" THE OLD ARM CHAIR." I love it, I love it, and who shall dare To chide me for loving the old arm chair? I've treasured it long as a sainted prize, I've bedewed with tears, and em balmed it with sighs. 'Tis bound by a thousand bands to my heart: Not a tie will break,, nor a link will start. Would you learn the spell? A mother sat there, And a sacred thing is that old arm chair. - In childhood's hours I lingered near The hallowed seat with list'niog ear; And the gentle words that mother would give, To fit me to die and teach me to live! She told me that shame would never betide, With truth for my creed and God for my guide; She taught me to lisp my earliest prayer, As I knelt beside that old arm chair. I sat and watched her many a day, When her eyes were dim and her locks Were eray; And I almost worshipped her when j she smiled, And turned from the Bible to bless her child. Years rolled on, but at last one sped My idol was shattered my earth star fled; -I learned how much the heart can bear, When I saw her die in that old arm cair. . 'lis past I 'Tis past ! , But I gaze on it now, ' . With quivering breath and throbbing brow ; 'Twas there she nursed me; 'twas there she died: . i . And memory flows with lava tide. Say it is folly and deem me weak. While the scalding tears run down my cheek; But I love it I love it, and cannot tear My soul from my mother's old arm chair.

GALLUP RECOGNIZES IN IT HER SUMMONS TO HEAVEN. But She Falls to Get Aay Inform sv tion From Her Husband aa to the Manner In Wlilcli Site Should Act . When She Enters Her Home Among " the Anccii Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis. When Mr. Gallup sat down for the evening, he had his newspaper on his !knee and Mrs. Gallup was singing "Rock of Ages" and clearing away the supper table. He had been reading for a quarter of an, hour when she quietly entered and sat down and said: "Samuel, I don't want to disturb you nor make you feel bad, but I feel oblig ed to ask you a few questions. Last night at midnight Mrs. Watklns saw a light moving around in our back yard. It was a light which bobbed up and bobbed down and dodged this way and that, and when it finally went out it gave a great wink and a splutter. It was what they call a ghost lantern, Samuel, and It meant that there would be death In this house within a week. It'll be my death, of course. I've got 27 different ailments, with heart dis ease throwed in, while you are as healthy as a cornfield. Yes; it'll be me, but I'm not syeepin over it I'm sittln right here as calm as catnip, but I want to know some few things." 'Mr. Gallup must have known of her presence, but he was too deeply Inter ested In his paper to recognize It. He had found an article which said that a bedbug could be boiled in water for four hours and then come out with his ambition undaunted. "I shall go to heaven when I die, of course," continued Mrs. Gallup as her voice broke a little. "I orter go there. Any woman who has whitewashed the cellar every spring for 27 years, be sides niakin soft soap, cuttin carpet rags, dyein over old clothes and makin one corset last her for 13 years, will go to heaven on the jump. What bothers "I'M SITTIN RIGHT HERE AS CALM AS CATXir." me, however, is how I'm goin to act arter I git there. You know hpw com pany alius flustrates me. If three or four of the neighbors come in, I'm al most sure to fall oft my cheer or knock over sunthin. How's it goln to be when I git up there and meet a hull pasture full of angels? There'll be millions of 'em, Samuel, and they'll all be lookln at me and wonderin who I am, and I'll be so upsot that I'll fall over my own feet." She paused to wipe the tears from her eyes with the palui of her hand, but as she had asked no direct ques tions Mr. Gallup finished the bug arti cle and turned to one on the care of clotheslines. "I don't want to be looked at and p'inted out and made fun of up there." said Mrs, Gallup as she sat with her eyes on the carpet. "All night long last night L couldn't" sleep for thinkln that some of the angels would turn up their noses nt me and want to know what on airth I was doin there. You remember Sarah Jane Bixby, who died two years ago? Sarah was snippy and sassy. "If she went to heaven, it would be jest her way to want to know why I'd come flyin up there, with my rbeumatlz and back aches. I'd have to ass her back. and then what would happen? Angels do sass each other sometimes, don't they, Samuel?" If Mr. Gallup had ever given the mat ter a thought, he was too busy to dis cuss It. .The statement was right be fore his eyes that 1,000,000 miles of clothesline went to destruction: pvery year for want of being hiing up In the wood shed when not in use, and he was reflecting on the carelessness of hu manity In general. "1 may git up to heaven In the night. when all the angels are asleep: and so I'll slip iu all tight. I hope that'll be the way, because It'll give nie a chance to kind 0' git used to the place before daylight. Do you think they have any breakfast up there? Mrs. Watkins says they don't, but I don't really see how they git along without -It 1 know I should feel h goneness ail daywtthout breakfast And I want you to look at