Nan would catch him, put him back IN
the box, and shut him up tight, and
then suddenly touch the lid, when he
would jump maybe half across the
room as briskly as if he were alive, and
looking so comical with his red face and
staring eyes.
At last Nan broke the box, which
spoiled that part of the play, but john
ny in day or so invented new way to
use the little man, who was now to be
an ogre, if you know what dreadful
thing that is.
First Johnny and Nan would build
tall, strong tower of blocks, with just q
little low door at the bottom.
This was to be prison for the ogre,
whom they then bravely sought out and
captured, and, pressing him down close
to the floor, they pushed him through
the low tower door.
As soon as he was in, and their hands
were off, he would spring up to his full
height inside the tower, and peer at them
wildly through crack, but he couldn't
get out, oh, no!
1t was such fun to play ogre that the
children did not tire of it for a great
while, but there came time when the
poor little jack who hadn't any box lay
forlorn and neglected among lot Of old
toys.
Cousin Ted came in one day and spied
him there. It is long lane that has no
turning, even for broken Jack-in. the
box, and now there was to be more fun
than ever with him.
"Pass him up here, Johnny" said
Ted, who at the same moment unfolded
handkerchief, and drew book toward
himself.
"What are you going to do with him?"
asked Johnny, wonderingly, as he
obeyed orders, and Nan left all her dolls
to run and see what was going on.
Cousin Ted put Jack on his middle
finger, and dressed two of his other
fingers in the handkerchief, and then
held the book at proper height before
them.
The effect was that OF an irresistibly
droll-faced man making. speech over d
desk.
This is the speech he made, with great
holdings of his head and great wavings
Of his hands:
Suppose the trees were all cheese,
The seas we're all Ink.
Its enough to make an old man shake,
And scratch his head and sink
With the last word down he sank out
of sight behind the book.
1t was so funny that Johnny and Nan
fairly danced up and down, and laughed
so hard that papa and mamma came hur.
rying in, and then, Of course, they had
to laugh, too.
Cousin Ted made the little red-faced
orator speak Lis piece over and over,
amidst wild applause, and from that
hour jacks vocation was settled.
He was to be lecturer, and every day
thereafter he had to make his speech
as often as anyone could be found to
listen to it, if it was hundred times.
But he will not stand it long he is al
most used up.
1t is mammals turn to have "Jack-
in-the-box" now. Nan called her to see
it only yesterday.
"Come, mamma !" she cried. "Here'f
4 little Jnck-in-the-box for you |"
The call came from the kitchen, ?
mamma went out there, when suddenly
from big peach-basket that stood on
the floor up sprung little Nan in the
greatest glee, with her curly hair, her
red cheeks and bright eyes, making the
dearest, sweetest little Jack that evcl
jumped up and down.

OUR JUVENILES.

What the Choir Sang About tho NeiU bonnet.
foolish little maiden bought a foolish little bonnet,
With q ribbon, and feather, and bit Of lace upon
IT,
And that tho other maidens OF the little town might
know 1t,
She thought she'd go to meeting the next Sunday
just to show 1t.
dime,
The getting OF 1t settled proved to be awork Of
time;
SO When twas fairly tied, all the bells had stoppai
their ringing,
And when she came to meeting, sure enough, the
FOLKS were singing.
% " foolish little maiden stood and waited at the
door;
And she shook her rufles out behind, and smoothed
them down before.
I" Hale ujah, halelujah !" sang the choir above her
head
" Hardly knew you'll hardly knew you'll" were the
words she thought they said.
This made the little maiden feel 30 very, very Cross
That she gave her mouth little twist, her head =
little toss;
Tor abe thought the very hymn thoy sang was al
about her bonnet,
with the ribbon, and the feather and the bit Of lace
upon It
And she would not wait to listen to the sermon or
the prayer,
but battered down the silent street, and hurried up
the stair,
FIJI ahe reached her little bureau, and in bandboI
on It
Had hidden safe from critics eye her foolish little
bonnet
Which proves, my little maidens, that each Of you
will find
In every Sabbath service but echo Of your mind
And the little head that's filed with silly little airs
Will never get 4 blessing from sermon or from
prayers.

,Iaek-in-the-HOa.

There had been at least three in the
family before this one, which was des-
tined to be the greatest fun Of all.
This was Mans. The first ones had
all belonged to Johnny, and he used to
laugh heartily when he was very little
fellow to see how he could brighten
great big men with Jack-in-the-box.
One man, peddler, who was sitting
In the kitchen, tumbled clear over on the
hoor when Johnny suddenly let !Jaek
pop out at him. 49,.
Uncle Edward threw his arms up into
the air, and grandpa lodged away into a
corner whenever Johnny ran up to them
Gith that terrible little man in the box.
Dut the fourth Jack-in-the-box was
Mans, and she kept it popping back and
forth 80 constantly that in day or two
it popped clear out Of the box on the
floor.
Then it was more fam than before, for

SIXTEEN CHILDREN AT ONE BIRTH.

