THE MIST LOVE.

If my memory serves me right I had reached that stage in life when I eought anxiously in the glass for the long expected down that was to form the nucleus of a mustache that should be the envy of mankind when I decided to marry J.oll.e, the doctor's cook. Looking back it is a long way to look I am ready to admit that there were many objections to such a match. To begin with, I vas somewhat young to think of matrimony, insomuch that I had only reached the age of 15, while Mollie was six or seven years my senior. Again, I was not In a position to support a wife, and, as I see now, my affections were inspired rather by Mollie's excellent cheesecakes and succulent jam rolls which invariably made me sigh for half a dozen appetites than by her buxom figure and applelike cheeks. When I informed my "chum." Butters, of my resolve, he looked at me queerly, thrust his hands in his pockets, and said, "Oh, Lor'!" "I mean it," I said. "Well, I always thought you were a bit sweet on her, ever sirce you broke your arm and she used to give you cream and stuff. She's a jolly girl, is Mollie. I wouldn't mind marrying her myself. "You'll be my best man, then?" I asked. "Certainly, but look here, old chap, have you thought seriously about this?" and he hooked his arm through mine and drew me aside. "Seriously?" "Yes; have you thought what a heap of things people want who get married?" "What sort of things?" "Oh! chairs and tables and and frying pans. Where do you expect to get 'em from? They cost an awful lot." I was silent. To tell the truth. I had not considered the practical side of the question. My affection was above all sordid detail. "There's a house, too," Butters pursued. "Where are you going to live?" "Oh! er we shall go on as we are for a bit." Butters stared. "You mean, Mollie'll stop at the doctor's, and you'll go on having lesons?" "Yes." "Oh! but that's 'rot.' you know. We can't have a married man in the ßchool. The doctor won't stand it." "He'll never know, fat head. It's going to be a secret marriage." "Oh, crikey! At the registry offlce?" I nodded. "I wonder how much It ccsts. I shall have to ask." "You'd better ask Mollie first." Butters returned. "She may object to a secret marriage. There'll be no calling her name out before the congregation or cake or presents. I say, old WE FOUHT IT OUT. chap, fancy a wedding withou cake or presents. Why, people get heaps of nobby things when they're married. Silver cigarette cases and walking Sticks." I kicked the gravel ruefully. "It can't be helped," I answered regretfully. "After all. It'll be more romantic." "Why, yes: there is that about It You might elope with her, you know. Get her through the window, and have a rope ladder and a coach and four waiting In the lane. Only she's rather a lump to pull through a window. I say, what a lark it would be If she stuck and the doctor nabbed you. My! what a wopping you'd get." I am afraid I betrayed some symptoms of uneasiness here. Butters had a nasty habit of looking on the black side of things. But his words did not damp my passion. I loved Mollie I felt certain on this point. Yes, I loved her, though it would have taken me all my time to encircle her waist with both arms. There was a pause. "You'll tell me how you do it?" Butters said. "How I do what?" "Why. propose, you know." "Oh er yes." Shall you kiss her?" "Shall I?" "They generally do, only you'll have to stand on a stool to do It, for she's a good head taller than you. and mind, when you propose you'll have to go down on your knees." "On my knees?" "It's the proper thing I know, because I saw young Evergreen propose to my sister Flo. She refused him. though. By the by, you'll want a ring. I'll give you that one I got out of the prize packet for your white rat." "Let's have a look at It." He pulled it out. It looked very like gold, and in a few minutes I had parted with my white rat, and the ring was transferred to my waistcoat pocket." "When shall you see her?" he asked, as the bell rang. "Perhaps tomorrow." "I wouldn't put on my best pants If I were you. It makes an awful mes3 of 'em. kneeling does." That evening I had a quiet stroll In the doctor'3 grounds, to think matters over. While I was thus engaged James, the gardener, came along with the watering can. As a rule, we fellows were seldom on good terms with Jne3. for he always suspected us of BftTS designs on his fruit, but this evening he was quite pleasant and

a3ked me if I'd like a pear to come with him. Of course I did, for Jame3 pears are just prime. It was a real juicy one he picked, and it melted in my mouth like butter. "Good ain't it, Master Carraway?" he said. I nodded. My mouth was too full to speak. "Now. I wonder if I might be so bold as to ask you to do me a favor, Master Carraway?" he went on, eyeing me a bit doubtfully. "Why, of course you may, James. I'll do anything for you I can." "Thank you sir, thank you kindly. It ain't much only just to give this letter to Mollie, the cook. You see. Master Carraway, I don't like goin to the house over-often, for the other servants they plague Mollie about it, an she don't like it; so if you'd kindly give it to her you'd be doin' me a great favor." "Oh, I'll give ii to her right enough." "Thank you, sir. It's It's rather important." Then James stopped.went red and smiled foolishly. "Important, is it?" "Yes, sir. I know you're a sensible young gent, Master Carraway. I've often said sc to Mollie. so I don't mind telling yuu that it's about gettin' married." "About " "Yes, sir. I've been thinking of It for some time, an' now the doctor's give me a rise, an' I've got Joe Barnes cottage, I don't see any reason why we should wait any longer. It's most as cheap to keen two as one. Master Cam way, an' she's a capital manager. I don't see as 'ow I can do better." "Who is she, James?" I asked, not. it must be confessed, without a touch of misgiving. He looked at me in surprise. "Who? Why, Mollie." "You're you're going to marry her?" "Yes. sir. The banns'll be put up on Sunday, and I've brought the ring. A guinea I give for it. But ve another pear. Master Carraway." But I had no heart for pears at that moment, and I made my way back to the house, scarcely heeding James' reminder about the letter. Perhaps I had some thought of destroying that missive, but then I reflected that such an act could do no good. Everything was practically settled. Mollie was lost to me forever. I told Butters, and asked him to take back the ring, as I had no further use for it, but he refused to do this, and we fought it out at the end of the cricket ground behind the trees. I got a black eye, and also fifty lines for fighting. Mollie did her best to console me by giving me some of her best cheesecakes. If I could always be sure of such cheesecakes I wouldn't mind impositions every day I wouldn't mind losing Mollie herself.

