HOW THEY PARTED.

A year ago this spring, Detroiter
and a Missourian became acquainted
with each other in Leadville. HAY
ing decided that they could better
themselves outside the city, they
journeyed away over the hills and
founded the present town of Twin
Lakes. They built shanty, stored
their things in it, and Sunday came
around. Before the Missourian was
awake the Detroiter had shaved, wash
ed and put on clean shirt. Indeed,
he also changed his socks and greas-
ed his boots. When the other awoke
he looked at the Detroiter for a long
time without speaking. Then he got
up and walked around him, and final
ly asked:
"Going to church anywhere to-
day I"
mo"
"Any funeral around here any
where ?"
"No."
expect Queen Victoria here to Wis
it you to-day?"
"Ne."
The Pike County man turned away
and prepared his breakfast without
another word. When he had finished
it he went out and sat down on rock
and looked straight at the hills for an
hour. Then he went back to the
shanty and said:
"Jim, are you going to do this reg
ular every Sunday ?"
"Why, I like to clean up a little at
the end of the week."
81 'spose you wouldn't help get up
a mule race on Sunday ~
"Well, hardly"
"Nor a dog fight ?"
"No.'
"And you wouldn't make it day
for old sledge and poker"
"Not if I could do better"
"Jim, you and me must part"
quietly observed the Missourian, as he
began picking up his things.
"N0! What's the matter9"
"You amt no such man as | can

"About what?"
"About billed shirts and clean

SENATOR BOONE's BIG FEET.

In the early days of Indiana, one
Of the senators was a good-natured
giant named George Boone. When
he stood up his height attracted at
tention, for he measured nearly seven
feet. If he made a gesture his hands
were noted as the largest ever seen
in the state. But it was his feet that
amazed his colleagues.
When about IS, young Boone de-
cided he would call on a neighbor,
who lived a few miles off. Sally, the
neighbours daughter, was large and
pretty, and the youthful giant thought
she would make him a suitable wife.
1t was late in the fall, though too
early to put on shoes, SO that he star
ted barefoot. His best butternut,
colored suit had been made some six
months before, and was much too
small for him. The pantaloons just
reached below the knees, while the
coat stretched as tight over his body
as an eel-skin dried on a hoop-pole.
After wading creeks and muddy
bottoms the would-be sparker arrived
at the neighbours hut just as the fam
lily were sitting down to a supper of
mush and milk. Being invited to
draw up, he sat down alongside of
Sally. The old lady offered him
large bowl, which he stretched forth
his hand to take. Not making sutfi-
Gent allowance for the size of his
hand, he struck the big milk pitcher.
Out went the milk over the table, and
out went Sally from the room roaring
with laughter.
The old lady kindly remarked: lit
will rub out when it dries;' but the
youth knew that he was already rub
bed out, so far as Sally was concerned.
He saw no more Of her. The clock
struck ten.
"Mr. Boone asked the old lady,
"won't you wash your feet and go to
bed? ~
eyes, ma'am.'
Here's an iron pot; it is the only
thing l have, that'll do"
The pot proved too small for his
feet to enter, except by sliding chem
in sideways. When in, they swelled
so much that he could not get them
out. The pain was intense. AS the
clock struck IL, the old lady asked:
"Mr. Boone, are you not through
washing your feet ;"
"What does this pot cost p he
roared; ~ must break it."
"a dollar"
"Bring me the axe"
Breaking the pot in pieces, he han
ded the old lady a dollar, opened the
door and started for home. Several
years after he met Sally alta husking.
AS soon as she saw him she burst out

A LESSON FOR MAMMA.
BY SYDNEY DAYRE IN ST. NICHOLAS.

Dear Mamma, If You could be
A tiny little girl like me,
And your mamma, you would see
How nice I'd be to you.
I'd always let you have your way;
I'd never frOwn at you, and say:
You are behaving i'll to-day;
Such conduct would not do.
I'D always give you jelly cake
For breakfast, and I'd never shake
My head, and say: you must not take
So very large slice
I'd never say: My dear, trust
You will not make me say you must
Eat up your oatmeal; or The crust
You'll find is very nice
I'd buy you candy every day;
I'd 90 down town with you and say:
What would my darling ike You may
Have anything You see.'
I'd never say: My pet, you know
IT'S bad for health and teeth, and so
l cannot let you have it. No.
It wouldbe wron g in me-
And every day I'd let yop wear
Your incest dress, and never care
If it should get great big tear
I'd only say to you
My precious treasure, never mind,
For little clothes aviH tear, find
Now, Mamma, wouldn't that be kind
That's Just what Ishould do.
I'D never say: Well, just a teac
I'd let you stop your lessons too;
I'd say, They are too hard for you,
Poor child, to understand.
I'd put the books and states away;
You shouldn't do thing but play,
And have aparty every day.
Ah-h-h, wouldn't that be grand
But, Mamma dear, you cannot grow
Into little girl you know,
And ! cant be your mamma; so
The only thing to do,
Is .just for you to try and see
How very, uerynice 'twould be
For yo1i to do all this for me,
Now, Mamma, couldn't you''

otwhat have become of the fairies,
Those dear little people of light
And where are their beautifai Castles
That were built BY magic bright ;
How Iloved, in my happy childhood,
That tiny, wonderful band;'
How used to sit and listen
For the music of fairyland.
And when gathered bright lowers,
That waved in the sunshine air
would look in each for a fairy,
Thought to be hiding there;
Then finding not fairies but Gewdrops,
Thought. in my innocent nind,
That the dear little folks had vanished,
Leaving their chariots behind.
At night, as ] watched the frefies,
Flashing their. meteor light,
l thought each spark lantern,
Held by some tiny sprite.
When in the woodland I wandered,
0rpaused by ripping stream,
! would feel the spell OF the carries
Steal DER my soul like dream.
I would hear their musical laughter,
And their voices sweet and low,
/
/ would see in childish fancy,
Bright forms fit to and fro,
But ah they are gone those visions
That camein chiIdhoods years
Visions that filed my little iieart
With so many joys and tears
Yes, gone are the little people
Gone are their palaces grand
And even the echo is husheG
OF the music in fairyland.
For alas Reanty taught me
Asmy childhood passed away
That fairies are only fancy
To brighten the poets lay.

the moss-green wall. There was she
with her daisy chain and children at her
knees.
Just as | thought he would surely be
moving on, he vaulted lightly over the
wall, and, while | watched with angry
eyes, ran to her from behind, drew her
head back to him, and kissed her twice
or thrice upon the lips.
The blood boiled within my veins. !
did not doubt that this was a dastardly
outrage, and that my darling needed a
defender. In minute vengeance would
have been done, and he or | would have
lain low.
But her answer showed l was mista-
ken.
"Charlie," CRED she, with that sweet
smile l knew so well, chow can you kiss
me before the children 4"
"Why not ~ cried he. "DOn't kiss
them before you /"
And to prove his words he snatched
up little girl and kissed her again and
again, she laughing at the fun. Then
he sat down by her side, and putting his
arms about her, drew her to him. The
daisy chain dropped to her lap, and she
looked at him as though he were all the
world to her.
Darling" said he, not loudly, but
loud enough for me to hear, 81 have
spoken to my mother about you and me
to-day, and she thinks ! am very foolish;
but since l always have been, and al
ways will be so, she thinks ! may as
well take you to be my little wife
though you will be very foolish for let
ting me-
Her answer was to lay her head upon
his shoulder, and flash her blue eyes
with still softer blue upon his face.
