GOOD DEEDS.

Lily Kilsby, aged 6 years, reached
San Francisco last week from New
York. She was carried free by the
railways as a charity, and fed by the
other passengers. She said her
mother was dead, and that she
hadn't seen her father for years. The
San Francisco police took charge of
her.

for which the last New Hampshire
legislature appropriated $4,000 and
the WOman's Christian Temperance
Union a like sum, has been establish

having been purchased for that pur-
pose The estate includes two acres
of land and the house contains IA
rooms.
Miss Clara Barton says that since
June 18th over 10000 persons at
JOhnstOwn have received aid at the
hands of the Red Cross representa-

been supplied with the articles neces-
sary for the re-establishment of home

ALWA VS. AHEAD.

We take pleasure in announcing to
the public in this manner that we
have established still another enter
prise in connection with the Kicker.
The New York World has its way of
showing its enterprise, and we have
ours We haven't got fourteen web
presses at work, nor can we afford
to send an expedition to Africa-not
yet. We have had for some time
under one roof newspaper Office, a
grocery, a feed-store, a harness-shop,
a candy-store, and a glove-factory.
We have now added a butcher-shop.
While all these things will be run in
connection with the Kicker, and by
the same editorial staff, subscribers
won't be obliged to take anything
but the paper. We leave others to
do the Dragging, but we think we
can justly point with pride to this
mammoth aggregation of business,
all edited by one central head, and
all steadily improving in genuine
merit Arizona Kicker, in Detroit

THE PA sroR,s VACATION.

Home returneth the good pastor
from an earned vacation in Europe,
joyously greeting his native land.
To him the elder, far better than the
pastor, comes with fervent greeting
for his welcome home. Shaking his
head sadly, he says, with earnestness
that far outstrips his originality,
''Ah, parson, the devil never takes a
vacation" mo, indeed, the parson
replies, with unexpected outburst of
genuine heartiness, g he doesn't need
one; he never works hard enough.
If he should take my contract to
drag this congregation up hill to hea-
ven, instead of merely amusing him
self by dancing with it on the prim-
rose green, he'd want a vacation
every six weeks, and then he he'd
break down before the year was out.

THE MILLION STAMP SWINDLE.

Now and then some one announces
himself as the victim of the one mil
lion postage stamp hoax. 1t is firm
" believed that if 1 100000 stamps
are collected and forwarded to some
one, bed will be provided for an in
valid boy in some hospital, or home
for an orphan. Christian churches
have been the special victims and
there is hardly one in England, the
United States, Australia India or in
any other country, that has not had
several members begging, borrowing
and even stealing postage stamps in
order to make up the million that
will go to clothe and feed some or
phan or old person.
This swindle originated in the fer
tile brain of postage stamp collec-
tor at Stettin, Germany. He desired
and sell again, and hit upon a plan
to set the whole civilized world to go
to work for him free of charge. He
preyed on the sympathies of people
by announcing that an orphan would
be cared for in "the Syrian Orphan
Home" for every 1 100000 stamps
sent to him. This worked we'll; and
the next dodge was the starting of a
my thical mission in China, the Holy
Sisters of which agreed, for every
million stamps sent to them, to save
from the jaws of the crocodiles of
the Yellow river at least one Chinese
baby, and then educate and christian
ize it. The stamps were to be sent,
not to Jerusalem or China, but to
Munich or Stettin. The last claim
on the sympathy of the world, that
has been made by this German, is
that for million stamps a home for
an old lady or an old gentleman in
one of three homes-one in London,
another in New York and the third
in Cincinnati. For half a million
stamps bed will be endowed in a
hospital and for 100000 a home
will be found for an orphan for one
year. There are agencies in various
cities to forward stamps to Stettin.
1t is estimated that this swindler has
collected over one hundred million
stamps in the United States alone
and that these were worth from half
million dollars to three times that
amount GOOD Housekeeping for
November.

HE TOUCHED THEIR HEA RTS.

1t was touching story which the
late Lord Shaftesbury told of some
of the greatest roughs in the East
End of London. Ayoung clergyman
in one of the most wretched parishes
had asked his advice as to how to
deal with the terrible human vice
and misery of the place Lord
Shaftesbury had counseled him to be-
gin by establishing ragged school,
and had at the same time furnished
the necessary funds The school met
with immediate success, but it was
impossible, in spite of all the wears
efforts, to induce the people to come
to church, and the young clergyman
finally resolved to meet them by
preaching in the open air. He select
ed one of the worst courts, and had
the benches from the school taken
there for his hearers to sit upon, but
was dismayed when he came upon
the scene to see the front row occu-
pied by number of the most notori-
Gus roughs of the neighborhood,
who, he had no doubt, come to
break up the services. To his sur
prise, however, everything went off,
quietly, and when the services were
over he stepped up to the leader of
the gang, told him he had not ex-
pected to see him there, though he
was very glad to welcome him, and
asked him what had brought him
The man said: We'll, sir, you've
been very good to our little kids, so
| said TO my mates: Parsons goin'
to preach in - court on Sunday
night. It's roughish place. Let's
go and see fair play That's what
brought us"

NEWS IN GENERAL.

Evidently there will be no tricks
played with the Presidents message
this year, as it is reported from
Washington that the document will
not be put into type beforehand and
that only a limited number of type
writercopies will be prepared for dis
tribution.
The postal card was twenty years
old on the first of October. Austria
has the credit of first adopting the
invention, though it was first advo-
Gated by the German postmaster
general. On October I, 1869, a
Correspondent Karte" first burst
on the continental world.
The Littleton Musical association
has engaged Carl Zerrahn to conduct
its 22d annual festival in January
next. Mrs. Martha Dana Shepard
will serve as pianiste, and Blaisdells
orchestra will furnish the instru-
mental music Messrs. George ].
Parker and Ivan Morowski, and the
Ladies Shubert Quartet have been
secured to assist.
Gov Knapp of Alaska, late ofMid-
dlebury, has made his annual report,
from which it appears that the white
population of his dominions is about
$500 persons. The condition of the
natives is improving, but it might be
better. He recommends various
changes in the laws which are requir-
ed in order that the development of
the country may go on.
Capt E. D. Ellsworth, father of
Col. E. Ellsworth, one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of Me-
chanicville, N. Y, aged so years, died
in that village recently. In 1861 he
was given command Of the arsenal
at Fortress Monroe, but held the
position but few months, when he
was ordered to take charge of the
arrnory at Vergennes, VT. Many
mourn the loss of a true and kind
friend, and the town the loss of a
citizen.
The term Uncle Sam came INTO use
in the war of 1912, and originated
at Troy, N. Y. The government in
.spector there was Samuel Wilson,
universally known as Uncle Sam.
Whenever he inspected supplies fur
nished the government he branded
them U. S. meaning United States,
but the Authorization being then new
and not generally recognized, the
workman supposed it to mean Uncle
Sam, the Inspector. Afterward, the
story was repeated and got into
print, and from that time the name
has been facetiously applied to the
United States.
Reports from along the Yang-tze-
Kiang river in China show that the
horrors of the Yellow river floods of
two years ago bid fair to be repeat
ed. The accounts say that the
waters of the river have risen to an
extraordinary hight, and Hankew
Bund is under water. Five hundred
families were drowned at Wang
Choo, while in one district 10000
people are homeless. While for
thousands of miles around Shanghai
the country is flooded, yet the prov
ince of Fo KEN is suffering from
drouth, no rain having fallen since the
early part of August in that district.
