MAY.
BY LOU A. ATTAWAY
0, the iovely mouth of May !
When all nature looks so gay—
Match’s breath, and April showers.
Have brought to us the sweet May flowers.
The queen of months is here at last,
And spreads for us a rich repast —
This modest, gentle, quiet inaid.
Calls ns to her lovely shade.
Beneath our feet she scatters flowers—
Invites us to her pleasaut bowers;
And bids us taste her every treasure,
And sip the nectarine of pleasure,
Welcome then, O lovely May!
Fairy goddess, while you Stay.
Ere you visit earth again,
We may be gone—“Lite’s but a
McMANUS’ MEANNESS.
Detroit Free Press.
^It 11 o’clock, on Monday after¬
noon, the Chief of Police was waited
upon at the City Ilall, by a stranger
twenty five years old, who said his
name was Dayton, and that he wanted
protection.
‘You sec/ he explained to the chief,
‘on Wednesday night i’ra engaged to
attend a saloon opening, and help
secure a crowd, by doing a number
startling triefcs. There’s a fellow
named McManus, and he swears he'll
make me trouble. He thinks I am
the man who hit him with a brick one
night last spring, and lie's bound to
get even.’
‘Oh, I guess he won’t bother you/
said the chief.
‘But he will, and I know it. You
see, Pm going to s\vallow a sword as
the first trick. Well, when I get it all
swallowed, he means to grab th?
handle and turn it around and shake
it as hard as he can, and try and
burst a blood-vessel, isn’t that the
meanest thing you ever heard of?
Sure, we are about to return to
barbaric ages P
‘i guess not/ said the chief.
‘ W'ell, I guess not either. The
next trick is blowing streams of fire
from my* mouth. This trick never
fails to win the admiration of the
assembled multitude, and cheer after
cheer greets the daring hero as the
flames die away to soft music. Aow,
what do you suppose McManus means
to do when I start to perform that
trick?
;X hardly know,’ answered the
chief.
‘Why he means to be armed with a
syringe and a pail of water, and the
minute the flames appear he will
squirt them out! Did the dark ages
ever furnish a meaner soul than
McManus carries behind his vest?
Was a more malignant revenge ever
conceived by a Roman assassin?’
T’U have to see him/ mused the
chief, as his mind grasped the whole
wicked plot.
‘Of course, you will. And that
isn’t all he means to do. The third
trick is called ‘Life in Death.’ J fall
dead. My pulse and heart cease to
beat. My pallor of death comes over
my face and hands, and the audience
etaud around in silence and awe, and
feel a chill creep over them at the
startling picture of the briefness of
life in this world below. This tricX*
has been known to cause strong men
to faint away, and the guilty have
been so overcome that they have
confessed on the spat to highway
robbery and arson. For seven long
minutes I seem to be dead, and then
I gasp, sigh, open my eves and return
to this cold and cruel world, to receive
the plaudits of the relieved and charm¬
ed concourse. What does that demon
of a McManus intend to do here ? 9
‘Rob the corpse?’ queried the
chief.
‘No, not that. He who steals my
purse steals trash. No, sir. That
hyena in human form means to have
one of the coroners ready, and the
minute X die he's going to have an
inquest on the corpse, and instruct
the jury to bring in a verdict of: ‘Died
of wind on the brain/ Did you—did
you ever—did you ever in all your
life hear of a more fiendish plot to
ruin a young man who has the perfect
confidence of the public, and who is
to receive four beer checks and a
dollar and a half for the performance?’
‘No, I never did/ solemnly replied
the chief, as he rose up, and if
McManus appears within & mile of
the performance, I’ll run him in.’
DEATH OF MR. JAMES.
We are once more pained to an-
uncethe death of Hon. Jesse James,
We speak of him as Hon. Jesse James
it is possible he may not be
yet, and wc should not desire
any personalities raked up in case he
should be still at large..
The regular semi-annual death of
Jesse Janaes has been a cause for
national sorrow for some time. His
obituary has been written seven or
eight times by the faltering hand that
pens these lines, and we are still
young.
Death has marked Mr. James for
its own a good man}’ times, and now
he has again been butchered to make
a Missouri holiday. The soil from
Maine to California has been drench¬
ed with his gore, and the green grass
waves about his ashes in every por¬
tion of our great land. No man has
perished from the face of the earth
so ubiquitously as Mr. James, and no
American citizen has yielded his
young life under such varied and
peculiar circumstances.
Lay him down where the bobolink
blossoms on the sweet potato vine,
and always plant him in the valley
where the pecan waves.
