NOT MORE.

My life has found its noontide, and my days Have jcone in quiet by to outward gaze, In such side place:-! have lay i'eet been set, So few of all my fellows have I met, So small tho ground my scanty strength could gain To hold and till. What wonder if the prain 1 reap is told by short and slender sheaves. And if lie re ilowers might, bloom are only leaves, Yet shall I sorrow that my friends are few, That wealth I have not, that my power to do Is held in narrow bounds? Tin.' power to be Is mine, unchained, to grow as fast, as free As winged wind that blows across the night Or morning sunshine on a mountain height. So I, deed poor, may have whereof to yield To you, brave worker, in a wider field. If what I am lias blessed your lot. my own, l.ask not more than my still life has known. —Aurilla Furber Housekeeper.

A P1U3IEYAL 8T031Y.

Chug did not know that ho belonged in tho post tertiary period of tho world as he stood beside tho tawny waters of a great inland sea whose waves gently washed tho warm shores of the young earth.

Ho was in Kansas, although ho was not awaro of it, although as ho stood he looked off into tho northwest anxiously for the clouds that would bring rain to break the drought.

The littlo brook which now winds through tho valley where he stood is a mere glimmering ghostlet of its mighty post tertiary predecessor, tho sea.

Chug was young and litho and stalwart, like tho machairodns of the cataclysmic caves. His whole body was hard as wood and covered with a coat of thick nut brown hair that harmonized with tho reddish beard that flowed over his broad chest as that of a post tertiary Puffer.

His heavy maiio of weather beaten locks had never felt a hat. About his loins from ono shoulder was draped tho skin of a cavo lion.

A ponderous mace of flint lashed by leather thongs to the haudio lay at his feet.

Chug, who derived his namo from the sound «f tho mighty blow with which ho smote to death tho cavo lion whoso hide ho wore, was not thinking of tho pterodactyl from which he narrowly escaped tho night before.

Nor did ho notice tho cyclopeau crocodiles in tho sea. His thoughts were sad and roamed afar.

At a distance, too great for his computation, lie had been born amid a littlo clan of post tertiarians.

A strange impulse, such as his brothers and sisters had never known, came over him.

Tho monosyllable conversation of his kin mado him tired. Chug was wont to twine wild flowers in his hair and wear sandals of woolly hippopotamus hide. "Spat-Spat," a young woman who oould skin an Irish elk quicker than any woman of the clan and who scorned tho luxury of sandals or robes of liido, ono day pointed her reeking finger at Chug as she paused in her work and cried contemptuously, "Dude, dude!" "You didn't say 'dude' when I saved you from tho claws of the ichthyosaurus!" retorted Chug and passed on.

Thus Chug galhcred up his weapons and went forth alone and wandered from his own fireside.

Long he had pondered over tho mystery of life. He had repeated in his sleep the refrain, "There are others.

If his clan existed, he argued, why not other clans somewhere? Was it not possible that in their society he could lose that tired feeling which had so oppressed him?

But moons had come and waned, ho had traversed unknown leagues of morass and forest, crossed the tide of rushing rivers, and still nothing but packs of great hyenas, trumpeting mammoths, giant graminivorous and carnivorous mammalia and monstrous reptiles and amphibia.

Man was nil, and woman existed hdfc. If Chug Lad lived nowadays, ho would liavo known what troubled his breast.

Ho would have fouud love in the eyes of beauty and become happy. Poor Chug did not understand love. His soul yoarned unconsciously.

His thoughts went back homeward. It had not been quite so bad thero as in this solitude.

He thought of how he built a bouso for his mother of the ribs of a horned iguandon that in lifo was 70 feet loug, with legs thick as the fluted columns of a Corinthian temple.

He rocalled how he used to arise early and build the fire, and how ho once had mashed his finger while chopping kindling with tho old stono ax.

An idea camo to him as he stood thero looking across the great sea. Why not float upon its bosom on a raft and mayhap como upon another people?

Chug worked with feverish fervor, and in two days was launched upon his hazardous journey.

But, alas, as he was putting to shore a few days thereafter, an air breathing, oold blooded pleiosaurus, which was hidden in the reeds, suddenly shot its horrible head at him, its long, flexible neck seeming like a monstrous serpent.

Chug pushed away madly, toro himself loose from the jagged jaws, but fainted across his raft, and tho tawny waters bore it out to sea, the rude funeral car of a post tertiary hero.

For days the apparently dead voyager floated. His system stood the strain, and the spark of lifo remained duo to the fashion of the time of eating but once a •week or so.

