Boys Who Succeed.

The head of large business firm in
Boston, who was noted for his keenness in
discerning character, was seated at his
desk one day when young Irish lad came
up, took off his hat, and smiling, said !:
"Don't you want boy, sir ?" az did
not moment ago. But [ do now, and
you are the boy" said Mr.. j. He said
afterwards that he was completely cap
tured by the honest, frank, all-alive face
before him. The boy entered his service,
rose to be confidential clerk, and is now a
successful merchant.
Thirty years ago Mr.. H., nurseryman
in New York state, left home for day or
two. 1t was rainy weather, and not the
season for sales; but customer arrived
from distance, tied up his horse, and
went into the kitchen of the farmhouse,
where two lads were cracking nuts. els
Mr.. H. at home p "No, SIR" said the
eldest, Joe, hammering at nut "When
will he be back ?" Dunno, sir. Mebbe
not for a week." The other boy, Jem,
jumped up and followed the man out,
1.-THE men are not here, but l can show
you the stock" he said, with such a
bright, courteous manner that the stran.
ger, who was little irritated, stopped
and followed him through the nursery
examined the trees, and left his order
"You have sold the largest bill that
have had this season, Jem," said his
father, greatly pleased, on his return
"I'm sure" said Joe, "I'm as willing tc
help as Jem, if l thought in time" A
few years afterwards these two boys were
left by their fathers failure with but
5000 and $500. Joe bought an acre OF
two near home. He has worked hard
and is still poor, discontented man
Jem bought an emigrant's ticket to Colo
RADIO, hired as cattle driver for a couple
of years, with his wages bought land al
forty cents an acre, built himself house
and married. His herds of cattle arr
numbered by the thousand, his land hal
been cut up for town lots, and he il
ranked as one of the wealthiest men il
the state. az might have done like Jem,
his brother said,. lately, " if I'd thought il
time. There's as good stuff in me as il
him." "Theres as good stuff in that loaf O.
bread as in any ever made" said hi
wife; " but nobody can eat it; there's no
enough yeast in it."
The retort, though disagreeable, wa
true. The quick, wide-awake energ,
which acts as leaven in a character, i
partly natural. But it can be inculcate,
by parents, and acquired by boy, if h
chooses to keep his eyes open, and to &C
promptly and boldly in every emergency

Notes and Comments.

To the question, "What is likely to be
the outcome next year p in recent in
terview upon presidential prospects, Henry
Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal says " You might as we'll forecast
horse race, the verdict of petit jury, or
the caprice of woman. No mans opin-
ion is worth anything"
THE balloon, in which it is proposed to
cross the Mediterranean from Marseilles
to Algiers, is named the Albatros. She is
under the direction of the aeronaut, Mr..
Jovis. The car, which holds comfortably
ten persons, is furnished with an air blad-
der which, it is said, will prevent the bal.
loon from being submerged. The aero
nauts have a special costume, waterproof
and buoyant, that can be put on under
their other garments in case of need. The
great question is that of food and water.
The Albatros may perhaps be forced to be
almost stationary for several days.
BosroN TIMES: "That Blaine precipi-
tated the quarrel between Garfield and
Conkling has often been charged and de-
MED, but is generally believed. 1t is now
said that the Garfield papers, soon to be
published, contain letters and kilograms
which show that Robertson's appointment
as collector of New York was made at the
instance of Blaine, against Garfeld's wish
and judgment. Garfield was great and
good but amiable and weak. Blaine was
neither. But the quarrel belongs to the
past. President Arthur's sagacity will
keep it from entering the future. 1t ia
the most stupendously absurd fact of his
tory that one mans calling another "a
turkey-cock,' nineteen years ago, should
have changed national destiny"
DIR. ALBERT DAY of Boston says that
one of the chief predisposing causes Of
inebriety is civilization, entailing, as il
does in its modern development, so grea,
an expenditure of nerve force. Its action
in this way is seen more among those who
i've by brain work or are engaged in in
door occupations. He also holds that at
mospheric influence is another undoubtet
exciting cause of this affection, par
oxysm, for example, being caused by ex
posture to sea air, easterly winds and som,
similar changes. 1t has been said tina
there is an Unborn element in the nature
of man which develops inebriety. " Coul'
we trace the cause of this" he adds, " w
should doubtless find that the whole rae
is tainted with this disease, coming dow
to us through the ages in obedience to tn
laws of heredity. Our fathers from eal
lest history were addicted to drunken
ness"

THE BLUE JAY.

