ERLA A FLOWER GIRLi i 1 - -- 'L O W E R S , five cen ts a bunch J

LA T h is cry came from th e pale, trem - J[ ulous lips of a m aiden of 18 sum ­

m ers. I t waa on a crow ded s tree t, and the h e a t w ns so in tense th a t people w ere long­ing, to be.once m ore in the seclusion of th e ir hom es. '

A ll day . long she had stood there w ith the kanlo trem ulous cry, w atching th e people as tK ey hu rried to and from business, and th in k in g of th e m o th er a t hom e upon whose com fort tho selling of h e r flowers depended, " P o o r m o th er," she though t, “ how can I r e tu rn hom o w ith o u t tho needed money? Oh, w hy w ill n o t some one buy of m e? Some o f these peop le who have so much w hile we have so l i t t le ." B u t h e r though ts would n o t b ring custom ers, and again she held ou t th e p re t ty bunches of flowers as tem p t­ingly aa she knew how.

" I w ill take ten bunches," said a polite voice i in h e r ear. Bhe tu rn e d w ith a s tart. Ten bunches! She had n o t sold a bunch to ­day. W ith d e f t fingers, she selected the fresh est an d best buncheB, and w ith a look of g ra titu d e handed h im the flowers.

E rla Seym ons was a lovely girl, w ho did j i j l in h e r pow er io help h e r feeble m other, com e days she sold flowers.

A s H aro ld Nelson and the young lady w ith him (who w as hiB sister) w ent on th e ir way N en a rem arked : " W h a t a beautiful girl!W h a t a p ity Bhe ha& to sell flowers on the s tr e e t! "

H aro ld , in his h ea rt, echoed her words. T h ia t'jr&B u o t the first tim e he had seen E rla Seymons.

A nd E rla forgot to c ry : "F low ers, five cen ts a b u n ch !" She was stand ing idle, her b row n eyes fixed on- vacancy, th ink ing of w h a t o r w hom ? T hinking, unconsciously, of the young man w hom she though t so kind.

P erh ap s also she could dream the same dream s th a t o thers m ore fo rtu n a te th a n her­self did. D ream s of love and cojnfort, b u t in all of th em her m o th er w as never forgot­ten . T h a t n ig h t as she explained to her m o th er th e circum stances of h e r fo rtuna te sale and described th e purchaser it brought back to the invalid a p ic tu re of a young man she h ad know n ib her young days. B u t he waa n o t of th e k ind th a t would have bought th e flowers. H o w as hard and cruel, and had done h e r d au g h te r 's fa th e r a g reat w rong fo r w hich she had hard ly forgiven him .

A s she though t of these th ings she took from th e tab le an old fam ily album , and tu rn in g to a p ic tu re called the a t ten ton of he r d au g h te r to it .

"W h y , m am m a, th a t looks ju s t like the young m an w ho bought my flow ers," ex­c laim ed E rla .

T h a t n ig h t in th e lib ra ry of the elegant m ansion of the N elsons N ena • rem arked: "H aro ld an d I saw such a lovely g irl; he w as ju s t sm itten , and on a flower girl, too,

" N e n a ,.d o n 't ta lk in riddles, b u t tell me abou t i t ," sa id h e r m other, gently .

T hen N ena, In h e r ligh t-hearted fashion, re la ted th e experience of th e morning.

A ll th rough th is recital H on. F red erick N elson listened in ten tly , b u t said noth ing; he h a d also seen E rla , th e flower girl, and rem em bered her.

T be n ex t day, as he was abou t to hail a car, h is e a r caught the sound of a voice say­ing : "F low ers, fi7« cents a bunch ."

" T h a t is therg irl," he m u ttered ; "she is the p ic tu re of N ella .”

W h y is th is man ta lk ing in th is m anner? W e shall have to tu rn back and read the p as t pages of the h isto ry of the p resen t H on. F rederick N elson.

Y ears ago a t college, he had fo r a room ­m ate a young man abou t bis own age, nam ed L eroy Beymons. ’

L eroy w as a you th of steady hab its and good cha rac te r. T h e y soon becam e fast friends and college chum s. B u t now some­th in g happened to cause a drifting a p a rt of the tw o. A t an e n te r ta in m en t given by the s tu d en ts they bo th m et N ella S tan ton . U nlucky day l B o th m e t to love. One n ig h t, in th e secrecy of th e ir room, they agTeed th a t each should do hia beat to win! and th a t n e i th e r should in terfere w ith the o ther.

