The Two Different Kinds.

II don't know," says tho bad boy,
"about this thing of waiting till you find
out about girls religion before you love
her. Sometimes you can! do 1t. If q
girl has not got any sign out warning q
fellow what kind of religion she has got
concealed about her person, how is he
going to know until it is everastingly too
late. When young feller falls In love
with girl, 1t is like falling down on
skates. Everything seems 10 give way at
once. It strikes him like o sand bag,
and there he ID, asphy1iated the first
skirs. He knows :ha. che is perfect,
and he takes Ter right into his heart and
@sars his heart around her. and puts rub.
Der weather strips on. all the cracks 80
she can't get out, and her religion is the
last thing he thinks of. If her religion
pulls her one way, his heart pulls her
tother way, srneth;-y's got TO bust,
sometimes it's tie rehgion that busts,
and sometimes rs the heart. l think
there ought to be convention composed
of delegates from all kinds of religion,
and let them make q law that any reii-
gion shall be legal tendey anywhere like
gold dollar Religion ought to be pure
gold, good anywhere. II u man comes
in here to bny soap, and gives you gold

your son is in love with O Hebrew girl,
her religion says your sons religion is
counterfeit. and goes to her gr.,ve with
your sons !oEo ;I hes hsart, and he goes
to the bad with her image in his heart,
and both are ruined for life cause they
couldn't match their religion. A Baptist
girl falls In love with o young fellow that
is'a perfect specimen of manhood, brave,
noble, intelligent, tender to her and as
kind rs a man can be, and they begin to
plan for the day when he can take her TO

section Of Heaven to her, when some day
a friend says to her: 'Yonr lover is one
of the noblest men ever cav. but 1t is o

FITTING Webster Against Himself.

Public men sometimes find IL inconven.
lent to be confronted by previous utter
auce after they have changed their opin.
ions. The Youths Companion gives an
Interesting incident of this sort which
occurred In connection with speech by
Mr. Webster ut q great tariff dinner at
Philadelphia in 1886:
At that time no Philadelphia paper
had O corps of reporters at all competent
to maze quick work of two hours'
speech, which requires eight men TO re-
port verbatim with tho requisite dispatch
for an early issue. The consequence
was that it was past ten o'clock the next
morning before the Whig paper appeared.
There was saucy little Democratic
sheet published then, called the Pennsyl-
ranian, edited by the late Colonel For
ney, which played q nice trick upon an
expectant public. The editor hunted up
Mr.. Webster's great speech on the tariff
delivered In 1924. which was thorough
going argument for free trade, in direct
opposition to the oration of the evening
before. Colonel Forney struck off O
large edition of this speech as O supple
ment to his paper, heading it, in his
largest type, Webaters Great Speech on
the Tariff.
The newstoys made the town ring with
this cry soon after sunrise. Horace
Greeley, who had come over from New
York on purpose to hear the speech, and
was anxious to get an early copy for
publication in the New York Tribune,
rushed out of his hotel and bought sev.
eral of them. Many thousands of copies
were sold before the joke was discovered.
The Democrats were naturally in great
good. .humor to see Mr.. Webster thus ar.
rayed against himself. The Whies
could not be expected to relisi: the Jest,

i Wonderful Child.

A Richmond Und.l letter to the
Chicago Meus says: We have mathe.
matical wonder here. 1t is child six
years of age, the son Of NJ. l.. Price, a
journeyman carpenter. The little fellow
does not know figures any better than lie
does letters, in which he is not perfect
by any means yet he mentally solves
problems way up in the hundreds that
would require paper and pencil with tho
average business man, aud he gives you
an answer as promptly as most boys Of
his years could give you their age. After
answering number Of questions in null
tiplication be was asked if he was
prompt in addition and substraction, and
as he replied he did not know what that
meant, yet when given sums and sub
fractions TO do he did them as quickly as
he had the examples in multiplication.
For instance, you give him your age in
years and he will tell you instantly how
many weeks old you are. Sometimes he
will answer in this wise: Twenty times
thirty arc ten sixties but an instant
after he will tell you ten sixties are 600.
However, in his calculations he is not
governed by the rule of tens at all, for
he just as promptly answers when the
amount does not include cypher as
when it concludes with one.
His father said he began asking and
solving problems in o small way the
latter part of last summer; but he gave
up the habit until about Christmas,
when he again became interested in
figures, or rather mental calculations,
and has recently developed the charac.
terstic that certainly stamps him as a
wonder. In appearance he is childlike,
but in actions moro manly, caring more
about being with his father and the lat
ter's associates than with his own play.
