Newspaper and swords are all right in their way, but the pietty typewriter is more killing. An ad. in an eastern paper reads: “Bicycles for sale by a young lady enameled red and geared to 70." Eight matches a day are said to be used by every man, woman and child in the universe, but it frequently happens that the ones used by the children are the most effective. “What in the devil is I. G. R?"said a novice in the telegraph room of a newspaper office as it was flashed over the wire. "Why that is from Lord Kitchener," said the code man, "and means, ‘I greatly regret.' ” A Western live stock journal advises: "Kill the dog and buy a pig with the dollar you eave on dog tax. The scraps you feed would make a pig weigh 300 lbs, and then you can sell it and give your wife the money." Good suggestion. A tramp stole a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. When he appea red in court he explained that he saw in the advertisement that it was “easy to take.’’ so he took it. "Discharged,” said the judge. "I will go and take some myself." It is easy to take and is a perfect laxative. Sold by Smith.

We grow, and labor and suffer, catching the fragrance of fruits of happiness just enough to keep them from being commonplace. If the rose bush was all blossoms always there would be nothing about it to admire. If our life was all joy where would lie the comparison, and, without comparison, the gratification? Barring the shade and the shadow there would be one unvariable desert, an evanescent nothing of joy. Traveling is dangerous.

•AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA• : Princess Susette : : And the Sentry I By HARRY C. CARR £ Copyright, 1902, by the . 8. S McClure Company There was a vivid flash in the sunshine ns the sentry by the palace gate raised his saber in salute to the Trincess Susette. Her highness had run away from her nurse and stood peeking out curiously Into the great world beyond the gates. The children of the lodgekeeper were making mud pies in the creek that skirted the palace grounds. The Princess Susette wished that she, too, might make mud pies. The flash from the sentry's saber caught her eye. The Princess Susette meditatively sucked one little pink thumb and surveyed him with round eyed wonder. He looked big and terrible on bis great gray troop horse. “What makes you do that?” inquired Princess Susette plaintively, for the long saber at "present arms” was glimmering with little hot flashes of light. “Because you are a princess,” said the sentry briefly. A wave of discontent swept over the face of the Princess Susette. “I don't want to be a princess,” she wailed. "They won't let juu do nossiu' when you are a princess.” The sentry sat in frozen silence. The eye of the princess wandered back to the lodgekeeper's children making mud pies by the creek. "I wish 1 could make urud pies,” said her highness wistfully. The Princess Susette came timidly out from the gateway and touched the ! sentry's buzzar boot with a tiny dim- ; pled band. “Mr. Soldier,” she said softly, “I I wish I equid make mud pies.” “The orders are that nobody can pass the gate.” growled the sentry. The sweet lips of the Princess Susette quivered, and the big blue eyes of the Princess Susette filled with | tears. “Oh, Mr. Soldier,” she sobbed. “I’m such a lonely little girl! I wish I had | some one to play wiz.” The heart of the Princess Susette overflowed with woe. Her highness leaned heavily against the shoulder of the big war horse and wept bitter tears on the saber tacbe of the sentry. The boot of the sentry was streaked with royal tears, and the black from the sentry’s stiiTup strap begrimed the face of the princess. The sentry glared straight out to the front and center through a strange mist that dimmed the outlines of the gatepost opposite. The gray troop horse bent his head and softly nozzled the plump, heaving shoulders of the unhappy little Princess Susette. The light of an inspiration came into the tear stained face of the princess. She sat down in the middle of the road and peeled off her shoes and stockings. The little barelegged maid in stiff white lawn presented a queer figure of a princess as her highness paddled back to the sentry. “Mr. Soldier,” she began tentatively, but the speech died on her lips. She had just discovered that making figures in the dust with one's bare toe is the most fascinating amusement in the world. She was recalled from her absorbing occupation by the distant rattle of pony hoofs. Her nurse was in pursuit. The princess looked up eagerly at the sentry. “Mr. Soldier,” she said. The sentry looked straight out to the front and center and paid no heed. “Mr. Soldier!” this in a breathless panic. Still the sentry would not look, so she gave his leg a vicious pinch. The sentry's saber flashed again to “present arms.” “Can I go now?” asked the Princess Susette. “Nobody can pass,” said the sentry gruffly. The princess looked up at him slyly. “Mr. Soldier, nursy wouldn’t let me go barefooted because she said only little nobodies went barefoot I'm nobody now.” And the Princess Susette held up her shoes and stockings for him to see. On one side the sentry could bear the hoofbeats growing louder, and through the shrubbery be caught a glimpse of a pony cart driven bard. On the other side be heard the splash of water and the happy shout of the lodgekeeper's children. The lips of the lonely little princess wtre beginning to quiver again when the sentry’s saber flashed a defiant gleam as it rose in salute. "Pass!” said the sentry shortly. The Princess Susette. barelegged, ran down the road and shyly made her way into the bakery business with the lodgekceper’s children. The sentry glanced out of the corner of bls eye to the right of him, to the left of him. No one was nigh. Then be called cautiously after the Princess Susette: “Build a dam across the creek. That’s more fun than making mud pies.” When the pony cart came dashing up in hot haste, with a groom and a frightened nurse, the sentry, without a trace of expression In his face, wns staring at the gatepost opposite. “Where la the Princess Susette?” gasped the white faced nurse. The sentry sat in stern silence. It was against bls orders to talk. "Where is the Princess Susette?" demanded the nurse in sudden terror. The «»ntry stared on at the gatepost opposite, but beyond the gate came a childish treble that tbe nurse knew.