Automobiles in I'uri. On Easter Sunday, this year, the first installment of automobile cabs was placed at the disposal cf the Parisian public. As soon as they issued from the depot at Aubervilliers they were mo.n eagerly sought after, and gave most satisfactory results. The number of these vehirles is daily increased, and the Cumpjgnie Generale des Voitures expects, after a month's trial, to be in a position to judge of the convenience or drawbacks of the present type of cabs. These vehicles are provided with accumulators enabling them to travel from GO to ki) kilometers (37 to 41) miles J, without recharging the Latteries. The tariff varies according to the number of pers-jns. Fur one or two pa.-sougars the ordinary cab faro is applied, viz.: l.üu or 2 francs, per hour; for three persons. 2 francs the journey, and four persons, 1.Ö0 francs. The eventual adoption of automobiles for general use in Paris, as well as throughout France, seems to be a foregone conclusion; but there is no doubt that the tremendous speed at which private individuals with their motor tricycles and other experimental automobiles dash about the streets has a tendency to discourage the adoption of automobiles by those who would otherwise make purchases. By daily observation in Paris, it is easy to see that improvements are constantly being made in doing away with, the objectionable odors, excessive vibration and noise. They Wtre Abteilt Minded. The follow 'ng anecdotes about absence cf mind were related by Rev. Sidney Smith: "The oddest instance happened to me." he said, "in forgetting my own name. I knocked at a door In London and asked if Mrs. B. was at home. 'Yes, sir. Pray, what name shall I say?' I looked In the man's face, astonished. What was my name? I -believe the man thought me rr ad, but it is literally true that during the space of two or three minutes I had no more idea of who I was than if I had never existed. I did not know whether I was a dissenter or a layman. At last, to my great relief, It flashed across me that I was Sidney Smith. 1 heard also of a clergyman who went jogging along the road until he came to a turnpike. 'What is to pay?' he asked. 'Pay, sir? for what?' returned the turnpike man. 'Why, my horse, to be sure.' 'Your horse, sir! what horse? Here is no hors.e!' 'No horse? Why, bless me!' he said, suddenly looking down, 'I thought I was on horseback!' " MMmp of N'ervom Man. A Philadelphia real estate man, when going through a vacant house the other evening to see that all was well, heard a slight noise behind him. Turning slightly, he saw the form of a man. As the broker was not armed, he did not like the Idea of meeting a burglar in combat, and, besides, he is very timid, so he rushed to the door and fumbled with the lock, all the time yelling at the top of his lungs. When he got the door opened he looked back and then saw that the "burglar" was really his own reflection in the large drawing-roorn mirror. He had no sooner made this discovery than he was seized by two policemen, who were attracted by his screams, and it took nearly half an hour lor him to explain that he was not a housebreaker himself. Lots of bright hope Is exchanged for gloomy experience.

A GKAXD OLD MAN.

