only heard that business described BY

scene.
Up in the western part Of the city

three to nine years, caught . goat, q

into an old shed, arranged to do duty

Every arrangement had been made
for the production Of the play Of ma

having been secured. the play went
on.
A runway had been made Of old
planks. II led along one side Of and
up to the left Of the shed, where the
race Of the Wild horse was intended
to end.
The smallest boy in the crowd vas
selected to take the part Of Masepps,
was stripped, secured. lashed upon
the back Of the goat, and started up
the runway With . tremendous clat-
ter Of tin pans.
Half the distance up the runway.

Of IN open window, and out Of this be

All the women on the street rushed
out. and seeing . half naked boy tied
to the back Of . goat, gave chase,
each thinking the boy in peril her

bers Of the amateur dramatic company
joined in the chase. and there was .
grand clamor and commotion.
The uproar frightened the goat. and
he dashed down the steep street ut o.
fearful gait. Being headed Of, the
animal turned and went down the
precipitous side OF the mountain, tax.
Jog Q strxit cut across lo1 for BONANZA
avenue.
BY this time the boy had clipped
down under the goat's belly and vas
in great danger Of having bic brains

over q bank. between which and o

Honor the dear old mother
Time has scattered snowy fakes on
her brows, plowed deep burrows
in her cheeks, bat is she not sweet
aud beautiful now. The lips are thin
and sunken, but those are the lips
which have kissed many hot tear
from the childish cheeks, they are
the sweetest lips in the world; the
eye is dim, yet it glows with the
soft radiance that can never fade.
All, yes she is dear old mother.
The sands of life are nearly run
out, but, feeling as she is, she will
90 further, and reach down lower
for you than any other person on
earth. You cannot enter a prison
whose bars can keep her outl you
can not mount scaffold two high
for her to reach that she may kiss
and bless you in evidece of her
deathless love when the world shall
despise and forsake you; when it
leaves you by the wayside to per
ish unnoticed, dear old mother will
gother you ii her arms and carry
you home and tell you of all your
virtues unit you almost forget you
soul is disfgured by vices. Love
tenderly' and cheer the declining

the fathers inspection in a beautiful
grove where gay birds sang sweetly
among til, foliage, and all neture
rejoiced in the luxuriance of a boun-

down to the canvas of the young
painter and attempted to eat the
fruit he had pictured there. In his
surprise and joy at the Ouug artist's

could triumph over that. Soon, how

picture, and it was yelled.

DEATH FROM TIGHT LACING. -
Tho GLASGOW News says The evils
of tight lacing were shown at an in
quest which was held last week al
Kilburn upon the body of Mrs.
Amelia Jury. DR.. Hill stated that
upon making a pOsts norton exam
ination he found that the stomach
was contracted in the middle by a
firm band, narrowing it one eighth
of the usual size, 50 there we're vir-
tually two stomachs, aud this con-
traction was on a level with linden
tation on the liver, corresponding to
where the stays tightly bound
round The liver itself was hattened
out, and was driven down very deep
into the pelvis also, aud there was
no doubt but what this was also pro-
duced by tight lacing. The coroner
said that he some time ago held an
inquest where it was shown tina. the
liver had been very seriously injured
through tight lacing. end perhaps
these cases would act as caution
against the practices now adopted
