MUSE AND MATRIMONY

By T. SHERWOOD BOYD

“Do you know,** remarked Gerald GoodseD, “I think I shall take to writing poerty." Nettle Ainsworth gave a little laugh as she settled herself more comfortably in the big chair. “Who ever heard of a poet with a waist line larger than his chest measurement?” she teased. “I say,” lie cried, “I’iu not to blama because I’m—er—plump—am I?” “You're not to blame, Gerry," she laughed, “but you cannot have indigestion and the fires of genius within you at the same time." "But I have a splendid digestion,” he persisted. “Four meals a day never feaze me.” “Poets,” counseled Nettle, “never have regular meals. When they lead regular lives they cease to become geniuses.” "But that’s all tom my rot,” be declared loftily. “I can be a genius and have the comforts of life, can’t I?” "If you are a very great geulus, Gerry, you may be able to live those band!-

"THAT'S WHAT I’VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY TO YOU FOR TWO YEARS."

caps dowu, but few men write good checks and good verse at the same time." “Well,” he said stubbornly, “I don’t think my checks would be protested, and I write verse. Bob Thompson said they were first rate. I read nlm some the other night.” "So that Is what he meant," mused Miss Ainsworth. “What’s what who meant?” demanded Gerald. "Why, Bob said be had been to see yon the other evening and had had one of the best laughs be has enjoyed in a long time," she explained. "He told me they were good." "No,” explained Nettle. “I think yon Will find that be said they were great” “It’s the same thing." “ ‘Great* is a word capable of a wider latitude of definition,” she reminded him. "Bead me some of the verses.” • Ton'll laugh,” b# contended. “No," aha promised; Til be very food and quiet” "Here's one I thought op last night,”

“My lady's eyes are blue and kind, Her charms are charms of face and mind, Her equal would be hard to find; 'Tls she I love most dearly. My lady's face Is pure and sweet. My lady's hair Is dainty, neat. And trim her tiny little feet, And she's an angel—nearly.” "I think that last line needs a little polishing,’’ said Miss Ainsworth gravely. “The lady of the lines might object to being called a near angel.” “I say,” cried Gerald In—shocked tones, “you don’t suppose I meant that, do you ? That’s poetic license—to make the rhyme, you know.” “Suppose you make It, ‘And she’s an angel, clearly?’” suggested Nettle. “That would be more polite.” Gerry’s face brightened. “It’s awfully good of you to suggest that,” he said. "It’s a whole lot better.” “Is there a second verse Nettle. "Not yet,” admitted Gerry, coloring. “You see, the different verses should be alike In meter. Now, when I start a second verse it sounds different. I had a second verse to this. It goes: "I never loved another girl With half the tender passion That keeps my head all In a whirl In this unusual fashion. If she would only give her love To one who loves her dearly, I*d think the stars In heaven above Like her eyes shone more clearly.” Ho paused expectantly. Mias Ainsworth admitted that the verses were scarcely of the aame metrical measurement. “I think,” observed Gerry, “that I’ll have the verse done In a booklet where there la only one verse to every other page and the rest of the paper Is covered with pictures. Then, you see, It would not matter so much.” “You should be an Inventor, Gerry,” counseled Miss Ainsworth. “I think you are more Ingenious than poetical." "But I want to be a poet,” he protested. “I’ve got such a lot of things that I dare not say to the girl herself. It’s the only way to let them come out.” Nettie smiled. “Now It all comes out.” she declared. “Who Is the lady, Gerry?" "I cannot tell you," said Goodsell, his face crimsoning. "You see. if I could get up the nerve to toll you her unme I wouldn’t have to write this stuff.” “Why don’t you write her a proposal in rhyme?" “Didn't 1 try?” he groaned. “I put In three weeks before St. Valentine's trying to find a rhyme for her name." “Now,” announced Miss Ainsworth triumphantly, “I know where one of my valentines came from.” “Rotten, wasn’t It?” he asked despairingly. "Well,” she admitted, "you might have fouud a better rhyme for my name than ‘let he.' ” “I worked four hours to get that," he asserted. “You try It and see how hard It Is.” She went to the table aud scribbled ou the tly leaf of a book. Then she brought It to him. Your name might be Eva or Grace Or Agnes or Annie or Letty, But It's not, and I'll make a brave race For the love of the fair lady Nettle. “See how easy It la?" she demanded as be looked up. “I can do It myself now,” he announced as be tu turn moved toward the table. Presently he returned to the fireplace. “Read this, please," he said as he handed her the sheet. On the other side of the paper she read: Her hair may be blond, black or red, Her name may be Hettie or Letty, But the girl I am anxious to wed Is a brunette, ahd her name 1* Nettle. “That’s what I’ve been trying to say to you for most two years,” he went on earnestly. “It may be bad verse, but I think I’ll make a better husband than I will a poet. Say ‘Yes,’ dear," he urged.

