise possible, while the victorious twinkle played in his eyes. But Hawtrey was game. He never flinched, but replied in his cool, color less drawl: "Really, I did not know I was of so much importance. The truth Is that this little book is so interesting, and your brandy so excellent, that I decid ed not to leave this comfortable spot." "Hope Duke didn't annoy you?" pointedly from led. "Not in the least. He seems a faith ful dog." "He is." "Good night, Mr. Armstrong." "Good night, Mr. Hawtrey." Soon as the door had closed on Haw trey, Ted grabbed Duke by the fore legs, and man and dog executed the maddest and merriest dance on record. Then, hugging his dumb slave, Ted cried: "You watched him all right, didn't you, old boy? Well, you saved my life, perhaps; so lie there on the rug or anywhere and snooze all night. The stable Is too good for your dogship after this." The next day the enga'gement of Miss Helen Vernon and Mr. Theodore Armstrong was announced, and In the same sheet might be seen a few lines that read: "Mr. Bruce Hawtrey leaves DANDIES ADOPTING j European dandies are adopting women's wear. Corsets are a case In point. There have been little paragraphs In the London papers every now and then for the last few months touching upon the Increasing demand for men's corsets. During a trial in Paris between the partners of a corset firm the defense revealed that one of the branches of their manufacture were men's corsets. The Judge having demanded an explanation it was shown that more than 1S.000 corsets were made yearly for Frenchmen and 3,000 were shipped to England, principally for army officers. German officers also created quite a demand till a rival Berlin firm offered a cheaper article. Any Bond 6treet dealer will tell you, without the slightest hesitation, that he employs dozens of workwomen to embroider dainty garments for his male clients.

"Hawtrey told me, Helen," explained Ted, later on, while both were laugh ing over the Incident, "that all's fair in love, so I took him at his word." "I hated him ever since the day he spoke of me as 'fllly,' and was only waiting for a chance to refuse him. I wouldn't have had him, anyway, ' re plied Helen.

A famous race horse, for which an offer of $900 had been refused at the recent Bennlrig meeting, was sold for $8 the other day at a well-known local auction house, and then sold by the purchaser for ?5.. The horse In ques tion belonged to a well-known young society man of Baltimore, who entered the animal at the Benning races. The horse proved valuable as a fast runner by winning several races. The owner was offered $900 for the horse, which he refused, saying that he would not take less than $1,000. He then decided to bring the animal to Baltimore and sell it at public auction at a leading auction stable. After no tifying his friends who wished to buy the horse of his Intentions the young man brought the racer to Baltimore and left him with his stable boy. Instruct ing him to take the horse to the auc tion house. ' The young man then repaired to the place of auction, where his friends were congregated. In the rain they waited for the appearance of the boy with the steed, but he did not show up until the party had bad a wait of about two hours or more. When he did, he did not have the horse with v.,, t . i,w ,0v tnr Sfi ' , , . , i oiiu a. uui oi sale. 11 ouuu i boy made a mistake in the name of the auction bouse and took the horse to the wrong stable, where It was of fered for sale, bringing $8, with a de duction of $2 for the auctioneers, leav ing $6 for the former owner of the horse. After having a heart-to-heart talk with the boy, in which he ex pressed himself thoroughly, the horse's first owner went to the auction house where the valuable horse had been sold at such a ridiculously low price. When he arrived he could do no more than obtain the name and address of the man to whom the horse had been sold. This well-known young man did not succeed In finding the buyer of1 his I UUIB UlllU U1C UCAl uaji C&UU TT UU he did It was only to nna tnat tne horse had been sold by the buyer for a lower price than he had paid for it. The horse had never been in harness, and when the gentleman who bought It harnessed it it kicked up a good deal, but did not become unmanage able until the man had driven it about five miles from town; then the floor was kicked out of the runabout and the harness broken. The purchaser, of course, did not know that the horse had racing qualities, and thought that i o il ranfntr nnallnaa arm thnmrht thflt he had been bunkoed into buying a horse that looked fully 5 years old, but had not been broken. When he found himself suddenly sit ting In the road, with a broken-up run about his company and his. horse Just disappearing in a cloud of dust over a distant hilltop, he can hardly be blamed for not caring whether he ever saw the brute again. However, while thus soliloquizing, a man came down J T Za If-f J?,Iy.7 that he had Just caught. The pur chaser was so thoroughly disgusted with the animal that he sold it to the man in the wagon for $5. When asked if he knew the man to whom he had sold the horse he said that he had never seen him before and did not even think he would recognize him if he saw him again. The young man has been trying to locate his horse for several days, but has not succeeded in doing so as yet. Baltimore American. CALIFORNIA OLIVE CULTURE.

Recently we purchased 3,000 acres additional land that adjoins the orchard from which -we are now gathering fruit Two thou- sand of these will be planted, and we think we have one of the best revenue producing properties going.

It is not in the South that the rich est negroes are found, although many in that region have amassed, a goodly store of property since the war.

There are about 7,000 of them, and they are worth on an aver age $3,000 each. The wealth of the more Industrious foots up ever higher, certain individuals being the owners of from $10,000 to $15,000 worth of land each These negroes are the descendants of slaves of the Creek tribe of Indians and are known as Creek negroes. They are entitled to a share In the division of Creek Indian lands, also a part of the trust funds. Together the 7.000 ne groes own 22,000,000 acres of land.
