THE MILLER OF DEE.
There dwelt a miller hale and bold,
Beside the River Dee;
He worked and sang from morn till night.
No lark more blithe than he;
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be
•*I envy no one, no. not l,
And no one envies me!”
“Thou’rt wrong, my friend,’’said old King Hale,
“As wrong as wrong can be;
For could my heart be light os thine
I’d gladly change with thee.
And tell me now what makes thee sing
With voice so loud and free.
While I am sad though J am the king
Beside the River Dee?
The miller smiled and doffed his cap.
“I earn my bread," quoth he;
“1 love my wife, 1 love my friend,
I love my children three.
I owe no man 1 cannot pay
I thank the River Dee
That turns.the mill that grinds the com
To feed my babes and me.’’
“Good friend,” said Hale, and sighed the while,
“Farewell thee, happy be;
But ray no more if thou'dst be true
That no one envies me.
Thy mealy cap is worth my crown.
Thy mill my kingdom fee;
Such men as thou are England's boas?.
O, miller of the Dee. ”
Cii.inon Ball Capers.
Capt Meiedith John Ritchie and
George Shields, known as “old bosses”
and “old timers.” sat around in the Press
club one afternoon recently and talked
about the times of the war and told of
the funny capers that cannon balls and
musket balls cut. Capt. Meredith said
he once found a dead Confederate be
hind a tree. The dead man was resting
on one knee, in a position to shoot. His
musket was in his hands, the butt of the
gun was against his shoulder, and one
eye was open, squinting along the gun
barrel. There wasn’t a mark on the
body but the man was stone dead.
There was a ten pound cannon ball
buried in the tree. The man had been
killed by the concussion.
Mr Shields said that he saw a cannon
ball go into the ground about 200 yards
in front of where he was standing. He
thought that was the end of the matter,
but in about three seconds the ball came
out of tlie ground fifty yards beyond the
place it struck. It then in its fiight
struck a stump, carroined off, broke a
soldier’s leg, and, rolling on a few yards
further, upset a camp kettle and scalded
a man’s hands.
Foot Notes a Nuisance.
A writer in the London St. James Ga
zette objects strongly to the use of foot
notes in book* and particularly criticises
Mr. Bryce’s recent work on this account.
He says: “Except for the purpose of
relieving the text of references, the foot
note has no proper place in any book
that deserves to be called a book. It is
at best a kind of purgatorio, to which an
author consigns such remarks as lie
thinks unworthy of admitting to full
honors, and yet has not the courage to
cast out altogether. But there is hardly
a page of Mr. Bryce’s hook without foot
notes, and hardly a foot note which
rnight not well have been incorporated
in the text. Often, indeed, the foot
note contains the very ‘plum’ of the
page.”

“ I WAS W NG.”
A Sad EpUuie Illustrating the Sorrow
Such Words Often Prevent.
One morirng in VVtlkesbum* there was
a great colliery explosion. Hundreds of
Cornish miners were killed and their
corpses lay at the mouth of the coal mine
for recognition.
Sitting at the mouth, by a pale corpse,
was a j’oung wife. She looked at her
husband, but uttered no cry; her eyes
were dry She rocked herself to and fro.
her face white with anguish.
“Oh, that I had spoke fair to him at
the end!” 6he moaned. “Oh. that he
would come to life one minute, that I
could say, ‘Jimmy, forgive me,' but
nothing will help me now. Oh, I could
bear it all if 1 had only spoke fair to him
at the end. Oh, Jimmy! '
And then, at last, the story came.
They had been married a year—she and
Jim—and they both “had tempers,” but
Jim was always the first to make up.
And this very morning they had had
trouble.
It began because breakfast wasn’t
ready, and the fire wouldn't burn; and
they said hard words, both of them. But
at the very last, though breakfast had
not been fit to eat. Jim had turned round
at the door and said:
“Gi'r* me a kiss. lass. You know you
love me, and we won’t part in ill blood.”
“No, Jimmy. I don't love you,” 1 said,
petulantly
“Gi’emoone kiss, lass.” pleaded Jim
my.
“No, not one! and now”—and then
the tears rushed to her eyes.
With awful sobs she Hung Tier arms
around the corpse.
“Darling Jimmy! Darling Jimmy,
speak to me now," she mourned. “Say
you forgive me!”
“Do not grieve so hopelessly.” I said*
“perhaps Jimmy knows what you f r
now.”
But the mourner’s ears were to
all comfort, and the wailing cr> no
again.
“Oh. if I had only spoke to him fair at
the last!’’
It is not an uncommon story this. Wo
quarrel with those we love, and part and
meet and make up again; and death id
merciful ami waits till we are at peace.
Yet how possible is just such an experi
ence to any one of us. who parts with
some dear one in .anger, or who lets the
sun go down upon their wrath! But it
is always the noblest nature, the most
loyal heart, which is the first to cry:
“I was wrong; forgive uie.”—Uniden

A Thief Can tliss Villainy.
A Pi: korton detective who tracked an
embezzler to the play says: “A inelo
drama was the attraction, and it was in
the middle of the first act that 1 cania
in. 1 did not want to raise a disturbance,
so I took a seat behind my man and pre
pared to wait until the end of the por
formance. The scenes in the play were
strong, the villain being uuusually dia
helical and the hero and heroine noblo
and patient. Frequently the latter found
occasion to express their abhorrence and
condemnation of thieves and those who
violate confidence reposed in them, and
quite as frequently ^ ^ fho villain scoffed at
