BREAKING THE DAY lN TWO.
When from dawn till noon seems one long day.
And from noon till night another,
0 then should a little boy come from play
And creep into the arms of his mother.
Snugly creep and fall asleep.
0 come, my baby, do.
Creep into my lap and with a creep
We‘ll break the day in two
When the shades slant for afternoon.
When the midday meal is over,
When the winds have sunk themselves into a
swoon.
And the bees drone in the clover,
Then hie to me, hie, for a lullaby—
Como, my baby. do,
Creep into my lap, and with a nap
We‘ll break the day in two.
We‘ll break it in two with a crooning song
With a soft and soothing number,
For the day has no right to be so long,
And keep my baby from slumber.
Then rock-a-‘oy. rock, while white dreams flock
Like angels over you,
Baby‘s gone—and the deed is done—-
We‘ve broken the day in two.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
A WWIBIGOOSE CHASE.
Mr. M. ‘. ‘Kiscr, solemn after the man-
ner of amen brethren, and scrupulous in
statement as the wary witness who testified
that his name was “Abraham Jones, or words
to that effect,” has yet this tale to tell.
He says it was told him many years ago by
a; genilema n of character and reputation for
veracity
"Old man Lundsl'ord was out hunting one
day when he saw eleven turkeys sitting in a
line on a rail fence. He had loaded his shot-
gun with turkey shot and forgotten to pull
out the ramrod. then he shot at the near-
est gobblcr the rod cuilladed the turkeys and
cut off all their heads, so that they dropped
forward and fell on the ground, where they
lay in a straight row.
“Just at then he heard a noise in the bushes
on the other side of the creek, and going over
to investigate the cause, he saw blood on the
leaves. Following this sanguinary trail for
a. couple of hundred yards he came upon a
wounded stag. The brute was unable to go
farther and had sunk to the ground. Stick-
ing through his body and protruding in the
other side was the ramrod. Weak as he was
the stag allowed Lundsford to pull out the rod.
After it the life blood gushed, and in a mo—
ment the animal was dead.
“W'iping the blood carefully from the ram-
rod he reloaded and returned it to its place
under the gun barrel.
“Then he shouldered the buck and staggered
across the creek to the place where the tur-
keys lay.
“As he sat down to get his breath and rest
from the unusual exertion, he heard the fa—
miliar ‘cronk! cronkl’ of wild geese away up
in the sky, Their keen eyes discovered the
creek, and down they came to a broad and
deep pool made by a widening of the channel
a hundred yards above.
“Afraid to go within gunshot for fear of
frightening them oii’, Lundsford sat still and
thought the matter over. As he did so his
eye fell upon a stout piece of very large cord,
the end of which hung out of his hunting bag.
A happy thought struck him and he pulled
out the cord to see if it was long enough. It
was fifteen feet; that was enough and to spare.
“Coiling the cord c :refully around his left I
arm. he crept cautio as. y to a bend of the
creek where he was out of sight of the geese.
Quickly divesting" himself of his clothing. he
waded slowly up the creek, keeping well
under the bank to avoid frightening the geese.
The bend concealed him from them until he
was within about thirty yards.
“Through the overhanging foliage he could
just see them sailing, diving and cavorting
about the pool. They were in high spirits,
and appeared to be totally unconscious that
they were watched. ’Phere were fourteen
geese and one big gander, who kept aloof and
looked on at the sport as if it was a little too
undignified for him.
“Lundsford had been. a wonderful diver in
his boy days, and now he prepared for a long
swim under the surfice. Dipping noiselessly
in the water, he half swam, half crawled,
terrapin fashion, along the bottom of the pool
till he got under the geese. They were dis-
porting themselves about in a circle, and
Lundsi'ord slowly rose in the center till the
top of his head appeared like a moss covered
rock above the surface. The geese took no
notice of this, and he managed to get his nos—
trils above the surface and take along breath.
