A HARD GRIND.

A hand-organ man was making his
way up Adams Avenue, yesterday, when
boy met him and asked:
How many tunes do you play"
"Zixteen shunes-nice, sweet shunes,
replied the man.
my father is fond of music, but he is
little deaf" continued the boy.
80, dat makes no defIerence-I make
a him hear"
The boy led the way up street to where
plaster bust Of Sir Isaac Newton had
been arranged in bay window to look like
living man, and the Italian spit on his
hand and began on the crank. He ground
out all the tunes in rotation, and then
began at the bottom and ground back up
the scale till he got all the tunes in the
garret of the box again. The man in
the bav-window didn't move a hair, and
the Italian drew a long breath and
sighed
play moar museek - make him
hear soon"
He ran out eight tunes, and then
threw some gravel at the window. The
bust didn't even work its ears, and the
Italian leaned the organ on the fence and
loudly sang:
go! who shall dinks OF me some moar
When am far ara-wa-yf"
The seven other tunes were ratified oil
at lively pace, while the man coughed'
whistled, kicked on the fence and encou-
ragged dog-fght, in order to attract the
deaf mans attention.
'Sing louder-play harder y called
the boy, from the next street corner.
The grinder secured a brace for his
feet, unbuttoned his vest, and the way he
roared brought out the citizens by the
score. He kept his eyes on the bust and
gave no heed to the crowd, and the organ
box was smoking hot when he let up on
the grind. Resting the music on the ground
he leaped over the fence and got square
look at his victim. His quiet grin faded
into look of woe and misery and mur'
der, and getting his eyes on the boy with
the red neck-tie, he ran him four block:
and under a carpenter shop before still
small voice whispered that he had better
hold on

Cbeckmatev is yery fond Of company

i Checkmate" is very fond of company,
and likes to be made much of. He takes
caresses with the sheepish manner of an
overgrown boy glad to have them, but
ashamed Of being petted.
Parole" is a bit Of kleptomaniac.
He has fancy for handkerchief which
he sees protruding from gentlemen's
pockets. He delights, too, in robbing
the ladies who visit him-for he has
many-of their cloaks or other wraps.
"Harry Bassett' hated barefooted sta
ble boys so much that he would make
every effort to bite their legs.
"Constantina' would always bolt if
on the outside Of the course. If inside,
she would never think of it, even if she
had plenty Of chances.
Blackburn" was like "Monarchist,"
he could never be got to extend himself
unless the jockey wore his colors. In
his work it was next to impossible to get
him into a canter. In race he nearly
pulled the Jockeys arms out, so eager
was he to run away from his field.
"Hindoo' is the very opposite, He
has no will of his own, but does just what
is asked of him, no matter how much, but
no more.
Charley Gotham another inmate Of
the Dwyer stable, is so attached to his
home and companions that he could not
be taken away from it, and he and "War-
field" are the thickest of friends. At Sar-
atoga, two years ago, he was sold, but
he soon forced his way out of his new
quarters and in the morning he was found
at his old stable, waiting to be admitted
into the stall adjoining Warfeld's.'
He has his own pail of water and will
not use any other.

OSCAR WILDE'S TILT AGAINST A
TRAIN BOY.

A man who was on the same train
with Oscar Wilde, coming from Reno to
Ogden, relates an amusing experience.
Wilde was lounging back in his seat,
dreaming of asphodel, etc., when the
train boy woke him up by shouting:
"Hoscar Wilde's poems for ten cents
The poet started up to a sitting posi-
ton, with:
"Great Gourd Is it possible that my
poems have reached such beastly figures
as that: :"
"Three for two bits" continued the
boy.
lie offered the poet some copies Of the
Seaside Library edition in paper.
Wilde grabbed the book and fixed MS
big eyes on the boy.
DO you know, my dear sir, that you
are lending your countenance to helllsh
infringement on the rights of an English
author :"
"Is that so ?" replied the boy, slowly
"Do you spose the feller that writ that
book will know it =
"Of course he will. How can your
guilty acts escape his cognizance.'

OUR MOTHER.


One year has passed away,
Since that long. weary day,
When mother looked on Us, her LAST good bye
Then closed her eyes, so peacefully 10 die.
What memories come, as looking down tn
years,
our mothers face and form to-day appears.
And listening, we can almost hear
Her voice. and feel her hand SO near.
Thst, halfexpectant, we reach out TO see If
once again.
Her touch has not the power to drive away tho
pain,
Which all the year has rested 10 our heart,
And made il wounded. as by cruel dart.
Her loving care, like sunlight on the field,
Made every passing year Of childhood yield
Abundant joys. and warmed 10 life the seed
Which she had planted. 'gainst each time O
need
That sure would come" so OF she used tc
say.
While leading us along the GOLDEN WAY.
She knew life's way. and wished her children's
feet
Might tread the paths in which the joys com
pleie
should ever be. aud where the honors ever
true
Would richly crown them all their journey
through.
Like mountain guide, when dangers seemed
mere near
She held US fast. and bade US never fear,
Though darkness came like night.
II only we were sure we held the right
How OF we taxed her strength, her faith would
try,
Until the tear-drop. falling from her loving
eye,
Would conquer ne, and yielding choice and
will.
We went the way she wished to lead vs. still.
Her prayer. like incense. filed our home.
Ascending evermore to heavens high dome.
And bringing back the needed grace TO bear
The heavy sorrow, or the lighter care.
What treasures in those prayers. which OF we
heard.
when father turned from reading OF the Word.
And bowing low, with her did plead
That we TO wisdom eyermorc might give our
heed.
SUN RAAN AIt up NhsNh We NtAsHS
To find blessing. reaching through all time.
Through all the years pilgrim, ever on her
way
To find that city OF eternal day.
Where treasures are. and hidden things AXE

And they 10 reap in JOY who here in tears have
sown.
she loved 10 comfort, loved TO teach. and lead,
To raise the fallen. and the hungry soul TO feed.

Whose word could sill. the storm and calm the

Whatever joys may come. or evils may betide
And here. to-day. from this historic shore.
We bless thy memory. and love thee more.
As pictured In our checkered past We better

What thou, 10y grace. divine, has, made our
lives 10 be.
our mothers voice no longer calls Us TO come
home.
And yet we.seem to hear 1t, wherever we may

While better rest and Joys still more divine

One good result Of the hard times 4 few
years ago, was the bringing into life an
article in proprietary medicine, which
gave 10 every purchaser ! full equivalent
FOR his money. The rule of this class Of
medicines is from 10 10 - doses Tor SlQD,
the best only reaching 40. MeSsrs. Hood
took new departure and In the article
now so well and fayoraby known a,
Hoods Sarsaparilla, they gave the unprec-

These facts commend this remedy 70 the
consideration of the sick, also the well,