N ella favored Leroy, and w hen he pro­posed w as accepted. W h en F rederick was told by L eroy th a t he had been accepted the blow was hard and nea rly stunned him. Then, as he fu lly realized th a t N ella, whom he had loved njgh un to m adness, loved Leroy, his grief and rage knew no bounds.

H e accused Leroy of treachery , Baying he h ad n o t given h im fair p lay . H e ended by calling h im a tr a ito r to the holy bonds of friendsh ip , and saying th a t he never w ished to see h is face again. S tunned by such tre a tm en t, L eroy tittes*ed n o t a w ord, b u t, collecting hia things, le ft the room.

F rom th a t day to th is F red ie rick Nelson an d L eroy Seym ons had n o t looked into each, o th e r ’s faces. S hortly a f te r F rederick read of th e m arriage of Leroy and N ella.

A ll th is tim e L eroy and hia wifo w ere liv­ing happ ily tog e th er in a d is tan t city.

O ne y ea r, tw o years, passed, and the couple w ere bleBsed w ith a beautiful little daugh ter, w hom they nam ed E rla .

Bhe w as th e pritfe of th e ir h ea rts ; all th e ir though ts and plans w ere fo r h e r alone. Ono day a cruel b low fell upon th e head of N ella . L eroy h a d been, killed! 0 , th e te r ­rib le onguishl B u t she would be brave fo r h e r baby g irl 's sake. A fte r tbeix m oney w as gone N ella h ired some cheap room s and suppo rted herself and E r la by h e r needle. A nd now she depended upon her daughter l o r su ppo rt, aa h e r fragile hea lth prevented her frem even, th is m eans of support. M eanw hile F rederick had m arried a refined girl nam ed L o ttie A shley, w ho, a f te r th e first grief and d isappo in tm ent passed aw ay, he loved. H ia one desire now waa to see his old friend and aak his forgiveness. I n ­s tead of boarding tho ca r he re traced hia steps and w alked to w here E rla Was stahd- ing.

" I w ill take th o w hole b a sk e t," he said, in a businesslike tone . E r la could have fallen a t hia feet fo r g ra titu d e . She had Bold only tw o bunches all th is m orning,' and now to Bell th e w hole basket, and m om m a so m uch needed some li t t le luxu ry , and now she w ould have i t . H appy te a rs filled he r lus­trous eyes, an d she sold, in a trem ulous voice: " 0 , air, you are so k in d !" '

N o t y e t su re as to, tho correc tness o f tho deal w hich h ad token such possession of him , he asked, in a low voice, in w hich the

.eagerness w as h idden : " W h a t is you rn am e?" "M y nam e ;s E r la Seymons, s ir .” T h is w aa th e chance h e had coveted; i t w aa hia tim e. " E r la Seymons I” he ejaculated , in wefl-feigned su rp rise ; " I used to know a m an by th e nam e of L eroy SeymonB."

" T h a t w as m y own d ea r fa th e r ," rep lied E rla , in a choking voice.’ ’W h e re is h e n o w ?" he asked, m excite­

m ent w h ich he could n o t suppress."H e la dead, a ir." T h is w as indeed hard ,

w hen h e thou g h t him self so n e a r his desire."A n d y o u r m o th e r?" he asked, w ith heain

ta tio n . ,"S he is feeble.” .Tw o years have passed. M rs. Seymons

has. regained h e r hea lth , and ia living com­fo rta b ly (thank* to h e r friend , .F rederick N elson). E r la is a lovely, ta len ted tnaiden of 20. * .

ed . dogs are one of the most profitable attractions in the vaudeville line.” said an old tim e showman here w ith one of the current theatrical com pan iea “ 1 suppose there are at least 12 or 15 troupes of them scattered over the cou n try .” he continued, ‘.’and the good ones easily average u couple of hundred a week and expenses A s,there are no Balarie3 to pay for the dogs and no hotel bills for anybod)’ except the proprietor and one keeper the returns are rather handsome Nowadays they have the business down to such a fine point that the sudden death of any of the animals can be readily remedied by telegraph ing to New York, where several men make a specialty of keeping standard trick dogs in stock

