The Democrat, in its account of the ap-
pearance of the Colby dramatic club in

the club had left without paying print

was made under "a Misrepresentation, and
since the paper containing II was pub
ed different members of the club have
been falling all over themselves to settle
up that little bill. 1t has since transpired
that the money was left with the clerk of
one Of our hotels. who paid it to one of
the Democrat force rs directed, and it
was through the latter's neglect to men,
ton the fact that the mistake occurred.
The fault is all ours, and We humbiy beg
the pardon of the Colby dramatic club.

fair. also, to state that the members of
the club went down into their pockets to
foot the bills after they bad been invited
here to play for the benefit of the Clark

their expenses would be paid, and that
they made special efforts to look up and

TEDDIE'S VICTORY.
BY M. W, c.

"Oh-hl What is that?"
And little Teddie stopped short in his
brisk walk on that chilly November morn
ing. With one hand he held firmly in
place his poor apology for hat, which
the wind was doing its best to tear from
his head. With the other he picked up
a well filed purse that lay at his feet.
He tucked his hat under his arm to keep
it safe, and with both hands held tight
the wonderful purse, that seemed ready
to burst with it's wealth. He turned into
an alley to examine it. Such a purse as
that his little hand had never held in it's
grasp before. There before him lay a
glitterinR gold piece, while roll of bills
were carefully folded away in another of
it's pockets.
"Ob," he said aloud, "God must have
dropped the purse from heaven for me,
because Madge and L both prayed to
him so hard that he would send us some
money to buy Goals. II is SO cold with
out fire." And the little thiDly clad
figure shivered in the chill air. "I'll run
to Madge with it." And putting the purse
in his pocket, where he could hold it
firmly with his hand he started as fast as
his feet could carry him for the attic he
called home.
But voice somewhere under Teddie's

The reliable Western Farm Mortgage Co.,
With view to increasing and extending IFS
present remarkably prosperous business, has
recently re organized as the Western Farm
Mortgage Trust Co., with two bank presi-
dents as leading officers, and new stock
holders worth several million dollars. The
paid-up capital of the company now is an
even half million dollars. We learn with
pleasure that the faithful men to whose wise,
vigorous and sagacious management of its
affairs the company is indebted for what it
to-day is are to retain active connection with
the recognized company. There is every
reason to feel assured that under the re-
organization and with ifs enlarged resources
this company will continue to grow in popu-
lar esteem, and as heretofore merit the con-
fidence of all good men.

torious armies?-he raised it to his lips,
and licked it clean. As he handed it over
the counter to Mrs. Tnbbs she said cross
ly, young man, this is just toe sticky"
HIS heart quaked, but he he said to him
self, General Washington wouldn't
have cared" and Strengthening himself
up looked into her face with calm dig
dain. She glanced of him suspiciously,
but eaid nothing further, and her small
customer received his change and left
quickly, hoping none of "the boys" had
been spying about. Alas, vain hopel As
he emerged from the store a voice greet
ed him with "Halloo, General Molassee"
This was ignominy indeed. A fellow
imp had seen and heard unobserved. and
poor Willie retrested homeward, frown-
ing, and striving to parry the thrusts of
his grinning tormeDtor.
Soon the exploit of General Molasses"
was noised about the neighborhood, and
for many a day Willie's title clupg to
him. In vain our small warrior battled
in his own defense. In vain his big
brother, taking pity, threatened dire
vengence on the enemy-it was long ere
General Molasses" was lost to fame.
That famous history still lives, but
Willie is big William now, growing bald
and fat in the busy whirl OF a great
Western city. Dollar bills are abund-
ant, and the shape of molasses jug pro-
badly floats vagely through his mind,
but there is one who smiles delightedly
when she thinks of that sticky greenback
and all the other quips and cranks of
that funny, absent minded little brother.

was not long after that visit before she
came again, and took them all TO lovely
sunny room, far from Poverty Row.
They gathered about the bright fire on
their first evening in their new home, and
the cozy room with it's many comforts
seemed like paradise indeed. Teddie
crept close to Madge, with wistful look
on his face.
"What is it, Teddie?" she asked.
/ was thinking" he said, show much
better it was that / turned about and
took that purse back"
"Chat was your victory, Teddie. And
you see it is always best, even in this
worlds wisdom, to obey God, and do
what your conscience tells you is right
God sent friend to us because he knew
you were determined to do right"
"And all this good" said the little boy

Out Youm9 People,
THE LITTLE MAIDS SERMON.

A little maid in a pale blue hood
In front of large brick building stood.
AS she passed along, her quick eye spied
Some words on a little box inscribed.
Twas box hat hung in the vestibule,
Outside the door of the charity school.
Remember the poor were the words she
spelled,
Then looked at the dime her small hands held !;
For chocolate creams we're fresh that day
In the store just only across the way.
But CLEANS of victory shone DER the face
AS she raised her eyes to 1.-THE money-place."
But her arm was short and the box SO high
That a gentleman heard, who was passing by,
"Please sir, will you lift me just so much?
{For the tiny fingers could almost touch)
The stranger stopped, and he quickly stood
BY the sweet-faced child in the pale blue hood
AS he lifted her, she gently said:
s'would you mind it, sir, if you turned your
head?
For you know / do not want to be
Like proud, stuck-up, old Pharisee."
He humored the little maid, but smile
Played DER his face as he stood there the
while.
Excuse me, child, but what did you say?'
The gentleman asked in a courteous way,
AS he took in his the wee white hand.
L believe didn't quite understand
"Oh, sir, don't you know Have you never
read,'
Said the child, amazed, what the Savior said?"
IS We should not give like those hypocrite men
who stood in the market-places then,
And gave their aims just for folks to tell,
Because they loved to be praised so well:
But give for Christ's sake from our little store
What only he sees, and nobody more.
4:Good-by, kind sir, this is my way home
I'm sorry you'll have to walk alone"
The gentleman passed along, and thought
OF large sums given for fame it brought;
And he said: never again will be
In the municipalities Pharisee.
She preached me a sermon,-'twas true and
good
That dear little maid in the pale blue hood!'
