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! -

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."
The clrls chaffed Helen a bit In the
dressing room because her rich cava-

Father of the administration anti-trust bill
HON. SHELBY M. CULLOM OF ILLINOIS.
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.

In the least angry; in fact she appear

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

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. One shop never sends out a garment without embroidered ini
tials and feather stitching on it, and another devotes its energy to decorating
the legs of man's socks with silk initials and other needlework.

ODD HORSE SALE.
Valuable Amlmal Disposed of by Mir
take for Fi-ve lollars.
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

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

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

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.

The Future. The future has never
saved any man. If he is saved at all.
It was In the present now. We have
no lease on the future; no. It Is dan

Material Good. Make It your first

did love another man who was very

straighten it out?
