Why They Often Fail.

Young men often fail to get on in this
world because they neglect small OPP
postunities. Not being faithful in little
things, they are not promoted to the
charge of greater things.
A young man who gets a subordinate
situation sometimes thinks it is not
necessary for him to give it much at
tention. He will wait till he gets
place of responsibility, and then he
will show people what he can do. This
is very great mistake Whatever his
situation may be, he should master it in
all its details, and perform all its duties
faithfully.
The habit of doing his work thor
oughly and conscientiously is what is
most likely to enable a young man to
make his way. With this habit, per-
son of only ordinary abilities would out
strip one of greater talents who is in the
habit of sighting subordinate matters.
But, after all, the mere adoption by
young man, of this great essential rule
of success, shows him to be possessed
of superior abilities.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1877-08-16
He Kept His Word.

What Horace Greeley said to Thomas
Rocker, for years the foreman of the
New York Tribune, the last time he ever
" darkened the door" of that establish
ment, is given below:
Mr.. Greeley's denial of the Crumbs
of Comfort" article had been twice
suppressed, and the old man climbed
the stairs to the. composing room to
see Rocker about it. The latter was
sitting at his desk as he heard Mr..
Greeley coming and knew the cause of
the visit. He rose as Mr.. Greeley ap-
preached him, and offering him his
hand said, Mr.. Greeley, | am very
glad to see you" Mr.. Greeley said,
Tom, how is it that that article that
ordered put under the editorial head
has been left out twice." Mr.. Rocker
then grasped the hand of Mr.. Greeley
tighter, and replied, Mr. Greeley, l
have received orders to-day positively
from the stockholders to no longer
recognize You as editor-in-chief I am
very sorry, Mr.. Greeley it was ter
rlble blow to me after such long SER
vice in the Tribune office under your
management" Mr.. Greeley, still hold
ing Mr.. Rockers hand, said, tom, is
this my reward? Goodbye, Tom I
shall never darken the door of the edi-
torial room of the Tribune again" This
was on the Sth of November, and Mr..
Greeley died two weeks later. broken
hearted man.

"Bank Closed"
Detroit Free Press.

About IL o'clock yesterday forenoon
a man walked up and down Griswold
street for few minutes, carefully scru-
tinizing the exterior of the several
banks, and finally entered one of them
and deposited $13. 1t was his very
first dealings with bank. and his hat
slaEted over trif1e more than usual
when he came out. About quarter
after II, finding that. he could deposit
two or three dollars more and still
make his purchases, the man came
down town again. The bank was
closed, according to custom, and the
usual sign of Bank Shut" hung against
the glass. AS the farmer pushed on the
door he saw the sign, and he was only
about ten seconds growing as pale as
death. As he made another attempt
to open the door boy came along and
called out:
You can't get in there-she's shut
upw
"Took my s13 in and then busted p
gasped the depositor as he backed off
and looked at the sign
" She'll open again at 2 O'clock" said
the boy as he passed along.
Il doubt it doubt it !" muttered
the man as he wiped off the perspira-
ton /" but I'll wait and see."
He sat down on the steps, knees
weak and chin trembling, and he
didn't move an inch till 2 o'clock.
When the bank opened he walked in,
presented his certificate of deposit and
said:
{" I'll be a thousand times obleeged if
you'll let me draw out S13."
1t was handed out, and the man
braced up instantaneously. Counting
the money over twice, he put the bills
in his wallet, walked out, and as he
reached the walk he said:
That's the closest escape l ever had
in my life, and / won't make fool of
myself again ~

Tabby's Curiosity Satisfied.

