Like a tiny glint of light piercing through the dusty gloom Comes her little laughing face through the shadows of my room, And my pen forgets its way as it hears her patt’ring tread, While her praitling treble vones cnase the thought trom out my head. She is queen and I her slave, one who loves her and obeys, For she rules her world of home with pecuniols baby ways. In she dances, calls me “dear!” turns the pages of my books ; Throws herself upon my knee, takes my pe. with laughing lsoks. Makes disorder reign supreme, turns my papers upside down, Draws me cabalistic signs, safe from fear of any trown. Crumble all my yerses up, pleased to hear the crackling sound. Makes them into balls and then—flings them ail upon the ground. Suddenly she flirts away, leaving me alot® again, With a warmth about my heart, and a brighter, clearer brain. And although the thoughts return that her coming drove away, The remembrance of her laugh lingers with me through tho day.

They had ‘ done” Florida—that the Peninsular State as people generally managed to see 1? yoars ugo—and the party, com- posed of General Grant, General Sheridan, their wives, two nieces of Mrs. Grant, the secretary, Mr. By ron Andrews anda solitary artist, had just voyaged down the. gulf coast, stopping for an evening’s “send oft’’—anda very lively time it was—at Koy West, and now they were domiciled in Havana, Grant's perpetual cigar was.a pillar of cloud early in the morning and a twinkle of fire late at night. The Cuban col ony of cigar makers at Key West had stowed their staterooms full of their choicest goods, while the famous manufacturers of Havana had all brought out special brands, sending sample hundreds to the palace for the approval of the two famous sol- diees It would have been a breach ot etiquette to keepacheck upon one’s smoking under such tempting conditions. So the American visit- ors puffed away at countless incom. parable cigars while the gayly clad officers of the palace household roll- ed their cigarettes and wondered how long the famous smoker could keep itup. | Presently there came a day when the programme included a visit to the lofty fortress of Cabanas, over the bay. The heavy state barges rowe@ the brilliant little party across the breezeless harbor, and,oh, it was hot! They climbed the zig- zag path which leads up to the por- tal cut into the grim front of the great military prison, which was even then nearly filled with prison. ers of state. They were shown through courts, deep, dark passage- ways, parades, barracks and prisons, which fill the whole vast interior of this. great, gloomy, terrible place. General Pocurul, then commandant of Cabanas, paraded the troops with a fine fanfare from a bugle squad, and then lunch was served at head- |quarters, high up on the battle- _ ments, commanding a grand view of | the city and village dotted country, which in those days presented a ‘prosperous and beautiful appear- ance, Gencral Grant saw everything and smoked on faithfully. He noted that of the hundreds of «cannon planted everywhere, from the water batteries beneath the palms far be- low, up along the precipitous slopeg to the crest of the walls of Cabanas, nearly all were of antique model and inferior caliber, practically useless in a modern demonstration, but over upon Morro’s walls, half a mile away, as they were told, there were rows of big new guns, especially just to the right or eastward of the castle. And so, having shown an in- terest in the matter, the party must go over to Morro, traversing cover: ed ways. and long open spaces in the noonday heat. All might have gone well, however, but unhappily Grant ran out of cigars. He searched de- spairingly through his sundry pock- ets, but, alas, all in vain. Then came Sheridan’s opportunity, the chance he had been waiting for after a long and varied experience of Grant’s marked fondness for telling army yarns at his expense. He had a cigar. {ft was not particularly large or obtrusive, just a regular Ai Havana, but, oh, it was black and rich and wicked looking! Sheridan had been shown through a tobacco factory the previous day. While he waited this cigar was made for him, and he put it away carefully and smiled a contented little smile. So General Grant, with a deep, happy sigh ‘of _relief, touched a match to General Sheridan’s cigar, and Sheridan—he lagged and gy- rated like a bad little boy who has put a tack on his teacher’s chair. It took a little time for the strongest cigar ever made in Cuba to get in its deadly work upon a well seasoned old smoker like Grant, and Sheridan began to grow despondent, but joy once more suffused his rugged yet rubicund features as he saw his old commander with a pallid face talk- ing hurriedly with the interpreter, a funny mixture of English and West Point Spanish, and a moment later he collapsed in the shade of a wall. There was instant alarm among all who gathered around, and even the jolly Sheridan yot a bit rattled at his own success, but he only winked solemnly at the secre- tary and said: “Tell ’em to keep quiet and give him air. He’ll be all right in five minutes. I thought it would fetch him.” Grant was indeed all right as soon as he got up among the jumble of defenses at the top of Morro castle, where the cool sea winds blew some of that nicotine out of his lungs, and he gazed at Sheridan with a deep in- digo look of suspicion, but he smok- ed no more until the next morning. } ad had ¥ —New York Sun.

She was still without a husband, He was waiting for a wife. And her cheeks were rich and rosy, And her lips were luscious red, So he pressed her dimpled fingers As he looked at her and said, As they stood there in the heather Where the road had crossed the rill, “May we not fare together Up this long, hard hill?” Now her hand began to tremble And her eyes were full of tears As sh® trained them on the road that Wound away among the years, But she had no voice to answer Him; she could not understand, Forthe future lay before her Like a faroff fairyland. Thero was sunlight on the heather, There was music in the rill, As they went away together Up the long, hard hill. Oftentimes the way was sunny, Other times 'twas full of lures, But the love that had come to them Was the true love that endures. Though the bonny brow is wrinkled, Though the raven lock be gray, Yet the road might have been rougher Had she gone the other way. Now the frost is on the heather And the snow is on.the rill, And they’re coasting down the short side Of the long, hard hill. ~Cy Warman in New York Sun. Mrs. Rorer's Way of Stewing Oysters.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable, The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accom- panied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and Juvgs and difficult breathing; headach: fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeting. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would slowa slimy, inflamed con- Jition. The cure fer this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treat- ment which caures the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has a time to ferment ‘and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one neczssary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Distsste, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, ° Golden Seal an fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores uacer the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia ‘Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after ameales Mr, N.
