he had been drinking. lie says
everybody drinks when they go to
Chicago, even the minister. Pa
looked at the numbers on the doors
all along the hall till he found 210,
and walked right in and pulled off
his coat and threw it on the lounge
where the dog was. The old maid
was asleep, but the dog barkcd,
and pa said, that cussed boy has
bought a dog and he kicked the
dog, and then the old maid woke
up and said, what is the matter
pctP Pa LATED and said, 'Nothin'
the mazzer with INC pet and then
you ought to have hear the yelling.
The old maid covered her head and
kicked and yelled, and the dog
snarled and bit pa on the pants,
and pa had his vest off and his sus-
pendcrs unbuttoncd, and he got
scared and took his coat and vest
and went out in the hall, and |
opened our door and told pa he
was in the wrong room, and he
said he guessed he knowed it, and
he came in u room and ! locked
the door, and the bell boy, and the
porter, and the clerk came up to
see what allied the old maid, and
she said a burglar got in her room
and they found pas hat ON the
lounge, and they took it and told
her to be quiet and they would find
the burglar. Pa was SO scared
that he sweat like everything, and
the bed was otful warm, and he
pretended to 60 to sleep, but he
was wondering how he would get
his hat back. In the morning |
told him it would be hard work to
explain it to ma how he happened
TO get into the wrong room, and he
said it wasn't necessary to say any
thing about it to ma. Then lie
gave me five dollars to 90 out and
buy him a new hat, and he said |
might keep the change if | would
not mention it when | got home,
and l got one for ten shillings and
we took the eight o'clock train in
the morning and came home, and l
s'pose the Chicago detectives are
trying to fit pas hat onto a burglar.
Pa seemed Ofully relieved when
we got across the state line into
Wisconsin. But you'd a dide to
see him come out Of that old lady's
room with his. coat aud vest on his
arm, and his suspcnders hanging
down, looking scarf. He dassent
lick me anymore or I'll tell ma
where pa left his hat"

the darkness closes in about him
and he is alone and compelled to
be honest with himself. And not
Il bright thought, not a generous
impulse, not n manly act, not a
word of blessing, not a grateful
lcok, comes to bless him again.
Not a penny dropped into the out
stretched palm of poverty, nor the
balm of a loving word dropped into
an aching heart ; no sunbeam of
encouragement cast upon a strug-
Cling life no strong right hand of
fellowship reached out to help
some fallen man to his feet - when
none OF these things come to him
as the "God bless you" of the de-
parted day, how he must hate him
self, How he must try to roll
away from himself and sleep on
the other side Of the bed. When
the only victory he can think of is
some mean victory. in which he
has wronged his neighbor. No
wonder he always sneers when he
tries to smile. How pure and fair
and good all the rest Of the world
must look to him, and how cheer
less and dusty and dreary must his
OWL path appear. Why, even one
lone, isolated act of meanness is
enough to scatter crumbs in the
bed of the average, ordinary man,
and what must be the feelings of a
man whose whole life is given up
to mean actsl When there is So
much suffering and heartache and
misery in the world, anyhow, why
should you add one pound of wick
cdness or sadness to the general
burdenl Don't be mean, my boy.
Suffer injustice a thousand times
rather than commit it once.

Another Straw Bid,

An experiment is to betried with
the new substitute for wood by a
gentleman of Chicago, who will
erect a large building six stories
high, which will require the use of
100, 900 feet of Staw-board for
flooring, $50, 900 feet of ceiling
and material for doors, counters,
etc. The boards are made of straw
pulp, which is first laid in thin
sheets, and having been subjected
to a bath of heated liquid composed
of chemicals IN solution, is pressed
and dried, the required thickness
of the board determining the num-
Der of sheets. 1t a be worked
precisely like other wood and it is
claimed that it will stand fire and
water better. The material is
economical, three tons Of straw fur
nishing 1,606 superficial feet of
boards one inch in thickness.

WOULDN'T DO.
In Old Man Who was Instrumental in Changing q
Lecturers Mind.

