Henderson Too Strong and Experienced for Him. The wrestling match between Harvey Parker, who has made his home here, and Martin Henderson of Brooklvn. N. took place in Koehler'a 'ruin hall Friday evening. Despite the rain there were 300 people in the hall when the match began.

G. F. Bolger was chosen referee. Parker was to throw Henderson 10 times in an hour. The men got on the mat and began to wrestle at 8.50 o'clock.

Henderson weighed 194 pounds stripped and Parker weighed 144. It was evident to the spectators that Parker had a. big job on his hands. Henderson is very finely built. He is strong and supple.

Parker got him on his knees on the floor and worked hard, to throw his man. They both sweat very much and wrestled hard. Henderson's strength enabled him to break hold after hold and it was 3S 1 minutes before Parker got a. fall. He got five more in 3.

4M-, 3 and 5 minutes, and as there were only six minutes left in which to gain four more falls he quit. Everyone waa satisfied with the exhibition. There was a little argument after the match. Henderson said he could throw Parker the best two in three, whereat Parker challenged him for $300 or $1000 a side. MUSIC AT NOTRE DAME TOMORROW.

"A man shouldn't judge another by appearances or what he hears'," said a printer the other 9ay. ''Several years ago I landed in New York I went to the proprietor of a boarding house and askod him to stake me to a room. I knew the man pretty well, and I also knew the kind of a place ho ran. It was a where all the crooks of the city congregated. Of course, they were the higi class sort.

Among them, were counterfeiters, confidence men, 'handshakers' and all those whose tricks were then new, but which the sophisticated public now know as well as the men who work the grafts. "The fellow who ran the house told me he might give me a bunk with a fellow who was occupying a double room and that he would fix me out with a single room as soon as one was vacant. I was glad to take anything, and as the other fellow was wiiiing I became his roommate. I soon got work and was able to pay my way, but I still kept the room at this house, because I felt under such obligations. "I never knew what was the vocation of the man 1 was rooming with.

Is one of the rest of the boys did either, not even the smoothest of the 'coa' men. He would go away for a fetf days and come back with a roll as big as the leg of an elephant, but he was so close mouthed that no one discovered his graft. He was always free with his coin, so no one asked any questions. "I was a bit leery of him, and so one night when I rolled in a trifle worse for a slight jag I looked around for a place to put my money. I only had about $15, but I wanted it when I got up in the morning.

The other fellow was lying asleep in his bed, and I tucked the wad under the edge of the carpet. "I woke the nest morning with the fiercest thirst I ever had in my life. I dressed and went over to the carpet and got my money. The bar was open when I got down stairs, and I ordered a brandy and soda. When I pulled out the roll, I found a $50 hill wrapped around the outside.

I thought I had the D. until the barkeeper looked up and said: 'Hey, Bill, been playin ft. 'What do you say is the denomination of this I asked, holding up the roll. 'It's a said the barkeeper. I answered, 'but let me count this I skinned the roll and found there was $700 in it.

I nearly dropped dead, but I kept my mouth shut. Pretty soon the fellow who had a room with me came in and asked for a drink. He pulled out a wad of bills, and the expression on his face would have made a Chinaman laugh. I went over to him and said: 'Here, I'll trade you my roll for "He looked at me for a moment, and he gave the only smile I ever saw on his face. 'Must have hid out pretty close together last night, he said, as we shook hands.

Sweet flower, I love in forest bare To meet thce, when thy faint perfume Alone is in the virgin air.

Of all her train, the hands of spring First plant thee in the watery mold. And I have seen thce blossoming Beside the snowbank's edgea cold.

THE EXCITED MAN. Why His Efforts to Calm the Paasen- Bera Were Unappreciated. "Some funny situations occasionally arise from sudden cases of real or apparent danger," remarked a much traveled Philadelphia one day recently, "an illustration of which fact came under my observation on a crowded steamboat. The time was night, and some big excursion party was ou board. All at once the boat began to careen from side to side in a way that alarmed even me, accustomed as I was to queer antics of water craft, but because of the many -women and children on board I kept my alarm to myself.

"It wasn't so with others who noticed the boat's rocking, however, and pretty soon everybody was frantically fastening on life preservers. I mean everybody who could get them, for the boat was equipped with only about half enough to go around. Then there followed a scene of the wildest confusion. Women were crying and shrieking. Some of them were on their knees praying.

