0 BROTHER ESAUSI
en oome and go in the thronging street, They wander the worldwide sea, hey tread the forest with eager feet. They roam like the sea bird free, we, in the mirk of the clanging marts, Drudge the dull hours away. or our need—for their need who are near our hearts (God help as{)—we have sold the day.
he wind sings glad up the frosty sky, The mad clouds flurry over, blown gull swoops high veering by And calls to his comrade rover. The striving trees toss free their gold
In the riot of wild November, And we who roamed with the winds of old In our servile cells remember.
Brother Esaus under the sun, Who have sold for earthly lure Free heaven's hue and the sea's broad bine,
God's primogeniture. Was never a way but this—to sit Tims, here—and to feel without How the blown pines groan and the shrill gulls flit
And the pltynlng billows shout?
O Brother .Esaus who yearn for the sky And dream of the splendors lost, Who eat tho bread ye have bought thereby.
Do ye count the bitter cost# Through the citied world our hosts bend low Over their sordid task, While the free winds blow and the rivers flow
And sun glad cattle bask.
But we, oh, pity us, Jacob, brother— We who have sold to ycu» Tho blessing of wood and* ridging flood
And consecrating dew— We, in the mirk of our clanging marts, Drudge life's brief best away. For our needs—for their needs who are near our hearts (God help us I)—we have sold the day. —Herbert .Bates in Chap Book.
LOVED HER FRIEND.
She had whispered, "Yes, Jack, I love you," iu response to his question. His kisses were still warm on her lipa Their hearts were beating in unison, though not so fcumultuously as before, and now that the first rapture and thrill were over thoy were asking questions and making their little confessions after the manner of lovers on the threshold of an engagement. "How many times have I been in love before? Now, Jack, do you think that is a fair question?" she asked, meeting his look with a roguish glance. "Why, certainly it is, Dora," here •plied earnestly. "You say you love me, so it doesn't really make any difference about tho others. They're done for now, but 1 think 1 ought to know. Still, if there are so many of them"— "Please stop, Jack. I won't have you saying such dreadful things, and with that look on your face," she interrupted, playfully placing her hand over his mouth, but quickly withdrawing it when ho attempted to kiss it. "How dare you," she exclaimed, "after the way you've been talking?" "Well, if you don't want me to say things why don't you answer my question?" "Must 1, Jack?" "1 am afraid you must, my dear." "And you won't hate me after I tell, will you?" "Well"— 'That depends,' you. are going to say. You needn't hesitate so long. I can reud your thoughts." "(Jan you? That's convenient for you, I'm sure. 1 wish 1 could read yours then I'd know tho answer to my question. "Would you really like to know?" "Why, yes, or I shouldn't havo asked it."
Well, Jack, if it will relieve your mind uny to know it you have no predecessors." "Are you sure, Dora?" "Yes, Jack. You are the first and only." "Thanks awfully, Dora. I'm glad to hear it, and now that question is
Bottled
we will"— "Gh, no, my boy! You don't get off qui to so easily as that I I want your confesaion now. About how many dozen times have you been in love, pray tell?"
Jack Vernon winced. He hadn't counted on (his exactly. "Come, young mail, you are now on the witness stand, sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but tho truth!" she continued baiiteriugly "Must I?" said Jack, helplessly repeating her question of a few minutes before. "1 am afraid you must, my dear," mimicked she. "But 1 am afraid you will hate me afur 1 confess." "la tho record, then, so long?" "No. It is a very short oue. I have never loved but once—before." "And she—she refused you?" "No I never asked her." "Why not? You see, 1 want the whole story now."
Because of pride. She was a wealthy heiress, I a penniless lawyer, with my fame and fortune yet to make. I loved her I am not ashamed to say it JShe was woman that one could uot help loving she was all to me then that you are now, and"— "And more. Go on and say it, Jack. I waut the whole truth." "No, I won't say that, but she was the first, and love was a new sensation to me then, and if 1 had been her equal la wealth and station I might—but, pshaw! What's the use of telling you all this? It is all over now. Her love was not for me 1 have put it aside—and, besides, I have you. But why are you looking so sober, Dora? Have I confessed too much? Yon wanted the whole truth, you know." "Yes, and I am glad you were brave enough to tell it How long ago was it that—that this happened?" she faltered. "Thm years." "And her uame?" she asked, in low tones. "Need 1 tell that?" "Yes, please," said Dora faintly. "Edith Burton."
