From the Fatal Lethargy.

The poor boy was sinking fast. His
eyes were hall closed and all attempts
to rouse him were Intellectual. The
physician had worked over him for
half an hour without success, and f.
nally announced that the only hope
OF saving his life vas to rouse him
from his stupor.
Cannot some of you induce him to
make some exertion ?" he asked. ave
can do nothing unless we can make
him do something for himself"
Then the boys mother went to the
bedside and pleaded with him grouse
himself for your sake, but there vas
not even a motion OF the muscles of
the lace to show that he was heard.
She told him how much she would do
for him and what nice times she would
have when he got well, but he did not
stir.
The father spoke of buying him a
pony and a little shotgun, but he did
not seem to understand. Even the
mention OF a circus and Wild West
show passed unheeded, and he gave
up in despair.
Then the sick boys little brother
crept to the bedside and said softly:
eddie, there's a chinaman opened
n shop in the mex block"
The eyes slowly opened and the little
brother vent on eSultingly:
"All the boys is 'goin there Monday
and shy some rocks through his win
dows."
"Who gets first crack at 'em ?"
asked the sick boy feebly.
"You do" replied the little brother.
THE boys gives you first show
cause you can throw strIghter than
any OF them"
"Sayl I'll make that pigtail think
there is an earthquake" exclaimed
the sick boy, trying to sit up in bed.

"Hell livei" cried the doctor Joy
fully, and the little brother was taken