In the midst of it all the captain appeared. Coming up to a little group of which I was one, and the members of which were outwardly calm, he assured us that there was really no danger and asked us if we would quietly mingle with the people and endeavor to restore quiet. Of course we consented. But that wasn't the funuy part. Standing near enough to overhear our conversation was an excited individual of middle age.

When we started on our missionary work, he thought it his duty to help, and half a minute later he was hard at work in the cabin telling the women to stop their crying, for the boat was all right. He didn't seem to have much success, however, and I wondered at it until I iiirn stop in front of a grim visaged, middle aged woman who had been unable to get hold of a life preserver. 'Be calm, madam, be he ei- claimed, 'there is no danger whatever, and the boat will get to shore all "The woman looked the fellow over scornfully. 'If you are so sure of she retorted, 'then give me one of those two life preservers you are hanging on to so "Sure enough, although I hadn't noticed it before, the man had been carrying a life preserver in each hand In addition to the one he wore around his waist all the time he was energetically assuring the weeping women that there was no danger. The thing was so absurd that I and two or three others who took it all in burst out laughing, which had as much to do with restoring quiet as anything else.

Half an hour later the boat landed right side up with care, and we saw no more of the man with the three life Inquirer. WHEN THE WILD GOOSE CRIES. fhs north wind bends the rushes till they kin the white capped lake, And through the brown tipped cattails, making low, weird music, slgha; Ihe hunting badger along the shore where wavelets break, And long black shadows swift creeping, when the wild goose cries. 1he air is filled with snowy Bakes that fly before the hreeze, And low hung clouds are scurrying across the gloomy skies; The lazy mallard to ioroe marsh's sheltering rushes flefs. And early morn's chill Hinging when the wild goose cries.

The swift winged canvasback tnd redhead speed before the wind; The silent swimming muskrat to hts reed home quickly hies; The anxious hunter crouches low within his grass fringed blind, Nor moves nor speaks--scarce breathing--when the wild goose cries. Far out across tha distant bills the nobla quarry While their careful flight la marked by anxious, straining eyes; Hotly coursing blood tremor to the hunter brings; Steady now! There's need of coolness, when the wild goose cries. --Colorado Spring! Gazette. Hamor. The unexpected humor which often tints the grave speech of the Quaker is well illustrated in a little story told of an eminent young physician of Pennsylvania at the time of the civil war.

He had determined to serve his country and leave his practice at home, but met with grieved remonstrance from hr.s mother, a sweet faced Quakeress. "I beseech of thee not to go to this war, my son!" she pleaded, her soft eyes full of tears. "But I do not go to fight, mother," said the doctor cheerfully. "I am going as a medical man. Sorely there is no harm in that." "Well, well," said the little mother doubtfully, "go then, if it must be so." Then suddenly a gleam of loyalty shone through her tears, and she straightened herself and looked bravely up into her tall son's face.

"If thee finds thee kills more than thee cures," she said demurely, "I advise thee to go straightway over to the other side, my son!" Youth's Companion. Gets His Papers Cheap. There was a slender crowd rippling over the shallows at LaSalle street and boulevard, and with it came a stout but comfortable appearing man. He gave every evidence of having been at work all day, though the labor of it had not been too heavy, for he was by no means drooping and exhausted. When he reacher the keep the streets clean box at the corner, he gently pushed aside a citizen who was standing there chatting to a friend on the state of the market, shoved the drop door of the box out of the way and looked in.

Then he thrust in his hand and pulled out an evening paper. He lookeil at it, found it was the last edition, reached in and got another, of different name, rejected several that were duplicates or of too early an to please him, folded the two neatly and proceeded on his walk. "That's the way to make money," said one of the citizens. "Never pay for anything." That sort of custom is what makes the newspaper business so good in Chicago. --Chicago Post.

Looking; For Her Boy. Every moruing, storm or calm, Sundays and holidays, year in and year out, an old, stooped, black gowned figure of a woman sets out from her home near the navy yard gate and walks all the way to Georgetown. After prowling around aimlessly there for an hour or so, she takes a car and returns to her home. The old woman is wcakminded. She was widowed about 19 years ago, and two weeks i after her husband died hw only son, a young man of 23 or thereabout, was drowned while swimming in the Eastern Branch.

The old woman has never been convinced that her son was really drowned, and she makes the daily trip from the navy yard gate to Georgetown with the ever present expectation of coming across the Post.