Dora's face grew suddenly pale. "1 thought perhaps she wastheone," the said in a voice that Jack scarcely laooguixed. "Why, do you know her?" he exUaimed in surprised "I used to room with her at boarding
school," answered Dora. She had regained control of her voice now. "She is a good, noble woman, far better than I am, and I don't wonder that you love her." "You mean loved," corrected Jack. "My love for her is in the past tj^nse, not the present." tvf 'Tirue lo7e never die,' quoted Dora gravely. "Wasn't it the divine William who said that? But there, Jack, we have talked enough of love for one evening. Don't you think so?" DrS "But you haven't promised to many 'me yet." "Yon didn't ask me that question.
You simply asked me if I loved you, and you got your answer, I believe." "And I am to take the rest for granted, eh?" "Well, no. Nothing should be taken for granted in this world. I'll give you your answer, but not now. I think I'd better send it to you in writing." "My, my! How formal we are getting all at once. But, after all, I think .1 prefer it that way then 1 can carry your note next to my heart for a mascot until you are mine for good and all. Shan't I run over here for it tomorrow morning? I'm anxious to get it as soon as possible." "No. I'll mail it to your office in New York." "All right, Dora, and now just one before I go." He bent down and planted a kiss on her unresisting lips. "Thanks, dear. Now, please forget that there ever was any other girl and don't look quite so sober the next time I call. I'll be over again Wednesday evening if nothing happens. Good night, Dora." "Good night, Jack."
When Jack Vernon reached his office in Temple court the next morning, he found "Dora Stevens' note awaiting him. Tearing it open, he read:
BROOKLYN, N. Y., 9:80 p. m., March 15. DEAR A cp—The love I expressed for you an hour ago I find has turned to pity, and I am going to make you happy by sending to you the only woman you have a right to marry. After hearing your confession and know ing what I do 1 could never be happy with you. I Uhow you think you are in love with me, but the tendrils of your heart are still intwined around that early love, and—and ahe needs you more than I do. 1 told you sho was my school mate years ago. I still regard her as one of my dearest triends, and, though we have never njet Bince we graduated, we have always kept up a correspondence. 1 inclose my latost letter from her, received two months ago. 1 did not know until tonight who the man was that sho loves. 1 know now, and I wish you both all the joy that life in each other's society can bring you. Go to her, Jack, and make her happy, and my blessing and prayers will go with you. Not good night this time, but good by I Ever your friend. DORA.
The inclosure ran as follows: ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 14. MY DEAR DORA—NO, 1 am not eimaged yet and never expect to be. 1 have had pleirty of chances to confer my hand and fortune, es pecially the latter, upon aspiring applicants, but I have declined them all. I have never met a man 1 really cared for except one, and I be lieve he cared for me at a time. Perhaps he does yet but, alas, he discovered that I was an heiress, and then pride (he was a young lawyer with plenty of brains and ambition, but no money) held him back. He loved me— my heart told me that—but fortune hunters were fluttering around me like moths around a candle, and 1 suppose he was afraid if he spoke he would be classod with the rest, just as though the alchemy of a woman's love could tjo.t detect the gold among the dross.
Ah, well, he is gone, and there's no use mourning for the past I 1 cannot help sighing, though, to think that the veiy money which has attracted so many society moths should diivo away the only man 1 ever loved!
There, Dora, you have my secret and know why 1 shall evermoro a maiden be, but please don't tell Wishing you a lover true some time, dear Dora inot being burdened with wealth, you won't havo so many unworthy ones as I), and hciing to hear from you soon, 1 remain, with oceans of love, yours sincerely
EDITH BUHTON.
Late that afternoon Dora Stevens received the following brief message from Jack Vernon:
1
MY DEAR DOHA—Many thanks for your kind note and the inclosur5. There are at least two angels left on earth. You are one of them May heaven over guard and bless youl Yours gratefully, JACK.
P. 8.—I start for Rochester at once and will mail this on my way to the train. And as Dora read these words she smiled otio little, wee ghost of a smile and whispered: "Better my heart than hers!"—William Seldon Gidley in Chicago Record.
