STARTING BoY.-A lonesome looking boy
was yesterday hanging around o wood yard in
the northern part of the city, when the own
or of the yard, having both charity and phi
lanthropy for boys with tears in their eyes,
asked the lad why be didn't peddle apples or
do something to earn a few shillings. The
boy replied that he had no capital, and the
woodward man took out nickel and
said
Now, my boy, I'm going to start you in
life. Take this nickel and go and make a
purchase of something or other. I'll buy 1t
of you for ten cents, no matter what il u.s.
Come, now, let's see what sort of a business
head you have on you.
The boy took the nickel and went off, but
in ten minutes was back with q gallon jug
which he had purchased with the nickel.
"Wel you are a keener," replied the man.
I" / never saw one of those sold for less than
fifteen cents to anyone, / want such jug,
and here's it's fair price. Go now and lay out
your fifteen cents in apples and I'll buy half
your stock"
The boy did not return. Perhaps he fell in
to a sewer somewhere /; but you can't make
the wood. yard man believe SO. When he lifE-
cd the jug from under the table whore the boy
had carefully placed it he found hole in the
bottom large enough to let in a black and tan
terrier. ~ Detroit Free Press.

POETRY.


The course of the weariest river
Ends in the great gray sea-
Tho acorn, for ever and ever.
Strives upward to the tree
The rainbow. the sky adoruing,
Shines promise through the storm;
The glimmer Of coming morning
Through midnight gloom will form.
By time all knots are given,
Complex although they be-
And peace will at last be given,
Dear, both to you and to me.
Then though the path may be dreary
Look onward to the goal;
Though the heart and the head be weary,
Let faith inspire the soul,
Seek the right though the wrong be tempting,
Speak truth at any cost,
Vain is all weak exempting
When once the gem Is lost
Let strong hand and keen eye be ready
For plain and amhushed foes;
Thought earnest and fancy steady
Bear best untothe close
The heavy clouds may be raining
But with the evening comes the light;
Through the dark are low winds complaining,
Yet the sunrise gilds the height;
And Love has his hidden treasure
For the patient and the pure
And Time gives his fullest measure
To the workers who endure;
And the Word that no lsI9 has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied
For we know that when we awaken
We shall be " satisfied"

ANIsDrAN,s GRATITUDE.
AN INCIDENT RECALLING THE MINNESOTA

| There resides in Wichita widow lady by
the name of Mrs. A. Fl. Gibson. She is Of
slight stature, and very quiet and retiring,
and with her daughter carries on the profess
sion of milliner and mantua maker in the
store of Huse & Charlton. During the late
sons Of the forest were in single file passing
along the street, Cheyenne bravo suddenly
broke ranks, and, rushing into the above es-
Establishment, put his arms about Mrs. Gibson,
patted hor with his hand, and in broken En-
glish gave expression to great joy and satis-
faction. All the ladies' in the store were, Or

The sequel is not uniuteresting Previous to
the great Indian massacre of 1862, Mrs. Glib
oon, then Mrs. Southworth, lived alone on the
Minnesota frontier. One day a squaw came,
to her house and matle her understand she
wanted soup, after obtaining which, carried
1t away in vessel to the woods For sew
eral days she came regularly on the same En-
rand. A few days before the bloody massacre,
in which so many settlements were wiped out,
and in which so many men, women and chill
dren were ruthlessly batchered, two or three
Indians with two squaws came to Mrs. Glib
| sons and asked for dinner. After the meal
one OF them told her that they must bind her
in secrecy, and they kept strict watch over
her for two weeks, after which two squaws
took her to within few miles of fort, forty
miles Distant put her down In the road and
told her when dark came to go In, which she
did, and that no harm could befal hor. or
course she GOULD only submit, and rs she was
being carried to her destination, during the
next day, saw the burning homes fleeing set

THE THISTLE CROP.

