SALLIE'S KISS. And have so many years gone by since she and I were young, And skies were blue, and earth seemed new, and Love its rondels sung? It seems today I hear her sing as plain as once I heard Sweet "Afton Water" and "Ben Bolt" and "Mag gie"-every wordl And how her eyes grew softer, and how hope sprang elate, For life meant bliss with Sallie's kiss down by the farmstead gate. The moonlight on the fodder fields still shines as bright as then, The plaining of the whippoorwill yet rises through the glen, And I suppose that lovers like to linger there as we. Their eyes filled with the light that ne'er shone on thc land or sea; But is their love as strong as ours when we would linger late. Where life was bliss for Sallie's kiss down by the farmstead gate? The world is filled with prosy things; there's little left to cheer; Cray hairs tell plain the time to leave off cakes and ale is here, Tet something cf my youth returns when think ing how I hung Upon the words of Sallie there-"when you and I were young,;" And, little one, how much I'd give to take from time and fate One night pf bliss with Sallie's kiss down by the farmstead gate! -Will T.

Up and "down the gangpl?nk surged a moving throng-stewards laden with hand baggage, trucks piled with steamer trunks, girls in seagoing costume, with their arms lilied with roses and faces bright with'anticipation; older women with sober countenances, speaking se riously to grown sons and daughters who were to be left behind; business men looking Important and college graduates still care free and intoxicat ed with their newly found liberty. It was a motley crowd, pushing, chat ting, laughing in the bright June sun shine. The gong sounded for the last tim?. the stewards rushed about, shouting "All ashore!" and the final messages arose in chorus. Slowly the great ship swung around, and the cable loosened. The faces on the dock were gradually lost in a confused sense of color. "We are really off, auntie," said a girl's voice gay ly. "Now, don't cry. for yon know you are delighted to go. Uncle Tom will be all right without yon. Indeed, I've no doubt he will en joy himself hugely." She laughed mischievously and put her arm around her portly companion, who sniffed audibly behind her handkerchief. John Towner, who was standing by, glanced at the pair as they disappear ed in the cabin. "Pretty girl," he murmured as he chose a cigarette. "If she were only Priscilla, now, ?vhat a heavenly time we would have." He sighed pensive ly: "However, there's no use wasting wishes over that, and I suppose I'd better be getting my seat at the table." As he took his place in line in the dining saloon the same pretty girl stood near him. She stood so near, in fact, that as he gave the steward his card her eye fell npon lt as it lay on the table. A look of bewilderment and In tense embarrassment crossed her face; she flushed painfully and glanced in voluntarily at him in evident distress. Towner stared back at her in aston ishment In an Instant she recovered her composure, drew herself up haugh tily and turned away. "Waat in the name o? common sense was the matter with her?" he muttered as,, be sought his stateroom. "I never laid eyes on her before, and why she: should be so awfr?iy upset on seeing me, or, rather, on seeing my- mime, passes me." He sat down on the edge of his berth to think it orer. . He was perhaps un used to the waysH>f the. world, still he had had four years at college and flat tered himself that he knew something ot''aociety. But this experience was a new onoto him. He felt strangely flat tered by the unknown's mysterious knowledge of his name. ?*' ''She will probably sit near me," he thought, "end I will find out what the trouble la," It was with undue haste that he sought the table at the first sound of the gong, but his eye searched In vain the faces of those nearest him. Evi dently she had given the steward par ticular instruction to put her seat "s far as possible from tho one labeled "Mr. John Towner, Biloxi, Miss.," for he finally discovered her at the ex treme limit of the rocm. The third morning was bright and sunny, and the decks were crowded. "Where shall I put your chair?" said a despairing voice at Towner's elbow. "The steward has disappeared, and there isn't an empty inch of room." "Allow me!" he exclaimed, inwardly rejoicing as he seized thc steamer ! chair. "There's a nice sheltered place just around the corner." And h*>. lcd the way. "Thank you so much," said thc aunt, ! sighing, as she dropped heavily into ? the comfortable seat as ho settled ir. j "I still feel the