Ur. Junker's Escape.
Dr. Junker, the Russian explorer, who did uot see a white person for years while he was studying the natives and natural history of the upper Moban-gi-Makua river, made use of an ingenious expedient to get to the coast on his way home in 1886. He could not descend the Nile, for the Mahdistsblocked the way He could not follow the beaten road by way of Victoria Nyanza, for the Waganda and other tribes had been killing whites and if they did not murder Junker they would at least detain him as a prisoner. Arab traders would not take him in their caravans for fear they would lose the friendship of the native chiefs along the road. At last the doctor went to one of the traders with this proposal:
You cannot take me with you as a friend," he said, "but you can take me as a slave. Look at thia" And Dr. Junker showed the trader an order written in Arabic and signed by a well known firm in Zanzibar, authorizing the doctor to make any arrangements he desired with the Arabs of central Africa, and the firm *ould honor his drafts. "Now," continued Dr Junker, "I have written out a contract, and if you will sign it with me 1 shall reach the coast. It provides that when you deliver me alive at Zanzibar the sum of $1,600 (Austrian thalers) will be paid to you by this firm. You cannot take me with you as a traveler or a friend, and you must therefore take me as a slavet"
The bargain was made on this basis. In passing through the hostile tribes the white man was represented to be a slave Who bad been purchased from a negro tribe farther north. As a slave he passed muster even at the court of cruel filing Hwanga and was allowed to pass oo in peace with his supposed master,—Harper's Round Table.

Two Wildcats.
A Wells-Fargo messenger on the Santa Fe train had an unusual experience. Among the articles in his care was a cage containing two wildcats, consigned from Fall Brook, in this state, to Martin's Ferry, O. The messenger from whom he received them said they had been behaving very well, but no sooner was he started on his run than they got into a terrible fight. The frail b&rs of the cage bent so under their battering that he drew a couple of revolvers and watched them, ready to fight for his life in case they got loose. When the growls, snarls and spitting finally had ceased, the messenger took a lantern and looked into the cage. Where there had been two big wildcats, weighing respectively 50 and 40 pounds in spite of their gauntness, there was now one sleek 90 pound wildcat and a few hairs aud bones of the other. The surviving beast was sent rejoicing on its way, billed as "two wildcats."—San Francisco Argonaut 'f
Bearded Belles of Ancient Rome.
Among the Roman women at one period there was a morbid ambition to grow beards, and they- nsed to shave their faces and smear them with unguents to produce these inappropriate appendages. Cicero tr' \s us that at one time to such an extent did the mania for beards grow upon women that it was found desirable to pass a law against the "adornment.:-r-San Francisco, Chronicle.

enough to attain the knowledge of hu man nature which assists so materially in success, he made unremitting and universal suspicion a substitute. He had managed to accumulate a fair share of property, but not enough to compensate for disliking so many people and being disliked by them. He had been discussing some matters of business with a commercial acquaintance and had need of certain documents. He rang a bell, and a frightened looking office boy appeared. "Tell Spriggs to come here," said Mr. Files, and the hoy hurried as if he feared his employer would change hi? mind and cut off escape. Mr. Spriggf appeared, a young man with a vacant eye and a double chin. H& gazed listlessly at the ceiling while Mr. Files instructed him to get a key from one man, a tin, box from another and some stationery from a third. Spriggs had difficulty in catching the names of the men, and at last had to have them written on apiece of paper. As the young man departed Mr. Files made a gesture in his direction and said: "There goes my most trusted em-, ployee." "Has he been with you long?" inquired the visitor. "No. He came day before yesterday.'' "He hasn't learned much about th6 business yet, has he?'' "Not a thing. That's the reason he's a trusted employee.''

For nine
weeks I was in bed suffer IM ing with inflammation and congestion of the ovaries. I had a discharge all the time. When lying down all the time, Iv" felt quite comfortable but as soon as I would put my feet on the floor, the pains would come back.
Every one thought it was impossible for me to get well. I was paying $1 per day for doctor's visits and 75 cents a day for medicine. I made up my mind to try Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has effected a complete cure for me, and I have all the faith in the world in it. What a blessing to woman it is!"—MRS. JENNIE L. SMITH, No. 324 Eauffman St., Philadelphia, Pa.