Mongrels of no in trinsic worth are generally select­ed for tra in ing purposes, because they learn as quickly as the thoroughbreds and if anything happens to them the loss is so much lightbr There is a standard series of tricks which they are taught to <!<» so that one can easily re place auotiiei nod a little ingenuity on the part of the showman supplies the variety to tin* programme. ’—New Or leans Times Democrat

fever begins to rage.And there seems to be no

cure fo r the disease.The on ly re lie f in fact is

found in patronizing ou r foun­tain fo r cooling and delicious draughts.

O u r specialties are Ice Cream Soda o f a ll flavors, O range Phosphate made from real oranges, E gg Phosphate that is better flavored and more de­licious, than can be found any­where else, and rich, smooth Chocolate.

Come in fo r you r favorite soda beverage. It w ill relieve the fever until to-morrow .

Then come in again.

Too th brushes are an every day necessity. W e have a most exce llent brush, the bris­tles" drawn in and wire fasten­ed, io r 25 cents. This is a strong, durab le brush and will not lose its 'b ris tle s . It is the best value in o u r store.

C O N C E R N I N G P IA N O S *Prople say: “ Dohm. I notice your ads. Tell me

how can you sell pianos cheaper than home dealers and even big New York houses?” This Is a reasonable question and here is the answer and explanation: A m anufacturer wants me to sell h is make of pianos I say to him, “ suppose, In selling yohr piano, I come Into competition irith another make, do you allow me to cu t the price?” 44 We don’t care if you give the piano away; after you have bought It it’syours. However, we keep up prlces*in our ware rooms.” So saytftbe maker. Is uot this piano business plain? In the name of common sense why should you pay $800 to $500 for the lam e piano I can self you for $l?5]to $275t Ypu have the maker’s guarantee, th a t protects you. I am a piano tuner and select your piano parta even befr ro they are put together. Drop me a postal and I will explain to you the 'm yste­ries of the piano business and save you a hundred dollars or so. By the way, you can have your pianos tuned now before the rush, test the work, and pay if satisfactory during the season.

Asbury P a rk has no lack o f facilities fo r the amusement and' diver- tisementr o f visitors, no matter what may be the ’ predilection o f the so jou rner. Scores o f hote ls du ring the summer season have dances' a lm ost nightly, card parties, tennis p laying and a ll social amusements. Public amusement places fo i peop le o f a ll ages a re open a l l summer.

F o r those seriously inclined there a re churches o f every denom i­nation, frequent lectures, concerts and lite ra ry entertainments. The su rf

/ bathing is the best in the w o r ld ; the fishing and boating are unexcelled.

' ASBURY P4RX IN WINTER.The early part of October witnesses the

departure of the greater part of the vast throng that for four months has promenaded the broad

. plaza, bathed In ocean and pool, danced in a score of ballrooms, boated ou the lakes and gos- alpped on hotel and cottage piazzas. Some of the large hotels close their doors, although a number continue < pen until November, while others remain open the entire year. O Many cot­tagers, however, remain, some of them far into November, and the number miking t!iij city their permanent home is constantly increasing.

For about three mouths,dating from December 1st, the town is not unlike other towns of good size scattered throughout the country. The permanent winter population of Asbury Park ahd her suburbs vanes from ten to twelve thou-

■sind peiajus. The commercial busiuhss la very good ; an Increasing trade from the aur- rounding country keeping the shop keepers moderately busy.

It is needless to recite the ordinary advan­tages and attractions of the town as a place of winter residence. Suffice to cay that Asbnry Park's stores, her banka, her schools, her theatres, aud her churches are all up to the standard. The railroad aud street carservico Is good, the mail and telegraph facilities per­fect, and in short there is lacking none pf the latter day impiovemcnts for enjoying life that the average American now considers indispens­able.

It la a popular fallacy with those unac­quainted with the facia that this shore is a very bleak and barren spot during the days that the Ice King holds sway. Such Is not the^ truth. On the contrary, the average temperature la about four degrees warmer than New York. The cold north and northwest winds are broken by the hills west of the town. Snow seldom remains longer than-twenty-four hours, and a long spell of cold, hard weather ia a rarity.

