SPEAR HEAD is absolutely, positively and distinctively different in flavor from any other plug tobacco. A trial will convince the most skeptical of this fact. It Is the largest seller or any similar shape and style on earth, which proves that it has caught the popular taste and pleases the people. Try it, and participate in the contest for prizes. See that a TIN TAG Is on every 10 cent piece of SPEAR HEAD you buy. Send In the tags, no matter how small the Quantity. Very sincerely, quantity. THE P. J. SORG COMPANY, Middletown, Ohio. A list of the people obtaining these prizes in this county will be published in this paper immediately after February 1st, 1894. DON'T SEND MY TAGS BEFORE JANUARY I. 1894. !N THE HEART OF THE ROSE. Where lies the scent of the rose? In the heart of it. "Tis a secret the butterfly knows. And a part of it She whispered to me one June— I shall not forget It soon. There, where the i>etals meet. In the heart of it. Lies a chalice deep and sweet. 'Tis the part of it Where the rose distills the dew It gathers the warm night through. I shall make of the rose a ikiend. In the heart of It A message I’ll send. I’ll send. Or a part of it. For the heart of the rose is small And cannot contain it all. She will pin the rose on her breast. And the heart of it Will whisper my love—has she guessed Already a part of it? Sweet rose, lie lightly above The pure heart of my love. —Meredith Rhys in Kate Field’s Washington. AFTER THE SUPPER. Dating from a certain moment—the second bottle, I believe—I no more re member what happened to me. A cur tain, like a i»isty cloud, descended upon my memory, similar to the between acts baize of fairy spectacles. Nevertheless nothing is surer than something did happen to me; many things even. Everything proves it to me. My coat on the floor, my cravat as a nightcap and, above all else, if ever I doubted it, my haggard face, fatigued and pale. Truly a fine business! At my age, eight and thirty years, to allow myself to be surprised by champagne like a schoolboy on a holiday! Stupidity’s no name for it! But what plagues me most is to guess what I did last. night, particulars, you know, as to the events of the evening. Question my servant? Perish the thought of it! Expose my self to the blushing before a lackey! Be sides he would only be able to formu late theories from the hour of my re turn and—and my behavior on reaching my bedroom. I divine it, that behavior, ’tis enough. They pretend that with a single bone Cuvier was able to entirely reconstruct an antediluvian animal. It remains to me then only to find some analogous thing to as readily reconstruct my ex istence for the last 12 or 15 hours—a suggestion, a hint, one or two indica tions, more or less. Where find them? Ali-h, my pockets! A childish habit of burying everything there clings to me still and will now perhaps serve me well. Behold the mo ment of rummaging, then, like the cul prit that I am. I tremble guiltily. What am I going to discover? Gingerly I slip two fingers into the side pocket of my vest and draw out my portmonnaie. Empty? By Jove! m seexing to pica up my overcoat iny notebook falls, scattering upon the car pet a heap of papers. The first of these papers that catches my eye is the slip of the Cafe Anglais. The trump card of the night’s misde meanor. Thanks to this bill I learn immediate ly that the’ misdemeanor occurred in: “Salon 14.” I could have sworn it. ’Tis always, some way, “salon 14” to which 1 gravitate. The total? Eight hundred and twenty francs. Peste! I’ve no; been stingy, it appears. How many were they, I wonder? Y7ho were they? My habitual friends, i„ im probable, but still—no? Am inspiration! This menu, in be traying their tastes, will also to mo re veal their names. Let us try to de cipher it. Huitres Portugaises—These are the kind that Lucien prefers and that they import from Arrachon expressly for him. Lucien was of the suppers, then, it is clear. So much for No. 1. Potage a la puree de gibier—I greatly deceive myself, or that potage is one to which Maxime is specially partial. Max ime, then, for No. 2. Filets de sole a la Joinville—Fernand, to a certainty; an Orleanist filet, pure and simple. Canetons de Rouen a l’orange—No one but Polastron for that, an out and out Rouennais, he. Salades de legumes a la Russe—’Tis useless to ask if Semenow was there. Bombe a la Cardinal—From whom could this have come? Stay, Marcel! Who but Marcel is cousin to a cardinal? Lucien, Maxime, Fernand, Polastron, Semenow, Marcel—Behold my table re composed. Women also were at that supper then? Beyond a doubt. These scattered pho tographs attest it. Female suppers out or supperesses, if I may call them so, have always a rage for distributing their portraits. Henrietta of the Varieties in her costume of the Revue, her great English coal hoppers squeezed into tight French slippers. Quick, conceal thyself! And Jeanne, the eternal, in powdered hair and leering over her shoulder at the risk of a wry neck. The third—ah, the third, I do not know her. ’Tis strange! Not a bad lot, either, the third. She’s even pretty. Small head, low brow, tiny nose, a mite of a mouth. Nothing but eyes—superb eyes at that! Lashes like a fringe, and a genuine blond. Deuce take