Not long ago poet was staying at a
seaside hotel, where he attracted some
attention. as a celebrity. Among the
guests was woman who wished her
daughter to seem on intimate terms with
literature, and, as far as possible, with
literary people. Accordingly she set the
girl at work to learn one of the poets
shorter pieces, which might have been q
clever move to gain her point, but the
effect of it was somewhat injured by the
daughters carelessness and ignorance.
On the same page with the poem in
question-in book of selections-was
one by another and more famous writer,
and the girl made the mistake of com
hitting this instead of the one which her
mother had intended.
At the first opportunity the young lady
said to the poet in the presence of sew
eral of the guests:
at is such delight to meet one whose
lines l have carried in my mind for
years! The poem which l love better
than any other in the world is one of
yours"
"Indeedw answered the smiling poet.
81 had not hattered myself that / had
written anything worthy of such honor.
What is it,"
With an affected emphasis the girl re-
pested the poem she had learned, the
company, of course, remaining silent
till she had finished.
ut is lovely!" murmured one of the
guests, who did not recognize it.
YES" said the poet, lit is so good
that can only regret that Wordsworth
should have taken the liberty of writing
it before | was born. Otherwise | should
undoubtedly have written it myself"
The best of good breeding could not
altogether repress the smiles of the by
ISLANDERS, and the poor girl, suddenly re-
membering that her mother needed her,
disappeared with much CELEBRITY.
1T is a pity" the poet said mildly,
when she was out of hearing, lit is a
pity that people cannot understand that
we writers, vain though we may be, are
not SO blinded by vanity as to be unable
to tell genuine admiration from the

We have no place in America for
dainty people-often called gilt edged
who think that the army would be a
good place if it We're not for the rank
and file. So it is better for a boy of
ours to be pitched into public school,
to take pot luck with all sorts and con-
ditions of boys, and to learn, in the
earliest life, that some of the best fell
lows in the world, not to say the bright
est, never had a French nurse, and al
ways black their own shoes, when they
are blacked at all. In ali such schools
that have known the tone of honor is
very high. And in such society one
early learns the great lesson that all the
people are wiser than any one of the
people. Edward Everett Hale in Forum.

Monday two young strangers drove up
to Richards barn, had their horse put out
and went into the Kimball House for din
ner. After dinner Sir William ran across
them at the barn and fell into conyersa-

they hailed from Bryant in the northern
part of the state. About the first ques-

"Guess we can find a man to accommodate
you il you are looking for one" said Will
lam, and he started off to find Craft.
But Craft was sick with e sore throat and
didn't want to run Would the stranger
run Sir William 80 yards for $40 a side
just for the fun of the thing. He looked
at Williams somewhat stocky build in a
.patronizing manner and said
anything to oblige,"
So the money was posted. Would the
gentleman from the north care to add

So two more fives went into the stake
holders hands. Then all parties went
across the track where about two-hun-
dred had gathered to see the fun. The
inner started at the crack of a pistol
and Sir William had the somewhat of a

do so. The stranger took his defeat good

Revival Victim.

Castalia Republican:-William Douglas,
a young mar living near Armour, has
become demented on the subject Of re-
ligion. He has recently attended all the
revival meetings in the neighborhood,
and seemed considerably worked up, but
no particular attention was paid to his
enthusiasm until he began to make such
assertions as that he was John the Bap-
list and the pastor Judas Iscariot. He is
nov under the care of the sheriff, whom
he imagines to be Jesus Christ. Friends
of the young man have been notified of
his condition, and unless they are heard
from, steps will be taken to have him
placed in the asylum at Yankton.

La Crinne-A Few Pointers

ASA 0A1klSS-A
Persons who have a cold are much
more likely to take the influenza or so
called, la grippe.
1t is much more severe when accom-
panied bya cold.
The most critical time is when recov-
cring from the disease, as slight exposure
will often cause a relapse and that is al
most certain to end in lung fever or
Pneumonia.
The feet should be kept dry and warm,
the body we'll clothed and care used to
avoid exposure.
The bowels should be kept regular and
persons physically weak should take qui-
nine to keep up the vitality.
With these precautions and a free use
Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a
prompt recoverery is reasonably certain,
That remedy is u%nequalled for a severe
cold and this disease requires precisely
the same treatment. For sale by +. /