“Then he sank without making a ripple and
deftly looped his cord around the feet of one
goose after another. The other geese could
not understand the queer capers of their
neighbors, who seemed suddenly to be at-
tacked with a. fit of the St. Vitus dance, until,
one by one, they found themselves in the
same predicament. Then they all knew they
were tied, and their demeanor became sud-
denly frantic.
“But it was too late. Lundsford had tied
the feet of all fourteen of them and fastened
the ends of the cord together. Then he threw
caution to the winds and rose suddenly in the
middle of a circle with his hands stretched
out grasping the cord on opposite sides.
“Alas, for his temerityl The old gander
who was free set up a terrible ‘cronk! cronkl'
The geese answered in notes of despair, but
the old fellow seemed not to have lost the
courage of leadership, for he hovered within
a safe distance, and by a series of energetic
cronks inspired them with a sudden and dcs-
perate resolution.
“All at once the gander, with an unearthly
cronk that sounded to Lundsford like the
wail of the damned, lifted his clumsy body
and led the ilight. \Vith a tre icndous flop-
ping and a succession of cronks that strangely
resembled the ‘lIeave, ho!’ of the ucgroes,
they rose from the water and sailed away
toward the sky, carrying Lundsford with
them. Before he knew what was going to
happen he was fifty feet from the ground,
and when he realized his perilous position he
was too high to drop. He was in for the
flight. He must migrate whether or no, and
up under the edges of the clouds, as the cool
winds of the upper air fanned the perspira-
tion from his brow, he had time to think
over the situation. Where would he land,
and how far from home? ll’ould these fool
birds drop him in the ocean or the gulf ? In
the meantime his position was exceedingly
irksome. He had managed to draw the two
sides of the circle together, so that he was
virtually standing in the stirrups of his
many winged steed, but he was standing on
his hands and his arms began to tire. The
geese on his right and left were so close that
their wings rubbed against his bare sides and
chafed them. They tickled his ribs, and but
for the peril and pain pf the situation he
would have been forced into involuntary
laughter.
He was many times reminded of the ludi—
crous aspect of the situation, and repeatedly
asked himself whether he was not the biggest
goose in the lot.
“All thought of mirth soon left him. The
situation had changed from discomfort to ex-
treme peril. The muscles of his arms could
not stand it much longer. A cold sweat gath-
ered on his brow, and he began to nerve him-
self for the worst. He was resolved to face
death like a brave man, and he almost con-
vinced himself that he was willing to go, but
to die at the hands of a lot of geese was adis:
grace to which his lofty spirit would not be
reconciled. I
l
NORWALK
“To the bitterness of this disgrace and the
agony of leaving all that was dear in life, a
new and unspeakable horror was now added.
He was passing over a town and he could see
the people gather in clusters along the streets
and twist their necks to look up in the sky.
It was a large town and the suburbs stretched
away for nearly a mile. To his unutterable
horror he remembered that he had left his
clothes on the bank of the creek. Even if he
had had them it would have been impossible
to put them on. This new {angled vehicle oi
his bad no facilities for making toilettes and
he had to remain as nature formed him, with-
out. any of the superflui'ties of fashion. Not
even a. fig leaf encumbered his person. It
was an admirable flying costume, but was
not appropriate for a. public performance.
He was just congratulating himself that he
was too far above those curious eyes for their
to discover his costume when he saw that one
group held something in their hands. It was
a long field glass. He bent his agonized face
once more rigidly to the front. At least they
would not recognize him.
“Just at this time he noticed that the oc-
casional cronks began to grow feebler, and
that the geese appeared to labor in their
flight. They were becoming tired, and must
inevitably sink under his weight very soon.
Then he prayed that the wings of the geese
might be strengthened for a season. He was
willing even, like Jonah, to be cast into the
sea; anything, rather than land in that town.
Then he clucked encouragin g1 y to his fourteen
winged steeds and gently jerked the Cord as
if he were jerking the reins of his horse, but
still they labored. The old gandcr’s hoarse
‘cronkl cronk!‘ seemed to mock him in his
despair and his downcast spirit began to sink.