effects of yesterday's ' illness. Priscilla, dear, can't you lind a place too?" The girl flushed again and turned ab ruptly away. "Thank you. auntie, but I am going for a book," she called back over her shoulder. j Towner tucked the rug snugly around the elder lady's feet. "Might I bring my chair, too?" he inquired, with becoming meekness. "It is so pleasant here." "By all means," was the gracious reply, and in a moment the two were engaged * conversation. "That s a most charming young man, my dear," said Mrs. Hunter com placently as she smoothed her hair for luncheon. "His name is Towner, and he ls from the south. He has grad uated from Cornell and is going abroad on a business trip. He is engaged tu a Vassar girl, a Priscilla somebody. 1 told him you were at Vassar and must know her, as she Is a junior too." "Oh, you told him I must know!" re- i peat?d her niece. "Certainly I did.? He is anxious to ; meet you, and as he is engaged bf | course it id all right for you to know him. Indeed, I told him I hoped we slioukl see a great deal or nun. ri< really delightful, and it's so conveni to have some one to lix your chair ? run errands, you know." Priscilla groaned. "Well, aun you've done it this time. Mr. Tow is the one man in all the world I wo have avoided. I can't tell yo:-. story-it's a secret-but it's about girl he is engaged to, and it is going be very embarrassing to me." "Dear me, Priscilla, how I do w you had only told me before!" said ! aunt complainingly. "Your habit reticence is most annoying. I've asl him to change his seat to the one n< you at table, and he is going to. deed, he rather suggested it. So will have to see him all the time." "Never mind, auntie; it's Nemos that's all," said her niece, with ca despair. That Towner felt the frigidity of t atmosphere as they met at lundie was inevitable. But with a cheerl resolution he set himself to overcoi Miss Barton's open dislike. His ta his gaycty, his avoidance of all di; cult subjects and, above all, thc utt absence of questions from his conv< satiou gradually thawed .the chill the girl's manner, and by the next d: she was almost her own bright, ea self once more. A light rain now set In, and Mi Hunter was kept in the cabin for sc eral days by fear of rheumatism. Pri cilia, however, and Towner sat in thc cozy nook on deck and enjoyed it aft youth's reckless fashion.. Suddenly tl moment came so dreaded by the girl. "Mrs. Hunter tells me you are fro Vassar, Mi">s Barton, and I want to as you au. ?ut Miss North. As she is : your class you must know her, and, ? your aunt has probably told you, I a engaged to her." "In that case, Mr. Towner, you mu: know her far better than I," replie Priscilla, smiling constrainedly. "Miss Barton, please don't think queer, but I want to tell you a secre You have been so kind tu me and ha\ such a-well, almost a sisterly way t treating a fellow, if you will excus my saying so, that I know you will ac vise me what to do. Indeed, it seem as if my meeting you were really proi idential." "Don't you think, Mr. Towner, tha you would much better not tell mi You see, I am a stranger to you, and i a week we shall separate and probabl, never meet again, and then you woul regret having confided in me. Oh, am quite sure you would better not!" "I know it would seem foolish unde other circumstances, Miss Barton, bu when 1 tell you the story you will un derstaud my anxiety, if you will allov me?" .He leaned eagerly forward, and Pris cilia dropped her eyes in confusion Taking her silence for consent, he bc gan: "You see, it was this way: I'm ai only child, and I've seen little of younj people. I had a tutor and never wen to school until I came uorth to col lege, and you can imagine it was rath er an ordeal to be thrown sudden.; among so many men. I kept rather ti myself and didn't meet many fellows There was one mau there, however who was very good to me. His uaui( was Hal Somers." Priscilla turned her head still fur the: away and picked nervously at thc fringe of her steamer rug. "One d'iy?" continued Towner, "hi brought me the photograph of a pret ty girl. It was one of those soft, rath er indistinct pictures, like a composite, you know, only it wasn't one. It had such deep, beautiful eyes and such a way of seeming to look a fellow right through that it made a strange im pression on me. It was of Hal's cousin, a girl at Vassor, Priscilla North. Well, before I knew where I was he got me into a correspondence with her by sending messages first and then notes. I never wrote to a girl before, but if 'all-girls write as she does they are a bright set Why, Miss