Watching the Children

Each mother or teacher is an agent
of Divine Providence, says clergyman.
Now, what is said of Moses holds good
of any child. Each child is a great
trust. and "she who guards and pre-
serves one soul saves whole world"
Each mother and teacher, each tender
guardian of child ought to act as a
messenger of Divine Providence, and
who knows what influence she may be
destined to WELD by the task assigned
her ? Who can tell but she may be
destined to mould the soul of genius,
who is to flood humanity with new
light of Heaven, or to kindle q flame
which is to reveal to the world new
SUBMITS of bliss and rectitude {? In
order to perform their duties, parents
and educators ought to manifest two
chief angelic qualities. First-Patience
in waiting and watching the child's
progress, and, second, kindness and
sympathy in penetrating and following
up the nature of the child. Few moth
ers know how to deal with their chill
dren. The more love they feel for them
the less patience they show. They
want to mould and fashion them as
though they were a piece of wax and
had not soul, an image of God, with
an individuality of its own, which re-
quires to be studied and found out.
The chief fault in training lies in over
doing in having rules and prescriptions
ready to shape character, life, purpose
and destiny of the child. Your cast
iron moulds harm and ruin all genuine
greatness.

Two Americans.

Some years ago an emigrant from
the United States kept small restaur.
ant in 81 town situated in one of the
greatest stockraising districts Of South
Australia. He was presumably the
only Yankee in those parts. There
was an enormously rich old stockman
who came into town from his lordly
cattle rancho at intervals, whose ma
ti0nalty was matter of doubt, though
he usually passed for a taciturn and
uDcommunicatiye bachelor Scotchman.
One day this wealthy but solitary old
chap entered the restaurant of the man
from the states. When he left he look.
ed hard at the proprietor, and simply
remarked !:
American, arn't you ?"
On being answered in the afirma.
tive.th millionaire cnwpuncher walked
away without another word.
Regularly once week ne reappeared,
silently ate hasty lunch, and made
the same sterotyped inquiry, receiYinl :
the same emphatic. ''Yes, stree I" in
reply. At l,st there came time when
the eccentric old customer did not re-
turn. A month went by two. At
last a wagon stopped at the door. and
the old fellow. pale and wasted with
sickness, was helped out and supported
into the saloon. He called for his us
ual steak with weak but logged deter.
minatlon, ate a morsel and then totter-
ed up to the counter. As he paid his
bill he whispered, hoarsely
American, aren't you !"
"You bet," replied the proprietor
pleasantly.
Stretching out his shaking hand, the
odd Customer said +:
''Shake So AIN | I"
Then he tottered away without an
other word. Three days afterwards
a lawyer came into our Young country
mans place and told him that thequeer
old gry out on the Tho npson range
had died aud left him cool 81, Co.,

A CANADIAN, meeting in Canada a
gentleman from Louisville, kindly ask

did you happen to leave so fourishing q

tirely. Instead of getting city Ofics

In a Panther's Claws.

A Bombay shikaree narrates how
he once actually fell into the claws of
n panther, and lived to tell the tale
After describing the incidents of the
hunt up to the time when the beast
broke cover, he says:
81 had to wait until the panther
was within few feet of me, and /
then put my rife down to his head,
expecting to roll him over like a rab-
bit as | had succeeded in doing on
other occasions, and then placed my
second bullet pretty much where l
pleased. To my horror, there was no
report when the hammer fell /! The
next moment the panther, with an an
CRY roar, ,sprang on me. Hanging on
with the claws of one forepaw driven
into my right shoulder and the other
around me, he tried to get at my head
and neck, but l fortunately y prevented
this by raising my 1eft arm, which he
instantly seized in his huge mouth. |
shall never forget his sharp, angry
roar, the wicked look of the greenish
yellow eyes within six inches of mine
the turned back ears, his foetid breath
upon my cheek, and the feeling of his
huge fangs closing to the bone
through my arm above the elbow
II endeavored, by giving him my
knee in the stomach, to make him let
go. Those who have ever kicked a
cat can imagine what little effect this
had. 1t was more like using ones
knee for a football than anything else.
The panther, with roar, gave tre-
mendous wrench to my arm, hurled
me some five PAGES down the side of
the hill prone on my face, bringing
nv head in contact with tree. Stun
ned and insensibIe, / lay some sec.
onds on the ground, and the brute,
thinking me dead, fortunately did not
worry me, but, passing over me, went
for the retreating police constable, who
had brought me into difficulty. re-
member when came to, raising my
head from the ground, leaning my
forehead against tree, and smiling
with certain feeling of satisfaction,
when my eyes caught the retl eating
form of the constable and the pursue
ing panther down the hill, and |
thought the policeman's turn had
come.
THE civil surg con of the station
probed the teeth wounds in the arm,
and found that at the back of the arm
ran right to the bone and was an inch
and half deep. The two wounds on
the inner side, in or close to the biceps,
were, one an inch and quarter and
the other an inch deep. The claw
wounds on the right shoulder were
not serious, and had fortunately just
missed the large artery near the collar
bone, injury to which would have re-
suited in my bleeding to death in
very few minutes.