WILLIAM S. HOLMES A VETERAN OF SAN JACINTO. Owns the Sword of (Jen. Orcene An Interesting Helic of the Kevolutioit in the Possession of a Veteran of San Jai into. (Caldwell, Tex., Letter.) Of the 7S3 Texans that Gen. Sam Houston led against Santa Anna's veteran army, on the field of San Jacinto, just sixty-three years ago, not more than half a dozen were present at the recent reunion. If Uncle Billy Holmes of Burleson county, had been able to carry the weight of his SI years to the battle ground he would also l ave carried with him a sword that possesses a remarkable history, and some of the old warriors would doubtless have recognized the fine blade as the one that was carried by Capt James L. Holmes of Kentucky, during the early part of the campaign of 1S3G, and after his death by his son. William S. Holmes, the present owner, until the en 1 of the war. The history of this magnificent weapon is well authenticated, at least since revolutionary times, though the scabbard has suffered from abrasion until scarcely a letter of the inscription, that at one time decorated it. can be made out. Uncle Billy says that when he was a boy there were many veteran? of the revolutionary army still living in his neighborhood in Kentucky, and that he frequently heard these old warriors talk of the famous sword and confirm its history as related by his father. He distinctly remembers the speech that was made Ly no less a personage than Senator John J. Crittenden, when the sword was presented to Capt. Holmes In 1S2G, when they were starting to Texas to join Gen. Houston's army. The sword was brought into the camp by a daughWM. S. ter of Col. Grooms. It was wrapped In a banner that the ladies of Queensborough presented to one of the military companies. When the great orator unfurled the new flag he found another old battle-stained Hag beneath it and inside of this was the sword. When Senator Crittenden slowly uncovered this flag gray-haired veterans gathered about it with uncovered heads. Tears were streaming over the patriotic orator's face, and it was several moments before he could find words to express his feelings. He had recognized a torn, blood-stained banner of the revolution. Col. Grooms, who presented the sword to Capt. Holmes, said that it had been bequeathed to him by William O. Butler of South Carolina, an officer of Gen. Greene's army, who had frequently won the approbation of the commanding general by acts of heroic fearlessness In the fate of the enemy. Upon one occasion a company of British infantry, protected by a large barn, so seriously annoyed the American army tha it became necessary to dislodge them at all hazards. Realizing that a charge upon the enemy's cover would be attended with great loss of life. William O. Butler took a hand grenade In one hand and a lighted torch In the other, and spurring his horse at the barn he threw both through a window. The grenade exploded, and almost Instantly the structure was wrapped In flames. Gen. Greene was so much pleased with the heroic audacity of the gallant soldier that he presented him with the sword that he was wearing at the time, saying that Gen. Washington had given it to him, but he only promised "to carry it until he found a patriotic soldier more worthy to wield it." There is no method of telling anything about the previous history of the sword, but a connoisseur In such matters pronounces It one of the finest pieces of metal ever u?ed by warriors in any age. and he thinks that It has been in use for several centuries. The blade can be bent until the point touches the hilt, and It Is so much worn that at least three such blades could be thrust into the scabbard. The scahl ard, of pure silver, which was evidently highly ornamented, Is now almost as thin as a sheet of paper. The hilt Is made of Ivory, and the artistic carvings certainly reveal the touches of a master hand. Capt. James L. Holme carried the famous sword through the old Indian wars, and he flourished It tu the face of the British and Indians at the battle of the Thames, where Tecumseh fell.

It had been loaned to him by Co!. Grooms, and he never owned it until he started to Texas to re-enforce Gen. Houston with two companies of Kentuckians. Capt. Holmes died a short time after the battle of San Jacinto In Camp Johnson. On his deathbed he prented the sword to his son, William S. Holmes. Uncle Billy served in the Texas army until the end of the war, and he then settled on a "headright" on the Brazos, where he has resided until very recently. "I have lived," he says, "in three counties, and never moved." In 1S42 Uncle Billy went to San Antonio and helped drive the invading army commanded by the French Gen. Wall across the Rio Grande. During his long life on the frontier much of his time has been passed in camp and fighting Indians with the old Ranger companies. He was one of Gen. Houston's warmest personal friends, and constant political supporters. When the war broke out Uncle Billy's ideas on the subject of secession were in accord with those of his distinguished friend of the old Lone Star republic. They were opposed to a dissolution of the union, as were thousands of other brave Texans whose bones lie fertilizing the fields of Virginia. Gen. Houston did not follow his favorite son into the Confederate service, where the loftiest position certainly awaited him, but he advised Uncle Billy when he went to see his boys, who were with Lee in Virginia, to take the sword of the revolution' with him, and they say that on many hotly contested fields he wielded it with vigor and valor. When the war ended he simply said: "I to'.d you so," and returned to his plantation on the Brazos, where he has since lived, a highly honored and respected citizen. BRAZOS.

FRENCH MINISTER OF WAR. When M. Charles de Freycinet today tendered his resignation of the war portfolio to M. Dupuy, the premier, HOLMES. M. Dupuy immediately summoned a meeting of the cabinet, which M. de Freycinet did not attend. At the conclusion of the cabinet meeting M. Dupuy had a conference with President Loubet with the result that M. Camille Krauntz. minister of public works, was appointed to succeed M. de Freycinet. Senator Monestier has been selected as minister of public works. M. Camille Krauntz, the new minister of war, said in the course of an interview that he fully realizes the difficulties surrounding the office to which he has been appointed, but he declared that he had a perfectly open mind with regard to the Dreyfus affair. He never had been connected with the affair. It Is understood that M. Krauntz will clean his department of everyone who was mixed in any way with Dreyfus. M. de Freycinet's resignation was a MINISTER KRAUNTZ. great surprise to French politicians, but It is the general impression that he was anxious to escape a probable debate in the near future. iolnjj to School. A rural schoolmaster has among his scholars three, whose ages were, respectively, 72, C4 and 55 years. "You don't mean to say," said an astonished visitor, "that those old men are going to school for the first time in their lives?" "That's right," replied the schoolmaster; "they hain't had time till now! An' they wouldn't be at it new, only they've made up their minds to git married, an as the gals they air to marry air all good readers and writers they don't want to 'pear ignorant when they settles down,fcr life!"
