my photograph album.
Ye front each other, face to face.
Dear friends of long ago;
Your air serene but commonplace.
Your costume comme il faut.
Since ev'ry smirk and ev’ry smile
Came first beneath my ken,
, Tls more than just a little while:
We all were younger then.
Tom, Dick and Harry meet my gax*—
How much I liked the three!
As thick w*»re we in early days
As four could ever be.
Eut why expect the glow of youth
From silvery headed men?
Tis true, although ’tis bitter truth.
We all were younger then.
Ah, Mary Ann and Emma Jane,
My flames of other days!
Alternately, although in vain.
For you I wove my lays.
By fate my hopes were overset
(It boots not how or when),
Your married names 1 quite forget,
We all were younger then.
Some errant stars are gathered herd
Who nightly lit the stage;
But very few to mem’ry dear.
Though lost to sight and age.
Do many look so lovely now ?
Nay, hardly one in ten.
My errant stars, you must allow
Wo ail were younger then.
But let me not morosely brood,
Old “Chronos” o'er thy flight,
And waste, in sourly cynic mood.
My hours by day or night.
Dear friends, I merely pause to say—
Before I drop my pen
And put your photographs away—
“We all were younger then.”

Gloom in New York.
“Do you know what most forcibly im-
presses a foreigner visiting New York
f..r the first time?” asked a titled mem
ber of the British iron workers.
“The dirt?”
“No,” said the ironmaster. “The dirt
is bad enough in all truth; but some-
tiling more important than this strikes
any foreigner of average power of reflec
tion. It is the extraordinary cloud of
gloom and preoccupation which hangs
over the citizens of New York. It has
an almost saddening effect upon a
stranger. I do not wish you to think
that l am speaking recklessly or flippant
ly. I am.not. The thing has impressed
me forcibly ever since 1 have been here,
awl 1 do not recall any other city in the
world where it is so noticeable.
“In Chicago business men look wor
ried and excited; in Boston there is a
large enough leisure element and suffi
cient jollity to amuse any crowd, and so
it is in all of the other cities of the coun
try. But New York men have the gloom
of Egyptian mummies. You may enter
and leave a thousand elevated cars with
out peeing a smiling face, and men talk
with one another with the serious and
preoccupied look of criminals discussing
tlieir fate in the cells of a jail. Visitors
to New York always speak of it as a
very jolly place, but the citizens of the
town apparently miss all the fun.”—New
York World.
Tale of Two Wedding; Kings.
A sea captain from one of our Maine
maritime towns was with his ship in
Antwerp, where he was joined by his
fiancee, where the twain were made one.
A ring being a desired feature in the
wedding ceremonial, the blissful com
mander sauntered forth to purchase it.
which having selected he left to be
marked. In due course he again sallied
out in pursuit of the “sacred symbol,”
but having gone where he supposed it
was it wasn’t there. In other words, he
had forgotten where the purchase was
made, and ring No. 2 was selected to
adorn the bridal finger. “All is fair in
love and war,” and with the original in
scription erased the circlet has perhaps
adorned another fair digit. Otherwise
it may be still awaiting its claimant.—
Lewiston Journal.
The Dog Didn't Care to Walk.
This story is told of one of the intelli
gent dogs of Auburn, Me. Mr. W. H.
C. Allen lives at the north end of Goff
street in that city, while his store is on
Lisbon street, Lewiston. The dog very
often accompanies him to and from the
store, fie was at the store Friday after-
iinun, when, becoming tired of staying
tin re, the order was given to go home.
Tlie dog started out, going up Lisbon
street to Main, and down Main across
the two bridges into Auburn. At the
postoftice, however, he was seen to
stand on the corner as though waiting
for something A few minutes later a
horse car came along, and the dog ran
out and boarded it and rode home,
jumping off when the car came opposite
his master's house.—Augusta Journal

