BILL NYE's MILKING EXPERT
ENCE.-1 once had an experience
with heifer who was q self-lnade
cow born in obscurity, wore her
brow low, and her tail high, and
was the head of a family. I adj
dressed a common remark to her,
which should not have offended her,
for l have used it in the best society.
I simply said ESQ.," and she seed.
I told her to /" hist," and she histed.
I heard something 60 through the
window with a dull, sickening thud,
and when my parents came out they
found it was me. When I was con-
valescent my father said he in
tended to speak about that red COW.
T wish he had. He said: "You
probably went out singing, for you
have driven away good deal Of
stock that way. When I 20 out to
milk that COW I bang her hair with
"a stool, and milk her. with a pitch
fork. You did perfectly right if
you could not get along with the
row to leave her."

WHAT NO MAN CAN Truly SAY.
No man, in a normal state Of mind,
ever honestly said to himself or any
body else: 81 have no concern
about my own existence. Whether
I live or die is 4 matter Of no conSe-
quence to me. If I die, then
whether I am annihilated or sur
vive that event, and if I survive it,
then what l am and where I am,
whether happy or miserable, in
Heaven or hell-all this is to me
subject in regard to which I feel
perfectly Indifferent. I do not
deem it worthy Of a moments
thought. T am in the same state OF
mind in respect to my kindred,
whether dead or living, so far as the
effect of death on them is con.
cerned." Such creed is not posi-
BILE to a sane human being; and if &
sane man ever talked in this way, he
did not tell the truth, and he knew
it.-N. Y. Independent.

The Ruling Passion.

We had q man named Burrows in
our mining camp, and he was with
out doubt the most notorious liar Ne
vada will ever shelter. His fame as
a liar spread for a hundred miles
around, and men used to stop at our
camp to get a look at him. He
wasn't a wicked man, and he had no
malice about him, but he was a
natural born liar. He lied about his
father, his mother, his wife, broth
ers, sisters and everybody else, and
for every hour in the day he had q
new falschood. He had claim of
his own and was fairly Industrious,
and so we had no excuse to drive
him out, although his lies were con-
tinually kicking up i'll feeling among
the men. One day a lot Of earth and
rock caved in on him and inflicted
fatal injuries, and q number Of us
knocked off work to be with him in
his last moments. You would have
thought the shadow Of death would
have brought q change Of sentiment,
but it did not. Lying there with
ONLY an hour of his life left to him,
he told US that he had been q pirate
on the Pacific anu where he had
buried a large amount Of plumber.
We all knew that he was from Ohio
and had never seen any ocean, but
he stuck to it. One Of the men
finally felt it his duty to say:
Burrows, you have only shor
time to live. You had best spend

No one took his claim, which was
accounted o poor one, and it lay for
three months before one of the boys
dug into it one day for the pick-aNc
buried and forgotten. FIc hadn't
got the pick when he came across a
lump of gold which balanced Sl3,2Sn
in coin, and every shilling was sent
on to the widow, but six months
later went to a sister. In his dying
hour Burrows told the truth about

"Ah" said Mr.. Merton, a little
bitterly. 81 might have known

"You ungrateful wretch !" cried
Cora, with a smile that took off the
sting from her words, "don't yoF

POETRY.
CENTURY HYMN..17s9-1ss9.
BY S. F. SMITH.

Strengthened and trained by toll and
tears,
Born of the bold, the brave and free,
A nation with its hundred years,
Its tribute brings, o Lord, to Thee.
What blessings, from Thy sovereign
hand,
What trials, has the century brought!
How has this free and glorious land
Been loved, defended, led and taught
Our cautious feet, by night, by day.
Slowly the upward path have tired,
God was our light, and God our stay,
In food and fire, in grief and blood.
So the brave oak, in calm and storm,
Spreads It's strong roots and boughs
abroad,
Grows grand in grace and stalwart
form,
Honored of men. and loved Of God.
The century ends-our hosts in peace
Hold the broad land from sen to sea,
And every tongue, and every breeze,
Swells the sweet anthem Of the free.
Still may the banner Of Thy love
Ger all our land in glory rest
Our Hcaven-appointcd ngis prove,
And make the coming centuries nteSt.
