From the Boston Globe
Bobby Blinkers didn't want to 20 to
school the other day. He did not put
in his appearance at breakfast, and
about 9 O'Clock his mother went up to
see what was the matter. Bob was
writhing about the bed from an i'm
poverished stomach.ache. "All right"
said the old lady. "I'll apply mus
tard- plaster" and in few minutes
hot mustard.plaster, containing two
square feet of motive power, was
spread upon the boys abdomen
Mother, how long must this thing
stay on?'' II guess I'll be able to
take it off about this afternoon, and
then, if l can get an emetic to work,
it'll be all right. Lie still, my boy,
I'll bring you through" Then Bob
rose up Immediately and started for
school, and the plaster was the cause
of his being an hour late.

j. T. Raymond's Mania.

New York Dramatic News.
John L. Raymond is very strong as a
hatcher. He is not adverse to little
game Of poker or an occasional touch
of lansquenet, but his special alteration
is matching for money. If he can
catch friend while travelling from
place to place, he will match him day
and night. He will go off the stage
and match till he goes on next night.
He will match between the acts. lie
has now, of late invented Il system of
matching with Willie Deutsch (Flor.
ence's managerj by telegraph, and he
occupies many OF his spare moments
in this delectable occupation. When
he first struck the "Gilded Age" he
was SIS, 900 behind, all the result of
matching. He paid all this up with
his first profits, then bought his wife
Marie Gordon carriage and a pair,
and after that he went to matching
again. If he meets a friend on the
street he asks. him to take a drink, and
then wants him to match. He will 90
out with couple of hundred dollars
in his pocket in the morning, and re-
turn in the afternoon for more.
1t is a mania with him, and is said
to eat up a goodly portion of his profits.
Last fall, when in San Francisco, Ray
mond met Maurich Grau on the street
and they went together into the bar
doom of the Palace Hotel. Raymond
proposed matching. They matched
two ten-dollar pieces. Grau won.
They doubled it, Grau won. From
tens and twenties they went up to hun
dreds, a streak OF luck accompanying
Grau throughout. From hundreds
they soon got to thousands. In less
than half all hour Raymond had lost
$4,000. 1t was an honor, of course,
as neither had that amount of money.
Raymond was excited and nervous,
and proposed matching the whole $32,-
600 on one cast. Grau consented, put
down head. Raymond matched him
and won. This gave him a lesson for
a time. but he was soon at it again, in.
veterate as ever. A few days ago
Raymond met Grau opposite the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. Raymond pulled out
$50, Grau had $25, and in five minutes
the latter had lost it. BY chance he
found five-dollar bill in his pocket
and matched that; he won, and ten
minutes after had Raymond's $50 and
his own $25 safely stored back in his
pocket. That day Grau sent $40 to St.
Johns Guild. Willie Deutsch is about
81 200 ahead at present in his match.

Goodwill should begin at home.
How quickly you can tell what sort of
spirit reigns among the boys or in the
families you visit! In some houses
there is constant warfare; at any time
OF day, you hear loud voices and angry
disputes.
"You snatched my apple and eat it

''Touch that trap ag'in. Tom Orcutt,

sisters. A mean and cruel boy de.
lights in tyrannizing over smaller
children: but in the presence Of
stronger boys, he can be civil, and
even crirging. A cowardly fellow
like that is pretty sure to exercise his
ill-nature upon the girls at home.
Now, I know that many of the boys

will than they ever show. Their dis.
agreeable ways are the result of long
habit and want of thought. The spoiled
children are pretty sure to form such
ways. He is accustomed to think only
of himself, and to have others think
chiefly of him. That is the trouble,
suspect, with Orson. Will he, when
he reads this, resolve to break up the
old habit, and cultivate the better
spirit that is in him!
By goodwill I do not mean simply
good.nature. Good-nature may sit
still and grin. But good-willis is active,
earnest, cheering, helpful.
All, my boys, have told you many
st0ries.-and I have no doubt some
of you wish had made this a story
instead of talk. But the real motive
of all my stories-the lesson I have
always wished to teach in them, but
which am afraid some of you have
overlooked-has been this which I
am trying to impress upon YOU now.

there was any foundation for it. He
