TOM AND KITTY.

Where two white cots oTerarched with shade
Their pale-blue smoke-wreaths blent,
There played and strayed a boy and maid,
Companions well content
Together schoolward, shine or wet,
They trudged the cart-ruts through;
Above one book their rfnglets met;
One apple served the two.
And oft across the hedge you'd hear,
Or through the door ajar:
as Tommy here?-then, never fear!
My Kitty won't be far
II Tommy's knuckles CHANGED to ache,
AS Schoolboys knuckleS do
The dominic, for PHYS sake,
Would Mobile Kitty's too.
When Tommy tumbled in the pond.
And gasped with horror mute,
His playmate fond his visage conned,
Then promptly followed suit.
When Tommy smoked beneath the rick
His furtive first cigar,
They both crawled homeward. deadly sick
For Kitty was not far.
But years flowed by with silent stream.
And work must follow play;
Behind them like land of dream.
Their vale of childhood lay.
Her needle now must Kitty ply,
To earn an humble fee;
And Tom must sigh long good bye
For Tom is off to sea.
"To night she sobbed, you'll sail away
Beyond the harbor-bar;
But when you pray, look up and say:
My Kitty is not far
Two years went by-for him, two years
or range and change and stir;
OF hopes and fears, of pray'rs and tears,
And patient toll for her.
And then beside the old Itch gate,
Two neighbors, looking out
Beheld sailor walk and wait,
A CHEEKY lad and stout
"'Tis Tom" one said; ''he's getting we'd
God bless the honest tar,'
The other gravely shook her head:
Then Kitty won't be far!''

A Little Tots Conclusions.

The reasoning faculty of some chill
dren is almost beyond comprehension as
is illustrated by the following: "a
little tot OF nine wrote letter to her
grandma and among other things stated
that her ma had been making pair of
''pance" for one of her brothers. When
her attention was called to the improper
spelling of the word she said: Well,
you spell dance dance, and p-a-n-c-e
should spell pants Another affair hap
pened to the same young lady worth
repeating. While her brother George

some means got away from him and ran

FRIDAY FINDS CRUSOE.

Strange Meeting Between a Wild Man and
His Master.
A strange scene occurred the other
day in one of the booths at Paris fair.
The ''great attraction" was an uncivi1-
lied individual described as bona fide
Savage of extraordinary ferocity.''
This parsonage, who rejoices in the
name of ''Colo." was squatting in cage
provided with strong bars and bolts. and
the inhabitants of the Western town
were streaming into the booth to con.
template his visage and acquaint them
selves with his manners and habits
when his stern gaze was suddenly seen
to relax.
Tears soon flowed down his sable
cheeks, and. sobbing violently, he
rushed to the door of his cage, and,
pushing back the bolt, threw his arms
round gentleman who had just walked
in. At first it was imagined that this
sChild of Nature had taken leave of
his senses, and the spectators started
back in fear and trembling, expecting
every moment to see the stern wild man
throttle the person he had singled out
from among the company for his atten-
tons.
Soon, however, their apprehensions
were dispelled, for the gentleman was
also noticed to betray symptoms of emo
ton. 1t turned out that 'Colo" had
been in his service for some time in
Martinique, and that four years ago he
had come to France in search of his
master, to whom he was much attached.
The faithful creature had proceeded
from one town to the other exhibiting
himself at fairs with this one object al
ways in view.
His master was so much touched at
this proof of affection that then and
there he took s'Colo'' once more into his
seryice-PariS Letter.

another they are nailed, and the nail
put through is clinched. The contriv-
ance looks very frail but is really quite
serviceable, and with the addition of a
little green Diamond dye doesn't look

will be seen from the cut, from four or

THE SURPLUS BUSTERS.

ions in the Treasury.
When Grover Cleveland sent his IA
nous tariff reform message to Congress
he drew attention to the fact that the
country was confronted with ''a condi-
tion-not a theory" That condition
was an overwhelming and growing sur
plus in the National treasury, due to
over-taxation. Mr.. Cleveland proposed
to reduce this surplus by relieving the
people from the burden of unnecessary
taxation, and the Democrats in control
of the popular branch of Congress re-
sponded to his demand by a bill which
supplied in small part the remedy
which he proposed. This measure
the Mills bill-was defeated in the
Senate under the control of the Repub-
icans.
1t is only little more than year
since Grover Cleveland went out of
office. And now it is reported from
Washington that the ensuing year will
probably show deficit of 500, 600, 600
instead of surplus of 500, 900. 600.
How has this remarkable change been
brought about? Not by reduction of
taxation, because the taxes have not
been reduced Not by any increased
~lSCOoS4IICS Va GAO 0OtSEumcub. lOE tu6Eo
has been no war nor great National
calamity demanding extraordinary ex-
penditures. There has been no vast
scheme of National Improvements to
drain the treasury of its resources.
What is the explanation?
The process of converting huge sur
plus into an appalling deficit within two
years has been clearly outlined by the
legislation which has been passed and
which is further projected by the pres
emit Congress. The estimates are made
on the basis of the extravagant appro-
priatiOns which are outlined and the
projected changes in the revenue sys-
tenn. With the exception of occasional
objections to some meritorious bill for
a public building, there has been uni
form disposition to swell the appropria-
lions in every possible direction. The
plan has been seriously contemplated to
absorb all possible surplus revenues by
voting dependent pensions, service PEN
sions, back pensions and pensions under
various designations. If the pension
raids do not suffice to get rid of the rev.
enues. then it is hoped the Mckinley
bill will do the businessmen by re-
ducing taxation, but by increasing it to
such an extent as to prohibit certain
importations and transferring the taxes
heretofore paid to the Government into
the pockets of private individuals and
corporations paid IN the form of boun-
ties
Which is the better plan for getting
rid of the surplus-the Cleveland plan
of reducing unnecessary taxes or the
pending plan for increasing appropria-
tions and also increasing taxation on
imports to a prohibitory figure? That
will be the question for the people to
decide.-kansas City Star.
