He Sat ON tho Fire.

A householder discovered that .
spark from u ncighboring con6agra-
tfon had fallen upon his own slightly
slanting roof. and had set fire to the
shingles. All the buckets and tubs
had gone to the big lire, and there was
no one to send after them. even had
there been time for such u measure;
but the man was equal to the emer-
gency. He rushed TO pond near by.
and deliberately sat down In tho wa
ter: To run upstairs and out upon
the roof was the work Of moment.
and then he sat on" tho fire In more
senses than one. and saved the house.

THE BABY'S BEAD.
! am only a bit of amber

am only bit of amber
That dazzles the baby's eyes;
But the light in my innermost chamber
Is the light of the pristine skieA
For ages ago and ages,
When, far in the upper air,
Vast frs, like old archimage4
Shed incense everywhere
And, all In the wide gray weather,
Which wrapped the whole round worids
Eolemnly waved together
As the thick warm vapors curled,
In the sunshine's sudden bursting
oozed from q topmoSt bow,
And drank that splendor thirsting-
There is no such sunshine now
And the wings that came round me flashing
None like them are fluttering here
Icaught in my heavy FLASHING
And sealed in my shining sphere.
oh, life that was wild and glorious
When the elements wrought for man,
And waved over fire victorious,
Shaped the earth to her ancient planl
Then the tides, in the great world changes
Rose in their mighty turn,
Rolled over the fir trees ranges
And the plume of the giant fern.
And ages had passed and ages,
When the winds scooped the deep sea floor,
And the seas in their storm blown RACES
Tossed me to light once more
And now, half jest it may be,
Half charm, you hang in your mirth
Roung the throat of the new born baby,
The oldest thing on earth!

The Pope a Great Chess PLAYER.

The pope has weakness for chess
He, is very fine player, and in the
amateur ranks is said to have few
superiors in the knowledge of gambits
and openings. There is one priest in
Rome who has the especial honor of
being the pope's adversary over the
board. This priest-Father Giella-has
played chess with Leo Pecci for thirty
two years past. When Cardinal Pecci
was raised to the papal throne, Father
Giella, who was then in Florence, got an
invitation to proceed to Rome and take
up his quarters in the Vatican. Giella is
hot tempered, and has been known to
look very black indeed at the vicar of
Christ across his chess board. The pope
takes Giella's temper good naturally,
and often improves the occasion by a
little homily on the virtues of resigna-
ton and meekness. London Court
Journal.

Her Fathers Poor Cigars,

A well known congressman, who loves
q cigar, good or bad, had a box in his
library which was bad, and his daughter
quietly threw them away. That even
ing distinguished judge called, and the
NJ. G. during the evening asked him to
smoke, and went for his cigars. They
were gone, of course, and the judge made
good the loss by getting a couple out of
his own pocket, and the two friends set
tied down for smoke. In the midst of
it the daughter came in.
"Whew!'' she said, supposing her father
had laid in new stock. "Whew!'
"What is it!" asked the NJ. c.
Smoking those cabbage leaves again,
are you? They're awful, papa; simply
awful"
By that time the judge began to wonder
what he was getting, the M. G. went into
a laughing fit and the girl concluded she
had made mistake and flew. Later the
NJ. G. explained to the judge, and all was
forgiven. Washington Critic.

Do Not
Be Deceived

If you decide to take Hoods Sarsaparilla, do
not be induced to buy anything else instead.
In some stores persistent effort is made to sell
other articles when Hoods Sarsaparilla is called
for, simply because little more profit will be
made on the substitute preparation. Now we
submit that such efforts are not honorable and
ought to be discouraged by all who like fair play
Therefore, if you call for Hoods Sarsaparilla,
insist upon having it. Isn't that fair?
