She'll whip him. Shame, Miker'
1t seemed impossible for me to whip
him; but knew must keep my word.
Taking the ruler | went toward the
boy, the tears running down my cheeks.
Mike saw them. Without a word he
held out his right hand. | gave him
three unwilling but firm blows, then
motioned him to go to his seat. Sew
eral of the children were crying; but
Mike himself showed no signs of tears
Feeling strangely sick and tired, | told
the children to lay aside their books,
and dismissed the school for that after
noon.

self because | had struck child l

almost sick. On that day resolved to
abandon school teaching, unless l
could find some way to make children
sorry without whipping them. And /
Arrays did find that ray!
One evening, two weeks later, when
at home, was told that Mrs. Kellehan.
Mikes mother, wished to see me. Sup

ing bad-tempered woman, | would

She was large woman. She rose,
and coming toward me as | entered the
room, said in loud voice:

the way We bate him, is it, and not

Mrs. kellehan had only come to

A Strange HallucinatiOn.

A woman named Delehanty, residing
on Canal street, whose husband has
been sick for long time, walked into
police headquarters this afternoon, ac-
companied by her little daughter, and
addressed Chief Maloy as follows:
Chief, | have come to give myself
up" "What do you want to give
yourself up forP' inquired the Chief.
1--WE murdered my two little children,
boy and a girl, and, Chief, | cannot
stand it any longer. must give my
self mp" The little girl burst into tears,
and, clinging to her mother, said:
"Why, no; you didn't kill us; amt |
here, mamma?' Then, turning to the
Chief, the little one begged him not to
believe her mothers story, as she had
killed no one. Il tell you did, Chief"
said the mother; "they came into the
woodshed while l was washing, and |
killed them" "You did not" said the
Chief, rather sternly; "there's your
little girl now" That's not my little
girl, that's her ghost" persisted the
mother; 81 did kill them" 1t being
evident that she was insane, the Chief
ordered her to be detained at the Sec,
ond Precinct until her relatives could
be communicated with. Her mania is
supposed to be caused by starvation

Abby Smith.

Abby Hadassa Smith, one of the famous
smith sisters" died in Glastonbury,
Conn., recently, at the ripe age of eighty
one years. She was one of five sisters,
the others, Nancy. Zephina, Cyrinthea
Lucretia, Laurilla Aleroya, Julia
Evelina. Julia is the only one now liv-
ing, 6 Her father" the Hartford Post
says, was native of Glastonbury and
graduate of Yale, and was Congrega-
tlonal clergyman, and settled in the
western part of Connecticut, but after
ward left the ministry for the law in
consequence of change in his theolog-
zeal opinions. Her mother was lady
OF uncommon literary attainmentS,
speaking French and reading Italian.
She was also an astronomer. Several
years after his marriage the father
moved to Glastonbury, his native place,
and bought the farm on which the sis
tiers have lived. The cause of Miss
Smiths death is given as old age. She
has been sick since June l. An account
OF her life and character must necesSa-
rily be inadequate to convey to those
who did not know her justconception
of her. For, in spite of the widespread
notice she has received, but few had
any acquaintance with her real life
Julia is an accomplished linguist, and
scholarly in her tastes. Abby was not
linguist nor particularly scholarly,
but she was very intelligent, and thor
Oughly interested in all the worlds af-
| fairs. Her particular passion is said to
have been her garden and her flowers,
and she was always eager to learn all
she could about a plant new to her, and
the best methods of its cultivation. She
was self-reliant and energetic, and
much depended upon by her sister Julia.
In this connection it is stated that when
the TWO sisters were in Washington last
winter to further the cause of woman
suffrage, and while the ladies were
gathering around Julia congratulating
her upon the bravery she had shown,
Mrs. Hooker remarked, in a low voice
to julia: You will never pay another
tax, will you?' She replied: If Abby
should die [ am afraid my courage
would all be gone OF late years the
faces of Abby and Julia Smith have
been familiar in every gathering where
woman suffrage was the topic of discus
sion, and before the agitation on this
subject they were active together in
anti-slavery and temperance work,
Perhaps the most notable feature in the
life of Abby Smith has been her resist
ance to the payment of the taxes as
sessed upon her and her sister, and
which they have declined to pay on the
ground OF misrepresentation. And
while this course to some has seemed
futile, it has been considered by Abby
and Julia Smith and many Of their
friends a service like that Hampden
rendered in resisting the payment of an
unjust tax. Since the death of the other
sisters Abby and Julia have lived alone
at the old homestead, doing their own
work, tenderly cared for by the family
OF Mr.. Kellogg, their tenant and friend.

