Saved In a Bear Trap.


1t was nearly midnight, and Ben the
trapper sat by his cabin fire, enjoying
pipe before retiring, and his old yel-
low dog Rags, curled up in fox skin
by his side. ''Well, Rags, old boy, 1
think it is time we were turnin' in for
the night" he had just remarked,
when low tap made the dog prick up
his ears. ''Who can that beP" cried
the trapper, crossing to open the door,
and starting back as he confronted
dark Indian face, that looked ashy in
the freight. ''Ogla," he exclaimed,
what is it, anything wrong at the
fort?" ''Miss Daisy, the captains

Oh! Ogla 'fraid to go home and meet

The Injuns are never to be trusted"
Hastily drawing on great coat, TAX
ing his rifle, and lighting lantern,
he was ready to set forth, accompanied
by Rags, who ran ahead, leaping gaily
through the drifts. Almost in silence
the two men waded through the deep
snow toward Moose Lake, occasionally
shouting in hopes of a response. II

Ben at last, but just then loud, joyful
barking from Rags attracted their at
tention. 81 declare, if that ere dog

in that direction. Sure enough the
box had fallen and Rags was scratch
ing round it with might and main.
81 must have a peep. if I'm shot for
it!' said the old man in great excite
ment, lifting his lantern and peering
through the wires, but at the first look
he almost fell back in the snow as he
cried: ''If there amt them blessed
babes in the woods, safe and sound in
old Ben's trapr' A loud whoop of Joy
from Olga rent the air, and both lifted
the heavy box and gently raised the
two children from their cold resting
place. Daisy awoke bright and well
and so surprised to ind herself out in
the woods in Ogla's arms; but old Ben
shook his head sorrowfully as he laid
the still unconscious Jack by his cabin
fire and tried to rub little warmth
into his stiffened limbs, but iG was long
before the boy opened his eyes and
came slowly back to life. ''Another
half hour and he would "a been froze

He Wanted to Bounce Webster.

John Stetson, manager of the Monte
Christie Company, is also the proprie-
tor of one of the largest show-printing
establishments in the country. 1t is
located at Boston. OF Stetson's exper-
fence in the printing business there is
hard, wicked cruel story told. Stetson
occasionally INDUCES in wild, uncouth,
unheard of methods of spelling, not be-
cause he is phonetic or eccentric, but
simply because of his slight acquaint-
ance of the mode of spelling most in
vogue for several generations. Once
his foreman brought in for him to ex-
anime proof of a red, green, blue and
yellow three-sheet poster of one OF
Stetson's own shows, and for which he
had furnished the ''copy." Stetson
looked it over carefully, and, pointing
to a scarlet word, said, reprovingly:
THAT isn't the way l spelled that
word"
81 know it, replied the foreman,
'but you didn't spell it right That's
the correct way to spell it.
''Do you mean to say that you know
how to spell better than 1 doP 1 tell
you spelled it right"
81 haven't got anything to say about
it. Webster says this is the correct
way said the foreman rather sullenly.
..D-n Webster" shouted Stetson,
jumping up and dancing about the Of
flee in great excitement. ''Who the
- is Webster, any howP 1 didn't
know there was such man in the es-
tablishment. Discharge him instantly,
any way. l don't propose to have any
high-toned dude spoilers putting on
airs around this shop, Fire him out"

A Beautiful Figure.

Life is beautiful compared to a foun-
tain fed by a thousand streams that
perish if one be dried. 1t is silver
cord, twisted by thousand different
strings. that part asunder if one be
broken. Frail and thoughtless mortals
are surrounded by innumerable dam
gers, which make it much more strange
that they escape so long, than that they
almost all perish suddenly at last. We
are encompassed with accidents every
day to crush the mouldering tenements
we inhabit.
The seeds of disease are planted in
our constitutions by nature. The earth
and atmosphere when we draw the
breath of life are impregnated with
death; health is made to operate its
own destruction; the food that nour-
ishes contains the element of decay;
the soul that animates it by Nivifying
the first, tends to wear out by its owr
action; death turks in ambush alcug
the path.
Notwithstanding this is the truth so
palpably confirmed by the daily ex-
ample before your eyes, how little do
we lay it at heart! We see our friends
and neighbors among US, but how sell
dom does it occur to our thoughts that
our knell shall give the next fruitless
warning to the word. = Yonkers States

The Congressional Library.

