I'LL STIR THE BATTER"
A TRUE STORY.

A dear, beautiful little boy in Penn
sylyania signed the temperance pledge
at one of the temperance meetings
held for children. A short time after
wards his mother was busy in the
Kitchen, preparing cakes and pies.
"Davy," she said, Ego up to the
closet and bring down the whisky-iug.
| want some for these mince pies"
Davy, as was his habit, instantly
obeyed. But as he was dancing up
stairs, the thought came to him,
"Can you, a temperance boy, carry
a whisky-jug?'
lie stopped right there and decided
the question. Then hurrying back
to the kitchen he said:
"Oh, mamma! | can't carry a
whisky jug-l've signed the pledge
but I'll stir the batter while you CO."
Without word the mother gave
into his little hands the spoon with
which she was stirring the batter,
and went herself to bring the jug.
She felt q strange, choking sensation
in her Throat, but she walked up
stairs with firm tread and seized the
jug. When she came down, the dear
little fellow was beating away at the
dough with all his might His eyes
followed her as she went to the sink
and began to empty out the contents
of the jug.
"What are you doing, mammal"
"Pm emptying out the whisky.
We'll not have any more in our mince
pies"

eyes, my dear; and mamma will
never make anything again that her
dear little boy can't eat"
"Goodey, goodey! we're going to

And Davy fairly danced up and
down the kitchen, as the whisky
gurgled out of the jug into the sink.

 from the Rural Districts.
 Washington is rather peculiar city in one respect" said Dr G. A. White, chiropodist. ''Of all the cities in the world perhaps not one IS so hard on the feet, especially of visitors. The asphalt pavements and brick sidewalks are very nice, but it is not long before their con- bined influence compel people to limp from painful feet when they come here. have known thousands of people to come to Washington from all parts of the world and here it is that they have the first trouble with their feet. People who como here from the rural districts can tramp over the streets of this city but few weeks before corns and bunions begin to make themselves felt.
 ''The members of the Chinese lega- tion some time ago had very unpleas- ant experience with American shoes and Washington streets. Wishing to conform to our customs to some extent, the entire legation ordered shoes of fashionable style and began wearing them. They had never known what it was to be bothered with painful feet, but after they had made the change in their footgear every one of them had their first experience with corns and 'bunions."
 "Who are some of the prominent men who have had troublesome feet?"
 General Grant had to seek chirop- odist. So did Garfield and Colonel h. gersoll. The latter two were very heavy men, which tended to cause foot troubles"
 "What are the chief causes of tender. feet?"
 Tight shoes, hard pavements and in dustry. There is a constant increase of city is becoming more and more fash ionable center, and small shoe is as much a necessity for some people, ac- cording to their own ideas, as it is to have their clothes cut in the latest style. Then there is no city in the world where so much walking is done as in this. Many people walk miles here, when they would not go square in any other place on foot. The attraction of our beautiful streets and city lures them out for exercise, when they would take a car or carriage in any other place. They might take all the exer- else they do now, and even more, with out foot troubles, if they would but make themselves comfortable with shoes that are large enough. Wash inpton Post

MIGHTY HARD TIMES.
What Washington Territory CoIonists Ats
 a Few Years Ago.

What Washington Territory ColOnists At3
 a Few Years Ago.
 During the spring and summer of 1887 about 800 colonists went to Port Angeles, says tho Seattle Press, and during those same seasons over S3O,- 900 was spent. It was glorious big pie nic. The men would work on the col ony's tramways until they fancied thcm- selves tired, when they would call halt and stop work for the day. They hold stormy meetings, at which all hands would pitch into tho debate, and then after adjournment they would all attend adance and have agloriously good timo of it. This was kept up until the funds were all spent and big debt of about S10,00 or more was accumulated in Seattle and Port Townsend. A cloud had gathered over their heads and they could not see the silver lining. Starva- tion stalked through the colony wig wams and pointed with bony fingers at the victims he intended to carry to his homo over the snows of VII. eer.
 The beef supply was cut down from a whole carcass a week to quarter, and CH0H VhO O0OI ouPP4J "ao OuU O1I uACO- gether The butter bill, which had been ranging as high as s55 week, was wiped out, and the colonists had no butter. Retrenchment was the order of the day, and it was carried to such an extent that the standard bill of fare was as follows:
 Potatoes, bread and cotton-seed oil gravy for breakfast.
 Bread, potatoes and cotton-seed oil gravy for dinner, and
 Cotton-seed oil gravy, potatoes and bread for supper.
 Some people did not have even enough of this. Philip Meagber, who has lived in Port Angeles for twenty six years, says:
 "Many time have I stood on this wharf and counted from forty to fifty lanterns going along that beach. They were colonists, and they carried with them each one spade and bucket, going after meal of clans. They were proud, but l tell you they were hungry, too, and TO mistake"

A Victim of the Law Fined for Giving the
 Court Good Advice.
 An amusing scene was recently en- acted in country courtroom in Maine, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. The trial justice, a big, pompous official with a voice like trombone, took it upon himself to examine a witness, a little, withered old man, whose face was as red and wrinkled as smoked her ring.
 What is your name?" asked the jus tice.
 wy, squire, " said ti-e-rs onished wit ness, ''you know my name as we'll as I know yourn."
 ''Never you mind what I know, or what I don't know" was the caution given with magisterial severity. ''I ask the question in my official capacity, and you're bound to answer it under oath"
 With contemptuous snort tho wit ness gave his name, and the questioning proceeded.
 ''Whero do you live?''
 Wal, l snumr' calculated the old man. "W'Y," he continued, appealing IO IHC 1duS hlHS llSIeHerS, I Ve 1VeQ III this town all my life, and sos he," pointing to the justice, ''an', b'gosh, to hear him go on you'd think"
 ''Silence!' thundered the irate magis- trate. Answer my question or I'll fine you for contempt of court.'
 Alarmed by the threat, the witness named his place of residence and the examination went on.
 ''What is your occupation?"
 "Huh?"
 What do you do for a living?"
 ''Oh, git out, 'squire! Just as if you don't know that I tend gardens in the summer season an saw wood wintersr'
 ''As private citizen do know it, but as the court l know nothing about you," explained the perspiring justice.
 Wal, squire" remarked the puzzled witness, eff you know somethin' outside the courtroom and don't know nothin' in it, you'd better get out an let some body try this case that's got hoss sense.''
 The advice may have been we'll meant, but it cost the witness ten dol lars.

