WHEN RICHARD LOVELACE CAME T0
WOO.
The feet of time make fact their pace,
And we, like players in n play,
Strut up and down our little space
. And act our parts as best we may.
Alasl Alaek, and well a day]
The stage is (light in somber hue,
Where once that stately vogue held sway,
When Richard Lovelace came to woo.
And much we marvel as we trace
The feuds and foibles pas‘sed away,
While pomp of power and pride of place
Troop down the years in grand array.
In court and camp, in fete and fray,
Fickle and flippant, stanch and true,
Such were the gallants, bold and gay,
When Richard Lovelace came to woo.
In doublet fine and frills of lace,
The lover sought his suit to pay,
With such a form and such a face,
Who could resist his plea, I pray?
And then that tender roundelay,.
So like a wood dovc’s plaintive coo
- Sweet Lucy could not say him nay,
When Richard Lovelace came to woo.
ENVOY.
Ho, Kentish towers! Your lordly race
_ Had swords to draw and deeds to do.

When Richard Lovelace. came to wool

A VALUABLE DIM E.
Ten Cent Pieces Coined In San Francisco
In 1894 Are \Vorth $5 Each.
Whoever has a dime of 1894 coined
by the San Francisco mint has a coin
for which $5 has already been offered.
and when all the facts are known re-
garding its scarcity it is not unlikely
that it will command a much higher
Inquiry at the mint elicited the in-
1894 only 24 dimes were coined at the
San .Francisco mint. How this came
about was told by Chief Clerk Robert
Barnett:
“All undercurrent subsidiary coins—
viz, those containing other than the de-
sign now being used—when received at
the subtreasury are not again allowed
to go into circulation, but are sent to.
the mint to be recoined with the cur-
rent dcsign. In the course of the year
1894 we received a large sum in these
coins, but having an ample stock of
dimes on hand it was not intendedto"
coin any of that denomination in 1894.
However, when nearly all of this sub-
sidiary coin bullion had been utilized,
we found on our hands a quantity that
would coin to advantage only into
dimes, and into dimes it was coined,
making just 24 of them.
“My attention was first drawn. to the
matter particularly by the receipt of a
letter from a collector somewhere east
requesting a set of the coins of 1894.
In filling this order I .found there were
no dimes of that date on hand. Subse-
quently I received quite a number of
similar letters and in each case was of
course unable to furnish them. .
“Plenty of dimes were coined that
year at Philadelphia and New Orleans
mints, but there are many collectors
who accumulate the coinage of each
mint, as eachchas its distinguishing
mark. Those coined here bear a letter S
under the eagle. New Orleans uses the
letter O and Carson City the letter C,
while Philadelphia coins are identified
by the absence of the letter.
“We receive each year about 50 re-
quests from coin collectors for coins,
mostly for those of silver. ”—San Fran-
cisco Bulletin. ‘
Lincoln’s Good Breeding.
The writer remembers very well to
have heard a very fastidious lady, a
member of the Speed household, say
that, though at that time Lincoln had
none of the polish and gracefulness to
be expected from those acquainted with
the usages of society, he was one of na-
ture’s gentlemen because of his kindli-
ness of heart and innate refinement.
stance of real good manners on his part.
At dinner there was a saddle of mutton.
The servant after handing the roast
passed a glass of jelly. Mr. Lincoln took
the glass and ate the jelly from it. The
servant got another glass and passed it
around. Mr. Lincoln noticed that the
others at table merely moi; a spoonful.
Without embarrassment or apology he
laughed quietly and remarked, “I seem
to have taken more than my share,”
and then he went on with his dinner.
Most persons, this lady thought, after
committing such a solecism would have
been covered with confusion and profuse
in apologies —John Gilmer Speed in
Ladies’ Home Journal.

