To Ihie whose love still hjU'S u? hear

But fit whjse words we might not know
That we were playmates long ago:
Com';, sit betide the fire with mt!
And Vet us faricy it to be
The selfsacue fire tha! filled our ryes
With childish wonder and surprise
And watch it till we seem to hear
The same old sandman drawing near.
Forget this evening-for we can -
The sober woman, serious man.
Revive, in ail their simple joy.
The laughing girl and careless boy.
That we may feel what others know-

THOSE STRIPED STOCKINGS.
A I.ewiston Man Tells a t.....d St, ry of the
Indian Territory.
The returned Lewistoniau f. U to talk-
ing orer a revolver that ho rarriod in
the arrest of a desperado in New Mexin
wid then he diverged and tuldthi* story:
"Ouce when we were going down m
the Indian Terirtory as we rode out of
the village wo passed the hout,r v. here
a New Brunswick girl had just come to
live in the little prairie village. There
had been considerable jokiug about the
new arriTftl, and as we passed she came
crot to hang tip her washing on tho line.
I rode a little red pony—one that I had
swapped a shotgun for—and when 1 saw
the New Brunswick girl hang up a pair
of the longest, biggest strip. (I st^-kuitf*
I had ever seen I rode right up into the
yard and under the c!uth«--lini' and
seized those stockings and pulled Vm
off the line and rode away.
"All that trip down a<To«- the hot
plains and over the rustling buffalo
grass the boys plagued toe about those
stockings. I had put them Into my trunk
and kept them. I don't know what I
took them for or why I kept them.
"Well we got down into the territory
and among the Indians. They are great
gamblers, yon know, and we bet with
them everything we haiL

"I did not let them satisfy their cu-

with the big Indian. It was plain by
the faces of the greasers that they had
lost all faith in their man ns against the
striped stockings. The Indian ran a lit-
tle distance and then fell behind, with
his eyes filed in terror on those flying
stockings. Ho was beaten. And do you
know I sold those stockings to the In-
dian for five ponies and a rifle?"—Lew-

"There is quite a 'WLjPhip and

"When I Camo hero from Boston ili;>
1854, I drifted about a hit and finally
went into the service of Charles Mc-
Laughlin, tho man who was afterward
killed by Jerome Cox. He was tho
owner of the longest stage line in Cali-
fornia at that time. It ran with relays
from San Jose to Los Angeles.
"I remember once in a lonely coast
range canyon, through which the road
wound, we had a little experience that
was thrilling for the moment. It was
•bout 10 o'clock and a moonlight night.
I was just putting the horses through.
The stage was full of passengers, and
there was a heavy treasure twx.
"Just as I got around a peml in tho
road I saw a figure of a man on horse-1
back standing by the side of the road.?
He yelled to stop, and I saw a gun bar-
rel gleam in the moonlight. The horses
were going at a speed that might be
called breakneck, and I just made up
my mind to take the chance of getting
through. I saw the gun raised to the
fellow's shou der as we approached. I
had my long whip in ray hand, and
with a desperation born of peril of the
moment I made a vicious swipe at him.
"I don't know how it occurred, but
the lash wound itself i otmd the gun,
and as we dashed by the whip was
drawn taut, and 1 knew it had caught,
so held fast. I was xaarly pulled out of
my seat, but f\n f was dragged from
the robber's hr •. fell to the ground.
At the same time it was discharged by
the shock. It rattled along the rpad for
quite a distance before the Whiplash un-
wound itself. I don't Know what the
highwayman thought, but I'll bet he
was surprised "—San Francisco Call.
rtetare*qoeB«t<>n Advertising?
Last week a group of maidens elf *
the Tery latest bathing costumes
surrounded by all the
of the sea beach disport
inffton street window, w"
paaaersby gated ou their .
heartily wished they could stfp I
their shoes and stockings. One yourfg
woman, wrapped in a bath robe, was
extended on the shore, another held a
big parasol over her head, while other
bold minxes calmly amused themselves
paddling in the water, preparatory to
Uldnga "header," or sat themselves
down in readiness for the advancing
wares! It was a pictorial advertisement
that went to the right spot, and the
spectators took note of the fetching
•tylee and then went their way, deter-
mined to go aod do likewise at the near-
est fashionable resort —Boston Herald.
