Watch a Child,s Bent.

Let the parents watch the bent of
the child's inclinations and judge
from them only what calling he
seems most fitted for In the vast
majority of cases, where it is essen
tial that the child should be bread
winner as soon as he attains years OF
discretion, it may be necessary for
him to do much work that is irk
some and for which he has no special
adaptation before he can choose 4
calling of his own.
The man who is compelled by pen
ury to carve out a career for himseli
acquires a rugged strength by the
means that often enables HIM to out
distance his rival who has nodded
his life from more plastic circum
stances. New York Tribune.

CHAPTER XI.
ONE HAPPY WEEK.

Breakfast over / walked out 70 the
yard and looked about the home OF the
Cornells. The house occupied q high
position, commanding view Of the
country for many miles in every direc-
ton. II needed but glance to see
what kind of farmers the Cornells were,
for on every side thrift and enterprise
showed plainly. There were no dilapt-
dated fences, no noolSs and corners
growing up with weeds, no evidences OF
half-tilled fields; but, on the contrary,
everything appeared to be in perfect
order. It was so different from the
generality of farms had passed In my
travels Of the day before.
Ihad passed some minutes In the yard
admiring the surroundings, and was on

In Berlin, not long since, a gentle
man who held a small Office under the
government on,returning to his home
for dinner noticed that during his abb

asked in an anxious voice.
She responded that Mr.. Laudcrbact,

piece of old tripe, and tearing out his
hair by the roots he exclaimed, in an

"We are ruined family. Don't you
know that the glazicr Lauderbact is
suspected of disloyalty to the govern
mentp lie Is a socialist in disguise. IL
the emperor hears of IL shall lose my
position" and once more the official
groaued in his spirit like an old horse
with the collie.
His wife, however, with the quick
intuition Of woman, was equal to the
emergency. Selling her husbands
cane she smashed three window panes
and then sent for the court glazicr,
who was, of course, loyal and in good
standing with the emperor, TO have
the new panes put in. But for this

Australian Hospitality.

Australian station hospitality keeps
the latch-string always out and says:
"Come when you wish, do what you
like and stay as long as you can" A
writer in Scribner says that the Aus
tralian host places himself, his family
and all that Is his at the service OF the
guest-fishing tackle, breach-loaders,
horses and servants. Such hospitality
Is rarely abused, though the writer
mentions one exceptional case, where n
guest prolonged his visit until 1t wore
out his welcome. To one station came
visitor, whose original intention OF
staying month was reconsidered, and
he remained two. Six months passed,
and he was still t..crc. He enjoyed
himself hugely with horses, dogs and
guns, developed an encouraging appe-
tite, and his host did not complain.
After about nine months the hosts
manner became less warm, and Mt the
end OF the year he spoke no more to his
guest. The latter was not sensitive,
but fingered on for the space OF a second
year, when he departed and went to
visit somebody else. During these two
years he was never told that he had
stayed long enough and would do well
TO 90 away.--Youth's Companion.

A MOUNTAIN STREAM.

Whata you saying, fnountain-brook.
And what does your murmur tellH
Is 1t something may hear and know
OF Heaven above, or Of earth below,
Is II tale Of love or tale Of woe,
You lisp through wood and dellP
What are you saying, mountain-brookH
Do you sing Of forest glade,
OF pools with their silv'ry crystal sheen
Like clasp Of rock with gem between.
Flecked here and there by the foliage green
From pine and oaken shade'
And what will you say, o mountain-broolS,
When the shades of night shall closer
When the birds will sink In tn embrace Of sleep,
You'll plash into pools DER the messy steep;
Through the nights long wa, will you laugh
or weep,
When nature Is IN reposes
know what It Is, o mountain-brook,
And my heart leaps In reply.
You are telling to me Creators praise,
And running DER with your gladstone lays,
Babbling the tale In a thousand ways \
To earth, and DIR, and sky.
And learn from you, bright mountain-brool.
That life OF praise is best;
That Makers love is the only theme
To well to the brim Of lifes warm stream,
To employ the day and to mold the dream
With love divine impressed.

Max Haxa Rsen Once.

There is bright little girl in Boston
who has mind of her own. She is so in
dependent, in fact, that she didn't seem
to relish being reminded by visitors day
in and day out how much she 'looked
like her mother"
"Mamma, she said, very decidedly ,one
night after stating her grievance, just
before going to bed, ~ don't like it!'
Don't like it, my child? Why not?'
Because you are not pretty" This
rather blunt assertion of the wee critic
dumfounded the mother-who by the
way, is regarded as Il tine-looking
woman. The little one noted the
change in her mothers face and at
once regretting her frank assertion es'
sayed to modify her criticism by declar-
ing

doggy-woggy." He insisted on carry.
ing that document back to his mistress.
minute later the intelligent animal
was frisking around in front of Mrs. b..
wagging his tail and holding up the let
ter, as much as to say: "Ain't smart
dog?"
Old Burdstick swooped down with an
agility that was surprising in man of
his years and captured the letter. In
vain did Mrs. B. endeavor to secure the
compromising document. He smelt a
rat, with livid fingers he tore it open
and, after several frantic efforts, he ad-
justed his glasses and began to read:
"'Dearest Gus: The old fraud-puff-
the old fraud-why that's me-will be
away to-morrow'-not much he won't"
-etc.-and the excited old gentleman
kept on reading and putting and blow
ing.
The note was signed: "Your darling
Lucy"
Mrs. Burdstick's name was Lucy, and
he recognized her well-known hand
writing. He glared around like one of
the wild animals. The dude was not in
sight, neither was Mrs. Burdstick in
sight, as she had hurried away so asnot
to be present during the Impending
cyclone. ALI at once, a graY-coated
policeman darted forward, rushed
across the grass, and from behind a
large tree, where he was trying to hide,
he dragged the trembling dude.
"I'll teach yer to kape off the grass, "
said the policeman, slamming the
wretched man against tree time or
| SO.
That's right! make him keep off the
grass! Brain him." exclaimed Mr..
Burdstick.
Lave me alone for that" howled the
policeman, getting in some very fine In
dian club practice.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
policeman did his whole duty. When
Snobberly comes out of the hospital he
will be summoned as a witness in the
| divorce suit. Mrs. Burdstick has re-
turned to her parents, and among the
dogs that were drowned by the author
tiles was one that bore a remarkable
resemblance to unfortunate Fido, and
which had been turned over to the dog

them was Gus Snobberly, the dudiest

Burdstick had remarked how singular
it was that when he came to the park

between him and one of the slugs from

many people became so interested in
the proceedings outside that they paid

galloped into the ring. The old hay

minutes they were all down. This re-
assured me. They were evidently in q
playful mood, and wouldn't kill any
one in the audience without serious
provocation.
AFTER this preliminary sport they
forced every performer to come in and
entertain them with special act. TIC

He was bound hand and foot, and was
looking dismal, for melody had shot
a hole through his ear, and it hurt.
They unbound him and made him rig
up in the togs of the dead clown, after
which they requested him to shin ur
the center pole. He rather objected to
this, but the rustic and one or two
more fellows, full of fun, began to
shoot into the sawdust around his
feet and he started to climb. He spent
good deal of his strength in swear
ing, and stopped to rest once or twice,
but being urged on by the popping OF
revolvers he managed to reach the tor
of the pole. He wore one of those high
clowns hats, and the cowboys ordered
him to hold it out in his hand. They
