"What do you raise your hat to that

Charley Gray. Hes only Giles, the
huckster."
"That makes no difference" said
Harry. "rhe question is not whether

incredible, but the owner has the eggs

such an unheard of change. be account-

what's to become of us when turkey
gobblers turn against their own sex in
this way and settle down into lying
hens? Oh, it is awful"
The above has been going the rounds
of the Press for sometime. while the
editor of the Medium has perhaps
set back in his easy chair laughing fit to
strangle himself at the foolish credulity
of his brother "qnill drivers. If the

An Old Mans Dream.

Toiling along with weary step in the
hot sun, an old man found shade and
sat down to rest under tree which
some kind hand had planted long years
before. Some children watched him
from across the street, wondering if he
had no one 0lean on and no home to
go to.
The wind whispered so softly through
the branches over head, and the shade
Was so cool and refreshing that the old
mau slept. He dreamed that he had
home again, and children played before
the door. He returned from his days
work as of yore, and little faces were at
the gate to be kissed. and little voices
cried out in elee. Around his table
were wife and sons, and he sat with
them on the poarch as the sun went
down, and had heart big with thanks
giving. Then his dream changed. He
again seEt his sons to the war, never
to see them again. aud he once more
stood beside the coffin of his wife and
felt that earth had DO more happiness
for him. In his dream he saw strangers
III his home, strange children at the
gate. and be beheld himself old and
poor and forsaken. His tears fell, and
when he awoke he was cryiag out in the
bitterness of his heart:
II had better be dead, for no one
soul on earth cares for met
He looked down and there was food
at his feet. The ragged old hat which
he had laid asid, had been replaced by
o letter one, and inside it was cbild's
handkerchief and three or four pennies.
Hidden behind the fence across the
way the children noted his amazement
and laughed softly. and he looked mp
and down and failed to- find them. He
gathered up the things with glad
smile, and as he rose to go he said:
II know not who it was, but al old
man gives them his blessing"
The children watched him as he
moved away with brighter step, and as
he wiped tear.
How little it was, yet how much
nearer Heaven he felt for it!

Peters mother died. After that he
was sent to his grandmother's, for he

his aunt could not manage him With the
other children. His grandmother dealt
kindly aud patiently with him, and
helped him to improve. Peter now hfd
a new mother and his father had sent
for him to come homo. But he did not

Then he knew he should love his new

best "small change" in the world. Keep
your pockets full of it, aud you will

To Make q Place Prosperous.

There can hardly be- greater sign OF
prosperity in community than dis
position to assist one another lift q lit
tie when neighbors wheel gets stuck
in the mud. We know OF a place where
a mans barn. with all his winter store
of grain and hay was consumed by fire
in the night. Immediately all Of the
men of the country side mustered and
hauled up timber for a new barn, and
then big raising came of. After that
cue sound Of twenty hammers was
heard until the whole was shingled and
sided. But their deeds of kindness was
not done yet; and after another they Of.
fered to take head or twolof his stock
and winter them for him, thus greatly
reducing his loss and assuring his heart
of the more durable riches of brosherly
love and neighborly good will. None
can compute in money the value of one
such example of liberty in the commu-
nifty, especially iu its influence on the
young. And when this spirit
prevails there is sure to progress in
place, even il all the improvements are
in their infancy. People will come and
settle in place that bears such
name. Now, If you desire to see your
place growing in popularity, do all you
can to show yourself good neighbor,
especially to those who need little ex
ira help. If man starts tin shop in
your place don't harness up and drive
off five miles to buy your pans and get
your horse shod. just because you have
been in the habit OF doing it. Patrou-
ize the new corner when you want any
thing in his line. Speak encouragely
to HIM and we'll of him to your neigh>
bors. Little words of approval or cen-
sure go long way; when once you have
spoken thom you cannot recall them.
Help the sick especially when they are
poor, for poverty and illness are indeed
heavy burden. Perform all acts of low
ing charity which fall day by day in
your path, remembering, who it is

A Prince in the Kitchen.

They are telling good story in court

Chief of the Russian college for girls.
At the Smoling convent. which is un-
der his jurisdiction. eight hundred girls
are educated, and he had received an

plains about the food, which was pros
nounced execrable. II will see to this
myself" said the Prince, and one day,
a few minutes before the dinner hour.
he presented himself at the end OF the
passage leading from the kitchen to the
dining salon. Here he me two soldiers
carrying a caldron steaming hot.
"Halti" The men obeyed. "Put dov n
that kettle" The kettle was at once
deposited on the floor. Fetch q
spoon" Here Russian discipline
wavered. One of the men had the au-
dacity to begin protest. ''S'death!"
exclaimed the Prince: "hold your
tongue-fetoh me spoon" But.
stammered the soldier Another word
aud 1 place you under arrest" The
spoon WAS brought. The prince dipped
it into the caldron and swallowed a
quantity of the liquid. IT thought

Sunset ON the yllssisslppi.
o beautiful hills in the purple light,
That's hadow the Western sky,
l dream Of you Of, in the silent night,
As the golden days 60 by.
The river that Aows at my longing fee.
Is tinged with crimson glow;
But the song that it sings is as sad to-day
As it was in the long ago.
The far-off clouds in the far-off sky
Are tinted with gold and red;
But the lesson they tell to the hearts Of
L. lesson that never il said.
The star-crowned night in her sable
IL yelling the Eastern sky,
And she trails her robes in the d, ing fires
That far In the West do he.
A single gem IRON her cirelet old
Il lost as she wanders by,
And the beautiful star with its golden light
ShiLes out in the lonely sky.
o beautiful star in the misty sky,
NV soul would take wings with thee;
But yon sail away in your golden seas
With never thought for ne.
o sun crowned hills in the purple light,
l could sit at your feet forever;
Rut you fade away in the shadowy nigh
And III see you again, ah, never.
Dark river that flows at my longin; feet
list to your music low
Bu. the song that you sing brings mt
throughts tonight
OF the beautiful long ago;
And my soul grows SAD as | think Of The
day
That radiant day Of light
When the sun went down in glory oI
gold
Meath the pililess shadows Of night.
Farewell, ye hills in the purple light.
Farewell to your glory forever.
You fade away in the silent night,
And I'll see you again, ah, neyerl