"All at once he heard something whiz by
him and he saw u pm’l‘ of blue smoke away
down below. A s. road or two later he hoard
the sharp crack of a rifle, the sound having
traveled slo vcr than the ball.
“His blood almost froze in his veins. llor-
ror had been added to horror, and his spirits
sank in the depths of despair.
“But the darkest hour was just before the
dawn. The whiz of the bullet and the report
of the gun had frightened the geese and
nerved them to renewed exertions. They
made one desperate effort to reach the friendly
cover of the woods. Lundsford’s spirits rose
as he saw that the geese were likely to accom-
plish their object. Now the cronks of the
gander seemed more cheerful, and the breezes
brought a grateful coolness to the man’s fe-
vered brow. He began to hear the solemn
laugh of the forest as the suburbs disappeared
and the song of the pines soothed him like an
eolian harp. .
A mile or so from town the gander gave a
peculiar “cronk” at the sight of water, and
the geese began circling to descend. With
an indescribable feeling of relief, Lundsford
tightened his grip as his winged chariot
swung round the circle and he recked not
out of the icy coolness of the pool into which
he was plunged.
Having made fast the end of the cord to a
tree he began to consider what he would do.
Fortunately at this j uncturo he heard a dog
bark, and following the friendly sound he
soon came in sight of a cabin in a. clearing.
Concealing himself in tho underbrush, he
shouted a loud hello. A woman came to the
door, looked around curiously and went back.
“ ‘Hello!’ he cried again.
“Then the man came to the door and he
. recognized a former tenant.
“ ‘Hello, Goddard!’ he cried.
“ ‘Hello yourself; but Why don’t you
come out of the brush?’
“ ‘Because I ain’t fitten.’
“ ‘Ain’t fitten i’
“ ‘No, I haven’t got on any clcthes.’
“ ‘Who are you, anyhow .37
“ ‘Come a little nearer and I’ll tell you.‘
“The man was a little skeptical and came
out cautiously with his gun in his hand.
“ ‘Who are you now?’ he called out when
thirty steps oil‘.
“ ‘Sam Lundsford.’
“ ‘Sam Lundsford in that fix! 'Well, I
reckon I’ll have to help you out.’ And he
went in and got the best suit of clothes he
could spare and flung them over in the
bushes. Sam jumped into them and then
sheepishly came forward and told his story.
“Goddard’s eyes opened wide as he listened,
and he evidently thought Lundsford was off
his balance, but when he went with him to
the creek and saw the wild geese tethered to
the tree he no longer doubted.
“Goddard lent him a horse and Lundsford
went home. He hitched up his two mules to
the wagon and went after the deer and
turkeys.
“He found them just as he had left them,
and loading up the wagon with the game, he
started home.
“When he got within a couple of miles of
his home, a heavy shower came up. He got
soaked. but didn’t mind that so long as he
had the turkeys and the deer, while the geese
had already been carried home.
“He forgot all about his rawhide traces,
and did not notice that they were stretching.
He bestrode one of the mules. and they quiet-
ly walked on. It was a straight road home,
with only a little undulating.
“’When he stopped the mules in the yard
and dismounted, he was astonished. to find
that there was no wagon in sight. There were
the traces, stretching away over the hill in
parallel lines as far as he could see. Taking
in the situation at a glance. he drove the
mules round a big oak tree once or twice, un-
hitched them and put them in the stable.
The next morning when he got up the wagon
was standing in the yard, with the deer and
turkeys scattered all about. The wagon
tongue had been thrust through the oak tree
and was never pulled out. You can go there
and see it remaining to this day.”—-IV. G. C.
in Atlanta Constitution.
One Kind of Appreciation.
The Man About Town chanced to drop into
a fashionable downtown restaurant at lunch
time a few days ago, and after seating him-
self noticed, at an adjoining table, two
prOminent business men, either of whom,
according to general belief, could reckon
his wealth in the neighborhood of a cool
million. They were in the best of spirits,
and as they sat over their wine the
eldest of the two said to his companion: “By
the way, —-—, I haven’t seen young ~— for
some time; is he still in your employ?” “Oh,
yes; he is still keeping my books, and is such
an invaluable fellow that I do not see very
well how I could do without him. He is so
completely reliablo and intelligent that he
relieves me entirely of any annoying details
of business, and I can assure you that it takes
a burden from ofif my shoulders.”
