A Little Girls Weird Story.

Once upon time there was very rich
man. He and his wife lived in snug
little cottage in Ireland in the county OF
Roscommon. They had but one daughter
and her name was Bridget. They intended
to give her high education, but one day
as she was going across ditch she fell
down and broke her foot so that it had to
be cut off. Her parents got her foot of
gold. Soon afterwards she died. There
was poor man living in the village; SO
when they buried her they left her gold
foot on and this poor man went and dug
open the grave and took her gold foot. A
long time after, one morning whilst her
ftaher and mother were at breakfast, the
father saw his dead daughter sitting by
the chimney on low stool she had always
called hers. He asked her. care you
Bridget p and she answered, Yes, father"
"Why, Bridget" be said, "what has be-
come of your fine rosy cheeks? p "The
worms ate them, father" "And, Bridget,
where are your nice plump hands," THE
worms ate them, father" ''And, Bridget,
where is your geld foot which gave
your Bridget jumped from her seat and
cried, "The cobbler took it, father" The
man who had taken her foot char c-d to be
with her parents at breakfast. Rushing
at him, Bridget swallowed him as he stood
trembling and moaning before her. She
threw her grave clothes about him and he
disappeared So when she swallowed the
cobbler they saw Bridget no more.

What TO Teach Boys.

A philosopher said that true education
of boys is to ''tesch them what they ought
to know when they become men,"
l. To be true and to be genuine. No
education is worth anything that does not
include this A man had better not know
how to read-he had better never learn q
letter in the alphabet and be true, genuine
in intention and In action-rather than
be learned in sciences and in all languages
to be at the same time false in heart and
counterfeit in life. Above all things
teach the boys that truth is more than
riches, more than earthly power and
possessions.
2 To be true in thought, language and
life; pure in mind and in body.
3 To be unselfsh to care for the feel
ings and comforts of others to be gentle
noble, and manly. This will include q
genuine reverence for the aged and for
other things sacred
4 To be self-rsliant and self-helpful
even from childhood. To be industrious
always and self-supporting at the earliest
proper age. TO teach them that all
honest work is honorable, and that an idle
life of dependence on others is disgrace
full.
When boy has learned these four
things, when he has m de these ideas q
part of his being, however poor or how
ever rich, he has learned the most impor-
tant things he ought to know when he be-
comes man.

Sunday on Boston Common

One Of the most striking things is the
sight which is presented by Boston Com
mon on Sunday afternoon. 1t is coming
to be grand rendezvous for cranks of all
sorts. The salvation army holds its meet
ings here; there are lectures on the faith
cure, on the single tax, on astrology and
on socialism, with all varieties of orators,
who must speak or die of inward imitation.
There is mixture of hymns, Of turgid
eloquence, of wild defamation, of argu-
ment, which it would puzzle the editor of
a prize conundrum column to make head
or tail out of; the singing of psalm tunes
and the humping of holy tambourines
and the waving of gospel banners, the
smoke of vile tobacco and the sound of
Strauss waltzes from the band stand. 1t
is wonderfully orderly for such motley
gathering, but, souls of the Puritans
what would the godly forefathers say
could they but return with earthly eyes to
behold the spectacle !-Ckicago Tribune.

TEMPERANCE Notes.

Alcohol is a poison-an enemy TO the
healthy human system.
A license is permission to the one
receiving it, and pledge of public pro-
lection to his business.
A man who desires to intoxicate himself
may get as thoroughly drunk i'll one
saloon as he can in ten.
If partial removal of temptation to
crime is wise, total removal of temptation
to crime is infinitely better.
Prohibition is the only legislation that
puts the moral as we'll as the legal intiu-
ence of the State against it.
Prohibition does not seek to make men
moral By law, but does seek to stop the
making of men immoral by law.
If the number of saloons in town
should be reduced to one half, the only
result would be concentration of business.
If it were really and faithfully carried
out and enforced, the high license law
would not have the effect to check the
growth of intemperance, or to decrease the
frightful accretions to the vast army OF
habitual drunkards.
If there were last year twenty saloons
in town with an annual product of hive
drunkards each, where is the gain to the
community, or to the family, if there are
this year, but ten saloons, each of which
shall produce ten drunkards

Revenge ls Sweet.
EVEN IF 1T IS ONLY SECURED AGAINST
WEIGHING MACHINE.

EVEN If IT Is ONLY SECURED AGAINST A
WEIGHING MACHINE.
In one of the largest of this city's hotels
there stands prominent In the lobby a
nickel in the slot weighing machine OF
massive proportions and enticing appear
ance. 1t ordinarily does the work honestly,
throwing out a card with the date and
weight printed on it, and throwing in
sweet snatch of operate melody. But its
internal anatomy became disarranged
few days ago just as very thin patron of
the hotel, who is under treatment with
view to attaining comfortable and slightly
plumpness, came in for his daily weigh.
He dropped the nickel in and hoped
nimbly upon the platform, but no strain
of music met his ear and no card showing
q pound or two of development dropped
into his expectsnt hand. He then jumped
lightly up and down upon the platform a
few times to see If the thing would start,
and put another nickel in the slot. Still
the machine remained mute, and the dis
appointed thin man pounded on the plat
form with all his strength and poured
stream of nickels in the cspacious slot for
the next ten minutes with no result but
grievous loss of temper and two pounds of
his recently acquired avoirdupois.
The hotel clerk had the machine re-
paired next day, and notified his slender
guest of the fact that evening after dinner.
'It's been fixed, chr" said the guest.
THAT'S good. Much obliged. But what
about all those nickels put in last night?'
The clerk thought they had gone to
swell the dividends of the weighing ma
chine company, and intimated that the
guest was not acting in the wisest possible
manner when he put his money into q
proken machine.
"Well, maybe wasn't" said the guest,
"but I'm going to get square, just the
same" So he wandered down to the base
ment, borrowed hammer and 8 thin nail,
drove hole in the nickel, begged bit OF
thread and tied it therein and then visited
the weighing machine. He lowered the
nickel until it touched the spring to set
the arrangement in motion and then pulled
it up again in safety. He weighed him
self dozen times and weighed everybody
else in the lobby until he thought he and
the machine were at financial dead CEN
ter, and then let the nickel, thread and
all, go into the strong box of the instru-
ment.-.Neao York Times.

