BALLADE OF HOPE Strong ropes of sand I yet may weave; The circle I have hopes to square; I may in course of time achieve A competence that's more than bare; I may, in fact, have cash to spare And make as sciniillant a show As any bloated millionaire? The chances are against it, though. Some rich relation yet may leave Me of his fortune ample fhare, That I my fortunes may retrieve; But little, after all. I care. Somehow 1 can propel the mare. The stocks 1 bought, though sunken low, A dividend may soon declare. The chances are against it, though. You need not snicker in your sleeve Or raise your brows and rudely stare. I can quite readily conceive That hopefulness like mine is rare. But sumptuously 1 may fare And clad in purple raiment go. While brassy bands before me blare? The chances are against it, though. LFXVOI. Prince?you a Prince's garments wearPress not the trifiins debt I owe. I soon may make a raise somewhere? The chances are against it, though. ?Chicago News. I _ 1 | liie | Happy Meeting.

"T moon what 1 snr Morv Tfm milSt give up all thoughts of marrying James Eldridge. A man who hns reached the age of twenty-three, and never laid up a dollar, will be no sort of dependence for a family. I suppose he thinks a marriage with you will place him beyond the necessity for work; but he is greatly mistaken. I have earned my money too hardly to throw it away upon such as he." "You do James an injustice, father; lie does not seek my hand from mercenary motives. With all his faults? and I will not deny that he has suchhe has the truest and tenderest heart that ever beat. 1 shall never love another man as I love him. Bestow your .wealth on whom you will, but do not. 1 beseech you, make your only child so utterly wretched!" "Enough of this folly!" exclaimed Mr. Dane, harshly. "You know what my will concerning this matter is; and it only remains for you to show whether you will continue to be the dutiful daughter that you have hitherto been. You can see James to-night, if you will, but only to tell him what I tell you now?that this must be your last interview: that you can never be his wife, i Now go; I have more important matters on hand than listening to the silly fancies of a lovesick girl." Mary arose from her seat and turned toward the door; but her cheek was pale, and there was a look in her dark eyes, as they rested upon her father's face, that he Lad never seen there before. "I will obey you, father, but remember that you are dooming me to a lonely and joyless life. 1 will give up 'James at your bidding; but, as I can never love, so will 1 never marry any other." It was with very different feelings from what she hail anticipated that Mary awaited the approach of believer. But the step of James was light and buoyant, and he greeted her with ' a proud and happy smile. With her it was their last interview; with him it iwas but the precursor of many more, as well as the happy day that would make her his own altogether. But he could not but notice her pale cheek and troubled look. "What is the matter, dearest? Why do your eyes look into mine with that mournful gaze? You surely do not repent your promise. Let me hear from those sweet lips again that you love me!" "I love you, darling!" murmured the fair girl, laying her cheek lovingly to his, and speaking in tones, to which the sorrow at her heart gave a mourn nil ilJlU It IlU^l lir??9? "It is for the last time." sho thought, fls she yielded l<> bis passionate embrace in which she was folded. Then, with a visible effort, she withdrew herself from his arms. "But 1 can never be your wife, James." "Can never be m.v wife. Mary!" repeated the young man in a tooe of sorrowful astonishment. "What do you mean? You surely will not break your solemn promise'/" "You know it was conditional, James, depending on my father's sanction. I did not dream that he would withhold it. But he has not only done this, but forbidden me to see you again. So A11V 1.1 c t iicut iiioi ujriuuj,. tut he will relent, Mary." pleaded es.

