The Conductor Would Not Resign.
Colonel Thomas t. Fisher tells story
which is good one. Among the first
railroads built in the United States was
little line about twenty miles in
length. In the course of time big
tunnel line was constructed through the
same country. The original line be-
came merely branch. For many years
it was run in u cheap way, with one
locomotive, one engineer and two or
three freight cars,
Finally u new general manager was
appointed. He had been in the Office
but week when he sent for the one
lone conductor who had held the posi-
ton ever since the road was built.
Il would like to have your resigna-
ton" said the general manager, when
the conductor appeared.

ductor in establishment.
Yes, sir; yours"
"What for, pray?"
well, want to make some changes
and get new blood in the line," was the
general managers reply.
81 won't resign" answered the con-
ductor.
"Then will be compelled to discharge
you, Il step which for your sake l had
hoped | would be saved from taking"
Young man, you will not discharge
me. Town controlling interest in the
stock of this railroad and elect the presi-
dent and board of directors. shall have
you fired"
The old conductor did really own the
majority of the stock, and, as he said,
put in his own board of directors aud

"The Poplars" is the name of the old
Revolutionary homestead. 1t is great,
square, white, stone house built in the
center of thousand acres. The master
of it was childless. His little boy had
died a week before, and he had gone
away. Every night a little figure in
white with light was seen fitting
from window to window in the old
library. When the servants, led by the
gardener, assembled at the library door
the light and the figure would disap
pear noiselessly and simultaneously. The
light and figure were never seen in any
other room Of the old mansion, and now
il was remembered that the dead heir
had spent more time in the library than
in any other room in the house.
When the master returned, toward
the end Of autumn, he was informed oil
it all. He hid behind the tapestry night
after night, and one night he was re-
warded by seeing little white figure
glide. in, light candle, climb up to one
of the highest shelves, take down a rare
old book and begin to pore over it. Il

Only One on Ills side.

A capital story is told of well known
judge who is noted for his fondness for
conveying to jurors in his charges to
them his own opinions with regard to
the morits of the case. In one case he
had done so with great plainness, but to
his amazement the jury remained out
for hours without coming to an agree
ment, The judge inquired OF the baiiiff
what was the matter, and learned from
him that one juror was holding out
against the other eleven
He sent for the jury at once, and stat
ing to the jurors that he had plainly
intimated how the case ought to be de-
cided, said he understood the one juror
was standing out against the other
eleven. He proceeded to rebuke the
juror sharply. The obstinate juror was
nervous little man, and as soon rs the
judge was done he rose and said:
"My lord, may say word!'
Eyes, sir" said the indignant judge;
what have you to say?'

An eminent lady missionary in Bur

where cholera was raging. Having with
her quantity of famous painkiller
she went from house to house admin

she had gone. Returning to the village
some months after, the missionary was

who cheered and delighted her by this

over to your side. The medicine did us
so much good that we have accepted

The pawnbrokers' sales shops have held

pause before one feel keeher touch

nothing beside the tragic and pathetic

Few Of our native trees have odorifer-
GUS wood like the sandal wood of the
islands in&le Indian ocean; but a few of
the conifere on the Pacific slope have
sweet scented woods. The fine church

dams of Alaska, is as fragrant as if in
cense was continually floating through
the air, from the wood of the great arbor
Vita (rhuja gigantea) of which it is
built. Libocedrus decurrens, found

cypress (Cupressus nutkaensis) and the

THE GOLDEN roo.


There's gold in the miser's chest
Fast locked with golden key;
And gold most rare in IA woman's hair
And gold in the sands at sea;
There's a tawny gold on the wheat's litho
length
Where its breeze tossed pillows nod,
But never u gold so full and free.
All, me-
None. none like the goldenrod.
There's gold on the naples branch
That CLEANS on an autumn lea,
And a golden crown when the sun dies
down
While the shadows turn and fee;
There's a wealth of gold in the pointed
leaves
Where the willow strews the sod,
But no such feathery tilagree,
All, me-
None, noiIe like tho go!denrod-
There's gold in the dawn's faint streaks
That CLINT on the poplar tree,
There's gold in the mine, and in lees of wine,
And gold on the humble bee
But by the plumes OF its knightly crest,
Where the wild wind rides roughshod.
There is never gold so fair TO see,
All, me-
None, none like the goldenrod.

opinion was expressed two centuries

Knight Grant is not written as one
