He w;i.4 it father, iiml experiencing
the first joys of fulbcrhood. No fi It
he ought lo do something to show his
Joy, mill, as he held an editorial position
on a morning newspaper, it was only
natural that ho should drop into poetry.
So, when lie learned that cvciything was
progressing favorably, he retired to his
study and laboriously .'round out the
following ;
The liahy! bless his pretty eyes ;
Finest baby ever mortal knew,
Sec his look of glad surprise,
Hear him coo.
What a jolly little ell',
How the hours lie does beguile,
Laughing, lisping to himself
Sec him smile.
Then he took a rest, resolved to fiuish
the poem the lollowing day. Ho was
tired, and besides he wanted to see the
baby again. lie thought that would
give him additional inspiration.
It was two or three days before he
picked up the verses again. He was pale,
and there were dark rings under his eyes,
showing that he had slept little. I!ut lie
resolved to finish the poem, and the fol
lowing verses were added :
idling feet the f.oor have crossed)
jc, he daily grows morphol.l.
Spunky, too, when joys are loil
Hear him eeoM !
1'iek him up and stop the noise ;
Soothing voids to him apply,
Hang it ! get out all his toys !
Hoar him cry !
He fell nsloep iu his chair before he
ould write any more, and it was nearly a
week before he got hold of the manuscript
atraio. hen he did, he read it over
carefully, scowled, grabbed his pen, and
with heavy, scratching, determined
slrokes finished the poem as follows:
Spank the youngstci', ap.iuk hiu hard I
Show him he must not rebel I
Drop him in the big back yard 1

HE 010 NOT BELIEVE IN OMENS, BUT
THINGS KEPT HAPPENING.
There is a gentleman of uncertain age,
but with quito an amiable disposition, re
siding out on the Suburban Road, who
has grievance, and he does not caro who
knows jt. AH t'lP atory goes, this par
ticular West Knjer has a wife and three
or four children, and incidentally every
thing eltc to mako hiiu happy. 1 hore is
only one fault iu the family the wife is
Very superstitious. Mie believes in
dreams and signs und omens to the utter
disgust of the head of the family.
The distrusted husband started out the
other night to convince lijs better half
that there was nothing iq dreams and
omens. Ho turned over the salt boj at
the table and did not get mad; ho walked
under a stepladder and was not assassina
tod; he looked at a crosseyed man in o
street car and carried oat none of the in
structions that would previ nt a horrible
disaster, and ho did nuny other thiiig
tbat caused his wifu to hclievtl lliat h.
would certaiuly die before muruiuj;. He
didn't die however, but awoko next
morning with a regular Mr. Bowers smile
on his faec.
Ho did not forget to call his wife's
attention, to t);e fact, cither, and reminded
her that hereafter he did not want to
hear any more silly talk about "thus and
bo" being a sure sign of "iuoli and such.
The head of the house left homo in a
hanPT framo of mind that morning, firm
ly believing that ho had convinced his
wife.
Ho alighted from car at Locust and
Sixth streets and, after walkini: 0 half
block north on aiitl) street, lull into a
cellar.
Only one finger was broken, but ho
was jolted up In such a manner aa to
oauso gravo uneasiness. While return
ion home in a street the car jumped the
track, and ho narrowly escaped death.
Upon reaching his residence he accident
ally tumbled over a baby carriage and ro-
broke his tttijer. Today ho is at homo

