The boy TO Succeed.

Arev years ago, . large drug firm
in the city advertised for a boy
Next day the store was ihronged with
applicants, among them a queer
looking little fellow, accompanied by
a woman, who proved to be his aunt
In lieu of faithlcss parents, by whom
be had been abandoned. Looking
ct this little wsif. the merchant in the
store promptly said: "Can't take him,
places all full, besides ho is too
small" II know be is small said
the woman, "but be is wiling and
faithful" There was twinkle IN the
boys eyes which made the merchant
think again. A partner in the firm
volunteered to remark that he "dId
not sec what they wanted of such a
boy-ho wasn't bigger than a pint OF
cider But after consultation the
boy was set to work. i lew days
later call was made on the boys 10
the store for some one 10 stay all
oight. The prompt response OF tho
little fellow contrasted with the reluc-
tance of others. In the middle OF
the night the merchant looked 10 to
see ifall was right in the store, and
presently discovered his youthful
prctege busy scissorng labels. "W hat
are you doing?7 said be. 81 did not
tell you to work at nights .!
know you did not tell me to, but |
thought l might as we'll be doing
,omethiug' Ia the morning the
cashier got orders to double that
boys wages, for he is ,cilling.' Only
a few weeks elapsed before a show OF
wild beasts passed through the
streets, and very naturally all hands
in the store rushed to witness the
spectacle. A thief saw this opportu-
nifty, and entered at the rear door
to seize something, Lutin twlnkllng
found himself clutched BY the dlmln
utive clerk aforesaid, and after a
struggle was captured. Not only
was robbery prevented, but valuable
articles taken from other stores re-
covered. When asked By tho mer-
chant why be stsid behind to watch
whom all others quit their work, the
reply was, "You told me never to
leave tho store when others were a5-
sent, and ! thought I'd stay" Orders
were Immediately given once more:
double that boys wages; be is will
ling and Jaihtul" To-day that boy
is getting salary Ofs2 800, and will
soon be taken as a member of the
firm. Young men, initiate that ez-
am pie.

Terrible Domestic Tragedy.

A terrible tragedy occurred yesterda!
morning at the residence of Franklit
Little, a very respectable resident o
Clarke county, Va, about sevaa nilel
from this place, in which six broth
ers, Clinton. Colunbu Gilbert, Wal
lace, Oscar ard Lycurgus were invol
we'd. 1t seems that the brothers had
been 4, variance for sometime, on ac-
count of jealousy that hao existed be-
tween the oldest brothers, Clinton,
Oscar, and Lycurgus.
On Saturday morning part Of the
famlly were at breakfast, Oscar aud
Lycurgus entered the dininGsr0om
locked the door s'ier them, cne put
ting the key 10 his pocket. Then one
ofthem took a seat near the door, the
other of from the table. Oscar, ad-
dressing himself to Clinton, said that
they had nothing against bin and did
not want him to interfere in what they
we're about to do. CIintos jumped
from his seat; but before he could
speak Oscar and Lycurgus drew their
reyolvers and aimed at him and the
rest of the family at the table and
fired, wounding Clinton and their
mother, Mrs. Little. The fight then
became general amongst all the broth
ers, lasting some minutes. All we're
severely wounded except Wallace.
BY this time some of the beIligerents
had gotten outside the house
Lycurgus and Oscar then started to
run; Columbus drew a revolver and
fred at the murderous brothers with
out effect, the distance being too great.
Gilbert, who was standing near, ran
into the house brought ou, rife,
fred at Oscar at long range, wounding
him in the leg He was captured by
Columbus and Gilbert, and held until
the arrival Of neigbbOrs. He was taken
to Berryville and lodged in Jail.
Clinton died after lingering a couple
of hours in intense agony. The moth
er is very low. A post mortem ex-
animation Of the body Of Clinton was
held by Drs. Somervilo, Miller and
Wilson. Internal hemorrhage was
found to be the cause Of death, the
ball entering above the right hip bone
and lodging in the left knee. A coro-
ner's inquest was held, and a verdict
rendered that "Clinton Little came
to his death by pistol-shot, fred
premeditatedly by his brother Lycur-
gus" The examination will take
place at Berryville, Monday. The ex-
citcment is great in Clarke county
against the brothers Oscar and Ly-