The other nodded thoughtfully as he sipped
his wine, and after a. moment‘s pause said:
“I have always regarded him quite highly,
and sometimes when worried with inefllcient
men, envied you your good fortune in pos-
sessing such an admirable clerk. You pay
him handsomely for his services, I suppose.”
“Well, his salary is small, and he has quite a
family growing up, but he never complains.
Truthfully, I give him only $15 a. week, and
have often thought it was Really insufficient,
but then business is dull and competition has
played hob with prices. If I could afford
it, I think I should do a. little better by him.”
Without further comment they arose, and
the younger man laid down a $10 bill in pay-
ment for the lunch and received 50 cents in
change. He asked for two cigars, and after.
balancing his change on the end of his finger,
handed it to the cashier in payment for the
cigars and strolled out—St. Louis Republic.

HAD THE RACE WON.
An Old Horseman Tells a Story of the
Kentucky Derby with a Moral.
The following readable story about the re-
cent Kentucky Derby, run at Louisville, is
copied from 3. Memphis paper:
In the crowd at one of the Memphis pool
rooms the other day was a trainer and horse
owner whose name is well known all over the .
country. He had named four winners and
was stuffing a portly wad of bills into his in-
side pocket when one of the boys ventured to
congratulate him on his luck. “You call it
by the right name,” said the veteran, with a.
shade of bitterness in his tone. “People that
I don’t know what they are talkin’ about might
call it hoss sense. I might ha’ been jest as
big a numskull before the Kentucky Derby,
but that race learnt me a little. Judgment
and knowiu’ the form of bosses is somethin’,
but unless it‘s got blind luck to help it out it
won’t make you cash any tickets, an’ that’s
what talks.” “W'hat did the Derby do to
you ?” asked the other. “It done this much—
it showed me that a sure thing is as danger—
ous as another man’s chuck—a-luck layout, if
you don’t watch tlm corners. It showed me
that a race horse is the deceivinest bein’ on
earth. To cut a long story short, you know
I used to train for Milt Young, and Milt had
a heap of confidence in me. same as I had in
myself, till that race come off. Ho had Once
Again an‘ Bootmakcr in it, an’ it struck him
that he wanted my judgment on their chances.
So a few days helm“: ihe Derby he wrote me
to come on to Louisville an’ try the colts. He
knowcd that if he was to do it himself there’d
be the whole earth out there to tout him.
“Il'ell, I went to Louisville an’ took the
colts out, with a couple of good boys up.' It
was all on the dead quiet. an’ I held the
watch on ’cm myself. I told the boys to go
the Derby road and make the colts do what-
ever was in ’em. They took me at my word
an’ done just what I told ’em. They hadn’t
gone more’n half the distance before Boot-
maker begins to draw away from his half
brother. At the mile and a furlong he had
Once Again in trouble, and blank me if he
didn’t beat him out over fifty yards. What
was the time? Hold still while I tell you. It
was 2:33, a second and a half faster than
Spokane won the race in. Bootmaker pulled
up all right so far as I could see. The boy
said he run the lust furlong as strong an’
straight as the iirst. Now, what was I to
think—what could I think but what Boot-
maker had the Derby at his mercy? You
might know what I done. I told Milt his
colt had an air tight cinch, an7 put up all my
wad on him. That wasn’t enough to satisfy
me. I sold two of my bosses an’ put up What
I got for ‘em, so I stood to win $16,000 on the
race.
“I wouldn‘t have sold my tickets for 815,-
000 when the bosses went to the post. It jest
’peared to me like Bootmaker couldn’t lose.
Of course I told Milt an’ he plunged on him,
likewise my friends, an’ they done the same.
