The "Candy stew.D

remember hearing female servant
blown up by her master after one of these
orgies, and though somewhat blunted
against the laughable side of the negro
character by daily contact with them, her
answer struck me as 80 ludicrous that I
noted it down at the time, and reproduce
it ver6aiw. The excuse was that she was
late in the morning because che had had
her dress torn of in a "big fuss" that had
terminated the evenings enjoyment:
"I was at brother Manse's, at candy
stew, and thar was heap of folk thar,
and Jim Thompson wur thar, him as

mountain; I speclked he just come to
raise a fuss, and when we was about half
through he began to sorter poster Manse,
and brother Manse he got nightly put

brother Manse, which made him so mad,
and he up an fotched an ole pistol that
he bought from Uncle Charles, and snap.

she'd no sooner gota good grip of him

Married Experience.

I married my wife about thirty-6ve
years age. The ceremony was perform
ed about z o'clock in the morning. Be-
fore retiring that evening We had talk
with each other, and the result has sweet
ened our entire lives. We agreed with
each other that each should be watchful,
careful, never by act or word, 70 hurt the
feelings of the other. We were both
young, both hot-tempered, both positive
in our likes snd dislikes, and both some
what. exacting and infexible-just the
material for life of conjugal warfare.
Well, for few years We found it hard
work to always live by our agreement.
Occasionally mot often) word or look
would sfipof the tongue or face before it
could De canghtor suppressed; we never
allowed tie sun to go down OF wrath.
Before retiring at ,.:sht on such oc-
casions, there was always confession and
forgiveness, and the :ulprit would become
more careful in the future. Our tempers
and dispositions became &, adually more
and more congenial; so THAI after few
years We became one in reality, as the
marital ceremony had pronounced Us enc
nonainally. In thinking back, we find
that for more than twenty years our little
agreement has been unbrcken, and there
has been no occasion for confession or
forgiveness. In business we have had
our advenity and prosperity and success.
We have raissda family: of children, and
now have our grandchildren about US /;
we are simple enough to believe that we
have better children because of our little
agreement Under such q contract, re-
ligiously kept, no ill-natured children
will be reared, and no boys will find the
streets and bar-roons more pleasant than
home. To make good wife or q good
husband requires the cooperation of both.

DAVID NAVARRO, THE FAT Boy
The Rochester Union thus describes
this overgrown American youth: "He
was born in Rochelle, ILL.,, seventeen
years ago. At the time of his birth he
weighed but eight pounds, and continued
to be a small child until he was six years
old, when all of sudden he began to
grow, and at seven he weighed eighty
pounds. On his eighth birthday he
weighed 1l2 pounds, and continued grad
ually to increase, till on his eleventh
birthday he weighed PIP pounds. The
next year be increased in weight to the
tune of 255 pounds, and weighed when
twelve years old he was found to kick
the beam at 325 pounds. In his thir-
teenth year he suffered severely from
typhoid fever, which reduced him some
what in flesh but on recovering from
this disease he soon regained what he
had lost and made up time at rapid rate,
and on his last and seventeenth birthday
he weighed 635 pounds. This was last
winter, and it is probable, judging. from
past experience, that this avoirdupois
has increased slightly since then. His
health is perfectly good as a general
thing, and his flesh, instead of being hab-
by, is quite solid to the touch, his arm,
which measures twenty-four inches round
the biceps, being like bar of iron. His
apparently sole complaint is that the
doors of the houses are too small for him.

KNEW IT OF CoURsE.-A Detroit
grocer, who has 8 little time to study
human nature, and who'd save money
if he only had little more time, wrote
q note to several parties selected for the
occasion to the effect that he had lost his
account books and must depend upon
their honor to call and give in the bal
ance against them. One of them re-
piled that he presumed he owed three or
four dollars, when tie books showed that
he owed S2S; another thought g pos
sible balance against aim, though he had
been very careful to pay cash down, and
yet his account was S14 and over. Out
of twelve or fourteen customers, the gro
Ger found one who replied that he owed
So 80, being fifty cents too much. He
then wrote to each that he had found his
books, and sent statement of account,
and as they dropped into the store one
at q time, each laughed, shook hands, and
remarked: 81 knew it was one of your
jokes, of course, and so I though I'd
give you q chance to play it through"

Every day we have evidence that
the small boy has no soul. The other

the ever present small boy yelled, ITS
no use, mister; yer old horse amt stout

What to Teach the Boys.