If men :" take after their mothers" which
statement, in various forms, serves as foot
note to the biographies Of numerous heroes
then something must have been very wrong
with the mothers of some boys forty or fifty
years ago. All these runaway cashiers and
company presidents, all the caught and de-
tected mill-treasurers, trustees aud managers,
all the embezzlins officials in public or private
trusts, must have been taught their eighth
in very perfunctory fashion and 1t coy-
cred their relations to the jam closet and to
other boys, it did not hardan into their con-
stitutional fibre, but was oatgrown with the
roundabout. What it is Of her ownself that
mother gives her boy that keeps him strong
through all the wild excitement and tefnpta-
tious Of latter-day business whether II ia his
inheritance or her training that leaves him
weak in the trial moment, when the margin
shrinks away from his stocks and there Is the
money Of the public, his trust, ready to his
hand--it is surely very desirable to know. An
essay read at the Women's Congress, in Prov
idence recently, "Where do we get our Char.
acters seems from its title to have been an
effort in this line of inquiry, aud there could
be no better work for the women's clubs that,
in this and many another city, gather thought
full women together for the study and research
of social questions, than on this topic of ..
Certain Tendency in Business and Political
life." 1t cannot be said that the mothers have
nothing to do with it if they get the credit
of good sons they must also take the RESPONSE
bility for weak Ones And as the shame and
burden of disgrace falls heaviest on them,
when their husbands, the sons of other wo-
men, are proved corrupt and dishonest either
in politics or business, it cannot DO at all
claimed that the matter lies beyond thcir
province to search out It is urged in expla-
nation of these numerous crashes and break
downs of the public confidence, that all bust
ness, even the honest old ones partake more
or less of the gambling spirit, by reason of the
miscellaneous which the war left, aud which
paternal Congress annually keeps up, and
that men are brought face to face now with
crisises and temptations that never used to
come to their steady going fathers. This may
help to explain the pressure but if genera
ton needs an increased amount of resistance
to overcome u moral strain, it is time to look
out for it and build it up. 1t is time also for
somebody, fathers and mothers, to train up
the young citizen that is to take his part pres
emily in ward nominations, and who may be
the buyer or be bought in the transactions of
the future. There is hardly any shrewd WIRE
puller or low-down triclster but wants bis
boy to be better man than he, and even an
upright citizen, if such can be hoped for, in
the future race. Yet we do not gather grapes
of thorns nor figs of thistles, and 1t is the
thorns and thistles that arc now being sown.

NATURAL HlsToRY.-In Small Chunks, For
Small People. This is dog.
Do you see the dog?
He looks as natural as life.
The dog is called by some, mans most
faithful servant. One or two instances have
been known where dog frightened away
thief, or bit an agent. They have also been
known to bark at the moon, and thus prevent
its falling and dashing the earth to pieces. If
it wasn't for dogs we would not know what to
do with our old tin oyster cans. You can now
ask what questions you please
elbow large is a dog?"
/" Well that depends. If he is running away
from you he looks about as large as "A gallon
jug, but if he is coming at you he looks as
large as yearling calf"
" Do dogs guard the house ?"
Yes, particularly the kitchen door. Moth
ing hurts a dog more than to have his master
think he's waiting for bones instead of being
there on guard"
" Can dog take hint"
eyes. As soon as he sees farmer coming
across the field with gun he knows that kill
ing Snebp Is OYef IOf InOrulnPy away
he goes"
" Are dogs very strong?"
"You'd think they could pull saw-log, to
judge by the amount of bowling they will do
between dusk and daybreak, but the moment
boy wants a ride on a sled the family dog is
troubled with heart disease and general weak
ness"
Can dogs find their way home from long
distances 2'
It's according to the dog If it's one you
want to get rid of, he can find his way home
from California. If its good one he's apt to
get lost If he goes around the corner"
Scan dogs see in the dark ?"
"Some appear to, but instances are not
rare where dogs, commanded to rush out and
devour the fellow hooking wood have rushed
under the bed by mistake-and staid there.
That's all about dogs.-Detroit Free Press.
