THE SU3I21EB GIRL.
Thc Summer Oiri is coming home,
All browned, and plump and jroy,
Prepared to make the winter seem
Extrcfnely nice and easy.
She"? b:thed, aad daneed, and walked, and
sailed,
A nd read a book, and flirted.
-Till to the younsr nin she has left
The whole Trorjd seems deserted.
The flush of health is on her cheeks,
Wish fun her eyes are dancing;
Th flush of conquest in her heart
Makes life seem most eutraneiug.
Ah, soon she'll be thcWinter Girl,
And vre-ehall bow before her;
For she was made to be adored,
Aiidf therefore, we adore her.

of postoffice business and the other was
to receive applicants for the position
Well, there was quite a rush for 'let

there for the job. In order to facili
tate matters I had two lilies formed,
one of them on the right, the other on

"Everything ran along smoothly.
The letters were given out ou the one
hand, and as favorable men appeared
for the position they were told ou the
oilier hand to pasinto a little room.
"Finally a young and splendid look

head up to the window, and 1 said, see

"Well, in about an hour-1 went into
the loom and examined one applicant
after another physically and mentally
until at last t he young Irishman Came
up for examination.
"The physician I had with me made
a partial examination, and was so fav
orably impressed that he requested the
irishman to step in another room and

Siyras of ;t Mild Winter.
There wre alreadv
meteorological
signs ot a jnil-ji winter hereabouts.
Snipe, the tellers in the congress of
weather birds, have been Keen to fly
South. Swallows stayed North three
weeks after their regular time to leave,
and that is regarded as another sign of
an open winter. Robins are still lin
gering north of the Potomac, and
would have flown South 10 days ago,
the weather sharps declare, if they
hadn't felt in suclrbones as they are
possessed of that we are going to have
a late fall and a warm winter. A
woodcock shot in Pennslvania last
week had only a few feathers on it, audi
that's another sure sign of mild weath
er. oo mueii ur me onus.
r-t i a I i J
A coon trapped in a cornfield the
other night was as poor as a crow, and
that is held to mean that the weather
will be so mild that he will be able to
be out every day, instead of having to
hibernate, as was the case last winter.
At this time last year the coons were
as fat as pigs, and they lived on the
fat while they were cooped up in the
hollow trees on account of the biting
weather. This winter the coons won't
have to lie dormant, and bears will
roam over the scrub oak ridges from
Christmas to Eater. The fur of
woodchuck is much thinner than
usual, and that is 'a Mire indication of
.til open winter.
Moreover, rattlesnakes are crawling
in the hueklebeny patches as lively as
they were in midsummer, and that is
auot her sign of midwinter mildness.
Blackstiakes are as numerous as they
were two months ago. L ist year they
took orouipllv to their dens on the
1st of September. The testimony of
the animals and the reptiles ape:irs to
be complementary to that of the birds

The American Toast.
Benjiiuin Franklin was dining with
atrial I party of gentleman when one
of them said: "Here are three nation
alities represented. I am French, my
friend here is English and Mr. Frank
im is American. , Let ach propose a
toast."
The Englishman rose and in the
tone of a Briton bold said, "Here's to
Great Briton, the sun that gi yes light
to the nations of the earth.'
The Frenchman was rather taken
aback at this, but he proposed, "Here's
to France, the moon whose magic rays
move the tides of the world."
Franklin then rose and with the air
of quaint modesty, said, HeP5s to
George Washington, the Joshua of
America, who commanded the sun and
the moon to standstill and they stood
still," Sjxire Moments.

mised that when they cut his head
open a pronounced smell of alcohol
would issue from the skuil. I thought
it only one of those grim sort of jokes

times when they are carving a f el low--man

odor ofj the alcohol that tilled the
room was strong enough to almost
sicken one. Then one of the surgeons
struck a match and held it close to

enveloped-the entire portion of the