SIXTEEN CHILDREN AT ONE BIRTH.
A man in Illinois, having sent to n
Washington journal a photograph of
five of his children who were born on the
same day, asserting that "no other man
can show a picture of tive," the news
paper quiets him with the following
statistics
Instances have been found where
children to the number of six, seven,
eight, nine and sometimes sixteen have
been brought forth at one birth. The
wife Of Emanuel Gage, a laborer near
Valladolid, was delivered the 14th OF
June, 1899, of five girls. The celebra-
ted Tarsin was brought to bed in the
seventh month, at Argenteuil, near
Paris, 18th Of July, 1779, of three boys,
each fourteen and half inches long,
and girl, thirteen inches. They we're
all baptized, but did not live over twen-
ty-four hours. In June, 1899, one
Maria Ruiz, Of Lucena, in Andalusia,
was successfully delivered of sixteen
boys, without any girls. Seven of them
were alive on the 18th OF August follow
ing. In 1885 n Muscovite peasant
named James Kyrlotf and his wife were
presented to the Empress of Russia.
This peasant had been twice married,
aud was then 10 years OF age. His first
wife was brought to bed twenty-one
times. namely. four times of four chill
dren each ilme, seven times OF Inree,
and len times of two, making in oil tif-
ty-seven children who were then alive.
His second wife, who accompanied him,
had been delivered seven times-once Of
three children, and six times of twins.
Thus he had seventy-two children by
his two marriages"

The following, from the Sioux City
Journal, has reference to lady we'll
known In Yankton, tho mother OF II. e.
Cutting, now Of Pierre:
CU11INo-Died, in Sioux City. at the resi-
dsnce Of her daughter. Mrs. g. u. -Woolwoith,
at AZ O'Clock Wednesday morning, October I'D,
month and udays.
Though the sad event was not entirely
unexpected, many friends will be rained
to learn Of the death Of this estimable
lady. She had reached Q ripe old age,
and in home where every thing that q
daughters care and love could do to
make smooth and pleasant her declining
years, she sank peacefully to rest, more
from a gradual burning out OF the lamp
OF life than from any particular disease.
The maiden name Of the deceased was
Lorensey s. Newell, and she was born in
AFFORD, N. H., September 9, 1907. At
that place she was married to Henry p.
Cutting, June 20, 1892. Mr.. Cutting
died In Wisconsin nearly twenty years
ago. Mrs. Cutting came to this city from
Woodstock, ILL.,, about sixteen years ago,
and from that time her home was with
her daughter, Mrs. @. d. Woolworth.
The latter and Eugene Cutting, of Pierre,
d. T., are the surviving children, she
having lost one son, Baxter. Mrs. Out
ting had been for many years member
of the Methodist church, and IN fact it
may be said that she was devoted
christian woman all the years of her
mature life.
The funeral will take place at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Woolworth at l O'Clock to.
morrow afternoon, and from there the
remains will be taken to the train to be
carried to Woodstock, ILL.,, where the
parents and other relatives of the de-
ceased are buried and by the side OF
whom she will be laid to rest. 1t liz ex-
pected that both Mr.. and Mrs. Wool
worth will accompany the remains,
though the former is absent from home,
but be has been telegraphed, and it is
hoped will be able to return IN time.

Turner County Democracy

AufnsF county democracy.
Hurley, Oct. 81, lss4-Last Saturday
witnessed the lion, Parker, and the lamb
Hurley, lying down together. You,
scribe. though black republican. was
very agreeably surprised at the fulfill.
ment of the saying, Behold how good
aud pleasant thing it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity" so vividly
displayed by the democrats of this
county. We really think the republi.
cans can learn lesson from this mas,
convention, namely, that majorities rule
and ought to; that the minority must
gracefully submit.
The following is their straight oat
ticket:
Register-J. L. McElhaney, Home.
Sherlf-J. II. Newly, Parker.
Clerk of Courts-A. Bentlesen, Marion.
Probute Judge-Roland Rees, Hurley.
Treasurer-J. F. Davis, Centreville.
District Attorney-C. d. Cone, Parker.
Assessor. M. GetcheI, Hurley.
Superintendent of Schools-Mlss Car
rie Turner, of Turner.
Coroner-Dr. r. L. Buchanan, Parker.
Surveyor-no nomination.
The venerable Uncle Dan. Dwyer, ST..
was chosen chairman OF the central COM
mittee. position he has held for yearp.
A slight innovation in the nomination
OF lady for superintendent will prove a
coed experiment, as we believe Dakota
has now several lady superlntendents.
and they give evidence of good work
beside it Is proper recognition of the
woman question" We expect to see
some Of this ticket elected.
