lieve that he ..knows it all is gener-

In no other pursuit is this more
true than in farming and stock rails

Jennie was standing near the fire,
talking gayly to this one and that,
laughing and singing a snatch of q
skating song, when
Through the stillness-how still it
seemed then!-a cry came of "Help"
The little song ceased, the small
hands uplifted to the blaze dropped to
her side.
''Oh, it's Jackr' was all she said.
They said after that like flash she
darted away-like frightened deer, or
a sunbeam. And, indeed, the light
seemed to have gone from the party as,
open-eyed and frightened, they stared
all but one or two, who rushed whith-
er the cry for help proceeded.
But none were so quick as Jennie.
Fleet as an arrow, and somehow guided
as directly, she went on and ON across
the stream, never thinking of danger,
with no distinct idea of how she might
save him, only saying: ''Oh, God, give
me back Jack!" over and over again.
As she neared the shore she could
make out dark, dark hole in the ice
and a Arlman form at the edge.
Jack, Jackr' she cried, and then
suumDleQ anu Iell-
Was God against herP Had he stop
ped her to let Jack drown? For she
was sure that in some mysterious man
ner she could have saved him could she
have neared that awful place.
Then she saw why she had fallen. On
the square-marked ice lay plank which
the primitive ice-man had been using
for marking-stick. With q cry Of
joy she rose and seized it with both
hands. Oh, was it frozenP No, it
moved, and, as she pushed it along she
prayed that she might yet be in time.
And her prayer was heard and granted.
Jack was almost benumbed. His
hands were letting go when the plank
was cautiously pushed within his reach,
and he heard dear little voice ringing
out clear in the starry night, though
with little quiver:
Catch hold, Jack! Catch holdr'
Then two or three strong skaters
reached the spot and one, at full length,
crept out upon the board and caught
Jacks collar, and the other slowly but
surely drew them to safety-the rescuer
and the rescued.
Strong arms bore him to the nearest
house-skillful hands prepared the best
remedies a splendid constitution
brought Jack out all right.
And, as he lay in the hospitable farm
er's wife's best bed, and the fire
burned up the chimney. he said to Jen-
ME as she sat by his side: -...
Il took good care of you, didn't IP
Your mother ought to have put me in
your hands," And then he stopped.
Somehow-was it the fires glow or
the earnest look he gave her?-her
cheeks Redeemed and she turned her
head.
The next day Jennie found herself
the talk of the town-a heroine indeed.
And old Mrs. Purrit said:
''Well, declare! Who'd a-thought
it2,,

Chfna's Great Wall.

OF course, we had to go to the great
wall of China, says Pekin correspond
ent of the Davenport Democrat. China
abounds in great walls. Her mural de-
fenses were most extensive-walled
country, walled cities, walled villages,
walled palaces and temples-wal after
wall and wall within wall. But the
greatest of all is the great wall of China,
which crests the mountain range and
crosses the gorge, from here some forty
go out 10 the wall would be unpardon-
able. It matters not that the Pekin
wall Ii higher and wider, nor that the
way is cold and rough and often peril
Gus, you must 60 and see the great
wall.
Six mortal hours to make that last
fifteen miles. Squeezing through the
last deep gorges and deep rift in solid
rock cut by ages Of rolling wheels and
tramping feet we reached the great
frowning. double, Fashioned gate of
stone and hard-burned brick-one
archway tumbled in. This was the OBJ
ject of our mission-the great wall of
China. built 2l5 years before our era;
built of great slabs Of well-hewn stone,
laid in regular courses some twenty feet
high and then topped out with large,
hard-burned brick, filed in with earth
and closely paved on top with more
dark, tawny brick-the ramparts high
and thick and castellated for use of
arms. Right and left the great wall
sprung far up the mountain side-now
straight, now curved to meet the noun
tain ridge-turreted each 800 feet-a
fowning mass of masonry. No need
to tell you of this wall-the books will
tell you that-how it was built to keep
the warlike Tartars out-25 feet high
by 40 thick-1,200 miles long-with
room on top for six horses to be rode
abreast. Nor need I tell you that for
400 years it kept those hordes at bay,
nor that in the main the material used
upon it is just as good and firm and
strong as when put In place. To tell
you how one feels while standing on
this vast work, scrutinizing its old
masonry, its queer old cannon, and am
bilious sweep along the mountain crest,
were only folly. In speechless awe we
strolled or sat and gazed in silent won-
der. Twelve hundred miles of this gi-
gantic work, built on the rugged, crag-
gy mountain tops. vaulting over gorges.
spanning wild streams, netting the
river archways with huge, hard bars of
copper; with double gates, with swing
ing doors and bars set thick with iron
armor-a wonder in the world, before
which the old-time classic seven won
ders, all gone now save the great pyra-
mid, were merest trifles-toys. The
great pyramid has $4,000. 900 cubic feet;
the great wall $3.50, 900. 900 cubic feet.
An engineer in Stewards party here
some years ago gave it as his opinion
that the cost Of this wall, figuring labor
at the same rate, would more than equal
that of all the 100, 900 miles of railroad
in the United States! The material it
contains would build wall feet high
and feet thick right straight around
the globe. Yet this was done in only
twenty years, without a trace of debt or
bond. 1t is the greatest individual la
Dor the world has ever known. You
stand before it as before the great Om-
nipotent-bowed and silent.

The Cars Educated Poor.

A st. Petersburg correspondent writes:
A few days ago saw regiment of the
Imperial guards drilling in the Mars
field, preparatory to grand review to
be held on the day of Epiphany. The
colonel in his glittering uniform, riding
on a fiery charger, made beautiful
picture, and could not help expressing
my opinion to Russian reporter that
he (the coloneD occupied an enviable
position.
''On the drilling ground" answered
the reporter, "he is indeed grand fig
ure, but in private life he is as poor a
devil as the rest of U.S. He belongs to
the honorable but miserable class Of the
educated poor. You ought to see this
brave Col. n. trembling before a jani-

working hard to make both ends meet.
The common salary for these men on

ty-five years ago that amount of income
was considered sufficient, but the con-

since then. Still, the imperial govern

miserably poor, always trembling for
the fate of their families. am told that
most of the professional men of this
country, when they die, are buried by
subscriptions among their friends, and
that their families become paupers.
The czar controls the amount of sala-
ry of his officers; and all the educated
men, except merchants, are somehow
imperial officers; but his majesty cannot
control the price of the necessaries of
life, and hence the trouble.

Calling the Sandman.

Now mildly mid nod, and mildly dee dee,
o where can that lettering sandman be?
This baby's eyes are bright as pins, heSh-ho;
Now where is that sandman lingering so2
o sandman, dear sandman, wherever you be,
Hasten, pray, to this boy on my knee!
Perhaps he's at work far across the deep,
A-getting the little Jap boys sleep;
Or tripping on through an EsQuimaux town,
To fasten some winking eyelash down;
But sandman, dear sandman, what shall we do
To still this young tyrant's shout of, Goo,
goo?'
The bee is asleep in the crimson rose,
And mildly mid nod the poppy's head goes;
The yellow chick sleeps meath the @d hens
breast,
But here is my bird still out of his nest.
So sandman, dear sandman, DER land and DER
sea,
Haste, sprinkle your grains in this young
rogue's ee.
Soft the fringes drop DER the bonny eyes,
Sparkling like the stars in the midnight skies;
Through the parted lips that two pearls dis
close,
How the sweet breath comes, how the sweet
breath goes.
Why so quick and 50 light the sandman slept,
We hardly knew when the baby slept!