T0 SCARE BURGLARS.
A FEW DEVICES SOMEWHAT OUT OF
THE COMMON RUN.
They May Happen to Frighten People Who
Are Not Burglars, but Therg Is No Doubt
That Most of Them Are Calculated to
Scare Every Time.
A little party of women, brought to-
gether last week by a family reunion
over in Brooklyn, had under debate a
communication recently printed in The
Sun respecting domestic devices to serve
as burglar alarms. ‘
“We believe in tin, ” said one. “John
out a little groove like half of ‘an anger
hols across the tops of the front and
back doors, a few inches back from the.
outer edge, and before we go to bed we
poke into each one a stick supporting
some old tinware on the extreme end.
A leaky watering pot, with some old
tin cups inside, hangs on one, and on
the other an old dishpan, with a couple
of baking tins tied to it. So long as the
door stays shut nothing happens, but if
it is pushed open the least mite of a
crackdown comes the tinware with a
clatter fit to wake up everybody in the
ward.”
“That’s all well enough for your
doors, but how about the windows? A
thief can open One of these new fangled
catches by poking a table knife up be-
tween the sushes,.as easy as you’d say
scat. ”
“But that wouldn’t open our win-
dows. J ohn has bored holes slanting in
through 'the window casing into ' the
sashes and put long iron pins in them.
.It is just as if every window was nailed
fast, and a burglar, to get‘ in, would
have to cut away the whole sash.”
“Did any of you ever try newspa-
pers?” asked another. “No? \Vell, let
me assure, you, from my own experience,
"there is nothing better. Lay one or two
dry newspaper sheets in the lower hall
and pin a couple on the stairs. It is im-
possible to step on them- without mak-
ing a noise that, in the stillness of
night, would surprise you if you never
tried it before. And you can’t pick them
up or fold them or slide them out of the
way or step over them without more
noise. As for the ones on the stairs,
they are simply the thief’s despair. My
husband laughed at me when I first put
them down, but within a week, as it
happened, their efficacy was proved. I
was awakened one night by the rustling
of paper in the hall below and awoke
my husband. We lay quiet and listened.
Presently there was another rustle.
Then a long silence. Then more rus-
tling, and as the sound of it died away
we could hear somebody swearing in a
whisper. It was so funny that my hus-
band burst into a roar of laughter, and
the fellow down stairs jerked the front
door open and fled. ”
“I don’t think scaring a burglar
away is enough punishment for him,”
commented an elderly woman. “He
ought to be hurt somehow. Mr. B.
thinks so, too, and his ‘warm welcome
for the uninvited’ is something that, as
he says, ‘just about fills the bill. ’ The
bolts on our front door and the are light
before it free us of all apprehensions of
attack from that direction, but twice
our house was entered by petty thieves
through the back door, which faces a
dark garden and is in the shadow of a
vine covered porch. The second time
inspired Mr. B. with an idea. At one
side of the door, about the height of a
man’s face, he fastened to the wall a
springy bamboo cane, with a tin cup
wired to its free end. During the day
it can be turned up on the wall out of
the way, but at night, when he sets it
fe .t and held there by a short stick and
a gure 4 trigger so set that opening
the door will trip it. The tin cup, I
omitted to mention, hdlds a good ounce
of cayenne pepper.
“For a month after Mr. B. rigged
that contrivance up nothing happened,
and he was getting low spirited over
the neglect‘of the burglars totake note
of his new invention. Then, one night,
the sharp ‘spang’ of the cane against
tne wall rang sharply all through the
house and woke us up. That was fol-
lowed immediately by lnnguage on the
back porch fit to make your blood run
cold. We got to the window-in time to
see two men in the garden, one leading
the other, who was howling and swear-
ing terribly. We fancied that some of
the pepper had got into his eyes. Before
dirappehred in tho shmbbcry, and we
have not been troubled since. ”
“That trigger, set to go off when the
door was opened,” remarked another
woman, “reminds me of a horrid thing
my husband brought home with him
from a trip out west last year. It was
like a pistol barrel, with a long screw
on one side for fixing it to the door
frame and a long spring on the other to
project over the edge of the door. ,A lit-
tle touch would make the spring fall
hard on a cap and fire the thing off.
Th6 first night after Jack got home,
when I‘Was setting a chair upside down
against the door, as I always did, he
stopped me and put on his new contrap-
tion. When I got up first in the mom-
ing, as usual, I'hud forgotten all about
that thing, which was down as low as
my knees, and did not notice it when
I Went to go out. Then it suddenly
seemed tome as if theworld had ex-
ploded. The thing had worked all right,
and in addition to makinganoise louder
than the sunset gun at the fort, had rid;
died the vestibule wall with buckshot.
Jack said ‘it would have filled a bur-
glar’s legs with lead,’ and I believed
him, but I never would allow him to
