Two birds flew out of the South one day, And over the Joyous world ISach flttnjc a melody loud And sweet And gladly Its tired ng furled. And one bird high on the tnltat tree A place for It iinting found, While humbly the other built Its home Low down on the commou ground. A Shrike flew by and It saw the not That swayed In the branches high, Hut the tow built nct of tbo humble bird lie aaw not and paused It by. Which points the moral I wloh to show; Though fortune has cast your lot Low down In the world with the humble ones, The Ills that strike at the mansion oft paM orer the humble cot. San Francisco llullctln. IMPORTANT DISPATCH CrpIIB Kuibassy ltall nt Carlahren II was a very brilliant nffalr. Cecil w Ackcrson, who hated balls nud that sort of foolery, and only attend ed them becanso be was obllRed to do so by the ofllce -which Jic held, bad come to-night for a purpose. Cecil Ackcrson was a strong man. It was not till late In the festivities that he was able to approach Helena CJorrlnse, acknowledged beauty of the Kngllsb colony at Carlshren. She was engaged to young Vincent Kenyon Carstalrs, who bad been only six months appointed to a post at the embassy. Ackcrson was aware or tho engagement, but tho knowledge did not trouble him. "If you don't mind. Miss Gorrlnge. I would rather not dance," said he. Through the curtains that shaded their retreat five minutes afterward he could catch a glimpse of the light ed ballroom. Then Cecil Ackcrson was telling her that he loved her. Ills words came quickly, but bis" voice was very flrvi, and she was unable to stop blm. He said that be had never been a woman's man, and be bad never met a woman like her. Ills vehemence frightened ber, but she rose and turned on him with blazing eyes, telling him of her engagement to Ca retain. Cecil Ackcrson laughed and took ber back to the ballroom. On the morning lng after bis astonishing behavior to Miss Gorrlnge Ackcrson walked tav agcly to and fro In his private room at the embassy. He thought of In numerable schemes, but at length only came to the conclusion that Kenyon Cnrstalrs was In bis way. The next day or so Cecil Ackcrson had to leave such thoughts alone, for relations wero a little strained with the home country. The country of which Carlshren waa tho capital was small, but Important. The question of war even hinged on the proper con duct of these negotlatlono. And then the Idea came to blm by which he might put bis young rival right out of the running. He sent for Carstalrs. The latter came at once, wondering for what purpose his chief wanted him. "I have an Important dispatch here for borne, and I have selected you to carry It You will take the dispatch with you when you leave this evening. You will start to-morrow morning, and you should reach the coast by night. I find there is no night boat from Ilalcund, so you will have to stay there the night. I need hardly coun sel you to take great care of the dis patch, Carstalrs." "Yes." "Very well. Come to me tills even ing for tho dispatch. Vincent Carstalrs went to tell Miss Gorrlnge ho was going away for a day or so. He was full of his news. "You look happy," said she. "I am," Carstalrs replied. "The chief bad me up this morning and gave me instructions. I've got to- carry," be paused for effect, "an Important dl patch. Why, what's the matter? You seemed surprised." "Ob, nothing," said Miss Gorrlnge. "Did you say that Mr. Ackcrson gave you the dispatch?" "Of course; who else would?" "I wonder what a dispatch Is like?" asked Miss Gorrlnge, Innocently. "JiiBt an ordinary paper folded," said Carstalrs. "Would you like to look nt It?" He had been longing to show It nil the, time. He took tho shallow tin case from his pocket and unlocked It, and banded tbo case to her. Slio took It to tbo window to sco it better, and for a minute her back was toward blm. "Let me lock it," she said, and there was a little click. As she gave the case back she shuddered a little. llut when, later on, Carstalrs waited downstairs to say good-by, she camo suddenly into the dim hall. "Walt a minute hero'B something for you," and suo put a tiny envelope Into his hand. "It's a note from me, but yon're not to read It till you're on tho boat." "What's all this mystery?" said Car stalrs, laughing. "Never mind. Don't open it till you are on the boat. Good-by." UNCLE SAM'S QUERY. wmws "What's nil this fuss nhout? Seems to me you've given a pretty good ac count of yourself whenever called on." "Good-by," said Carstalrs. and was gone. At the Grand Hotel, Hnlzund, Car stalrs ordered dinner In a private room. Half an hour