Barton, her let ters'fairly scintillated! And no two Were alike. There was the charm of it They were 'from grave to gay, from lively to severe,' only.all were simply exquisite. No wonder I fell in love with'her! Weltftb make a long story short, - we became engaged, and then, naturally, I wanted' to see her. And here the strange part begins. I can not meet her. I am never to see her." "That is- rather [ peculiar"- mur mured Priscilla. "Peculiar? It's unaccountable! She says she is forbidden to make ac quaintances by her grandfather, with whom she lives, so I can't go to the college. At the end of the term she rushes off west-she lives in Wiscon sin. And in vacation she travels! And here I am in the ridiculous posi tion of being engaged to a girl I've nev er seen. Now, Miss Barton, I beg you to tell me all about her. You know 'ler, of course." Towner leaned his head on his hand and gazed earnestly at the girl. She slowly turned her eyes from the hori zon and bent them on him with a trou bled expression. How handsome he looked with that eager face; how his hair curled in the little damp rings about his temples! She turned away again. "Mr. Towner," she began after a pause. "I cannot say that I do know Miss North. I-I would rather not talk about it," she ended abruptly. ; Towner stared at her. "Why, what ! can you mean?" ho said incredulous- j ly. "Surely you must know her! What i possible reason can there be for youi j silence?" Priscilla still hesitated. Then, sud- j denly turning impetuously to him, slit! j said, with little gasps between her sentences: "Mr. Towner, you will never, never forgive mc, but you ought to know thc truth, and I suppose 1 must be the one to tell you Hal Somers is mj cousin. That was a composite photo graph, touched up so it looked like ail ordinary one. And there is no Pris cilla North! I've been dreadfully ashamed of the part I've had in it all, though it was only lending half my name and copying the letters for thc girls, so they would all be In one hand writing. After all, I'm glad of a chance to end it. I don't ask you to forgive me, for I suppose you can't, Lut I do want to say I'm heartily ashamed and sorry." Towner had turned very white. "I don't understand," he said, slow ly, at last. "Somers is your cousin, but you did not write the letters." "He knew any number of the girls at college, but lt was in coming to see mc he suggested the plan to the others." - macy wore io nus pleasant ar rangement?'' inquired Towner in a hard tone. ..Only three," replied Priscilla depre catingly. "You see, Hal suggested that you needed to be educated to a knowl edge of women and from more than one side. Most men know lots of girls, you see, and you knew none, so these three said they would form a sort of prism, and you should see three sides of the ewig-weibliche, you know." "I do know indeed," said Towner grimly. "I know more of women than I ever dreamed." "It was only a schoolgirl trick," pleaded Priscilla, "and we never meant to hurt you. We thought you would really be amused when you knew" "Amused!" exclaimed the man with an uninirthful laugh. ? "You play with a man's liest feelings and expect him to be amused! Those girls must be specimens of the 'new woman' I hoard defined the other day. 'One who bad forgotten how to be a lady and not learned to be a gentleman.' " "I don't wonder you feel so." said Priscilla humbly, and then there fell a long silence. When thc gong rang for luncheon, Towner rose and helped lier to her feet in silence. "Aren't you coming down?" she in quired timidly. "Thanks; no. I've food for thought," he replied, lifting his hat formally. The next days were gloomy enough. Towner seldom appeared at meals, and when he did he was taciturn. As Mrs. Hunter talked incessantly she did not notice his silence, but Priscilla felt cowed by it. "Gibraltar tomorrow!" called some one as they stepped on deck after din ner on their last day. The girl involuntarily glanced at Towner, who stood near, and caught his eyes fixed on her with a softer light than they had known. Her heart felt lighter. She had suf fered these past days from remorse. Mrs. Hunter went to her stateroom to pack, and Priscilla stood alone near the bow of the ship. The air was soft and summer like; the moon shone bright and clear from a deeply purple sky. She turned at the sound of footsteps. Towner stood be side her. "Our voyage is over," ho said. "Aro you going to make mo any reparation for my wrongs?" "Hov.