Mark Twain tells the following story,
related by fellow-passenger, who,
bantered about his timidity, said he had
never been scared since he had loaded
an old Queen Anne musket for his
father once, whereupon he gave the
following:
You see, the old man was trying to
learn me to shoot blackbrds and beasts
that tore up the young corn and such
things, so that | could be of some use
about the farm, because | wasn't BIG
enough to do much. My gun was Il
single-barreled shotgun, and the old
man carried an old Queen Anne mus
ket that weighed a ton, made a report
like a thunder clap and kicked like
mule. The old man wanted me to
shoot the old musket sometime, but |
was afraid. One day, though, | got
her down and took her to the hired
man and asked him to load her up, be-
cause it was out in the field. Hiram
said:
do you see those marks on the
stock-an X and V, on each side of the
Queens crown? Well, that means ten
balls and five slugs- that's her Load
q" But how much POWDER"
"Oh," he says, ''itdon't matter; put
in three or four handfuls.n
SO | loaded her up that way, and it
was an awful CHARGE had sense
enough to see that-and started out. |
leveled her on good many black birds,
but every time | went to pull the trig
ger | shut my eyes and winked. | was
afraid of her kick Toward sunset |
fetched up to the house, and there was
the old man waiting on the porch.
Been out hunting, have YEP"
eyes sir" says |.
"What did you kill?"
didn't kill anything, sir-didn't
shoot her off; was afraid she'd kick-I
knew blamed well she would"
"Gimme that gunn' the old man
said as mad as sin.
And he took aim at a sapling on the
other side of the road, and | began to
drop back out of danger, and the next
moment l heard the earthquake and
saw the Queen Anne whirling end over
end in the air, and the old man spin
ming around on one heel, with one leg
up and both hands on his jaw, and the
bark flying from that old sapling like
there was hail storm. The old man S
shoulder was set back three inches, his
Jaw turned black and blue, and he had
to lay up for week. Cholera or moth
ing else can scare me the way | was

THE ordinary human heart wants
happiness above all things, but the or
binary human head knows not how to
obtain it. Generally wealth is sup
posed to be the power that produces it,
and so mind and muscle are devoted to
the accumulation of riches. Every
thing that looks like hindrance is re-
moved. All generous impulses are
held in check and told to keep quiet,
and a selfshncss that is as bleak and
forbidding as Sahara rules the rudder
and commands the deck. "Get all you
can" is the order that is issued every
morning, and d" Keep all you get" is
the evening eXhortation. Of course
when one sails by these instructions he
invariably becomes rich, but nine times
out of ten the voyage ruins him. Self
ishness, if not Satan himself, is his
first born and largest sized son, and the
human heart shrivels at its touch.
Real happiness-happiness that will
retain its color under the washing and
wringing of adversely, has never yet
been bought by gold or silver. 1t is the
child of contentment and goodness, and
these moods of mind or condition Of
heart, unlike gold, are not to be hunted
for in the tortuOus trails of sharp prac-
tice, or dug out of the depths of dis
honesty, but they may be obtained by
any and by all for an honest, earnest
asking, without money and without
price.

A recent account of the discovery of
a floating japanese junk, with dead
crew, has impelled Il correspondent of
the Hartford COurant to write: "a
similar incident occurred about forty
years ago. In the summer of 1889 an
American whaler, cruising in the Vi
entity of the Sandwich Islands, fell in
with a japanese junk loaded with grain.
The crew were all dead. In the peck
cts of one of them were found Il few
japanese coins. The whaler put into
Honolulu, in which port the bark Flora,
Capt. John H. Spring, brother of the
late Rev. DR.. Spring, of East Hartford,
was then lying. Capt. Spring became
the possessor of these coins, and on his
return to New York city, early in 1910,
gave one of them to the writer, who
has it yet in his possession. Others
found their way into the United States
Mint at Philadelphia, where they may
still be seen on exhibition in one of the
show cases. These were the first
japanese coins ever brought to this
country.

" Robert" she cried, suddenly, g 'ou
said you loved me. If it is true, why
should you not tell me so? What keeps
us apartPn
His face was pale with the pain at
his heart The time had come when he
must speak.
"Fll tell you what keeps us apart,
he answered. " You belong to sphere
of life so much above mine that love
cannot bridge over the distance between

Robert" she cried, her whole face
aglow, 90 is that the reason why you
have kept silent? Because have lived

in place of the old one. l. but
she stopped in sudden, sweet confu-
sion.