me, Samuel, and see If I'm the hum blyest woman ever born. 1 have read that when we die we are changed as In the twinklin of an eye. I hope it's so. If It ain't, then I can't expect no good times up there. Tbeoi angels will be p'intin out my lop shoulder, my; big feet and my wabbly knees" and whis- perin to each other that I'd better staid down on airth among the cabbages. Nobody as knows me can call me obsti nate or sot but I'll be snuuimed If I propose to die and become an angel to be made fuu of. You'll be on my side ubbut that, won't you?" Mr. Gallup heaved a long sigh and seemed about to speak, but no word came. He had finished with the clothes line and struck an article about the reasoning powers of the crow, and the most direct question from Mrs. Gallup would have passed unheeded. . Her tears fell for two or three minutes, and then she asked: "And how about the beds up there? You know we've slept on a feather bed ever since we was married, and I've alius bin particular to smooth it down from head to foot. I've got used to feathers, and If I changed off I'd jest lay there and kick around all night long. Do they hev beds. Samuel, or do they keep on flyin around all night long and singin "I've Reached My Home at Last?" Seems to me that flyin and singin all day would be enough unless I feel stronger than I do now. You orter know these things, Samuel, and you orter tell me so I'll know what to depend on. I might stand sass from a thousand angels,, but I do want my own bed when night comes, and if one of my headaches conies on unexpected ly I want to know that I kin li.n- a cup of tea. Mrs. Watklns says they don't drink tea in heaven, but I don't see how site kiu know." Mr. Gallup was not directly appealed to, and as he was reaxliug that a crow had been known to feign death" to avoid having a crowbar thrown at him be made no sign. - "Waal, I've made' up my mind to a few things." said Mrs. Gallup as the si lence, grew painful. "I'm goin up to heaven to do the best I kin. I'll be nayburly with all the nnsels I meet and let 'em understand that I don't want no more'n my share of harps and wings and things. If I don't find any thin to eat or any beds to sleep on, 1 shan't raise no fuss nor go Into hyster ics, the way Mrs. Taylor did at camp meetin last year. Yes; I'll put up with things as J find 'em and make the best ofTtTfinti I won'fbe jealous if A few oi 'em hev better clothes on or kin sing better'n me. That's how I'll act, Sam uel, and then If they pick on me they'll git as good as they give. I kin be sassed 'and picked on jest so fur, but arter that they want to look out "Would it put you out any. Samuel, if I died at night instead of In the daytime? As I said. If I died at night I could slip into heaven without auy fuss, but if it's goin to make you any extra trouble I'll perish by daylight What will be the most convenient hour fur you?" There was deep silence. Mrs. Gal lup's tears made no thud as they fell upon the carpet, and Mr. Gallup was reading with bated breath that an os trich covers 13 feet of ground at every stride when in full flight. The clock ticked, the silence grew deeper, and the cricket on the hearth fell Into a doze. Then Mr. Gallup suddenly laid aside his paper, stretched his arms and legs, with a "Ilo-hum!" and looked around. to And Mrs. Gallup asleep In her chair. She hadn't gone to Join the angels not yet. M. Qitad, THE KING OF HANDCUFFS. How Harry Hondlnl, American. Sur prised the British. When Harry Houdini, the American king of handcuffs, arrived in England, he tried- to arrange for an exhibit of his skill at Scotland Yard, but the authorities refused to allow him an opportunity of putting on or taking off official handcuffs, says London M. A. P. So, accompanied by a skeptical London manager, he paid an ordinary call as an American visitor to the police headquarters. Mr. Houdini, after making the usual remarks on everything he saw and heard, casually asked a question about a pair of hand cuffs. The guide took them down and answered: "Oh. these are handcuffs impossible to remove." Houdini was greatly Interested, and the incident closed by the American visitor requesting his guide to lock the handcuffs on his wrists. Then he turned his back and succeeded In get ting them off In a couple of minutes. One of Houdini's strangest adven tures happened at a big hotel In St. Paul, Minn., where he was very well known. To his surprise, he found that a couple of men occupying the rooms on either side of his own appeared to be mounting guard oyer him. At first he only suspected this, but after a few days he was perfectly sure that one or the other of his neighbors shadowed his every movement. One afternoon, when Houdini was sitting in his own room, he beard the sound of scuffling outside the door. Flinging It open, he discovered his two unknown friends grasping a third man. who had evi dently beeu wearing a lon dark cape that was dragged on one side, showing that he was heavily handcuffed. "We're a. couple of detectives. Mr. Houdini," panted one of the men. "This fellow made his escape from jail some days ago. We knew that he wouldn't dare to go to a "locksmith to get his handcuffs removed, and we