A LECTURE ON A SPOON.
Tho Hired Man Got ~. but Failed To
Comprehend ~ word OF IL.

Il remember" said the rccountcr OF
the party. n dispensation OF what
might be called Spartan justice. IL
happened when | was a boy and made
a lasting impression. as incidents OF
the kind do on youthful mind.
Our folks at home had some old
silver spoons that had been in con-
slant service for generations. and were
small and thin. and carried In their
shallow bowls the makes OF every tooth
in the family. Each spoon had his
tory aud an association. as spoons did
have In those days. and they were
looked after with the greatest care.
My mother placed them under her
pillow every night; aud the whole fam
lis would be regularly awakened by q
midnight clatter of rafting spoons, ms
they had restless habit OF falling out
OF bed; so their value was enhanced by
the many sleepless nights they cost.
We'll. one OF those precious spoons
was missing, and there was great to-
do over IL. The servants were all
questioned. but no one had seen the
missing spoon. That night coorcd
girl. who had been taken in some
months before by my mother and who
was bright aud rather prccocious
character. told OF seeing new hired
man on the promises hiding something
in his jacket. She even cssayed to
find the jacket. and. sure enough, be-
tween the lining and the outside was
found the lost spoon.
my mother was SO happy in recov-
ing her property that she wanted the
man TO 90 scot free. Not SO my fa-
Their. who was solemn church-goer.
Il will give him lecture ON the sin Of
stealing he said. and keep him. MS he
Is useful man. am very sure he
will never steal from us again
II accompanied my father TO the
kitchen. where the man was raking
ashes over the Goals OF hot fire and
WAS preparing TO 60 TO bed. He sat
submissively still rs my father appear
ed. carrying n large bible. and he
listened,to the lecture that was deliv-
ed with an unmoved countenancc.
slept and awakened several times be-
fore 1t was finished. My fathers sol
cmn. monotonous voice affected me
like soporitic and / did not try to
fathom the language he used.
THE culprit was German, and
have since learned he did not under
stand Que word my father said To him.
nor even the nature of the accusation
against him. | thought then as
listened TO my fathers bass tones ia
that grim monologue. that the punish
ment was adequate TO the sin. had
been lectured myself. and would have
confessed TO almost anything to have
escaped the consequences
The lecture was supplemented by
a prayer in which my father implored
divine forgiveness for the offender.
The German took it all in good part
and remained in his situation. but was
no doubt carefully watched. Some
years after the colored girl acknowl-
edged that she hid the spoon in the
jacket in order to get rid OF him aud
crafty her love for mischief As he
never alluded to ii in any way we could
not tell what he thought Of the SER
vices of that night. or how much Of
the long moral lecture had been com
pretended. But / am certain. nc
never understood the criminal nature
OF the occasion. Detroit Frcs Press.

The Prince and the Happy Peasants - NJ
Black Forest

A German prince was on his bridal
tour says Texas Stfings. he was %
course. accompanied by the princess:
his bride. The happy couple 'taseieo
incognito leisurely through the beauu-
fnl Black Forest, stopping a DAY or SO
nj the little villages. where they stroiieu
about in each others company. unop-
served and unknown, enjoying tno
beautiful scenery. etc.
While sitting under the shade OF
tree near the roadside one day tho
prince. placing his arm around the
waist of the princess. just as ordinary
mortals might have done under the CIR
cumstances. exclaimed IN m ccs'asio
voice. looking upward: :. :.
II wonder. dearest Louisa. II IL ~

The wife sighed happy sigh, and
then INDUCED in speculative theories
as TO the possibility OF couple being
as happy in an humble cottage on n
small salary rs in u gorgeous palace
aud living on princely revenue. just
at this crisis n sturdy peasant came mp
the road. singing merry ronndelay.

Wife and children are In good health

''Ihcn am to understand that you
have no cause for annoyance"
The happy peasant scratched his
head aud replied:
Now that | come 10 think OF II.
there is little Improvement might
suggest.
You see work pretty hard during
the week. and Sunday don't object to
going 10 the tavern anti moistening
my clay with n glass OF beer. Old
friends come in, aud then | worry
down a second glass. and after while
third, and by the time 90 home I've
generally managed TO surround eight
or ten glasses. and then my wife Molly
goes for me. Maybe she doesn't make

Now. II IL were possible to have her

Shame on your exclaimed the
princess Indignantly. According To-
your own statement you are little
better than drunkard. You guzzle
beer. thus squandering the money you
should spend on your wife and child
rem. who with your bad example be-
fore their eyes will surely turn out
badly; and when your poor wife very
properly rebukes you. instead Of heed
ing her counsel. YOU jeer ut her. Oh.
you wretch"
The happy peasant stood with open
mouth, almost dumfounded at the tor
rent of abuse from the princess.
Winking slyly at the prince the happy
peasant punched him with his elbow
and said. just such another spit-hro
as Molly" aud walked of laughing.