* can I?" she inquired faintly. "You have taken away oni Priscilla from mc. I loved her. I was engaged to her. The least you can do is to give nie another Priscilla in her place." "Bul you don't know nie" "I know you as well as I knew her," he said firmly. "But you corresponded with her," she faltered. "So I will with you." There was a pause. Towner looked anxiously at the girl, who again will fully kept her eyes averted. "But how can I make amends," she exclaimed at length, "when there was no other Priscilla at all?" "You can give me one now," he re plied, fondly laying his hand on hers as It rested on the railing. "Perhaps lt's my duty," she mur mured. "I'm sure lt Is," he replied, and kiss ed ber.-Woman's Home Companion. Some of Our Wonders. "Returning to this country on a steamer, recently," says the Chicago News, "an American found himself besieged by a young Englishman, who .was determined to find out as much as possible about the new world before the steamer landed. He had been warned to keep a sharp lookout for hostile Indians, who sneaked about the streets looking for a chance to pounce upon and kill unsuspecting foreigners and then make their escape by running around the corner and posing quietly before a cigar store until the crowd rushes on. "He then asked about crocodiles and if they could be found in large num bers. The unsophisticated Britisher was solemnly assured that they were not so numerous in the Hudson river as they were some time ago and that the most of them are found at Niagara falls, where the water falls 175 feet. It is a very interesting sight, he was told, to stand on the high rocks above and watch the powerful animals swim up over the falls." Pitching the Voice.

Mr. Harold Godwin, grandson of William Cullen Bryant, is tho owner of Cedarniere, the poet's old home on Long Island. Among the features of the place are an old trout pond and a picturesque rustic bridge. Some mem bers of the household last summer, so ; the story goes, were approached by an j old man who wauted to know if that j was Bryant's home. "Yes." was the reply. "Well, there's a rustie bridge around herc I want to walk over and a trout ; stream I want lo fish up." he added, j He was told that bo would bo allowed j to do both. "l'n you know," ho cou-* tinned, "my father used to fish here : with Bryant, and li" said that those I trout were what made the old man ', famous. If he had a good catch, he'd get enough ?dens to write for a month, and if bc didn't-well, he'd just scratch his head and walk that rustic bridge J all night and for many nights and not do a thing." "And you come here for inspiration, I suppose?" said some one. "Well, yes," was the hesitating re ply; "I've come to trout for a few lines. I don't expect to get a Thnnatopsis, but If I catch a small sonnet it'll be worth while." Later in the day the old man was seen walking silently by the house without a single catch, muttering to himself, "I've come a long ways to find out if that was true, and I be lieve It, and I guessed that Bryant caught all the trout before he died." - In the Filipino war every pass agc-at-arms is succeeded by a passage at-legs. - If the statesmen keep at it, there will soon be more remedies for trusts than there are for rheumatism'. THE "GRAY FOX." General Charles Kind's Reminis cences of Major Genernl Crook. Young officers fresh from West Point looked at him in wonderment. Instead of a somewhat unapproachable digni tary, in precise uniform and epaulets and embroidered sash and belt, they were welcomed by a cordial handclasp from a tall, bushy bearded man, with twinkling gray blue eyes, in an old slouch felt hat, lianne! shirt, rough canvas shooting coat and trousers and common soldier's boots. Generally his beard was tied up with string or red tape, the only use he had for that usual military indispensable. He sat at campfire or in the simply furnished parlor of his army home lis tening to the chat about him, rarely speaking and assiduously playing soli taire with a pack of cards produced from an inner pocket. Ile could play a capital hand at whist, but fought shy of a game with careless or forgetful players. Ile heard everything that was said and saw everything going on about him, but seldom gave a sign. From the so called pleasures of so ciety, dinners, dances and receptions .he shrank in dismay. Ile atc only thc simplest food. Ile never smoked. He hated wine. Ile wouldn't touch spir its. He marveled that any mau should. "It spoils his shooting," said he. And our general was a capital shot. He could foot it through au old fashioned quadrille or Virginia reel, but nothing else, and would always get away on social occasions into the first obscure corner he could