WHEN THE SON HAD THE DEED. Slowly the toil-cramped, gnarled old fist Wrought at the s:!heet with a rasping pen; Halted with tre:.:ulous quirk and twist, Staggered, and then went on tagain. The wan sun peeped througth the wee patched pane And the::'-red the floor where pale beams shon ( In a quaint old kitchen down in Maine, With an old man writing there alone. And the pen wrought on and the head drooped low And a tear plashed down on the rusted pen, As it traced a verse of the long ago That his grief had brought to his heart again. "Be kind to thy father, for when thou wast young Who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue, And joined in thy innocent glee. Be kind to thy father, for now he is old, His locks intermingled with gray; His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold Thy father is passing away. "Be kind to thy mother, for, lo! on her brow May traces of sorrow be seen. Oh, well mayst- thou cherish and comfort her now, For loving and kind hath she been. Remember thy mother, for thee she will pray As long as God giveth her breath With accents of kindness; then cheer her hard way E'en through the dark valley of death." Listlessly thrashed In a careless court, The poor, plain tale of a home was told, Furnr.hing food for the lawyers' sport And a jest at the fond and thefoolish old. The counsel said, as he winked an eye: "Decurl-d the farm to their only son; And after 'twas deeded they didn't die' Qnite as quick as they should have done." Drearily dragged the homely case, Petty and mean in all its parts; Quest through the law for an old home place, But never a word of two broken hearts. Only a suit where the son and wife Pledged themselves, when they coaxed the deed, To comfort the close of the old folks' life: Only another case where greed Sneered at the toil of the hard, hard years I Of martyrdom to the hoe and ax, Writ in wrinkles and etched in tears And told in the curve of the old bent backs, Bent in the strife with the rocky soil, When the grinding work was never done, With just one rift in the cloud of toil 'Twas all for the sake of their only son. Simply a tedious legal maze With neighbors stirring the thing for sport, And loungers eying with listless gaze This queer old couple dragged to court. Meekly they would have granted greed All that it sought for-all its spoil; Little they valued a forfeit deed, Nor selfishly reckoned their years of toil, Heartsick they while the lawyers urged, Mute when the law vouchsafed their prayer Courts soothed not such grief as surged In the hearts of the old folks trembling there. What though the jury's word restored The walls and roof of the old home place? Would it give them back the blessed hoard Of trust that knew no son's disgrace? Would it give them back his boyhood smiles, His boyhood love, their simple joy? Would it heal the wounds of these after whiles, And make him again their own dear boy? Would it soothe the smart of the cruel words, Of sullen looks and cold neglect? And dull the taunts that pierced like swords And slashed where the wielders little r reeked? No; justice gives the walls and roof, To palsied hands a canceled deed, Rebuking with a stern reproof A son's un'filial, shameless greed. But love that made that old home warm, And hope that made all labor sweet, The glow of peace that shamed the storm And melted on the pane the sleet, .And faith and truth and loving hearts And tender trust in fellow-men 'Ah, these, my friend, no lawyer's arts Can give again, can give again. -Holman Day, in LewistOn Journal. Helen Dacy's Lunatic .UELEN 1)ACY went to Elgin-ntot because she was insane. but be cause she had a second cousin who 'was. Elgin is a beautiful town, but ;its street car service is not good, and HIIelen walked through the village up to the pleasant park with which the state has surrounded the asylum for 'ithe inuane. It is a walk of consider a able length from the gate of the. :grounds to the building, and Helen V,1as to encounter a melancholy sight. iAs she went along the serpentine path, a pro"ession came toward her. 'Thore must have been a hundred men in it and they moved slowly and most of them walked with bowed heads. Their feet appeared to press the earth heavily. At first Helen thought it must he a funeral procession, but a moment Inter she perceived that it was something more distressing. It was the walk of tllhose who had sur rived their own death. In other words, it was a. body of insane pa tients, exercising the bodies that held their perished minds. Helen shrank aside and stood fascinated while they passed her. Some of them looked at her curiously, or with lack-luster gaze, or wistfully. A sudden appre ciltion of her qwn youth and health *[anod sanity geme over her and made ,her all the mnore pitiful toward these 'unfortunates. ' The procession had passed and she was about