A BOYS EcoNoMY.-Ab boy seven
or eight years old was passing
along Elizabeth street yesterday
With a dime in his fingers. when
another boy accosted him with:
"What ye going to buy?''
"Camphor.'' '-
"What for?"
'.To keep moths away
"Say," said the second boy, as he
came nearer, ''Tll tell you what I'll
do. If you'll spend five cents O
that for candy I'll lend you my dog
all one day to hunt down the moths,
and if he don't catch 'em all I'll
lend you the bossest rat-trap in this
city! You can just as well save
five cents as not."-Detroit Free

THE NoTE WAS PAm.-When
Jackson was President q boarding
house keeper in Washington called
on him to complain that q certain
department clerk had not paid his

at her mildly and said: "Get his
note for what he owes yon and
bring it to me-" A few days after
she came back with the note. The
President wrote on the back Of it,
"Andrew Jackson and said:
.Take it to the bank and they will
give you the money-and that note
will be paid" He was right. 1t.

A BOY WHO WAS THROUGH.

A young New Englander, whose
knowledge was more snowy than
deep, went many years ago to
teach a district school in Virginia.
Among his pupils was a small,
rather dull and Insignificant look
ing boy, who annoyed him by his
questions. No matter what the SUBJ
ject under discussion, this lad ap-
parently never could get near
enough to the bottom of it to be
content.
One warm August morning, the
teacher, with no little vanity in a
knowledge universal in those days.
began to lecture to the boys on the
habits and characteristics Of a fish
which one of them had caught dur
ing recess. He finished, and was
about to dismiss the school, when
his inquisitive pupil asked about
their gills and their use.
The question answered, others
followed, concerning the scales,
skin, flesh. The poor teacher strug-
gled to reply with all the informa-
tion at his command. But tbet was
small, and the day grew warmer,
and the Saturday afternoons hol-
.iday was rapidly slipping away.
s"The school will now be dis
missed" he said, at last.
'.But the bones! You have told
US nothing about the bones!' said
the anxious boy.
Mr.. Dash smothered his annoy
ance, and gave all the information
he could command on the shape,
structure and use of the bones.
. "And now. the school. be-
gan.
'|What is inside of the bones?"
stolidly came from the corner where
the quiet boy was sitting.
Mr.. Dash never remembered
what answer he gave, but the ques-
ton and his despair fixed them
selves in his memory. Thirtv-iFe
years afterward he visited Wash
ington and entered the room where
the Justices of the Supreme Court
were sitting. II
The Chief-Justiee, the most learn
ed and venerated man Of his day,
was man like St. Paul, whose bod
lily presence was contemplate.
The stranger regarded him at
first with awe, then with amaze
ment.
'It is the boy who went inside Of
the fsh's bones!' he exclaimed.
1t is the boy who penetrates to
the heart Of the matter who is the
successful scholar and afterwards
lawyer, physician, philosopher or
statesman.
1t is the man whose ak is laid to
the root, not the outer branches,
whose religion is a solid foundation
for his life here and beyond.

So the story ended; and in his

THAT AWFUL COWBOY,

He wore but one suspende',
And with neither coat or vest;
He was on high old bender
In peaceful town out West;
His muddy bomespun trousers
Were in his boot-legs stuck,
And his yells at times. old rousers,
He said were "just for luck "
He had big horse-pistol.
And he stated he could smash
A small sized watch's crystal
At hundred yards, for cash.
He wore no tie or collar,
And his shirt, 1ot over fine,
Cost just one-half 4 dollar
In the days OF "Auld Lang Syne."
He scorne6 the town officials,
Unmindful of their stars,
And carved uncouth initials
On the village liquor bars, st
He seemed to have no money,
And Whene'er he took drink .
He called the landlord Sonny,
And paid him With wink.
With noisy song and whistle
He on a horseblock sat,
And fired his old horse-pistol
At the mayors bee-gum hat,
He paled the ladies' faces
With his loud, sardonic laugh
Andimsde uncouth grimaces
At the constable and staff.
But fellow met this cowboy
And caught him by the ear,
And said, quite coolly, Now. boy,
'Tis time you get from here!"
Then he shook up his digestion
In way that raised laugh,
And proved beyond question
That the cowboy was a calf.

