How q Dakota AsrIcuiturlst soothed HS
wounded Feelings.
A man was driving scross the coun-
try in Dakota when he came to house
with man hobbling around the yard on
crutch. A fine-lcoking horse was tied
to a post near BY, and the traveller
stopped and said.
ais that horse for saleP"
"Well, now l tell you jest how 'tis
bout that air hoss; you see it's the one
nv wife drives and / don't know a.
she'd want ter part with 1t. It's very
gentle hoss, very gentle"
"That's what want, horse that is
gentle and kind.
"That Jest hits that hoss precisely,
pardner, no easier hoss to handle in the
country"
Never kicks, supposed"
"Never knew him tor histe his foot
'cept ter walk"
"Whnt is it worthp"
"That's Jest it-don't b'lisve l can
sell him-my wife would miss him so.
Tell you what I'll do, though; you give
me one hundred and seventy-tive dollars
fer that hoss and I'll try and break in
one of the colts fer her to drive. Don't
b'licvc can ever get 'em rs gentle as
he is but seein' you want him I'll let
YOU have him fer that"
"Well, I'll take it. What makes you
so lameP'
"Oh, rheumatic got holt NV me ag'in
lest bout used me up. I'll tie the
hoss behind yer wagon fer YOU"
"All right. Your barn seems to be
scattered around somewhat, cyclone
strike itp'
..Well, now should say there did
| reg lar twister NV tornado jest spread
it all round. There you'll find that
hoss'll lead up all right and be jest as
gentle's kitten. Good day, stranger,
yer'vc got mighty fine barg'in there,
that hoss is sound and wouldn't hurt q
fly"
The man drove off and boy crawled
out from under the house and said:
dad, it's mighty good thing old
Bill stopped kickin' fore he come
long"
"You bet it wus, my son. He had
jest sent the last board of the barn fyin'
over in the garden and the dust wus
settlin' when the feller drove up. !
guess he busted two NV my ribs and put
my leg sorter out NV j'int the first kick
he made, but reckon one hundred and
seventy-five will fix 'em up. l wus
afraid he'd back up and begin on the
barb wire fence while the man wus here,
but he didn't happen to. Bout the
time he planted his off foot in my ribs
I'd O. took ninety cents fer him, but
s'pose it's jest as we'll ter got fair
price, Always remember, my son, in
future life ef yer sellin' yer wife's fa-
vorite buggy hoss jest own right up to

The Difficulties ana Disadvantages Under
Which They Began Life.
Clara Morris mother, writes Celia
Logan, was cook in a restaurant in
Cleveland when Clara was lanky girl
of fifteen years of age. Manager John
Ellsler advertised for some extra girls
:or the ballet in pantomime he was
getting up. Clara applied for place
10 the extra ballet. She wore an old,
raded calico dress, much too short, a
shin shawl and a ragged wooden scarf
wrapped around her head. When the
extra girls were no longer required
Clara was retained for small parts.
That was the beginning of the career of
She great emotional actress, Clara Nor
sis, who, by the way, is of English, not
American birth.
Pretty Maud Granger, with the gold
brown eyes and shapely form, first
earned her livelihood by running . sew
ing-machine. Sarah Bernhardt was
dressmaker's apprentices; so was Matilda
Heron. Adelaide Nelson began life as
4 ehild's nurse, and Lady Hamilton as
q souscMmid. Miss Braddon, the we'll
3nowH .ovelist, was utility actress in
she English provinces, performing prin-
ripally in pn!.tomime.
Christine Ellison WIS poor Sw edish
peasant, axeS ran barefoot in childhood.
Jenny LinsS also Swede, was the
daughter PRINCIPAL of a young la
dies boarding schcai. and beyond rath-
er narraxs circumStances had no espe-
cial difficulties in osder to gain celeb
rity.
The mother Of Clara Louise Kellogg
strained every nerve to give Clara mu-
sical education, and at one time was a
professional spiritual medium. Miss Kel-
logg failed three times. Each time she re-
tired, not discouraged, but to devote
Of her voice. Finally she took the pub
lie by storm. Her first failures were
her last.
Mrs. Langtry is tho daughter of
country parson of small means. but .he
old proverb of her face being her fortune
proved true in her case. Nevertheless,
the standing Mrs. Langtry has acquired
upon the boards entities her to rank
among the self-made women OF the day.
Minnie Hauk's father was German
and a shoemaker, in the most straitened
circumstances. Her voice early at
tracted the attention of one of New
YOrk's richest men, who had il culti-
waited, and thus opened the way to fame
for her.
We have had two great female astron-
omers, Miss Herschel and Miss Mitchell.
Both were single women and both took
up the study of astronomy in order to
assist their brothers. Miss Herschel's .
pathway to fame was over 4 smooth
road, but Miss Maria Mitchell had every
thing TO battle with. She was the daugh-

What Became Of the Cream.

