She Never Was a Boy.
(New York Press.)
! yvhen I eame home the other night.
With an ugly looking eye:
| That 1 had got into a fight.
Poor ma commenced to cry:
But when 1 told pa how it was
He clapped his hands for Joyr
And told me I done bully ’cause
Once he had been a boy.
• Hoys will be boy*.” 1 heard him say,
"They won’t be otherwise;
And the one who learns to fight this
way
Is ihe one that wins the prize.
When I was his age fightin was
My greatest earthly jo7— ’’
But ma kept on cry in’, ’cause
She never was a boy.
JO. j
My golly! but I’d hate to be ?■
A girl with fluffy hair, ‘ 11
And always prim as A, B, C.
With clothes too clean to wear.
When ma was small I ’spose she was
Red-cheeked and sweet and coy
But, oil, the fun (ha: missed her ’cause
She never was a boy.
A Truthful Fellow.
Ned—What lie did you tell that
homel- old maid with the big fortune
to cake her look so radiantly happy 7
Ted—l didn’t tell her a lie. I told
her she had a pretty flgfure.

'whirl in the vdupiuc.ua mare now
borne languidly In the aims of a strong
man now careering rapidly amid a
throng of spirited rtan ers. Is. the
Princess ha* often declared, one of
those pleasures .hat never that
do not grow old end sadly nsuffleient.
Her passion for the pleasure has •
i-onneetion with a very dramatie
room epl«ode which Is now public bed
for the first time.
This ball was select and exclusive
precisely because It was desired that
the participants should Ire only of th ,
an vest and most sociable Older. |
When the dance was at It* height
and when the band, hidden away In an
upper gallerc. was playing a gavotte
and the entire company were partied
paling In the animated whir!, audden- i
ly a tall and graceful lady in the ten
tre of the ballroom was noticed to
Pause, to guxe fixedly at the fleror. and
dun fall in a swoop. Ihe heat and
excitement wete accused of h “ vt b*
caused a momentary faintness, and the
dance went on as before.
Pew noticed that, a tall officer had,
stooped down In the centre of the floor
and had made some passes with a
handkerchief, as !f wiping »«* *
mark. Many hearts were healing hap- |
niiy In that ballroom, many eyes fraak
y acknowledged the soft Impeachment j
and the quick warm blood that courmd
in those young veins induced them to
#ver
Fleeter Steps and Closer Embraces.
But in one of the angles of the room
again a woman gazed fixedly at Ihe
floor and seemed ready to swoon. Few,
however, remarked her attitude and
the gayety continued. Then at last
It was noted that throughout the hall
there was cause for the amazement
and temporary weakness in these wo
men. What one lady had observed
in the centre and another in one of
the angles was now becoming a con
aplcuous in all parts of the. room.
It was somethiug which grates on
the nerves and shocks the sensibilities
of men and women; it was blood. A
trail of blood suddenly appearing in
a ballroom and pervading all Its waits
is a sight to provoke not so mum
alarm and consternation as was now
observed that numbers of the women
had blood on their ball dresses.

The art- of which l*rof I arker
was s member was ihe Ural to accom
plish the feat, and to stand on the top
of the mount. The ttnit expedition to
try the mountain was four years ago.
when one of the party wav injured In
the trip one-fourth of tne way up the
mountain by the railing of a rva k. In
the following year three members of
the Appalachian Club. Prof. Kay. of
Tuft* college; Mr. Thompson, of Ikiw
doln college and Mr. Abbott, started
to make the ascent of the ruthless
peak It la a very weird and uninvit
ing looking mountain top. Indeed, and
it towers above the northwestern coun
try In a gllatenlng white pile like mar
ble. sum tier and winter. This was In
1R95, and ihe three explorers took the
Ha.ne route that the unaucceasful party
had taken the year before and got up
further. It was whul Is known as the
western route, and It is very steep and
dangerous. After making their way
far up above the clouds they came to
an impassible place and had to give
U up. ...
In 1896 the same three men, with
another from Maine, who is also a
member of the club, tried It again.
They vv#nt around l>y the south side,
took a new route and climbed to with
in 1300 fec?t of the top peak. There
they ran against a precipice over which
there seemed to be no path. Below
them was the dizzy depths of the vu.-
lews beneath, above them the rocky
crag never visited by man. and even
bidding dcnance to the very eagles
themselves. Only 300 feel to accom
plish and they could place their feet
where no living thing had ever been.
Mr Abbott, the leader, climbed ahead
to find the way. taking all the rope
v lth him. He struggled ahead slowly,
and in a few yards was out of sight.
While the other three men waited for
him thev suddenly heard a breaking
of rock above, a cry and the
Body of Their Hapless Companion,
Mr. Abbott, ahot past them down the
sheer side of the mountain. He fell
30 feet, then rolled 800 feet and was
killed. The unhappy men were left
■without a rope to make their way
down the side, and each man was in
momentary danger of following the

"I’m in a crevasse." he said.
Prof. Parker thrust his 'tick toward
him und the man seized it and
wrenched It out of his hand, at
same time disappearing beneath the
snow In the crack.
Of comae they thought it was tlr
last of him. They shouted to him ami

little for 20 feet, and beyond that no
one could tell how far It went down
into the frozen mountain. At last, ar-1

voice cotning up In a far-away sort of
way fru-n the Icy caverns below. The
man said he was not hurt but was
wedged Into tbe Ice so that he could
not move. The crack grew narrower
und narrower as it went down, and he

his hotly would let him. Death In a
crack In the frozen northern Alps was
an awful fate. And yet it looked as if