time she's caught stealing she'll have to
he taken care of. p"
Trotty knew what that meant. and he
began to cry. Carlo thumped his black
tail hard upon the floor and growled
little. He didn't like to hear Trotty
cry. Maybe he didn't want Nan taken
care of just in that way. either.
But the next time Nan was caught
stealing, it was Carlo who caught her.
Nan jumped up on the table and be-
Gan to lap cream out of bowl. Carlo
erowled and showed his teeth.
Nan jumped down again in great
hurry. Carlo took her in his mouth and
shook her. and dropped her beside the
stove. Then he trotted out to his ken
mel, and pretty soon he came back with
chicken bone.
He laid that down before Nan with a
little purring growl.
There" said he, .'eat that and don't
steal any more cream. If you do
At least that is what mamma, who
was watching. told Trotty that Carlo
said; and she had to tell the story more
times than half-a-dozen.
And nobody has caught Nan in a

Wonders in Store for Us.

Remarkable as have been the ad-
vances in the uses to which electricity
can be put, according to Prof. Melville
Bell the future has even greater sur
nrises in store for us. He thinks the
time will come when electrical and tel
ephonic messages will be sent without
wires. The message bearer will be the
rays of the sunlight. The so-called
electrical action is simply vibrations in
the air, which produce certain results
at distant points; and Prof. Bell is OF
opinion that inventive genius will yet
enable us to make use of-imponderable of
agents to transmit messages between
distant localities. Indeed, there are
enthusiasts who now think that we will
ultimately be able to communicate with
sentient beings in other planets. 1t has
been demonstrated that the materials
which compose the heavenly bodies are
identical, and it is fair inference thai
creatures corresponding to our own
race, with the same kind of faculties,
people them If so, we may perhaps
vet have friendly chat with the inhab-
itants of Venus and Mars, and probably
other worlds in solar systems bcyonc

Want to Rclinquish their Reservation.

We are informed by gentleman who
resides here, says the Benton Record. that
The Man Who Throws Himself-on- the
Lodge ian influential Indian belonging to
the Eclknap Agency says that his tribe
have been discussing the reservation ques-
ton, and they were unanimously in favor
of relinquishing all the western part of the
reservation from point about fifty miles
below Belknap on Milk river They want
a new agency built on the reservation as
cut down, and annuities to pay them fer
the territory relinquished. They desire to
go into the business Of stock raising. The
Indians have heard of the Congressional
Commission and are very desirous of hav-
ing it. visit their reservation. hoping to
bring about through its report the change
above indicated. This Indian said furth-
er that Little Chief, the principal chief Of
his tribe, was strongly in favor Of such an
arrangement. This would open to settle
ment the Bear Paw and Little Rockies
regions, very desirable sections Of country.
while the Indians would continue to hold
an almost equally valu: ble tract. of an
area ample for their accommodation.

Says the Helena Independent: The
railroad trestles this side of Mullan tunnel
were completed the latter part of last
week sufficiently for construction trains to
cross, since when track laying has been
going on rapidly. The track yesterday
was expected to reach the point where it
will leave the main grade and enter upon
the overhead route. On this track laying
will he slow, as the sharp curves render it
necessary to be very exact in the work,
beside the difficulty necessarily attendant
upon performing such work. Work in
the tunnel is going steadily on. Saturday
morning only about ninety feet separated
the two forces of men employed in cutting
out the headings. This has by this time
probably been reduced to seventy-tive
feet, and in two or three more weeks the
headings will meet, should no accident
occur in the meantime to cause delay
The great work is rapidly approaching
completion.

Price, Ten Gents.

A party under Engineer Miller are now
at work making preliminary survey OF
the proposed railroad route to Wickes.
They commenced last Thursday at the
Wickes end OF the route and have got
down nearly to Clancy. Thus far, we are
informed, the road if built on the route
surveyed would have grade Of some
thing over two feet and half to the hun
dred. or about 145 feet to the mile. From
Clancy down to the point where the pro-
posed road will strike the man line TAT
the crossing of the Little Prickly Pear}
the grade will not much exceed fifty feet
