MOTHER NEvER TOLD LrE.-Some time
ago boy was discovered in the street, evil
deutly bright and intelligent, but sick. A
man who had feelings Of kindness strongly
developed, went to ask him what he was do
ing there. "Waiting for God to come for
me" he said. "What do you mean ?" said
the gentleman, touched by The pathetic tone
Of the answer and the condition of the boy,
in whose bright eye and flushed face he saw
the evidence Of fever. "God sent for father,
and little brother" said he, "and took them
up to His home in the sky, and mother told
mo when she was sick that God would take
care of me. have nobody to give ME any
thing, and so came out here, and have been
looking 80 long in the sky for God to come
and take care of me, rs mother said he would.
He will come-wont he? Mother never told
a lie" "Yes, my lad" said the gentleman,
overcome with emotion. "He has sent me to
take care of you" You should have seen his
eyes fash, and the smile of triumph break
over his face as he said: "Mother never told
lie, sir; but you have been so ong on the
way" What lesson of trust, and how this
incident shows the effect Of never deceiving
children with idle tales.

A MURDERoUs ARM.-Dr. Gatlng, nven-
tor of the famous gun, has just perfected
another instrument of war that is said to be
most complete in its deadly properties. 1t is
capable of firing 1000 shots in a minute, and
by the use of the instrument three men can
do the work of 800 rihemen. 1t is capable
of killing man or horse a mile away. 1t is
somewhat in the form of the present Gatling
gun, but more complete, and may be taken to
pieces at will and therefore can easily be
moved about. About $4,000 were spent in
experimenting on it.

WHAT WE LIKE TO Sea man worth
$50, 900 who says he is too poor to even take
the local paper.
A man refuse to take his local paper, and all
the time sponge on his neighbor the reading
of it.
A man run down his local paper as not
worth taking, and every now and then beg the
editor for a favor in the editorial line.
A merchant who refuses to advertise in the
home paper, and yet expects to get his share
of the trade the paper brings in town.
A man complain when asked to subscribe
for his home paper, saying that he takes more
papers now than he reads, and then 90 around
and borrow his neighbor's, or loaf about until
he gets the news from it.
Above all, the rich, miserly man, who can
not pay for his local paper, yet who is always
around in time to read the paper, at the ex-
pense Of friend, not worth the tenth part OF
what he himself is, yet who Is enterprising
enough to help support the paper.
We like to see these things, because they are
indicative of economy, thrift and progress-in

The General halted in front of him, when the
following conversation ensued:
''Look here, my man, are you not a sentinel
on duty ?''
"Well, y-a-s, bit of one!''
''Don't you know it is wrong to take your
gun apart while on duty?"
"Well, now, who the ID are you?"
The General saw his chance, and with sly
twinkle of the eye, replied: "I'm a bit of

NOT His SHIRT-Mrs. Jones was one even
ing busy embroidering some muslin. Mr. Jones
sat looking at the rich display she was making
and at last said ''Why don't you fix up my
under-clothing fancy too?"
''Oh ~ replied Mrs. Jones, "men don't care
about such things.'
''Of course they do" answered herhushand,
''but the women are too careless and lazy to
take the trouble to put OH the fancy work"
Nothing more was said, but Mrs. Jones
looked as though something had come into her
mind that wonderfully pleased her.
A few nights afterWard, as they were reti-
ring, Jones appeared to be anxiously hunting
something he couldn't find, and, at last, very
petulantly asked, "where is my night dress -
''Under your pillow, my dear, " gently replied
his wife.
'sNo it isn't" said Jones; you have made a
mistake, and put some of your tiummery
here"
90, no. that is not NINE" said Mrs. Jones,
as she took up the garment and held it up be-
fore her husband, "it is your night shirt fixed
up as you said you would like it." And fur
ther examination showed the astOnished Jones
that lis shirt was ornamented with frill
around the bottom, and ruttie around the top,
while pretty piece Of embroidery run down
the front To make the joke more decided,
his wife had put all his other night shirts in
the wash, so that for once he was compelled to
sleep in this fancy garment, and as he ex-
pressed it, when he got up in the morning, he
was not sure whether he was himself or some
woman. At his request his wife took off the
fancy tixings, as Jones called them, and he
never afterward complained that she was care
less of his underclothing.

