THAT BAD BOY.
REFORMING THE OLD MAN.

Il guess I've fixed pa this time
time so he will never touch liquor
again. said the bad boy. Il scared
him so his bald head turned gray
in single night"
"What under heavens have you
done to him now2" asked the gro
Ger man, in astonishment. Il hope
you haven't dore anything you will
regret in after years.
Regret nothing" said the boy,
as he turned the lid of the cheese
box back and took the knife and
sliced off piece of cheese and took
q few crackers out ola barrel, and
sat down on a soap box by the
stove. "You see ma was annoyed
to death with pa. He would come
home full, when she had company,
and lay down on the sofa and snore,
and he would smell like a distillery.
1t hurt me to see ma cry, and l
told her I would break pa of drink
ing if she would let me, and she
said if 1 would promise not to hurt
pa to go ahead, and I promised not
to. Then I got my chum and
another boy, quite big boy, to
help and pa is all right. We went
down to the place were they sell
arms and legs to folks who have
served in the army, or saw mill, or
a threshing machine, and lost their
limbs, and we borrowed some arms
and legs, and fixed up dissecting
room. We fixed long table in the
basement, big enough to lay pa out
on, you know, and then we got
false whiskers and mustaches, and
when pa came in the house drunk
and laid down on the sofa, and got
to sleep, we took him and laid him
out on the table, and took some
trunk straps and a sircingle, and
strapped him down to the table.
He slept right along all through it,
and we had another table with the
false arms and legs on, and we
rolled up our sleeves and smoked
pipes, just like l read that medical
students do when they cut up
a dead man. Well, you'd dide to
see pa look at us when he woke up.
l saw him open his eyes, and then
we began to talk about cutting up
dead men. We put hickory nuts
IN our mouths so our voices would
sound different, so he wouldn't
know us, and I was telling the
other boys about what a time we
had cutting up the last man we
bought. I said he was awful tough,
and when we had got his legs off
and had taken out his brain, his
friend come to the dissecting room
and claimed the body, and we had
to give it up, but I saved the legs.
I looked at pa on the table, and he
began to turn pale, and he squirm-

LITTLE All SID.

Little Ah Sid
Was Chris .ian Kid
A cute little cuss, you'd declare
With eyes full of fuu
And nose that begun
Right up at the roots of his hair.
Jolly and fat
Was this frolicsome brat,
Is be played through the long summer day,
And braided his cue
As his father used to,
In Chinaland, far away.
Once Ger lawn
That Ah Sid played upon,
A bumbebee few in the spring.
Mclean butterfyp
Said he, with winking eye,
"Me catchee and pull off um wing"
Then with his cap
He struck it q rap.
This innocent bumblebee-
Aud put its remains
In the seat of his jeans,
For pocket there had the Cbinee.
Down on the green.
Sat the little sardine,
In style that was strangely demure,
And said with grin,
That was brimful of sin,
.'Me mashee um butterfly, sure,''
Little All Sid
Was only kid
Nor could you expect him to guers
What kind of bug.
He was holding so snug
In the folds Of his loose-fitting dress.
"Ki-ya! Ki-yip-yew
Alb. Sid cried, as he
Rose hurriedly up from that spot,
''Ka-yi! Yuk-a-kan!
Dam um MeIlican man!
Um butterfly belly much hot?"

Written for the Cultivator and Dixie Farmer.
/ wonder what is the matter with
our folks-what makes stealing
and suicide so popular of late, with
our people. No, l don't wonder
very much either, for I think I
know. Every time I take up a
newspaper now days, | find
fresh case; somebody gone to his
death by his own hand. These
seem to be two favorite modes of
getting out of trouble-to steal out
or die out. I don't allude to small
pilfering by willing thieves, but
stealing by respectable, well-raised
people-stealing with "good inten-
tions," the kind that the old preach
er said "hell is paved with Steal
ing by degrees to get money to
speculate upon and make more
money to pay it back with, and
have enough left to splurge on and
live high and keep up with society
or a little ahead. It is an easy
thing to spend other peoples
money, and it is still easier when
the money belongs to the public or
a corporation with great many
members. If Mr.. Polk or Mr.. Vim.
cent had been the treasurer of one
rich man, they would have never
thought about stealing two or three
hundred thousand dollars from him.
1t is a kind Of consoling idea that
stealing from the State, don't hurt
anybody much, even if the specu-
lation fails and the money can't be
paid back, The loss is only about
so or rs cents piece all around to
the people and nobody will be
hurt very much after all. It won't
make anybody so dreadful mad.
And that is a fact. 1t don't
make anybody very mad; they
make a good deal of noise about
it, but 1 saw in one paper, that Mr..
Polk had the sympathy of large
circle Of friends. Plundering the
public has got to be so common,
that it don't surprise anybody very
much and is looked upon as sort
of privilege that belongs to the
Office Of treasurer, or cashier, or
member of Congress. The exam
pie is set at Washington by those
in high places, and it has spread all
over the country. When it sue
ceeds it is smart and sharp and
shifty; when it fails or is discovered
a big fuss is made and sometimes a
mock trial and that is the end of
it. Georgia, Alabama, and Ten
nesse, have had trouble with their
treasurers-the same sort of trou-
ble-all growing out Of using
the States money, and I see
that the treasurer of the city of
Savannah has been doing the same
thing. Cashiers and other bank
officers, are subject to similar temp
tations, and every now-and-then
get caught and go up. That is
worse than plundering State, for
the circle of injured persons is
smaller and their individual loss
much greater. A mans condem-

Gone to her DEATH"
Or like Goldsmith wrote about:
When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And learns too late that men betray,
What art can soothe her melancholy,
What charm can drive her grief away
The only art her grief can smother
And stihe every burning sigh,
And bring repentance to her lover
And wiring his bosom-is to die!

In the general reception room Of

More perfect mach:nery1has suppressed

Years ago what is now styled the
old-fashioned porous plaster did some
good service. There was then moth
ing better of the kind. Now all that
is changed. Science and studies have
gone deeper int, the secrets of medi.

CINE POROUS PLASTER. which
embodies all the excellencies thus far
possible in an external remedy. The
old plasters were slow-the Capcine is
rapid; they were uncertain the Cap

you. In the centre of the genuine is

Complimentary Notes.

It gives us pleasure TO call the at-
ItentiOn Of our readers to the. series Of
advertisements of the James Boss
Gold Watch Cases now appearing in
our columns. This watch case has
been on the market for nearly thirty
years and has attained reputation
which IS second to none, it now b.
ing universally conceded to be the
standard. The james Boss Gold
Watch Cases are made Of two plates
Of solid fourteen karat gold, solderrd
on each side Of 4 plate of hard nickel
composition metal. These plates Of
gold are THICK enough to admit of en-
craving, CHASING, etc., and supply all
the gold needed for practical use.
while the composition plate furnishes
the strength and sOlidity needed III,
every watch case, and yet lacking in
those made of solid gold. Although
these Cases are good, and in some
points better than Il solid gold case,
the cost is only about One-hslf as
much. Many Of the James Boss Gold
Cases have been in constant use for
twenty-five years without wearing
through the gold. The manufacturers
furnish q guarantee with each cas-.
warranting 1T to wear twenty years.
and this guarantee means just what ii
says, for unlike other guarantees lur.
nished so often with watch cases, this
is signed by the manufacturers OF the
James Boss Gold Watch Cases. Pur-
chasers should avoid any watch case
unless the guarantee is signed, rs 9th
erwise it is not only worthless but is
intended so to be. and the absence OF
a reliable signature is fair Indication
that the manufacturer lacks faith III
his claims or'in his goods.
