certain jobs He is clever fellow impudent, good
natured, in certain way industrious, with less knowl
edge OF parliamentary law than he ought 10 have alb

WHERE'S JOHN! - "Where's

put her head out Of the window at
the back of her stall in the barn.

am SO hungry that am chewing the
straw of my bed. / wish John
would come! I want my breakfast.
Moo-oo-oo!"
"Sure enough, where's John!''

time for John to come with the meal
for me and my chicks. just hear
them cry! They want their break
fast. Chuck, cluck, cluck -
"Cock-a-doodle-do That will
rouse him, | guess" thought the old
fighting cock, "Cock-a-doodle-do !!
Come along, John! You..are want
ed. The cow wants her breakfast !;
the hen and her little chicks want
theirs so do the ducks, the turkeys
and the doves. And | want mine.
Cock-a doodle-do!"

wish John would GOMEZ" thought
the old turkey. 'Ihave been off my

scarce. Why doesen't he !. come z

thought the dove. ''Some crumbs

John! Here we are ell waiting.
Coo-oo-oo!"
'Quack, quack! Will that boy
never come with our breakfast.2''
thought the two old ducks, who were
waiting with the rest. ''We want
to go and swim in the pond but we
must have our breakfast first. Quack,
quack -
And SO they all waited and wait

before John came and unlocked the
barn door. What had been the
matter? / will tell you; but let me
whisper in your ear. for John feels
a little mortified about It. You must
know, then, that John, instead Of
jumping out Of bed at once. when he
woke, turned over and went TO sleep
again and when he woke the second
time the sun was high, and he saw
that he had been very remiss. He
will not do so again. The best way
is to julnp out Of bed at once.

THE OTHER WORLD.
NJ HARRrEr BREcHER STOWE.

BY HARRIET BREcHER STOWE.
It lies around us like cloud
A world they do not see;
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring us there to be-
Its gentle breezes fan our cheek;
Amid our worldly cares.
Its gentle voices whisper love,
And mingle with orr prayers.
Sweet hearts around us throb and beat,
Sweet helping hands are stirred.
And palpitates the veil between
With breathing almost heard.
The awful, sweet and calm
They have no power to break;
Fer mortal words are not for them
To utter or partake.
So thin. so seft, so sweet they glide,
So near to press they seem
They seem to lull us to our rest,
And melt into our dream.
And In the hush of rest they bring
TITS easy now to see,
How lovely and how sweet pass
The hour OF death may be;
TO close the eye, and close the ear,
Wrapped in trance Of bliss,
And gently laid in loving arms,
To swoon to that-from this;
Scarce knowing il we wake or sleep.
Scarce asking whore We are;
7re feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
Sweet souls around Us watch us still,
Press nearer to our side;
Into our thoughts, into our pray ers,
With gentle helping glide.
Let death between us be as naught-
A dried and vanished stream;
Your JOY be the reality,
Our Suffering life the dream.

Post Office Regulations.
Fairfield Ledger.

In all we'll regulated communities there
is post Office, and in almost every post
office there are regulations that are more
honored in the breach than in the observ-
ance, but which are strictly honored.
Take our own post Office for instance
The place for the public is not very ex-
tensive, and perhaps is large enough if
these observances of which we speak were
not so rigidly adhered to. At noon time
at the opening of the eastern mail our
business men repair thither for their let
tiers and news; this well nigh fills the re-
ceptacle intended for the public. But
just then the schools are dismissed, and
then every mothers son and daughter be-
longing to the schools repairs with great
haste to the post Office, not to get mail
matter, but to crowd out and jostle the
crowd already there, and the post mistress
and her assistants must tell every one of
them that there is nothing for them, be-
fore she can deliver the contents Of the
boxes to their owners. And in the inter
i'm between their coming and going the ell
ders in the crowd are entertained by con-
densed witticisms, popular cat-calls, the
shrillest whistles, and other equally en-
tertaining performances. All of which
soothes the ruf1ed feelings and adds to
the christian patience of the hurried bust,
ness men who is forced to remain and en-
dure it. And while on this subject we
deem it proper to add rules for the govern
ment OF your actions at the post offices,
which will keep the officials from having
an overflow of good spirits, to-wit:
When you call for your mail, and the
postmaster hands it out, ask him if that
is all. If you ask for mail, and he tells
you there is none, tell him there ought to
be. Then go home and send all the rest
of the family around to ask at different
times through the day. Don't bring your
mail to the Office until the mail is closed,
then curse the postmaster for not open
ing the mailbag and putting your letter
in, When you want a stamp on your let
ter, tell the postmaster to put it on; if he
don't lick it, lick him. In case you put it
on yourself, soak it in your mouth long
enough to remove all the mucilege; it will
then stick until it is dry. Be sure you
ask the postmaster to credit you for the
stamp; if he has any accommodation
about him he will do it. If you have q
box, stand and thump on it until the post
master hands out your mail; it makes him
feel good, especially if he is waiting on
somebody else Be sure you ask the
post master for your mail when he is dis
tributing, and before the window is open
for delivery.

A CHILD BORN WITH A FULL SET OF
TEETH.

AS Kansas generally takes the lead in
all things, we have to chronicle this morn
ing one that will probably far eclipse any
thing that has heretofore taken place in
the country.
On last Sunday evening a young wo-
man at the "Home" gave birth to child
not an uncommon occurrence on
Monday another stranger made its ap-
pearance into this wicked world. The
last named is to be the hero of our story.
The mother of the children, who, by the
way, is fine looking young woman, but
an unfortunate" had not the slightest
idea that one of her children would be-
come the wonder of the world. After
the child had been prepared for inspec-
ton, the inmates of the institution gath
cred around to see the ''twin" and pass
comments thereon. At last one of the
woman discovered that the lips of the
child protruded far more than was usual
with new born baby, and with an excla-
nation that the baby had teeth, hastily
handed it to one of the inmates, and quit.
ted the room, being overcome with this
strange sight The rest not believing it,
called to the matron, who made an exam
ination, and found that the baby was born
with full set Of teeth, both upper and
lower. AS the attending physician had
not discovered when he left, this strange
freak Of nature; he was called back and
made another examination and pronounc-
ed it the greatest wonder he ever saw.
We do not know, but it is, suspected
that the father Of the child is dentist
and has taken this method of advertising
his work; however, we will wager an old
hat that this cannot be beat in the coun-
try, and if any person doubts the truth Of
this statement, we will furnish witnesses
who have seen the child.-Leavexworth
