i Painting book, for which h6 thought
he should get q prize, as he was paint

t. His mother had said to him
"Do not be in q hurry over the pic

The window was open, for Vt was a

voices Of some children in a fed near.
| One said (:
"scc-saw. Mar-ger-y Daw."

said Harry.
Then he got up and put his book OH

In a field not far away some dlild-
rem were at play; they had put Tong

girl was pulling down the plank so
that he went high up, quite as high as
the pal-ings.
Then another child had turn OH

Harry said to himself:
1T must be very nice I should lie

Just then his mother came into tls

His mother looked out Of the win

So Harry put on his hat, and ran
across the field, and said
VI have seen you playing from the
window, and l have come to ask you
IT you will be SO kind as to let me have
ride on the plank. 1t must he very

The boy who was on the plank again
Jumped off as soon as he touched the
ground, and said:
''Ohl yes; but you must hold fast,
for the plank is not very steady"
So Harry took his place, and lie
went up and down many times.
II like it very much" he said when
he got off; "and I thank you for let

Then hs went back to the house,, and

One evening few years ago. d.
schooner dropped anchor In an un-
known bay Oh the east coast of New
Guinea. a. boat put off from the ves-,
sci, landed O. man and his Dortmanteau
on the beach, and put bRek again, nhe.
schooner at once sailed away, leaving
the solitary figure on the beach in the
darkness. No white man had ever Wis
tied that savage coast before, and no
man inspired by q less lofty purpose
would thus have ventuped among the
utterly unknown sayages OF Astoiabe.
bay. The man was Or. Miklucho,
Maclay, the Russian ethnologist, and
his burning zeal to add to human
knowledge, led HIM, like many other
heroes of science, to. forego all COM
fort and hazard his life. When. the
natives next morning found the white
man sitting on the beach, they thought
the strange object had dropped from
the sky. They nearly killed him in
their experiments to determine
whether he was 3 god. They i'm
prisoned him I'm a hut and watched
him day and night. They nearly
starved him, because a god should not
require food. They tied him to tree
and shot arrows close to his head and
neck, because, Il he were q god, he
should not be frightened. Two Of the
arrows inflicted severe flesh wounds
upon the helpless captive. Then they
pressed their speans against his teeth
to make him open his mouth, and in
many other savage ways BoreLy tested
his temper, courage and strength.
ATT last they decided that he had
dropped from the moon and that he
was not q god, because his wounds
bled and he needed food, hut they
voted him good fellow and grew
daily moro anu more fond Of him, be-
cause he was always cheerful, how
eper, much they annoyed him, and
many Of their sick soon recovered un.
der his skillful care. For two years
Dr. Maclay lived among these savages
feeling amply repaid for all his terpi-
BILE sacrifices by the weaiJh Of sclen-.
tiic facts he was able to collect.
Money could not have tempted him
thus to jeopardize his life and give ,p
every civilized comfort, but the facts
he gathered were needed to complete
his long studies among the races of the
western Pacific, with the ardor of the
born devotee Of science he was eager
to make any sacrifice that would yield
him tho knowledge he sought.

Didn't Know He Was President.

When Charles Crocker was at Port
land on his spike tour oyer tho Cal,for-
MIA and Oregon. AN incident occurred
which Is illustrative Of the bewlldering
magnitude OF tho railway interests Of
that gentleman. He received a call at
the Esmond house from the general
manager Of the Oregonian railway, q
little narrow gauge formerly under the
control Of q Scotch company. Mr..
Cr0cker regarded the visit as purely
complimentary, but When the narrow
gange manager began to talk about the
prospects of his line, the need OF repairs
at certain points, and gave the magnate
the assurance that it was fairly pros,
porous concern. Mr.. Crecker's mind
became cloudy. He clearly did not
know what the man was driving at.
Still the official went on until he was
interrupted by friend who happened
TO be present. and who said:
s'Mr. Crocker. doesn't understand
what all this is about.''
''Oh, Iguess he does" said the gem
eral manager, with q confident air. II
guess he knows that he Is president Of
this railroads.
s'But I'm----if he did, said Mr..
Crocker, until you said so this mo-
ment."
The incident created ripple of
merriment among the railroad mon
who happened to be present, and some
Of the Portland magnates who heard
the story thought great deal less of
their railroad interests when they re.
fleeted on the fact that here was a man
who was president Of a railroad and
didn't know it..
