Making Choice
From the Galveston News.

A gentleman living up the bag
says that negro man, his wife,
and four children were forced to
take tree to save themselves
during the late storm. The tree
swayed to and fro with the vio-
Ience of the wind, and threatened
to fall with its heavy burden
The old couple cObcludrd that
some one must be sacrificed to save
the rest. After Il consultation
the old woman said she wls nos
prepared to die, and urged the
old d-inan to drop !imselfinto eter-
nifty Bat he, toe, wasn't ready.
and the matter was compromised
by launching the two youngest
children into the surging waters.
A few hours after they were res
cued, and the old negro told the
story bimsell to those who saved
him.

How He Lost His Hat.
From The Burlington llaWkevc.

From The Burlington lawkeye.
\ citizen of this burg is in mis-
cry about his bat. The other day
he huag it on a hook inst back Of
a closet door which opens back a.
aainst the hook. His wife bad
occasion to rummage around in
the closet after he hung up his
hat. As often IS she pushed that
door back. just as citen would it
fly shut, leaving her alone with
tn darkness. Fexcd at last with
the persistent contraliness Of the
thIeg, she threw her weight a.
gainstit and was rewarded by see
ing the door 90 clear back and re-
main back, Just as she wanted it.
But when the husband, Il day or
two later, went to that hook for
his hat, what Il sight it was, to be
sure Flntter than a drink Of ice
water on Christmas morning, more
wrinkles in it than in q wash,
board, and as fan removed from
any hope Of future usefulness as a
Keoknk bank. His wife bought
a hat rack the next day. and now
when he goes into the house she
meets him in the hall and points
out to him the folly of going up
two flights of stairs and hanging
bis hat behind a door in the attic.

The Reapers.

The reapers bend their dusty backs;
The sounding sickleS sway;
AT every stgoke the golden sea
RecedeS to give them way;
The heavy ears fall bowling down.
And nestle at their feet,
Such Will, such work as theirs pcrfcrce
Must win much homage meet.
SO careless Of fatigue they go,
50 true. so steadily,
The admiring trayel.r on the road
Leans DER the gate to see;
With marvel of TIE soon-fiIlcn breadth
The lOunging so@Sips tell;
But the rcapCrS tabor for us all;
lis need they should work well.
Ere the great sun that burns above
Shall crimson IN the west,
And the childrens' poppy nosegays fade,
And they lie down to rest
Each golden Sp ar that upward points
Shall fall upon the field,
And the farmer drain asparkljng glass,
Rejoicing Ger the yield
Ply, bonny mer, ycur si.kles bright,
And give the people bread
At every cOnqueriug stride you take,
On want and woe you tread.
Drop, heavy ears, and give the strength
You gathered rom this plain,
That man may rise refreshed and firm,
And do great things again.
God bless the hands, all hard and brown,
That guide the cleaving plow,
That cast abroad the shining seed,
And build the wealthy NOW
They rear the bread our children eat
'Tis by their toll we live;
HurTah give them the loudest cheer
That grateiul hear can give.

The Colonel's Letter.

were but poorly looked after be
fore the days OF the Pacific rail
road, but the few post-offices were
highly priced by miners and trad
ers, enabling them to hear from
civilization at least once or twice
per year.
We had built up quite a little
town about twenty miles from Den
yer, and it was decided to estab
lish a post office in a saloon and
hire some one to bring and carry
a semi weekly mail. We made
no application to the government
fnr a post Office, but we were GO
ing into this arrangement merely
for our own accommodation. Oul
letters coming from the Stateswere
addressed to Denver, and those
we sent from "Paradise" bore the
Denver post-mark.
We made up a list Of those who
would pay fifty cents weekly, col
lected the first installment and
hired a halt breed to act as mail.
carrier. Everything worked all
right, and Paradise" would have
beeH happy but for giant miner
called Colonel Pick" He was
down for fifty cents per week with
the rest OF US; and when the first
mail came in he called and de-
manded letter.
None here for you, Colonel, V
answered the man who assured
the duties of postmaster.
The colonel went away growl-
ing, and was on hand next mid
day. Several letters were receiv-
ed and distributed, and when in-
formed that there was no letter
for him be exclaimed:
Didn't l pay fifty cents with
the rest? Haven't | as much right
to gita letter as any cf 'em?"
The p s:master endeayored to
explaiD to him, but the colonel
kicked an empty whiskey barrel
across the room and went back to
his log shanty on the bill side
The third mail came in and he
was on hand, two revolvers in
his belt and large bowie knife
run down behind bis coat collar.
AIRY letter for Colonel Pick"
he inquired Of the postmaster.
mo, colonel-nothing for you"
answered the man.

shouted the colonel. I've paid
my money and | want a letter.
But there's none for you re

Don't talk to mt!' roared the
colonel. "Isn't this 4 post-of1ice?

"Well, what's a post office fur?'
ITO receive and distribute
mall
"Yes, and where's my mail?
What'd | pay fur if | hain't goin'
to git any letters?''
The postmaster was trying to
explain, when the colonel took up
the whole mail in his paw and
walked off, saying that no crowd
OF men could humhug him. He
wouldn't give,,the letters up, bnt
he had some gord traits about him.
