Since Been Seen.

home is in Durham, came to New Haven
some time ago and drew 81, 800 pension men
ey due him, and from that day to the present
time has not been seen or heard from by any

had employed him at different times. He
was married, but his wife obtained divorce
from him some time ago. He was well known
in Hartford, having been engaged in the

The rail-trains crowded with children

with two or three or four generations.

dr-adiully old that he can hardly find the
way to his plate, down to the baby in the
high chair, who, with one smart pull OF
the table-cloth, upsets the gravy into the
cranberry. Send from your table a lber-
al portion to the table of the poor, some
OF the white meat as well as the dark, not
confirming your generosity to gizzards and
scraps. Do not, as in some families, keep
plate and chair tor those who are dead

A Child's Gift.

The most trifling gift is often the one
to be valued most, and have one that a
kings ransom could not purchase" writes
gentleman who was once a teacher in a
country school district. 81 had among
my pupits some years ago singularly
beautiful and winning little girl named
Mary. Her parents were dead, and she
had the misfortune to live with a distant
relative who made the child mist unhap-
py by his cruel treatment. His wife was
even more cruel to the helpless child, who
was the most obedient and submissive of
children.
They allowed her to come to school
three months during the coolest winter
weather. She was always thinly clad,
and fear that her little thin lunch pail
seldom contained anything better than
dry bread and cold potatoes.
tried to be very kind to her. | hope
that was.
But had large school of bad boys
and mischievous girls who sorely tried my
patience, and who took up all my time,
even at noon and recess hours.
Mary was shy and sensitive. making
few friends, and saying nothing when GER
tain thoughtless and heartless girls rid;
culed her shabby clothes.
She had a way of twisting her thin
white hands together. and glancing around
in friy htened, timld manner when she
was thus tainted.

The week before Christmas she fell ILL.

shone forth in her eyes. feared from the
first that she would never be well again,
and think she felt so herself, and was
not sorry.

mas morning, and after had given them
to her. she slipped one thin hand up under
the pillow, and said:

than five cents.

in whisper.
And have kept it among the things

Christmas Sports In the tennessee Noun
tainS

MANY OF the Christmas sports OF the
mountains are peculiar to this region.
The old fashioned, yet cruel, amusement
of "gander pullin'," is still practised to
some extent in the wild recesses of the
Great Smokus," and along the "Unaka'
and Bald" chains. There are two meth
DDS of practising the sport. One is by
suspendlng the fowl securely from an
overhanging limb, with its pendent head
and neck well creased. The participants
ride on horseback at full speed, and, as
they pass under the limb. strive to pull or
twist the unfortunate creatures head Oft.
The other wav is to bury the body OF the
bird leaving the exposed head and neck
free to be grasped by the passing horse
man, who endeavors to pull the body out
and bear it off as prize.
A fat steer will often be put up not
to be shot at. but shot for. To see thirty

carries one back to memories OF old
frontier DAYS. when the war whoop and
scalping-knife were blood curdlng reali-
tiles all through this rugged region.
The owner of the steer can be seen cir
culating among the crowd with a notched
stick and hunting knife in hand, a "gittin'
up the chances fer the shoot."
"On'y shillin, shot, boys" he says,
in a loud, nasal drawl. A shilling. in
mountain pariauce, means sixteen and
two third cents. "Six shillin's to the
dollyer.' is the first financial puzzle that
greets the stranger over the counter OF
the mountain store.
As each man pays in the notches on the
stick increase until all the chances are
taken up, when the shooting begins. Of
ten the four quarters and the hide are

several parts will "shoot off, against