find, and then out would come the old pack of cards. He rarely read anything but nature's books, although he had a mathematical gift and not only stood well in sci entific studies at the Toint, as did Grant, but he helped along his un mathematieal roommate, Sheridan. Writing was something Crook abhor red. He could hardly decipher one of his own pages, and his letters and dis patches, like those of old "Rough and Ready," General Zachary Taylor, were generally penned by some brilliant staff officer. Children ho loved and treated with a shy tenderness that was sweet to see, but he had none of his own. His wife was a Maryland girl who won his heart during the war days while her brother and other enterprising "robs" made way with his body, capturing him by a daring night raid into Cum berland. Like Grant, he was simplicity itself in speech, rarely lifting up his voice, and only once did I ever hear him speak an impatient word or one that faintly resembled an expletive, but that was in the thick of the Sioux cam paign of 1S7G and when he had much to try him. Wc had to cat. our horses that year to keep alive. We had no tents, and hardly a chango of underwear could be found in the whole column. We were wet, bedraggled and dirty when we reached the Yellowstone, but the general was as badly off as the hum blest trooper and minded it less. There we met the spruce command of Gen eral Terry, and Terry ldmself, in hand some uniform, the picture of the gen tleman and soldier, came over to our bivouac to call on Crook. I was dry ing my buckskins at a fire as he ap proached and stepped forward to sa lute him. "Where shall I find General Crook?" said he. For a moment I could not,answer. Then an old trooper grinned and nod ded toward the river, and there, squat ted on a rock, well out In the stream, stripped to the waist and scrubbing away at his shirt, was our general, and Terry was too much of a gentle man even to look amused at the sight. The Indians called him the- "Gray Fox." The soldiers had their pet names, but we, his officers, who follow ed him all over the west, from .the Mexican border to the upper Yellow stone, spoke of him always as "the general," our general. That meant, of course, Crook, the simplest soldier I ever knew. In all the years it was my fortune to serve under him in Arizona, Wyoming, Dakota, Montana or at his headquarters in Omaha or Chicago, I never saw him in the uniform of his rank until he lay dead in his coffin, his guard of honor grouped about him.

Mr. David T. Leslie, of Leslie sta tion, was in Yorkville on Mooday and Tuesday. Mr. Leslie is the author of the article on wheat culture recently published in the Enquirer, and which attracted attention not only in York county; but in maDy other counties of the State. The only unfavorable criticism so far as the reporter knows that anybody has seen fit to make, was a suggestion that perhaps in the case of a large grained wheat, half a bushel to the j acre would be too little. The repor ter called Mr. Leslie'3 attention to this suggestion, and asked him for a further expression OD the subject. He replied: "I did not attempt to go into thc whole question because I do not be lieve people arc disposed toread loDg articles as readily as short ones. But when I said a half bushel to the acre is enough, I said it in the full knowl edge that it is more than enough. Of course, large grained wheat makes a difference; but I do not know of any wheat in this State, a half bushel of which would bc too little to sow on an acre. "If you cared to print them all, I could give you numerous points to prove that a half bushel of seed wheat to the acre is really too much. But I will only give you one instance. Down in our neighborhood, in 1898, a young man named Frank Shillinlaw sowed one bushel on three acres. The reason he did not sow more to thc acre, was because he did not have the seed nor the means to get it. He made 42* bushels on his three acres-a better crop than was made by anybody else in the neighborhood. And 1899 was not a good wheat year either. "Xo," concluded Mr. Leslie, "thc question of how little wheatshould be sown to the acre is difficult to arrive at. It is hard to tell when you have a stand. lean easily tell when I have a stand of cotton or corn, but not so with wheat. I'll tell you this though; when you ride over your fields in Feb ruary or March and see your wheat so thick as to almost cover the ground,] you may put it down that you are not going to make much of a crop. You have seeded too heavily."-Yorkville Enquirer. Used By British Soldiers in Africa. Capt. C. G.
