PLATONIC .^>"yTV,7^,|f,yt'yyytf,y'y'yyfrf^ Annabel had many friends among men. "What cant it ia to say friend ship between man aid woman is im possible !" she would cry, with flash ing eyes. "What degrading cant!" with a flushing cheek. She liked th*5 society of men. They gave her .o. new outlook* on life. She would enjoy it if they confided their love affairs to her. So she said. Some how they had not as yet given her that enjoyment. She was twenty two, with a piquant face and figuro and a man of the world style of con versation that half veiled an un fathomable innocence. It was a hot evening early in -June, and one of Annabel's friends had dropped in. They were sitting together in the miniature veranda, discussing a subject they had often ?discussed before. # "One comfort about my man to man style of friendship," said An nabel, "one great comfort, is that one needn't be eternally bothering about one's looks and that sort of thing when one wants to have a ra tional conversation. I don't know anything more aggravating than to talk one's best talk to a man, as I did out at dinner the other day, and to find him obviously speculating ns to whether one's hair's all one's own. Now, I don't think you or j any other of my special chums ! would even notice if I wore a sack ? when you came to see me. That's so refreshing." "It is," said the friend. 'Tor in stance, some girls would be dread- ! fully put out if their shoe had a lit tie hole in it, just at the tip, when a inan was there. But you" "Where?" And Annabel jumped off her lounge chair with one bound and passed her pretty feet under agonized inspection. For one with whom appearance was "no object" j she was wonderfully shod. *Ym so sorry," said' her friend. ? "I didn't mean to imply that you had a hole in your shoe; only that if you had it wouldn't trouble you in the least." t "But it would," said Annabel, with dignity. "I never said one would care to exhibit slovenliness to one's friends, and a hole would be j slovenly." He smoked in pilence. . "How do you ?efine a man's friendship for a woman?" he in quired after the pause had lasted a long while. Annabel took her time before an v ~" o "I think," she replied at last rath er slowly, "it means, having her in terests at heart so much that they oonld never bore you-so that her pain, or happiness would always be to you almost moro than y var own. lYou would never hear her lightly spoken of. You would save her all .you could. You would let nothing of hers he injured. Where you .could you would put velvet between lier and the rough things of the world, as Carlyle said." "Yes, hut he spoke pf his wife." Annabel did not seem to hear the words. She was looking over the roofs, the appallingly uniform roofs of West Kensington, to where a golden haze hung in the sky and wonderful dream music was being played and then blown into the bal cony on a little G oft June breeze. ?The gold sky was the light of the .great dusty exhibition, full of rowdy tWhitsuntida revelers, and the music was blaring from a brass band. But distance and tho summer and the quiet hour caught it nil up and left nothing of it hut what was heauti s ful. It made Annabel feel restless. "Jfm going in," she said sudden ly, springing to her feet. "Here goes for lighting the lamp." And sho whisked into her little drawing room with a movement anything but dreamy. Her friend followed resignedly, though he hajj been very comforta ble where h?rwas. Ha, was quite nsed to Annabel's frequent changes of mood, and by/ indulging = in no such himself he was often able to ?ire her out and to get down to the forlorn little entity behind the Imanv poses,. The lamp was a high concern on ?bamboo poles and quite beyond tho reach or Annabel's fivo feet of ?height. She aot a low chair and pre ?pared to climb upon it. "One moment/* 6ai# her compan ion gravely. "We have decided that it is right to protect all that belongs ito our friend. Now, this chair be longs to mine and will he more or {lesa injured W being stood upon ?ven fcy her. Therefore"-- Ana b% 'lifted her up. After ono furious and unavailing twitch Annabel settled to the situ ation with surprising ease. She lit the lamp and adjusted its red Shade and Boia "Thank you," with great demureness when he set her down. They got themselves into two armchairs, but she seemed to . lind conversation something of an ei fert, r.'/ "friendship has many advantages over-the other thing/' he said at last , "Yes?"