He VAS FINALLY forgiven.

HE VAS FINALLY FORGIVEN.
A Lewistown little boy declared a
philosophic independence and accepted
the consequence in so matter of fact a
way last week that it may make a story,
even if it is not so very funny. His
mother dressed him up in a new flannel
shirt and sent him to school. The shirt
irritated his c%uticle, Oh, in other words,
he itched. When he came home that
night he was cross, and very cross for
o small q boy. and he declared he and
the shirt had parted company forever.
The next morning, as the mother pre-.
pared to dress him for school, the boy
drew the line at the shirt.
NO." said he, II don't wanter wear
that shirt"
A brief debate ensued, in which the
boy appeared to have formed his opinion
and to have decided to stick to it.. The
question, when put to the house, was
carried by the boy who would not don
the shirt.
eff you will not wear it," said his
mother. II shall send you back to bed. !"
Back to bed he went. He got no din
ner. A neighbor went in to see him,
his mother telling her that she had a
bad boy upstairs. The boy lay there
in bed wide awake, his little cheeks
flushed with the situation, but showing
no sign Of change Of heart.
Don't you want to go to school?"
asked the neighbor.
SCHOOL," was the reply. II shall
never go to school again"
Don't you want too"
"Yes, but 1 can't. I've got to stay
here"
'"All your life?"
"Yes'm," was the reply, "all my life.
I shan't ever get up again, prob,ly."
What could q mothers heart do
against SO philosophic an acceptance of
the termination of a career as this?
What but kiss him at tea, and go and
buy the little bunch of pluck some
downy little undershirts that should
never tickle him.-Lewiston Me

IN JAPAN.

Having resolved to paint" a book,
for, as oil the world knows, the JAP
anese use a brush and not a pen, the
author betakes him to his workroom.
1t is a little room, o very little room.
Six mats" is its Japanese measurement.
and a mat is about 6 feet by 4. It is
f"ll OF that soft, dull light which pulses
from asquare white paper ,lantern; the
low bright wooden ceiling gives back a
pale brown CLEAN here and there.
There is a silvery CLINT in the frail
panelled walls, and in a warm gray
Swallowed recess a gold Buddah crosses
his feet and stretches forth his palms,
smiling gently upon the lotus which he
holds. In another recess stand the
curious vessels Of iron and clay and
bamboo for the tea ceremony.
The author sits OF the floor in a flow
ing garment Of brown silk lined with
blue, his legs disposed comfortably I'M
der him. In front of him stands a
lacquered table, about q foot high, and
upon it his writing materials, which
are as idyllic as his surroundings-his
paper isdelicately tinted yellow, with
blue lines running up and down. His
inkstand is a carved ebony slab, with
one end followed out for water to rub
his cube of India ink in, and holds the
four o r five daintily decorated bamboo
brushes which are his pens. Naturally
he does not write his novel, he paints
it. Beginning at the end of the whole,
at the left of every page and at the top
OF every line, straight down between
the two blue parallels his small brown
hand goes, with quick, delicate, dark
touches.
Although this novelist's "copy" might
seem to a stranger to be daintiness it.

pending so largely upon its artistic

the copy" is now entrusted proceeds to

with a professional dexterity which is
something astonishing. american

Some time since nickel-in-the-sIot
machines in Waterbury had to give up
the business because so many blank
pieces Of metal were obtained in II
way or another by workmen at the fac
tories there and were used in the ma
chimes. Now it seems that Waterbury
men have come to provide themselves
with these blanks when they go out Of
town. Thus the collector at the Union
Station in this city was much surprised
Saturday evening when he opened his
machines and found that what promised
to be a big harvest was really a heap of
comparatively worthless metal.-Neo
