at an early age he ran away from a
comfortable home in the east. and
after drifting about FIR many months
landed in St. Louis, having. in his
rambIes become possessed of a box
with piece of inch board nailed upon
it, can of backing. and a queer
looking brush. With this stock in

Resolved to become some day man
of Importance, he applied himself stu
diously, and he has now the snug little
sum of $4,000. Pete's greatest
achievement. and one of which he
sDeaks with pride. was the erection,
about year ago, of $4,000 home
for newsboys, on Olive street, between
Eleventh ard Twelfth, in St. Louis
To raise this money, he says he took
the stump, and in several seasons lee
lures gathered sufficient funds for the
completion of the work. A few years
ago he organized a strike among the
st. Louis bootblacks, and performed
the great act of raising the price of
shines from 5 to 10 cents.

two months, after which he will go to

a PSALM OF LIFE.
a French Translation Of Longfel-
lows Great Poem.

Tell me rot in disconsolate rhymes:
Life is dream void of sense for the
soul is dead when it goes to sleep and
the things are not what they appear to
US to be
Life is real life is serious; death
is not its term. Dust. thou shalt re-
turn to dust. The word has not been
said for our soul Neither joy nor
sorrow is our destiny. Our lot is to
act in order that each next day may
find us more advanced than the day
before.
Art is long time flies; our hearts
SO courageous, so strong as they can
be, beat often a funeral march, as
they advance toward the tomb like
drums yelled with black grape.
La the immense field of battle Of
the world in the bivouac Of life, be
not like the cattle who let themselves
be pushed on in silence be a hero in
the melee.
Trust not to the future, so laughing
as NAV be its cnlors. Let the past in
ter its dead. Act, act, IN the living
present, with vour heart in you and
God over YOUR head.
All the lives Of the great men
make us see that we can render our
life sublime, anG in departing leave
behind lis in the sanG of time the i'm
print of our siers.
An imprint that another traveller,
a ship-wrecked brother, will discover
perhaps in standing hack and of
which the view will raise up his cour-
age
Let us elevate our sous. let us act,
let US be prepared tor all tue changes
Of fate; always pursuing, completing
eur task, let us learn to toll and to
wait.

The Odious Editorial "We."

Bill Nye.
The world is full of literary people
today, and thew are divided into three
classes, viz: TaOSe who have written
for the press, those who are writing
for the press, and those who want 10
write for the pres. OF the first there
are those who triei ii and found that
they could make more in half the
time at something else, and so quit
the fed, and those who failed to touch
the great Heart and pocketbOok of the
public, and therefore sub<ided those
who are writing for tie press now,
whether putting together copy by the
mile within the sound of the rumbling
engine and press, or scattered through
the country, writing more at their leis-
ure, find that they have to lay aside
every weight and throw off all the in
cumbranees of the missy past. One
thing, however, still clings to the
editor like dab of paste on a white
vest or golden deck of scrambled
egg on tawny mustache. One relic
of barbarism rears is gaunt form amid
the clash and hurry and rush of civil
ization and the dazzling light of science
and smartness.
1t is "we."
The budding editor of the rural
civilizer for the first time peels his
coat and sharpens his pencil to begin
the work of changing the great cur
rent of public opinion. He is strong
in his desire to knock error and wrong
galley west. He has buckled on his
armor to paraiyza monopoly and TO
purify the ballot He has hitched up
his pantalnons with noble resolve
and covered his table with virgin pa
pers.
He is young ami he is a little ego
tistical also He wants to say, [ be-
lieve so and so, but he can't Perspi-
ration breaks out all over him. He
bites his pencil, and looks up with his
clenched hand in his hair. The Shiny
demon IF the editors life j. there. sit

tanning the report OF the United States
superintendent of swine diseases.
Wherever you find Young man un-

ready to look over the shoulder of the
timid young mental athlete. Wher-

around the door knob, aud the snowy

pink tips of his alabaster fingers you
will find the shiny. scaly folds of "we"
curled up in some neighboring corner.

dressed in reat gray silk, and dia-
mond necklace glistened at her throat.
Her face was an intelligent and
attractive one, but her bright blue
eyes had a meaningless look, and
were fixed stupidity upon some object
at the front IF the car. Her hands
seemed to rest easily at her side, and
such would have been the impression
a careless obs rver would have car
ried awsv. As the conductor and
reporter stood in the aisle for
moment longer that was necessary to
observe the above, however, clamp
ing sound was heard, and the young
lady seemed to be trying to free her
arms from something that kept them
firmly fixed to her side. Stepping a
little nearer, delicate pair of steel
handouts could be plainly seen,
attached to her wrists. They were
separated. however. and to each was
fasteRed small but stout chain that
was firmly secured to the seat. Be
