OVER THE TUBS. :
Up from the laundry, all day long,
Comes the croon of a little song:
Low and plaintive, its'measures seem
To rise and melt with the wreaths of steam.
/
. ,Mra'McGill in the mist below,
’FHoaping the linen, snow on snow,
Sings at her task as the moments fly;
Still as the hours go by,
Mrs. McGill, over the tubs, '
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Bars are her strong arms: rough and red
Her hands, with striving for daily bread.
While she works in the steam and foam,
Thoughts ‘of the “childer,” left at home.
Come to cheer her, till, after. all,
The day seems short and the washing small;
For mother love, with tender spell,
[5 working its ceaseless miracler
.While Mrs. McGill, over'the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
'Down through the areaway there floats
The cry of the newsboy, strident notes
Telling how on a field at fame
A warrior won him a hero’s name;
The sailors clung to a reeling deck ‘
And served the guns of a shattered wreck;
A 11er mounted the ladder tall,
And plucked a 1! to from the flaming wall:
’Vhile Mrs. MoGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Six o’clock! And the music swells
Loud from the threats of a thousand bells:
' So at last. when the shadows fall,
She draws about her a faded shawl,
While sweet content in the rough, worn face
‘ Kindlcs a brighter than beauty‘s grace.
Home she hastes, where the long day through
The little ones watched and waited, too.
While Mrs. McGill, over the tubs, ’
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Mrs. McGill, your humble name
Has no plane in the rolls of fame. -
Little it matters to such as you;
Brief the page is, the names are few
Still I know that your faithful love
Findsa place in the scroll above,
So when my heart grows weak and faint.
This is the thought that stops complaint:

Scrubs and washes, washes and- scrubs.

A JEALOUS HUSBAND.
Scene—Breakfast room in riverside
residence, at Datchet. Time—8.30
A. M. Mr. and Mrs. King break-
fasting. ‘
He—Suppose I must be off to catch
my train. It’s an infernal nuisance
having to start so early! I can’t see
what on earth you persisted in taking
this tumble-down old shanty this sum-
mer for, my dear.” .
She—Why. Jim, it’s got all the latest
improvements, and you were just as
keen on taking it as I was at first.
He—Yes; that was when I fondly
hoped that we might have it to our-
selves But look at the mob of people
always here—chiefly your admirers.
Monday I came home and found that
rounder, Royston, here— .
She (interrupting)—Rounder! Why,
1 thought he was your greatest friend,
and'ho brought the girl he wants to
marry with him. ’
Be (ironically)—Girl he Wants to
marry? Not’much! He’s too fond of
all women to want to marry one. On
Tuesday Brown and Jones we‘re having
tea with you when I got home before
my regular time.
She—And their sisters.
He—well, they didn’t come here to
see their sisters. Wednesday that ass
Seymour would stay to dinner, and to-
day when I got back no doubt I shall
find three or four . others. I tell.you,
Cissy, it’s, disgraceful! . I, wen’t have it;
He—I don’t mean in point of age ; but
we’ve been married four years, and it’s
not the thing for a married woman to
flirt as you do.
She—Jim, don’t. be absurd; I don’t
flirt; but surely you wouldn’t have me
otherwise than civil to your friends?
He—Your ideas of civility and mine
don’t-agree, Cissy. You needn’t carry
your civility to Royston to the point of
letting him punt you’ about the river
all theafternoon and lunch and tea
here ever'y other day, and I’m sure I
saw Brown try to kiss your hand on
Tuesday. . ‘ .
She—It’s useless, I know, to try and
convince you that all these accusations
are quite unfounded, and that all the
attention and devotion you imagine I
‘ receive from these various individuals
exist only in your [fertile imagination;
but there’s J ohn with the'cart, and you
have barely time to catch your train.
Now don’t be a silly boy; you know I
don’t care a strap for any one but you.
Do try and, give up these jealousfan-
cles.
He—Well, darling, I will. I do be-
lieve you only care for me, but you’ve
such a deucedly kind way of lokbing at
fenows (kisses - her).- Good ' by, old
to do to- day? ,
She—I’m expecting Kitty" Clover to
spend the day. ' ”
He—That’s all right; then you won’t
be alone; I’llbe home about 6 o’clock.
She” (watchsng him drive ofl)—Dear
old J iml He wont see how fond I am
It makes him miserable for nothing.
and worries me, ’too. It is funny that
when a man is fond or a woman him-
self he always imagines that every
other manis in love with her, half as a
tributeto his .own vanity, I believet'
, Let me see; it’s only 8.45. and- Kitty
can’t be here before lunch time. I think
I’ll drive over to the Browns when the
cart comes back from the station. Susie
and her brother might as well come to
' lunch, “and then he can punt us up to
the willows for tea this afternoon.
Scene—Lunch time in a crowded'city
restaurant, busy city men of all sorts
' and descriptions fighting for food
at'the bufiet; others at numerous
small tables a trifle less hurriedly
one of these latter King and an el-
derly man are just finishing a hasty
meal. ‘
King—iLovely day. isn’t it, Clover?
Beastly shame to waste it in this stepw-
ing‘ city! ’
Clover—Yes, indeed; I hardly ex-
pected to see you up‘ to-dpy: Kitty told
me this morning she was going to "a
‘ luncheon party at yOur' cottage up the
river, and I understood yogi were ‘ to be