Man is said to be the only creature
that shaves. The South American bird
called the “mot-mot," the Motmotus
Brazillensis, actually begins shaving on
arriving at maturity. Naturally adorned
with long blue tail feathers, it is not
satisfied with them in their natural state,
but with its beak nips off the web on
each side for a space of about two inches,
leaving a neat little oval tuft at the end
of each.—Indianapolis Journal.
Centuries before the Christian era
fountains of gaseous flame spouting
from the earth near the Caspian sea
were objects of pilgrimage and adora

near Grenoble, in France, is a fiery
fountain still burning that is said to
have been burning in the days of Julius
Caesar.
A new use is reported to have been
discovered for English hops—namely,
for the curing of bacon. It is found
that a sprinkling of hops in the brine
when bacon and hams are put in pickie
ad-A, greatly to tiie flavor of both, and
enables them to be kept an indefinite
period, —
One of the wealthiest real estate men
in Texas is Milton Sterrett, of Houston,

war he was a waiter on a river boat.
Barbers were formerly also surgeons,
that is. so far as blood letting was con

emblematical of the bandages used in
binding up the arm after blood letting.

ENQUrRER-SPN-
The Popular Cosmos Flower.
The cosmos flower, which has come to
be all the rage here this fall, has an in
teresting history, which Mr. Small, the
florist, related. It is indigenous to Mex
ico, where it grows wild in the fields like
the daisy in this climate. Some four
years ago a German florist in Hoboken,
N. J., propagated some of the plants
from imported 6eeds and introduced the
i flowers in New York. Then the plant
appeared in the Soldiers’ home gardens
at Hampton, near Fortress Monroe,
where it was found that it would bloom
as late as January and February, on ac
count of the milder climate. A gentle
man near Alexandria, Va., then secured
a quantity of the seed and began to grow
the plant for the market, meeting with
such success that he has-now several
acres covered with the cosmos blooms,
and he ships immense quantities to New j
York daily.
Mr. Small says that the plant cannot
be grown with great success farther
north than this city, as it succumbs to
the first frost. This is the first year that
j it has become common, but just now
j great branches of it adorn the windows
of each florist’s establishment, and can
be bought cheaply in the market or Ox
the boys on the street. The flower
makes a pretty interior decoration, or it
will keep fresh for four or five days if
placed in a vase of water immediately
after it is cut. The white blossoms are
the handsomest, resembling a narcissus
in their white petals and gold hearts,
j but there are other tints that are highly
| prized. The cosmos is apt to be as pop-
j ular ere long as the chrysanthemum, al-
I though florists will always prefer the
I latter.—Washington Post.
The Cane Huh Gone.
The really high caste London swell
has “cursed his stick and cast it out.”
• Swagger Englishmen no longer appear
J in public with canes of any description.
I The collection of choice silver topped
j and natural wood weapons they drew
I mental sustenance from through so many
seasons has suffered a temporary divorce
from the fashionable toilet. British
manhood is unprotected, and goes empty
handed on the promenade save for a
glove possibly, or in stress of weather a
medium sized silk umbrella.
The collapse of the stick is attributable
to the wholesale adoption of imitation
costly canes by the London clerk and
petty tradesman.
‘Arry, the haberdasher, greengrocer
and draper men were contented until re-
I cently to carry blackthorns or a light
rattan. To this no objection was raised
by the aristocrats, and all would have
gone well had not a sharp American
flooded the market with cheap, flashy
copies of swelldom’s own stick. The re
sult was intolerable, and hence the uni
versal renunciation of canes iu upper
circles.—Illustrated American.
To ‘Winter in the Arctic.
Three vessels from San Frau cisco are
now in winter quarters at the mouth of
the Mackenkie river, within 1,200 miles
of the north pole. This is said to be the
first time that whaling vessels have vol
untarily wintered in this location. The
colony comprises nearly seventy men.
It will be late next summer before they
can be heard from, unless by some chance
a trapper might find his way that far
north by sledges and back again to a
British fur trading post. Provisions in
the way of fish and game will be pro
cured from the Indians who have vil
lages close by. The vessels are the
steamers Grampus and Mary D. Hume
and the schooner Nicolene. Alluring
stories of bowhead whales being so thick
in the water that you could walk about
on their backs as on broken ice led the
I vessels to their present location.—San
I Francisco Alta.
Last of the Buffalo.
There is a small herd of buffalo on
j what is known as the Red desert, not
j many miles from Laramie, Wyo. A
party of hunters recently returned from
there and report having seen fifteen,
j During their trip they captured two
' with a lasso, but both of them died, it is
! said, from the effects of the choking they
| recei veil. One of them was taken after
! a chase of two days. Mr. J. C. Robbins 1
! was at the head of the party, and his
purpose in capturing them alive was to
add them to a private collection of the
wild ammals of the Rocky mountains,
! which he intends exhibiting at the
World’s fair at Chicago. He left three
hunters in the hills near the desert for
the purpose of capturing other animals.