resuming her way to the +hospital, when one of the men quitted the ranks and w~alked hurriedly ,to ward her. None of the rest looked around. The attendants had not no ticed his desertion, and his steps on the swnrd made no sound. He Came with a rapid, gliding step toward Hel en, showing his teeth in a broad smile. Helen decided that, however imperti anet his intentions might be. at least he was in good humor. This was con soling, lut it did not keep her 'hands fiom turning cold with nervous dread. '4As he approached he lifted 'his hat with i courtly air. It was evident .that the poor wretch had once been a gentleman, but even the most gen tlemanly of lunatics was not a com .panion to .hoose, and Helen moved behind a low lilac bush. She felt that ,she was white and that her eyes were wide-stretched, but she tried not to show her alarm. Confidence. she had always heard, was needed in dealing with the insane. The man moved more cautiously and fixed an unde viating gaze upon Helen. "Madam," said the. man in a pe culiarly quiet voice, "it is a pleasant morning." Something in the words suggested a scene in "Hamlet" to Helen, and she bethought herself of an experiment. She would soon determine whether or not the man had a gleam of reason. *'Es it?" she asked, t'utning her eyes -, ., . .';. to the sky. "Why, indeed, I thaugmh it was raining!" The rman ktd a look in his face akin to pity. "Perhaps you art right," he replied, gently. "it may b. raining. It is not always possible for me to tell except when I see people carrying their umbrellas." "Sensory nerves quite obtuse,' thought Helen. "I have heard that it is common with degenerates." The man moved a little nearer, and Helen ventured to go still further around the lilac bush. He stopped still, and they faced each other over the low shrub, bery. What an agreeable looking creature he was with his soft brown eyes. his long. delicate face, and his high brow, lIe looked as if he might have been intended for a poet. Proba bly he had been, but had gone one atep further. Helen had not read Lombroso for nothing. "Do you ever write poetry?" she asked, with genuine curiosity. The man blushed. Helen had not dreamed a lunatic would blush. "When I find a fitting subject," he confessed. "Ahl And what should you considel a fitting subject?" "\Vhy-you!" The words came oul explosively. They did not seem to bh meant for a compliment. The Inar spoke pathetically. It seemed as ii there were tears in his eyes. Helen an swered as if he were a child. "Do I seem so sad to you?" she asked "Does it make the tears come in youl eyes to look at me. poor man?" "Indeed it does," he replied, quit( simply. "I think you are the saddes. thing I ever saw." "I wouldn't die for anything," she ex plained. "I like to live. I find plentyo: things to laugh at." And to convinct his wandering wits that this was th, truth she broke into a. merry laugh which astonished the melancholy spiri' of the place. "If I give you my hand," said thl man, kindly, "will ,ou not walk bact with me to the house?" To take his hand, to let him get a holk upon her! It was ghastly. He mov°e toward her. There seemed nothing for it but to run, and run she did, speed ing over the soft lawn with a rapidit that astonished herself. She could tea' him calling to her, but she sped on, till finally, a hysterical impulse, born of he; fright and fatigue, took hold of her She began to laugh again, and th' musical, half-weeping laughter floater behind her as she fled. Then, breath less, she stumbled in a ground mole' tunnel and fellflat. She buried her face in the grass and waited, her heart pain ing with the stress of its work. A sec ond later two arms were about her ant she was lifted to her feet. She faced th: lunatic. They were of a height any they stood looking at each other, botl of them pale and trembling, his am still supporting her. "Poor child," he murmured, "bho sorry I am that I frightened you. Per haps I ought not to have run after you But I was afraid you would leave the grounds and come to some harm." She would have liked to explair to him that one need not comt to harm ouside of the grounds, bu perhaps it was as well that. he though otherwise. She would tell him th( truth about herself. Perhaps he woul understand. Ah, what a pity that suet an engaging face should hide a ruiner mind ! "You must try to understand," shi said, slowly. "that I do not live her, in the-in the hospital. I am here fci the first time. I have not yet been u] to the-the building, you know. came to visit a relative who is here it seems a pleasant place. Have yo' been here long?"

"I think I must rest a moment," saii she. "I--I am much surprised!" iHe tone indicated something more thai surprise. It confessed to, a great reliel She paid her visit to the asylum and sh and Victor Law, her lunatic, went bac: on the same train together.