“'ell, you know how it turned out. Boot
maker broke down in the race, an’ the pros-
pect is he’ll never face the starter again. He
was keyed right up to a wire edge when I
got there, :m’ the trial jest dono him up. But
for that he would either ha’ won or made
Spokane do the distance in better’n 2:3 .
There was a good many people wondered
why some of us backed Young’s entry agin
Knott so lively, but the fact was we had the
race won—till it was run. My son, I’ve got
to name a lot of winners on the board before
I git my Derby experience straightened out.”

Beauties of the Cotton llower.
“'e made the suggestion recently that pa.-
pers in search of a flower for the national
emblem would iind all the requirements in
the bloom of the cotton plant. It has merits
that may well be enlarged upon. The flower
takes on all the hues that constitute the na-
tional colors; it is pretty and, though not
fragrant. is inodorous. 3111: it possesses in
its utility what it may lack in fragrance.
Its product clothes the civilized world and
gives employment to millions of its most use-
ful and industrious people, not only in its cul—
ture, but also in its manufacture.
Its pure white is emblematic of peace, but
it may when necessary be converted into one
of the most powerful warlike projectiles and
explosiveseyet known to science-both em-
blematic of the peaceful policy of the United
States and its military power when roused to
war. IVithout it the commerce as well as
the industry of the world would greatly suf-
fer. It is the chief money bringing commod-
ity of export of this country—always in
steady demand abroad and good as gold in
the making of international exchanges.
Without it the agriculture of the south would
languish and many thousands of spindles and
looms at the north would cease their merry
hum.
Is there any other flower of the country
whose product is so essential to the thrift of
millions of people, and which is every way-so
well fitted for Uncle Sam to wear in his but-
ton hole ?~—Atlanta Journal.
Dangerous.
in scientific matters one cannot always
trust the evidence of his own senses. A little
colored boy and his father stood watching, in
awe struck admiration, the progress of an
electric car. As it finally disappeared in the
distance, and they turned to walk away, the
boy inadvertently stepped upon the rails
forming the track. instantly his father pull-
ed him aside. .
“Don‘ you know no better ‘31 out. :" cried
he. “You might ha’ had a shock, an’ died in
yo’ tracks.”
“Sho, dad! dat cyar’s a mile away by dis
time,” said the lad, scornfully, but his father
looked at him with an expression of pitying
wisdom.
"Ef you don7 learn no mo’n dat at school.
it’s time you stayed at home,” said he. “Don’
dey send ’lectricity way over to England on
a cable?”
“Yes, dad.”
“Don’ folks get killed when lightning comes
down outen do clouds, millions ob miles?”
“Sartain sure!”
“And yet you say do cyar’s more ‘11 a mile
away, and dere ain’t no danger! ’Lige Blos-
som, you jes’ keep oi’f’n dem rails!”
And the boy, overawed by paternal wis-
dom, gave the death dealing track a wide
berth.—Youth‘s Companion.
The Elixir of Life Found.
According to a communication recently ad-
dressed by the eminent scientist, M. Brown-
Sequard, to the French Academy of Medi-
cine, it appears that he has prepared a con-
coction warranted to infuse fresh doses of vi-
tal energy into constitutions shattered by age
or'illness. As yet, for there is no public rec-
ord of its trial as a. recuperative and revital-
izing agent, all that can be said is that it is
intrinsically compounded of revolting mate-
rials. The physiologist, it stated, cuts out
certain parts of living animals, such as
guinea pigs, and the pieces of quivering flesh
pounded together by the pestle and mortar
of pharmaceutical commerce are made into
a kind of paste with water. The essence of
this compound is then injected under the
skin of the patient with a syringe similar to
that employed by the votaries of morphine.
It isnee'dless to say that the results of M.
Brown—Sequard’s experiments are awaited
with eaga'ness by elderly Fausts.—London
Telegraph.
_A SEASIDE COTTAGE INTERIOR.
It Would ‘Do as Well for the Interior of
Any Summer Cottage.
The season of outing is at its height, and
therefore the accompanying matter and illus-
trations, furnished. to The Decorator and Fur-
nisher by C. W. Clark, will be of interest.
