be said.
There has been q tendency OF late to put
boys not over or years of age in long
trousers, but how any mother who cher
ishes the all-too-short babyhood of her
little son can have the heart to do this is
beyond comprehension. One never runs

will rebel soon enough.

to he babied even to the matter Of his

him into long trousers at suitable age and
thereby at least give him AN appearance
of manliness.
1t is difficult to fix definitely lust what
the suitable age is to make the change
from kits to knickerbockers, and from
knickerbockers to long trousers, on ac-
count of the difference in growth. 1t
would be obviously absurd to insist, for

Better than Faith Cure.

There were five men of us and three
women, besides the driver, who were
staging it between two towns in Kan
sas. We set out at o'clock in the
morning for an all days ride, and had
not made over two miles when the old
est man in the crowd, who was from
the Nutmeg State, and built on Yam
kee principles, suddenly exclaimed:
"By gosh to squashw
whats up?" asked one of the lot.
"The toothachel She hit me in that
ere lower double tooth and I'm in for a
bushel of trouble"
"Just try and not think of it," sug-
gested one of the women. "Keep your
thoughts on your family"
He tried it for two or three minutes,
and smile of affection came to his
face 1t suddenly died away, how
ever, to be replaced by look of feroc-
Sity as he yelled ont:
Hang my family, but it don't work
Has anybody got any camphor?"
Nobody had. We hadn't even drop
of whisky. One man had some tobacco,
but the Yankee couldn't go it. The ache,
once started, grew worse, and as he
began groaning second woman
suggested;
"Tve heard say as imagination has
all to do with pains. Suppose you i'm
agine you are sound asleep and dream
ing of angels and such"
He tried it, and for minute or two
the ache let up. Then it struck him
with jump, and he seized his jaw and
yelled:
"Jerusha Jacksonl but I'll be
gaul darned if [ hain't goin' to die
right here? Driver, stop the wagon !"
1t was stopped and he painted to
know how far it was to town. He was
told that it was twenty miles, and he
fetched o groan rod long and said:
"It's got to be done Driver, come
down here"
"What do you want?"
you've got to knock it outi You are
the biggest man in the lot, and l guess
you kin hit purity hard blow. Give
me litter right here on the Jaw"

"But you will go with it,"
Can't help that. Now, imagine that
l've called you -barreled liar
and whale away"
The driver drew back and then
landed on the exact spot, and tho Yam
kee tumbled head over heels in the
grass. He was up in minute, how
ever, and he put his thumb and finger
into his mouth and pulled out two teeth
and shouted:
"Whoopl It's ono extra, but that's

of those we have now has been in the
house a week yet. We have changed a
dozen times in a month.
We'll, 1 have got along tolerably of
late with hay help" the other remarked,
1excepta maid for myself"
But thought you were delighted with
Marie.
90, she was the quickest and neatest
girl ever had in the house-pretty as n
doll, too, wasn't she?-and she knew ev-
erything about toilet and wardrobe work.
But what do you think2 She had cold
hands, and l couldn't bear to have her
touch me. First along l thought it was
impoverished blood that caused it, and l
had our family physician dose her with
iron and other things; but it wasn't any
use-we couldn't warm her hands. She'd
heat them when about to dress my hair,
or do any other job around me, but they
wouldn't stay heated, you know, and I
really had to let her go.
Sc you see that wealth demands the
utmost degree of refinement in luxury,
but at the same time encounters difficulty
in commanding it.
The soul of the housewife of the day
is much vexed by reason of the servant
question. 1t is cry that the domestic
is becoming uncomfortable. 1t, as
class, has dared to assert itself, and we
hold up our hands and wonder what tho
upshot will be. The servant question is
old. Our grandmothers and great grand
mothers, and remoter ancestresses still,
sat in solemn conclaye and lamented the
days when servants knew their place and
did their duty to the satisfaction of their
masters; and as far back as we can trace
the servitor seems always to have been
regarded as troublesome person. The
same old story is repeated for genera
lions, and will, l suppose, ever supply
the housewife with rich mine of COM
plant. The reverse side of the medal is
not often contemplated, but would ask
you 10 consider it; for while we rail in
the parlor, know that we are q no less
fruitful source of complaint in the
kitchen, and that we should find it very
hard to refute the charges against us if
We stood arraigned in court of domes-
tics. Let us weigh against their inde-
pendence, insolence and idleness some of
our own little failings with regard to
them. Do we ever remember, when we
| have wearied ourselves in pursuit of
| pleasure, that there are, perhaps, tired
limbs and aching heads in the kitchen?
We insist upon the early to rise" side of
a doubtless excellent but not strictly ac-
curate maxim, but its other half does not
commend itself quite SO forcibly when
we have to apply it to the servants;
and We are apt, if we ever permit our
selves to discuss such q question, to ex-
press st ong views upon their proneness
to sleep away their senses" if permitted.
Our own-shall / say tempers?-are not
always strictly under control, either and
we are often led into little displays that
are very unpalatable whom served up to
us again by the cook or chambermaid.
We have happy little knack, too, of
taking the edge off our tempers on these
individuals. We may be mistresses of
ourselves when china falls upstairs, but
our pent-up feelings, strengthened by
repression, are all the more forcibly ex-
| pressed when our maid lays out the
wrong Dress Chicago Ledger.

