How a Smart Youngster W9s Made to Come
Down a Peg or Two.
In the early part of the present GEN.
tury, when the cow prosperous towns OF
Somerset County, Name, were little
more than pioneer settlements, one of
the settlers of Norridgewock, Captain
P. sent his little daughte down to
the fiourishing town of Hallowell to
school The people of Halloweli were a
cultivated community, though some of
them, it was whispered. were disposed
TO put on airs" over people from
further up the Kennebec.
This was the case. at any rate, with
little Louisa P-'s young cousin,
Billy, at whose fathers house she went
TO live. He was year older than
Louisa, ard saluted her on the very
day of her arrival, initiating broadly
the supposed accent Of the sort of peo-
pie who lived away up in Ncrridgewock,
with this sentences:
''Land O. goodness. When d yeou
come daown?''
Seeing that the speech annoyed Lou
lisa very much, Billy continued to re-
peat it, and for several days omitted no
opportunity TO ask her, in all sorts of
company, when she came "daown."
Billy had younger brother, Johnny
by name, who was good-natured but
somewhat mischievous Johnny took a
liking to Louisa, and readily joined her
cause against Billy.
Upon Billy's birthday his father gave
him a new drum, with which he was
greatly pleased. and which he played
increasingly. He played it in the house,
and when driven from there played it in
the barn; and finally, being denied the
use Of the barn by the hired man, took
refuge on the roof of the pig-pen, still
beating away with ali his might
As he sat there on the half-roof, with
his legs hanging down over the pigsty,
his brother Johnny climbed up the slop-
ing roof of the pen from behind him.
BILLY was making so much noise that he
did not near his brother approach.
But presently he paused in his beat
ing; and then Johnny, close behind, ex-
claimed ''Boor'
Billy jumped in sudden terror and
jumped so much that he fell headlong
into the pigsty, and landed, drum and
all, in the midst of the pigs and the
mire.
1t was not much of fall, and he was
quite unhurt but he cried loudly.
Louisa, stepping to the front of the pen.
saw him gathering himself up in sorry
plight She did not laugh; she simply
looked surprised, and said, with
shocking nasal accent
Land o goodness! When d yeou
come daown?"
Billy stopped crying: and in after
years declared that he never again
made fun of country people. youths

bottom, says one who grstifled his
curiosity, we stood carefully on one side.
The noise of the machinery was almost
deafening. the engines mighty arms
reaching down TO the cranks of the

We were letinto the shaft tunnel IL

stopped. instinctively, and gathered the
skirts of our coats away from the shaft
which was revolving ffty-four times a
minute, and at each revolution was
forcing the ship through twenty-five
feet OF water
At the stern, where we were 100 feet
from the engine room, our ears were
filled with buzzing as Of ten thousand

twelve fiery furnaces above him and a

A narrow opening in the bulkhead adj
mitted us into the furnace room. where
there were two rows Of fires, placed

We remained perhaps five minutes; or
until we were roasted out, though We
were standing under the cold ar flukes

deck, and are made to revolve to catch
the freshest, strongest breeze that blows
Between the stirring and replenishing
of the fires the room was filed with a
whitish glare. When the furnaces had
been fed the half-naked stokers would
stand under the air shaft and wipe the

the headquarters of the mission were at
Kohimarama, a few miles from Auck-

harbor. Soon after his arrival In kuck-

he found no wharf, no imposing row of
buildings, no pier, and he had to wait
in the boat until some one could be got
to carry him ashore through the water

Brine; That's whatl we are to conceal

THAT FOURTH WARD MEETING
LAST NIGHT.
Reported for the LIGHT by San Pedro.

Reported for the LIGHT by San Pedro.
A small boy and thirteen administration
chronies, crowded through cioaretta
smoke into Krisch's hall last niSht for
the purpose of perpetrating nominee for
ward alderman. There was something on
their minds; there was also something
under their vests, and that something had
to work its way through bottles before
landing. Cassiano, Smith. Russi, Conner
and belly Drained Fritz, doomed up like a
drove of donkeys in bunch of rabbits.
they stepped around as IL on eggs until
Charley, of the tribe of Lowdy, managed
to see enough of Claudon to conclude that
the administration was at last partly re-
presented. After going out three or four
times and finding the way back again, he
took the platform and said that
though he couldn't swallow repub llcan
in q coated capsule, he would endeavor to
gulp down republican mugwump with
little settler on the outside.
Here Charley Barnes, or some other
political bandit found room enough for
his feet to nominate the fat boy, Dwyer,
urchin managed to find the platform and
the gavel and said that if anything was
in order at all it must be the bartender on
the outside, for he couldn't see but empty
benches to preside over.
Finally some mistake in last years pants
nominated August Santleben for alderman
of the ward. An accomplish near him sec
onded the nomination. Then the fat boys
patriotism came in. He put the question,
as If it was a cigarette, into their very
mouths. OF course they said aye" 1t
was about the only word in the language
within reach.
One nominee said that if the nominee
met chunk of craftsmanship on the
sidewalk he would walk around it as if it
was an improved case OF smallpox. IT'S
understood, however, that the admins
tration will issue dodgers tomorrow de-
nying this. At any rate the whole affair
had such an administration odor that
clock in the saloon stopped ticking, and
the policeman lodged around the corner
to avoid the breath of passing alder
man.
ClaudOn managed to bite off motion to
adjourn, after which they melted away
like sour-mash before an aldermanat-
small.