later the land lord came to htm with a long face. Ills house was crowded, he bad no room whatever, and a gentleman had Just arrived after traveling nil day; would Mr. Carstalrs be so good as to let the stranger dlno with him? Ho was ex tremely sorry to Inconvenleuce Mr. Carstalrs. "Not at altr said Carstalrs. and he sat down to dinner with a black-bearded man who had small, keen eyes. Carstalrs congratulated himself on having sneb a brilliant companion. Tbo stranger seemed able to talk on any subject whatever. After the meal they rang for coffee, and Carstalrs got up from his chair and went to his overcoat pocket for his cigarette case. As quick as light ning tho stranger leaned over tho table and a little dark powder slid into the glass. An hour had passed before Carstalrs came to himself. He experienced a sickening sensation of weariness as he oponed his eyes. Where was he? The lltter.of the dinner things still lay upon the table; two of the red-shaded candles had fluttered out. There were unpleasant shadows now In the comers of tho room, and knowledge crept steadily lock to him. The queer tast ing coffee he remembered, and there had been a stranger. Could It be pos sible? He sprang to his feet, with a white face, frantically unbuttoning bis coat Great heavens! the dispatch was gone. His thought went back to Nell Gor rings, and then suddenly be remem bered the strange manner of her good by to blm. Ho felt for the note In his pocket; and his face changed from night to morning as he read: "Dear Old Ken I had a carious Idea when you told me of your talsslon that you were rather too confident, and that something might happen to your dis patch. Bo I took a great liberty. Ken. When you put the tin caso Into my hands I took the paper; there wan nothing inside it. And I have sewn tho dispatch Inside tho lining of your overcoat pocket. NELL." Caratalra darted to bis overcoat, and his fingers tore nt tho lining of the pocket. Through the gnp he made showed something white. 11m next minute hu was waving the dispatch abovo his head In his excitement. Ho the dispatch waa carried safoly to Its destination, uid Kenyon Car stalrs and Nell Gorrlngs were married in tho spring. The black-bearded man was well on his way to Carlshren before Carstalrs -woke to consciousness, Cecil Ackcrson sat quietly In his chair, waiting the arrival of his mes senger. He turned slightly as tho door opened. Tho man with the black beard and tho keen eyes placed something care fully on tho table. He was smiling In a satisfied kind of way. Ackcrson took It from tho table, and a key clicked In tho lock of tho case. Tho next minute ho sprang to his feet. "You buve brought tno an empty case, you fool!" ho cried, and living It, rattllug, open and empty, to tho lloor. Now York News. I v i" "NVV "" V IIC HOLDS THE RECORD AS SCIIOOE SUPERINTENDENT B. It. Netley has been public school superintendent of St. Joseph, Mo., for tblrty-ulue years and Is still alive.

Mr. Neeley took bold of the public schools shortly after the war, and his first pupils were lodged In buildings that bad been tired ns stabler by (Kith Union and Confederate soldiers. Now St, Joseph has thirty-three modern school houses, with '.WO teachers. Iu splto of what be has gone through, Mr. Neelejr is bale nnd hearty and seems gifted with perenulnl youth.

Carton Habits of tba Laborers In tba Vlowarr KinsKlom. According to tho Idea of the new world the Japanese do nearly every thing back-handed, or Just tho reverse from what we work. Tiie contrasts between our civilization and that of Japan may be Illustrated by giving a list of some of their everyday cus toms and Ideas. For example, says the Detroit Tribune, a person who Is very fat Is admired In Japan. Wed dings are celebrated at night; the husband and wlfo do not cat togeth er, as a rule; kissing and shaking hands are practically unknown. A antae carpenters pull tho plane toward ward, is their modo of flirtation. Jap aueso carpenters pull the plant toward them; the threads of their screws turn to tho left; their keys turn In ward. Kmall children are strapped on tlio backs of larger ones, and so tarried about; tho Japanese sit down before distinguished men, In token of respect; they remove their shoes when they enter n house; their books be gin at tbo right and their footnotes aro placed at the top of the page; they wrlto vertically down a sheet of pa por; their color for mourning Is white; tho best rooms In their house aro In tbo rear; they back a homo In a stall and bitch hlin In tho front and so these opposite ways of doing things might bo continued.
