About three weeks ago a San Anto-
nia father promised his ten-year old boy
a dollar if he would learn by heart a
chapter n the Bible. This morning the
boy asked for the dollar, as he had
learned the chapter, and the old gentle
man gave it to him, not without a sus-
picion, however, that the coming circus
had something to do with his sudden
industry in learning the chapter. So
he inquired
81 hope, Johnny, you don't intend
to spend that dollar in going to that
wicked CIRCUS. Yon are going to put
it III the plate on Sunday for mi sionary
purposes, amt you, sonny 90
The boy burst into tears, and said
huskily: why, Pa, you didn't think
I'd spend money to so to circus :''
Whereupon there was tableau like
little George Washington and his
hatchet The old man cried out. "My
noble boy" and wrapped his arms
several times around Johnny, who
blubbered like he had not friend left.
About ten minutes afterward, while
on his way to see dog fight, in the
company OF another boy, Johnny men,
toned the occurrence, and said "You
can just bet your boots Pm not the
hairpir to pay a dollar to get into the
circus when | can crawl under the can
vass, nor will the heather ever get that
dollar | learned psalms for, unless he
can beat me playing euehre for it.''
That boy will he sent to the legisla-
ture yet unless his parents are careful.

Irreverence in the presence of death
is trait of only low and trifiing minds.
That the reckless impiety of the talent
ed and brilliant sometimes shows it,
makes it none the less base and repul-
sive. The truly noble are always sub
dned and touched by the sight of the
sable hearse and its coffined tenant.
The French salute passing funeral
with the most marked respect. Russia
pays greater honors, as when funeral
passes before military post, the sol
diers turn out and present arms, as if
the richest OF boyards was in question.
On this subject there is story told
OF the late Gar Nicholas. One day
his carriage overlook hearse, and he
was surprised to observe that it was not
followed by a single mourner, not even
2 dog. The Emperor decended from
his orosli, and took up his position be-
hind the hearse. Being noticed, one
citizen followed suit then twenty. then
hundreds. Seeing the cortepe to be at
least respectable, the Car re-entered
his vehicle, and returned to the palace.
