"Whst have you eaten to-day ?" asked
the other sharply.
The man answered reluctantly and al
most in tone of apology.
"You see, sir-down there among the
lumber piles--how could I?'
John Proctor was q man more given to
action than speech. He addressed the
man now in clear, decided tones.
"Do you think you could hold on to my
back while carried you down to the
hotel 2"
"Why, sir 1t wouldn't be fit"
"Shut up Put your arms around my
neck"
The Office and bar. room of the hotel, a
pretentious structure of Eastlake architec-
ture, held its usual quota of respectable
loafers, when John Proctor entered with
the uncouth figure on his back. A CUR
gle of laughter ran through the crowd.
The majority fancied the young lumber
mans brain had been turned by his re.
cent losses, and that his dementia had
taken the form of violent development
of the weakness with which he had
hitherto been accredited. Their laughter
suddenly ceased when the young man
went straight to the clerk, saying, in clear,
ringing tones
"Give me the best room you have
This man, who saved my life last night
is badly hurt. Some of you," turning to
the idlers, "go at once for the surgeon of
the Atchison road"
A dozen men sprang forward to relieve
him of his burden, to help carry the poor
fellow to comfortable room, where he
was gently laid upon the bed. The suf'
ferer received those attentions in silence
His dim eyes stared incredulously about
the room, and into the kindly faces bend
ing over him. That anything like this
should happen to him How long would i,
last Would they let him have one good
nights rest before turning him out again
When once more on the desolate plain
wandering through sage-brush, mesquite
and soap-weed, it would seem like some
strange dream. But what was this ? Tht
stalwart young lumberman, speaking
huskily to the doctor:
"And mind, Mclean, do your best.
| owe him more than can tell you. Pu
him in good trim to take the foremanshiI
of my yard when get stocked up"
The silly old vsgrant buried his face il
the pillow and wept.-Selected.

he began his professional career as
lawyer.
There was one cider vendor by the
name of Krumm, who was q heartless
money.seeker. His disposition was as
sour as his miserable and fetid cider,
which he often sold to George at high
price. There was one occasion that made
Gilman Krumm smile. It was when he
saw money in the hands of others, and de-
sired to get possession Of it himself. The
poor drunkards would go to him to buy
cider, and If they unwisely let him see
that they had money, his eyes would
twinkle, and he would chuckle and laugh,
as he thought Of the easy manner of OBJ
tanning those shining pieces of silver and
gold. Then he would csjole these visit
ors, and offer them cider in which was
new rum, so as to effectually intoxicate
them. When they were thus grossly
intoxicated, he would put them out in a
rough room, near his barn and connected
with his piggery. Here he would keep
them for successive days. They would
drink his "switchel as long as their
money lasted. When their noises might
arouse the neighborhood, he would close
the heavy plank doors upon them, SO that
no shouts could be heard in the street. But
within there were groans, tears, yells and
incoherent babblings from time to time.
Then again, there were seasons of awful
profanity, and sacrilegious talking. One
drunkard would bet that he could pray
better than another. Another would say,
al can preach better than Parson Vose."
Then he would start out upon an inco-
herent story about Moses in the bulrushes.
This would call forth cheers and babblings
from the cider.crazed inmates of old
Krumm's dark room.
George Forest had an excellent and tai
ented wife. He had children that were
considered bright and intelligent. As
William grew older he expostulated with
his father, and used child-slcquence in
trying to persuade his father to cease
using Intoxicating liquor. One day Will
lam went to see old Krumm in order to
persuade him to give up the practice of
selling cider to his father. Old Krumm
at once put on his worstlooking counte.
nance, then belched out TRADE of abuse
against William. He said: "Cider is
good; it braces up your father and fits
him for labor. You, Bill Forest, only
want to deprive your father of the COM
forts and necessities of life. He will then
die the sooner, and you get the real estate
into your hands the sooner, you young
villain
William made little answer to this alb
surd speech, and soon left old Krumm to
60 on in his chosen deeds of evil. George
Forests family suffered in their feelings
from unkind and thoughtless people,
whose sneering remarks were as so many
daggers to the soul. Then, too, they suf-
fered from the want of many conven.
fences of life, and in some cases for the
actual necessities of life, such as proper
food and adequate clothing. Sometimes
there we're fearful scenes of profanity
at Elsmore cottage, which made that
home almost intolerable to live in; and
at times, the inmates were forced to fee
away to preserve themselves from violence.

The lady was sitting IN the midst of
her bundles at the shop counter. It
was plain enough to be seen from her
from her parcels, and from
her languid air that money was no
stranger to her purse.
Presently cheaply but tidily dressed
little girl approached with bunch of
pond-lilies in her hand.
80, arn't they lovely!" exclaimed the
dy."Cant you give me one, little

The little girl draws lily from the
bunch, rather reluctantly, and hands it
70 the lady, who seizes it with avidity.
Then, looking at the bunch. she asks
Il suppose you could spare me a
bud? 1t would look SO pretty with this
full-bloomed lily you know"
The girl selects a bud, and before she
car separate it from the others the lady
has it in her hand. With a most
gracious smile she says:
'I hope I'm not robbing you?"
70 no, mum; I brought 'em here on
purpose to sell 'em."
"Why, you don't mean to say that
you sell these beautiful flowers. How

The shad Season.

"Shad and herring are just about enterin g
the Potomac river from Chesapeake bay"
said an old fisherman to REPUBLICAN re-
porter last evening. "When they begin to
enter the river they will resemble small boys
going to circus procession-the fnny pro-
cession will be long and inccs5ant. Then it
will not be long until the famous Potomac
shad can be bought at very low prices"
" Have any shad been received YETI" asked
the reporter.
"Only one Potomac shad, and that one sold
readily for 53 / suspect that he-for it was
a buck shad-crossed overland from North
Carolina"
"Are any seines at work now along the
Potomac" queried the reporter.
Yes" was the reply, several winter
seines are now in operation. and the spring
seinos will begin in n few days"
What is the difference between winter
and spring seinesW
winter seines are only about one mile
long, while spring scines extend from five to
eight miles. Some of the spring seines are
operated by steam machinery"
Have any of the spring seines gone down
the river yet?"
"Yes, Capt. Robb has gone down with his
seine and crew. The seine is about five miles
long and the crew consists of fifty men. lie
fishes at point called The Gums"
who is the principal steam seine opera
tor~
Capt. William Knight. who fishes at Ferry
landing. His seine is eight miles long"
In conclusion the old fisherman stated that
very few Potomac herring have been received
so lar. lot of thirteen sold on Wednesday
for an almost fabulous price.
