He was so unjust and cruel that he won for hinmself the name of Tyrant. He know that almost everybody hated him, so he was always in dread lest somebody should take his life. But he was very rich, and he lived. in a fine palace, where there were many costly and beautiful things; and he was waited on by a host of serv ants who were always ready to do his bidding One day a friend of his, whose name was Domoolos, said to him: "How happy you mnust be! You have everything that any man could wish." "Perhaps you would like to change places with me," said the tyrant. "No' not that, 0 King I" said Damo oles; "but I think that if I could only have your pleasures for one day I should not want any greater hap piness." "Very well." id the tyrant, "you 1 shall have them." And so the next day Damocles was led into the palace, and all the serv ants were bidden to treat him as their master. He sat down at a table in the banquet hall, and rich foods were placed before him. Nothing was wanting that would give him pleasure. There were costly wines, and beau tiful flowers, and rare perfumes and delightful music. He rested himself among soft cushions, and felt that he was the happiest man in all the world. Then he chanced to raise his eyes toward the ceiling. What was it that was dangling above him, with its point almost touching his head? It was a sharp sword, and it wr s hung only by a single horse hair. What if the hair should break ? There was danger every moment that it would do so. The smile faded from the lips of Damocles. His face became ashy pale. His hands trembled. He wanted no more food; he could drink no more wine; he took no more de light in the music, He longed to be out of the place and away, he cared not where. "What is the matter?" said the tyrant. "That sword! that sword!" cried Damocles. He was so badly fright ened that he dared not move. "Yes," said Dionysins, "I know there is a sword above your head, and that it may fall at any moment. But why should that trouble .you? I have a sword over my head all the time. I am every moment in dread. lest something may cause me to lose my life." "Let me go," said Damocles, "I now see that I was mistaken, and that the rich men are not so happy as they seem' Let tne go back to my old home in the poor little cottage among the mountains." And so long as he lived he never again wanted to be rich, or to change places, even for a moment, with the1 king. "Am Hloneul "l speeds Bleet, Beiag PlaJuIy Told.' Good morning, Mrs. Sanderson," maid the brak merchant to a farmer's wife who had come into his stores to make some purchases. "Glad to see you. Always does me good to have you call. You are so bright and cheerful and look the picoture of he.lth Ten pounds of sugar you, said." "Good thing I was healthy -'and strong last week," replied the woian with ani air that arouied the mer gbant's curiosity. "Why so" the asked. "About everybody else in the neighborhood was sick and I had to do cooking and help in other ways in three different families." "You don't say so? Been bad weather, anyway. Lots of sickness about here, too," said the busy, man, as, he weighed out the sngar. "You must look out for yourself," he added, tossing the scoop back into the barrel as he saw the scales just balance. "You'l be sick, too, next thing we hear." "I'm not much afraid of that," re plied Ira. Sanderson. "Z'o laaeda JAMIE ...SPRING LOTHINg, FURNISHIN Far Eclipses anything . . .