-. "Yes. it has far less obligation about it. Now, one takes an inter est in one's f riend's work. How's it -getting on; by thc2^y ?" "Oh, much as ns&ii," <said Anna VI. "But, ono doesn't feel it weigh ??g on ono's mui&foat sho should - - yr * have to work ut all. Now, with one's sweetheart how different! Sho should sit all day in silk attire and cross her little hands in h?? lap if she liked. Tho wind should not be allowed to blow too roughly nn her. Ridiculous, wouldn't it be?" ''Degrading/' said Annabel stout ly "Just so-degrading. Then there's that absurd notion that women want taking care of. With one's friend the fiction doesn't have to be kept up. She goes ?lone to the theaters and meets ono at the door, and there's no nonsense about having to %ee her home. She takes her own bus and oil sho goes. Now, if she were-not one's friend she shouldn't go one step fey herself. There would always bo a tedious malo creature at her side elbowing off the passersby, and taking every unnecessary care of her. Sounds oppressive, Joesn't it?" "Yes/' said Annabel. A little wistfulness had crept into her voice, and some of the sti .diness had fad ed. "Then there's not that terrible demand for sympathy. One expects one's friend to nt in with one's own particular mood, iust as one picks up a book that chimes in with it. Ii she doesn't happen to suit one day, off one goes. It isn't necessari ly on one's mind that she may bo in trouble of her own, or, if she is, she can say so. There's no need for the 'I will dio ere she shall grieve* business." He hummed the words with a ludicrous exaggeration. Annabel shrank a little. She ridiculed sen timent in public and cherished it as deeply in her heart as every other clever little feminine fool in the world. "Now, with one's sweetheart," he said, watching her, "one can tell she is sad while she is still smiling lier welcome. One knows every lit tle trick of expression, almost ev ery thought behind the curls. There is no going off then without com forting. Out it must all come, and she must be petted into happiness again. Doesn't it sound puerile?" No answer from Annabel. The band at the exhibition was playing a particularly vulgar comic song. It came in at the window softened to a melody straight from paradise. He thought he heard a little sigh. He came and leaned over the back of her chair. "The mutual society, help and comfort the one ought to have of the other, both in prosperity and adversity," ho said, speaking low. "How does that sound, Annabel?" No answer. ? He, knelt down by her chair and I got hold of both her hot small [bands. ''How does that sound, my dear?" "It sounds sweet," she said in a ?voice that was only a breath. But the heard. "Is it as sweet as it sounds?" he fesked. That was long after, however. Treating the Bruise. A comedian in a Paris theater ?Ade a great hit ont of a painful in cident.

Having thus prepared a compress according to prescription anti when every one expected- he would apply it to his forehead, he gr?vely arose and tied: it round the pillar. '. _' .

"Whenever I hear anybody speak o? snokes it makes mc think of an exciting experience I had a number of. years ago with a big rattlesnake in Arkansas," said an old timor, "and I want to say that since that time I have had moro respect for the rattler than I ever had before. Of. course, it is a mere commonplace to speak of the rattlesnake's game ness. It is game, else it would not be so fair. Gameness and fairness go together. I om in a position to say that the rattlesnake is both fair and game. I met thc reptile on the side of a hill. He made an effort to get away. I ran upon him before I was aware of his presenco ii* tho neighborhood. I was riding Ho had just crossed tho road, which was on the crown of tho hill. The hill sloped down into n ravine which .was some 300 yards from the road which tho snake had crossed* "I crawled out of my saddlo and began tho fight. I was on the lower tide. The snake was making for tho ravine. He was about nine feet long and as fino a specimen of his kind as I ever saw. I attacked him with sticks, poles and every other thing I could get my hands on. Ho would coil up and throw himself moro than his length down tho hill toward me. In the meantime ho was sounding the danger signal in a way I had never heard it sounded before. Yon could have heard the hum of his rat tles half a mile from where tho fight was taking place. Inch by inch he forced me down toward tho ravine. I crippled him, but he kept right on just tho some, and though I would get right in his path he would crowd in on me until I was forced to get out of the way in order to escapo the danger of his fangs. Not once during ali this time did ho cease to worn me with his rattles that he was 7 mt on mischief if he could but get cios? enough to me to use his fangs. "Before the battle had ended I was in the ravine, the point toward which the snake was headed from the beginning of the fight. Once in the ravine, victory was an easy matter. I killed him in a short while. But I always felt ashamed of myself for doing it. A thing so game deserved to live. Besides, the snake had not harmed me. Really it was a piece of brutality that I am heartily ashamed of, and if I had the thing to pass through again I would not pass through it; that's uU. At any rate, since that time I have had more respect and more sympathy for snakes, ?nd maybe after ail the game old rattler died a martyr to the reptilian c-uuse."-New Orleans Times-Democrat. A Tough Chicken. The other day a gentleman enter ed a certain restaurant and ordered a chicken. Tho chicken was evident ly tough, for when tho waiter came in he beheld the gentleman in a great state of wrath. "Waiter," he said, "this chicken is veryjeough." "Very sorry, sir. . That chicken was always a peculiar hird. Why, .when we wanted to kill it we could not catch it, so at last we had to shoot it. It flew on the house tops, and" "Ah, by Jove, that recounts for it!

