For some said sThanks" in timid voice
Some laughed in the prettiest way.
I think it made even his heart rejoice
To'see them all so gay.
But no, cannot say quite all
For two of the thirty-four
Forgot their manners, oh! 80 small
Or they'd used them all before.
A little boy OF just six years,
For him make some excuse,
Says "mine haint half so nice as theirs
And I think might have choose
But rude little girl with an injured air
Began to scold and fret
"Here take this back, faint one bit fair
WANTED ring with set"
In vain looked, could not find
A single set-ring more.
I said I hoped she would not mind
But she scolded as before.
And after while heard her say
81 haint havin bit good time"
But well talk no more of her to- day
Or we'll spoil pleasant rhyme.
I told my story, next day, to the flower
Who told it again to the bee,
"I'm so glad only two were rude and sour
All the rest were sweet" said she.
''That's not so bad, said the sunhower
bright.
"No, not so bad" said the bee.
And I think the bee and the flower are
right.
And you will agree with me.
Well always find there's enough of good
That we may leave out the i'll
And think we might if we only would
Our lives with pleasures fill.
So I'll hold those children sin my heart
Forever and day,
Who told me Thanks in timid voice
Or laughed in merry way.

A Test of breeding"
AT THE SOCIAL.
sat on the porch that Tuesday noon
And thought of the burning sun;
I wished that night would come on soon
And that my work was done.
And as I planned how best should dc
My work with the greatest ease
We were going to give social to you
And we wanted SO much to please.
There were dishes, chairs and so much to
take
And the tables they were to fix,
The ladies must be on hand and make
AL ready by half past six
Well, while unused sunhower bright
Kept noddIng its golden head
Till it sent shower of fallen light
ALL over honey bees bed.
The bee looked up in hurried way
"What is it you want of me?
Tn ready to serve you any day
For what you have done for the bee."
~Pve heard them say" said the sunhower
bright,
"That the boys and girls of town
Are going up to the social tonight,
Just after the sun goes down.
"You've always said the way to test
The breeding Of girl or boy,
Is to give them something they like best
In the form of sweet or toy
"Now if you'd make test of bred
I'm ready, "said I, ''for the fun
And the sunfower nodded its yellow head
And the honey bee laughed at the pun.
So I nodded my head to the sunhower
bright
Who nodded back to me
sTll do it," said "This very night
eyes do it" said the bee.
So purchased some sticks of tafy sweet,
On each one was a ring
smiled as I thought, now its all COM
plete.
The man in the moon, he smiled that
night,
As he peeped from behind cloud,
70 watch the faces sweet and bright
As Treated" the merry crowd.

DOUBT ABOUT JOHN C. AUSrINS DEATH.
INSURANCE COMPANIES WOULD LIKE ABSOLUTE
PROOF.


PROOF.
There seems some doubt at least in the minus VI
two insurance companies 10 whether John & AuSui,
a shin broker and formerly a member Of the firm OF
Lord & Austin of No Is Broadway, who was reporleu
to have been drowned on July last at Manhattan
Beach, is really dead or rot. MI Anslin on July
carried $40 900 insurance his life vi TINS sum
$4,000 was in the Mutual Reserve Funo Lie Assn
ciaton with which company he had been insured since
1875. The other $4,000 policy which he had Only
taken out July of this year. three days previous to
his alleged death was with the United States Mutual
Accident Association. on July he left his home'
No Lila Dran-st Brooklyn, shortly after poOh' saying
that he was gclng Manhattan Beach for bath' but
promising TO and take his three motheress boys
to see the fireworks that night lie mas mol Deeh seen
by any OF his relatives since.
He hired a bathroom at Manhattan Beach and left
various valuable articles in envelope, which had his
name and address on, undoubtedly In his own hand
writing and the clothing found identified as his by
many credible witnesses. The body has never been
found, though at the time Of the drowning about 3
p. M. the tide must have been coming in, for it was
full tide that evening at 30 O'Clock at Sandy Hook
but at tile time there strong wind of shore
Charles B. Peet, president Of the United states
Mutual Accident Association, said yesterday that no
claim had yet been sent in by the executors OF MIR.
Austins estate and the company would have to have
proof Of the mans death before it would pay the
pOllcN II certain PROOF were not forthcoming, ule
company could by law, refuse to pay cent for seven
years, at the end Of which period If nothing were
heard OF the missing the company would pay over
to tine benefciares the amount of the policy.
o. ID. Baldwin vice president of the Mutual Reserve
Fund Life Association, said that decision had been
reached by the association in the case it had not
yet been before the directors.
Among those who are sadly but certainly sure that
John G. Austin dead his brother Joseph Elliott
Austin, F. J. Lord, his partner; William Allen Butler,
W W. Mcfarland and Farley Clark. All these men
knew him well, and Affirm that he was a level
headed, honest man. devoted his children, had no
business troubles, and had family troubles. A
strong point in favor Of the idea that the man IS
really is that only his three young boys, the
eldest OF whom is eleven years old are the beneh-
ClaI1eS under his VIII. his friends all say that
Mir Austin making good income, had thriv-
Ing business, ana mat II Is impossible 10 imagine
his throwing these advantages away and breaking up
his home for small a sum. Neither side has taken
legal steps, but il said Yesterday that the al