AntT Nettie said, "Yes, dear,” so softly that he bad Jo kneel beside her, with bis arms about her, to catch the whispered words.

Locomotive Fielded Ball.

In the baseball annals of Texas, Baltimore county, Is an Incident which, whether an actual occurrence or' not, has been repeated so often that it is invested with the force of fact. On a hot Fourth of July back in the eighties, when the catcher held bis position behind the bat without a mask and the pitcher knew of no curve or toe plate, there was a game of ball between the .Texas Sluggers and the Tlmonlum Little Potatoes, but Hard to Peel. The Sluggers bad got in some good stick work early In the game, and the visitors were Just feeling the big Texas pitcher. It was the fifth inning, and the Little Potatoes had two men on the bases, one on second and the other on first, when one of their home run hitters, who bad been asleep until this moment, struck the ball. It cleared the entire field and would have fallen on the railroad track, but Jnst at that moment a train came along, and the ball disappeared In the smokestack of the engine. The train was going at a lively speed up grade, and the force of the pufTs ejected the ball. The momentum of the train carried It until it fell in the third baseman’s bands, and a double play was the result. After much kicking from the Little Potatoes as to whether the play waa fair the side was retired, as the double play made three bands out.—Baltimore Bun.

The Polite Burgiars.

It is said that even the most gentlemanly of our burglars have much to learn from Japan in the way of politeness, If one may judge by a description of the manners of robbers in that country. Three men broke Into a dyer’s house while he was sway, and one of them gently asked the wife how much money there was In the place. She answered that there was Just a little in the house. The robber laughed and said: “You are a good old woman, and we believe you. If you were poor we would not rob you at all. Now, we only want some money and this,” placing his hand on a fine silk dress. The old woman replied: “All my husband’s money I can give you, but I beg you will not take that, for It does not belong to my husband and was confided to us only for dyeing. What Is ours I can give, but I cannot give what belongs to another.” “That Is quite right,” approved the robber, and he Immediately wlthdrewi with his confederates.

The Planet Mars.

“I am certain Mars is Inhabited,” said Gamille Flammarlon, “and probably by people much more advanced than we are. The year In Mars Is twice as long as ours—that Is to say, It really consists of 730 days. The public at large does not really know the precision of some of our astronomical observations. Thus we know the length of the day In Mars by diurnal rotation to the one-thousandth part of a second, and from observations, which have now extended over 100 years, we find the length of the day on the planet Is 24 hours 47 minutes 22 seconds. The climate of the Martians Is very mild; there are no gales, while the atmosphere Is very light, with scarcely any clouds. The Inhabitants enjoy fine weather, the climate being dry and clear. We know the globe of Mars perfectly; In fact, far better than the earth.”

The Word “Invention”

The old, general meaning of the word “Invention” seems strange to modern eyes and ears. “Invention” signifies simply “finding,” though the meaning of discovery has been specialized away from It In modern speech. Thus Hooker wrote of “that judicial method which seemeth best for the Invention of truth.” When Burton wrote of “the Invention of a geometrical problem” be meant Its solution. In the seventeenth century the circulation of the blood was described us “the best and most useful Invention of this latter age.” and In the eighteenth century Dr. Willis was referred to as “the first Inventor of the nervous system."

The Lead of Horseradish.

It almost makes the eyes water to read of the village of Balersdorf, In Bavaria, which is celebrated for producing the finest horseradish in Europe. On an area of moist ground, In the valley of the river Regnltz, covering 1.38 S acres, that titillating plant Is practically the only thing raised, and the annual yield amounts to about 0,000,000 pounds. Horseradish requires a great deal of attention from the cultivator, for Id midsummer the soil must be removed from the stems and tbe side roots rubbed off with a soft cloth, after which the stems are burled again. The plants spring up in March from the end roota, left In the soil the previous autumn, when the upper stems are cut off and packed In bar rels for shipment.

Freaks of Lightning.

A noted astronomer and scientist In a recent lecture iu Paris gave an account of some of the freaks of lightning. These freaks, however, he affirmed, were determined by causes which we have yet to learn. Sometimes It kllle, sometimes It merely injures and sometimes it seems to be frolicking In a way which gives rise to the hypothesis that “It Is a thought which, Instead of being attached to a brain, la attached to an electric current.” Sometimes It plays the physician, as In the Instance at Romalnes, France, when It ■truck a man who had not been able to walk without a cratch on account of rheumatism. After the shock the rheumatism disappeared.
