Parents are too often slow to see the
motive Of their children's kindest ac-

of some young hero who helped his
father and mother in all sorts of WAYS:
and after racking his brains to think
how he, too, can help, he remesnbers
that he can fetch his fathers slippers.
and take his boots away and put them
in the proper place. Without saying =
word to anybody, when evening comes
he does it; but the father is 90 occupied
that he notices not what the boy bas
done. The little fellow hopes on.
thinking that when he goes to bed his
father will say how pleased lie was to
see Charley 90 willing to help; bat not
a word is uttered, and the boy goes up
to bed with a choking feeling in his
throat, and says his prayers by the
bedside with a sadness very real in his
heart. G4

to remain under the parental roof all

pass the night, intending to visit home
again in the morning. Shortly after
midnight his hiding place was discov-

pieces Of cold lead taken from his

A curious story Of foster relationship
between a wood duck and a hen is
told in the Popular Science Monthly.
The duck was Matched along with a
brood Of chicks from an egg that had
been placed under the hen. 1t was
attended as we'll as her other chicks
by the mother and reached adult age.
Then, when the hen brought out
another brood of chicks, it kept in
close attendance, much to the hens
annoyance, and with occasional result
tant fights. Finally the duck drove
away the hen and took exclusive care
u the chicks during the day, only
giving them up at night.

The baby and puppy were having a

A Good Time in n Coal Cellar;

Senator Hearst of California does not
appear to find much enjoyment in his
wealth. His wife in the family's Wash
ington mansion gave reception which
made even the eXtravagant people Of
the Capital open their eyes. 1t is said
that tie flowers alone cost $4,000.
Moving uncomfortable and alone
through the glittering throng the mas
ter of the house met a well-known
newspaper correspondent. Said the
wealthy Senator eagerly: "Get few
good fellows together and we'll go to
some quiet room and enjoy a bottle of
wine and some ci igars together There
were whispers in the ears of two other
correspondents. and then, led by the
Senator, the quartet marched through
the bic house from parlor to attic. In
every room there was a chattering
throng or wrap-divesting bevy or
piles of hats and overcoats. With
sigh the Senator turned backward. He
descended TO the cellar. Beside the
coal-hole colored servant arranged
table and chairs and brought wine
and tobacco. Now said the Million
aire, with L sigh of relief. "we can

interrupted by those idiots upstairs. l

New Castle (Eng) Chronicle: 1t was

is nothing uncommon for the ravenous
fish to spring foot out OF the sea i'll

will follow a vessel, on the lookout for

their attacks On sharks which try to seize
them, though, it is needless to add, such
mode of combat is possible only when
the monsters do not come n numbers,