An Institution Not Paralleled In Any Othor Country. There are many interesting place:? in the neighborhood of Salamanca. On thc carriage road from Vnllado lid is'the old Roman city of Siman cas, i&w reduced to a sleepy village of a few hundred inhabitants, in closed in massive walls, which has been preserved from extinction by tho little business attracted hero by the archives of Spain. In tho carly part ot the sixteenth century Cardi nal Ximines established at Siman cas a house of public records. It was a statesmanlike thing to do, and it is a pity his example was not imitated by other countries. Hero in an enormous building erected for tho purpose are 33,000,000 docu ments, divided into 80,000 classes, indexed and arranged in chronolog ical order, reaching back as far ns tho introduction of the art of. writ ing into tho kingdom and coming down to tho middle of tho last cen tury. They were arranged under tho direction of Manuel Ayala, sec retary of Charles V., and besido tho records of, state, the correspondence of ambassadors, tho reports of mili tary commanders, governors of provinces and other agents of the government, are tons upon tons of Erivate correspondence of immense istorical value. There is no similar collection any where in tho world, and upon tho shelves are records not only con cerning Spain, but England, France, tho Netherlands, Germany and Aus tria, of which many writers hnvo al ready availed themselves. Washing ton Irving and Prescott both spent months here and here obtained much of the material found in their his tories. There is a large staff of clerks under tho direction of the chief of the archives, who are al ways very obliging. They lead lone ly lives and aro glad to welcome strangers. Nearly always there is some ono there, and often several people making investigations and copies of documents to be used in 6uits of law or historical writings. All documents dated earlier than the middle of the eighteenth cen tury are shown at tho discretion of the custodian, but later archives cannot bo examined without a per mit from the minister of the gov ernment at Madrid. Ordinary visitors will be interest ed in inspecting the original deed of capitulation by which the Alhambra was surrendered to Ferdinand and Isabella by Boabdil, the last of the Moorish kings; original dispatches of Gonzalo de Cordova, tho "gr.?.n capitaD," the greatest soldier of his age; the inventory of Queen Isa bella's jewels which she offered to pawn to raise money for Columbus, but they were not needed; her mar riage contract with Ferdinand, which united four kingdoms; her last will and testament, and also those of Charles V. and Philip II. None of the documents, however, relates to America. Those are all preserved in a similar manner in the Longa, the old chamber of commerce build ing at Seville. - W. E. Curtis in Chicago Record-Herald. The Herolo Butler. During a church congress at Bris tol tho lord mayor of the city gavo a reception to the members of tho congress. The place was crowded almost to suffocation, and one prom inent clergyman from the north of England after having hoon duly pre sented to the lord mayor and lady mayoress found himself carried on by the erush through various rooms until he was taken again into tho en trance hall, where a stream of com ers was still being presented. He could not escape one way or another. The butler asked his name, when he at once replied, "I've been in be fore." Immediately the butler called out in a loud voice, ''The Rev.
