"Who is that young man with glasses sitting to the Speakers right?" That is MT. Franklin, of Tucson. As you will see he has the strongly marked and intelligent features of his race. His forehead
 is high but somewhat retreating, and his nose prominent and well formed. Mr. Franklin is a native- born American, but there IS no mis- taking the striking facial character istics which mark the Chosen People in whatever cline fate has waited them. The subject of our sketch is quite young man and Il lawyer by profession. This is his maiden essay in the business of law-making but he has evidently paid some atten~

LincOln's Start in Life.

''He rode" an old friend says, ''into
town on a borrowed horse, without
earthly goods beyond pair of saddle
bags, two or three law books, and some
clothing in bag. He came into my
store, set his saddle-bags on the coun-
ter, and said: Speed, tell me what the
furniture for a single bedroom will
cost l took my pencil, figured it up,
and found it would cost S17. Lincoln
replied, 1T is cheap enough, but l want
to say that, cheap as it is, 1 have not
the money to pay. But if you will
credit me until Christmas, and my ex-
pertinent here is a success, l will pay
you then. If fail, l shall probably
never be able to pay YOU The voice
was SO melancholy felt for him, and
told him had very large double bed,
which he was perfectly welcome to
share with me, if he chose. Where is
your bed?' said Lincoln. Upstairs
1 answered. He took his saddle-bags
on his arm, went upstairs, set them
on the floor, and came down laughing,
saying, We'll, Speed, I'm moved The
ludicrous idea of moving all his earthly
goods and chattels by taking his saddle
bags upstairs, had made his elastic
spirit as mirthful as just before it was
depressed.

yankee" Hill, famous actor in the
hrst half of the present century, used to
tell an amusing story of the early DAYS
of the theater in the United States. Hill
once "showed to use a professional
phrase-in a town in the western part of
New York, where no theatrical perform
ance had ever been given. He found
the audience assembled, with the women
seated ON one side of the hall, the men
ON the other, exactly as they were used
to sit In church, and throughout the
play the most solemn silence was OBJ
served. They were attentive. but thew
gave no evidence OF approval or dis
pleasure; there was no applause, no
laughter, not even smile all was SOL
emn stiffness. He did his utmost TO
break the Ice he did everything clever
comedian could do, but in vain. He
flung himself against their rigiditv it
was of no use. The audience was evil
IDENTIFY ON its best behavior, and the cur
tam went down at last amid a silence
oppressive and almost melancholy. AZ
ter the play Hill, worn out by the extra
exertion, and mortified at his want of
success, was passing through a public
room of his hotel, when he was stopped
by tall countryman, with the remark,
. Say, mister, was into the play to-
night. Were you ?" said Hill. ''You
must have been greatly entertained

The Locomotive in Winter.

A locomotive cab in winter is a
dreary place. 1t is bad in daytime.
but on winter night, when the snow
flies fast, the locomotive cab is good
place to keep out of. Even in the day
it is impossible to see anything if a
snow storm prevails. The rails run
right up in the air. Nothing can be
seen ahead but jumping-off place.
The windows are frozen up or covered
with snow, and from innumerable
cracks and crevices around the floor
where it joins the boiler comes
draughtS that bite and sting. The en-
CINE caws like crow-haugb, haugh,
now fast. now slow. according as the
drifts cover the track. or uncover it for
a brief space. and when it strikes
drift it throws the snow in binding
clouds all over itself. just as the spray
flies over vessel shipping a sea. The
track is rough, for the frost has dis
turbed it, and the engine lurches
ahead, staggering to fro like drunk
en- man.
There are few more impressive spec
tacles in this world than powerful To-
connective laboring through a heavy
snow storm. To the observer beside
the track it looms up through the
gloom tremendous and awful. The To-
seems the embodiment of the
death angel, moving swiftly and noise
lessly. The snow has muflled the whir
of the rolling friction of the wheels on
the rails, and the train glides by like
the unsubstantial pageant of dream.
With its black breath. its snorts of fire,
its hoarse voice. it is truly Apollyon,
he destroying angel, and the man
must be unimpressible who does not |

How to Be Healthy.

If you want to do well, keep well, il
you possibly can. Do not let even your
education rob you of your health. 1t is
about the worst thing you can do under
the whip and spur of noble purpose,
and it is what vast numbers do to their
lifelong regret. When a fine painter
took the butcher to see one of his pict-
ures, he said, "Aye, Master Hayden,
it's grand picture, but I doubt whether
you could have done. it if you had not
eaten nay beef" And think there was
a grain of truth in the remark. They
say that baseball is getting into the
hands of the gamblers, and that young
men are shy of it of a good breeding.
I should be very sorry to think So 1t
is the handsomest game that ever was
played, and one of the healthiest. Play
baseball, and pull boat, and get your
chance in vacation at long tramps and
hard beds and rough, wholesome fare;
eat well and sleep well be as clean all
through and all over as you are in
drawing-room, and then you will not
only be able to do your days work in
this world like man, but when the
years bring their inevitable burden you
will be able to say with Adam in the
play:
Though look old, yet am I strong and lusty,
For in my youth never did apply
Hot and rebellious liquors to my blood;
Nor did with unbashful forehead WOO
The means of weakness and debility;
Therefore my age is as lusty winter,
Frosty, but kindly.
Remember this, too, that, with health
and strength to back you, life means
hard work, and hard work on long lines,
with native ability and good conduct,
means success.-Rer. Robert COLLIER.