A Queer Duck ut Great Duck Island.
On Sept. 12 a colored individual, who
j gave his name as “Joe” Hopkins, came
ashore in a fourteen foot dory on Little
: Duck island. Members of the lighthouse
| department offered to take him to the
mainland, but be declined, and since
| tnat time has lived on the island. Little
Duck is entirely devoid of vegetable
I growth, and Hopkins has subsisted en
tirely on mussels. To procure these he
j has been obliged to wade up to his waist
j in water. He still refuses to go to the
1 mainland, but desires a new boat. He
claims that he is en route for Africa,

It’s a Way Politicians Have.
A lady of this city -who has been read

tocher husband the other day: “1 sup
pose it is all right for a prominent public
man to be referred to by a nickname,

should refer to Mr. McKinley as McKin

The iOi*owing is an extract from a letter writ

“ I returned from Tyler, Texas, on the 12th
inst* I find my wife’has been taking P.oyal
(iermetuer to the GREAT UPBUILDING of
her physical system. She is now almost free
from the distressing headaches with which sh**
has been a MARTYR for twentv years. Surely
Rnasdone wonders for her! I WISH EVERS
POOR SUFFERING WIFE HAD ACCESS TO
THAT MEDICINE.’
Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, Pastor First Baptist
church. Atlanta, Ga., was cured of a long stami-
mg case of Catarrh. His wife had been an in
valid from nervous headache, neuralgia, and
rheumatism FOR THIRTY YEARS, scarcely
having a day’s exemption from pain. After
taking Royal Germetuer two months, he write*.
“A more complete transformation I ha\ e ne\ er

DISAPPEARED. She appears to be twenty years
younger, and is as happy and playful ’as $
healthy child. We have persuaded many of our
friends to take the medicine, and the testimony
<f all of them is that it is a great remedy.”
Dr. King’s Royal (iermetuer is a boon t«

American politics will be uncommonly int- rest
ing for the next two years. The mandate of the
people, pro ouneed with such e' phasis at the
polls on November 4. will notbelued-d by the
Republicans. The message of the Pn-ident, re-
v aling their temper and outlining their policy,
fore-1,allows an obstinate resistui.ee to the popu
lar will. The principle of the McKinley Tariff
act will be adhered to, trusts will be further fa
vor d, sectional passions will he rekindled by a.
fresh attempt to pass the Force bill, and Quay,
repudiated bv his own State, will continue to
mold the policy and embody the moral standards
of his party. The Republican naders, greedy of
the power they have abused, will strive :o keep
their covenant with the selfish interests that
control them by opposing with their vot* s in the
Senate and w.th the Kxecut«ve veto measures
which an enormous majority of the people have
decreed shill be enacted to relieve them from
the burdens of excessive taxation and Repub
lican extiavagance. It will be a historic struggle.
In this com test the New York f J lines will laDor
heart ami sout, with zeal, energy’ and all its re
s urces, to make a convincing pr seiitaticn of
the people's ease against the men now in control
at Washington. No newspaper in the country
dealt the tariff makes of i890 such teJing blown
as the Times, none made larger eo trihut.ops of
tact ai d argument, none was so helpfu* to tlio
speakers who opposed the McKinley bill in Con
gress or in campaign discussion. Ai d in tho
tis.li yet to be made to establish the supremacy
of the people’s will ami give effect to their com
mands, the Times will take part with equal dili
gence and vigor
The exceiienc 0 and interest of the Times as a
general newspaper a e proverbial. It is its bum-
i ess to print the news, all the news that H is
wo th anyb'Xh’s time to read. Its reports are
accurate, concise, readable. Jt wastes no space
upon trash and the doings rf criminals and the
unclean. But to all public questions and hap
pening- that may inter* st intelligent and healthy
minds, to matters of art, science, liteiature, the
chu'clies. the army and navy, commercial and in
dustrial pro*.rt.ss, to the best tln ught ami the
best action in evt r> sphere of human enterprise,
it accords a generous and enlightened hospitality.
