Advice to a Young Man.

And then remember, nv son, YOU
have to work. Whether you handle
a pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a
set of books, digging bitches or edit
ing paper, ringing an auction bell
or writing funny things. you must
work. Ii you look around, son, you
will see the men who are most able
to live the rest of their days without
work are the men who work the
hardest. Don't be afraid of killing
yourself with over work, so. 1t is
beyond your power to do that, on
the sunny side ofthirty. They die
sometimes, but it's because they
quit work at 6 P. NJ. and don't get
home until 2 A. NJ. It's the inter
val that kills, my son. The work
gives you an appetite for your meals
it lends solidity to your slumbers, it
gives you perfect and grateful ap-
probation of a holiday. There are
young men who do not work, my son;
but the world is not proud of them.
1t does not know their names, even
it simply speaks of them as old so
and SOS boys. Nobody likes then !;
the great busy world doesn't know
that they are there. So find
out what you want to be and
do. nay son, and take off your coat
and make a dust in the world. The
buster you are the less deviltry you
will be apt to get into. the sweeter
will be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the
better satisfied will the world be
with you.-Burdette.

EccentricIties of the Law

The contestants of a will in Troy
introduced testimony to show that
the testator forged the signatures
of the witnesses to the will.
At New Haven. Mo-. Justice Noe
ike was trying a case oflarceny when
the Sheriff arrested him for a viola
ton Of the Liquor laws. and carried
him off with the larceny case still
unfinished.
The latest incident sof note in the
Hill-Sharon divorce case at San
Francisco is a 500 fine imposed
upon one of Miss Hills counsel for
writing insulting letters to the grand
Jury which indicted her for
forgery.
A South Georgia grand Jury has
found an indictment against little
red bull whose daily business seems
to be to eat the wash off the clothes
lines" As he had no owner who
could be located, the animal him
self is to be dealt with.
A well-known criminal lawyer
has found, during life long prac-
tice, that a majority of those convic-
ted are innocent, and that a MAORI
ty of those acquitted are guilty.
This is a startling statement for
most people, but there are some
observers who will not think it
extravagant.

A Jockeys Trick.

Nowadays good Handicapped will
handicap horses so closely that an
ounce will tell at the finish and it
is an old saying that race horse
could be so handicapped tnat DON
key could beat it. Taking, however
two.horses of equal merit, and both
fit and well ridden, seven pounds
will make about a lengths difference.
This has been tried and demonstra-
ted.
Well. seeing all this, the "trick"
was worked in this way: The horse
had been beaten a head the day be-
fore by horse that was going to run
in this particular race, and the
weights were very similar, as there
had been no penalty for winning.
The jockey weighed all right, and
the willy owner walked down with
him to the starting post and left the
horse there, and then walked back
tOthe winning post. After the horses
passed tho post the course took q
sweep right away to the back of the
stand. The horse in question won but
evidently the animal was full of
running, or else the jockey couldn't
pull him up, as he swept round as
if he was going to run the race
over again. But the owner was
waiting, quiet accidentally of course
just where he pulled up. The own
er stepped up and slipped weight
into the Jockeys top boot He had
taken it out at the start and quietly
put it in his pocket and carried it
round to the finish 1t might have
been a ten pound weight for all any
one Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

Why He Brought Them Back.

A small boy with an intelligent
face, went into small fruit dealers
store and depositing a box of grapes
on the the counter, stood looking
down.
Il don't want the grapes, my lit
tie fellow" said the dealer, II have
got as many as | can sell. Take
them away
They are yours" said the boy
looking up.
Mine ?'
"Yes, sir. Yesterday evening
came along here and took this box
of grapes from the stand at the door.
| knewed it was stealing, an my
mother always told me not to take
anything that did not belong to me
but | couldn't help it. Just before
| left home my little sister that was
sick said, oh, if had some grapes
like them that | saw down town.
| could eat them We didn't have
any money, an nobody knowed US,
cause We had just moved into the
house, Mother washes clothes, but
when sister got sick she had to quit,
When took the clothes home the
lady told NE to come the next day
for the money, but when | went
there the house was shut up and
the people was gone, so we didn't
have any money to get the grapes
with. Mother said never mind, we
would get some after awhile saw
her go into the other room, an when
| watched her she had her tace bur-
led in the pillow an she was prayin'.
| come away down town an stood
aroun' a long time waitip to get q
chance, an after a while, when you
wasn't looking, | took a box an ran
away with it.
'But why did you bring it back ?"
the dealer asked.
Because" said the boy, choking
down a sob, when | got home the
little girl was dead"

A Cheerful Spirit.

