Song of I An 1 ^E?S&BSSBBBBBBSBSatf At last she Lad returned to ber ch'Mhood'home, which years before she had left at the call of ambition, and now that success baa crowned her efforts, she came, one of the world's greates'. singers, to sing again,on the old Town Hall stage, which had -been the scene of her girl ish triumphs. She haa been able to secure accom modations at her own old home, and Of s..o sat n the familiar room, a host 01 memories came to her. She looked'down the long vista of years Mid-saw.herself as a haopy child in this same house with father, moth er anil friends. Again sne heard the iiear,old songs sung in happy chorus, so much sweeter than the operas that hiid brought ter fame, and last of ail she saw uerselr with parents gone, preparing to leave her home to go cut and batt'c w th the world, to wreis * victory from it if she could, with her one gift, a glorious voce, and resolutely turning away from the earnesVJjoy who pleaded with her to remain in that quiet village shel tered oy h's ioVe. safe from the trial? and temp.ta'i ?LS of the world. True, she nad loved him. but why had her voice been given her if not to make tbe^most or it. ana lured by the glit ter of fame and wealth sha had left him and gone out to prove Oer' : trength. ? Both wealth and fame had come to her. but-the "'ay had been very. very, hard, many of the dear iilus ons 0; youtn had been destroyed, and trut happiness . had been^ elus ve, foi riches and glory mean but tfttl* wheD there is no one to share them and no. one to. rejoice when they an? won. ' Since she had left the town no word had come to her. Occas ona'lj she received a borne paper, and from that she knew he had prospered. wa> a successful man. and she also knew that he had. never married, and of tentimes, she. wondered if happiness . had comfcto him. or had passed hin by as it bad herself As she sa1^ tt.ere she wondered if he would com* that n ght to hear hi r. and slow.) realized, how intense'y she desired U see bim even though they might no: speaK. Absorbed In her recollections the minuses went qu'ckly. and soon li was time to go to the hall. Drivin] slowiv through familiar scenes, see ing now an.d'then a well rememberer, lace, the old tee ngs and the olo love seemed to jrow stronger, anc she ...new then that she woulc g adf> throw t er success as de to hear oncf more that dear voice tell her ihe old old story. anJ to oe given again th< same chance of happiness, out. aas she had let it go, and .she could no: ask for what she had so easily throwr aside. As cneTeached the hall and took her seat on the stage, eagerly she scanned the ftsl filling house for tha* one face, but found no one that bor> any resemblance to h m. and seem ed tnat in the..bltterriees of her dis appointment that it would not ?bt possible to sing at all. Still, as he: place on the programme was reach . ed. toe tra ning of years enab'ed her to control ner emotions, and she ren uered her aria in her most fault esi manner, receiving the loud applause with the firt:shed grace of the psimt douna accustomed to much praise. St?pp'ng forward to grant the re q :ests for an encore, a face wa\ r*ewn in the audience arrested her ac lention. and once acre she ;aw the old lov : light in h s eyes anJ his pr?f n her success in his face. Obliv ious to her surroundings she stretch, ed out her hands te him and sang foi him and him alone a song of other days, a song they had often sung to gether when they were all in all each other, and I'fe and love were young. "Just a Song at Twilight." A? she sang the loneliness and sorrow ot the lost years melted away, and when as of o'd his voice joined hers, ?bt knew that fate had bt-en kind and the chance ot nappiness was hen. again and that before h ? was a lifetime Glied with love, "the sweetest song of ail."

