In The Gloamin?. Wheu the dusk is slowly creeping, shutting out the glare of day ; When the evening star in beauty trembles with refulgent ray; Wfcec the violets' dewy fragrance subtly soothes the sting of pain? Then the mind turns inward, backward, to the joys of youth again. ftn that hour of dear communion with the voices of the past Haunting memories throng upon us, bringing joys too sweet to last: All the anguish of the present for a little space is tiown And the soul goes forth unfettered to a king dom of its own. There is pain in the awaking when the hush of night is past. And the morning brings its sorrows, and our dreams ure overpast: But the dear God sends His childreu, lest in trouble they forget, Glimpses of foretasted heaven nightly wheu the sun has set ?Anna C. Porter in Philadelphia Record. Goo-Goo Eyes. Is it or is it not one of the in alienable rights of womankind to make goo-goo eyes? We have long been inclined to the affirmative sideof thispropo sition. An experience of some sixty odd years upon this terres trial sphere has tended to con , vince us that fair woman not only has the right to use hereyes for purposes of gentle and airy flirtation, but that she can no more help exercising that right than she can help looking into every mirror that happens within the range of her blessed vision. it comes, tnereiore, as some thing of a shock to notea determ ination 011 the part of some of fthose in power to curtail this right. For instance, the sub joined sign hung prominently in the office of a firm with which for mer Governor Asa Bushnell, of Ohio, heof the flowing moustache and silken tresses, is connected, is interesting. It is designed for the stenographers and other em ployees : "This is no courting salon nor millinery shop. Cut out the goo-goo eyes and attend strictly to your desk duties or prepare to meet the execu tioner." There was a time when Gover nor Bushnell was making goo-goo eyes at Buckeye voters, but the masculine proclivity to lord it over feminine creation must as sert itself, and now he is found in the ranks of theanti-goo-gooites. The " Diary of Adam, which Mark Twain has preserved in the interest of the human race, re veals the fact that the father of us all started the fashion of deny ing to woman the privileges he took unto himself, and the fashion has been faithfully followed by the sons of Adam since the old man's day. But this goo-goo eye business? aren't they going a little too far who seek" to draw the line at that? We believe they are; we are on the side of the woman. And, in cidentally, it gives us jov to see that the problem is to be solved by the courts. A charming and attractive chorus girl?they are all charming and attractive in print?was dismissed a few days aince because she refused to obey the order of a hard-hearted man ager that there must be no flirt ing with the bald-head row. What are bald-head rows for, anyway, if not to be flirted with? The rights of the hairless man are involved in this particular case, and, indeed, in this whole goo-goo eve controversy; for if he is not to have eyes made at him once in a while his excuse for living Will 111) lUllgf I VAIKIi. But we digress. Very properly has the sweet young thing of the chorus brought suit against that manager for heavy damages. There can be no possible doubt that in making goo-goo eyes she was clearly within her rights. In the interest of justice, we hope her lawyers will get a jury of bald heads, for the bald-headed man will stand by the chorus girl every day in the year?and some nights. ?A tlanta Constitution. Vaccination Stops Wedding. Miss I'rescot is the Plymouth , < Pa.) girl whom vaccination pre vented from becoming a bride, i A few days ago she started for j Wilkesbarre with her intended husband to secure a marriage iii ;ense. She had been vaccinated and wore a pasteboard shield to Erotect her sore arm. Andrew Intil, her lover, did not know this. He saw the queer-looking lump on her arm and playfully jabbed it with his thumb. The shield broke. Miss I'rescot shrieked with pain, and, seizing her umbrella, sne belabored An drew until other passengers on the train were forced to interfere in his behalf.

