Queen YictOria's Holiday.

No woman of the Weather class earns
holiday more deseryedly than Queen
Victoria. Ministers rise and fall, and
pass from active life into ease and COM
parative seclusion, but the Queen has
been continuously in official harness
since 1887, and forty-five years is a long
stretch of uninterrupted work. When
her septuagenariau Prime Minister was
occupying his first official post she was
already politician of some experience,
and had discussed great questions with
the leading minds of the day. A wom-

Mary Jane Tells About the Spicers' Cows.

Mary Jane Tells About the Spicers' Cows.
They had lots of cows, the Spicers
had-and they passed most of their time
in our garden. The reason they didn't
stay In the pasture was because the
fences were all broken down; for the
Spicers were the most shiftless folks in
Tuckertown. Why I cared about the
cows was because had to drive 'em out.
Well, one day grandpa said:
eff those COWS get into my corn again,
I'll drive 'em up to the pound"
whats the pound? ?" asked Dot.
"It's a pen," said grandpa, "where
you can drive any cattle you find on
your land; and the owner cant get them
out without paying fine.
"Oh. think that's elegant !" said /.
know lots of peoples cows L should
like to get into the pound"
When grandpa went out, 1 said L
would go and tell Sarah Spicer just what
he had said.
"Now, Mary Jane. you jest stay where
you ere. You want your fingers In
everybody's pies" 1t was Aunt Jane
you might know-who said that.
might have answered that she was
so sparing with hers Especially miice)
that / never could touch them. But I
didn't. i often think of real smart
things, and it's mean that L can't say
them.
But declare, there is never any use
at all in my arguing with Aunt Jane
for, when get the best of her, she al
ways stitiens up and says: "There, that
will do, Mary janet Not another
word |"
Besides it isn't.right to answer back.
SO 1 just said nothing, but took Dot and
marched straight off to the Spicers'.
We found Sarah and Sam playing in
front of their house.
How dye do, Mary Jane?" said
she.
g. How dye do Miss Spicer said I.
MERCY me- Mary Jane what airs ! "
said she. Its no use to put 'em on
here in Tuckertown, can tell you, for
folks know all about you"

Little Ted: a Band Of Hope Boy.

1t is birthday, and bottle of home
made wine and large plum cake OF
mothers baking are on the supper table.
Why does little Ted take the cake but
refuse the wine?
"You know I'm Band of Hope boy,
father"
"Well, what if you are, once in a way
can't matter You needn't tell your
teacher, if that's ALL.
"But please" says little Ted, nerv-
ously, show could L look teacher in the
face if I had broken my pledge?"
Brave little chap p mused the
father, as he dexterously turns the con-
versation. "To think, now, that he can
stand up against my suggestions. There
is something in the lad that there isn't
in me. Where am L? Five times Ted's
age, yet with not half his wisdom y
The admission once made led to fur
ther thought, and as Ted's father was
man of determination he let his worthy
vicar into the secret of his thoughts the
. first time that good man called, which
haprened to be the following Sunday
afternoon. The vicar had been in next
door to baptize dying infant, and
looked in on Ted's father as he passed
home ward. And this is what the vicar
heard from the lips of the man he had
always thought hard and Indifferent and
most difficult to impress:
Look we here, sir; / want to thank
you for your Band of Hope. It's not so
much that you are bringing the young
sters up to do without the beer, which
is no mans true friend, and is the enemy
of a-many, but it's because your rules
and principles and teaching call out the
best that is in us. Ny Ted and then
he told the story of the birthday wine,
and added, plaintively: "the lads
words made me feel how little loved
true goodness. l was ashamed of my
self, and then I wished that was half
as brave as little Ted. I've touched no
strong drink since, and there's no telling
what it may lead to-"
"No telling!" No, not much talk
about it. But Ted's father is good
man to-day, and Ted has the credit of
making him so, so far as human instru-
mentality can avail anything, and the
teacher--one of the workers of that
very great Band of Hope-won1ers why
ne had always looked upon Ted as one
of the least interesting of his boys, ole
never likely 4" to set the Thames on fire"
No, Ted has not set the Thames on fire,
but he has done something much more
worthy of praise, though possibly the
teacher does not know enough to get all
the comfort out of it.-lfrs. q. S.

In addition to this amount OF cash, contribu-
tons OF goods estimated as worth at least
$4,000 were received AMI distributed, making
an aggregate Of $l.500,000. Much of these

timated at very low values.

OUR LITTLE FOLKS.
Artie's ~ Aunen.v

They were Methodists twain, of the ancient school,
Who always followed the wholesome Idie
That wherever the preacher In meeting said
AuRht that good for the heart or head,
His hearers should pour thi feelings out
In "A loud Amen" or cody shout.
Three children had they all honest boys,
Whose youthful SORROWS and youthful joys
They shared, as your loving parents viii,
While tending them ever through good and III.
One day-twas a bleak, cold Sabbath morn,
When the sky dark aud the earth forlorn-
These boys, with caution not TO roam,
Were left by the elder folk at home.
But had they gone when the wooden frame
Was seen by the tall stoye-ppe ahome;
And out of their reach, high, high, aud higher,
Rose the red coils of the serpent fire.
With startled sight for while they gazed,
Az the pipe grew hot and the woodwork blazed;
Then up, though his heart beat wild with dread,
The eldest climbed to a shelf o'erhead,
And soon with sputter and hiss OF steam,
The flame died out like an angry dream.
When the father and mother came back that day
They had gone to a Deghboring church TO pray
Each looked, but with half-sverted eye,
On the awful doom which had just passed by.
And then the father began to rraise
His boys with tender and sweet amaze.
"Why, how did You manage, Tom, to climb
And quench the threatening flames In time
To save your brothers and save yourself?"
swell, father, mounted the strong oak shelf
BY the he p OF the table standing nigh"
And what" quoth the father suddenly,
Turning To Jenny, the next in age,
"Did you to quiet the fiery raseG"
al brought the pail and the dipper too,
And 40 IL that the water few
AL over the flames and quenched them quite"
A mist came over the fathers sight,
A mist of pride and of righteous Joy,
Az he turned at last to his youngest boy
A gleeful urchin scarce three years old,
With his dimpling cheeks and his hair OF gold
"Come Artie, I'm sure you wasn't afraid;
Now tell me what way you tried to aid
This fight with the fire." "Too small am J."
Arte replied, with half drawn sigh,
"To fetch like Jenny, and work like Tom;
So stood just here for moment dumb,
Because papa, was frightened some;
But prayed Our Father then-and then
j shouted as loud "a / ,uld, Amen."

BRACKETS Resignation.

The resignation of Chief Engineer Bracket,
is serious blow to the fire department. That
the Minneapolis fire department is one of the
most efficient IN the West, is almost entirely
due to the capable efforts of Chief Brackett.
For a long term of years he has made an
especial study of the requirements, having
frequently visited Eastern cities to
investigate the workings of the very
best departments in the country, and often
at great expense to himself. He had always
not only discharged most conscentiously the
duties his office involved, but he has also
taken commendable pride in the success of
his endeavors and has always commanded
the respect and unqualified obedience of every
member of the organization.
Doubtless the inadequacy OF the salary
OF the chief had much to do
with the resignation. He has several times
been rendered positions more lucrative and
unattended by the dangers to life and limb, as
well as the responsibilities incident to his off.
ice. 1t will be difficult indeed to find another
man in all Minneapolis, who can assume the
the position of chief of the fire
department with as much credit
as has William Bracket. The
GLOBE suggests that the city council at its
next me sting, double the salary of the chief,
and then request Mr.. Bracket to withdraw
his resignation.