AVe can touch but briefly on the events and changes of the years that - " * l-i-l. 4rx rxIck.iA lOiJO^VeU, aim Wlllt'Ll iviuuiuru iu (/Ian the lovers still farther asunder. Inspired by a mania for speculation, Mr. Dane left his pleasant New England home for California, where he was as successful as ever in heaping up the wealth that was his idol. In the meantime Mary remained true to her promise. From all the admirers that her beauty and modest worth drew around her. she turned steadily away. And if her father urged the claims of some one of them upon her notice, her answer was the same. "At your bidding, I separated from the oniy man I can ever Jove; but. as I told you then, so I tell you now. 1 will never marry another." Soon after his rejection, James joined the army, taking an active part in the great struggle that was then at its height, partly to deaden the restless pain at his heart, and partly from the higher motives that animated so many brave men in that dark hour of our country's trial. Though he enlisted as a private, his skill and bravery insured his rapid promotion, ai d at the close of the war he was honorably dis charped with the ranis of captain. A low months after "business cailed him to San Franeiseo. As he was en route for that city, at a way station, two ladies, dressed in black, entered one of the cars, the one in -which James, now Captain Eldridge was sitting. He could not see the face of either, but there was something in the form of the younger, especially in the graceful turn of the neck, that at once arrested his attention, thrilling his heart with strange emotions. She turned her head. Yes.it was she, his lost. Dut never forgotten. Mary! And. as their eyes met. tbe blush, the bright and happy smile that overspread her countenance, showed that she still held him in as loving remembrance. The elder lady was Mrs. Dane, Mary's mother. In the conversation which ensued he learned that Mr. Dane had died a few months previously. Left alone, as it were, the widow and daughter, as soon as the business of the deceased could be closcd up. prepared to return to their home in the East, though proposing to stop a few weeks in an adjoining town to visit a friend, and they were now on their way thither. James escorted them to the house of fiMnnrl WIIDI'O lia xrnc CA li.'irmY* ns to find the opportunity he so ardently desired. "Is not the hand of Providence in this unexpected and most happy meeting?" he said, his eves resting appealingly upon the benevolent countenance of Mrs. Dane, "and will you. can you refuse to recognize its leadings?" "It is for Mary to choose." was the smiling response. "I made my choice long ago." said the blushing girl, as she raised her smiling eyes to her lover's face. Here Mrs. Dane considerately left the room. "Said I not aright." murmured Mary, as she yielded to the warm embrace to which she was folded, "that I would give myself to no other? The kiss you left upon my Hps when we parted, you will find there now." "My love! My own!" exclaimed the enraptured man. as he drew tier still more closely to l;is heart. A few weeks later James and Mary publicly pronounced the vnws that mode them one in life, as in heart. Does not the heart of the reader echo with ours.

Recently in a case a woman was very refractory under cross-examination, and although the lawyer used all politeness and mildness, sharp and unsatisfactory replies were received. Her meek and humble husband was present in court. Mr. Sweeney tried another innocent question, when the lady responded with vindictive fire flashing from li^r eyes: "Mr, Lawyer, yon needn't think you can catch me; no. sir. you can't catch me."' With his most pleasing smile Mr. Sweeney responded: "Madam. 1 haven't the slightest desire to catch you. and your husband looks to mo sis ii Ut' was sorry ue nau succeeded."

ETQH JACKET. ! generully attractive. This May Man! ton one includes the tiny vest effect | that marks the latest designs with j full sleeves and the drop shoulders I that give the broad line of fashion. As j shown, it is made of wood brown ! broadcloth with trimming of brown ' and white braid, the vest being white I cloth braided with brown and tan. but : all suiting mateiials are appropriate ' and the vest can be one of many | things. Oriental embroidery is much | liked, brocades and lace are seen and j wide braid is nsecL The jacket is made with fronts and ; back and is fitted by means of single darts, shoulder and under-arm seams. A Late Design 1 I | Tbe little vest can be r.rplied over the j edge and tinisheu with tbe braid, or ! tbe jacket can be cut awaj and tbe j edge of tbe vest arranged under it, j then stitched to position. Tbe sleeves are gathered and are joined to the I drop shoulders, the seaxns being concealed by tbe braid and are linisbed : at tbe wrists with flare cuffs. i Tlie> ouantitv of material reauired | for the medium size is four yards i twenty-one inches wide, three yards ! twenty-seven inches wide, or two yards forty-four inches wide, with ; three-quarter yards of vesting, five yaids of braid and three yards of lace to trim as illustrated. Color* For Hats. | Shades of blue, shades of Bordeaux, shades of green, shades of pink, are j all favorite ideas for the entirely straw I toque. It seems agreed that costume i and hat shall make a compact as to 1 color, and on these lines one notices I that the new sleeve frills are of chiffon. ; matching the fabric of the frock or the ; coat and skirt in question. And this j will be a very pretty fashion, of which j a charming variation may be found ; in having the chiffon flowered, although the groundwork matches the j material of the frock. For instance, j with a black frock, frills or rose-patj terned black chiffon, with a dark blue, frills of white and pinky-flowered dark blue chiffon, and then lace and chiffon, may be blended. I A Comine Mode. Fine Brussels net. or fooling, is going to be largely used to beautify our thin frocks. More than