cook his evening meal The mosquitoes
were very thick about the fire, and some
OF them flew into it and were scorched.
This so worried old Johnny that he took
old mush-pot hat, filled it with water and
quenched the fire. "God forbid" said
he, that | should build a fire for my
comfort that should be the means of de-
stroying any of His creatures"
At another time, it is said, he made a
camp fire at the end of hollow log He
intended to sleep in the log, but just as
he was about to crawl into it he found
his prospective bed occupied by some
cub bears. Rather than disturb them, he
removed his fire to the other end of the
log and slept on the snow in the air.
Once, however, the old man was forced
to put aside his sentiment in regard to
injuring animals and fight for his life.
He was frequently lost in the wilderness.
On one of these occasions he came face
to face with black bear. The animal
was on mischief bent, and at sight of the
old mush-pot bedecked pilgrim it rose on
its hind legs and advanced toward him,
evidently anticipating an easy victory
and good meal. In self-defence old
Johnny picked up long pole and ad-
vanced to the fight valiantly. AT every
blow that bruin received, however, the
pole broke. Finally it was but three or
four feet long, and the old man was in
despair. However, by the help of the
Lord, he said, he eventually slew the
animal, had good supper, and carried
one quarter and the hide into the next
settlement.
Old Johnny had love for all men but
landlords. He said that their charge OF
12a cents meal for victuals was extor-
tionate. In the early days one meal and
nights lodging could be had at the set
tlement inns for 1S3 cents.
The old man was never known to be
sick. He would sleep on the floor, and
if no better could be had, he would be
satisfied with the scraps that were
usually thrown to the dogs. The old
man was very fond of children, and he
always carried presents for them. These
were generally bits of bright calico and
ribbon or Indian trinkets, but the chill
dren of the early settlers priced the gifts
highly. However hungry he would
never partake of food until he was as
sured that there was enough for every
child of the family.
1t is said that the strange old man to
whom the West is indebted for most of
its great apple orchards, died in Allen
county, Indiana, near Fort Wayne. A
person who knew him says that his death
was triumphant passing into glory.
He lay on the grass with his face toward
the setting sun. His countenance was
wreathed with smiles of rapture, and as
the last beams of the great luminary died
out of the west the vital spark left its
abode of flesh and passed into the great
unknown Chicago Herald.

ATCHISON GLOBULES.

WE would all be good il our bread
and butter depended ON it
How FEW people there are who haven't
something again them.
WITH some peoples religion, there is
more hobby than principal.
THE most inveterate sober man is the
man who was drunk the day before.
EVERY man is suicide: he has some
habit that is shortening his life.
A MAN has six temptations to one day
for repentance: six week days and one
Sunday.
GIVE man q dollar, and he will
finally hate you because you do not
give him another.
IT is very hard for man to recognize
any genius in man whose years are
less than his own.
THERE is ono consolation in being
wicked: oppressively good people won't
associate with you.
A MAN might build boat to tide him
over his troubles, while waiting for his
ship to come in.
SOME men who totally abstain from
the use of evil things, make hogs uf
themselves in good things.
If a woman has good husband, she
should not fail to take good care of him.
Good husbands are so rare.
No MAN knows when he is acting the
fool, but he usually has funny feeling
in him that tells him of it afterward.
IT is strange how much faster time
W an
enemy than when you hear him praising
q friend.
MANY young people become dis
heartened on discovering traits in
humanity that the world has always
accepted.
You will very often find it the case
that the man who is good in big things
makes up for it by being very mean in
little ones.
DURING the earlier part of an affair of
the heart, the man makes most of the
love; after that, the woman does good
deal of it.
A GIRL should not marry man she
does not know very we'll, and the
chances are that she will not marry q
man that she does.
WHY do men never tell OF troubles
or misfortunes without exaggerating
them? Are not troubles and mis-
fortunes large enough2

self than does human experience. A
life is but repitition of some Other
life that has gone before.
THERE is one time when every boy
doubts that his mother is telling the
truth, and that is when she says it hurts
her worse to punish him than it does
him.
THERE is no enjoyment in imposing
on others. You may think it great
pleasure for awhile to receive favors
from others, but the time will come
when you will change your mind. II
is equally true that there is no enjoy
ment in being imposed upon by others
there is very little enjoyment in any
thing, as a matter of fact.

An Old Salts Sagacity.

There was Maine boatswain who had
sailed with one shipmaster for seventeen
years. In that time the captain had not
lost vessel and had made money as
fast as a man-before- -the-mast can climb

year of his boatswains devotion his
captain, on voyage from San Francisco
to Liverpool, laden with wheat, lost his
vessel. -Four months later captain and
boatswan landed in Bath, Me. Now
Smith, the boatswain, had always boast
ed that his captain could sail the rotten

he returned to Bath, therefore, he was

The "China Tree"

The "China tree" so extensively
planted in the Southern States as shade
tree, is not native of North America,
but its home is in tropical Asia. 1t is
sometimes called "bead tree" on account
of the use made of the seeds in Catholic
countries, where the seeds are threaded
for beads to assist in the devotions of de-
vout persons, and for which purpose they
are peculiarly suited, having a natural
perforation through the centre. There
is, however, tree of the same genus
found in the West Indies and another
in Japan New York Sun.

Sixteen years ago Mr.. Henry Spring
conceived the happy idea Of giving
these annual linen fessss to the public

their liberal patronage throughout the

like the sales OF few who would affect
IN imitation by Offering the tag ends OF
seasons cuttings, goods which =
years trial has shown that the people
do not want" said Mr.. SpriEg, in
speaking Of the sale. We believe in no
half way business. When people buy
linens they want the newest patterns, the
best goods and all the varieties IN the
market from which TO select. 1t was
with this object IN view that our resi-
dent buyer IN New York was instructed
To secure every sacrifice made n linens
by Eastern importers. manufacturers,
and the stocks of those who were
obliged 10 see their goods go at rninous
prices under the auctloneer's hammer. ,
The beauty aud richness OF their linen
department illustrates how completely
he has succeeded.
The crowds which came early this
morning; and the thropgs that have
filled the long avenues OF snowy linen
all day were tremendous. Keen
sighted landlords, ladlcs from palxtial
homes and those from the humber
walks in life were all there, IS many as
the store would hold, and each one
fnds the grades and qualities par
ticularly suited to their several necessls
ties. And so it will be throughout the
week. and it now looks as though this
sale will go upon record - the most
stupendous OF ali. at is not question
Of prices" said Mr.. Spring this morn

1t makes Us very happy to be able to

These high class linens arc laid on our

The University Of Michigan is mag
nificent institution. 1t stands perhaps
at the head Of the splendid series of
State Universities which are the pride
of the Western people, and is fully the
equal in most respects of Harvard,
Yale or Princeton. In most respects,
not quite all. For instance, it has no
gymnasium. The sturdy farmers of
Michigan who keep their muscles IN
shape by daily pr ctice with the plough,
axe, hoe, reaper, lever and other GYM
nastic appliances, are willing to vote
large sums of money for buildings and
professors salaries, but they draw the
line at a gymnasium. That they can't
quite see the use Of.
Now it may DO coincidence and il
may be causation-Mr. Waterman
thinks it's the latter-but the students
at Ann Arbor have behaved execrably
during the past year. They have hazed
and rioted and used revolvers careless
ly. and many have been the wounds
and bruises thereby received. Mr..
Waterman says it's all because there's
no gymnasium upon which the stu
dents can expend their surplus energy.
So Waterman offers to give $40, 900, if
others will raise as much more, TO
build and equip = suitable gymnasium.
There's certainly force in Mr.. Water
mans position. II the engine works