Mr. Clark has in mind especially the interior
furnishing of a seaside cottage, but his design
is suitable for a summer cottage anywhere. He
offers his sketch to the rich and the poor, the
owner and the tenant, hoping that not only
professional decorators but home artists will
find its suggestions of value in fitting up in-
expensiVe and comfortable quarters.
mmmoa OF A SEASIDE COTTAGE“
This article is also intended to reach that
class of owners of miles and miles of ocean
shore lands, who it seems refer to let the
lands remain barren waste instead of erect-
ing thereon, at small cost, a number of port-
able bungalows, or one story cottages, which
would not only be in great demand at the
approach of the spring season, but would
bring in quite a fair income. These little
houses would be eagerly sought after by those
who prefer the home quiet and privacy they
afford to the discomforts of the stuffy and
cramped quarters of the majority of our se. —
side hotels. '
Houses like these can be constructed in such
a manner that if occasion demands they can be
readily moved or taken down, and from $200
to $1,000 would cover their cost and erect
them in an artistic and substantial manner.

He Left His Sympathy.
A. stranger who was making loud inquiries
at the city hall yesterday for the mayor was
finally asked byan ofllcer to state his errand.
“I want to make a complaint against the
way I was used at the postofiice,” he replied.
“But the mayor has nothing to do with the
postoffice."
“He hasn’t?”
“No, sir. Uncle Sam runs that.”
“Well, I’ve had my satchel stolen, and I
want to see him about that.”
“It’s no use, sir. You should go to the po-
lice."
“Hasn’t the mayor anything to do with it?"
“Not a thing."
“But they put me oil.’ a street car up here.
I want to see him about that.”
“He couldn’t help you any."
“Say! You don’t mean to tell me that
your mayor hasn’t got any power. do you?”
“Not in such cases.”
“Humph! Just sits right in his office, eh’:
Just smokes cigars and looks big and bosses
the city hall, eh? Say! What's the use? If
a feller can’t boss the whole roost what’s the
use of holding office? Say! Pm sorry for
him. Give him my love and tell him he has
my sympathy.”—Detroit Free Press.
Contrasts Between l’arls anti London.
In the streets French traffic all goes to the
right; London coachmen drive always to the
left. Parisians live together in large houses
like barracks; Londoners have one family in a
house. They have a latch key, the Frenchmen
a concierge. Paris has its cafes, London its
clubs. Parisian beds are up in 'an alcove in
the wall ;. Londoners sleep in the middle of
the room. London takes three or four meals
a day, Paris two. Paris dines, London cats.
Paris loaves are long, London loaves are
square. Paris drinks wine, London beer.
Paris takes coffee, London tea. - Frenchmen
while dining talk to their neighbor and enjoy
each other’s society: Britons sit alone at table
and don’t say mucn but on joy their food.
London workmen worl; lll their ordinary
clothes, call each other “mate," smoke clay
pipes and punch each other’s heads occasion-
ally. l’arisian workmen do their business in
blouses, call their friends "citizen” or “sir,”
smoke cigarettes, take their hats off to each
other, and do their fighting with their feet.—

It’s Different.
\Vho doesn’t remember when it was the
received thing to send your sweetheart every
evening an enormous breastwork of flowers,
where the roses were stabbed into position by
wires and the whole cil‘ect of which was stiff
beyond expression? Mademoiselle had her
corsage bouquet and she would have felt that
the world was not quite right without it;
that her beauty must. be fading and that her
sweetheart must be growing weary of her.
But now! The young man gets down on his
knees and gives thanks because these belong-
ings are no longer demanded from him. If
he sends any flowers at all they must come in
a. big box, loose, long stemmed and dripping
with dew. They may be daisies plucked
from some country meadow, they may be
wild roses, or they may be the great, stiil‘,
scentlcss ones that have been cultured in
green houses. But few or many, they must
not even be tied with a ribbon, or sent in a
basket. — Louisville .Courier—Jourua l.
