The Boys Utmost Thoughts.

Alden's mother was woman of more
than medium height, weighing nearly 200
pounds. She was subject to severe "heart
attacks" and after one that nearly prove
fatal and while anticipating return that
would end her life she called Alden to h0l
bedside to give him a few parting words o.
motherly counsel, so necessary to boy OF
six years. With the thought of near de-
mise to give pathos and earnestness to hel
remarks, she spoke of leaving him and
showed him what he must do to grow up
a good man after she was gone. The con-
versation seemed to make the desired inn
preston and he was so sober and thought
full that she ore than half regretted hav
ing worked :, pom his sympathies in such a
manner.
Wishing to know the depth of his
thought she said, "Well, my dear, of what
are you thinking?" One can well imagine
her feelings when he remarked with evil

sAeNs NURSING BOTTLE.
A Railroad Incident in Which Every
Passenger Becomes Interested.

A Railroad Incident in Which Every
Passenger Becomes Interested.
A few days ago baby left town by train.
To be sure there were others-the mother
and father and the baby's nurse. But
these didn't count, for it was the first baby.
The dining car attachment to the baby's
train was nursing bottle.
The members of the group had disposed
themselves comfortably in the car, and it
was just drawing out of the station when
the nurse discovered that the baby's nurs-
ing bottle was missing. Search was made
for it everywhere-on the floor in the bags,
even in the pockets of the unhappy father;
there was the nice little pail of cold milk
intended to fill the bottle, there was the
package of baby food, there was everything
but the bottle.
A days journey without nursing bottlel
"And she's too little to drink a thingl'
walled the young mother.
Under such unusual circumstances of
storm and stress as this, there was but one
thing to do-to call the porter. And they
did it.
The porter reflected. They might tele-
graph on to the next station, he finally
suggested. Telegraph to the station
master to have man meet the train with
baby's nursing bottle"
"Oh, yesr" gasped the mother with an
air of relief.
Just the thing" said the father gladly,
and followed the grinning porter down the
car.
''See here" said the young man slipping
a bill into the black hand, you'd better

And evidently he did, for when the
first station he had telegraphed to was
reached, in came youth with nursing
bottle. 1t was put to work at once and
quiet brooded over the car At the next
station there came in youth with nurs-
ing bottle. This was gladly received as
understudy for the first in case of disaster.
When the train stopped again another
nursing bottle appeared in the doorway.
Then the passengers began to smile, and
the next station began to be anticipated
by them.
Sure enough, at the next station the
most prominent person on the station plat
form was man with one of those unmis-
taxable bottles. Then people laughed, and
the only unconcerned person in the car was
the baldheaded one for whom all this was
going on.
At the next station another man and an
other bottle. Then the young mother be-
gan to get hysterical 'We're perfect
sights!" she was heard to whisper eXcit-
eddy. "We're not an orphan asylum or u
baby farm"
Then the young father was seen to go
hastily out and interview the porter once
more. This time the medium of exchange
was silver The porter had evidently
promised to be of a second service, and
possibly greater one.-New York World.

Brother Against Brother.

Not far from Standing Rock is an old
deserted house where once lived the We'll
come family, composed Of the old mother
and her two sons, Frank and George.
Frank, having fallen in love with south
ern girl, went south and soon obtained
possession of large plantation.
The great civil war soon commenced.
Frank Welcome joined the Confederate
forces, and his brother George after much
begging got permission to enlist in the
Union army.
1t was after the battle of Fair Oaks that
George received the news of the death of
his mother, which was caused by a broken
heart and the enlistment of Frank in the
Confederate army. George felt much hurt
by his brothers action, and longed for re-
venge, which soon came.
A short time after his mothers death he
was transferred, his regiment being or
dered to storm part of a Confederate

The Secret of Keeping Young.

To keep young through advancing years
is by no means an easy task, and it might
without wide departure from the fact be
called the art of modern times. Men have
dreamed of it in all ages, and the search
for the fountain of youth immortal has
been as keen as that for the philosophers
stone, which should transmute all things
to gold. 1t is only in these latter days that
it is coming to be recognized that the whole
secret lies in the attitude of the mind
toward life; that it is not upon outward
resources that one is to depend, but thai
the fountain of immortal youth is within
one or nowhere.
Mankind is coming to realize at last that
to keep young it is in the first place neces'
sary to be young, and that the many per-
sons who are born, so to say, in their Sec
ond or third childhoods cannot remain
young because they have never been young
at all. 1t is realizing also that to retain
the youth when one possesses it it is need
full that one have extraordinary fleXibilitJ
Joined to great persistence. The conditions
of life alter with advancing years, and ii
is important that the attitude Of the indi'
yidual toward life remains constantly that
of youth.
It is not easy to put into words exactly
what is meant here, because the thing is
so subtle that it is well nigh impossible
for one to define it even to himself, and yet
those who are capable of achieving this
result are able to comprehend what il
meant. 1t is by no means frivolousness
since youth may be youth without being
frivolous, and in those advanced in year:
frivolity is not youthful so much as it i:
repulsive. The incongruity which it bring:
out between the years of the actor and the
role which he is playing destroys the illu
sion.-Boston Courier.