The Filbert children were going to
Farmer Wheat's for some cream. 1t
was mile to the farm. Harry was to
take his new wheelbarrow, to wheel
the jar. They were to have ice-cream
in the afternoon. At the thought of
this treat both Harry and little Helen
clapped their hands with JOY.
"Walk carefully" said Mamma
Filbert, ''for the jar will be full. II
you are tired you may rest in the
shade. Come back as soon as you
can"
The children set out in high glee.
Harry frolicked along the road, while
Helen picked wild flowers by the road
side. The earthen jar was filled with
cream. Mrs. Wheat tied the cover on,
and packed the jar nicely in the little
wheelbarrow with some wisps of hay.
"Now it will not slide about" she
said.
The children set out upon their re.
turn. But the sun now began to grow
warm. I
LET us go through the woods"
said Harry.
DO you know the wayp" asked
Helen.
II think do. It isn't far!'
1t was pleasant in the shade, though
the path was rough. The squirrels
frisked overhead, and the children be.
gan to feel like frisking themselves.
Besides, what can you expect when q
boy has fine red wheelbarrow, with
yellow horses painted on the sides.
The horses were standing ON their
hind legs, just as II they were trying to
jump up to the squirrels.
Harry forgot what his mother told
him. He began to frisk, and then to
gallop, while the wheelbarrow bounced
over the stones in the path. The chill
dren raced till they were out of breath.
The path was longer than they thought.
Mamma Filbert had been looking for
them fifteen minutes when they reached
home. I,.f.r.
"Why, how warm you are!" she
cried, as she took out the lar. As she
opened 1t she laughed and shook her
head. m a
"You will have to 90 without ice-
cream to-day" she said.
The children began to wonder.
Their mother took spoon, and, aftey
few stirs with 1t, showed them tino
jar of butter. tti t
''Your wheelbarrow Is good churn.
Harry" said she; ''but when you 90
after cream you must mind your moth
OF, and walk carefully"
So Harrys disobsdience cost the
children their ice-cream that day

TIE FINsr DAYS BATTLE.

The foundation Of Senator EDNUSDs sr-
eument is, that all papers placed upon file
in the departments are of necessity official
papers. He makes this assumption with.
out offering proof to verify it.
Arguing from this doubtful assumed
premise he tries to show that neither the
Presidenr nor any Of the heads Of the de.
partmsnts have any right to say what pa
pers the Senate should or should not have
access to.
But Whist has the Senator proyen2 His
Grst premise can not be admitted. The Pres
ident shoEed in his message that many OF
the papers on file were unofficial, and
Mr.. EDNUSDs has not shown that i: is
otherwise in this or any instance. lfthen
some OF these papers are private and IN
official, Mr.. EDNUSDs' argument cannot at
all apply to them, and the question re-
mains Just as stated By the President
Though Mr.. EOMUSDs has offered argu'
msnts and prscedeuts to establish his
second premise, that all official papers on
are TO Be turned over to the Senate re
ga-dless Of the wishes of the President OF
heads of the departments, yet there are sc
many presidents and arguments on the
other aide that this premise is by no mean:
fully established.
Il then, the Senator from Vermont ha:
lsilel to show why unofficial papers should
be given up and has left q doubt as &c
Other papers, what has he done? Simply
performed a painful duty. Some Of the
E publican Senators had gotten into q
pretty mess aud it became necessary that
some one should spout, evenifit killed him
/ Mr. EDNCNDs became the victim.
Tuis is what President WASHINGTON said
and acted upon under circumstances SINH

LAND is acting: As it was essential thai
the boundaries fixed by the Constitution

threatened, aud the excitement at some
points is worked up 10 fever heat. Boy
cots are also playing an active part.
Il is hard to forecast the result. The

wonderful influence in the right so

be done better by organizations than any
