down 70 the river, up to state street, around
the capitol grounds through several other
streets until Mr.. Sellers began to get very
hungry and suggested that it was about
time for that dinner. The judge stopped
with puzzled expression on his face, and
finally, bringing his large right hand down

In the sunny years Of youth.
When we battled for the truth.
Daring danger, toll and wrath,
Hope was flashing DER our path.
When our eager youth az last

To loose the world from sin and wrong.

The climate of Hindoostan explains
the religious scruple which would make
millions of Brahmins prefer starvation
to meat stews, but a less ineligible
prejudice is that of the japanese peas
ants, who could as soon be persuaded
to drink blood as cows milk. The
Abyssinian highlanders would shrink
from neither alternative, but would
promptly cut the acquaintance of a
neighbor who should defile himself by
broiling a rabbit.

share in the enjoyment of the joke.
Several persons saw it, but passed by

At length one man came along, saw
It and stopped to pick it up, but re-
membering himself suddenly, gave the
pocketbook kick which sent it flying
into the gutter Then it was, though
can't say why, that l was seized with
a great desire to pick up the old wallet
and open it, even if l should be the
victim of the joke; so, walking up to
where it lay, picked it up and put it
in my pocket to carry home"

There are men in California who have
not been to their eastern homes since
they left them as boys to seek their
fortunes in the unknown west. They
have grown so accustomed to one line
of life that it seems like breaking up
housekeeping to start out on visit to
the scenes of their childhood. The road
by which they came, weeks, and with
some, months long, appals them, and
the idea of crossing the dread plains of
40 in four days as it is done now,
never becomes part of their belief.
Yet it is the ambition and intention of
each and every Que of them to see the
old home again before they die and
make one last survey of the old haunts,
now but fading memories, If all these
good intentions are realized and hope,
are not dashed to pieces at least hal
