IT CAME OFF, BUT DAVENPORT, THE CARTOONIST, WASN'T THERE, Atter Seventeen Very Vold Iternsals Re cepturea tlie Belle of Stiverton as a Partner, but on the Eve of a Triumph * Tragedy Occurred. Silverton, Om, during the summer 1890, I was out with a thrashing crew, -and mar maelfine had just finished thrash- ing for a man about three miles from town. As we dicl Ilot thrash again until letozday, ell harads came iuto town to get a shave and a Wean thin, When we struck the heart a the city of Silverton consisting a about 450 inhabit. 4ente, lauding the town cews, it was in a wild stage of excitemeut. A dance was eto be held that night at VrattkEgan'et hop. base, Some tive miles away. My first thought was th go and engage a partner et once. On second. thought, however, If concluded 1 Inight make a more respectas hie appearance ft 1 had a shave and earne of. the chaff conthed out of my hair. After waiting in line for three hours I got the desired ehave, Now, 1 bad no regular girl, but 1 of etotarse bad A favorite, so I went on a run ato her house. On meeting her at the door sew that her hair was done up in lead, and I was sure she expected me. When I asked he; the expressed regret aucl eald that I was so uncertain about asiciug her to go to dances that she bad Accepted the company of Harvey Allen. I throw tho blowoff lightly and proceed- ed down the street, asking every girl knew who was of danceable age, And, •strange as it num score, I received 17 flat throw downs. 1 caesoled myself, however, by the thought that I would have been ac- cepted had I not been too late, The sad part of it was that somehow the news got ahead of me that I was coming, and all along the latter part of my painful journey ,the girls anet me at the yard gate with the Zatal werds "Too late.' I abandoned the job as bopeless, and, making a bee line for home, proceeded to do the chores till ev- ery hackload bad gone for the deuce. In every town there is one girl more beentiful than the rest, sometimes so muola more beautiful thee the others that she is ?ea a class by herself. That was the case with Nettie, the Silverton belle. Yet none of us town boys ever asked her to go to any of the dances or various entertain- ments for the simple reason that since lome of the ordinary girls frequently gave us the mitten we bad concluded thet she, -who was beautiful and frequently went -with Portland fellows with plug bats, would surely ignore us, Now, after receiving these 17 refusals I .maturally was about ready to quit for the • evening, but after the last hack bad gone rI ventured out and went to the postoffice 'formy 1 ether's mail. • Who should I meet at the postoffice but Miss Nettie, the belle of the town, and she really looked a dream. She and 1 both blushed, then she asked -why I hadn't gone to the dance. "What dance'?" said I. "Oh, haven't you heard about It?" "No," said I. "It'e out at Egan's bophouse." Meantime I had emptied the mail box . et its contents, which was a solitary paper, The Silverton Appeal, which is printed ev- ery Saturday evening and put in the snail while the ink is still wet. Miss Nettle lived up my way, so we both blushed again and walked up, the sidewalk together. Presently she said, "I don't know velm any ef the boys never ask me to go to dances, 'and I am simply dying to go." Well, I could feel any pulse jump from normal to 150 in a minute'and simultane- ously we asked each other to go to the :lance. Also simultaneously we both ao- cepted. It was quite dark by this time, and she proposed we go to our barn and WW1 up my father's old buggy that stood in the wagon shed, and hurry as fast as possible to the dance. The horse ran in the calf pasture back of the barn, and after a few false moves I grabbed him by the foretop and hurried t quietly to the barn where the belle of the viliage waswaiting on the old buggy seat. .1 hacked the horse into the wagon shed ..and hitched .up the buggy just as it stood. If Byron or Shakespeare were still writ ang, they never eoulrldo justice to the feel- ing that existed in my heart. After re - :retying 17 cold, chilly refusals from 17 plain, ordinary looking girls, then to have dire pleasure within an hour's time of walking into the hophouse, while the elance was in full blast, with the belle of Marion county --well, it was tot:ant:oh I Don, the horse, was hitched, and I quiet - took my seat beside the young lady and drove through the barnyard into the road with less noise than the ceickets were ;leaking in the garden. ' ' It was late, but my only thought was to get to the dance before any one had gone home, so that the "ad." I would receive Irorn my being ha company with the belle of the village would be as large as possible. We were delving at a trot and falling a mild sort of a loVe story, when suddenly elle horse, with a suer; gath .a terrific jump and started to run. 1 held him, ,and after jerking on the lines for Some.me- lents quieted him. It was something un- usual for him to clo, and any ol the small .childeen in town cotild drive hina anywhere withont a line. After we had driven a quarter of a mile farther he repeated this performance. I 4.trithic• theught 1 beard a Puttering sound Iike the cape of a prong woman in the wheel, but examination revealed Melling. 