The Congressional Library at Wash
ington is one of formidable proportions,
but it is considered that one half the
books which it contains are worthless
and should be weeded out 1t is ru-
mored that Western Congressman in
tends to introduce bill providing for
the appointment of commission, con-
sisting of five literary men of note and
five State librarians, to examine the
books in the library and decide upon
the half that should be kept. He pro-
poses the remaining half, numbering
nearly, if not fully, 100000 volumes,
shall be distributed among the various
State libraries. Now, if the books are
worthless in the literal sense of the
term, of what earthly use can they be
to any State hbraryP Better sell them
for paper stock, and for that purpose
they will be worth something.-Bostoaa

Speculating in Wall Street.

Speaking of Wall Street matters re-
minds me of a man who went into a
prominent newspaper Office in New
York few days ago and told the man
aging editor that he wanted position.
"What can you do?" asked the man.
aging editor.
predict the market" answered the
man gravely.
The editor looked him over carefully.
His visitor was seedily dressed and far
from prosperous in appearance. He
had wild eye and was evidently one
of the numerous victims of the Wall
street craze. II will predict the mar
ket for your paper, said he. '.for $50
a week"
'It you can predict it, why don't you
go down on the street and make mil
lion dollars in three weeksp" asked the
managing editor.
The visitor, however, could not be
argued out of his idea that he could
accurately foretell the movement of
stocks. He said that he had formerly
been mechanic and had good posi-
ton in an iron foundry, but that he
had fallen into the habit OF investing in
the bucket shops in Wall street, and as
a result had lost all his money. But he
discovered system at last by which he
was sure to win. The trouble was he
had no money to invest. He wanted to
predict for month or two for a news
paper until he could get little money
when he proposed to go down in the
street and make fortune. He was
questioned very closely by the editor,
who finally took an interest in him and
he was ordered to send his predictions
to the paper every Monday for month.
He began at once, and a month hence
an article will appear embodying his
predictions and his theory on invest
ments. 1t will probably be worth
reading, showing what lambs are, how
they act, and the manner in which they
lose their money on the street.
1t is odd that these amateur investors
can never be convinced that they stand
no chance in Wall street. 1t would
occur to any reasonable man that if
any one could make money with stocks
it would be men who had studied the
market all their lives and who make
business of the movements of the
ticker. The percentage which is left
for a casual man after the regular
brokers have been paid is remarkably
small. Take the members of the Stock
Exchange, the Produce Exchange, the
Mining Board, the Petroleum Exchange
of New York, the same exchanges in
Chicago and Boston, and add them up.
They number at rough guess perhaps
1000 men. These brokers all employ
clerks and have partners. The army
of people dependent upon them is
large. Most of them live we'll and
spend their money freely. These
thousands upon thousands of men
must all be paid before any money is
made by the lambs. Therefore, the
lamb is apt to be shorn. Brooklyn

Are Rich Men Happy?

Dio Lewis is in some respects crank,
and frequently is considerably way
''off' in his opinions, but he hits the
nail on the head when he talks as fol-
lows: But how can we bear an exist
ence, which measured by Vanderbilt's,
is pitiful failurep Are you sure, my
friend, that his lif. is such a magnif-
cent success? Ii a man were happy in
proportion to his possessions, which is
really the popular notion, then indeed
money would be the great good. Here
is gardener worth 500. He sings
while about his work, enjoys and di-
gests his dinner, watches his children
as they play among the flowers, and
seems contented. Suppose Mr.. Van
derbilt with his $500, 600, 600 were as hap
py in proportion to his WEALTH. He
would climb to the top of Trinity steeple,
face Wall street, yell and shrek his
tumultuous emotions, and in the mad
ness of his Joy leap into eternity.
Study his face when driving Maud s.,
and see if you think him very happy.
He retires from business at 60, because
his back is sore from the heavy burden
The strain has nearly crazed him.
People envy him Maud S. Poor fell
low, / wish he had a mare that could
60 in twenty seconds; but, even then,
he could not get away from the ghost
of the ''West Shore.
