Those Red Top Boots.

DO you remember them-the first
pair you wore? You can close your
eyes and see them again-stiff and
black and heavy soled. And what
points of beauty in your eyes were
those red tops and bright copper toes!
The memory of them brings you back
to that period in your life, where in
fancy passed into boyhood, and where
dreams came to you of being big
man. They marked the beginning OF
your independence, of your strength,
of your recognition as one of earth 5
creatures. Better far, they brought
surceaSe of ridicule, SO calling to a
boys pride, for they came with pants
and short hair. in place of dresses and
curls. How otter have you gone sob
bing to your mother, your heart full of
grief and modification, because a big
ger boy had pulled your hair and call
ed you a girl! The changes came all
at once. Mother made the pants, and
one evening she brought home the red
top boots. Then she put the scissors
into your soft curls, cut them off, kiss
ed Them, and laid them away. She
was sorry to see the baby become a
boy; but how your soul swelled! How
you longed for the morning, that you
might wear them! How joyfully you
cried out to little Billy Brown, across
the street, that you had pants and
boots!' And Billy probably answered,
sullenly: Il don't care;" while all the
time he was filled with envy
Dear little boots! We revere your
memory. You are to the boy what the
sweetheart is to the youth; what the
bride is TO the mau.-iShOe and Leather

tian burial. 'Tis so hard to 60 on and
leave it alone in the forest"
"You are leaving it with God" said
the preacher. "You are moving to-
ward the sunset, but the little one will
meet you in the morning land"
While the evening shadows gathered
about them, he put forth his hands and
pronounced a benediction, and with
fearful eyes turned away from the sad
group.
In the early morning the movers were
to take up their journey, leaving the
little grave for the wild flowers to COW
er. Miles away in the great green
forest by winding river they would
join few more pioneer families. and
as lark drops its nest in the grasses
they make their simple houses and rear
their families.
The young man who had ridden out
of the sunset splendors in among the
sorrowing scene, rode out into the
gathering shadows with his life work
well defined; he had preached his first
sermon; the audience was different
from what he had pictured in ambitious
dreams, vastly different.
With voice clear and strong he has
since held and swayed the multitude,
keeping them by the power of his mas
terly eloquence for hours together. But
he learned by the side of the little
grave in the forest to do the Master S
work in the Masters way.-Lizzie York

EHilyirg in the House of Commons

There is no ordeal of bullying more
severe than that of the House of Com
mons. Out of about $50 gentlemen
who would not incur the expense and
trouble OF getting into Parliament if
they did not covet distinction there are
not more than 80 who achieve distinc-
ton, and the rest-the 60O-are silent
voters. Why are so many doomed to
obscurity at Westminster? How is it
that not quite 10 per cent. of the men,
bers get the ear OF the House? On the
average the silent 600 could speak just
as well as the talking 80. Nay, among
the silent 600 are several who prove by
their speaking elsewhere that they are
better orators than most of the so talk
ers. 1t is the bullying that causes their
utter failure at Westminster A very
inferior member will get the ear of the
House if he is not cowed by bullying,
and the most gifted member will be
nobody at Westminster if he is not
cowed by bullying. How Lord Bea-
consfield was bullied! The bullying be-
gan with his first speech, and it was
continued almost TO the end of his ca
reer. | do not refer to hostile criti-
cism, which, however unjust, vehe-

and insolent yelping. How heriocalIy
ne endured it! He was not insenstive,
but he had the wonderful courage to
appear impassive in the hour of defeat,
and to seem Indifferent to the singing
OF ungenerous and ungracious inso-
lence. 1t is to be observed that he had
not the advantage of public school
training, but he was one of those rare
men who triumph over disadvantages.
Oh, silent six hundred, if you had
tithe of the capacity of Benjamin Dis
raeli to endure bullying, at least $50 of
you would be takers. Oh, what boon
that would be to the nation. Then only
the necessary business of the country
would be done, and we should be
spared any more doctoring and tinker

his eyes were filled with Il very vacant
stare. 1t was evident to the most cas-

been drinking. He carefully picked
the tinfoil off the package o. cigarettes

of the package and tucked all but one

Then he rubbed his eyes. looked again,
and appeared pretty sure that there
was a dog in the doorway. Still, he
was not convinced. He glanced
around cautiously, saw that no one
was looking, and then he whistled soft
ly. The dog did not respond and the
young man turned pale. lie whistled
louder, still no response. Then he
reached out his cane and cautiously