it! No, I do not know her. The little yellow curls that dance about her brow look even in this photograph like a golden smoke. Nearly a child, too—18 years perhaps, at farthest. Dressed modestly besides. A high neck robe, puritanical in cut, but which only the better develops that which it envelopes. Exquisite figure, slim and lithe as a bending willow. Decidedly she is a very pretty little girl. And—and I see in her ears neither pearls nor diamonds, nor even on her fingers a single jewel. The reason pos sibly for her air of disdain. Disdain, did I say? This child, who as yet knows nothing of life, yet seems al ready bored and wearied! Bah! women or girls, they are all alike. Still, where did she come from? Who is it that I have had, unknown, to sit at my table? Maybe it was her debut—the opening of a great success that I already foresee and predict. She sat beside me, of course. I talked with her, ’tis certain—all the madnesses probably that came to my head. She refused me. or left me. Behold the rea son why, perhaps—that I made myself drunk. But let us resume. There were then in salon 14 sis men and three women. My personnel’s complete. What hap pened then? I have the actors, but not yet the drama. Let us continue the voyage in my pocket. TIIE CARTES DE VTSITE. The devil! Two cards, as I’m a sinner! The first bearing the name and ad dress: j R. DE FAYET-MORET, j C Sous-Lieutenant—Infantry. : The second: : JULES BUHOT. : : Captain 120th of tho Line. : What is it that all this tells me? I’ve never known in all my senses as many militaires as this. There is under it of course a quarrel, a row, an alterca tion. These two cards, cold and glacial, have assuredly been exchanged for two of my own! Behold the drama demanded: A duel— two duels perhaps. But two duels with whom? Duels apropos of what? Whom have I offend ed? For it is I, it is I, surely, that am the offender—I, who know so well that I am truly unbearable when—when a little high up. In this case what am I, provoked or provocator? Now I think of it, it seems to me that my left cheek pains me a little and is bigger than the other—the scar of battle unquestionably. Pooh! An illusion! What other non sense will I get into my head? Stay! what is this written in the corner of tho lieu tenant's card, the Lieutenant R. do Fa3ret Moret? “Ten o’clock at St. Maunde.” At St. Maunde! Zounds! an armed encounter; tho hour of the rendezvous. Nothing could be clearer! Quick, run! There is still time per haps! No, tho hour has passed. ’Tis 11:30 now! I am dishonored! N o one will believe me when I say that I slept too late and got up with a split ting headache. I have no longer the strength to inter rogate my pockets. Still, let us see. Fine and hemstitched; an airy, cob webby batiste. But it is not one of mine. It bears in one of its corners, too, a baron’s tortil. What next? A handkerchief in my pocket that belongs to another! Behold me on the road to the galleys! Ah, my head, m3’ head! And these flowers in my buttonhole— this wilted boutonniere. Tiny m3'osotis blossoms that have closed their blue e3’es. The thread that holds them is half untied. A bouquet too modest and simple for me to have bought from a regular flower vender, to have stolen like the handkerchief or to have had be stowed upon me by demoiselles of the uieatTicai clique. It was given to me, I know it. Just how it was given to me too. A continu ation of the story of that unknown little blond. She gave me these myosotis blos soms, knowing that I was going to fight —that I was going to fight for her—in all probability. Yes, that is it—it could be nothing else! My apprehensions redoubled. Awhile ago 1 wished to know, now I fear to learn too much. I hesitate to plunge too deep into the depths of my overcoat. Suppose, like the comedian Arnal, in the fair of the Rue de Lourvine, I draw out my hand full of soot or of blood! What? This overcoat—this overcoat is not mine! No, mine was chestnut color, and this is the color of a Corinth raisin. I have not, then, voyaged in my pock ets. I have voyaged in the pockets of another. But then, if this overcoat is not mine, no more is the duel mine! Nor mine the bill of the Cafe Anglais! Nor mine the photographs! Nor mine the cards of the militaires! Nor mine the wilted myosotis blos soms! Nor mine the theft of the baron’s hand kerchief! And the romance and friendship of the little blond? Not mine, either! Bah! wliat matters it? The address can still be found by means of the pho tograph.- -From the French. People Who Live Lone. Sir George Humphrey has investigated the life histories of centenarians in Eng land with the view of ascertaining the causes and circumstances of longevity. As one reads the habits and life of these men and women who attained to the age of 100 years and more, one is struck by the fact that they were almost invaria bly lean people of spare habits and of great moderation in eating and drink ing. Of 37, 3 took no animal food, 4 took very little, 20 a little, 10 a moderate amount and only one acknowl edged taking much meat. With regard to alcohol the returns are much the same, and abstemiousness is found to be the rule of life of these centenarians.— London Hospital. Prize Winners For Humane Stories.