Yet, notwithstanding the proximity to tho ocean, the aii is comparatively dry and cer­tainly very invigorating. The sandy soil and the abundance of balsamic pines in the near neighborhood are responsible for this Invalids and persona in poor health gain strength dally, and each succeeding year witnesses morn and more the fact that our fame as a health resort Is Boon bound to rival the town’s pleasure prop­erties.

There is mnch going on here in winter. Live social organizations famish sufficient entertain­ment. Public meetings of various kinds are held. The society ia of the best, aud there ia no lack of charming company. Whll, the town is devoid of excitement there Is no stag- lation, and every one finds enough to occupy his time’ profitably and pleasantly. One never- failing source of pleasure and recreation Is the ' ocean and boardwalk. Many prefer the ocean In winter. To look at its blue waters now as they roll in upon the sands and anrround the thousands of joyous, careless bathers, one would never Imagine that these same waters conld In a few hours develop such force and fury aa to endanger the strong bulkheads and piling, and draw thousands to witness' their orgies. Dur­ing a storm every one able to do so turns ont to see the mighty struggle of old Neptune. Clad in rubber from head to foot, men, women and children station themselves along the boardwalk or In sheltered nooks in the pavilions and gaze upon the troubled waters. The cry of “ a wreck ’ is all that is necessary to bring ont every male citizen, even though ft be in darkest night. The brave life-savers never lack for volunteer assistance, nnd the writer has on many occasions lent a hand in tbe work of bringing to shore the Bhipwfecked mariners.

But it is not only in time of storm that the ocean is worth visiting. On clear, cool days such as are common here in the montha of De­cember, January and February, many scores of

T oo much stress cannot be laid upon the fact that A sbury Pa rk is both a summer and winter resort. The climate -is| such that the city is a delightfu l place o f residence a ll the year. A number o f hote ls fitted and furnished fo r winter guests remain open the^fentire y e a r ; sunparlors have been built at Asbury, F ifth , Sunset^and Seventh^avenues, and on the Fishing pier; foo t o f F irs t avenue, fo r the use_o f w inter residents, and the city is rap id ly becom ing popu la r as a winter^ heme.

P R E S S .

E n f ly F r e n c h T h e a t e r s .The French theater owes ita origin to

the religions exhibitions given by the pilgrim s on th e ir retnrn from Palestine A t these exhibitions th e pilgrim s gave an account of the Holy Land and re*, cited their own adventures. They were afterw ard im itated by those who had never been tn the Holy Land. To these succeeded dram atic representations of subjects taken from the new text, which, being forbidden by th e provost of . Paris, the priests of F rance invited the king to be present at an exhibition to prove thnt they were /calculated to excite religious feelinga

The building in which those plays were produced was divided in to three scaffoldings—the highest represented paradise, the second the world and the lowest, which was in the form of a dragon's bead, represented helL The only entrance to the tw o upper scaffold­ings was throngh the d ragon’s head.

The actors never left the stage, even to' change their dress, and the plays were so long as to require several days for their completion A t tho close of each evening the uudience was invited to retu rn until the whole were finished, sometimes 40 nights.

W lm t I l f I )h i O b je c t T o .The author of “ Kiiigs of the H u n t­

ing F ield” says th a t nt a certain Eng­lish church many years ago. whilo the clergyman was reading prayers, a man walked in, Shouted “ I ’Ve g o t 'u n i” nnd immediately withdrew. He had soutfded a well known call.* Every farm er nnd laborer who possessed a gun soon fol­lowed him and in an hour or two brought to the villago inn. tho fox they had shot.

Spirituality was in those days a t a very low ebb, and some clergymen cared more for spprt than for the exapi- pie they set to th e ir flocks.'' Bishops tried to discountenance h u n tin g as a clerical past inn*, hut the law did not enable them to remove the offenders from their livings. Dr. Phillpotts, loishop of Exeter, who called to account several sporting clergym en in his dio­cese, m et one of them a t friend ’s house.

“ X am told, my lord, th a t you object to my hun ting ," said the clergyman.

“ Dear me, who could have told you boV answered the bishop. “ W hat I object to is that you should ever do anything else. ”
