They did not live in the house with e.o.
other. The girl was named Rnth
Holmes, and the boy was named .Jamas
Adams, and Ruth Holmes learned hos
not to cry. Somebody told her how
Once a great ugly boy pounded her and
she did not cry then, for she was varn
brave about crying. She was a hon.
skip-and-jump little girl, grandma said
and liked to play out doors. One f tim.
she fell off a fence and broke her Arm
and while the doctor was taking hold Of
it, and 1t was aching a good deal, she
cried only two tears. and they came of
themselves, just at the end when the
pain was very bad. Somebody asked
her how she kept herself from CRYING.
and she said she kept thinking to herself
fast as she could: 81 can bear it; I can
bearit." This was the way the n told
her that showed her how to keep from
crying. Grandma said the boy, Jamea,
Adams, was a kind of a cry-baby. He
heard how it was that Ruth Holmes
kept herself from crying when she had
her broken arm. and he thought he
would try the same way and stop him
self from being such a cry-baby. So
every time he got hurt or the bows
plagued him, or he could not do as he
liked to, or had to do what he did not
like to, or could not have what he
wanted, he said to himself-said it
thinking, not talking-.I can bear it;
I can bear it," and he stopped himself
from being a cry-baby. And after he
was a man he told grandma that when
very bad things happened to him he
remembered that little girl, Ruth Holmes
and thought to himself, 81 can bear
it; lean bear it," and he remembered it
till he was an old man.
At the close of the lecture Superin-
tendent Dick asked that all who never
cried should raise their hands. Next he
asked that all who would like to hear
crying should raise their hands. Not q
hand went up. Next he asked that all
who liked to hear themselves cry should
raise their hands. Three hands went
up slowly, part way, and then went
down. Lastly he asked them all to
show how they cried; whether with a
Won, wou, wou, or a wi, wi, wi, or q
squealy, wealy, wealy. They all began
to show how they cried, but this made
them laugh, and some of them laughed
SO, trying to cry, that they tumbled
over in a heap together.-Mrs. d. NJ
DiGz, IN Wide AWdke.

Pension Frauds.

"There are more tricks practiced in
the procurement of pensions than in the
whole of the other departments put to-
gether," said a Pension Office Exam
liner the other night.
'ln what direction are these mostly
attempted"
''The great bulk of them are colored
cases. Not that colored people are
given to fraudulent practices, but many
OF them are easier victims to designing
lawyers, and it is less difficult to per
senate a dead negro than a dead white
man. AS soon as a colored case comes
before the office it is subjected to an ex-
ira amount of scrutiny. A large pro-
portion of the colored widows drawing
pensions have remarked, and quite a
large number of claimants are not the
relicts OF soldiers at all, but mere dunn
mics put up by wicked lawyers and
others in place of the widows who have
long ago married and relinquished their
claims"
''How is this fraud managed?"
"Easily enough. A decent time is
allowed to elapse after the marriage,
and the frightened into honest
abandonment of her claim. Then an
other colored woman Is obtained who
makes the necessary affidavit before a
convenient notary who certifies to her
identity, and the rest is simple, straight
forward work, which is frequently put
into the hands of a decent attorney to
carry through in all good faith. When
a woman is about to remarry who is
likely to formally renounce her rights,
a member of the gang will protfer his
services to make the announcement in
due shape, 81 as to leave her free to con-
tract the new relation in safety. This
: the prelude to the proceedings [ have
poken of. She receives a sham permit
to marry from the pension office, with
perhaps a small extra payment that has
been promised her as a result of having
the thing done properly"
sis the law which limits the attor-
ney's fee for services in procuring a
pension to ten dollars in each case ever
evadedp"
.'They get over that very easily. The
common way is to have the pen
sioner declare before witnesses that he
wishes to make his attorney a present
OF, say, twenty per cent. In addition
to the ten dollars allowed. This pre-
vents all trouble. Then again. any of
the dishonest lawyers have three, four.
and sometimes five so-called firms.
One will open correspondence with q
would-be pensioner, or one who desires
his allowance to be increased. After
obtaining all the fee in advance for
necessary expenses a long delay ensues.
Then here comes a circular from an
other member Of the ring stating that

Willie and Dobbin.

Willie was visiting his grandmother,
who lived in the country. He thought
he was quite a man, but he was only
seven. His grandmother had a very
wise horse named Dobbin. Sometimes
John would put Willie on the horses
back while he led him to water. He
wa allowed to ride him alone,
though he often wanted to do so.
One day every n in the house was
busy, and no one thoughtof Willie. He
thought of himself, the naughty bowl
and this is what he did. He went to
the stable just to look at Dobbin. John.
was not there. Willie thought he would
take a little ride. Hemanaged to unite
the halter and climb upon Dobbin's'
back. (
Slowly he walked the horse out of the
stable, in the yard, and to the road.
No one saw him. He wanted but one
thing, a whip! Just then he saw a tree
with a little branch growing on it
that would do. He rode up, and with
some trouble broke it off. Then he.
struck Dobbin a sharp blow-harder
than he meant to. The good old horse
was much surprised. He kicked up his
heels and started at a quick pace down
lIle TOau. Wlllle cOulu not stop him.
He did his best, but the old horse was
too much for him. The poor little boy
was very much frightened. He dropped
his whip and chung to Dobbin's neck.
Soon they came to a large mud-pud-
die in the middle of the road. Willie
could hold on no longer. He slipped
off, and fell with a splash into the mud
dy water. Dobbin turned and trotted
home.
Willie's mother happened to look out
of the window as Dobbin came into the
yard. She ran to see what it meant.
Willie was missed, and his frightened
mother and grandmother ran down the
road to find him. They were much re-
lieved to see a muddy little figure COM
ing toward them. He was toe muddy
and too much ashamed to look at them,
but he was not hurt.
Not very much was said; but for ono
month Willie, the seven-years-old, al
most a man, had to be followed about
by a nurse, because he could not be
trusted!-Our Little Ones.

Chinese Futures -

There is no such speculation in China
as buying and selling futures. Two or
three years ago the chief official of q
province heard how Americans raked
in showers Of golden ducats in this
manner, and he used the funds of the
Government to speculate on the out
come of the opium yield. He sold short
and was busted all to shingles, and soon
found himself in the presence of the
chief Wang-Doodle of the Flowery
Kingdom.
"Where's them cash?" was demand
ed in a voice of thunder and lightning.
"Slid out" was the reply, in tones
which betrayed a desire to 90 off on a
blackberry excursion as soon as posi-
BILE.
"How-Hop, You are a defaulter! Get
ready to see the angels!'
And he was taken out and his paper
collar torn off without regard to his
ears. and a Chinese Sullivan walked up
to him and spit on his hands and
clutched a sharp sword and whacked
his head Off as slick as molasses running
down the outside of a dog. Since that
little episode no Chinaman wants any
future" in his. If he knew that the
country was certain to raise five hum
dred million bushels of turnips he
wouldn't dare sell for November deliv-
cry at ten dollars per bushel.-WuI

The stiff hats, so extensively worn BY
men, produce more or less injury. Pre-.

attacks that part of the head where

AS regards the head-covering, Of
women, the fashions have been for r sew
e err years favorable to proper form,
The bonnet and hat have become quite
small, and cover but little of the head
This beneficial condition, however. Is In
part counterbalanced by the weight d
false curls, etc, with which women dress
their heads. Addition with SOAP and
water should be performed once or twice
a week at. least, particularly to the head
