Coon STORY FOR LITTLE BOYS
Not Bad for Grown.up Fo1hs,
Eather.-Two little boys were stand
ing at gate. They were both about
the same age. But one of them was
finely and tastefully dressed, while
the clothes of the other were coarse
and ragged. It was in the autumn.
The huskers were busy in the corn
field, and from the strip of wood be-
yond hoated out the sound of the
wood-cutter's axe.
"Have you no better clothes
Benny?" asked the well-dressed
boy.

"Why don't you get better ones,

Because can't. / have no
money"
"That is bad, Benny. Are you
going to school this winter ?"
81 guess not, Johnny; | must
stay out and do such little jobs as |
can find to do, [ would like to go to
school very much. I wish | knew
as much as you do, Johnny
"Pooh | don't know anything.
I am sorry for you. am glad that
I am better off. But that does not
make me feel proud. God made you
as good as I am if your clothes are
ragged"
Benny took his little friend by the
hand. A tear glistened in his eye.
"You have always been kind to
me, Johnny Allen" said he. "You
have never hooted at me nor tainted
me like other boys. So [ have
sometimes taken up your quarrels,
and [ will stand by you when we are
men,"
"Ldok here, Benny, how would
you like to work on a farm all win
ter? Good clothes, enough to eat,
and little pocket money, a nice
family to live with, and plenty of
work"
II would like that" O
"Tben I can help you. 1t just
occurred to me. Ny uncle Abbott
wants a little boy on his farm. l
will give you letter to him" ...
Two days afterward Benny stood
in front of uncle Abbott waiting a
reply. Uncle Abbott was pleasant
looking old man, not yet stopped, but
with hair quite gray. He put on his
spectacles, opened Johnny Aliens
letter, and read as follows
MEADOW BROOKS,
Oct 9, Eighteen As.

Now Johnny was quite small
boy, was not SO well learned as
Benny, supposed him to be. But
Notwithstanding the spelling, misuse
of capitals, and want Of punctuation,
the letter of introduction was suh-
cient. Uncle Abbott gave Benny a
home for number of years..
1t was an October night in PhiIa-
delphia. The air was cold as No
vember. It was late, and there was
not much noise on on the streets. In
a cosy room sat man. He looked
care worn and haggard. His wife,
a beautiful woman, stood beside him,
smoothing his hair, and speaking
words of encouragement to him.
ats no use, Bell,y' he groaned.
"If I cannot command ten thousand
dollars by tomorrow noon, I must
go to the wall. The banks are tight,
and there is no money to be negotia-
ted for in the street. [ am a ruined

Dae It is calculated that Ameri-
can families can travel in Europe for
twenty five per cent. less than il
costs to stay at home. Beef is only
six pence sterling pound in Bre-
men. Heretofore rich people have
gone abroad for pleasure, but unless
prices moderate, the poor may even
tually have to 60 abroad for the sake
of economy.
