Two FiHhcrs ; Oao morning when spring was in her teens A uiorn to a poet's wishing , All tinted in delicate pinks and greens , Miss Hcssio and I went fishing.

I with my rod and reel and hooks , And a hamper for lunching recesses ; She with the bait of her comely looks And the shine of her golden tresses. Bo wo sat down on the sunny dlko. Where the white pond lilies teeter , And I went fishing like quaint old Ike , And she like Simon Peter. All tlio noon I lay in the light of her eyes , And dreamlngly watched and waited , I3ut the fish wore cunning and would not rise , And the baiter alone was baited. And when the time for departure came , The bag was Hat as a flounder ; But Hcsslo had nontly hooked her game A huiulrcd-und-cighty pounder. A Womnn'H Fl ht With a Ham. Mrs. Plimpton Marcy , of Sturbridijo , Mass. , while attempting to drive a Hock of sheep from her house , wus attacked and kiyokcd down by a largo ram. She was somewhat stunned , but fought for her life , and at the same time screamed for holp. No nsbthtunco coming , she at last succeeded In grasping the buck by the wool of his neck , pinned his head down by the weight of her own body and the strength remaining in her right arm and hand , and with the left pounded his head with a stone until she supposed bo was iiibonsiblo , Then she lot go her grasp , but ho sprang to his feet again and the struggle began nnow.

Just then she baw her son's team going by , and , on being called , ho came to the rescue- and took her homo. At last accounts it was feared that her injuries might prove fatal.

London Telegraph : A young mnr- riod woman 1ms just mot with an ex traordinary adventure. As she was leaving the horse shoo nt the Palais do 1'lndustrio she was accosted by a person ol gentlemanly appearance , who , after npologi/.ing for his in trusion , told her that ho had been asked by her cousin , who was his intimate friend , to give her some letters. It seems that about two years ago the lady was in love with this cousin. Her parents objected to the match and mar ried her to somebody else. She had not sot eyes on her cousin since ho had gene off to the Congo with M. Bra//.a. Interested in his career , the lady told the stranger that she was driving to the Hois do Boulogne , and suggested that ho .should follow her in a cab. The couple mot in a wood and proceeded down a sidewalk , the stranger talking most , affectionately of his friend , and explaining that he had no dlfllculty in recognizing her. At hiht the lady asked for the letters. The man rummaged in his pocket , but insU-iid of the letters ho drew out u handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth. The Indv struggled violently in the arms of nor assailant , who at tempted to throw her down , but , suc ceeding in removing the handkerchief , she cried loudly for help. Sounds of footsteps approaching put the stranger to ( light , and the police are now en gaged in an active investigation of this extraordinary affair. " Courtesy Most Hiiro. Two ladles made their way toward the centre of the crowded car to a vacant seat , says the Now York Tolo- grnm. The lady who reached it first was about to tt'.ko it , when , noticing the lady following her , and who was evi dently disappointed , she instantly re linquished U , and , turning to her , said , with most exquisite courtesy , as though , indeed , she wore offering u scut to a guest in her own drawing-room : ' 'Won't you tnko this Boat ? " and with out giving time for a refusal turned away. The ether lady dropped thankfully into the offered place in iv ihuc of mingled gratitude and nniusomant. But it was a Brooklyn woman who finally overthrow the opinions of n life time. The woman-hater was comfort ably stowed away In a corner of a crowned Greene avenue car. Seated near him was a little woman in costly but not faultlessly tasteful attire ; ono hand loaded with licnvily-joweled rings was loft ungloved purposely , of course so the man in the comer musingly com mented.