A philosopher has said that true edu-
cation for boys is to "teach them what
they ought to know when they become
men,"
What is it they ought to know then :?
l. To be true-to be genuine. No ed
ucstion is worth anything that does not
include this. A man had better not
know how to read he had better never
learn letter in the alphabet, and be true
and genuine in intention and in action,
rather than, being learned in all sciences
and in all languages, to be at the same
time false in heart and counterfeit in life.
Above all things teach the boys that
truth is more than riches; more than
culture; more than any earthly power or
position.
2. To be pure in thought, language
and life-pure in mind and in body.
An impure man, young or old, is plague
spot, leper, who ought to be treated as
were the lepers of old, who were BAN
ished from society.
8. To be unselfsh. To care for the
feelings and comfort of others. To be
polite. To be just in all dealings with
Others. To be generous, noble and man
ly. This will include genuine rever-
ence for the aged and things sacred.
4. To be self-reliant and self-helpful,
even from early childhood. To be in
dustricus always, and self.supporting at
the earliest proper age. Teach them that
all honest work is honorable, and thatan
idle, useless life of dependence on others
is disgraceful.
When boy has learned these four
things; when he has made these ideas a
part of his being, however young he may
be, however poor, or however rich, he
has learned some of the most important
he ought to know when he becomes
man. With these four properly mas
tered, it will be easy to find all the rest.

GRANDPA,s sOLIL0QUY.

II wasn't so when was young,
We used plain language then;
We didn't speak Of "them galoots,"
When meaning boys and men.
When speaking Of the nice hand.write
Of Joe. or Tom, or Bill,
We did it plain-we didn't say
"He slings nasty quill"
Then when we met good old friend,
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him-but didn't say,
"Hello, you old sardine."
The boys got mad sometimes and fit;
We spoke of kicks and blows;
But now they "whack him on the snoot,
And "paste him on the nose"
Once, when youth was turned away
From her he held most dear,
He walked off on his feet-but now
he 'crawls off on his ear"
We used to dance when was young,
And used to call il so;
But now they don't-they only "sling
The light fantastic toe"
Of death we spoke in language plain,
That NO one did perple1,
But in these days one doesn't die
BE passes in his checks"
We praised man Of common sense;
"His judgments good" we said;
But now they say, "Well, that old plum
Has got level head"
It's rather sad the children row
Are learning all such talk;
Th o1yix,a al - Gto6,n1J % ~
And "waltz" instead Of walk.
To little Harry yesterday
My grandchild, aged two
said. "You love grandpa?" Eaid he:
you bet your boots do"
The children bowed to strangers once,
1t is no longer So
The little girls, as well as boys,
Now greet you with "hellop'
Oh! give me back the good old days
When both the old and young
Conversed in plain, old. fashioned ways,
Ard slang was never slung.

"What do you raise your hat to that

no true gentleman will be less polite to

hawks vegetables through the city, in

n SILVER HALF-DoLLAR's RETURN.

n SILVER HALF-DoLLAR's RETURN.
Some twenty-five years ago David P.
Texter, residing on the Massillon road,
had in his possession silver half-dol-
lar made in the year 1928, and that be-
ing his natal year he cut his name on it
and thought he would retain it as relic.
After several years, however, he paid it
out one day by mistake, along with
other money. and Tor twenty years it took
its course. Last Saturday he sent his
little daughter to Massillion on an errand,
and upon her return home she gave him
some change, and with it was the identi-
cal half-dollar with his name cut on it.

SMILE WHENEVER y0U CAN.

When things don't go to suit you.
And the world seeras upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting,
But drive away that frown;
Since life is oft perplexing,
IT'S much the wisest plan
To bear all trials bravely,
And smile whene'er you can.
Why should you dread tomorrow
And thus despoil to-day?
For when you borrow trouble,
You always have to pay.
It is good old maxim,
Which should be often preached
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge Is reached.

and wrenching loose his right hand, drew a
keen, freshly-Sharpened butcher knife that
he had concealed on his person, and reach
