"Is this the lel'granh office?" Asked a childish voice one day. As I noted the click of my instrument Willi its message from far away; As it ceased, I turned; at my elbow Stood the merest scrap of a boy, Whose childish face,was all aglow VC'ith the light of hidden joy. The golden curls on his forehead Shaded eyes of deepest blue, As if a bit of the Summer sky Had lost in them its hue; They scanned my office rapidly Prom ceiling down to floor. Then turned on mine their eager gaze, As he asked the question o'er ; "Is this the tcTgraph office ?" "It is my little man," I said "pray tell me what you want, And I'll help you if I can;" Then the blue eyes grew more eager, And the breath came thick and fasi. And 1 saw within the chubby hands, A folded paper grasped. "Nurse told me," he said, "that the lightning Came down on the wires, some day; And my mamma has gone to heaven, And I'm lonely since she is away, l'or my papa is very busy, And hasn't much lime for me, So I thought I'd write her letter, And I've brought it for you to see. "I've printed it big so the angels Could read out quick, the name, And carry it straight to my mamma, And tell her how it came: And now won't you please to lake it, And throw it up good and strong, Against the wires in a fonder shower, And the lightning will take it along." ajh ! v hat could I tell the darling ! Por my eyes were tilling fast: I turned away to hide the tears, l-lui I cheerfully spoke at last: "I'll do the best I can, my child," 'Twas all that I could say : "Thank you," he said, then scanned the sky: "Do you think it will funder to-day?" But the blue sky smiled in answer, And the sun shone dazzling bright, And his face, as he slowly turned away, Lost some of its gladsome light; "But nurse," he said, "if I stay so long, Vi'on't let me come any more; So good-by, I'll come and see you again, Right after a funder shower." SAYINGS OF MRS, SOLOMON. Being the Confessions of the Seven Hundredth Wife and Translated by Helen Roland for the Washington Herald. How long, O my daughter, wilt thou be an easy thing, and thy draw-1 jng-room a soft spot, and thy dining-room a free lunch counter for the , lungers cn? Per, I charoe ihee, talk is the cheapest thing which aj man can offer thee, and a fireside companion is a thorn in the tlesh ! i Lo, he accounteih himself the "Ladies' Delight," and he cometh j every night, including Sunday, bringing honeyed words instead of lluyler's, and songs from the Sunday supplements instead of new mu sic. Vet, in all the days of his life he hcareth not the call of the res taurant, nor heedeih the sign of the theater, and a taxicab shall run over him on a rainy night before Me observeth it. Verily, verily, he shall wear a thin spot upon thy divan and shall cat from thy dialing dish and sip the beer from thine ice box far into the night. Yea, he shalf praise thy handiwork with the fudge pan and shall keep thee "going" with fine speeches and lavish compliments. And when summer approachcth he shall invite thee for a walk and shall urge thee to partake of the fresh air, which is free of charge; but she that lureth him into a 30-cent ice-cream retreat he shall account mercenary. Por he considereth his attentions as good as ready mon ey, and his idea of reciprocity is a sigh for a sigh and a kiss for a kiss. Yet he hath his uses for even a worm may serve as bait ! Their, lo! when nice men "come around" the) shall find him adorn ing thy parlor funiture. Yea, he shall fill in the spaces upon thy front door-sien and the causes in the conversation, even as a between-sea- sons hat. Behold, thou shall find him a the price? Verily, verily, a constant caller is the social gold brick ! And per- adventure, my daughter, thou hast been taken in by many o.f these, but hast thou ever been taken out by one of ihem ?

Advertising Honicseekers Excur sion Rates to the South by At lantic Coast Line The Passenger Tariff Depart ment of the Atlantic CoaM Line has just issued an attractive .12 page folder advertising especially t'lc very low honicseekers excur sion rales from Northern cities to points in the South. It is pruned in two colors and begins wiiii a general review of the agricultural, horticultural, trucking, manufac- luring and industrial features of the entire system and has a short write-up of each Stale through , which the Atlantic Coast Line passes, namely Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabam and Florida, the section , being properly called "the Nation's Garden Spot." Special mention is made of new colonics which i have recently been and are being 1 formed on the Atlantic Coast Line j in the several States, each under a 1 separate caption, due credit being given those who are making an effort to attract settlers and in this I and other ways, trying to build up j their respective localities. ' The Atlantic Coast Line deserves much credit for this innovation : for its policy of activity towards j promoting and upbuilding the rich country through which it passes 1 and the results obtained from the very extensive distribution wfiich is being given this folder in the North : will be such, in attracting desirable settlers to the South, that the fold I er will be issued regularly and in j the stalwart farmer boys are press ! the future probably enlarged, as ! ing the cider for the corn hustings, j new efforts and enterprises, when j as they smile and wink at the mer ; known to the company.are created. ry maidens busy al the house.

D , once boasted a ' i composite postmaster and coroner. t He was called one day to give his verdict upon the case of a stranger ; who had been the victim of a fit I on the main street. As the man was known to no 1 body, he was hurried to the much-1 prized new city hospital. There ! the case was diagnosed as appen- dicitis, but when the operation j took place the attending surgeon i discovered that the patient had ; I been previously relieved of his ; ' appendix. 1 The doctor endeavored to retract j his steps, but the strange man died ; i from the effects of the operation. I ; The postmaster-coroner, in ren- i ! deringhis verdict, filled in the space ; after "Cause of Death," with a! ; rubber stamp which read: "Open ed by Mistake." Success.

The earth 1 is as beauiifu! as if new-born, livery where the eye beholds a nameless splendor; there is cvhila raiiou in the air, and through the golden haze there is a charming lustre, a holy calm, that appears to wait upon nature, as autumn's flashing lires of gorgeous colors slowly burns along the woods, and hangs in its tram a mellow rich ness about the clustered trees; tints the landscape o'er, and mantles with mystery the romance of the seasons. The country never looked more beautiful at this season of the year than it does at the present time. ! The corn looks magnificent and j nrouiises a splendid yield. The i abundant rains have been timely and all the grass and verdure show its effect in beautiful green and freshness of healthy plain life. The midsummer blooms are exquisite and more than usually attractive this year. The golden rod bright ens up the highways and its gol den plumage sways in the breeze and nods a welcome to the passer by. The black-eyed Susans and the blue-eyed Bouncing Kitties are in silk attire, reflecting the glories of nature and the beneficent work of the great creation of the uni verse, merrily preparing the patch work squares for the quilling; and and they gladden the eye with their ! beauty. All nature smiles and the ! earth promises abundantly. Have 1 your friend lake a ride through the country in his automobile and ga.e upon some of these beauties. ! Durham Sun.
