SPINNING WHEEL. JIM'S SWEETHEART. Mother put oil her Sunday best, Her lilac wedding gown, Ami white-straw bonnet neatly tied With strings of faded brown We .woke before the roosters crowed And started In the dew To see the boat race, for our Jim W ras captain of the crew. He took it in his curly head To want a college course: I parted with the pasture lot And sold the sorrel horse. We sent him every dollar saved, And made a seedy pair In garments that had long outlived Their days of useful wear. The surging throng closed up in front, We could not see our son. But soon a mighty cheer went up And told us Jim had won. The crowd took up the college yell And sent it to the skies. And college colors everywhere Shook out their brilliant dyes. He stepped ashore, looked up and saw His mother's wrinkled face. And hurried to her through the ranks Of broadcloth, silk and lace. He never gave a single glance Toward the pretty girls. Ert kissed her on the withered lips, And kissed her silver curls. His sunburnt face was glorified With proud and happy smiles: He did not mind because her hat Was years behind the styles. But led her out before his friends, A figure quaint and prim In stiff, old-fashioned lilac silk— "My sweetheart, boys," said Jim. —Minna Irving in Leslie's Weekly. The ministers of Aurora, 111., are hav ing a quiet laugh at one of their num ber. In all a minister's work the two extremes are wh°n he is called on to offi ciate at funerals ajid at weddings. When the funeral comes his mission is one of mitigation of sorrow and of inspiration lor grieving ones. At the other extreme is the wedding, when his participation in the features of one of the happiest times in the lives of others is a pleas ure, to which is added a comfortable feeling of curiosity as to the size of an expected fee. With one Aurora preacher a few days since extremes met. He was officiating at a funeral when a message came to him at the stricken home from his wife to hurry home "a couple were waiting there for him to marry them." He is a quick reasoner, and he figured out plenty of time be tween the solemn words closing the rites at the funeral and those to take place at the grave to hurry to his home, per form the ceremony and catch a street car for the cemetery. He went home, married the couple after the bride had delayed him in the effort to adjust her bangs for the important event, and Tushed for the street car. It wasn't there. He frantically rushed to a livery barn and every team was out. At that moment he would have foregone the fee he hud just earned for a horse. He per Bpiringly told his plight to a young man who was driving by in a buggy, and the young fellow took him flying to the cem etery just us the last possible hope of saving his portion of the solemn cere mony was fading into thin air. He never •will mix weddings and funerals again. And that is why the other preachers are having quiet fun at his expense. She stamped her feet in pretty rage. "Ha! ha!" sneered the heavy villain. "You 11 have to pay excess postage on them. You had us well stamp them some more.' True, her feet were not the kind that made Cinderella famous, but was it real ch.valry in him to say such things?— Baltimore American. A certain "Willie Fresh" put his foot in it the other day—or so everybody on the coach thought, until "Willie" turned the laugh on them. The drive was fast becoming a bore. Everyone was sitting anywhere but in the place they wished, and the route chosen was beastly. In one of the too frequent lulls in the con versation "Willie" burst forth with a conundrum, "What is it the ladies wear that their husbands never see?" The ef fect was stunning, literally. Then the first man to the rescue made a lame at tempt to change the subject, and an other remarked that the water in# facilities of the department of highways seemed lotallv inade quate. But "Willie" was not to be squelched. "No, go on—guess my riddle. \\hat is it ladies wear that their hus bands nevor soo?" "Willie/' ox claimed "the oldest woman on the drag, "you're simply incorrigible! I absolutely won't listen to any more of your so-called jests. I refnse to hear the answer to this." "Oh. I don't mean what you mean," babbled "Willie 'evil to him,' you know. And you needn't all get fed, either. I be ashamed if I had your minds. I would positively. Give up my Tiddle.' Well, it's widows' weeds." Then "Willie" had to hang on tight to the railings of his seat.—Town Topics. Stokes—"Whew! wasn't it hot last "night! I thought a ride in a summer car would give me relief, but I couldn't get a breath of air." Smokes—"Me. too but the only time a breeze sprang up was when I struck my last match and tried to light my cigar." —Philadelphia Press. The death of Prince von Hohenlohe Tecalls a story told at the expense of a New York matron lately "arrived" in society. When making the grand tour several years ago she found herself at a Swiss resort. There she met a German lady, cross-eyed and badly dressed, who made advances which were received cold ly by the American. "You can never tell about people whom you meet traveling." she remarked. Later in the season the New Yorker was doing a German picture gallery, when the cross-eyed lady entered, accompanied by another lady in deep mourning. She noticed the officials paid marked defer ence to the new arrivals. "Who are they?" she inquired of an attendant. "The Empress Frederick and suite." was the reply. "And the cross-eyed lady?" "The Princess von Hohenlohe. wife* of the imperial chancellor," answered the guide. Mrs. Housekeep—"That was a very small quart of peaches you sent me, anil besides they were very green."