wife is minisleiing to his wants he never
mentions anything about her supersti

WHAT BEAUTY DID.
History of a Rinn a
Laciy wears, It was Given
Her ty Jesse James.
The following true story, told the
Hichnimid State hy an eyewitness about
the celebrated bandit king, Jesse James,
shows that beauty, like music, has power
over the most savage natures. One sum
iner night several years alter tho war a
westward bound train rolled out of the
New York depot for its long run west
ward over the broad prairies. The train
was well filled. Especially noticeable
among them was a newly married pair.
The bride would have shone among a
galaxy of beauties. She was petite and
graceful in form; her head well set on a
rounded ncek of snowy whiteness, while
beneath a crown of golden hair, large
dreamy, blue eyes looked out with the
brightness of twin stars. All day long
the train flew over the steel highway,
until as the shadows of night fell it was
approaching that wild country rendered
the terror of treasure trains by the bold
train robbers who made theil home in its
fastnesses.
About midnight the occupants of the
train had composed themselves to slum
ber. Suddenly, u sharp whistle pierced
the air, and with a grinding of brakes
the train came to a stop. The conductor
hurried for.rard to asivrtaiu the trouble,
while passengers thrust their heads out of
windows. At this moment the door of
the car opened and a toweling form up
peared. It was that of a man, attired in
the frontier garb. Heavy boots encased
his muscular legs; en his head was a
broad brimmed hat, while over his brmid
chest swept a heavy brown bc.ud. The
rays of the lamp were flashed back from
a large wieked looking revolver held in
his right hand. 1'or n full minute la
stood ihu-i, whilo his piercing ryes rested
upon the affrighted passengers. Thtn
he spoke:
"Don't make yourselves uncomfortable,
ladies and gentlemen; I am ns harmless
as a lamb, and the easiest person In the
world to get along with when I have
my own way. The nature of my errand
you can guess when I say that I am
Jcsso James. Please do me the kind
ness to contribute your valuables and loose
change to a rhaiiUUe object, which, in
orccd, is always myself."
Ho passed down the aisle, ufter the
manner of a good deaoon taking up a
collection in church. Money, diamonds,
and walehes were handed him which he
received with a bow and smile, until he
came to the seat where tho young couple
sat. 1 is eyes were lixed upon Ibo face
qf the young bride, whoso largo blue
oyes wero dilated with terror. For a
second ho gnzed upon her, aud then with
a gesturo refused tho valuables offered
him by her hu-band. Ho drew a dia
m ind ring of great beauty and value
from his fiugcr, and bowing low, pre
sented it to her, saying in his deep tones :
'.'Insteiu)of tnkluj anything ffoiu you
allow mo tho pleasure to present you
with this trifling token for tho gratifica
tion I have derived from looking it
your beautiful faec." Before she cou'd
reply he dropped the ring in her lap and
passed on, levying upon other passengers
on the train.
The lady who received this tokeu of
the admiration of tho bandit fur beauty is
the wife of a prominent citisen of Riih
mond. There ore few among the youth
ful fair sex who ore, oven now, her peers
in beauty. She still wears upon her
Gnger tho sparkling diamond given 1 cr
by the eyitlaw chief.

when his attention was attracted by loud
shouts and laughter from the direction of
Market street. The noise grew louder.
and ho was amazed to sc" a we'd formed

streaming behind her, but without a par

crowd of men aud boys.
"Slop that yelling, you fellows! And
stop chasing this woman " shoute I the
policeman.
Then ho did some purnuin on bi.-
own account, for the womau bad sped by
him like a deor. Tho crowd which fol
lowed some distance behind, had increased
to 100, and they were straggled all along
the street, according to their respective
sprinting abilities. The figure that led
the procession glistened white and spectre
like in tho moonlight. Like some will
'o the whisp it sped on. Wa there no
catching her ? Before two blocks wore
passed ho noted that ho was goiuing
slowly. Another block and tho ends ol
the long, sweeping hair of his quarry
touched his face. He grasped the woman
by the arm and stopped her.
"Here-; quick I get into the hallway!
Where are your clothes I' shoute'd the
policeman.
Tho womau only started lie dragged.
her into tho hallway of a tenement,
pounded on a door and a woman answered,
and gave him a skirt, which ho slipped
over the captive's head. Ho led her to
the station house, followed by a rabble of
300. Tho woman said she was Alice
Scott and fell exhausted. That was all
that tho police coujd get out of her. Sho
was taken to Uouverneur hospital aud
then to Bcllevuo. She grew so violeut
that 8he had to bo put into a straight
jacket,
"I think she is suffering from alco
holism," said Dr. Douglass, the insanity
expert. "I shall probably discharge her
tomorrow.
Neither tho police uor any one else
could find a trace of tho woman's clothes,
and no ouo called at either hospital or
station house who could identify her.

with tears of joy and gratitude in her
eyes; and he began to tliir.k she was going
to kiss him und claim him us her long

"Madam.-," he said, us ho edged away

was a dagger in a fond mother's heart to
see him shave in the darkness and shave
in the light, shave in bis weakness and
shave in his might, and moaning, 'What

Grand Display
-OF-
NOW.
If you have a kind word, say it;
Throbbing hearts soon sink to rest.
If you owe a kindness, pay it;
Life's sun hurries to the west.
Can you do a kind deed? Do it,
From despair a soul to save;
Bless each day as you pass through it,
Marching onward to the grave.
If some grand thing for to morrow
You are dreaming, do it now!
From the future do not borrow,
Frost soon gathers on the brow.
Speak thy word, perform thy duty;
Night is coming, devpwith rest;
Stars will gleam in fadeless beauty,
Grasses whisper o'er thy breast.
Days for deeds aro lew, my brother,
Then to day fulfil thy vow.
If you mean to help another,
Do not dream it do it now I