The Virginia New Enterprise tells
this affecting story: Charles Kaiser
who has the only hive of bees in town,
says that when he first got his swarm
his old cats curiosity was much excited
in regard to the doings of the little in
sects, the like of which she had never
before seen. At first she watched their
comings and goings at distance. She
then hattened herself upon the ground,
and crept along toward the hive, with
tail horizontal and quivering. 1t was
clearly evident that she thought the
bees some new kind of game. Finally
she took up a position at the entrance
to the hive, and when bee came in or
started out made dab at it with her
paw This went on for a time without
attracting the attention Of the inhabi-
tants of the hive. Presently, however,
old Tabby' struck and crushed bee
on the edge of the opening to the hive
The smell of the crushed bee alarmed
and enraged the whole swarm. Bees
by the score poured forth and darted
into the fur of the astonished cat Tab
by rolled herself i'll the grass, splitting,
biting, clawing and squalling as a cat
never squalled before. She appeared
mere ball of fur and bees as she rolled
and tumbled about. She was at length
hauled away with garden rake, at the
cost of several severe stings to her res
cuer Even after she had been taken to
a distant part of the grounds the bees
stuck in Tabby's fur, and about once in
two minutes she would utter an unearth-
ly yowP and bounce full yard in the
air. On coming down she would try to
scratch an ear, when sting would
cause her to turn a succession of back
somersaults and keep running fire
of squalls. Like the parrot that was
left alone with the monkey, old Tabby
had dreadful time Two or three days
after this adventure Tabby was caught
by her owner, who took her by the neck
and threw her down near the beehive
No sooner did she strike the ground than
she gave fearful squall, and at single
bound reached the top of a fence full
six feet in height. There she chung for
a moment, with tail as big as a rolling
pin, when with another bound and
squall she was out of sight, and did not
again put in an appearance for over
week"

A MANS HEAD PULLED OFF.-Yester-
day gentleman named Wilbur, just
arrived from Frio county, reported in the
Office of Moss & Bennett that Il day or
two ago, near the Frio. the body of
man, whose name we failed to learn,
was found on the prairie with the head
completely severed from the body.
Near the body was found horse, with
a rawhide lariat being attached to tho
horns of steer. This lariat, for dis
lance of three or four feet, was freshly
stained with blood, and the supposition
was that in lassoing the steer the lariat
had accidentally become twisted or
wound around the mans neck, and that
after he had caught the steer in
the rope he had been dragged about by
the steer and horse until his head had
been completely torn from the body.
The mans head had not been found
when Mr.. w. left that section.-San
antonio Express

Little Brown Hands,
Indianapolis Herald.


About twelve years ago a school oirl
Of Charlottesville published a little moan
with the above title. Charlss G. Hal
pine, Miles O'Riley,'') who was at that
time publishing the New York Cfiseu
came across it accidentally, and being
very much struck with its beauty. re,
printed it in the Citizen, with a compi-
mertary mention half a column in
length. The next week he published it
again, and devoted over a column of
his paper to calling attention to its Won
derfui beauty, pronouncing it the finest
poem ever written in America. This
was not all. The week following he
printed it again-for the third time
and gave the rare beauty of the poem.
and the fear that some reader n,i0ht
have missed seeing it, as an excuse for
doing SO. A few weeks after this. the
author of Little Brown Hands" re-
ceived from the publishers a copy of
Blackwood's Magazine, containing the
poem and quite lengthy editorial no
tice, similar in character to the one
given by Halpine. Since that time it
has been printed and read nearly all
over the civilized world, but it is not
probable that one reader in fifty thous-
and knows even the authors name. 1t
is Mary III. Krout, and she is still living
ing in Charlottesville, and is regular
contributor to the Herald. Below we
give the beautiful poem which first in
troduced her to the public:
They drive home the cows from the pasture
Up through the long shady lane.
Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat fields
That are yellow with ripenng grain.
They find. in the thick waving grasses
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry grows
They gather the earliest snowdrops
nd the first crimson buds of the rose
They toss the hay in the meadow;
They gather the elder bloom white;
They lind where the dusty grapes purple
In the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang ripest
And are sweeter THAI Italy's wines:
They know where the fruit hangs the thickesi
On the long thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the long delicate sea-weeds.
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have driftcd to land;
They wave from the tall, rocking treetops,
here the orioles hammock ncst swings
And at nighttime folded in lumber
BY song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravey are strongest;
The humble and poor become great;
And from these brown-handed children
shall grow mighty rulers of state
The pen of the author and statesman
The noble and wise f The land
The sword and chiSel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown hand.