government for Oregon, because it was

note, went with six warriors up the Ar
kansas River, and, coming in contact
with q superior force of Blackfeet, his
men were all killed, and himself taken
prisoner.
The victorious party at once set out
for their own village, two hundred
miles away. On arriving there quite
a number of the principal men of the
tribe were found to be absent, and it
was decided to keep tho prisoner until
their return, which event was daily ex-
pected.
During his confinement Black Elk's
wants We're supplied by young maid
en-, Whippoorwill by name, whose soft,
dark eyes looked first with pity, then
with love, on her helpless charge, and
she resolved to set him free. Accord
ingly, when she went at sunset to take
his supper, she made known to him her
plan.
Black Elk had not been unmindful
of the many acts of kindness shown
him by this little maid, but had not ex-
pected this. Should he escape, she
would at once be suspected, and most
likely put to death, and his heart grew
warm toward her who would risk SO
much for his sake. He refused to &c
and leave her to suffer in his place
but told her that if she would go with
him and be his bride they would make
the attempt together.
Whippoorwill was unable for time
to decide; her lover, on one hand
friends, relatives, and the home of her
childhood, on the other; but she at
last consented to go.
Returning to her own lodge she INK
iously awaited the approach of night,
for well she knew that should the ex-
pected war party return her lover
would be put to death in the most crueI,
manner.

age heart was full of hatred for this
daughter of the Blackfeet, and the
light that shone in her dusky eyes
BODIED no good to the happy pair.
The hour had come for the marriage
ceremony, and Black Elk sat beside
his intended bride within the nuptial
lodge, now beautifully decorated
with wild flowers and ever
greens, when suddenly, and be-
fore any one could prevent it,
the WillowBough stepped in front of
the open door, and, drawing an arrow
to the head, let it fly piercing the
heart of Black Elk, who fell dead at
the feet of the horror-stricken girl SC
soon to have been his bride. Hastily
throwing the bow aside, she drew q
long hunting knife from her girdle and
drove it to the hilt in her own bosom,
and her spirit followed that of the
one she had loved to the shadow land.
Sorrow and gloom now fell on all
Loud cries of grief and lamentatior
filled the air on all sides; bereavet
friends and relatives blackened thei
faces, and spent the night in mourning
for the dead.
Whippoorwill, thus left among stran
gers, and fearing to return to her owl
people, wandered about for s time, ant
finally disappeared and was seen Mt
more.
The superstitious red men supposed
that she was transformed into the birt
whose name she bore, and all through
the summer nights the note of whip
poorwiil could be heard coming from
the grave of the murdered chieftain.