Dorn of humble and obscure pa¬
rents, he rapidly rose to the proud
eminence of America’s leading
and murderer. \\ lien death marked
him for his victim the last time, he
was as prominent a man a3 Henry
Ward Beecher or Roscoe Conkling.
His genius took a different shoot, it
is true, but he won a name as a plun¬
derer which throws the achievements
of our modern ban£* cashiers bac k
into cold and clammy oblivion.
Death has once more stilled the pulse
of a man who, were it not fer his little
eccentricities as a human butcher and
grand larceny connoisseur, would
have made an elegant humorist or
statesman.
Had he been less of an enthusiast,
and less radical as a murderer, iie
might nave shone in the begt society.
Had he pleaded emotional insanity
the first time begot up a surprise
funeral, instead of making 0 an outlaw
offlimself, he might now be alive,
loved and respected. 1 But he was iguo-
n
rantof the law, and thought
when a man murdered all the first-
class passengers on a traiu, he would
he dealt harshly with and ostracised.
That is where he committed a grave
error. He went on from bad to
and lost all respect for himself.
Yellow fever and the James boys
have been a great soourge to this
country. The mortality from these
combined diseases has been fright¬
ful. JVow that Jesse is dead once
more, we feel hopeful that the coun
try can be populated without delay.
Heretofore it has been an uphill job,
and such men as Dr Haywood have
felt at times as though they would
sink down with discouragement. But
now there is hope again. The fever
is subdued, and Jesse James again
reclines on his bier. 1 he census should
show a rapid advance in the nextjive
years, and boom in a w T ay that will
make other nations sick.—Bill Nye,
HOW HE LOST HIS MEMORY.
—**’"*
He had asiod the man in the seat
behind him for a chew of fine cut, and
after stuffing half the contents of the
box into his mouth he had put the box
itself into hispocAet. When xeminded
of this, he replied :
‘Bless me—bless me ! Why so I
did l Hope you won’t take offense,
sir, for I had entirely forgotten it-
Dear me t but I find fresh evidences
every day that I am not what I used
to be, I aee that I am losing my
memory.’
*T hat’s too bad/ said the Other,
‘How loDf? h have VOU been thus
afflicted?’
Exactly T-, thirteen , years ago to . day. , ,
‘Did some accident happen r to you j
, _.
Accident! Bless you, my dear sir,
it was a terrible thing. I was hung
by a mob/
‘7s that so? X don’t want to be
impertinent, •____ .. , , but , / r should , , , really .. ... like
to hear about it.
‘Certainly, no impertinence about
that. X was in Denver My business
there was to sell pianos and organs.
One night I called at. a house to see
about the sale of a piano, and I found
the lady murdered in the haH. While
X was standing there, horror-struck
and terrified, several parties came up,
accused me of the deed, and in ten
minutes a mob hal a rope around niv
necn. I was dragged to a tree, given
two minutes to pray, and then
up.'
‘Hung by the ucc k?’
‘Yes, a regular hangman’s noose,
and the end of the rope made fast and
I was left swinging.’
‘Great Scott! and—and—but you
didn't die?’
‘I dunno,’ softly answered the
piano man. ‘I date my loss of mcro-
ory from the minute they began
pulling on the rope. Perhaps I was
cut down and resuscitated—perhaps
the corpse was taken out and buried.
As 1 told you before, my memory has
sadly failed me.’
The other puzzled over it, blew his
nose, got red in the face and finally
blurted out:
‘Say, mister, I believe you are a
gigantic, consarned liar f
‘Like as not—like as not!’ blandly
replied the piano man. ‘ffhen a
man’s memory begins to fail he ma$
hit the truth or he may lie—just as
it happens. Have you any good
chewing tobacco with you?’
THE OLD MAN WAS THINKING
OF HER.
‘So you are not going to marry
Ezra Haskins’ daughter, though you
know my heart is set on that match,’
thundered Sir Marmaduke. the dairy-
king, to his son, Lem Norton, the
ox tamer of Yellow Springs.
*No, sir,’ meekly replied the young
man.
‘And, sir,’ roared the
father, ‘may I ask why you dare
thwart my expressed will?’
‘Yes, sir/ said his son, in a low,
faint voice, like a joke before break-,
fast, ‘because I asked her, and
said she’d rather marry a pump log,,
for brains, than anybody in this
family.’
‘Ah!’ exclaimed Sir Marmadufce,
with a fading inflection, aud then
j turned away to the new Ayrshire
j co -, v j& the corner of the lot, and said,