1 tette at I lose to aCCOUrlt for the pet:tiller actions of the animal, so I got out and casually drop- ped my hand around the °temper to see if some of the boys had put a tack In it, bus ever7thing was ..11 right. We proceeded, but the love story had been badly broken into and our conversation was to the effect that we hoped the MOM WOUld soon go down and the horse would quit his foaling, We had traveled about half the distance. when we ran over a rook in the road, and imenediately game WS clnU, fluttering sound, The horse again roso in the air, nearly overturning the buggy. I knew by this time that there was something serious the matter. I got out again, determined to make a thorough examinatien, While I was out 1 beard something breathing hard under the buggy, and on looking found that live of my star chiciteas, which bad been in the habit et roostiag on the bind axle, had gone to roost there in the even. bag. Whenever we bit a rook, it would jolt a hen off her pereh, and she would catch by her hill as she fell and flutter to her feet again, thus frightening the horse. I really hated to reveal the truth. as the truth °Mimes hurts, 41ts it did in this case. The poor girl was shivering in bar seat, frightened half out of her wits, But when I told her it WAS ebb:kens roosting the was diegusted beyond measure. She knew as ?veil as other persons who have ever lived in Silvertou that chickens bath blighted my life from the beginning to the present day. She suggested that we set them on the fence along the road until we came ham in the morning. But that wouldn't do, because the dawn broke at 8:30, and, 'nether thing, coons would eat them dur- ing the night, We became more and more divided in our opinions. As my chickens were as rare as village belles, and I loved them bath, the case was painful. We finally compromised by going back home. We met no ono on the way -no one passed us, There I was, really out alone with the oharrn and pride of Silverton. No one over knew it save she and I and the horse and five chickens, I staid up the balance of the night and told the boys when they came borne in the morning, but they wouldn't believe it. I told sonm of the girls who had given me the mitten the evening before, and they went to Miss Nettie, but oven she denied tbe story. And so 1 here record the solemn truth that I would have paralyzed the whole dance at Egan's henhouse but for those five measly chiekens.-Homer Davenport Ip New York journal. He Couldn't Get Thera.

How Miss Tanner Started the. First Travel- ing Art Gallery and Haw the Work Has Been Carried on In Wisconsin -Woman's Clubs Wake It ljp. A movement to cultivate the artistic tastes of country people by means of send- ing circulating art galleries through the farming distalott has been begun in Wis- consin. It was in this state, too, that the idea of traveling libraries originated. The scheme for traveling pietures is an elabo- ration of the same idea. To Miss Mary E. Tanner, a teacher of art in the Stevens Point Normal school, Is due the credit for starting the new movement, She had heard F. Hutch. has, chairman of the state library commas. Oen, tell at the longing for good reading matter which existed in the farming dis- tricts and how this was being met by the traveling libreele,s. She was deeply inter- ested and thought much of the talk. Lathe 41)0 met Mr. Hutchins and said: "If we car, supply country people with traveling books, why nob give them trav- eling pictures too?" "You eau," was the reply. "It would be a fine Oleg. Go ahead end try It." So with no further eneolaragereent MIR* Untie; alone aud unaided, wont to work to launch this most novel movement. She began bon:airingart attempt to supply the farmers living fflit a few tulles from the city. At that 'time she had never heard of Jane Addams and her ideas of Art ter tbe common people and she knew nothing of the methods which are now in operation at Hull House, Chicago. She planned her work elOng purely original linos and ea. signed it solely to meet the nee& ef the ieeople where she could reacria Raving no extensive means or Influence, she had to begin in a humble way. First she talked over the plan with some of he friends, and they euthusiastically volun- teered to help her. They went to work with A will, gathering up piotures of all kinds and sizes wherever tlaey could find them. The lithographs which were being sent out as supplements to the big Chi- cago papers helpet1 out wonderfully, photo- graphs of famous paintings were eagerly BABY E. TANNER. seized upon and everything