A father was seeing his son off on the
cars for some distant point. There was
a moment of quiet conversation between
the two, perhaps few words of such
advice rs father should give son, and
then the train came laundering into the
station. AS the latter, tall fellow ;reli
along in his "teens," stepped on the
platform, he extended his hand and his
lips to his father. There was gentle
kiss of farewell, and the two separated.
There was no gush, no nonsense, no af-
fectation; just the expression of father
ly tenderness that had followed that
son since he lay in the cradle. Is there
any danger of that boy straying from
the path affectionately pointed out by
his father? Or is there any danger Of
that father ever having to excuse that
son because he is Sowing wild oats?"
We think not. The gentle power of a
mothers kiss has been sung by poets,
but is there not also q wealth of tender
ness and a lasting memory for good in
the kiss of father?-HGrtford Post

Merry AMERICAN GIRLS.

ing Her.
The fact that the American girls go
anywhere and almost everywhere with
out escorts has long been matter of
wonderment to me, said member of
the French nobility the other day. I
was coming down in an elevated train
yesterday, and the reason was made
evident to me. AS we neared City Hall
station almost every passenger made a
rush for the door and stood for five
minutes, each anxious to get ahead of
the other in leaving the train.
One of the crowd was very pretty
young woman carrying long-handled
umbrella in one hand and big bundle
in the other. Just behind her was a
short, very fat man, who was rudely
crowding the pretty girl. AS l had not
left my seat saw the performance that
followed.
Once the girl looked over her shoulder
and the fat man stopped crowding for
a moment, but began again and trod on
the skirt of the pretty girl. Her eyes
grew dark with anger. The long
handled umbrella assumed a horizontal
position and shot backward point first,
catching the fat man just about at the
bottom of his vest. He gave gasp of
terror and caught his breath just as the
pretty girl looked over her shoulder,
smiled sweetly and said: so, pardon
me, but you are on my skirt"
Then she smiled even more sweetly,
and the fat man dropped into seat and
CROPPED about as though the air in the
car was suffocating him. The girl
marched complacently out of the car
head up, the dainty feathers in her hat
nodding defiance to all masculine hui
manity.-N. Y. Telegram.

claimed to himself Suddenly a broad
smile broke over his face, and, after a
few moments of deep thought, he
climbed slowly down from the fence
and walked toward the little hut that
he dignifed by the name of home. He
was still smiling rs he opened the door,
but it was g countenance of preternat-
ural gravity that he presented to Aunt
Hannah's complaints as they sat down
to supper.

Chillun, stop you starin' an get down
on you knees-we's goin' to pray"
Mr. Baxter had undoubtedly the best
of it, for having finished his supper
and showed back his chair. he dropped
on his knees on the sanded floor and
began an unctious and loud-voiced
prayer, in which he begged the Lord to
have mercy on his family and redeem
them from the Sinfulncss OF their ways
This ended, he beat sudden retreat
TO bed, practically victorious without a
OBJ l.
But the struggle was yet to come.
The next morning Mr.. Baxter arose
and dressed himself with a purpose in
every movement. Aunt Hannah could
stand it no longer.

Aunt Hannah said never word, but

without looking up.

severity, "all de dinner you'se goin' to
