Benny's Last Ride.

Benny's uncle gave him a bicycle.
He was very proud OF it, and soon
learned to ride.
His parents lived near the railroad
depot, and his mother was constantly
worried lest Benny should get in the
way of the cars. Almost every day she
would remind him of her wish that he
should not ride his bicycle across the
track, even though no trains were near.
But Benny thought himself to be quite
man, and thought his mother was too
careful. Other boys rode across the
track, and why shouldn't he? So he rode
across few times when no train was
near. This made him bolder and he
felt sure his mother was more careful
than she need be.
One day he came riding toward the
crossing Just as the train stopped at the
depot. 1t had crossed the street he was
on, so he thought there could be no
harm for him to keep on and pass just
in the rear of the last car.
"They will either stand still or move
on" he thought. sin either case it
will be all right. So here goes"
But he soon found it all a0ronq. Just
as the wheel struch the iron track it
slipped, and Benny fell. At the same
instant the train began to move back
ward instead of going forward. Benny
was unable to get out of the way in
time, and the car-wheels crushed his
right leg.
A surgeon was sent for. and Benny's
leg was cut off above the knee. He
was ill for long time, and had a great
deal of pain. He is now able to go
about on crutch; but he can never
ride his bicycle again, nor run about as
other boys do.-Our Little Ones.

IS THAT SO?

There is certain remark floating
about that seems to be u homeless sort
of thing, belonging TO no one, and much
in want of reputable father. 1t does
not often get Unto print. 1t seems to
prefer to avoid publicity. Nearly every
boy has this street proverb repeated to
him by some well meaning, but igno-
rant person, just as he leaves the school.
The remark is this: "a Jack at all
trades and good at none"
Solemn subject, is it not? Let us see
about that You observe it does not
come out il square, manly fashion and
tell us that Jack" at all trades is
good as none. For all that, this may
be so. What is "Jackp" 1t appears
to mean clownish, awkward fellow, or
a simpleton. it is quite possible that
such fellow is not good in any trade,
is not good workman in any business.
If we look deeper into the matter we
find Jack" also means common kind
of workman, like a peasant; and from
this meaning we got our words ''jack
plane" shoot Jack" 'smoke jack"
and any others, all meaning some COM
mon rough kind OF work or tool. Now
we begin to see what solemn nonsense
this is. Of course, "Jack" is good
in none. Such a fellow is never good
in anything. The whole thing can be
stated in this way. A poor workman
is never good for anything. So far
there is only kind of dreary wisdom
in the proverb, "a JACK at all trades
and good at none" The whole thing
would not be worth remembering, if it
were not for the fact that so many peo-
pie repeat it under the impression that
they are saying something very fine. 1t
sounds well and gives the speaker u
comforting sense of superior wisdom.
''My son, listen to the words of a
sage. Do not be a Jack at all trades
and good at none"
Now a sensible boy on hearing this
would say:
Thank you, l do not intend to be a
Jack at anything. | mean to be a
tirst-class workman, whether L make
sermons or carriages, poems or sewing
machines. l am not Jack ut all. "
The whole trouble with this thing is
Just here. 1t is a cowardly saying be-
cause it implies dishonesty. 1t is a
sneer at every one to whom the Lord
has given two talents, and that means
nearly all of us. 1t does not squarely
say you must have but one trade,
and talks about Jacks when nobody
ever means to be Jack" 1t has
done vast deal of harm by the very
dishonesty of the wording and the way
people use it. If it means Jack at
all trades is good in none, it is simply
stupid. But, no, people give it a false
twist as though il meant to say: "You
must never have but one trade, for, il
you do, you will be good in none OF
| them''-which is not true.
This remark plainly originated in
| Europe, because the word Jack is from
the French and meant peasant 1t is
not an American saying; it is, in the
usual sense given to it, wholly false and
it is not the right thing to say to any
American boy or girl.
Boys and girls just leaving school,
have seen much of trades and work,
and knoW this to be true; The good
workmen, the men and women who
succeed, who accomplish things, almost
invariably have two trades. They are
not "Jacks" in either, butmaster work

LYNCH's SPEECH.

Mr.. Lynch, in taking the chair, said;
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONvENTION-I
feel that ought not to say that l thank
you for the distinguished honor that you
have conferred upon me, for L do not.
Nevertheless, from the standpoint that
no patriot should fail to respond to his
country's call and that no loyal member
of his party should fail to comply with
the demand OF his party, yield with re-
luctance to your decision and assume the
duties of the position which you have as
signed me. Every member of this con-
vention who has approached me within
the last few hours knows that this posi-
ton was neither expected nor desired by
me. If, therefore, there is any
such thing as man having honors
thrust upon him you have an exempli1ca-
ton of it in this instance. Laughter
and applause. l came to this conven-
tion not for the purpose of securing the
defeat of any man or the success of any
man, but for the purpose of contributing
TO the extent of my vote and my influence
to make Republican success in November
next an assured fact. [Cheers.l l hope