Six Months Was Set For His 4- Trial, but This Was Shortened a Little. -M-H-H-M I Teddie had sighed six times in five minutes, so I had to ask him what was the matter. "The fact is, Maisie," he confessed, "I'm in love." "Again?" "The other times I wasn't--not really." "Teddy Boyd," I said severely, "I have often told you that you are a silly hoy!" He is my cousin and not two years older than I am, so I can speak plainly to him. "You're always down on a fellow." "If I'm 'down' on you, why do you always come to me with your ridiculous love affairs?" "I suppose I can smoke a cigarette?" he asked. ''I suppose you can.

If it is a mild one, it probably won't hurt you. How many does this make in the last six months?" "Cigarettes?" "Objects of adoration." "The others weren't. I only fancied-- "Indeed you have a short memory. Do you remember what you told me about Katty Norrington? She was the first great passion, I believe?" "Oh, hair was like sunset, wasn't it? I call it red. Her going!" he announced savagely.

"Very well." I composed myself on the sofa. "Goodby!" He went out, slamming the door. "Teddie!" I called. He returned, looking rather sulky. "Would you mind giving me the book off the piano bef-ore'you go?" He brought it ungraciously.

"There's a good ooy." He made for the door again. "Arid--Teddie!" "Weli?" he growled. "Kindly close the door gently. There are such things as "I'd like to--shake you!" he said savagely. daren't." He did--not very hard.

"You horrid, spiteful boy!" I cried indignantly. "You aggravate a fellow so," he explained. I turned my face away and pretended to be angry. "Please go," I said He didn't. "The truth is," he avowed, "it is very serious this time." He sat down again.

He did look more solemn than usual. "I don't want to know anything about it," I said snappishly. "Don't be disagreeable." "I'm not." I was' ratner. You see, Teddie is very useful to take me out and execute commissions, and so on. If he fell properly in love, he would be no use at all.

"I don't believe you." "Honor bright." I compressed my lips and sat bolt upright. Prom the time when he was in knickerbockers you could always trust him when he made that affirmation. "Who is she?" "I'll tell you presently." "What is she like? Beautiful, of course?" call her awfully pretty." "No doubt Dark or you." "Tall or short?" "Oh--about medium." "Moderation is excellent in all things," I agreed. I am "medium" myself. "What color are her eyes?" "Well--er--I don't know what color you'd call them--hazel or brown or--what color do you Mil yours?" "I call them brown.

You told me they were 'nondescript' a few weeks ago, didn't mean it," he hastened to disclaim. "They are very charming eyes really, hers--and yours." "I am delighted to meet with your approval. I hope she has also a pretty mouth like mine." "If you refer to what I said last Christmas?" "When you were old enough to know better," I remarked severely. It was in connection with the mistletoe. He insinuated that my mouth was large.

I did not agree with him. "I was only joking, of course," he explained. "I don't like a woman's mouth to be too small." "She has not a rosebud mouth, then?" "Oh--er--medium, you know. I don't dissect her. Taking her altogether, she's Ihe prettiest girl I've ever seen." "So," I said, "were the others." "The others," he vowed, "were not worth mentioning in comparison with her.

This time I'm in earnest, Maisie-- flreadfnlly in earnest." "I--I'm rather sorry, Teddie," 1 confessed somewhat woefully. "It's very selfish of me, hut you've made yourself BO useful I really? I'm awfully glad. I was afraid perhaps I'd been rather a nui- Kanco, coming here-so much." "Of course you have!" "Then how--I dou't be began. "You are a silly boy!" I said. He is.

We were silent for a few minutes. Then I thought I'd been rather disagreeable. So I smiled pleasantly. "You nre a good boy all the same," 1 said. "Now tell me her name." He caught bold of my wrists BO suddenly that 1 jumped.

Do you mean to that you don't know?" he blurted cut. "Don't I come to see you two or three times a day? Don't I do everything you tell me to? Don't Teddie," I cried, "How can you be so foolish! I've a great mind to be fery angry." "Angry, Maisie!" "What business have you to speak to me iike this when you don't know your own mind for five minutes? The other weren't half as nice as you, Maisie." "You thought so A TALE OF TWO CITIES Mrs. H. Collins resides at 22 Francis avenue Pittsfield, and Mrs. Maria Dwyer lives at No.