, CloverdKitty didn’t say for certain
who was to be there, but I think I

King—Yes, of course, quite right:
so, smothering strong words.)
Scene—Hall in the cottage at Datchet.
Time—about 3.80 P. M. Kingen-
ters hurriedly, hot and dusty, hav-
ing walked two miles from the eta-
tion, calls, “Jane! Jane l—where
the deuce is the girl? Jane 1”
Jane (neat housemaid, runs in from
and flustered in manner, having been
interrupted in a promising flirtation‘
with the local ’milkman)-—Oh, sir, why
you are home early! Missis will be
sorry—I mean glad, and— , .
King (suspiciously)—What the devil
do you mean, girl, and where is your
mistress? '
'Jane—Why, sir, they’re all gone on
the river just a quarter of an hour ago,
sir, and missis said the trap was to go
to meet the 5.40 train for you, and"they
won’t be back before 6 any’ow, ’cos
they’ve took tea and all with ’em. You
do look tired, sir; shall I get you a whis-
ky and soda, sir?‘
King (irritably)—No, no; stay, yes,
I’ll have one; and Jane, which way
have they gone? and did they take both
boats? "
Jane—Yes, sir; Miss Glover and Mr.
Brotvn in the rewing boat, and missis
and Mr. Royston and Miss Brown in the
punt; and I did hear missis say to Miss
Brown to punt up to the larches.
King—Oh, very Well; never mind the
whisky and soda; I’m going to the star
bles'first, and I will have one when I
come in. (Exit) ,
J one—May the Lord forgive me! I've
told, him a fib; they was going to the
willers; but with master in the jealous
rage, as I could see he was, there’s no
knowing what he’d dc if he got there
like that. Lor’. I wouldn’t be in, mis-
sis’s shoes to-night, not for nuts, _I
wouldn’t. ‘
Scene—Lawn at back of cottage leading
to the river. Time—Some two or
three hours later. King reading
underatree near the water. Mrs.
King and party arriving at the land-
ing stage. .
King (watching them, unseen him-
self)—-I knew it; Cissy and Royston in
the skiff alone, and she told me nothing
girl Jane told me she .was in the punt
with Miss Brown. She’s inleague With
her mistress; this decides it. ’ . '
Miss K. (suddenly sees him)—-Why,
here’s Jim home before us; how jolly!
(Runs across lawn to him.) What time
did you get back. dear?
King—Time enough to find you out
in the pack of infamous and cunning
lies' you told methis morning, mad-
am; but I’ve been your dupe -long
enough. It is all over now; you shall
hear from my solicitor in the morning;
meanwhile I have the pleasure of bid-
ding you good by forever.
Mrs. K.—Are you mad, Jim? Don’t
you see our friends?
King—Your friends! I wish Mr.
Royston joy of his conquest, I’m sure.
Mrs. H.—Well, however you found it
out Idon’t know, for they. only settled
it on their way down here today; but
(turning tothe others) I believe I’m not
committing a serious breach of confi-
dence in telling you all that my dear
old chum Kitty Clover isgoing to marry
Mr. Royston, and, there’s no reason to
be so tragic about it, Jim?
King—Is this true, Royston?
Mr. R.—Quite true; and but for Mrs.
King’s kindness to us and good offices
with Kitty’s father I might not have
been'so happy. ,
King—I congratulate you both.
(Aside) Infernal old fool Clover is!
(Takes Mrs. King apart.) Cissy, can
you ever fergive me? ,I am an unmiti-
gated ruflian, but I will be different in
future—"St. Paul. ’
Queen Victoria’s Busy Days.
Most peeple have an idea that royalty
has an easy time of it, but the fact it
that kings and queens, even in times of
peace, are almost as hard worked as day
laborers. Queen Victoria, for instancq
last year had to attend to some 50,000
documents.
She practically never has a holiday
while at Buckingham or Windsor. She
rises at 7.30; at eight she has prayers,
and half an hour later breakfast, and
then works With her secretary steadily
for five hours and a. half, until 2 o’clock.
Sometimes she has been called up in the
middle of the night owing to some ur-
gent State paper requiring her signa-
ture. ~ '