that spelled art with a capital A was made use of. Even pictures from magazines and illus- trated papers were utilized. When they had got together a big collection, they sorted out the best, mounted them uni- formly on cardboard, labeled them, pasted envelopes for cards on the beak, peeked them into a top buggy find started out to rouse a sense of the truly artistic in the country distriots. At first tbey went to the schoolhouses where .they Interested the teaohers in the movement and enlisted their aid. The plan usually followed was to call a meet- ing at the schoolhouse, exhibit the pictures and give a little talk concerning them. These art talks proved wonderfully popu- lar, and the young women were kept busy furnishing speakers. After the talk the pietures were distributed, eaoh family taking one picture and agreeing to return It after a certain length of time and ex- change it for another. And that was all there was to it. In June the pictures were called in and stored until the following fall. After the first season the Women's club of Stevens Point took up the work and bas since taken charge of it. Of course the collection has been materially added to, and the collecting and distributing are In the hands of a competent committee. More than this, the State Federation of Women's Clubs has decided to start a trav- eling gallery for the use of art clubs and In various parts of the state different or- ganizations are taking up separate phases of the work. State Senator Stout is to add pictures to his traveling libraries in Dann county, too, which is a flattering indorsement of Miss Tanner's work. The state federation has appointed an art interchange committee for the purpose of collecting reproductions of masterpieces for circulation among small clubs of wom- en wbo are renZte from art centers. Club- women in other states are becoming inter- ested in the movement and it has been suggested that a national art interchange fox. the federation would be a feasible proj- ect. Miss Tanner, to whose energy and en- terprise the success of the movement is due, has come to be looked upon as an authority on such matters and is frequent- ly asked for advice in regard to the start- ing of such enterprises. She believes that if the selection of pictures is made judi- °thusly much can be acconaplished toward creating an testhetio impulse in country districts. "Of course it depends a greatgleal upon the class of people among whom your work lies," she says. "If they are not well educated, I doubt the advisability of giving them pictures of buildings or his- toric places. What they want is a picture which tolls a story, such as Millet's 'An- gelus' and others dealing with genre types. "Pictures o landsoapes and flowers alwaye prove4popu1ar. Accompanying each picture should go a slip, telling the name of the artist, something about his life, and, if poesible, a little story about that partloular work, That is where the educational side a the scheme comes in, Surely it will loacl to good things. Even the desire to keow more about the man who painted the Maar() may lead on to the reading of books which would other- wise never be opened. Some day. I want to see pictures circulated in every public library, just as books are now." 1,111,reurn MERRIAM. • NEWS IN A N UTSH ELL. 10...,do...;e4 Summary of Seere Iteceived'hy Telegraph -A)1 1 t er ting Hudget 10r0111.

London, Ont., March 21.-A sensation- al incident occurred at the jail here Sat- urday. About ten minutes before 1 o'clock Turnkey Stickles took John Glassford, a prisoner, to the yard' for exercise. They had been there only half an hour when Stickles, happening to look around at the river, Glassford took advantage of the momentary ;opportunity and "shinned up" the water pipe with the agility of a cat When Stickles again saw him, Glass - ford was at the top of the wall. The turnkey shouted to him to stop, but he paid no attention. Stickles Bred over Glassford's head, but still the prisoner heeded him not. Shot Him in.the Back. Stickles then saw that extreme meas- ures were needed, and, shot Glassford in the back, the ball entering the shoulder, just below the shoulder blade. The pris- oner fell over on the roof of the building as though dead, and was removed by way of the skylight into the Court House, and thence to the cell, where he was laid on the floor. Tile wound proved to be of a serious nature, and there are but slight hopes of Glassford's recovery. The "victim is a desperate man awaiting removal to the Kingston Penitentiary, to which place he was sentenced for seven years, at the last Assizes, for criminal assault on Maud Blaine, near Wardsville, on Oct. 4 last.

From the third chapter at the beginning of the Bible to the third elutpter from the end of it there is the ream ord of a great enemy of God end, man, OA* old serpent, the devil, who like a lion welketh about reeking whom lie ma devour.

