Husband walked sedately out
and brought in two comfortables,
bright and new, while sister Lydia
proudly produced pair Of soft,
white; flannel blankets, spun and
woven by her own hands. Mrs,
Ezra modestly laid her gift of two
caps of fine lawn, with beautiful
hemstitched ruff1es, on Grandma's
knee. C@
All in all it was too much for
poor Grandma, She burst into
tears, and could hardly keep from
confessing that she cried twice the
day before. because she feared their
children had forgotten how old,poor
and sad they were.
"Come, come, mother" said Mrs.
Lydia, kissing the withered cheek,
<'Don't let the children see tear,
please; they couldn't understand
it all, and they are going to just
about swamp you both with their
little gifts pretty soon. Teddy has
brough. four quarts of his cherish
ed store of butternuts, a little bag
of beechnuts, and big bag of pop
corn"
Grandma wiped away the last
tear before the children came troop
ing in, bringing pin cushions,
chair cushions, needle books, GRO
cheted slippers, shoulder shawl,
a handsome work box and knitting
basket, besides dozens of other USE
full things. a'
By-and-by Grandpa hushed the
chattering throng in the kitchen,
and sitting in the door way between
the two rooms, he read some of the
sweet promises of the Saviour to
his sorrowing children, and such a
prayer as followed! None who
heard it ever forgot the pathos, the
triumph Of faith, the deep thank
} fulness that GOD had given him
such, loving dutlful children.
"Well, we'll! !" exclaimed Grand
ma, when all were gone except
Abram and family, who were to re-
main few days, ~ don't believe

A Song Writer'S Experience.

him to suffer in many q southern

able culture, and wrote an anti-slayery
book that had q wide circulation. 1t
is probable that the song writer in
herited bis literary ability from the
patarnal side of the house. although
his-mother-who is still living and a
terrible sufferer in her old age from
this sad blow-is a lady OF no mean
attainmentt. The deceased was not
a wanderer in the unfortunate sense
OF that word. but he was an extensive
traveller, both in this country and
abroad. He was very careful to visit
localities concerning which he had j.
in his mind o write. In this way he
became acquainted with the genus
loci, and was able to put his whole
soul into his songs. These brought
him more fame than money, bat be

The Real Good Man

Whenever you hear OF a sudden
loss of public confidence, and run
Oh the banks. you are certain to hear
OF the man who waveg So 600 in his
hand and forces his way through the
anxious crowd to deposit it and show
the people proof of his confidence
in the soundness of the bank.
There was run on Green Bay
bank the other day, and this real good
man came to the front, as usual. He
had 81. 600 in greenbacKs, and be
fiourished, and smiled, and pushed,
and elboWed, and final y deposited it.
At least twenty anxious depositore
we're treasured by his action and
walked out without aekipg for their
funds. but in the course of an hour
the bank closed it's doors-busted.
The real good man lost his 81. 900,
and We are glad OF il. We like an
innovation now and then.

Rescued by an Ape.

A short time since 70 individuals
were lying in one room very sick, one
with brain fever and the other with
an aggravated case OF the
mumps. They were so low that
w-tchers were needed every night,
and it was thought doubtful il the
one sick OF fever could recover. A
gentleman was engaged to watch over
night, bis duty being to wake the
nurse whenever it became necessary
to administer the medicine. 10 the
cur g of the night both watehe- and
nurse fell asleep. The man with the
mumps lay watching the clio k, and
saw that it was time to give the fever
patient his potion. He was unable
to speak aloud or to move any portion
OF mis- body except his arms, but seiz
Ing pillow he managed to strike the
watcher in the lace with it. Thus
suddenly awakened, the sleeper
sprang from his seat, falling to the
floor, and awakened both the nurse
and the fever patient. This incident
struck the sick men as very ludicreus
and they laughed heartily at it for
some fifteen or twenty minutes.
When the doctor came in the morn
ing he found his patients vastly i'm,
proved; said ne never knew 30 sudden
turn for the better,and now both are a
uL and well. Vino says laughter is
not the best of medicines? And this
reminds the writer of another case.
A gentleman was suffering from an
liberation OF the throat, which at
length became so swollen that his life
was despaired OF. His household
came to his bedside TO bid him fare
well. Each Individual shook hands
with the dying man and then went
away weeping. Last of all came a
pet ape, and shaking the mans hand
went way also with its hands over it's
eyes. Ii was 30 ludicrous sight that
the patient was forced to laugh, and
laughed so heartily that the ulcer
broke and his life was ved.-[Lon.

OUR SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
How Their Time and Patience Are
Taxed-Coniition OF the Schools.


"The real reason for my resignation
from the school board was just what /
said at FIRST that ii interferod with my
business too much" said Mr.. b. II.
Warner in reply to a REPUBLICAN, re-
porter's inquiry yesterday. mo, there
was no other cause sufficient to induce
mo to give up tho work. While there arc
in nearly all municipal affairs things that
one might wish otherwise. these do not

factory features Of the administration of
the school board, and have no complaint
to make"
rs your time 80 much ongrossed by
business that you could not spare an hour
or so once month to attend tho board
meetings."
Board meetingsP Why that is tho
easiest and most pleasant part Of the
whole business. The trouble was with
the people who came after me here In
my Office. People from all parts of tho
country seem to think that the schools of
the District Of Columbia are models after
which to pattern the systems in other
sections, and when they como to Wash
ington, as my Office is in central part OF
tho city, thoy very frequently called to
the case aftcr became president of the
board, and members Of congress and
others VINO had children In the schols or
were interested in education called.
Professors, teachers, school trustees,
cranks, and book agents called. besides
tho would-be lecturers, who insisted
upon giving mo sample OF their elocu-
tionary powers. IL was interesting, but
my business 10 much more so L can rs e
sure you"
"How is the school system at present ~
"In very satisfactory shape. The
schools arc in first-rate condition, and
have made very rapid progress during
the past ton years, during which time
nearly all Of tho modern school buildings
with which the district is now dotted
have been erected. The plan Of admin
istering the schools here is very different
from that in vogue elsewhere. Here most
OF the educational work is done by the
uperintendents and supervising princi-
pals, and they are the proper persons to
have charge of 1t. Men appointed from
the busy walks of life as school trustees
cannot be supposed to bc sufficiently we'll.
informed on such matters. They receive
monthly reports of all that occurs in the
several divisions, and are kept informed
upon all matters through the super
vising principals, besides being in
moro or less direct communication
with the different schools and the
pupils parents. The trustee is also
supposed to stand between the parents
and teachers, and to arbitrate in cases o.
difficulty as to questions of discipline and
school administration as 1t affects indi.
vidual pupils"
is there much corporal punishment
inficted?"
mo, it Is discouraged and practically
done away with, though it has to be
resorted to still in some cases."
As the reporter as about leaving Mr..
Warner began opening some correspond
