BILL BARToN'S BOAST.
He Never oueered His Friends Nor shook
His Mother.

After the trial, confined in his small
stone box in the county Jail, in that
wild mining town in Colorado. Bill Bar
ton had plenty of time to think.
But, strive as best he might. his
thoughts always went around in the
same circle, beginning and ending with
single name.
That name-well, never mind it now.
No home, no good influences, no
words of cheer or consolation. Such
had been the life led in the past by this
man. When he was not sitting in the
Happy Days saloon he was over in st.
Golfers gambling hell, playing his
money across the green.
How he came to drop his man he
really never knew. The rude justice
of the place and the twelve red-shirted
men declared it murder, and he laughed
like mailman when they said that he
should die on the ninth day by stretch
ing hemp.
And as he sat in that damp, narrow
stone box night and day. day and night,
with his doom coming nearer and
nearer. gradually his spirit of bravado
began 10 break. Somehow, in the long
watches of the night. back again came
sweeping that name, for he was always
thinking of il now, and il was always
there.
Then came the last night on earth.
II was tranquil one for Bill Barton,
the murderer of Sandy Mcbride.
Strange to say he managed to sleep
some, and then came a soothing fancy
of another time and another place, far
gone now, when life had meant so much
more to him than these later years had
ever known. Into his dreams that last
night "A sweet tranquility stole that did
not seem to be of this world
And tina. name-it was always there.
At daylight the sheriff touched his
face and babe him rise and meet his
death with his boots on, like man.
Bill Barton smiled. The boys gathered
around the tree The parson offered
his words II was very still, and Bill
kissed the Book, but said not word.
Then they aslxed him if he had anything
to say before his soul was swung off in
the dark.
In his face came pathos such as lives
only once in lifetime, in his voice the
resolution of one who calmly welcomes
death.
He turned to the gang.
Boys" he said. Il thank Heaven
that an old gray-haired woman shall

They say Bill Barton's death was like

pain. In it the man who never queered
his friends squared up his black years
of wrongs. N. " Recorder.

bris-hay and weeds. But the center
of the destructive path was a quarter
of a mile distant, and they could see
the swirling mass go careering toward
the northwest. Then the rain came
down steadily and they could talk.

ing at little Jane.
YES, and she's good, too"
''She must be great comfort to ysr?"
Il couldn't live without her"
Melancthon thought how neatly
formed was the mothers hand as il
rested on the child's head and somehow
wished he had courage to touch it.
''She might come over to see me some
times"
Yes, she might-if you would let
her"
This was too much. and when he had
finished telling how greatly he should
enjoy the child's visit and had included
her mother in the invitation and had
explained about the land and they had
exchanged mutual condolences about
the loneliness of prairie life, he was
almost sorry TO see that the sky had
cleared and the setting July sun was
flooding the glistening plain.
The widow looked toward her home.
why, where is my cabin?" she asked,
in establishment.
Sure enough, where was it? The
storm had leveled it to the earth and
she was without a home.

said Melancthon. IN 90 down TO the

so mellowed his heart that in the little
after-supper talk across the table while
Jane explored the odd corners of the
room he blurted out: ''Sposin' we

''Well, little one, where did you drop

"From mammals house." replied a

clouds were moving faster, but he did
not notice it. A full-throated Bob

sunflower stalk and called to the eager
traveller. but he heard not. There was
mingling with the image of the little
one waiting yonder thoughts of a sun
ny-faced sister who back in the old boy
hood days had played with him by
the waters of Lake Erie. He had
scarcely thought of her for years, and
now the old pang that nearly broke
his boyish heart when she was taken
from him and laid TO rest came back
again.
A pearly drop twinkled on his beard

Raby and Collie,

which, after the fashion of its kind.
soon made itself one of the family. and
assumed special responsibilities in con-
nection with the youngest child, little
girl three years of age One day the
gentleman, returning from a drive, as
he neared his house noticed the dog in
a pasture separated from the road by a
tone wall. From behind this wall the
collie would spring up, bark, and then
jump down again, constantly repeating
the performance. The man left his
horse and went to the spot. There he
found his little girl seated on stone,
with the collie keeping guard beside
her. The intelligent animal wagged
his tail, and parked his delight at see
ing his master. In the light snow the
path taken by the child and dog could
be plainly seen, and as the father traced
it back he saw where the little girl had
walked several times around an open
well in the pasture. Close to the brink
were prints of tie baby shoes, but still
closer, on the very edge Of the well,
were the tracks of the collie which had
evidently kept between her and the
well The faithful creature seemed to
know that upon him lay the RESPONSE

AMERICAN GATETY.
Mirth and Light-Heartedness Are a Ma
tional Characteristic.