O Blue Jay mp in the maple tree.
Shaking your throat with such bursts Of glee,
How did you happen to be 40 bue7
Did you steal bit Of the lake for your crest,
And fasten blue violets into your vest?
Tell me, pray you,-tell me true
Did you dip your wings in azure dye,
When April began to paint the sky,
That was pale with the winters stay?
Or were you Matched from bluebell bright,
Meath the warm, g1ldbreast of a sunbeam light,
BY the river one blue spring day?
o Blue Jay up in the maple tree,
A-tossing your saucy head at me,
with ne'er a word for my questioning,
Pray, cease for moment your i" tlng-a-link,"
And hear when tell you what think
You bonnest bit of the spring
think when the fairies made the flowers,
To grow in these merry fields OF ours,
Periwinkles and violets rare,
There was left OF the springs own color, blue,
Plenty to fashion flower whose hue
Would be richer than all and as fair.
SO putting their wits together they
Made one great blossom 30 bright and gay,
The lily beside It seemed blurred,
And then they said 1--WE will toss 1t in air;
So many blue blossoms grow everywhere,
Let this pretty one be a blrd!'

AROUND THE RANcHE, by Belle Kellogg
Towne. V. |. F. Series Boston: D. Lothrop & Co.
Price S1.25 Here is a story by new author
which will at once attract the attention of its
readers. The scene is laid partly in Colorado
and partly in an Eastern city. The principal
character is spirited, impetuous girl, reared
among the mountains, but ambitious for i'm
provement. She is made the central figure Of
many vivid pictures of life among the miners,
and her experiences in the city, chatting against
the restraints Of society, but finally achieving
her purpose to "get to the top are so sketched
as to give the narrative cumulative interest
to the end. For sale by Phinney.

Boston. Houghton, Miflin g. Co. Price SIPS.
The Boston Advertiser speaks thus of this
charming book: Z" 1t is French story, simple

lovely and natural women the lover is a good,
manly, but not remarkable young physician.

De Marzac, count and journalist, whose out
side show of virtue almost deceived his own
conscience; the Russian patriot, betrayed by
his friend and unconsciously avenged by his
widow; the Spanish courier, with his faithful
service and his silent vengeance; all the sub
ordinate characters, even the servants are
clearly brought out and drawn. Every touch
is both strong and delicate. The CONVERSE

Tuesday evening,

some cause, has failed to write up
an account of this pleasant affair, it
is incumbent upon us to do so, and
IS said reporter has never told our

The costumes of the gentlemen
on this occasion were unusually ele-

PRESS COMMENTS
On the Three Vile Law
How Ii Works.

From every town, with the excep-
ton of Prescott, Conway and Claren-
don, where the three-mile law is in
operation, comes the emphatic an
nouncement that the law is doing
great good.
Says the Benton Review: The To-
cal option law is doing good work in
Benton and many other towns in the
state. If wisdom prevails, the legis-
ture will not change the present law
Augusta Vidette; The hundreds
of crimes that have been committed
in the state during the past two weeks
by men who were drunk on whisky
sold under a license, proves very
clearly that however well you may
regulate the sale Of whisky, you can
do very little towards regulating the
effect it will have on those who drink
it. 1t makes demons of the best of
men.
There is nothing which builds up
country like liquor, especially the
grave yard sections of it. We con-
graduate Dardanelle on being free
from it-Dardanelle Post.
The Pope County Reflector tells
in the following how Christmas was
spent at Atkins, and draws con-
trast between 1881 and 1889:
With the exception of two or three
drunks the whole week passed quiet
ly away, and to have compared the
town as it was seen last week with
the sights and sounds of two years
ago, one could have scarcely realized
that the same men and women were
dwellers therein at the two periods
mentioned, Two years ago it was
fashionable TO get drunk, and swag-
ger and brawl about the streets.
Now It is quite Questionable, and
is looked upon as disgrace even
upon holiday occasions for men TO
stagger around, fall in the cutters
and be picked up out Of the dirt.
No sensible friend of the present
law had any hopes that there would
be no violations of it. But those Of