one dainty creation displayed in smart shops is trimmed only with this footing. Bands of it are set around tbe organdie or Swiss skirt, in place of tucks, JnsertI ed id bodice and sleeves, and or. wide long band serves as a sash with long, flowing ends. The beautiful effect of frosty-looking net in this capacity can be imagined. Red an<l rink Combined. A combination of colors most people would exclaim at has become very popular this season. It is red and pink, and brunettes may consider this a blessing, as it is particularly becoming to their type. Pink is used for the foundation of the frock, and it is trimmed with clusters of cherry or deep poppy shades that blend with it. The effect is very rien, and a handsome gown is tbe result if care is taken in the shading of the color. , Buttons Match Hat. Movable buttons attached to the coat in such a manner that they car easily be changed to match each .Vat are the latest whim. , Smart Raincoats. The newest raincoats are very smartly made men's suitings. Fancy Biouse. Box pleats combined with tucks or shirrings are among the novelties that are genuinely attractive as well as new. This pretty waist admits of either combination and is eminently graceful and smart. The model is made of pale blue messaline satin, with yoke and cuffs of cream lace, and is tucked between the pleats, but all of the soft and pliable materials of the season are appropriate and shirrings can be substituted for the tucks whenever preferred. The drop yoke and the deep by May Nanton. gauntlet cuffs make noteworthy features, and the crushed b?lt is both fashionable and in harmony with th? design. The back blouses slightly ovei the belt, but can be drawn down snugly when preferred. The waist consists cf the lining, the front and backs which are arranged over it. The yoke is separate and is arranged over the waist after the sleeves are sewed in. the closing being made invisibly at the back edge ol Hie yoke and beneath the bo* pleat The sleeves are the favorite ones ol the season arid form sol't full puffe above the cuffs, but are tucked to fil the upper arms snugly. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four yards twenty-cne inches wide, three yardi FANCY BLOCSE. twenty-seven inches wide, or two yards forty-four inches wide, with onehalf yard of silk for belt and one and three-eiehth yards of all-over lace. A New Use For Cement. Mnrbled slabs of colored cement, for i use ns table tons. etc. are made by ' j pouring the tinted cement in proper I proportions on plates of highly pol| ished mirror glass, and then stirring j i the mass until it begins to solidify. I When completely dried and hardened ! it is removed from the glass plate. c i The surface which has been in contact !, 1 with the glass is already finished with j 1 a surface which looks as if it had been j j | polished, and this finish can be imi proved upon by brushing the slab with j 1 a diluted solution of potassium silicate. , | ; Eat More Fruit. Hygienlsts all agree in telling us ! that we do not eat sufficient fruit. I which is infinitely more productive of ; health and beauty than candy and pastry. Ripe apples are especially healthy, i and children may eat them without ' danger. It is claimed that an apple eaten at bedtime produces sleep, j Tears are more tasty than apples. : hnt not sn hen 1th v unless cooked. ; Prunes have medicinal qualities which j i cannot be denied, says the Chicago j j News. Apricots are also more healthy j ; cooked than raw. Peaches are very I healthy. The most healthy of all fruit, j ! however, is grapes. Gooseberries and currants are best cooked. Figs are also excellent; they were in j great favor with ancient Roman ladies,. ! who always ate them for breakfast. ! Pineapples are said to be the best re- ; j lief for dyspepsia yet known. Oranges I are also excellent for some people. | : Lemons produce cheerfulness and pro- j ! lon^ life. Fifch Story of ? Cod and a Mc<lal. ! A remarkable codfish story is re* j ported from Northumberland. A cod\ fish caught at the mouth of the Wans! beck had in its stomach a gold disk engraved with the name "William Drysdale Dudley.'' The disk is now in the possession of a Blyth gentleman, but it has been i claimed by Mr. William Drysdale. of 1 Gosforth, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, f who tells an astonishing tale. He has, he says, the centre part of j a medal that was won by his father ! at Dudley poultry show nearly thirty : years ago. Mr. Drysdale, Jr., lost the | disk while on a visit to Ashington. I Northumberland, ten vears aso. His theory is that the centre was carried out to sea with refuse and swallowed by the fieh.?London Express. Checking: Old Ace. physiologists long ago noted the fact that the "burden of years" which weighs down the physical man is in reality the burden of osseous deposits I with which his system in its various | parts is increasingly clogged. To reI tard this process is simply a question of "victuals and drink."' Confine yourself as closely as possible to those articles which contain the smallest per cent of calcareous matter. The cereah should be largely barred. Eat spar; ingly of bread, and use fruit, fish. | poultry, mutton and beef. Drink pond | water, or better, distilled water. It is j easily possible to thus slow the process ! of physical decay, and secure better j health while doing so. , Horses Learn. "The man who does not think that horses have good, hard sense simply does not study them." remarked a wellknown liveryman to a Post man. says the Washington Tost. "I believe they 1 are the most peculiar as well as the : best matured of all an in als. I have ! dealt in and bandied horses for many years, and the more I see of them the more I am impressed with their intelligence. Sometimes their intelligence surpasses anything one would expect from a dumb animal and would scarcely be believed by one not acquainted I with their habits and mental?I sup' pose mental is proper?capacity."
