TWO LITTLE GIRLS.

Two little girls came home with grand
pa,
Two little girls ran off from their mas,
These two little girls are cousins you see,
And that is the reason they always agree.
They helped their grandma to wash up
the dishes,
And then grandpa took them a fishing.
While grandpa fished, the girls sat and
giggled,
He fshed and he fished, but never a nib
BILE.
The girls got tired gathering up shells,
And said they would gather bunch of
blue-bells +:
They gathered their flow ers and bouquets
they made,
And when they got tired they sat in the
shade.
Says Maud and Florence, grandpa lets
go home,
We should not have left poor grandma
And when they got home grandma was
surprised,
To see the delight in her little cooks
eyes.
The flowers they gathered were beauti-
full and rare
They had flowers for all and plenty to
spare.
And as they were playing and making
bouquets,
Maud declared it was the happiest of all
her birth days.
Now their days work is over,
And their little prayers said,
And grandma so gently
Has put them both to bed. S. r. w.

The papers are telling funny story
about how Colvin S. Brice got the first
start on the road to his great wealth.
Briefly, it is about this: Ey-Congress-
man Foster and son, of Lima, Ohio
owned little jerkwater railroad from
Sandusky to FOstOria, and made Col
Brice, then brieiless lawyer in Lima,
its attorney, at 81, 900 year. The
road was paying no dividends and its
ownership nearly swamped the Fosters.
But about this time great oil and coal
discoveries in the vicinity gave it an
unexpected Importance and its stock
got place on the list of the New York
board at 81 a share, with the prospect
of a rise. Brice was sent to New York
to work 1T up, with instructions to
sell when it reached $40, which would
save the Fosters. In few weeks it
touched that figure and Brice tele-
graphed to Foster what to do. At the
same time Foster had an agent in
Stark county working up a trade be-
tween the Republicans and Prohi-
bitionists to beat the Democrats, and
that agent also telegraphed for in
structlons. To Brice, Foster replied,
Sell 'em all out, quick as you cam"
and to his Stark county agent, "Do
nothing till come" But the operator
got the dispatches mixed and sent the
Stark county instruction to Brice and
the Brice dispatch to Stark. So Brice
held back, waiting for Foster to come
on" until the stock went up to $47
before the complication was explained.
Then he let go and the Fosters came
out 100000 ahead, of which they
gave $500, 900 to Brice.

A Penitent Thief,

In October, 1887, young man
named James Anderson was brought
before Judge Blanchard, in the cir,
cult court in this city, to be tried on a
charge of burglary and larceny. He
pleaded guilty to the charge, and was
sentenced TO serve five years in the
penitentiary. NJ. II. Moloney was
states attorney at the time. After
serving over two years time Anderson
asks TO be released. He has written a
letter TO Mr.. Moloney, asking that
gentleman to do all he can in securing
a pardon for him. In his letter he
states he has made 800 during the
