The Kind Young Princess.

Many years ago there lived in Swift
zerland physician, named Michael
Shuppach, who, by his wonderful
cures became so celebrated that he
was visited by people from all parts
Of Europe. Not only the rich and
great went to this learned man, but
the poor and despised found him a
friend who was always ready to aid
them, without money and without
price"
Many people visited the DOCTORS
laboratory out ofcuriosity to see man
who could effect such wonderful cures.
One day, when there was party of
French ladies and gentlemen present
for this very purpose, u young French
marquis, thinking to amuse the
ladies, attempted some jokes with the
physician, who, although he was not
well acquainted with the French
language, answered with so much
wit and good sense that the jokes of
the marquis fell back upon himself,
much to his discontinue and the en-
tertainment of his friends.
While they were still engaged in
their witty conversation, poor old
peasant with snow-white beard, dress
ed in thin misera ble clothes, came into
the laboratory, and asked the physi-
clan for old Mary, his wife, whose
case the doctor well understood.
While the benevolent old man was
absent from the room, preparing the
medicine, the maquis turned his at
tention to the old peasant, and joked
him about his white beard, saying
aslo many unkind and cruel things tn
him.
At last, thinking to do something
very funny, he offered to bet that
there was not IA lady present would
kiss the old man tor twelve louis
dors.
Among those who witnessed the
foolish conduct of the marquis were
a Russian prince and his beautiful
young daughter. As soon as the wa.
ger was offered, the fair princess drew
from her purse twelve louis d'ors
which she placed in a little basket
and carried to the marquis, who, OF
course, was obliged to add his owr
twelve, which made the nice little
sum of about one hundred and sixteen
dollars.
ihc oSautiui yOuiiS pilhctSSt Wiioii
everybody loved, and whose reward
the marquis was especially anxious
to secure, then took the basket and
its contents and went to the peasant
and said to him in u kind, gentle
voice: +" Permit me, venerable faith
er, to salute you after the manner o
my country"
The old man could not decline sucl
an offer, so the young lady kissed ant
embraced him, and then presented
him with the gold, which she drew
from the basket. "Take this" said
she, Gas a remembrance of me, ant
as a sign that the Russian girls thini
it their duty to honor old age"
This incident contains beautiful
lesson. 1t shows how much better j
is to heal than to wound heart, ant
how much happinessa kind word ant
deed can give.

Lo, The Y0or Iasslwu.

Out on the Pacific railroad, the
other day, a Kickapoo Indian saw a
locomotive coming down the track
toward him at the rate OF forty miles
an hour. He thought II was an inn
ported breed Of buffalo, and he was
anxious to secure 1t, SO as to take the
prize at the annual exhibition of the
kickapoo Agricultural Society. So
he fastened one end of his lasso to
his waistbelt, and when the engine
got near, he flung the loop nicely
over the smokestack. Perhaps 1t Is
not necessary, but we may as well
relate that the locomotive did noe
stop. The engineer and firemen wit
messed the most successful attempt to
do the flying trapeze made by any
kickapoo Indian upon the plains
since the frs, January. There was
an aboriginal funeral at the next sta
tton. The grave was not large, for
they only buried a small piece of cop
per-colored meat, tied to a string and
enclosed in u sardine box.

THE Chicago Tribune, the leading

states that Congress still maintains
taxes direct and indirect, to the
amount of no less than eight hund-

has the frankness to confess that, of
this enormous tax, less than one half
Is received by the Government, the
remainder being distributed to private
individuals and classes who control
legislation. This startling fact should
arouse the indignation of the whole
American people.