Tbe Princess Susette was shrieking I with delight over her first mud pie. The nurse grabbed tbe lines from the I groom and urged the pony forward by I jerking the lines backward after the manner of women. The sentry s horse moved majestically out from the gatepost and blocked the way. "Get out of the way!” ordered tbe nurse furiously. "You cannot pass!” said the sentry coldly. “I want the Princess Susette!” cried the nurse wildly. She jerked the pony's bead and tried to turn by the sentry, but a great gnuntht caught the pony’s bridle and held it in a vise. The nony, bewildered by the whip behind, began to plunge, and the groom had to run to his head. The distracted nurse scrambled from the cart and ran with flying skirts toward the gate, but the gray troop horse felt the dijf of sharp spurs and plunged desperately out to head her off. Crowded into a corner by the palace gate, the nurse called to tbe groom to drive on and get tbe Princess Susette. The troop horse wheeled, and the sentry whipped out a gleaming pistol ■from his saddle holster. "Halt!” he thundered, and tbe order rang in tbe ears of tbe groom like a pistol shot. The pistol looked big and black, and the gaunt soldier by tbe gate with his bearskin buzzar cap nnd the scarlet dolman over bis shoulder was terrible to look upon. The groom slunk back’, and tbe nurse wept in despair. **••*••

It was the best time the Princess Susette ever bad in her whole life. When she came back, tbe bair br.d straggled down into her highness’ face and there was a smudge of blue black mud across the tip of her highness' little snub nose. Her highness’ stockings, wet as a dishrag. were slung around her highness’ neck in a lovely way that tbe lodgekeeper's children had shown her. Tbe princess carried I one shoe in her baud; tbe other bad I floated off down the stream after a ' tempestuous career as an ocean liner, plying across tbe creek and carrying pebbles. Tbe princess sniffled with a cold in her bead, but tbe heart of the princess was glad. Tbe nurse, on tbe verge of hysterics, waited on the other side of tbe sentry line, like a football player ready to I tackle. But tbe Princess Susette turned back to the sentry. “Mr. Soldier.” she said. The sentry was staring fixedly at tbe gatepost “Mr. Soldier,” she said, tugging at bis boot, “Mr. Soldier, I fink I would like to kiss you.” The sentry looked down out of the corner ofr his eye at the sweet little flushed face. The sentry sheathed his drawn saber with a clang. The sentry reached down bis two big gauntlets to the Princess Susette. » • » The nurse and the groom were horrified at tbe spectacle. Representative Wnmliin gt on, Discussing the differences between Washington and other American cities in an article on “Tbe Capital of Our Democracy” in Tbe Century, Henry Loomis Nelson says: "If Washington is not like the typical American city, how, then, can it be the city of America, tbe one city above all others in the land where tbe stranger can most satisfactorily study national traits? If Its people are not bubbling over with boiling energy; if it is not shaken with tbe national fever and ague, one day burning with tbe beat of a ‘boom’ and another day shaking with the chill of a panic; if most of its men are not struggling for money all day and rushing home to slippers and rest at evening; if the wives and daughters of many of tbe more successful of these hunters for wealth are not vain seekers after social distinction; if the idle American nobility is not dominating in its society, as It is in our other American cities, why is life in Washington characteristically American? Because it is all America on an even footing and all America In repose, with time to be idle. It Is America not engaged in making its living or its fortune.” Payne-a Verse and the Rejoinder. There are many anecdotes and reminiscences of the author es "Home, Sweet Home.” but perhaps nothing better than the following, says the Philadelphia Times. In 1835 Payne spent some time in tbe south and formed the acquaintance of a daughter of ■fudge Samuel Goode of Montgomery. The woman, like others of her sex about that lime, kept an “album," to which her friends were, of course, asked to contribute. Payne was applied to, and this is what he wrote: Lad>, your name. If understood. Explains your nature to a letter: And may you never change from Goode Unless if possible to better. The man who was asked to fill the opposite page happened to be Mirabeau of Lnmnr, afterward president of tbe Lone Star Republic of Texas. And this was bis response: I am content with being Goode, To alm at better would be vain; But If 1 do 'tls understood, Whate'er the cause. It is not Payne. An Old Idea. Macaulay wns not tbe first man to frame tbe famous image of the mnn of a new civilization standing amid the ruins of that which we know today. Long before be wrote of bls traveler from New Zealand meditating upon London bridge Mrs. Barbauld bad used the same image, with the difference that she applied It to Blackfrlnrs bridge. An earlier revk .ver had used it in an article published in 17C7, we are told by an English commentator, and Horace Walpole says in one of bls letters. "At last some curious traveler from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul s."

An eastern man wants to marry the woman who went over the Niagara falls in a barrel. Probably, thinks the lowa State Register, he wants to tend door at the museum where she will be exhibited.