How a Circus Ticket Seller Bunked During a Season's Traveling. About the Country. "I slept in a wagon all summer," said Dolph Gessley, the well-known ticket seller of the Robinson circus, which had just finished its seventy-fifth annual season of travel. "Yes, sir, in a wagon. The rest of the show people slept in regular sleeping cars. Now you would think they had the best of it, wouldn't you? But they didn't. My bed w:as made up in the wagon in which I sold tickets. Along the sides of it are benches. I had a cot bed from which the legs were removed. The benches had lids, and inside were boxe. where the tickets and other stuff nects sary were kept. In one compartme'.t I had the bedding, in another towels and other toilet essentials. After the count up at night I pulled down the cot top, got out my sheets and' blankets and made up my bed. Then I turned in after fohling up my clothes. The ticket wagon is a finely constructed affair, with platform springs, and rides like a fashionable carriage. The "razor backs," or common laborers with the show, would, when the time came to entrain, run the wagon onto a fiat car and chock the wheels securely. The car has super-springs, and rides like a passenger coach. The cot top was laid across the aisles, of which the benches formed the sides, so there were three places to take up the mo tion--the car springs, the wagon springs and the elastic cot webbing. I was as snug as a bug in a rug. By leaving a window in the rear open I got a fine breeze, and in the hottest nights was cool and comfortable. Many a morning I awoke up to find the wagon on the circus lot, miles from the depot. I slept so soundly that I never felt the wagon being detrained or driven uptown. Then my wagon man would bring up water, and my toilet was a matter of a moment or two. Bathing? Why a man with a circus can bathe every day in the dressing tent. The folks in the sleeping car had many discomforts. Anybody that has traveled in a crowded Pullman car appreciates this fact. All want to go to bed at the same time and get up to gether. The aisles are crowded with clothing and impedimenta, and thes there is the snoring and talking that is inevitable. Oh, 1 tell you, I was com fortable. Some of the razor-backs had a novel way of b'unking for the night. They slept in hammocks, which were slung under wagons from axle to axle. 1 never tried it, but those who did tell me that it is exceedingly comfortable. Lots of fresh air, you know. Curiously enough, they didn't get wet and the cinders don't fly under the wagons. On dusty nights they get a little of loose Mother Earth, but not so much as you would think. Nothing could induce me to trade my Gessley palace sleeping car, as I call my wagon bed, for one of Pull man's make. 1 have privacy, room and comfort, and no sleeping car can boast of this triple advantage."-Cincinnati Enquirer. AN AMERICAN GIRL. One Who Defied Regulation of Queen Victoria's Court, But Gained Adutmision. A delightful little story has only lately come to light of how a pretty and audacious San Francisco girl de flied the regulations of Queen Vic toria's court. Along in the seventies bonnie Nellie Chapman, daughter of William S. Chapman, the well-known mine owner, found herself on the eve of her presentation to England's queen. Now there are certain rules of high etiquette laid down for these oc casions. Among the rest royalty pre scribes the exact length of a train and the degree of exposure required of the arms and bust. But Nellie Chapman had ideas of her own on the latter subject, and when it came to the shaping of the gown she «was to wear for the grand event the Amer ican girl had the height of her corsage arranged to suit her own ideas of what was desirous and appropriate. It was an extremely dainty gown of white satin, perfectly fitted to the slight and graceful figure, with chaste trimmings of tulle and garlands of white marguerites, diamonds and pearls giving it a touch of elegance, and above it all the fair republican face carried with truly regal spirit. But, alas! on the threshold of the draw-ing-room she was stopped by an imperious chamberlain, who loftily informed her that she could not go in, a;; her gown was not low enough in the neck. For one moment the spirit ed American girl was dismayed, then, with a scornful look at the courtier, she lifted her little gloved hand, and, giving both shoulders of the corsage an impetuous twitch, bared her dim pled shoulders, and with the defiant: "Now it will do," vwalked past the astmnished gentleman-in-waiting. She afterward had her picture taken in the court dress which so nearly broughther to social grief.--San Fran. eisco Chronicle. Cossaeks as Horse Traders. A few months ago a Russian veter inary surgeon was sent into the Ural district by the government to buy horses for the army. He had been se lected by his superiors because he was famous as a shrewd and sharp horse trader, who never had been beaten in a horse trade. But he returned from hit experience with the Ural Cossacks in a chastened condition of mind, for they had cheated him frightfully. He con fessed that with all his cunning he had been perfectly helpless in their hands, and he swore by all the saints in the Russian calendar that nothing should tempt him to try again. His grief was made the more poignant by the fact that at the time they were swindling him so cheerfully and successfully a Russian bunko steerer struck their ter ritory, filled them with a firm convic tion that the world was coming to an end in short order and sold them tick ets for paradise at enormous prices!