At the reception which Richard Hard ing Davis gave to his townsfolk aud friends in Marion. Mass., last spring, there was among the guests that Nice Old Lrady who is sure to be present at all gatherings Where kindly and considerate country people are gathered together. Mrs. Davis had with her a number of friends assisting in receiving and waiting on the guests. It was in the serving of refreshments that one of these young ladies passed a dish of eclairs to the Nice Old I.«ady. "I've had one." said the N. O. L. de murring, but with her eyes fixed upon the dish longingly. "Well, take another," urged the young lady cordially. "I'd really like to," said the N. O. L.. "but I didn't know as you'd have enough to go around if I did."—-New York Times. "I suppose," said the doctor, as he carefully bound up the stump of Sam my's amputated arm, "that yon •will not shoot off toy cannons on the neit Fourth?" "Why not?" replied Sammy. "I have one arm left yet."—^Harlem Life. The arrival stepped up to the hotel counter, swung the register around and signed his name: "John Smith, Michi gan." "Ah, Mr. Smith," said'the clerk with that hospitable manner of the true hotel clerk, "what's the best word in Kalama zoo?" Mr. Smith turned pale as if he had been caught in the very act. "How did you know I was from Kala mazoo?" he inquired in surprise, for he had never been in that hotel before. "Oh," laughed the clerk, "I've been in the hotel business a long time and I never saw one of them put down the name cf his town yet. The only others I know of like that are from Oahkosh." Mr. Smitlh didn't know just -what to say in reply, so he said it, and went 011 upstairs to his room, thinking.—New York Sun. MAX-LIKE. Hard luck! I found a dollar bill In my last summer's suit.

Composition on Love.—From the New York Evening Sun: Love is a thing that makes people think each other pretty when nobody else does. It causes two persons *o be awful quiet when you're round, and also quiet when you're "not round—only in a different way. It also causes people to sit together on one end of a bench when there's a heap of room on ttu. ond. Nurses has it and sometimes policemen. That's when they don't know where yon are, and you have lots of fun playing ou the grass. Husbands and wives has it, but most gen erally only lovers.

I suppose. Only she'll have to let me say what to do. I've written all I know about it till I d.) grow up. EDDY. Bank President—"I suppose I had bet ter notify the directors that you have appropriated $100,000." Cashier—"Yes: and while you are about it, ask them where is a good place to invest it."—Harper's Bazar. Sir Harry Poland, a British magistrate noted for his brilliancy, is careless in his dress. Once his family persuaded him to go to Poole and order a fashion ably-cut suit. To the chagrin of the household, Sir Harry looked more out landish in the new clothes than In his old ones. His brother-in-law went to see Toole about it. "It is not my fault, sir," the tailor assured him. "Every care was taken, but how could we fit a gentle man who would insist upon being meas ured sitting down?" And the only satis faction that could be obtained from Sir Harry Poland himself later on was the dry comment: "Well, it's my business, and not yours. I like to be comfortable. I spend three parts of my life sitting down, and I prefer to be measured so/' THE GAY DECEIVERS.

John Drew, the actor, speaks French with an excellent accent, of which he is pardonably proud, and hence he was im mensely pleased when Mme. Bernhardt said to him recently: "You must really come to Paris and appear in a Parisian theater yes, in my theater and play with me." Mr. Drew was naturally flattered to have his French so greatly appreciated. He felt several inches taller as he an swered "Really, Mme. Bernhardt, this is most gratifying. What sort of a part would you like to have me play?" "Oh," snid Mme. Bernhardt, with her sweetest smile, "naturally, the part of an Englishman."