—-At a picnic given the waifs of Chi-
cago a plate of tarts was passed to
two little urchins, evidently chums.
One, whose mouth was too full for ut-
terance, and plate too full for even an
extra tart, shook his head; not so his

pile of goodies. In a few minutes num-
ber one had so reduced his plate that

—One day, when the late Lord Bea-

at Hug-henden Manor, he, was accosted
by a well-known parishioner noted for
his ready wit. It being _winter time,
and the weather unusually severe, the
villager, after paying his respects to
his lordship, commenced to make an
appeal for a little help. “How often
have I told you to be careful and pre-
pare for a rainy day?” “Ah! that’s
right enough; soI did, my lord,” said
the ready-witted villager; “but then
who thought of seeing all this snow
and hard frost?” This ready retort
had .. the desired effect—Household

a bag- of salt, two ounces of pepper, a.
loaf of bread and a pound of butter.
Do you think you can remember» them
all, or shall I write them down?”
"Sure, mam, I kin remember one by
the other. When I hev bread, I know
I want pepper and. salt.” "All right.
Go, and don’t be long.” Bridget was
not long. She was back in a very
short time; but with an empty basket.
”Why, where is the dinner, Bridget?”
“Iconldn’t remimber wan of them,
mam.” “Why, I thought you could re-
member each article by the one before
it.” "Faith, mam, I had nothing to
renumber the furst one by.” '
THE CUNNING BRONCO.
Traits of This Hardy Little Rover of the
. Western Plains.
A few words about this horse—the
horse of the plains. Whether or no his
forefathers looked on when Montezu-
ma fell, they certainly hailed from
Spain. And whether it was missiona-
ries or thieves who carried them north-
ward from Mexico, until the Sioux
, heard of the new animal, certain it.
also is that this pony ran wild for a
century or two, either alone or with
various red-skinned owners; and as he
being abandoned in the snow at incon-
venient distances from home, or being
ridden-by two women anda baby at
once, and of being-eaten by a. bear, his
[wide range of contretemps brought
him a wit sharper than the street
Arab’s, and an attitude toward life
more blase than in the united capitals
‘of Europe. I have frequently caught
him watching me‘with an eye of such
sardonic depreciation that I felt it
quite vain to attempt any hiding from
him of my incompetence; and as for
surprising- him, a loéomotive cannot do
it, for I have tried this. He relishes
‘putting a. man in absurd positions,
and will wait :many days in patience
to compass this uncharitable thing;
and when he cannot bring a man
to derision, he contents himself
with a. steer or a buffalo, helping
the man to rope and throw these
animals with an ingenuity surpassing
any circus. to my thinking. A num-
ber of delighted passengers on, the
Kansas Pacific railway passed by a
Mexican vaquero, who had been sent
out from Kansas City to rope a buffalo
as an advertisement ‘for the stock
yards. The train stopped .to take a.
look at the solitary horseman fast to a
buffalo in the midst of the plains.
Jose, who had his bull safely roped,
shouted to ask if they had water on
the train. “We’ll bring you some.”
said they. .
and jumping off he left his accomo
plished pony in sole charge of the buf-
falo. Whenever the huge beast strug-
gled for freedom, the clever pony stiff-
ened his legs andlleaned back as in a
tug of war, by jumps and dodges so
anticipating'cach move of the enemy
that escape was entirely hopeless.
The .boy got his drink, and his ”em-
ployer sent out a. car for the buffalo,
which was taken in triumph into Kan-
sas City behind the passenger train.
The Mexican narrated the exploit to
his employer thus: “Oh, Shirley, when
the train start , they all give three
greats. big- 'cheers for me, and then
> they give three mucha bigger cheers
for the little gray hossl”—1-Owen Wis-
ter, in Harper’s Magazine. ‘