The latter in a few moments rooo and quietly ollered lier seat to the other. " "Going to get out , " thought the cynical reporter ; but no. for many blocks the little woman stood , holding onto the strap for which she had volun tarily exchanged a good scat , so long that the recipient of her kindness be gad to feel uncomfortable , and softly de murred against retaining the place. The patient sweetness of the smile with which the little lady met the " other's protest transfigured "her some what worn face and made it beautiful with the gentle grace of a loving spirit. Are \VOIIKMI Curious. Philadelphia Call : So you think women are curious , do you ? Well , sup pose they are ; what's that to you ? It's a free country. But don't you lot this fact got blue-moulded in the forgot corner of your alleged brain. They haven't a monopoly of the curious bus- { iressbyawido majority. What does a man do when he rounds up to u fence with this legend : in the foreground ? What docs ho do ? Docs lie take the word of the legend and go his way believing in the legend's truth , or does the demon of doubt get a hip-lock on his faith and yank the curious in his nature to the surface , yea , even to his finger tips , so that ho must feel for himself whether ills paint or only n painted imitation of painty We'll hot a four-dollar horse , and .we're not a betting man , either , that the next time you fall up against the above legend , William , you'll answer this question to your entire satisfaction. A Woman's Cede of Honor. Now Orleans Times-Democrat : A woman may say what she likes of anyone ono olso. but nho mutt be true to her ono chosen friend. If she tolls her secrets of the heart , of make-up , of family trouble , of anything that should ho kept behind boated lips she is pro nounced a traitor and avoided , as ono , Judgment is ns silent as in the bocrot tribunals of Venice , hut as biiro. If a girl have n "chance" and another deliberately and of malice pretense take him away , the treachery follows her like an ugly shadow all her lifelong long , and it is the unwritten law that the story should be told as often as pos- bihlo. If a woman know the address of a good dressmaker or a good place for bar gains , and won't toll it , she is mean. .Shopping is ono of the great teats , mid the woman who gimps up u bargain from under her friends no o is called dishonorable. This is considered a very strong adjective. To duplicate your friend's purchase is had taste. To copy your friend's individuality In style , dress , furniture , jewels , manner or speech , is most shocking bad form. Bad form among fine women , by the way , using the word in its metaphysical sense , is quito as objectionable- bad form among men. To talk of servants is quito admissi ble , but to brag of horbcs is only al lowed among men. The woman who docs not stand up for her husband , though ho be the epitome of all the vices ana vulgarities , is con sidered to bear watching. The lu-arcr of a compliment must , re tail It to the compllmonteo r she is en vious. Women must loll each othop they do look well wliun they do , and must not tell each other whun they look badly. Women must not rub each other the wrong way. Fine Satines 1 cnso extra fine Satinesc worth 16c ynrd ; on tale Monday nt Ole yard.

Boston Courier : "Yes , " said the young man , as he threw himself at the feet of the pretty school teacher , "I love you and would go to the world's end for you. " "You could not go to the cud of the world for mo , James. The world , or the earth as it is called , is round like a ball , slightly flattened at the poles. One of the first lessons in elementary geography is devoted to the .shape of the globe. You must have studied it when you wore a boy. " "Of course , I did , but " "And it is no longer theory.

The Now York Times Bays : A lady of about twenty-two summers , tall , ele gant , and handsome , and chut in a rai ment which betokened an absence of the cankering cares of poverty , was yesterday afternoon sauntering along the lower end of Fifth avenue. She was enjoying the balmy air of gentle spring and the society of an ugly , im pudent , aristocratic skyo-terricr , which trotted along at fier bide attached to a silk string. The companionship of her canine friend was all-sulllcient to oc cupy her thoughts , hence sbo took no notice of the fact that she was pursued by a grimy little boatblnek , who creep ing up stealthily behind , deftly clipped the cord which confined the terrier and , making a grab for the dog , ( started on n run for safe quarters. So unused to such plebeian treatment was his dog- 6hip that his kidnapper was some dis tance away before ho deigned to yelp a little yelp. But thib was sufficient. The picture of astonishment which the young lady made when she discovered she was leading only a fatring was quickly turned into one of hold determination to recapture her pet at all hazards. Gathering horbolf together she sped along after retreating hey and dog , who wore now in Washington park , like a fleet-footed goddess , and boon began to close the distance between her and the object of her chase. The hey twibtcd and turned , but long before ho had readied the middle of the park ho de cided It best to drop his prize and try to save himself. This ho did in no gen tle manner another surprise to doggie and was soon lost to bight. The pantIng - Ing mistress gave up the pursuit as soon as she recovered her much-abused pet , and after daintily dusting the contam inating dirt of the gamin from his fleecy wool luvibhod Jtiss after'hus upon BEADED WRAPS 20 Ladies' Beaded Wraps , on Monday at $8.00 each worth $15.00.

Miss Mollie Green is the heroine of a story which comes from Perry county , Tennessee , where hho teaches in n coun try school. One day , a correspondent relates , the children were busy with their lessons , when a shaggy dog , foam ing at the mouth , snapping and biting , dashed in nt the door and made toward one of the little ones. The bravo woman thought only of the children in her euro , and , springing between them on the in truder , tohi thorn it was a mad dog. She then kicked at it , her skirts protecting her , and , by the aid of a heavy ruler , kept it at bay until all the children hud fled. The infuriated animal repeatedly sprang at her throat , but she was too agile to ho caught , and resolutely held her ground. When all the little ones wore gene she desperately fought olT the dog until she reached the door , which ehe pulled to after her , and fell fainting outbido. The children had in the mean time run to the nearest house , ail- eighth of n mile distant , and given the alarm. Two men came up.and after re viving the teacher , killed the dog. The animal had been terrorizing the neigh borhood for two days. The grateful parents of the children took up a sub scription and gave the young lady a line saddle home.