The time has already come when the specially prepared man is in demand. The tragedy of our times is that of the half-educated man and the half-educated woman. There is 110 persor so helpless as the one who depends on a general instead of a special. A man may get a job but he can't do noble work unless he is prepared. Things do not go by | chance or fortune. We settle our destinies by the specific capaci ties we have. Skill is conscience applied to a man's work. If a man is slovenly in his work, he has not a working conscience. Let a man's righteousness work down through his fingers. No man is honest who does his work for pay. The battle of Manila was not won at Manila, but at Hong Kong and still more at Annap olis. All battles are won in the hour of preparation. Many a man wins the battle of life before he fights it. 1 would that some one would write the romances of American education. The finest thing about America is the opportunity of young men. The history of our education has been the progress of the poor boys, their difficulties to a fine culture. These strug gles make us hopeful of the fu ture A man is fortunate when he finds his work and his fun to be the same thing. Thegreat thing is to make life interesting. Every one of us is born into limitations. No man can understand the 20th century who does not know the past centuries. Education lights up the past for us. Our ancestors live in us. No man in public life is so unsafe as he who does not know the progress of thedevelop inentof thehumanrace. Wemust know the leaders, the prophets, the poets, the creators. Every man is a bigger r un for knowing I'lato and Shakespeare and Burke and all the poets of the past. The only way to emancipate our self from the present is to know the past. We are all born into the limita tions of personalities. A man must travel out of himself. That which makes the great men great is, their ability to get into the lives of other people. Liteiature is the product of those who have seen into the life of the human race. Kipling had the power of going into the people of India. W'e are coming in to a time when all parts of the world can be in sympathy with each other. An tagonism is due to ignorance. We are coming into an age of new understandings, a broader knowledge of history and litera ture. God has decreed that the prizes come to those who win them. Education is the divine process of life?the first of probable inter ests and the first of individual privileges. ? Hamilton Wright \labie, of New York, in Commence ment Address, Trinity College, June 4, 1901. Crushing: a "Masher." No public nuisanee is more com mon than the iu;uj who ogles every woman on the street. One of these individuals was riding on a street car the other day, when he saw a young woman ui 4-U~ 4- i :J~ i.: m, ? i i ..i. tiit? Bent uesiue lyiu tryingt/U uui ton a tight glove. She was hav ing a hard time at the task. The Nuisance thought to himself, as usual, that his fair neighbor must have taken notice of Wm, al though she had given no sign of it. So addressing her of the glove, he said: "Let me help you to button it; I am very good at that sort of thing.'' The young woman looked Mr. Nuisance over, hesitated a mo ment, and then extended her hand. The Nuisance, after some tugging, succeeded in fastening the refractory glove. The hand was withdrawn. Then it slipjied itself into a small purse, took out a dime, and was extended again. "Oh, no!" exclaimed the Nui sance astounded. "I didn't doit for nay." The hand went back into the purse, and this time it came out with a silver quarter of a dollar. "I'm sure that will lie enough," said the young woman, as she forced thecoin into his hand and made a hurried exit from the car.?New York Times.

Hare & Son, J. R. Ijedbetter, Hood Bros. THE THIRTEENTH IMMORTAL Will Rostand have'the nerve to occupy a scat which bears the fatal number Id? This is a question which many Frenchmen are now asking, and the , reason is because it is regarded as practically oertain that the distin , guished dramatist will soon be elect ed a member of the French acado rav, and if so he will most probably be assigned to a sect which bears the number 13. There are at present four empty ' scats in the academy, and they are respectively numbered 25, 7, 13 and 14. Of these the first two have al ready been awarded to Messieurs Emile Faguet and Berthelot, and they will at an early date take pos session of them amid appropriate ceremonies. The seat numl>ered 13 was that of the Viscount llenri de Bornier, and that numbered 14 was that of the Due de Broglie. The number 13, however, appears more than once on this occasion, for it is pointed out that M. Emile Faguet will be the thirteenth oocu pant of the seat numbered 25. Potent is superstition even in the twentieth century, and there are many persons who have a -horrible j foreboding that ill luck in some form will surely come to two of the four new members of the ncademy? namely, to the one who occupies the seat numbered 13 and to M. Faguet, who will be the thirteenth to occu py the seat numbered 25. Where Lambs Are Fleeced. The New York Stock Exchange at present has a membership of 1,100. Several years ago it was in creased to that number from 1,000. ! According to the present market price, each scat has a value of $70, 000 cash. The total membership, therefore, represents in money a sum equal to $77,000,000. Inlnddition to the market value of memberships there should be added the sum contained in what is known as the gratuity fund, also the other assets of the exchange, i which together aggregate about $10,000,000. The actual market value, there fore, of all the memberships in the Stock Exchange is equal to about $85,000,000. This represents an in crease at the rate of about $1,000, 000 a year since a few brokers as sembled together under a button wood tree near the Battery for the purpose of swapping stores and j stocks.?New York Press. Prairie Fire Guards. One of the methods of protecting broad grass lands from fire is to burn a swath called a "fire guard" around the area to be protected. A Montana stockman suggests that this offers a good opportunity for inventors to devise a machine which, passing over the ground like a horse j rake, shall burn the grass clean from a space about eight or ten feci in J width. Already an apparatus of : this kind has been invented, using gasoline to set the grass on fire and a train erf steel brushes to?extinguish it before it has spread beyond the proper limits, but the stockman ; thinks that a cheaper machine can be made. "Fire guards" 50 miles or more in length are desirable. Japanned English. A jewe^r in Yokohama sends this card to prospective English speak ing customers: "Jewelry Maker. A finest in town. Whiskyboy.

Versatile "Labby." According to The Free I.ance of London, Ilenry Labouchere has been emperor of Mexico and presi dent of the French republic. He happened to land at Vera Cruz on the day on which the ill fated Maxi milian was expected and was escort ed with great pomp by cavalry. He did not explain the mistake until he reached the capital. Again, while a "besieged resident" in Paris, he strolled into the Hotel de Ville and found the commune electing a pres ident aaiid violent discord. Mr. Labouchere proposed himself.