suspected t hit he might come to you." Great Drawing to a Bobtail Pair. "The most remarkable draw 1 ever saw made at poker was in a Chicago club one night," said a Chicago man. "There were five of us in a little social gamewith a limit of $-5 and all Jack pots. A friend of Miiine whom I will call Jones was dealing. I was first un der the guns and passed, as did also the two men sitting next. The fifth man we will say his name was Brown opened the pot for $5. Jones difln't have the shadow of a thing in bis hands, but he raised Brown $10, in tending to stand pat and bluff It out. Brown had three aces, and hp came back at Jones with $10 better. "Now,, instead of laying down, as i wise man should In n case like that. Jones determined to see It through He knew, of course, that it would be use less to try to bluff, so he drew three cards to n king, and queen of spades. Brown had drawn two cards to bis aces and had got a small pair As a bait be led off the bettin? with . Jones hadn't looked at his hand until Brown bet. and when he picked up bis cards he almost fell dead. He had drawn an ace. Jack and ten of spades, making a royal flush. They raised each other back and forth until on - or the other had all his money In. and when the hands were shown the game broke up right there." Washington Vast The Tim to Break the Rule. There is an anecdote iu some volume of French theatrical memoirs narratiug an experience of Mile. Clalron. the great tragic actress, with o pupil of hers, a girl of strong natural gifts for the histrionic art, but far too frequent and too exuberant In her gesticulation. So when the pupil was once to appear before the public in a recitation Mile. Clalron bound the girl's arms to her side by a stiff thread and sent her thus upon the stage. With the first strong feeling she had to express the pupil tried to raise her arms, oply to be restrained by the thread. A dozen times lu the course of her recitation she was prevented from making the gestures she desired untd at the very end she could stand It no longer, and In the climax of her emo tion she broke her bonds and swung her hands to her head. When she came off the stage, she went humbly to where Mile. Clalron was standing In the wings and apolo gized for having snapped the thread. "But you did quite right!" said the teacher. "That was the time to make the gesture, not before!" Brander Mat thews in Harper's Magazine. Resumption of Honttlltles.

Its Interesting Sessions in Winston-Salem Were Formally Closed Yesterday. PARKHURST'S AMENDMENT. Found Conditions in the Sooth No Worse Than la the North Committee. Rec ommends Liberal Investment in Education of Girls. By Telegraph to the Morning- Star " Winston Salem, N. C, April 20. The conference of education here closed today.- Bishop McVickers, of Rhode Island, Mr. Walter H. Page and Dr. Charles Parkhurst were the principal speakers. The latter said he found conditions in the South no worse than in the North. He said he would rather have lived in Gomorrah than in New York city, and as to Philadelphia, that is the worst place in the country. The report of the committee on plat form and resolutions was adopted. It says: "We recognize the value of efforts hitherto made to solve our educa tional problems, both as respects the methods. to be used and also as re gards the sheet quantity of the work to be done. But we also find in the facts as presented at the sessions of this conference the imperative need of renewed efforts on a much larger scale ; and we also find in the improved financial outlook of the country and in the advancing state of public opinion better . hopes than ever before of a large response te this greater need. As the first great need of our people is adequate ele mentary instruction, and as this in struction must come to children so largely through mothers and women teachers in their homes and primary schools, we desire to emphasize our belief in the wisdom of making the most liberal investments possible in the education of girls. "Whereas, therefore, the conditions existing in the Southern States seem ripe for the large development as well as further improvement of the schools, and, whereas, this conference desires to associate itself actively with the work of organizing better school sys tems and extending their advantages to all people, "Resolved, That this conference proceed to organize by the appoint ent of an executive board of seven, ho shall be fully authorized and em- owertd to conduct: First. A campaign of education or free schools for all the people, by supplying literature to the newspapers ana periodical press, by participation in educational meetings and by gen eral correspondence, and. ' second. To conduct a bureau or in formation and advice on legislation and school organization. "For these purposes this board is authorized to raise funds and disburse them, to employ a secretary or agent. and to do whatever may be necessary to carry out effectively these measures and others that may from time to time be found feasible and desirable.

A reign of terror was secretly inaug urated, and persons refusing to con tribute to the insurgent cause were buried alive by the direction of the president.
