The ease with which a simple thing can work harm if overdone and the eter nal vigilance needed to eecore the safety of children are exemplified in a Bad oc currence recently reported. Lat fall a little girl of bix ,ded after several weeks' illness of spinal meningitis. The child's death was undoubtedly due to overexercise - of the most quiet sort. From early epring she had accompanied the nurse daily, both morning and after noon, up and down the long shady street ,on wlnci her parents home stood, walking qnietly, but continuously, a' the side of the carriage of her infant brother. The baby thrived and grew fut on his restful airing, but the little girl, as the summer waned, 1 showed weakness and languor, which developed into pronounced disease and ended. in death. ' . ' , . The physicians decided that the child's f pine must have been naturally weak, but the persistent walking was a serious tax ut any rate, and had in this case pro duced a mortal result. .A significant fact in the mutter was. the utterance of the doctors that romping about the lawn iu brief periods, with intervals of rest, w. ii i Id not tave been so harmful as the uiouotonous tramping. Her Point of View in New York Times. What Mrle ttoze Is Dotag-. That popular prima donna, Mme. Marie Roze, who has for nearly twenty years been a. favorite both in this coun try and the United States, proposes to retire from the English operatic stage and will winter in Paris, where she has taken a large flat for the purpose of holding classes for English, French and American students in operatic singing aud acting. Mme. Roze is rightly of opinion that operatic deportment and acting are neglected in the rush to crowd as much knowledge of vocalism as is possible into the short time which artists now give themselves for prelim inary study. , . V . Consequently debutantes come before the public half trained and almost in variably as inexperienced and incompe tent actresses. Mme. Roze has deter mined that the study of operatic acting snail go hand in hand with the study of singing, and she will thus inaugurate a very necessary reform. London Figaro. BICYCLES. Swift, tight.

Such were the words of a fair, pale girl as she clung to the arm of a tall, handsome man in the dimly lighted parlor of her fa ther's home. He was such a man as women love, and this fair girl loved him. They had been sweethearts for months, and the day was approaching when their plighted truth was to be redeemed. Into her heart a doubt had come, and it had found expression in the opening words ot this chapter.' - "Darling," he said chidingly, "how fool ishly yon talk! You know I do not." "But you do, dear," she Insisted. "I have been watching you. and I have seen it." "How could you?" he contended tenderly. "There is no one in all the world I love as I do you." ' . She gazed fondly into his handsome eyes, laid her soft, white hand caressingly on his rich brown hair and whispered her words of admiration into his willing ear, until he was so inflated with pride that the buttons on his beautifully fitting coat began to stretch their necks. "How silly of my little girl to say her Georgie loves another!" he smiled as he looked down into her sweet face. She shook her head no less doubtfully than before. "Come now," he coaxed, "tell me who this person" is I love more than I do you." ' , She was silent. "Tell me," he murmured, taking her in his arms. "Yourself, George," she sighed hopeless ly, for she was onto her Georgie, and she knew that such a love was unchangeable from the cradle to the grave. It is a difflcultsmatter, dear reader, for a handsome man to be in love with anything else, and don't you forget it, especially if you are a woman. Detroit Free Press. A Familiar Domestic.

Truth.; COLORADO'S GOVERNOR. Has Published Newspapers In Three States and Otherwise Distinguished Himself. In these days a good deal ot interest cen ters about the personality and procedure of Davis H. Waite, governor of Colorado, and a short unbiased account of his career may not come amiss to those who are unable to ascertain such facts for themselves. The governor was born in Chautauqua county, N. Y., and comes of a good family. He was educated at the famous old James town academy in the days before it had achieved the dignity of a "collegiate insti tute," and when his school days were over commenced the career of a journalist. For many years he was proprietor and editor of the Jamestown Daily Journal, and he was well advanced in life-when he sold the pa per out and removed to Kansas. He first located at Lamed when the town was a collection of small one and two story frame dwellings, and the house which he built was noticeably the finest residence in the place. He interested him- GOVERNOB WAITE. self in Kansas politics and was elected tt the legislature, where he served one term. The mineral discoveries of the early eight ies attracted his attention to Colorado, and in 1881 he "packed" a printing plant into the mountains to Ashcroft, near Aspen, then the newest mining town in the state, where for a time he issued a small weekly called the Ashcroft Herald. When it became evident that Aspen was destined to become a bigger town than Ashcroft, Mr. Waite went there and estab lished the Aspen Times. This paper has since become a daily and now belongs to Governor Waite's son-in-law, B. Clark Wheeler, who is a mining man, a state sen ator and a personage of considerable influ ence in the Populist party. Mr. Waite married a second time when he was about 60 years old and is now the father of a boy young enough to be his grandson. His wife was a widow with grown children, and one of her sons; Harry Maltby, is now the governor's stenographer. . In Aspen Governor Waite was particu larly noted for his opposition to drunken ness, gambling and other forms of vice, and as justice of the peace he was especially severe upon those guilty of such offenses. In politics he was formerly a Republican, but since the inception of the Populist movement he has been one of its most vig orous supporters; In common with most Coloradans he is in favor ot the free coin age of silver, and it was at a convention of silver men that he made his famous "bloody bridles" speech, as it has since come to be designated. : ' Arrested by His Wife. "Is the officer in command in?" asked a women in the Twenty-second district station after she had pushed a large sized man up the stone steps from the sidewalk. "He is," said the lieutenant, advanc ing toward the woman. ' . "Well," said t the woman, and she clung with a tighter grip to the man's coat collar, "this is my husband, Jona than Foster, who has failed to support me for several months. When he gets his money he spends it and refuses to give me any of it. I resolved to prose cute him, and had a warrant issued for his arrest by Magistrate Pole last March. The police were unable to arrest him, and I myself have performed the task." When Mrs. Foster finished her re marks she handed the warant to Lien tenant Wolf and informed him that her husband was a pensioner. . Foster was ' searched and forty-five dollars of pension money was found on him, and a few seconds afterward when the celi door closed him between stone walls his wife walked out of the station house looking highly pleased.