"Only it never curred to me that I was in love with you." "It doesn't occur to me that I am in love with you." "Oh, Maisie, try!" I shook my head. "You are too changeable. I should be afraid." "I'll wan a month." "A year?" He looked very miserable.

"If you won't let me off with less. You won't flirt with other fellows, will you, Maisie?" "I never flirt," I stated, with surprise. "Oh, look nothing to speak of," I said hastily. "And if I choose, why shouldn't "Because--you know!" He looked at me as if he was really in earnest. I think I rather hoped that he was upon the whole.

"Won't you promise?" he pleaded. "Don't you like me a little bit?" "1 like you a yreat deal, Teddie. No, no! You mustn't--I won't have it, Teddie --I mean it!" I pushed him. away and stood up. "But if you like a big more?" He put his great hand on my shoulder and looked down at me.

He is rather good looking. "I'm afraid, I said, "we've been brother and sister so long. Besides, you'd get tired of me in a fortnight." "You are not the sort of girl to let a fellow get tired of you." "Possibly," 1 said, "I might prefer not to have to keep a lover by my own exertions." He was silent for a long time. He looked so miserable that I was quite sorry for him. "Don't you think it possible for a fellow to have been in love with a girl whom he met constantly without knowing it?" he asked.

"Ye-es," 1 admitted. "I suppose it is. But--Teddie!" I laid my hand on his arm. "Yes, Maisie?" "It is also possible for him to fancy that he is in love with her when he isn't." "I'm as sure were about the other girls!" He hung his head. "Dear old boy, you've been the best of fellows to me always; but don't you think you ought to go away for a time and see if you do not change your mind, before you speak to me like this? Wouldn't it be fairer to me?" "I'll go to Dncle Jack's tonight," he said, impulsively.

"He's been expecting me for a long time. And I'll stay as long as you like." I smiled a little. "Six months?" He pulled his mustache. "It's an age, He waited for me to offer a reduction, but I did not "I'll go." "Thank you, Teddie." I gave him my hand to shake, and he kissed it--the silly fellow. "I shan't come back till the six months are up," he vowed, "unless you send for me." "I am not likely to do that," I said.

"You'll let me write to you?" "1 can't prevent you." "Do you want to?" I laughed. "No." He laughed too. "You'll write back?" "Well--once a week." "And won't flirt with any one?" "I shan't promise any such thing," I said determinedly. I didn't then, but in the evening before he went he seemed so anxious that I had to promise something of the sort. Also he persuaded me to kiss him just once--it was as a cousin, I impressed upon him.

Next day he wrote to me. It was a very nice letter and a very long one. I shouldn't have thought he could write like it. He inclosed some verses. I should believe that he was in earnest when he broke out in poetry, he said.

This was the "poetry:" IN LOVE. Since Maisie kissed me all the earth Has seemed a-flood with laughter; The sun and moon run mad with mirth. The Btars go twinkling atter. The wee birds' eyes are opened wide, Because they saw her do it; The flowers smile a sly aside, "In IOTE, of course; we knew it!" The merry wind comes whispering, The humming bees all yellow. And song birds sing anr" church bells ring, "Oh, lucky, lucky fellowl" Dear Maisie smiles and blushes, though She said 'twas as a cousin; ti cousins kiss their cousins so, Next time I'll take a dozen.

No words to say have I today, I I'm thinking, thinking, thinking; Love's rosy wine last night was mine, And raem'ry still is drinking. i The moon, the earth, the stara and sun Are full of life and laughUr; They know, when first kiss is won, A thousand follow after. This is what I wrote back: My Dear Teddie: You are wrong in saying that you cannot writs a nice letter. You arc wrong' in supposing that your arc "poetry." Yon are wrong about the sun, and the moon, and the rest of the things. You arc wrong in supposing that it waa anything but a cousin.

You are wrong in thinking that I blush. i You are dreadfully wrong about the thousand. I You are probably wrong about being in earnest. You arc wrong in fupposing that I shall let you come back before tTic time. You are wrong in saying that you don't believe that I care for you a 'oit.

At the bottom of your conceited mind you believe that I adorn you. You arc wrong in that. Take rare of your old self and be a good boy. Your affectionate cousin, MAISIE. T.

arc wrong in laying that no one misses jou. I'm sure auntie does. You ought to come home every week to see your mother. Of course you must not come near me. The ridiculous fellow returned the next day and came straight to Came of Stave Frlgrht.
