The q. rgr,nan and tho noxs.

In Kansas town one of the churches
gave an ice cream and strawberry festi-
val, the price of admission to which was
dime; but the dime covered the priyi-
lege of a plate of ice cream in addition to
the admission. The idea in charging an
admission fee was to exclude certain
boys who might possibly be rude, and
who We're not likely to have money
enough in their pockets to make them
large purchasers. Several bows hung
around the door begging for admission
without pay, but were refused. An
elderly clergyman who happened to see
the refusal quietly handed two Of the
boys dime each, and tod them co go in
and be happy. Presenting their dimes
at the door, the boys were surprised to
be refused again. The doorkeeper gruflly
remarked: ''G'way, boys, g'way; we
don't want no boys here The elderly
clergyman, who is fond of bit of quiet
fun, then collected all tie boys he could
find in the immediate neighborhocd of
the church. They numbered seven in
all, including the two originals Several
of them were barefoot and none ~pofs
full dress suits.
Being well known to the people of the
church, the old clergyman thought he
had right to invite such guests as he
pleased to the festival. So he marched
the boys in and paid their fare The
doorkeeper snarled as politely as he
could and said: ''We don't admit boys.
sir" Said the clergyman: ''Theae boys
are my guests; you will admit them if
you admit me, - The whole party passed
in. Then the clergyman saw the boys
seated at table and supplied with ice
cream. In order not 70 embamass them
by his presence he retired and looked at
them through window while they en-
joyed the feast Instead of raising
riot, as the church people had feared
that such boys would, they behaved
themselves as properly as any of the
other patrons OF the festival The clergy
man said that his little Joke was worth.
all the money it cost him; and that hs
not only had the pleasure of seeing the
youngsters enjoy their ice cream, but of
teaching the cold hearted church people
a useful lesson. Some day those BOYS
may be as important and as prominent
in society as any members of the church.

The Glorious Apple Tree.

Men will journey a long distance,
women viii go into ecstasies, adjec-
tives will be worn into shreds, and
crowds will push and jostle to see a
century plant in full bloom If, now,
a good, healthy, honest old apple tree
would bloom but once in hundred
years. the century plant would be ut
terly forgotten. The overwhelming
beauty and fragrance of the tree
would infinitely surpass the odorless
glories of the plant In the rarity of
its Towering, however, the plant wins
mems awe stuck admiration, and the
apple trees annual prodigality of
sweetness is taken as a matter of
course. But its beauty should find
hearty recognition. A May minus ap
Pile blossoms would be well nigh as
dreary as November Ten thousand
lovely flowers on single stalk, mass
of perfume, and fabric of delicate
beauty wherein the tint of thousand
sea shells is scent And yet, by reason
of its commences, the apple tree in
full bloom receives small tribute of
praise and appreciation, If, through
some law of man or nature, each
state in this Union could grow but
one apple tree, that tree in early May
would be a greater thing for that
state than is Eitfel's thousand foot
tower on the banks of the Seine

JOHNS MOTHER.
She Wanted a Suitable Notice in the Paper

She Wanted Suitable Notice in the Paper
and the Editor Gave 1t.
There was timid knock at the door
of the country printing office of The
Weekly Palladium. After the usual
"come in" there entered faded and
bent old lady, whose dress Immediately
proclaimed her as resident of the far
back townships She had frightened,
eewildered look, and her bombazine
dress was dusty and wrinkled with the
long ride she had taken over the Kansas
prairies in her trip to the country seat

"No, he never told me, am sure"

Pm sorry, but if you will give me the
facts I'll see that it goes in next week,
was the only reply that could make.
John was an awful good boy" she
began. He was good ter me, an that's
what counts. When we came west we had
kinder poor luck. My husban' died an
the other boys left me, an with debts on
the claim an no money ahead l don't
know what I'd done 'cept for John. He
worked night and day, plowin' an plant
in an sowin', He never had harsh
word for his mother-never.
She stopped to wipe her eyes and
found it convenient to look in another
direction,
She continued; "He was 25 years old,
but he looked ten more-he worked
too hard guess it killed him, but l
didn't know he was overdoin'. He never
complained He wasn't sick long-iust

lonesome the claim is now. Jest me alone
in the sod cabin; can't die, an it's only
sorrow to live. had John buried on the
prairie SO could go to him; I'll go to him
fer good pretty soon, hope"
She sobbed little and then recovered
sufficiently to give me the full name, age,
ETC., of the dead youth, after which, her
errand accomplished, she left me to ride
home across the prairies to the lonely
cabin.