Santa Claus and the Mouse.

One Christmas Eve, when Santa Claus
Came TO n certain house,
To I'LL the children's stockings there,
lie found little mouse.
"a merry Christmas, little friend
Said Santa, good and kind,
the same to you, sir" said the mOusei
Il thought You wouldn't mind.
III / should stay awake tonight
And watch you for while
You're very welcome, little mouse,
Said santa, with smile.
And then he filed the stockings up
tefOre the mouse could wink
From toe to top. from top TO toe,
There wasn't left chlnk.
Now, they won't hold another thing"
SAID Santa Claus. with pride.
A twinkle came In mOuse'S eyes,
But humbly he repliei:
Its not polite to contradict,
Your pardon implOre,
But IN the fullest stocking shere
IcOuld put one thing more.
''Oh, hot" laughed Santa. ''Silly mouse. .
Don't know how TO pack?
BY filling stockings all these years
should have learned the knack."
And then he took the stocking down
From where 1t hung so high
Ana said: Now put In one thing more;
give you leave to try"
The mousie chuckled to himself
And then he softly stole
Right u the stockings crowded toe
And gnawed little hole!
Now. II yOn please. good Santa Claus,
I've put in one thing more.
For you will own that little hole
Was not IN there before"
How Santa Claus did laug aud Taught
And th9n he gayly spoke:

Mad Itch.

Mr.. A. 7. Hoyt, north of town, lost
a COW and calf some time ago with
what is called the mad itch. We give
the circumstances that others may be
on their guard. The animals got into
a hog pen where were some hogs.
which we're being fed with corn, fed
der and all. When corn fodder is
green, hogs will chew the stalks and
spit out the woody part Of the stalk.
This latter the cattle ate after the
hogs, and it was not long till they
took with terrible fits Of scratching
themselves about the jaws. Their
misery increased till they died, which
was but a few hours after taking. 1t
seems strange, but they say if cattle
are allowed to eat after hogs in this
way, this disease is a certain conse.

An Indignant Congregation.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
Paris, Mo, September ga Ho-
illness camp meeting is in progress
in this county about eight miles
southeast of this place. Last night
W. T. Ellis a Holiness preacher, and
editor of the Fire and Hammer, q
Holiness organ published at North
Topeka, Kan, conducted services in
the tent. The congregation became
SO incensed at his language and &C.
cusations that about two-thirds left
the tent, and an Indignation meeting
was held outside. Aproposition was
made to take Ellis to Salt River and
duck him, but a Constable, who was
present, persuaded the crowd not to
use violence, and after considerable
parley, Ellis was notified to leave
the county, which he agreed to do.
The Constable took charge of him
last night to protect him, and this
morning he left for healthier fields
The other preachers engaged in the
meeting, Revs. V~andeventer and
Colburn, are said to be quiet, re-
spectacle men.

She s.Sh0oko Them.

A gentleman who was up at Mober-
ly the night Barnum's circus was
there, says he saw a patent medicine
mar selling something or other from
a carriage in which he had a rather
pretty young woman and a gasoline
lamp. The lady sang n or two
songs very sweetly, and then tire man
talked and sold his nostrum at a dol
lar a bottle.
When he had disposed Of thirty or
forty bottles he said: "Now, gen.
tlemen, before bidding you good

of the wonderful magnetic powers Of
my wife, who sits here by my side. l
hold in my hand q common piece Of
thread. Now, one of you take hold
of the end Of it and walk off and then
let all the others take hold of it and
at the signal which l will give she
will take hold of the other end and
you will feel the shock instantly"
About $50 men and boys grasped
the thread and walked off about hall
a block with it. "Now keep perfect
ly quiet and you will feel the shock,
delicate at first and then strong
enough to Jingle at the ends Of your
fingers and toes. Are you oil ready?"
They all said Eyes"

in your hand, my dear?"

sweet, musical voice, and at tn
same moment the horses and carriag,
were driven off at great speed, leav
ing the crowd holding onto the string
completely dumbfounded.
