RATHER ROUGH ON THE MISSIONA-
RY.-Some two ears ago, according to
Pittsburg paper, George Bovard and
Clara Shaffer became engaged at Mercer.
He went to India as a missionary.
whence he wrote for her to come and
be married. He had no money to pay
her expenses and she had none. In
this emergency, few months ago, she
made confident of "Dick" Wright, a
heavy clothing merchant of Mercer. and
he being big-hearted man, with gen.
erous impulses, offered to supply her
with what money she needed to reach
her far-off lover. She gladly accepted
his offer, and at once began her prepare.
tions for the long journey. "Dick" and
Miss Shaffer were thrown much to-
She was ready to start he was deeply in
love with her himself. But he said
nothing, and she started for New York
with enough of "Dick's" money in her
pocket to take her to India. Two or
three days after her departure he grew
respondent, and chided himself for hav-
ing given away his chance for marrying
Miss Shaffer himself A thought
struck bin, and that was to follow her,
and if possible overtake her before she
boarded steamer in New York for dis
tant India. He acted promptly on the
thought, took the cars, reached New
York, and found the vessel on which
she was to sail. Miss Shaffer was already
on board. He made known his affec-
ton, asked her for her hand for himself,
was accepted, and the two returned to
Mercer few days ago as man and wife.

"Oh, mamma! Is it snowing?"

again"
Hush, my child mamma will not
let you die. No, darling, you shall have
many sleigh rides yet before you die. !"
mo, not many, mamma; if I could
have just one. it would be SO nice"
It was last Tuesday. and little girl
who had seen the snow come and 60
nine times, lay dying in her humole
home on st. Antoine street. Weeks
and weeks the fever had burned within
her and its fierce fire showed itself in
the deep blue eyes and the lovely, limo
cent face. The mother, an ever-cOnstant
watcher at the sufferers pillow, had
never given up hope, but the child, with
that knowledge which seems to come to
all before death, knew that she would not
join her merry playmates over on the
school ground. Day by day as the fever
burned she had wished for the snow to
come, and when the white flakes fell
the other day the loving mother changed
the child's position that she might, un
warned, catch the first glimpse of the
1eecy snow. The child gazed out into
the Hurried air long and earnestly, and
then when the pain made her writhe
she turned an appealing look to the sad
faced mother, and said: =
"But, mamma, don't believe shall
| ever have another sleigh ride. Now
promise me If this snow is on the GROUND
when die you'll have my coffin carried
to the grave on sleigh"
"Why, my sweet child, why do vol
make such request? You shall no
die-you will grow better Tomorrow"
"But, mamma, promise me, will you
Please. mamma, please"
Eyes, darling, yes"
"Oh, thank you, mamma-that's 81

CHEAP GIRLs-A girl who makes
herself too cheap is one to be avoided.
No young man, not even the worst, ex-
cept for base purpose, wants anything
to do with a cheap young girl. For a
wife, none but fool or rascal will ap-
preach such woman. Cheap jewelry
no person will touch if he can get any
better. Cheap girls are nothing but the
refuse, and the young men know it, and
they will look in every other direction
for life long friend and companion be-
fore they will give glance at the pinch
back stuff that tinkles at every turn for
fascinating the eye of any that will
look. You think that 1t is quite 1.-THE
correct thing" to talk loudly and coarse
ly, be boisterous and hoydenish in all
public places; to make yourself so bold
and forward and commonplace every
where that people wonder that you ever
had mother or home or anything to
do! So be it! You will probably be
taken for what you are worth, and one
of these years-if you do not make
worse than shipwreck of yourself-you
will begin to wonder where the charms
are that once yon thought yourself pos
sessed of, and what evil spirit could
have 80 befooled you. Go in, but re.
member that cheap girls attract nobody
but fools and rascals.

THE FOOLISH HEN-A FABLE
Mrs. Brown Hen was known through
out her neighborhood as modest, hard
scratching, patient biddy. She never
complained of the cold or found fault
with the heat, and no one ever heard
her express an envious wish. Great
was the surprise, therefore, when she
appeared among the barnyard fowls one
day, and began:
.."I'm tired of being hen. It is moth
ing but scratch for worms and lay eggs
for the family. Let peacock pass by
and all praise it, but what member OF
the family ever has word of praise for
me? I'm going to be a peacock"
"That you cannot be-" replied a vet
eran old rooster, as he shook the dirt of
his back "You lack in size and shape.
Nature intended you for hen, and as a
hen you are success"
"But can dress like the peacock, u
persisted the hen. "I'm sick and tired
of these brown colors. I see no reason
why shouldn't dress as well as any
fowl"
/ Arguments and reasons were of nc
avail, and Mrs. Brown Hen walked
away to carry out her programme. In
an hour she appeared among the pea
cocks with red ribbon around bel
neck, gay feather over her ear, and q
red wooden rag tied around her leg,
She strutted about and tried to make
herself at home, but one of the pea.
cocks stepped forward and said:
"You are simply deceiving yourself
We all know you for hen. While
you were acting the part of ben we all
respected you. Now that you are crowd.
ing in where you don't belong, and
where neither nature nor education
hare fitted you for, you deserve only con-
tempt"
The hen persisted in trying to be 9
peacock, and as she struttted around in
her borrowed finery the cook observed
her and said:
"No hen with her means could have
come by those things honestly. She
was the best hen in the coop as long az
she remained in her place, but now that
she is out of 1t she will be gossiped
about and made miserable, and I will
therefore wiring her neck and eat her.