Chug had dined the day prior to his misadventure. Old Chief Tusho-tushe of tho fishermen at the mouth of the river, now known as tho Arkansas, intercepted the raft and found Chug.

After duo consideration among the tribe it was decided to put him to death. The Tushe-tushes had dwelt by the sea many generations, and the legends gave their origin as the children of a

gigantic mastodonsaurus which had formerly infested the coast. Their village was on the site of tha piuseut city of Wichita, somewhere lvjar tho soap works, ::::d was laid out iu town lots even into tho bed of tho sea.

They wero brown skinned, beardless, and with hair black as tho alluvial soil and stiff as the whiskers of the giaut post tertiary leopard.

Their numbers had brought about many improvements in tho mode of living, such as wearing loin cloths of native grasses and the hanging of shells from tho ear and nose.

For generations the fashion of flattening the forehead had prevailed. Chug had small hands and feet, was hairy as a cave lion and wore whiskers, and besides his head was not flattened.

Such a monstrosity could not bp per-. mit'tud to live.

During Chug's convalescence his days wero sweet with newness. Instead of bullet headed Spat-Spat, covered with fur liko a megatherium, here was a creature with a head like a triangle, and with a graceful figure, smooth and soft to tho touch, and tho broiled steak of post tertiary reindeer was charming to his palate. ,,

Tho vocabulary of tho language of Chug and Sunbird contained but 000 words find nurse, and invalid could soon converse.

So happy was (.'hug that ho hated to tell the story ot the passion which filled his heart, and lie reserved it irom day to dav.

But his stalwart form trembled with emotion as Sunbird's hand gently smoothed tho fur of Ins broad shoulders.

When Sunbird's father comprehended tho trend of affairs he did not gratu his teeth because, as a matter of fact, he was a fish eater and toothless.

But he sp iko his mind. "Come—tho jig is up!" ho shouted, and dragged Chug to tho place oi execution.

This denouement astonished Chug so much that he was pinioned by withes of elastic bush before ho could mako up his mind to resist.

Tho executioner brandished a ponderous dinotherium tusk, when Sunbird dashed through tho throng of Tushetusb.es and wrested it from him. "Stand b-a-c-k!" she shrieked, with tho furious mien of a post tertiaiy saber... toothed tigress robbed of her cubs. "I love him, and if ho dies I d-i-e with him!" cried Sunbird as the tribesmen wavered before her as before tho awful presence of a 50 foot high pterodactyl. "What! that hairy animal with small hands and f^et and littlo round head— that Populist ireak!" yelled tho old chief. "I lovo him becauso ho is so different from other men, papa, lie is so perfect lv unconventional!'...." replied Sunbird. "That's all right, said old Tushotusho as la released ('hug and blessed his children. "It will bo my turn to laugh when you want, a divorce, young woman! Remember that Chicago is only 20,000 years hence!"

But Cnug eventually became chief of tho tribe, and through his example thepeoplo became exceedingly mild mannered and took to whisker raising.— Kansas City Star.

A Durham miner, aged 78, visited a Newcastle lawyer, a bachelor, for the purpose of making his will. The old man's property consisted of two small cottages, which had cost him £150, and a little furniture.

"What age is your old woman?" asked the lawyer. "Seventy-two," replied the miner. "And how long have you and your wife beon married?" asked the lawyer. "Over 50 years," replied the miner.

Thereupon the lawyer suggested to his client that ho should give the wife the interest during her lifo, whether she continued a widow or otherwise. "Hinney, I winnot. I'll hov mo aan way," said the miner. "But, suroly," replied tho lawyer "you don't espect your old woman, now 73 years old, would marry again after your death?"

The miner, looking the lawyer full in the face, answered with much solemnity: "Wey, hinney, thor's nao kuaaing" what young cheps liko yourself will dc*--for money."—London Tit-Bits.

Tho natural curiosity of tho Tushetushes, however, impelled them to nurse Chug to life to seo wiiac ho was liko when well.

The job of nursing Chug fell to Sunbird, tho only daughter of tho old chief. She marveled at the brawny proportions of the strange voyager.

She whiled away tho long hours by platting his whi.-kers and grooming his brown fur until ho shono liko a blooded carriage horse.

Sunbird was young and imnressionable. She bad been wooed by every youth of tho clan, had listened for awhile, and then repulsed every man of them.

No woman of the tribe was so beautifully shaped as Sunbird, nor was thero so smart a fiathead among the Tushetushes.

She had a Trilby foot and tho shoulders of a Lillian Russell. Her old father loved her devotedly, still lie eluded her. "You are getting much too yay for tho tribe, my precious darling," ho would say in his blunt, rough way.