The man or woman who always
reveals cheerful spirit, will succeed
in life. The pleasant face will carry
its professor safely through life in
spite Of every opposing power.
Smiles will Danish the darkness that
gathers about every life path, and
the sunlight will fall upon lifes path
way wherever cheerful spirit exists.
The sunbeams will melt the iceberg
and dispel the darkest night that ever
broodedover the world, and so n SUM-
ny spirit will scatter the coldness and
darkness Of humanity, and bring
brightness and blessing to those about
it.
Ifthere is anything repulsive about
human being, it is fretful spirit
and a sorrowiul face. If there is
anything utterly repelling and dis
gusting, it is the sour-visaged one
who cannot smile or wear cheerful
look, but who continually broods
over his misfortunes, and so keeps
on the shadowy side of everything,
Gods sunshine is nothing to him.
any more than the sunlight of
Heaven is to the poisonous nettle-
weed under the shadow of the slimy
rock, or dense shrubbery. His dwarf
ed ande selfish spirit is as nearly
like the nettleweed as it can be, or
like anything else that grows in
gloom and darkness.
A cheerful spirit is one of the
most valuable gifts ever bestowed
upon humanity by a kind Creator.
II is the sweetest and most fragrant
flower of the Spirit-that constantly
sends out its beauty and fragrance,
and blesses everything within its
reach. 1t sustains the soul in the
darkest and most dreary place of
this world. 1t will hold in check
the demons of despair, stifie the
power of encouragement and hope
lessness. 1t is the brightest star
that ever casts its radiance over the
darkened soul, and one that seldom
sets in the gloom of morbid fancies
and forboding imaginations.
Cultivate, then, cheerful spirit,
and cherish 1t as something sacred.
Obey the command, Rejoice ever
more" and its light and blessedness
will ever fall upon thy pathway.

HOME OF SECRETARY LINCOLN.

The home of the Secretary of War
was the center of a large and brill
liant threng of callers. Mrs. Lincoln
was assisted by Mrs. Senator Gull
lom and Miss Cullom, and Mrs.
Frank Hatton. The rooms were
very prettily decorated with flowers
and made an attractive setting for
the costumes of the ladies, who wore
evening toilets. The Secretary OF
the Navy's house was thrown open
at 2 o'clock, and Il steady stream OF
callers began to pour in to pay their
respects to Mrs. Chandler and bis
sister. Mrs. Kinsley. The parlors OF
the Secretary of the Interior on
NJ street were thrOnged, and the
large parlor where the ladies received
their guests was adorned with flow
els whose perfumes filled the air,
and in another room was a refresh
ment table where true Western hos
pitality was dispensed. Mrs. Brews-
ter held an elegant reception after 2
o'clock. The was attired in a hand
some and becoming brown flewered
satin dress with crushed strawber-
ry front. She Postmaster Generals s
home was crowded to-day, and Mrs.
Gresham, with her assistants. were
kept busy exchanging New Years
greetings and dispensing the hospi-
tality of the day.
More houses were open TO callers
to-day than for mary years. The
President is gratifed at the happy
termination of the day. Some Of his
friends think that it is a good sign
for his future prospects.

GRANDMAMMA.

GRANDMAMMA.
1t is many years ago
Since she led
On tiny tapered toe
With a tread.
Like a whisper, in the dances;
She's the sweetest of romanees-
She's the darling Of my fancies,
Though she's dead.
Grandpapa was very slim
Wore a wig
When she courtesied to him
In thejig;
She was modest, prim and pretty,
He was wealthy, wise and witty,
And he joggled through the city
In gig.
Sixty sunmers side by side
Did they so.
Then the feeble father died,
And the snow
NlreakeQ the cuFls tllat uSeu 10 idHslS
At a captivating angle
By her checks. before the bangle
Caught the beaux.
And they say she used to sit
All day through
With her Bible reading it
Till she grew
Very old then came the tragic
End of life's unraveled magic.
For her epitaph no adjec-
Tive will do.
All that / remember now
Is the quaint
Gold-rimmed glasses on her bro'
In tine paint
Where a portrait painter caught ner-
And most devoted daughter
Mother-she who always thought her
Just a saint.

A Queer Russian Boat.

A novel Russian boat is peculiar
form of boat similar to the catamarn.
1t consists of two independent hulls,
in the centre of which is an opening
in which the traveller thrusts his
feet. When standing he propels
himself by the aid of a long two
bladed paddle, and regulates the
distance between the two boats by
manipulating the ropes which lead
from each bow to the middle of the
paddle. When tired he brings the
boats alongside one another, places
the crossbars in position, elevates
his umbrella for a sail, and thus
skins swiftly over the water.