"How does it feel to let go of the bal
loon when you are two or three thou
sand feet in the air9' said Thomas +.
Grinley, the parachute jumper. I'm
sure cannot tell. One comes down
so rapidly he has hardly time to an
alyze his feelings. Macclain, my part
ner, compares the sensation to that OF
being upset in the river. We cut loose
from the balloon almost mechanically,
and before we realize we are loose we
have shot down couple of hundred
feet and thereafter the remainder OF
the descent is easy. 1t does not jar
you until when you strike the ground,
if you strike on your feet. In fact,
there is less jarring to the system than
if you jumped off of six foot high
fence. Neither is there any appre-
ciable difference in the air to- the
height which we attain. 1t is a great
deal purer, though, but not as rarefied
as you would suppose. p Washington

There are three big rocks in the Poto,
mac just above Georgetown called the
Three Sisters, after three mythical maid
ems who persisted there in some romantic
way centuries ago. Strangely enough,
they mark the saddest part of that beau
tiful stretch of river, for it is at that
point that boats usually upset and swim
mers usually drown. But strangest OF
all is the fact that on the night before
such death the people living on the
shore hear the Three Sisters softly moan
ing-a sound distinct from every other,
and never heard save on such occasions.
Wednesday night, for example, just as
the Georgetown college clock struck r.
the moaning sounds came floating ashore
from the Three Sisters, and on Thursday
noon a shell capsized as it passed them,
and its owner was drowned -Philadel-

Great Mountain Ranges.

The South American Andes, which
have an extreme length, without al
lowance for deviations, of 4. 500 miles,
is the biggest mountain range in the
world. But to mark the scale on
which nature has nodded the New
World the Andes may be regarded as
merely part of the sufficiently con
tinuous chain of about 5000 miles,
which loses itself near the mouth Of
river Mackenzie toward the shores of
the Attic ocean. The Old World has
nothing to bring into comparison with
this as regards bulk, though in height
the Himalayas stand unequaled with
an average altitude of from 10000 to
10000 feet, eliminating in a stupen-
dous peak that scars nearly 10000 feet
into the air. The length of the Hima
layas is, however, only third Of thal
of the Andes considered separately. or

A BIG IRON TRUST.
A Scheme Ostensibly for the Benefit OF
the Sout hern Maker.

the Southern Maker.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 22.-Mr. George
II. Hull, of this city, has been at work for
several months arranging combination
among the manufacturers Of pig iron, for
what purpose is not clearly known. Mr..
Hull is an iron commission merchant, and
at present is IN New York on business per-
tanning to the combination. Mr.. Howard
Tracey, manager of the company and Mr..
HulPs associate in his plans, stated that
he did not feel at liberty to say much
about the combination, but he asserted
positively that the chief object was to ben
eft the iron industry of the South by
bringing to it great increase of capital.
He also declared that the combination
would have no effect toward increasing
the price OF iron TO consumers. The rea-
sons for keeping the affair secret he gave
by stating simply that publicity would have
interiered with Mr.. Hull's plans, and
thus might have caused delay and pos
sibly failure to carry them out. The pa
pers devoted to the iron trade, he said,
had promised to assist in keeping the
matter quiet. Mr.. Tracey declined to fur
nish any further information concerning
the progress OF the scheme, but it seems
from what could be learned that il is al
ready complete. Other iron dealers here
state that, so far as they know, the COM
bination originated by Mr.. Hull is ar
ranging simply TO have furnaces store
their products in warehouses under the
control OF general custodian, who shall
carry the keys and issue receipts for iron
stored therein, these receipts TO be used
for pledges TO raise money upon in banks.
The scheme is pronounced impracticabe
however, and the general idea is that
Mr.. Hull is arranging trust TO fix and
: control the output OF the Southern fur
