a Pet Woodchuck,
Waterbury American.


Last summer Mr.. Zophar Pearsall's
little daughter made quite a pet of a
Woodchuck. 1t was one of the three
that Scott the baker obtained in all
their primitive originality from Mr..
Fairclough of Wolcott. The animal
grew and thrived and seemed much
attached to the little girl, who fondled
it with impunity, it never Offering to
bite her. One day as autumn advanced.
the little animal began to evince the
proclivities of his mother race. and
sought to burrow into the garden mold
for the winter. Fearing that her pet
would be lost if allowed to shift for
himself the little girl caused a nice.
warm bunk to be made under cover.
But the animal wasn't used to winter
ing in that way, and showed his disaf-
lection by much fretting and worrying.
Finally it was thought best to yield to
the creatures disposition, and he was
hidden good bye, and shortly after ward
was seen digging on neighboring hill
side. The little girl did not forget her
pet. but often wondered what had be.

Pearsall residence this morning heard
vigorous scratching at an outer door.
The door was opened, and in walked

worse for his winters sleep, but with
a Weil-developed appetite for food.

Portland Yves, India Trade.

Some 60 or 20 years ago, when Port
land was in her glory, shipping lumber
to the West Indies, and importing mo-
lasses by the thousands of hogsheads.
the sawmills were at the village of
Saccarappa. and the lumber was hauled
to Portland by OK teams. The sailors
thought that they had to live on horse
beef. The only way they could tell
the difference between that and OK beef
was by the ribs-those of the horses
being round, and of the OK fat. One
day sailor scanned them very closely,
and found engraved on a fat rib the
following lines. so says tradition:
From Saccarap to Portland pier
I've hauled boards for many year,
Till killed by blows and sore abuse
I'm sailed down for sailors use.

Spring in all ATTITUDES and longitudes
Is, indeed, a delightful season. 1t is
more especially so here near the place
where winter is stored up for use al.
most the entire year. Here in the neigh
oorncod where the remains of Sir John
FRANKLIN were found, here where a

ed than elsewhere.
All nature is glad at this season of
the year and at this elevation. The
soclaole little cactus comes forth in the
guiches, while in its bosom the bud is
swelllng which, in June, will come
Iorth In It's tropical brightness. Meek
little cactus, emblem of quiet submis-
sion, emblem of reluctant spring,
Coy and shy, modest and reserved at
times, let not the fresh and gentle
stranger undertake to crush thee with
his person.
Spring in this torrid cline reaches
us ABOUT June, and even at that time
seems uncertain and lacks that decision
OF character which marks the season
farther away from the open polar sea
than we are.
1t Is at this season that the noun.
tain streams are turned into the irrigat-
ing canals and go laughing adown the
green fringed bitches of the towp, kiss
ing the oyster can, and with a gurgle
or satisfaction dallying with the stiffen-
ed remains of the holiday corset.
Out in the sun-kissed hills, and over
the mellow distance, where the gray
sky fingers lovingly on the mountains,
the graceful little cottontail is bound
ing athwart the glorious landscape. On
beyond him the eye catches the swift
yet noiseless movement of the coyote.
In a moment the cottontail and the
coyote will have melted into each other
like beautiful dream, and the coyote
will be on the outside.
In the greenish- gray foreground of
this beautiful picture, underneath the
protecting boughs of the sagebrush, the
sagehen IS laying her eggs. We will
not disturb her thoughts. The intel
lectual strain which it requires to Law
an egg should not be harshly broken
in upon by the careless and thoughtless
wording.
Across the stretch of level plain and
the green divide, the summer zephyr
is signing. and on its heaving bosom it
is bearing the seductive odor of the
sand lily, the alkali buffalo wallow. and
the deceased Texas steer.
Spring, sweet-scented advance agent
OF summer, you are once more among
us. Beautiful spring has come.

Don't Skip the Hard Points.

Boys. L want to ask you how do you
think a conqueror would make out.
who went through country he was
trying to subdue, and whenever he
found fort hard to take, left it alone.
Don't you think the enemy would
buzz wild there, like bees in hive, and
when he was well into the heart of the
country, don't you fancy they would
swarm out and harass him terribly :?
just so, want you to remember,
will it be with you. If you skip over
the hard places in your lessons, and
leave them unlearned, you have left
an enemy in the rear that will not
fail to haIass you, and mortify you,
times without out number.
"Ihere was just little bit of my
Latin hadn't read" said a vexed
student 60 me, "and it was just there
the professor had to call upon me at
examination. There were just two
examples had passed over, and one of
those was asked to do on the black
board"
The student who is not thorough is
never well at ease, he cannot forget
the skipped problems and the con-
seriousness of his deficiencies makes
him nervous and anxious.
Never laugh at the slow, plodding
student; the time will surely come
when the laugh will be turned. 1t
takes time to be thorough, but it more
than pays. Resolve, when you take
upa new study, that you will go
through it like successful conqueror,
taking every streng point.
If the inaccurate scholars difficulties
closed with his school life, it might
not be so great matter for his future
career. But he has chained to himself
habit that will be like an iron ball at
his heel all the rest of his life. What
ever he does, he will be lacking some
where. He has learned to shirk what
is hard, and the habit will grow with
years. Now, nothing we get in this
life is to be had for nothing. Success
is not thrust upon man. If you
want any good, you must work for it.
The eye that never falters, and the
nerve that never qHails, are the
elements of victory in the mental and
moral, as well as the physical work.
Don't skip the hard points.

Royal Kindness.



The Prince of Wales has shown in
connection with dlsagreeable incident
OF his Leicester visit that ready tact
which Is really blending Of good sense
and Of good nature. The man who
tried to thrust his hand upon the
princess Of Wales was promptly sem
fenced to imprisonment with hard la
Dor. On learning what had happened,
the prince at once telegraphed his spec
ial wish and that of the princess that
the remainder OF the sentence should
be RENTED. The desire has been COM
piled with. This graceful and kindly
intervention will probably convert an
unpleasant occurrence which seemed
TO mar an otherwise complete success
into one OF the most agreeable recol-
leotions OF the visit. The man was
not the hrst Of many offenders whose
rudeness Is almost as great as his own.
The fashionable, or at any rate the
well-dressed, crowds who. whenever
they have an opportunity, mob any roy
al or princel7 parsonage into whose
presence they can thrust themselves,
do not deserve, perhaps, imprisonment
with hard labor. But it is misfor-
tune that there is no tribunal Of good
manners which can infiict upon them
an appropriate penalty. The action of
the prince is in some degree a rebuke
TO those persons who are always clam
oring for the harshest punishments
whenever an offepse is committed
against . royal parsonage. The true
policy In such cases is the utmost leni-

Major Jim Sumpter, wealthy citi-
zen of Austin, is about to erect a
family residence. He is a particular
friend of Gilhooly, and applied to that
gentleman for advice.
What do you want to know?" asked
Gilhooly.
"Well, you see. 1 want to build the
house so the kitchen won't smoke, and
don't want to be bothered with mos
quitoes in the bedrooms. How am 1

THAT is the easiest thing in the
world. If you want to prevent YOUR
Kitchen from smoking, just cook in
your bedroom, and the smoke in the
bedroom will drive out the mosoui-
tees, so you will kill two birds with one
stone"
