Who drives the horses of the sun
Shall lord it but a day;
Better the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.

The rust will find the sword of fame.
The dust will hide the crown;
Ay, none shall nail so high bis name
Time will not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet,
And left to heaven the rest.

HEY were two happy ghost lov
ers. and they had slipped dowu to
earth again to see how it fared
with earth-bound lovers now.
"Does It not seem strange, dearest,”
asked the girl ghost soltly, as they
floated along, hand in hand, just altove
the busy, material city of Chicago,
"that we were once bound to this nar
row earth, and had to depend upon
mere words for exchanging thoughts
and opinions?”
"Doyon retnemlicr, my darling.” was
the counter quest Ion of the man ghost,
"how we onee quarreled ami were es
tranged and unhappy for many months
liecause w e depended tqion mere words
for communication and misunderstood
tile rtieauing of the tricky things?”
."Poor children! How ally we were,
and yet how helpless,” sighed the girl
ghost, pityingly; "things are easier for
us In the Land of Shades.”
"I wonder do other mere earth lovers
have the same troubles now?” she
mused, a little later.
"Yes. dearest, always,” was the man
ghost’s smiling answer. “We may lie
sure of It. Love's ways are aye the
same.”
"If we find anv of them in trouble

“There was no need." said the num
ghost, tenderly, "our love was loo

silently and a little apart. The ghost
lovers rend the unuttensl thoughts
which kept the girl's eyes stern and yet |
tearful and the man’» lips tense.
"If he really loved me lie would see
that I am not cross, but only troubled,
ami he would comfort me with loving
words and caresses."
So ran the troubled meditation of the
girl
"If she really loved me she would
see that 1 am Worried to death over
business matters, and that I need Just
a little soothing mid comforting my
seif."
So the man was thinking, moodily.
"I think I will sa.v good night." he

voice was Just ns cold.

Thus the ghost man to his earth
brother.
“Once, a long time ago. I let my lov

This from the glipst girl to her earth

"Think! What If you should never

Next moment lioth had taken a step

their hands were clasped, the ghost
lovers gently lifting and pushing the
half-reluctant fingers into place. When
tlie girl's head went down on the man's
shoulder and the man’s arm went ten
derly around the girl’s waist, the ghost
lovers lookisl nt each other and smiled
happily. For love’s ways are aye the
same, In all times ami places.
"Kiss her. kiss her!” murmured the
man ghost to the masculine earth lov
er.
“Say something kind and loving.”
whispered the girl ghost to the other
maiden.
Then, when their soft commands had
been olieyed, all unknowingly, and all
was well lietween the earth lovers,
they joined hands onee more and float
ed off sweetly, their shadowy hearts
beating close together.
“They are happy.” said the girl ghost,
half wistfully, as they soared upward.
“So are we.” said the man ghost,
softly, and they drew even more close

Then they looked back and the lovers
were embracing.
“Love's ways are aye the same,"
said both ghosts, smiling.

Washington Relies.
One of the most Interesting relics In

the camp chest used by Washington
throughout the revolution. It is a com

wicker chest for cooking of the present

an outfit consisting of tinder box. pep

Most of the Celestials’ Guns Are Traps
-Hunting Tigers.
The Chinese shotgun or glngal has
never reached high enough develop
ment to be of much service iu hunting.
The barrels are cast, and many of the
cheaper ones look as If made of pot
metal. They are mounted on stocks
that look like exaggerated pistol han
dles. But the Chinese have never in
vented anything like the percussion
cap. Their guns have no triggers or
hammers; instead, there is at the base
of the barrel u small vent aiyl flush pan.
Over the stock is a holder shaped like
our hammers, made of soft steel and
split so as to hold between the two
Angers a piece of lighted incense or
punk. Iu order to use this weapon, the
Chinaman must till the Hash pan with
fresh powder, blow the ashes off ills
punk, take aim, and then with his
thumb push the holder forward until
the lighted end of the ¡»link touches
the powder in the flash pan. So un
certain is the weapon that the Chinese
rarely use it, except In pot-hunting for
ricebirds, blackbirds and that class of
game.
Most of the Chinese hunting is done
with traps, says Forest and Stream.
The moors and plains abound in par
tridge, grouse and rabbits, and the
Chinese take immense quantities of
them by means of nets and running
nooses. For large game they resort to
[»its and deadfalls.
It Is not generally known that the
mountains of north China abound with
bear, both black and brown, and that
leopards and tigers are by no means
uncommon. The so-called Siberian
tiger, which is the most magnificent
specimen of tlie cat family, far surpass
ing even tlie royal tiger of India, is
really a native of the mountain ranges
that lie between the plains of Mon
golia and Manchuria and the plains
about Pekin. In early days the hunting
of leopards and tigers was a feature of
the royal hunt, which sport reached Its
greatest popularity in the reign of the
Mongol dynasty during the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries. The Mflig
dynasty, which followed them, also
found many devotees of the chase, but
they confined their limiting to the les!»
dangerous pursuit of the deer, and es
tablished the magnificent deer parks
which nre now to be found near Pekin.
The famous decoration of the peacock
feather, which lias been the subject of
so maly International jokes in connec
tion with Li-Hung-Chang’s yellow
jacket, was originally awarded to those
members of the royal suite who suc
ceeded in killing a stag. The early em
perors of the present Manchu dynasty
were also gqeat sportsmen, but for the
last forty years the throne has been
occupied by minors, and the manly
pastime has fallen Into disuse.

SHAFT TO HEROES OF 1776.
Monument to the Revolutionary Dead
at Euptiratn, Pa.
The Euphrata Monument Association
of Euphrata. Pa., has petitioned the
State Legislature for an appropriation
with which to complete the unfinished
memorial shaft in Mount Zion ceme

the Fourth of July. 1843. for the pur
pose of erecting a suitable memorial on
Mount Zion, where nearly 200 revolu

in the Cloister Hospital at Euphrata,
where they were taken after the battle
of Brandywine, Sept. 11. 1777. Work
on a monument was begun soon after

was laid Sept. 11, 1845. Gov. Francis
