ther, when I look upon the valoished,
voiceless past, where all my hopts lie
dead,
as one from hie own kindred banished
or eome dark crime to a far country fled.
Tere is no crime—yet a great shadow hoVere,
Like mists that keep the mariner from shore,
Biding the isles of peace which hope diecovere
In early life from me for evermore.
So life's unanchored bath goes drifting vainly,
Where rude winds veer and billion waves roll

Warming to life the worm that will not die.

A Sensitive Subject.
' A street car incident w sic). as come o

--idniuneontoirraeneed Of apparent age. • An
old lady on entering a crowded train caught
the strap and by chance took her stand
direotly in front of a lady passenger appar-
ently as old as herself..
The possessor of the • seat was up in a
moment.
" Have myeeat, madam," she exolaimed
with audible courtesy. "Ton are older
than I am."
" Older than you l" retorted the -other;
" I beg a thousand pardons for contradict-
ing my elder, but indeed, madmn, you are
mistaken. Keep your seat."
" Bat 1 p.m euro you are older than I:"
" And I am equally euro that I am not.

"Not while an older woman stands."
The situation was growing interesting ;
but, though all smiled, no one seemed
moved to relieve matter ii by offering a

Dahomey's Amazons.
The history of the Amazonian warriors
cif Dahomey ought to give a strong im-
petus to the women's rights movement in
Otipelling the objeotione that women are
airanting in the courage, nerve and other
high qualities neoeseary for successful com-
petition with men in the battle of life. In
the State of Wyoming women not merely
exercise the suffrage, but complete with
men forimportant civil ()fume. To force
their way into the profession of arms and
to contest with the menfor the 'highest
military honors would be the final step in
the assertion of their rights and privileges.
In the evolntienary progress of the women
of Dahomey it may be mentioned as an
interesting detail that they have re-
vereed with, men the onstoni • of 'riding
on horseback. While the Amazons
ride astride, the men sit in side -
paddle fashion, the saddles being merely
gayly colored cloth The men are lifted
on and off by attendants, who lead the
horses and steady the riders in their preca-
rious position.. Even his Royal Majesty of
Dahomey outs a sorry figure hugging a tall
groom around the neck, while another puts
his Arm around the kingly waist. To, this
custom is doubtlese due the great 'Mart
which the women of Dahomey have gained
over the men. The hint should not he
loot on our wOman'a rights advocates. If
they could persuade the men to reverse
with thein the custom of horseback riding,
the ultimate and complete triumph, or the
woman's rights movement would not be
hing delayed. -Philadelphia Record.

But Tom didn't come, and I was greatly
disappointed. I wanted to point to that
turkey with pride and day that my wife
cooked' it. Then. if Tom noticed anything
funny about the turkey he wouldn't
blame me.
We had tb eat it all alone. We only

" What's the matter,' Maud 2 I asked.
" The turkey won't bite you ; he's dead."
" Go away, Howdy," said she, in evoke
interrupted by obe. "You will never love
me any more, Iahave deceived you; oh.,
cruelly, deceived you; I cannot, cannot
cook. Leave me to my remorse."
My dearest love," said I, endeavoring
not to laugh, " you never told me you
oould cook. If I thought ao the reeponei-
biiity is wholly mine. The mistake arose
from my natural inability to • imagine
any shing which you could not do if you
tried."
Maude dug her head into the pillow, and
persisted in saying"that he was a wicked,
deceitful wpman. I perceived that a -change
of tactics was neoebeitry.
" My dear," said 1, "arise, and see me
cook. It will do you good." •
She allowed an eye to be visible, and
there was an incredulone look in it.
"Can yon bake a turkey ?" she asked.
"People don't bake tairkeye," said I ;
"they roast 'em. I don't pretend to be a
specialist on the subject, bat I can cook in
a general sort of a way, and it's my opinion
that between us we oan get up a dinner
snob as Tom never saw before."
We went out into the kitchen and started
e fire. It was getting late and time was
precious, so I eprinkled the fuel liberally
with kerosene od, opened all the draughts,
and let her hum. Then we approached
the turkey.

dissipated look which I don't like."

flame rose half way up to the ceiling.
"You'll burn him all up if you put him
in there," cried Mande, and she hastily
replaced the cover. - - -
"We never oan serve him np With those
whiakers on him," said I, looking ruefully
at the turkey. " I guess we'll have to come
back to your original suggestion and shave
him."
While Mande prepared some bread
crumbs for "Muffling" I got out my rakor
and tried to scrape the turkey into shape.
But he didn't take kindly to a dry shave. I
had to lather him. I felt so much like a
barber while I wee engaged in this process,
and the poor turkey looked so human and
wretched, that I got to talking to him I

out ; but at laet my sister-in-law, hearing
that Mande was without a servant, came
around to see us. She agreed to cook the
dinner, and when I took my place at the
table, behold,there were the bones of Julius
in a soup. Mand took one look at him and
left the table.
" Jennie," said I, to tny sieter-in-law,
" is all the turkey in the soup ? "
"Why, yes, Howard, I believe so,", she
