In Mrs. George Ticknor's hall always
stood most impressive liveried foot
man, bearing silver salver on which
to receive cards, and showing usually
no more emotion than the wooden hat
rack.
But one afternoon, when Mrs. Tick
nor was out and the house was very
quiet, IN amanuensis, copying notes in
an upstairs room, was startled by a
series Of bowls and yells from below.
She kept at her work, thinking that if
the servants in the kitchen were killing
each other, it was no business of hers.
Soon up came a maid to ask if she
was frightened She said she was not.
ooh. ye amt! Well, 1 thought I'd
tell you, mum, that it's only the foot
man. When the folks is out, an the
house quiet, he can't stand it, and he
has to holler. It's kind O. relievin' to
him. Youths Companion.

"The Missionary to LE0rses.o

Boys are always fond of reading about
heroes-men who have done great ane
noble deeds, and who have left the
world better off for their having lived
in it. The hero I want to tell Won
about here has done MI his work for
the good of suffering animals-the
missionary to horses" he has been
called by one author who has written
lovingly about him.
Edward F. Flower was born in
England in 1906. His father was a
man OF wealth, and at the age of 5
his son received the welcome gift of q
pony. Little Moses" was the pony's
name, and almost with the gift came
the boys first lesson as to the way in
which he should treat dumb animals.
Edward was displeased with something
the pony did, and whipped him, where
upon Nh. Flower the elder promptly
whipped Master Edward, asking him
how he liked the operation. "Not at
all. +" was the boys reply. His father
then explained that an animal should
never be punished except for grave
misconduct any more than boy. Ed
ward learned the lesson we'll, and from
that time he never failed to treat with
kindness any animal that he had to do
with.
Mr.. Flowers boyhood was spent in
the western part of our own country,
where his father established a large
stock farm. Here his time was mostly
spent among animals, which became
his friends and playmates. He was an
accomplished hunter. One of his BIZ

For ambitious Boys.

A boy is something like piece CT
iron. When in it's rough state it isn't
worth much, nor is it of very much use;
but the more processes it is put through
the more valuable it becomes. A bar
Of iron that is worth only IS in its
natural state is worth $12 when it is
made into horseshoes; and after it goes
through the different processes by
which it is made into nendlcs its value
is increased to $40. Made into pen
knife blades, it would be worth $4,000,
and into balance springs for watches,
$685. OO
Just think Of that, boys, piece of
iron that is comparatively worthless
can be developed into such valuable
material! But the iron has to go
through great deal of hammering and
beating and rolling and pounding and
polishing; and so, if you are to become
useful and educated men, you must go
through long course of study and
training. The more time you spend in
hard study, the better material you will
make. The iron doesn't have to go
through half as much to be made into
horseshoes as it does to be converted
into delicate watch-springs. But think
how much less valuable it is Which
would you rather be, horseshoes or
watch-springs? 1t depends on your
selves. You can become whichever
you will. This is your time of pre-
pairing for manhood.
Don't think that l would have YOU
settle down to hard study all the time,
without any intervals for fun. Not a
bit of it. l like to see boys have a
good time, and I would be very sorry
to have you grow old before your time,
but you have ample opportunity for
study and play, too, and I don't want
you to neglect the former for the sake
of the latter Fac.

EARLY LIFE OF ASTRONOMERS.

1t is curious fact that many of the

up the study of the heavens at a late
period in life, and after having pursued
other avocations. Sir William Her

GRIP TIGHT.
By WALTER CRANE.

Enrl Roy lay dying ono summer eve,
BE lay at his easement wido;
He looked at the green and fertile lands,
And said with q fl lash OF pride:
Son Robert, this lordship fair is ours;
Ii any dispute thy right,
have but two words to say to thee,
Grip Tight"
Two short strong words like trumpet call,
Now listen to what they say:
Thaio is tide in the affairs Of men
And it comes not every day.
Ii it bring thee good in some good hour,
Take it, it is thy right;
Wouldst thou keep it thineP there 10 ono way,
Grip Tight
And il thou hast found thy work to DO,
Then this is Thy wisost part:
Count it as one of tho best of gifts
And do it with hand and heart.
ii slack or careless others will seize
A blessing thou helst too light;
The skirt of happy circumstance
Grip tight.
Hast thou home. tho humble and poor,
If love sit down by thy side,
Grip it SO tight that nothing on earth
Thy home and thy heart divide:
II all gifts slip from thy hoedless hand,
Keep this. with jealous might;
Theirs hope for tho man who home and wife
Grips tight.
Thea here's to the man who can win and keep
His love- his gold, and his land
Here's to the true and steadfast heart,
To tho cure and strong right hand;
To him who knows and can hold his peace,
Who knows and can hold his right,
Who says to his heart in the tug OF life
The two short words of the brave old knight,
Grip tight.
