DUCK AND CHICK.

To afiuffy young chick:
"Come down TO the water and swimt
BY fine bit Of luck,
The right path l can pick,
And the horse-trough is full 10 the brini,"

Was the prudent reply;
Il have often been cautioned you know,
With the greatest OF care,
To walk where it was dry
And with glddy young ducks never 60"
She replied with sheer:
ITO me IL is clear.
To your mothers tail feathers you are tied;
You run at her cluck,'
Said this naughty young duck.
81 don't think you have much pride"
The chick hung his head,
While with bushes he said;
81 never have learned TO swim
You see that by my toe
But would like to GO

With his thin yellow legs,
Like long sealy pegs
He walked on the perilous rim.
He watched his friend dive,
And come upstill alive
Though she paid no attention to him.
His mother, the hen,
Called again and again,
But her darling child never replied.
With "A motion too quick.
He had slipped-the poor chick
And he fell in the wa'er and died.

you against harboring snake. Don't put
any faith in Norris Bergman. There are
some on his heels who will make short work
of him if he goes much further. A word TO
/ the wise ought to be enough. He has got
off twice, let him look out for the third
time. If he goes into the bank it will be
worse for you and yours. As surely as he
does, he is doomed man. This is not the
warnings of a friend, but of one who knows.
Heed itn
The signature was the rude drawing Of a
hand reaching up through an open square
Norris fixed his eyes uson it, and his brows
knit. The rambling, foolish attempt TO
brighten him was given its only point in his
mind by that strange signature.
"What does it mean, Norris What
enemy have you TO make such threats ~
81 am as completely at loss about that
as you can be, Althea. This note looks like
the disjointed rawlings of a crazy man to
me. Don't let it annoy you. 1t is not

her glance, searching and intent, upon his
face.

tible pause before the last three words.
"Certainly not. 1t would take much
more than this to make me change my mind
on that point; if any thing, 1t has the effect
TO strengthen my determination.
" Tam glad of that, but oh, Norris be
careful-be careful of yourself. shall live
in misery if any harm comes 10 YOU
There was deep, excited glow in those
great, dilated eyes, which Norris could not
quite fathom. He led the conversation
away from the exciting subject; by making
lightof il, he tried TO relieve her of further
fears. He was glad that she did not know
the thought which had been suggested TO
his mind.
{" II looks as if the villains had spotted
the bank, and were afraid Of my interfer-
ink with their operations Strange if l
should come in the way, for the second
time, of that gang. Only one Of them would
have used that signature, yet it seems
most foolhardy thing to do to warn me in
that way. Ican't understand it at ell; must
be sharp and watehful."
These were the thoughts which clung TO
him after he had parted from Althea Could
he have looked back through the closed
doors, have seen her standing with that
drawn look Of pain on her brows he would
have known chat he had not left her in such
entire ignorance as he imagined. There
was trouble of her own, too, gnawing at
that proud heart.

hands,
Yet the consciousness OF doing right did
not bring peace TO Miss Everleigh's breast.

What had Lyman Childer in common with
those two men How was it that he should
be shaking hands with the thief who was
caught in the very act Of plundering his
house but few weeks before!
They were uuauswerable questions The
distrust which Norris had felt once before
was back again with new force. He
shrank from the dark speculations which
forced themselves into his mind, What

an association with those two frequenters

felt that be was not the one 10 pry into

Two Handsome scasts Which Had Differ
ent Kinds Of Appetites.
Ny friend, the late Rajah Of Burdwan, had

one Of his summer palaces, and we used
frequently to meet kherc and 20 round and

difficulty in procuring tigers, leopards and
bears, which are 70 be found in many parts
Of his extensive estates. But the best Of
his tigers were two which had been pro
cured from the province Of Dude One of
these was called Vizeer and the other had
received the name of Bhecm, because the
natives said he was Hindoo and would not

what he ate The real difference between
them was this Viecer was caught when he
was fun grown, and had for long time
been obliged to hunt for and kill whatever
he wanted TO eat. Bhec;n was captured
when very young and had been brought
up by hand on millx-and-rice diet, which
had been changed to cooked goats
flesh when he grew up. Bheem had
never tasted blood or taken life He
was accustomed to be petted and
patted by the keepers, and was in
fact a beautiful big cat Vizeer was a very

to give him occasionally pig or goat to

taste fresh blood and eat some of the flesh
with hair on IT, Nizeer used to be shut up
in the inner compartment of his den, while
the pig was let down through grating in
the roof into the outer compartment. Be
fore the pig had time to understand the
situation the door of the inner den opened
and Vizeer sprang cut. With his fore paws
he seized the pig aud the next moment his
huge jaws closed over its neck, so that
death was instantaneous. Nizeer never re-
Taxed sis hold until he had drained the blood
from his victims body. He would some
times at once proceed TO eat hind leg,
carving the ham with his sharp teeth and
bristly tongue as neatly as cook could
have cut it with knife. Vizeer would then
compose himself to sleep, and in the course
If the following night he would gradually
consume the rest of the carcass, afterwhich
he would not care to be fed again for two

An Albany lady tolls of an abnor-
mally bright boy in Amsterdam who
called at tho house of an aunt, where he
felt at liberty TO do about as he pleased.
There were some beautiful oranges in
sight The lady had evidently forgot

did not offer him one; perhaps she had
forgotten that there were any in the
house. The young visitor concluded
that something would have to be done.

was in feeble health. His friends did not
expect so sudden a termination OF his
sickness though his constantly failing
health made Ultimate recovery hopeless
He was horn in WeetphaEa, Germany
September 80. 1885, and received good
education. When Is years of age he
emigrated to America and lived for a
short time in Milwaukee where he was
employed as printer on Der Seebote.'
Quitting Milwaukee he came to Manito-

ed by Carl Roesser. In 1857, with the
assistance OF his father he established
"Der Northwestern" In 1861 he enlisted
as corporal in Co. f. Ninth Wis. Infan-
try but was transferred to another regi-
ment. Soon after he was returned to his
original company and held the positions
of lieutenant and quartermaster and
when discharged had attained the rank
OF captain.
On returning from the war he resumed
the publication of Der Northwestern and
up to the time of bis death continued as
it's editor and publisher. In 1867 he was
elected to the assembly and in 1858 and
1872 to the state senate. In 1885 he was
elected county judge.
In the senate and assembly he was
quite an influential member and kept
close watch of legislation. He was es-
teemed quite highly by his associates
and became quite favorably known
throughout the state by his prominence
as a legislator.

and with a following in the county which
made him leader. AS writer he was
direct and forcible. His knowledge of
men enabled him to govern many who
could not themselves account for his as

any purpose he former and his indomi-
table will power never faltered at the in
tervention of obstacles. The dominating
force of his character made men, by no
means weak, plastic in his presence and
bend to his purpose though at first in

and had his ambition been active as well
as potential no man in the state would
have been richer In political honors.
His domestic relations were most pleas

his wife is most exemplary woman.

by night-sweats and cough-prompt