Iv, 10, "The people whiell eat derkness sew greet light." As ga dwelt ati Capernaum they saw the light of His lite, and wherever Ills people dwell the light of His life af love and compassion„ at meekness and lowliness, should be made manifests Re called Peter and Andrew and, James and John that Ile might znako them fishers of men by having theta tole low Him, One of His last words to Peter, was, "Follow thou Me" (John xxi, 22).

IIe became poor for tem ankes. itelbeetee V. -Row to Pray (31eth. vie 5- 15). (-leaden Text, Math. vi, 6, "Pray to thy Father. which is in secret." All life is lived eitilaer before God or mon, either to please Gad or man, unto God or untoTelf. HOW very few live the former, how very many the latter. Even Christians are tempted to do good, pray, fast, etc., witt refereuce to the opinion of their fellows rather than as in the sight of God. Our Lord Jesus had but one aim -to glorify the Father, Lessort VL -Our Father's Care (Math. vi, 54-94). Golden Text, I Pet. v, 7, "He wroth for you." Three times in this les- son we are told to "take no thought," or "be not anxious , " and the reason given for this precept is, "For your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of thous things." Children of an earthly father would only grieve their father by anxiety about their food and raiment. It is his affair to see to those things. It is theirs to be good and obedient children, a credit and a comfort to him. LESSON VII. -The Call of Matthew (Math. ix, 9-17), Golden Text, Math. ix, 9, "Follow Me." In chapters viii and ix we see Him preaching, teaching, healing, going about doing good. Matthew had been a receiver for those who kept for themselves and oared not how mueh they oppressed the poor, but now he is th re- ceive in order to give to the poor. He is to be a channel of blessing between the Great Fountain and the perishing all about him. He begins by making a feast lor our Lord, and that in the presence of His enemies. Are we ready and glad to honor our Lord, before His enemies? Do we not care what men think or say of us if only we can glorify Him? If so, it is well. LESSON TILL -The Twelve Sent Forth (Math. x, 2-15). Golden Text, Math. x, 'Freely ye bave received, freely give." Let us not forget the three great prayers which we should ever pray -that Hewoultt send forth laborers; that He would make Jerusalem a praise in the earth, and that He would come quickly (Math: ix, 38; lea. lxii, 6, 7; Rev. xxii, 20). LessoN IX. -Warning and Invitation (Math. xi, 20-30). Golden Text, Math. xi, 28, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." It is well to remember that privilege in- creases responsibility, to whom mueh la given of him shall much be required. If Ile hs led us to know Him, it is that oth- ers nay through us know Him too. If He has caused us to be specially taught in His word, it is that through us He may teach others also. Lessces X. -Jesus and the Sabbath (Math. xii, 1-13). Golden Text, Math. xil, 8, "The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." Not days, however holy, nor ordinances nor institutions, how- ever anoient and honorable, must be exalt- ed abdve Him. These Pharisees would. honor the Sabbath above the Lord of the Sabbath because they knew Him not. If we honor anything above Him, it is be- cause we know Him not. Our motto must he, "The Lord alone shall be exalt- Id"Ls(sissoaet. 1, 11, 7) 1CliT1he. Wheat and the Tares (Math alit, 24-30, 36-43). Golden Text, Math. xiii, 87, "He that soweth the good seed is the Son of Man." He sows nothing but good. seed, the incorruptible seed of the word, 'which, when received into our 'mares, makes us the good, seed of this par- able, to be planted in the soil of constant death to self that the seed may multiply, fax' except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone, but if it die it bringeth forth :nuch fruit (John xii, 84). The Son of Man is not discouraged beeatise only a part of the seed bears fruit , ( and tares grow anaoyag the wheat. Ile knave that it would be so, but He shall yet see of the travail of 'His soul, and shall be satisfied. The earth shall be filled with. His glory, but not till after the harvest or end of this age. LSssolf XIL-John the Baptist Behead- ed(Math.-ativ'1-12). Golden Text, Prov. iv, 28, "keepthy heart with all diligence, fax' out of itare the lesues of life!' The application of this golden text to the lesson is'a little difficult, for John's heart was all right, but there was no use telling Hared or Herodias to keep their hearts, for they meld not do it