He Is Sti Looking for the Coal That
 Never Came.
 'I remember when I was down in Las Vegas some years ago." said an old-time telegrapher to a Minneapolis Journal reporter, ''thc office was short press report man. Ono day an operator, whosc clothes had seen better days, drifted in and inquired if he could find work. What kind of job do you want?' asked the chief. Are you a report man?' Yes, sir,' replied the newcomer, conf- dently. He was seated at the press wire, and, taking a knife from his pocl- ct, leisurely began to sharpen pencil, tho while listening to the instrument as it clicked of the items. The operators in the room began to wonder why the fast man did not begin to copy, and when he asked check boy where the water-cooler was, and had taken drink from it, they thought the new report operator was good one,' and was try ing to mako a record. By this time the sender at tho other end of the wire was probably fifty to seventy-fiye words ahead, and while they knew that no op- orator in tho world could copy that far behind thought they must have found a telegraphic phenomenon. Then the would-be press man asked where the coal-box was, picked up the scuttle and went outside. After waiting few min utes the chief, who by this time con cluded that the operator was fraud, stopped the sender. The new operator never returned, and it is supposed he is still looking for the coal that never came."

LONG TOM FLETCHER.
How He Silenced Hostile Meeting and
 sHad Things HIS Own Way.

'sLong Tom Fletcher is one of the conspicuous figures in the streets of Washington. Way down in Missouri. and "befo' de wah,p the Colonel, who afterward became the first Republican Governor of Missouri, was known throughout the State as the best shot within it's borders. He thought nothir.g of throwing silver half-dollar up in the air and hitting it with pistol ball, and he had so frequently competed with pistol at forty yards against rife at two hundred, that tho country yokels would no longer permit him to enjoy those trials of craftsmanship at the county fairs. In the early days of 1881, says Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, when politics were rod hot il the State of Missouri, "Long Tom Fletcher" was once billed to ad- dress meeting in country tow aupon the burning question: of the hour It was generally understood before the au- dience assembled thai certain ruffians in the neighborhood had pledged them selves to break up tho meeting and make things lively for tho orator of the occasion besides. Evidence of stormy times ahead was by no means wanting the moment Fletcher stepped upon the platform, but coming forward he quietly placed large Colts army revolver upon the table and addressed his audience as follows, with a pleasant smile, and in mild, persuasive tone of voice:
 ''GENTLElMN: I understand that there are some among you here who differ slightly from me in politics, and that you propose to start a riot upon this occasion. Now, this is free country, and speech and opinions are free to all, so want it distinctly understood" here he significantly tapped the weapon beside him-''that If any of you think you can get away with me you can just wade right in and help yourselves"
 Well, sir" said the Colonels friend, who told me the story, Fletcher just went right for 'em, from the word go And, would you believe it? Those same fellows who were so sanguinary before, now in sight of that shooting-iron, lying there so peacefully and lamb-like, began presently to shout: Right you air, Cunel! Yew jest give lem thunder, an weuns Il stan right up fer yew every time, yew kin jest betp
 ''This incident" remarked my in- formant, ''aptly illustrated the curious fact that even inanimato objects are gifted, at times, with a remarkably per suasive eloquence.''

HEROIC ABBrE BURGESS.

 ..s Brave na Grace Darling.

@s Brave as Grace Darling.
 \ v-3man who is now assistant keeper
 'i me Head Light could enlighten
 no wish to know something of
 tzperiences of lighthouse keepers.
 this woman lived at Madtinicua
 oc25, twenty-five miles from the nain- nd, and inaccessible except in pleas ct weather. Her father, Samuel
 'lrCaSs, was the keeper at this light, ard his family consisted of an invalid wife and five children, one daughter, Ab6ia, being seventeen years old. At tho time Of the memorable gale that swept ,iin0t's Light into the sea the keeper happened to be away. The heavy seas broke over the rock, washing every movable thing away until of the dwell ing not stone remained. The little ones hurried the mother to the tower, and then crept in themselves as the sea cleared the rock of all save the stone lighthouse. For four weeks tn ks lived there alone, for no human being could go to their rescue, but night after night Abbie lighted the beacon, and it never failed to shine through the gale.
 One day in 1857 MT. Burgess left tho rock to obtain his salary and to secure provisions. A gale prevented his return and the family ran short of food. Abbie fashioned a sail, and her brother, who happened to be at homo, started in a small skiff to procure food. For twen- ty-one days the family lived on a cup of corn-meal and an egg each per day, for tho son was not heard from until the twenty-second day, and added to tho risk of famine was the suspense as to the fate of their father and brother, for were they drowned the family would have starved on the desolato rock During all this time, at the end of which tho father returned, Abbie cared for the sick mother, comforted the children and kept the bright light burning to save tho passing ships from flashing on Mad tinicus rock. To-day, says the Lewiston Journal, her husband is keeper at White Head Light and she i9 the assistant, and 8 braver woman never lived.