INTERESTING FAcTs.-The tomb of Ed.
ward l., who died in 1901, was opened Jan.
2, ITO, after 469 years had elapsed. His
body was almost perfect. Canute, the Dane,
who crossed over to England in 1917, was
found in 1879 by the workmen who repaired
Winchester Cathedral, where his body had
reposed nearly $50 years, perfectly fresh In
1869, three Roman soldiers, equipped with
warlike implements, were dug out of peat in
Ireland, where they had probably lain 1900
years. Their bodies were perfectly fresh and
plump. In the reign of James II. Of Eng.

in Warwickshire there was taken out the
corpse of Thomas Gray, Marquis of Dorset,
who was buried the 10th of October, 1880, in

A CUTE ONE.

ssTalk about your hotel BEATS" said a clerk
in one of the hotels of the city, the other eve
ming. 'sI heard of one of the toughest cases
which happened short time ago. 1 got the
first part of the story from the proprietor of
prominent restaurant, to whom the fellow told
a history of the affair before he skipped out of
town. He said that one evening, this fellow
came in and sat down to table, giving his
orders with the air of a millionaire. He was
nicely dressed, and wore a long, handsome
ulster. After he had finished his supper he
started out, seeming to forget that he hadn't
paid The proprietor stopped him with re-
minder of the fact, when it was found that the
fellow was beat, and hadn't a cent of money.
The restaurateur was angry, and about to ad-
minister dose of leather beneath the tails of
that elegant ulster, when the fellow begged off,
and said he would leave his pantalOOns with
the proprietor as security till morning. The
gentleman, in order to test him, consented,
and the fellow went behind the screen and dl-
vested himself of the aforementioned garment,
leaving only the light covering of his under
clothing. With his ulster buttoned closely
around him, he still had the appearance OF a
fnely-dressed gentleman with his pantaloons
stuffed in his boOt-tOps. He left the breeches
and went out. Entering certain prominent
hotel, he walked to the register, entered his

instructed the clerk to have him called at 8
o'clock in the morning, all of which was COM
piled with but when the boy called him at s
O'Clock the air about that room was blue with
profanity, and the fellow ordered the boy to
send the landlord up Immediately. The land
lord, thinking. something terrible had happen
ed, Immediately repaired to the room, and
found his guest apparently in a terrible rage
He wanted to know what kind of id house
they kept there, full of petty sneak thieves.
''Just look here,' said he, "my pantaloons
containing my pocket-book are gone, and some
one connected with this house took them, for
they must have crawled in over the transom.
l tell you, by -, I'll give this place away to
every man on the road. The landlord was
considerably chagrined about the matter, and
sent out for pair of pantaloons, and as the
rest of the clothes were very elegant, an ele-
CANT pair was purchased. The fellow was
then taken to breakfact and shown the best
attention the house could afford. After
breakfast the landlord gave him $40, as he had
to leave Immediately, and promised to leave
no stone unturned until the sneak thief was
discovered. The cute young gentleman went
to the restaurant, redeemed his pants, told the
story, and skipped the town about $3.50
ahead"

BoRERs-The most effectual, if not the
only way to protect young apple trees from the
borer, is simply to bandage the lower part of
the tree with any kind of muslin or cloth
the bandage to extend from about six inches
above the ground to about two inches below
it. Apply the bandage as soon in the spring
as possible, allowing it to remain on until the
last of October. The beetle lays it's eggs an
inch Oh two above the ground in early spring,
and the eggs, being laid on the sunny side OF
ficiently warm, when the young grub, finding
it's way down to the soft bark, gradually works
it's way in. The bandage prevents both the
laying of the egg and the entrance of the grub.
The same will apply to peach trees.

young girls name was Florence Seymark.
Her parents did not approve young 1vy's
advances, and finally forbade him their
house. The lovers, however, managed to
meet clandestinely, and made up their minds
to an elopement on certain night. Old
man Seymark, by some means or other, got
wind Of the proposed escapade, and went
cunning for Jonathan. Coming up with the
gay young lover, he blazed away at him,
shooting. him in the left shoulder, and infiict.

Florence was overwhelmed with grief by
her fathers hasty conduct, but her passion
for her wounded lover was intensified
thousand fold She sent letter telling him
she would fly with him that night if he would
come for her. So that night young Ivy put
in an appearance with close carriage about
l o'clock. Miss Florence was In d terrible
dilemma, for her cruel parents, to insure
against any escapade, had not only locked
the girl into her room, but had also taken away
every stitch Of her clothing. But she was
not to be baffled. She made rope out of the
sheets of the bed and let herself down to the
ground with no other garment but her night
dress covering her blooming charms. She
told the coachman to "look the other
way" and after her lover had helped her
into the carriage and covered up her shiver-
ing form with the carriage robes, she made
him sit on the box with the coachman, They
drove to the house of friend, where Florence
was attired in proper garments, and then
proceeded to the house of a sympathizing
preacher, some distance from town, where the
lovers were speedily united in wedlock.

An attempt was made TO rob the safe in

The robbers effected an entrance into the
building by breaking in window on the
west side of the store house. A hole was
bored into the safe and an attempt made to
blast it, as the blackened books and papers
on the safe show. A young man employ ed
in the store. and who sleeps there, was en-
ticed away and kept absent until after the
robbers failed to accomplish their burglsri-
Gus designs The safe contained only .
small amount of money. the proprietors
having had suspicious that an attempt would
be made to burslarize the safe, from the
presence Of thieving looking characters in
the tovr for some days past. The fortunate
part OF this failure was the escape from FIRE.
We trust the robbers will be captured.
and receive the punishment they richly de-
serve.
