listens respectfully to a millionaire,
and generally manages to borrow
something from him ere they part.

never be able to down me again.

Here the Senator's voice dropped to a
tone of intense feeling" you won't be

Colonel Ochiltree stretched out his
manly hand, and grasped that OF the
generous Nevadan.
Thank you, Jones, thank you," he
husky with emotion. And
then Frightening up, with the CHEEKY

London as IL Was.

Haydn's Dictionary Of Dates"
makes the statement that the name Of
the city OF London was written Lynden
or Lyndin, meaning "the city on the
lake" An old tradition gives us to
understand that London was founded
by Brute, descendant of Eneas, and
called New Troy, or Troynovant, until
the time OF Lud, who surrounded the
town with walls and named it Caer-
Lud, or Lud's town. This latter is
probably the correct version of the
story, il for no other reason because 1t
is an easy matter to detect a similar
ity between the expression Lud's
town and London. II is claimed by
some writer's that there was q city on
the same spot l,l07 years b. O., and il
is known that the Romans founded a
city there called Londinium A. d. 81.

Pursuit OF knowledge.

There is said to be an old negro in
Talbot county, Ga, who learned to
spell a curious way in slavery times.
His owner lived in a sparsely settled
neighborhood. and he, being o small
boy, was sent along to accompany the
children to school. The teacher
would not allow him to 90 into the
schoolroom when the pupils were re-
citing. This aroused his curiosity,
and he would steaithily approach the
door and repeat after the spelling class
until he could spell every word in
Webster's blue back spelling book be-
fore he knew the alphabet. He now
reads and spells very well.-Boston

In one OF them the old-fashioned plan
OF putting it in pan of warm water

enough the lid was taken off OF the

In an old book written by a west
ern Congressman, contemporary Of
Webster and Clay, containing re-
minisences Of his time, a story is told
Of one Of his friends, a farmer in
Kentucky named Payne, who had six
daughters, none Of whom were
blessed with beauty.
The Congressman knew them in
their homely youth, and when he re-
turned, few years later, found them
all married to good, influential men.
So great was his surprise that he
ventured TO ask their father why they
all had been so sought when other
girls remained neglected. The old
farmer chuckled.
q" Yes, and you may say when they
had neither dover nor good looks,
Well, I'll tell you. When l want my
cattle TO eat buckwheat stubble in
stead OF grass, don't drive them into
that field, fence it off from them.
They are SO contrary that they always
want the thing they can't get. They
break down the fence; | drive them
out and put il up. BY the time they
fight for it once or twice they think
they like the stubble.
d" Well, / saw my girls wern't the
most attractive kind, and-I fenced
them in.
You never found them in hotels
dancin' or keepin' stalls at country
fairs. Young men TO know them had
to come to their fathers house. When
the neighbors saw how the Payne
girls we're kept apart from the crowd,
they thought their value must be
high. Young men came to break
down fences"
"This story was coarsely told, per.
haps," adds the narrator. But
there is more in it than meets the
eye."
lie was right. Every young girl
wishes, il il be Gods will, that she
shall live a woman's full life as wife
and mother, that some man who is
worthy shall some day seek her to
make her his own.
The desire is natural and right. But
II she hopes for this let her keep up
the fences.
The girl who tramps up and down
the village street, who runs to the
shop or Postoffice where the men
and tries to coax them to
her side, is only making herself COM
mon and cheap in their eyes.
Let her remember the Kentucky
farmers maxim, and be sure that
men, as cattle like to break down the
fence, and view with contempt that
which is exposed upon the open
highway.

fool ought to know when he has had
enough"
He ought admitted Billings.
Well, I've had enough"
"He does !"
There was a ring of conviction in
Billings voice. and it was just because
of that that they quarreled. Those
two words explain why Mrs. Filkins
no longer calls on Mrs. Billings and
why the Filkins children are not al
lowed to play ''tag" with the Billings
children. 1t marked the beginning OF
a feud that may last for generations.

says little, but goes off by himself

says nothing, but goes straight to bed,