The other day a free thinker
went to a small Arkansaw village
for the purpose of delivering a lee
ture. Just as the lecturer was en-
tering the school house, where the
irreligious services were to be held,
an old man stopped him and said
81 hear that you ire a terrible
fellow when you once get turned
loose"
81 don't know" replied the Ice
turor, smilingin his complimentary
acceptation Of the remark. IL do

''They say that in an hour you
can make a church full of folks be
willing to bet there aint no hell"
"You must have heard an exag-
gerated account of my work, but |
confess that | have created great
changes throughout the country. |
suppose you are coming to hear
me-
''No, l recon not. Say, I've
been at WORK here for fifteeu years
tryin' to teach these here people
that there's a hell-tire and a literary
devil"
"a literal devil, you mean"
Yes, a literal devil, and all the
payI got in all this time is ten dol
lars in cash and a pair Of yarn
socks, and I'll be Billy be YOU
know the rest, stranger-if I'm GO
ing to allow a man to step in here
and destroy all my labor. It's
necessary that these folks should
believe in a hell, fur I'm a needin'
socks this minute. Move on any
way now"
"But my audience has assembled
and | cannot disappoint them"
$50 in and tell 'em that you
have suddenly diskivered that there
is a hell and that you are bound to
go home. Go ahead tor they've
got faith in you and have been up
sot ever since they heard you We're
coming. Won't go, eh," and the
old man exhibited the handle of a
pistol. The free thinker, who de
sired to remain on earth, obeyed
and Immediately lett. The old
man went around before the con-
gregation dispersed, and collected
seven dollars. 1t is declared that
it will require a special hell for that
community, and that nothing but a
strong impression in the neighbor-
hood that sulphurous fumes sur
round the souls of the wicked after
death, keep the preachers from
starving.-AykanSaW Traveller.

Schuster's Trouble.

Las Vegas, n. NJ, is a town
which has decided opinions in COM
mercial honesty. Recently a man
named Schuster, living there, col
Iected $500 and charged 5000 for
his commission. AXtell, the new
chief justice, when the case was
brought before him, decided in
favor of the agent. Thereupon
the indignant citizens warned
Schuster that the climate would
not agree with him any longer, and
he left town. If a similar plan
could be adopted in this city it
would rid us of a scurvey lot of
people, but it might seriously inter
fere with the next legislature.-S.

Why The Minister Ceased to Wonder
at a Remarkable Miracle.
From the Denver Tribune.

Approposo of the Egyptian trouble
we wish to relate a little story, the
circumstance of which occurred
during our trip to the Holy Land
several years or moro ago.
He was a devout christian, and
had made the study of the Bible
and a proper understanding of the
big book the highest aim of life.
When he arrived at the sea OF
Galilee his heart was filled with
awe, and he felt cleansed by the
thought hal he was gazing on the
very same spot where his Savior
once stood.
Approaching the boatman, he
addressed him in his choicest Ara
bic, and, with Bible and common
tary in hand, awaited an answer.
"Ahl what smatter tn yer!
Why don't you talk the United
States ?" asked the man contempt
uously. He was a real live Yankee,
who was picking up a living by
ferrying tourists across the sea.
$50 this is the sea Of Galilee,"
devoutly murmured the searcher
after knowledge.
"Ya-a-s."
"And this is where our Savior
walked upon the waters!"
"Ya-a-s."
"How much will you charge to
take me to the exact spotF"
"Wa-al, you look like a clergy
man, an | won't charge you moth
in"
The devout one boarded the
boat, and at last was pointed out
where the miracle is said to have
occurred. After gazing at the
waters, and dividing his time be-
tween chances at his books and de-
vout CALCULATIONS of satisfaction, the
searcher signifed his willingness to
return.
"Charge You $50 to take you
back" said the speculative Yankee.
"But you said you would charge
nothing"
"Naw, didn't. Nothin' to bring
you out, twenty to get back"
"And do you charge everybody
$40 to take them back Z" asked the
astonished searcher.
"Ya-a-s. That's abeout the
tigger."
"Woll, then" said the devout
one, as he went down in his clothes,
mo wonder our Savior got out and
walked"

The Importance of the plains as
a source Of cattle supply is becom-
ing more apparent every year. The
receipts of cattle in Chicago for the
month of October were 175, $40
and here So, 757-total in these two
markets 231, 800. Three-fourth OF
this, l73, 40, may be put down as
western cattle, thus showing them
to have been largely the controlling

ACCIDENTS II KAU.

By advices per steamer Iwalani, we learn that
two serious accidents occurred there during the
latter part Of MAY. On Saturday evening, the 9th
ult., Dr.. divers horse slipped and threw the doc
tor near his residence in Waiohinu, injuring one
of his legs very seriously, breaking his collar-bone,
and bruising his head badly, so as to render him
senseless for a time. On the same date a native
had his hand blown off by the premature discharge
of giant powder, while fishing in the sea near
Honuapo. DR.. Oliver being unable to attend the
injured native, owing to his own accident, Mr.. G.
n. Spencer, undertook the surgical case, and after
administering chloroform to him, amputated his
arm above the wrist, the hand being literally
shattered into shreds, dressed the wounds, and at
the latest date the native was doing well, and was
in a fair way to recover, although the amputation
had been delayed longer than it should have been.
The doctor also, we are glad to learn, is recovering
from what was at first thought to be e fatal mishap.
