WE have pleuro-pneumonia and hog
and chicken cholera, and now comes a
fish disease. Numerous cases are re-
ported of finding large numbers of dead
fish in lakes and streams. In one small
lake in the Northwest, thirty tons of
dead fish were washed ashore. The
fish are said to have been. fat, of good
color and apparently sound. An inves-
tigation was made, and it is believed
that the wholesale mortality was caused
by a minute germ which attacked and
broke down the cells of the liver and
kidneys. -M~

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
GOOD COUNSEL

Brave Boys, would you live wisely, .
TO God and Nature true,
Hear me. and l precisely
Will tell you what to do.
This worlds no place for weaving
d Light webs of fancies grand,
But for firm will achieving
High purposes with strong hand.
If Weaklinps deem it cruel
That life so hard should be. r
Deem thou all hard things fuel
For victories meant for thee!
March on, and never weary,
With firm and steady pace;
But like the lark be CHEEKY,
And skyward turn thy face.
Who frets IroloRgs his SORROW.
who fears makes strong his foe,
And double woe tomorrow "
From golden dreams will flow.
Nor dream nor doubt, but stoutly
The task that nearest lies
Perform, and wait devOutly
On God, who helps the wise. -
He helps no fools, and rightly
Lays vaunttul sinners low.
Who hold the helm not tightly
When windy passions blow.
And evermore in danger,
With gleesOme faith be strong,
The devil remains q stranger
To breasts that team with song.
And never in thy daring
Dare for thyself alone,
but with thy brother sharing
Tho good that's most thine own.
And own the God who sent thee
On lifc's wide sea to swim,
And this glad being lent thee
To live and work with Him.
John. Stuart Bldckie.

A gentleman who had been away from
Texas several years, on his return to his
former residence began to speak about his
old friends.
"What has become of Tom Billings, who
used to be so fast and give his father SO
much trouble? His father was a banker
"Tom is here yet. He has gone into the
banking business"
''You mean he has started a faro bankY'
mo, he has gone into a legitimate bank
ing business. He is in partnership with
the old man."
Il hadn't heard anything about il. What
does Tom do in the business? 1 didn't
think he had ability for any department OF
business"
20, yes, he has real genius. The old
man has to see titat the money comes in,
and Gus sees that it goes out again, and
Tom manages his department very well."-

WELL FOR,

The Chicken with Two Mothen.-
strange Partnership.
Fawn and Fallow were two Brow
hens. They had grown up from chick.
enhood together, and had always been
the best of friends.
One day they made their way to thu
she'd. In a snug ri they found
a box which cook had placed there for
them. lined with nice white shavings.
"What q splendid place for q nest,,
said Fawn.
"Yes," said she, ':and l think it is biz
enough for two."
So they both got into the box, and on
the soft bed they each laid q pretty
white egg. They were SO proud d
what they had done that they made =
great noise telling about it. This
brought little Maidie to the shed, and
she came into the house bringing one ~
the eggs.

So they did, and that day Maidie had
two eggs to take to her mamma.
This went on for many days; each dav
Maidie had her two warm fresh eegs,
and one was always left in the nest.
At last Fawn and Fallow decided that
they had laid eggs enough. They began
to sit. keeping each other company.
and having a very cozy time in their
snug corner. Maidie got no more eggs.
One day, when she went to the shed.
she found Fawn and Fallow stepping
about, and between them was one tiny
little chick. Such a fuss as thew vera
making over it.
Thisi is what Maidie thought they were
saying:
This chick is NINE" says Fallow.
"No, it is mine," says Fawn. II laid
the egg says Fallow. "And SO did
~ says Fawn.
Then Fallow clucked to little chick.
and Fawn clucked, and little chick
would run first to one mother, and
then to the other. After awhile they
gave up quarreling about it, and went
strolling around the garden, the little
chick between them. l am sure a little
chick never Jared so we'll before. With
two mammas to scratch for her sln
couldn't eat half they gave her. She
grew so fat she could hardly waddle
about.
Wasn't it a pity that old Whitley, who
had seventeen yellow babies, and GOT
tired to death every day waiting upon
them, did not know enough to give
Fawn or Fallow some of hers? Wouldn't
it have been better all around if she

A young man came into the car cropping
through the aisle for a seat. His left eye
was covered with a red handkerchief and
the right was swollen nearly shut. A white
handkerchief, now blood soaked, was
around his head, tied under his chin. His
left arm reclined lazily in a sling, and the
right was without ambition, though able tc

trousers looked as if he had made q Chi