Perjury, besides being one of the oldest offenses in the catalogue of crime, has always been very severely punished. V> ith the advance of civ ilization, however, fiendish punish ments have been replaced with more humane, if still severe penalties. In the day>s of the Roman empire any one who committed perjury was thrown from a precipice, whilst the Greeks branded their false swearers. It is interesting to note tiiaf. when* the latter embraced the Christian re ligion the punishment was altered to that of having the togue cut out, a sort, of punishment wh.ch was con sidered to fit the crime in the early centuries. In the middle ages some conn tries adopted the system of g;v r t the perjurer th# punishmen; for ih> crime he falsely accured another et Thus -if he swore a neighbor ta committed murder, and the chfl ; was disproved, the perjurer wouM In sentenced to death, and the et! penalties of the penal rode were ex acted for the particular crime al leged. The two greatest perjurers in the history of the world were Titus Oates and Arthur Orton. the Tien borne claimant. Oates. ,vho had been dismissed from the ship he was serving on, turned lecturer, and. finding that it did not pay, conceived the notion of inventing a popish plot against the king, and reaping the rewards that were always on offer against traitors of the Roman relig ion in England. * The story was believed for a time and eighteen Catholics of rank were arrested and executed. Meanwhile the court conferred a lavish sum of money on Oates, who quickly be came the terror of everybody, for he had merely to point the finger of suspicion at any one, to have that person arrested. However, he fell Into disfavor, was himself arrested, tried for per jury and sentenced to imprisonment for life. Before entering the dun geon he was put in th*.pillory and nfterwards pul-IIc whipped all the way from Newgate to Tyburn Th^s extraordinary man, how ever, had not reached the end of Us career, for the accession of Wil liam of Orange, once more brought the Roman Catholic religion into dis xavor. and the perjurer was not only released but a pension of $15 a week for life was conferred upon him. The Tichborne case, is. of course, the best known in the history of English law. but some of its marvel ous features have not been empha sised. How an uneducateu man could have hoodwinked a nether to swear that he was her sod. convince a firm of astute lawyer* of the same fact, and. in short, obtain a follow ing of millions of persons, passes human knowledge. Fourteen /ears' penal servitude was a heavy price to pay for his temporary success.?Tit-Bits. The Marvels of Indian Magic. A former French Chief Justice in CLandermagaore. .coliiot. gives an account of several curious perform ances that were displayed for his ben fit by a yogi named Bovbinda-Swami on the terrace of his own house. Be ing by no meam? cedulous, Jacolliot took every precaution to prevent de ception. Fine sand was strewn on the. ground in .rder to make as even a surface as possible. Jacolliot was*asked to stat himelf at a table upon which were a pencil and paper. The fakir carefully laid a piece of wood upon the sand, and announced that whatever figures Jacolliot might draw on the paper the piece of wood would tiarscribe them precisely up on the sand." The yogi stretched out his hand, and the wooden piece im mediately copied upon the sand the most complicated and twisted figures that Jacolliot drew. When "the Frenchman stopped writing the piece of wooq also came to a standstill. The fakir stoou at a distance against a wall, while Jacolliot laid the paper and pencil in such a way that the In dian could not possibly see what he ^as inscribing.?Harper's Weekly. Chamois Maker ta a Magician. Most everybody uses chamoic and and everybody imagines it ? comes from the graceful goats of-the Swiss Alps. But it doesn't. It really hails irom the cavernous depths of tanneries of Peabody, la New Eng land. Peabcdy tanners make beau tiful leathers of sheep pelts. The chamois mak^r is a magician of the leather trade. To his doors he draws sheep skins fr'.m the great ranches of Montana, or their possible future rivals on th? plains of Siberia, the pampas of Argentine, or the _/elds of Australia. Mary's little lamb mas querading as brave Swiss chamois, has a wonderful career. Ten Tons of Diamonds.

BOTH USED CUTICURA AND ARE WELL AGAIN I "My busband had been a great suf- I ferer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen I years. At first it was in bis bones, but after a while it was in the flesh and anally running sores broke out on his i legs, from below the knees to the ankles. I There are no words to tell all the dis- j comfort and great suffering he had to 1 endure night and day. He used every kind cf remedy and three physicians j treated him, one after the other, with out any good results whatever. So one day I happened to read about Cuticura Remedies. I asked him if he would not try them. 'No,' said ho, 'it's no use, I've spent enough money now.' The next day I ordered five dollars' worth of Cuticura Soap, Cuti cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. He began to use them without confi dence but after three weeks all the sores were dried up. The burning fire stopped, and the pains became bearable. After three months he was o.uite well. Two years later the pains and sores came back after he had been working hard and had taken cold. But as soen as he used Cuticura again it cured him. Two years ago I used Cuticura Pills for general debility. They did me a great deal of good and mado me well. Three months since I had pains "n my back end Cuticura took them away, too. I can prove this testi monial at anv time. Mrs. V. V.