A Bible With q History.

Washington was Mason, the master of
a lodge, ard in that capacity laid the corner
stone of the National Capitol at Washing
ton with Masonic ceremony. The Bible
upon which he took the oath of Office as
rst President of the United States was
used at the corner stone laying of the
memorial arch in this city. There is an
interesting history concerning the preser-
walton of this book. When the gathering
took place at which Washington was to be
sworn it was discovered that no Bible had
been provided. One of the marshals of
the day was Jacob Morton, gallant officer
of the revolution. He was a Mason and
master of St. John lodge, whose place of
meeting was near by.
Every Masonic lodge is required by It's
charter to have Bible within its walls,
and Marshal Mo ton ran around the corner,
found the janitor, secured the key to the
lodge room and brought the book to Chan
cellor Robert R Livingston, who was
grand master of Mssons of New York at
that time, and who administered the oath
to Washington. St. John lodge is still in
existence and has preserved the Bible as
it's greatest treasure. 1t lies open always
in the lodge at the page wherein Wash
ton rested his hand as he solemnly swoFe

Parental Government.

In all we'll regulated households the
father of the family exercises watchful
care over his children. He notes their
various phases of temperament and dispo-
sition, their hopes and fears, their anxieties
and disappointments, their physical devel-
opments and moral progress, and he be-
comes in measure answerable to society
for their good conduct. With the help of
the mother, most youthful minds may be
moulded into gentleness and obedience.
Filial duty then becomes a pleasurable
habit that is observed during life. dis
obedient son or daughter always creates
unhappiness and ultimately brings dis
honor to the domestic circle. A father Is
without power to govern his family if the
mother thoughtlessly opposes him. 1t is
utterly impossible to prevent evil results
flowing from conflict of authority on the
part of the parents. The children are in
sensibly imbued with the spirit of dis
obedience and are quick to manifest it on
the least exercise OF parental auth ority.
A good mother can exercise no holier call
ing than to guide the footsteps of her
children in the path of duty and virtue.

Temperance at Home.
AN OPEN LITTER TO CHRISTIAN WOMEN.

AN OPEN LETTER TO CHRISTIAN WOMEN.
BELv1DERE, ILL.,, June 25.-Dear Sisters:
We desire to call your attention to
thought that seems to us very important
one at this time. We believe 1t to be the
duty Of all Christian people especially
Christian women, to not only use their in
fiuence for temperance, but work for it,
and the proper place to begin is the home,
and carry the Unborn spirit of temperance
on the street and the workshop. Who
ever advocates the principles of temper
ance soon discovers in them their many
virtues, which we realize is hard to i'm
press upon those who really oppose its
benefcence.
We sometimes hear the Christian work
er say: Oh, | have no time to work for
temperance, as wish to devote my spare
time to church work. Where can be found
field that needs Christian service more
than the unfortunate, degraded drunkard.
or the neglected inmates of the place he
calls home We certainly need no guide
to point out to us his home for you will
know it by its forlorn appearance and it's
crying needs. Sisters, can you do better
deed, one that the Master will more heart
lily approve, than to enkindle light for the
spirit. to tender balm to the anguish
stricken heart, and food and clothing for
the suffering body, bearing in mind ssthat
inasmuch as ye hsve done 1t unto the heart
of these We have none it unto me-" Ion
will not have to wait for opportunities to
present themselves, for they are all around
us, ever appealing unto our better natures,
and will until the world is evangelical,
the evils of intemperance wiped out, and
humanity lifted up into the glorious king
dom of God. Let us not wait to be sought
out, but rather may we be ever wstchful
and ready to minister to any needing our
aid. NV attention has been more forcibly
called to this question of the necessity OF
women taking an active interest In the
educating the masses to the virtues OF
temperance since the original Package
decision by the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States
Men, good and true, enacted legisla-
tive prohibition in Iowa. Yet, behold
how easy it was for the Supreme Court to
make the enactment useless.
1t is woman's duty, with her fine SEN
| sibi'ities, to look up and care for all the
neglected portions of humanity. There is
| an immense amount of missionary work to
be done here, and the Christian churches
begin to realize that this is very impor-
tsnt field for labor, and the only lasting
1 and effectual reforms must come through
evangelical and educational work, which
can best be done by women, untrammeled
by the questions of politics
In order to accomplish much there must
be organization. There is strength In or
/ ganization, and If we would accomplish
anything worthy of ourselves we must or
4 ganize. Thanks to Him, "who doeth oil
| things we'll" we now have q woman's
temperance organization, known as the
Non-partisan W. G. T. O., to which al
may come, of whatever shade of politics
and make common cause against the run
power, ever lifting the fallen, and saving
| the multitude. M. A. 8.
