Tough Prospect Ahead for Edwin Booth.

I was n of a party last week who
went to have their fortunes told. I was
promised q handsome husband, coming
from over the sea, with great wealth,
and that I would be the mother Of thir-
teen sons, each of whom would be "a
genius in his way" Being possessed Of
abnormal curiosity, I announced myself
as willing to pay a dollar more to have
a picture Of the father of those thirteen
boys. At first the fortune teller said it
would be difficult to produce this and
wanted two dollars, but I declined to
give any more. So she rang the bell
and a colored girl in a low-necked frock
made Of blue serge, and made in what
might be called u Greek design, was
told to bring in a certain box. It came
and from it was extracted a picture
which was handed to me. The father
of my thirteen boys is MI. Edwin
Booth! I am sure he will be charmed
to know this, and unless that woman
told a tarra-diddle, I am forced to be-
lieve that the fates direct that this shall
happen. I asked her if she knew who
the picture was and she said yes, but
she could not tell anything except that
he would come across the sea and greet
me when l least expected it. I earnestly
hope it won't be some night at the the
alter when he is playing Hamlet, for it
might prove very embarrassing. In
fact, | think I shall give up going to
see Mr.. Booth. Although the truth
may have been told, I don't think it
fair to drag him into such a complica-
ton to oblige that dreadful old woman.
But undoubtedly, I am fated to get him.
l dropped a quarter in the slot down at
Coney Island a year ago to obtain a
picture OF my future husband and MI.
Booth was then to the fore, so I do not
dare to say what may happen.-New

The Use of Deadly Weapons.

A San Francisco correspondent OF an
Eastern paper declares that the city oy
the Golden Gate beats the record IN
the number and atrocity OF its murders.
Within the short space of two years not
less than ffty-eight murders have been
committed within the city limits. Stu
but two persons have been convicted OF
murder. and both of them were China
men. One Of these would, in the opln-
ion of the writer, have been acquitted
had he not been without friends n
money and deficient in reason. The po-
lice ascribe the numerous murders to
the general practice of carrying weapons.
They think that from so to 70 per cent.
of the adult males constantly carry
concealed revolvers and knives. Some
take a small armory of assorted weapons
about with them. A large number OF
women also carry pistols, and not a lew
of them use them upon very slight
p%rovocation. Mrs. Sarah Althea Hill
Sharon Terry always goes armed, and
not long since Mrs. Fair shot Lawyer
Crittenden III the presence OF his fam
lily.
Children invest their pocket money
in pistols and knives rs soon as they are
above playing with dolls and marbles.
A teacher in a public school had reason
to discipline an unruly boy, of tough
character, though of tender age. AS he
placed his hand on the young rascal
the latter drew revolver
with murderous intent. A
row ensued and a police officer was
called in. A search of the pupils re-
suited in finding t~hirty-fve revolvers
and a dozen kniyes like those used by
bandits and several weapons of other
descriptions.
But bad as the showing is in San
Francisco in relation to murders that of
the State outside of it is worse. The
city contains ~ per cent. of the entire
population Of the State, while only Ii
per cent. of the murders are committed
there. It is stated that every year
there is n homicide to every 3,477
people. The proportion is ven found
greater than in Colorado. In New
England there is one homicide to every
20,411 persons, and in Pennsylvania
one in every 1921. 1t is easy to ex-
plain why there are so many murders
in California. There is little fear of
the law in a country where every white
man is acquitted. Making q hip pocket
in the short trousers Worn by small
boys and in the dresses of girls who
still array themselves in short frocks,
and giving them money to supply them
selves with dirks and revolvers, is quite
certain to lead to crime. When moro
than fifty deadly weapons are found on
the persons of the pupils in one school
room, the presumption is that the own
ers of them will use them. Probably a
climate that is favorable to raising
oranges is also favorable to raising rows
and the use of deadly weapons. Peo-
pie who spend much time in the open
air are much more likely to commit
crime than those who remain in the
house. There is a very close relation
between climate and crime.

The Best Influence for Children.

Keep your children at home. God
gives themto you, and you alone are
responsible for them. If you would
have them grow up Industrious,
thoughtful men and women. set them a
good example, and keep them under
your W influence as much as possible.
The man OF woman who does nothing
but loaf OF visit, accomplishes no good
whatever in this life, and I doubt not
the seed has been sown in childhood,
and the seemingly harmless visiting
while young developed the lazy street
loafer and gossiping gadabout.
The mother who can serenely walk
out of her house for an afternoon of
pleasure, sending her children to a
%neighbors for protection, may spend a
charming and restful evening; but if
she'could look behind the scenes at her
neighbours she might not be so we'll
contented with herself.
Persons may say what they please
about one child being as much trouble
as a half dozen. It is not so-espe-
cially if the five belong to your neigh
Dor. There is just six times as much
noise-for each child must have it's
W individual noise; six times
as much mischief = particularly
II there are boys among
the number, six times as many apples,
tea cakes or slices of bread if they be-
come hungry-and they always do
besides the annoyance of being held re-
sponsible for any bumps or bruises they
may get while On your side of the
1eace. S me philalthrophist might
reJo1ce at such an opportunity to in
struct the neglected children, but few
mothers have time to run charity kim
dergartens for shiftless neighbors.
Don't imagine other people think as
much Of your children as you do; or
their grandmother who pets them to
death; or maidens who scold them
ditto, for they don't; and you may as
we'll be undeceived if you have any such
false impression. Though other par
ents may not think their children per-
lection, be assured of one fact: they
are ID their eyes much nearer perfec-
tisn than yours.
Take an interest in your children's
sports, sympathize with their little sor-
rows and show them howto be happy
without constant visiting or having Wis
1tors. There is SO much done for the
instruction and pleasure of children at
present that parents who are not en-
Draclng such opportunities do not de-
serve to live in this age, which is
truly a golden one for the little folks.