Mirth and Light-Hesrtedness Are Ma
tional Characteristic.
The older nations are sad and weary.
We are young, and can afford to laugh.
England always took her pleasure sadly,
and France has long since become trag-
ic; but on this side the Atlantic the Sc
cret of gayety lives and thrives. A re-
cent visitor to our shores has said:
Nothing impressed me more than the
buoyancy and light-heartedness of the
people" The stimulating atmosphere,
the sense of a boundless future, the
throb and thrill of unresisting progress,
are all contained in American humor.
1t is not the laughter of fools. On the
contrary, it is the result of a peculiar
intellectual shrewdness. 1t is not con-
fined to a class or a series of classes: it
is a common heritage. When man
can jest at defeat and make epigrams
in disaster, he surely is the most genial
of creatures: and the American can do
this, and does.
This freshness of laughter has bub-
bled up considerable in our literature.
Europeans dispute all national traits
except the humorous. That is beyond
dispute. Mark Twain, Artemus Ward,
Brete Harte and James Russell Lowell
are the acknowledged leaders of dry,
exaggerated drollery and refined caus-
tic wit. This same Englishman we
quoted above, goes on to say: Every
one met had an eye for the ludicrous
side of everything" Grave divines,
such as Ward Beecher and Bishop Peck,
were no exception to the rule, and the
stories told of the latter are so excel
lent that one should not be omitted.
The bishop was man of immense
girth and equal voracity. In one great
conference he came to represent the
west, and began his speech by uncon-
sciously placing his hands over the re-
gion where he most abounded. and say
ing very dramatically: Brethren, the
Pacific slope greets you"
We can vouch for this upon personal
experience, that ''funniosities" which
have passed into our common speech
are most amusing to eastern ears, pro-
vocative of endless laughter.
The habit must be guarded, as must
all others, but one can not but rejoice
in the wise mirth which helps men and
women on the other side to appreciate
our national life and manners more
hiQhly.-N. Y. Ledger.

He was a prophet of exalted dignity
and very irascible.n His rod possessed
extraordinary virtues: "When Musa
became fatigued in his travels he rode
on it, and it ran like an Arab horse. In
darkness il shone like lamp. When
he was thirsty he let it down into a
well, whereupon it became elongated,
a bucket appeared at its extremity and
water could be drawn. When he be-
came hungry, food appeared on any
wall to which he pointed. ~. y. sun.

DO BEES INJURE FRUIT9
The Proposition Emphatically Denied b,
a WeiI-Known Authority.

The Proposition Emphatically Denied by
WeiI-Known Authority.
The idea that bees injure crops Is
only a silly prejudice. A gentleman IN
France, several years ago, established q
green house and stocked it with g
great variety of choice fruit trees
Time passed. and every year there was
a super-abundance of blossoms, with
very little fruit Various plans were
devised and adopted to bring the trees
into bearing but without success until
il was suggested that the trees needed
fertilization, and that bees were needed
for this. A colony was introduced the
next season and there was no longer
any difficulty in producing crop1. The
bees distributed the pollen, and the set
ting of fruit followed naturally. In
stead of being an injury to the crop
they are an advantage. The stamens
and pistils of flowers are the male anc
female organs. The stamen is the
male, which furnishes the pollen; the
pistil is the female, which must be i'm
pregnated by this dust or pollen from
the stamen. or no fruit will be pro
duced This fertilization is accom-
lished by the bees moving from one
flower to another and carrying the
pollen, sticking to their legs and wings,
to the next flower, and impregnating
its pistils. says American Bee Journal
The all-wise Creator created the bee
for the flower, and the flower for the
bee; endowed the plant with the powe;
of secreting the liquid sweet, and gave
the honey bee the instinct to search
after it and treasure it for it's own as
