SAMMTE RUNS AWAY.

!. I'm going now to run away"
Said little Sammie Green, one day.
Then can do just what choose,
I'll never have to black my shoes,
Or wash my face, or comb my hair.
Ill find place, know, somewhere;
And never have again TO I'LL
That old chip-basket-so will.
u Goodbye, mamma" he said" G ood-bye!"
He thought his mother then would cry.
She only said: :" You going, dear?"
And didn't shed single tear.
u There. nowi" said Sammie Green; =" 1 know
She does not care IL do go.
But Bridget does. She'll have to all
That old ehip-basket-so she will"
But Bridget only said: swell, boy.
You of for sure? wish you joy"
And Sammies little sister Kate,
Who swung upon the garden gate,
Said, anxiously. as he passed thro';
+" Tonight, whatever will you do
When you can't get no 'lasses spread
AT supper time on top of bread"
One block from home, and Sammie's dear,
Weak little heart was full of fear.
He thought about RED Riding Hood"
The wolf that met her in the wood:
When he heard the giants Fee, TO fun; -
OF the dark night and the policeman,
Then poor Sammie homeward ran.
Quick through the alley-way he sped,
And crawled in thro the old wood-shed.
The big chip-basket he did nil;
He BACKED his shoes up with will;
He washed his face and combed his hair;
He went up to his mothers chair,
And kissed her twice, and then he said:
aid like some 'lasses top of bread!"

Mr.. and Mrs. Jones at Home.

Mrs. Jones was reading aloud the
other night, and took that occasion to
hint toward a reconciliation with the
Sawyers, who haven't spoken since their
cat went home on the fly with an
abraded skin, the result of Jones dem
onstrations in science. So she found
some philosophical reflections concern
ing living in peace with ones neghbors,
which ended by declaring that the hap
piest moments of peoples lives were
when they had reconciled difficulty
with their neighbors. etc.
"'Tisn't so,'' snarled Jones, who was
crosser than a pet lamb. 1.-The happiest
moment of your life is when you have
driven everybody else out and hold the
fort yourself; at least that's the way ii
looks to n man up tree"
''Mr. JONES'" said his wife, severely,
81 wish you would not swear so before
the children
Didn't use single swear word, y
grumbled Jones.
factions spead louder than words, "
retorted Mrs. Jones, and there was a
brief silence; then Maria forgot to be
mad, and remarked:
Bridget says they've had an awful
time in at Sawyer's."
"Eh, glad of it, growled Jones.
"The children told their mother that
their pa gave Annie-that's their kitch-
en- girl-a pair of diamond earrings"
"Good heavens" exclaimed Jones,
getting interested, II never thought
Tom Sawyer was any better than he
ought to be!'
"Oh, it turned out all right; yester-
day was her birthday. The earrings
were for her; solitaires-what luck that
woman has!''
"Why, Maria, how unreasonable you
are! You might have had diamond ear
rings, too, if you would ever consent to
have your ears bored"
"My ears have been bored ever since
I knew you, without my consent" said
Mrs. Jones, "but I've never had any
diamond earrings"
Maria Jones was going to con-
tradict her, but he didn't. He grasped
his hat and cane and said he would take
a turn in the fresh air.
But that night he had a sweet revenge.
In the dead calm hour when witches
walk the earth and sheeted students
prowl around country church-yards, Mr..
Jones laid cold hand on Maria.
"St-st-st," he whispered.
Mrs. Jones gave scream that woke
the policeman on the next block.
"W-w-what is it?' she gasped.
Nothing" said Jones, in sleepy
tone, you're not afraid of bat are
you?'
"Oh-h-h," screamed Mrs. Jones,
dragging the bed-clothes over her head.
"Oh-h-h, Jeptha, get up and put it
out!''
"Shan't do IL" said Jones in blood
curdling whisper. I'm not afraid il
you are.'
"Oh Jeptha dear. darling Jeptha, il
you have any regard for me-your own
Maria-get up and put the dreadful
thing out. 1t would kill me if it few
on the bed! / know it would -
1T isn't that kind of bat," said
Jones, sleepily g it is not of the cheirop-
ferrous species
"What is it!'' gasped Mrs. Jones, in q
voice suffused with bed-clothes.
Its a baseball bat" answered
her husband, sweetly. Goodnight,
Maria. Detroit Post and Tribune.

Hanging on the wall in a lawyers
office was cage in which was star
ling. He had taught the little fellow
to answer when he called it. A boy
named Charlie came in one morning.
The lawyer left the boy there while he
went out few minutes. When he
returned the bird was gone. He
asked, "where is my bird ?"
Charlie replied that he did not
know anything about it.
But" said the gentleman, "Char-
lie, that bird was in the cage when
went out. Now tell me all about it.
Where is it ?''
Charlie declared that he knew moth
ing about it--that the cage door was
open, and he guessed the bird had
flown out.
The lawyer called out, "Starling,
where are you ?''
The bird spoke right out of the
boys pocket, and said just as plain as
it could:
"Here I am"
D All, what fix that boy was in |
He had stolen the bird, and hid it, as
he supposed, in safe place, and had
told two lies to conceal his guilt, and
now camea voice from his own pocket
which told the story of his own guilt.
1t was testimony that all the world
would believe. The boy had nothing
to say. The bird was a living wit
ness that he was thief and a liar.
We have not all of us a starting ;
but we have conscience-noti in our
pocket, but in more secure place
in our souls and that tells the story
of our guilt or our innocence. AS the
bird answered when the lawyer call.

science will reply, and give such tes-
timony as we cannot deny or explain

The Fuel Con.pony,s Suit.

A special from Burlington of the End
says: Judge Joshua Tracy, president of
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids 81 Northern
Railroad company, Sin an interview to-day
in regard to the suit of the Northwestern
Fuel company against the railroad
company, pronounced the proceeding of
the fuel company to be a sort of black
mailing scheme which does not amount to
much. Mr.. Tracy said his company were
ready to carry out the contract with the
fuel company, but that the Minneapolis &
st. Louis, Railroad company refused to
haul the fuel company's cars from Albert
Lea to Minneapolis on the terms stipu-
lated in the contract. Judge Tracy holds
that the Minneapolis & st. Louis company
is the party liable for the non-fulfllment
of the contract, If any liability attaches,
which he does not admit. He says his
company Will secure an injunction against
further attachment of its property by the
fuel company, and that until then none of
the rolling stock of the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern Railroad company will
be run into Minnesota, though means will
be taken to prevent any interruption of
the business of the company.
