"1ntinitely," said Barry.
And with that he threw away his eve
glasses, gave up all thoughts of astonish-
ing the world, and went to work in his
fathers old office for the moderate COM
pensation of twenty five dollars a week
1t is to be presumed that book keeping was
not altogether to his taste, but nobody
ever heard him grumble; and he applied
himself so diligently to his work that Tom
Finch declared from the first that without
Barry he should have made miserable
failure of the SUPPLEMENTARY. As it was
he made a complete success. The Bar
borough iron works weathered the storm,
and found smooth waters ahead
Bending over his books, Barry Munson
recalled often that memorable afternoon
when he and Bessie walked side by side
under the overarching elms. He. saw her
but rarely now. The sudden changes which
a year had wrought, the sorrow and re-
sponsiblity which had come to him since
that October day, had driven thoughts of
self from his mind. Yet ever in his ears
rang those words, 81 would have you be-
come anything to show yourself man,
What triumphs could he hope to achieve in
the narrow confines of that office? What
chance for herosm over those musty bookso
What hope for fame, adding long columns
Of figures? What noble aim in life, beyond
caring for his dependent mother?
Something of all this he said to her in
the twilight of another Autumn day, walk
ing again beneath the scarborough elms
And she, turning her truthful eyes upon
him. made answer, saying:
Barry, you have shown yourself a hero
lou have won my respect"
:" have nothing to offer you now, Bes-
sic, but my love-" he added, quietly.
"And if you had all the world to offer
me" said she, '' l would prize only that
which now you give"
And thus it came to pass that Barry
Munson, the book keeper. welded the girl
whom Barry Munson, the declaimer on
Platonic philosophy, wooed in vain.

Legislation where the personal comforts
OF statesmen have been satisfied, and the
expense charged to "fuel" or station

the very first session OF the First conti-
mental Congress. While that Congress
was in session, Delegate Harrison ofVir-
Einis, desiring to "take something"
went with friend to a certain place
where supplies we're furnished Congress.
and ordered two glasses of brandy and
water. The man in charge hesitated,
and replied that liquor, were not included

INvETERATB BETTERs An enormous
bore is the fellow who is always wanting
to bet" He will bet anythlng-from
his "bottom dollar" down to his "life. :"
He will bet on either side, both sides, and
is only abashed when somebody happens
20 take him up. The mania for betting
with which some persons are cursed is
humerously illustrated in Toby Candor's
letter from San Francisco TO the Boston
Journal. He says:
Californians have an inherent, inordi-
nate desire for betting. 1t amounts al
most to mania.
"Ill bet you ten dollars that maa's
name is Sneider," said one Californian to
another, as a man who was an utter stran
ger to beth, passed by.
"Its CO." said his companion.
Inquiry was made, and the wager lost
by the man who proposed it.
Up in one of the mountain towns
stage coach tipped over, and it is related,
as the passengers went tumbing down a
rocky embankment into gulch, fellow
shouted:

The bet was taken, but the casualties
we're not fatal.
A doctor reported that a wsll-known

"I'll bet five dollars that he WILL" said
one of his friends.
The wager was accepted, and the stakes
were scarcely put up when the report
came that the man was dead

who won.

ten dollars that he isn't dead"
The bet was taken, and about that time
the doctor reappeared.

tion was asked.
"Yes, dead As Julius Caesar"
Then I've lost again" was the reply.

IN 1851, Joseph Medll, the veteran ed
itor of the Chicago Tribune, wrote to
Horace Greeley from his then home in
Cleveland, Ohio, inquiring whether there
might be chance for him to secure po-
sition upon the editorial staff of the New
York Tribune. The reply was decided
negative, coupled with that original and
memorable advice, "Go West, young
man Go West" This is the real ori-
gin of that now famous and historical eY.
preston, and. naturally enough, M
Medill preserves the letter with especial
care. He did go West, built up the Chi
cago Tribune, and has acquired material
wealth as well as journalistic honors.
