The Old Schoolmaster's Joke
on the Bows.

About, twenty-five years ago Simeon
Leonard Boyce, the well-known Chi.
caso lawyer, was pupil at the mill
tary school at Fulton, III. The Chi.
caso Times tells the following story:
One night, in their dormitory,
number OF the boys made up q plan
to take the principals old buggy OF
which tho pupils were all ashamed,
and run it into the river. So otter
everybody else had gone to bed, eight

over to the bu.sy-shed, the eight drag

through back gate with it. and start
ed for the river. When they had gone
beyond hearing distance OF the school
they laid OIL all restraint and talked
freely. They speculated u great deal
on what the principal would do when
he found the buggy missing in the
morning, and laughed loudly at the
stir it would create. When they came
near to the river bank they stopped
and discussed the best means OF run.

Lets start on @ run with it," said
one, "and then all let go when give
the word"
NO. said Boyce, "let's turn it
around and back it in"
That was agreed on. So they turn
ell the old thing around and were
about to start it backward toward
he river, when the principal came
trawling out from under tbs seat, and
caid:
Boys, ] have enjoyed this little
ride very much. Now, il you'll haul
me back, we'll say nothing about it."
They were q very demurelot OF boys
who hauled the old buggy, with the
principal sitting up on the seat, bacl.
to its place in the she'd.

A Remarkable l'arccr.

Gotham has always been Il wonder

it learned then was that lie belonged
to Il respectable family, but had been
rather wild. Fisk crossed his path for

and, it is said, also Threatened his
life. Then came the shooting
in the Grand Central hotel followed
by Stokes long imprisonment in the
Toombs and the still Longer one at
Sing Sing. That was supposed to he

be IL man OF note in the community,
with SO very dark II cloud hanging
over him. lie served his term at Sing

to California.
Very little was heard of him for
some time. Only his personal frirnls
knew how he was employed there.
No one had any thought that, having
been down SO low he would ever rise
again. But the stuff that makes men
rise was in him. After IL while New
Workers heurd that II magnificent bar
the most elaborate and costly in the
city, had been opened in the Hoffman
house, with Ed Stokes as proprietor,
and they went III thousands
to see it. 1t certainly was worth

A DREAM CHILD.

BY FANNY II. AVERY.
Upon my breast baby Graded lies,
Unuttcrahly dear!
little one unseen by mortal eyes,
Der whom Groom the gentlcst lullabies,
To soothe my owns hearts fear.
About my feet my other darlings play,
Nor dream the songs sing
For them so softly Mt the close OF day
Are chantetl also Tor one more than they,
Whose hands about me cling.
This baby's need of love they never miss,
A mothers heart is wide!
But, ah. the great, the deeply longcd 70,
bliss
OF sharing with it. too. my care and kiss,
1s unto me denied.
Oh! little spirit-clid! whose angel face
My f0nd eyes cannot see;
Our earthly fingers ne'cr may intcrlace,
But thy small bslng's tender, subtle grace
lH ever felt by me.

New Years Fest,y:: in Slam.

N. 7. Commercial Advertiser.
All Siamese birthdays are celebrat.
ed at New Years, and at this time
the curious custom Of "hair-cutting'
is observed. When boy reaches the
age OF eleven or fifteen, and girl that
OF nine or thirteen, they are consider.
ed no longer children. Up to this
time Il tuft of hair is allowed to grow
Just above the forehead, and is al,
ways dressed with great care. 1t is
twisted into u graceful knot and held
together with u long gold or jeweled
pin. At the base OF this knot is worn
n wreath OF fragrant white flowers.
The ceremonies OF hair-cutting only
last five or six days. ut is the com.
lnS-out party" OF the boy or gill, and
thereafter they are not permitted to
mingle with the other sex as children,
but are considered to have arrived at
q marriageable age.
AT the time OF halr.cutting OF the
youngest daughter OF the late King,
the entire country assembled at the
capital to witness the services. Plays
and pantomimes, operas and balls,
were given the people tor u week; the
country was in q state of excessive
eXhllarntion. On the last day u pro-
cession OF Slamesc, Malays, Chinese,
Peguans, Burmese, Laos, Karens and
Japanese filed past the King and his
lovely daughter seated upon a throne
OF gold. Groups OF pretty women
danced at the foot OF the throne with
small silver trees in their hands-the
symbol OF maiden purity. Soft music
issued from unseen bands and intoxi-
eating perfumes We're waited from real
and artificial banks of flowers. The
air was charged with greetings to the
happy maid that was that day the
recipient OF no less than thirty-five
offers OF marriage from neghborinQ
princes.
The hair-cuttiny was done in the
Kings chapel by the family priest,
after which the little lady WIS bathed