4 Moving Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at the
Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is q
triple-peaked mass of dark-brown
basalt, six or eight miles in length
where it fronts the river, and rises to a
height or almost two thousand feet
above the water.
That it is in motion is the last
thought which would be likely to sug-
gest itself to the mind of any one pass
ing it; yet it is a well-established fact
that this entire mountain is moving
slowly but steadily down the river, as
if it had a deliberate purpose some time
in the future to dam the Columbia and
form a great lake from the Cascades to
the Dallos. The Indian traditions in
dictate immense movements of the
mountains hereabouts, long before
white men came to Oregon, and the
early settlers, immigrants many of
them from New England, gave the
above-described mountainous ridge the
name Of travelling mountain" or "slid-
ing mountain"
In its forward and downward move
ment the forests along the base of the
ridge have become submerged in the
river. Large tree-stubs eau be seen
standing deep in the water on
this shore. The railway engineers and
the trackmen find that the line of the
railroad which skirts the foot of the
mountain is being continually forced
out of place. At certain points the
road-bed and rails have been pushed
eight or ten feet out of line in the
course of a few years.
Biologists attribute this strange
phenomenon to the fact that the basalt
which constitutes the bulk of the noun
tain, rests on a substratum of conglom-
crate: or of soft sandstone, which the
deep, swift current Of the mighty river
is constantly wearing away, or that this
softer subrock is of itself yielding, at
great depths, to the enormous weight
of the harder material above,

I'm winning it. I'm almost 'Edward'l'
Two more weeks passed, and the time
for the Christmas festival came. Our
boy without a name was the last of the
class to take his place. Miss Mildred
was busy with other things, and never
noticed that on the empty seat was
placed a cunningly bent-up pin. When
the boy came in hurriedly and sat
down, he sprang up again, and gave the
same "Outch!" any boy would have
given. Then something strange hap
pened; for, though a hot flush came to
his cheeks, he only said,-
Il never did care to act as u pin
cushion, and, as pins 60, that one was
double-pointed."
Such a look of amazement as came
over that class! Miss Mildred sprang
up and took the boys hands in hers, Us
she said, Edward, my dear Edward|
Then, turning to the other boys, she
said,-
Il can trust boys for being honest
and fair and square. Now, / ask you to
decide which name best suits the boy
who did not get mad when made to sit
on a double-pointed pin,-'Spitz,' or
'Edward'?"
And not a boy cried "Spitz," but
every one shook hands with edward"
and he keeps the name he won.-Suu-

Not Unseen.

Jessie Faxon had a reading ticket to
a library near her home, and there she
spent many delightful hours. Her
mother was one of those wise and care
full women who do not allow their
daughters to visit public places unat-
tended; but a library seemed the one
spot where q young girl could browse
about undisturbed, and it never oc-
Cured to her to curtail Jessie's freedom
in that direction.
Il happened, one day, thai Jessie sat
IN the alcove with q handsome young
man. He picked up her pencil, then
he found her a newspaper for which she
was looking, and in less than a week
they We're acquainted" Yhen for
months they had an exceedingly inter
esting time, whispering in a retired al
cove, and often writing notes.
They always talked about books, and
Jessie thought the conversation very
instructive, but she decided not to tell
her mother.
Mamma was so PARTICULAR"
Finally it happened that more serious
things claimed her attention. Her
father died, and it was evident that,
although her school course was still un-
finished, she must do something for the
family support.
Don't worry, DEAR" wrote IN old
family friend to her mother, Il am
sure Jessie can get a situation at the
P Library. They need another at
tendant, and the librarian is n Of my
Oldest friends. I enclose a letter to
him."
This was charming, and Jessie lost
no time in taking her letter and seeking
out the librarian, whom she found in
his office, at the top of the building.
And are you the young lady?" he
asked, looking at her keenly as he fin
ished the letter.
"Yes, SIR" answered Jessie, her heart
a futter.
II am sorry to say we could not con-
slider you at ALL"
But I thought there was q vacancy"
cried she, too disappointed to keep
silence.
"There is, but we could not consider
you. My dear young lady, perhaps I
ought to tell you why. For several
months you have been noticed by the
attendants as a visitor who used the
library ~ a place for meeting a young
man. Complaint was made to me, and
[ had thought of speaking to you, buta
you were quiet, and did not annoy
others, l refrained. But those things
cannot be carried on unseen. They are
always noticed, and they make a
woman unfit for a public trust. Good
morning!"
Jessie crept off with a bowed head
and scarlet cheeks. Had her stolen
acquaintance been worth this? Surely
it was not.-Youth's Companion.

God Did Not Forsake Them.

A little invalid boy lay in a village
that was on the line of march of Napo-
Icons army in the retreat from Mos
COW. Everyone who could fly did SO.
1--WE cannot get away" said the mother
of this lad; but God will not forsake
us. He will build up a sure wall Of
defence"
The morning dawned of the dreaded
day which was to bring the enemy,
maddened by failure and enraged by
harassment. This mother and this boy
opened their eyes TO find that a "sure
wall" had indeed been built for their
defence. The snow had begun to fall
the evening before. Through the night
it had collected rapidly. A high wind
had blown it in drifts against the cot
tage where these two abided, so that it
was quite hidden. The wild soldiers
ransacked every other house. The
weather. ones were deprived Of their
luxuries. The poorer ones were spoiled
of their necessities. But the low-roofed
cottage lay sheltered behind the wall Of
snow which God had built around it in
the night.
