The man looked quickly at him.
"What is the matter, my lad?"he asked;
and the voice, though gruff, did not
sound unkind. "You are not afraid of
the big man, are you? Do you think
j am an ogre?"
"Yes," said the Boy; and he gave one
sob, and then stopped himself.
The gray man burst into great roar
of laughter, which made everyone in
the car jump in his seat.
Still laughing, he drew his hand from
his pocket, and in it was-not knife,
but beautiful, shining, golden pear.
Take that, young Hop-o'-my-thumb,"
he said, putting it in the Boys hands.
IF you will eat that, promise not TO
eat you; not even to take a single bite.
Are you satisfied"
The Boy ventured to raise his eyes to
the mans face; and there he saw such a
kind, funny, laughingly look, that be-
fore he knew it he was laughing, too.
81 don't believe you are an ogre, after
allni he said.
Don't you?" said the big man.
well, neither do l! But you may as
well eat the pear, just the same"
And the Boy did.-Laura E. Richards,

FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
WHAT SPOILED THE DAYq

A little maid had left her play
To ask what allied her holiday.
'Somefng did spoil i'll Somebody
Has spoiled my boo'ful day for me-
who daredi Who dared?" cried all the birds,
With such sound of twittering words
That all the people passing by
Looked up TO listen curiously.
Who spoiled TT" hummed a humble. bee.
mot ] I've worked too busily.''
The south wind shivered at the thought,
And spilled the perfumes that he brought.
So wistfully she asked Of each,
What none could tell, what none could teach;
For what it was no one could say
Had spoiled her happy holiday
But in her little trundle bed
She dreamed soft hand touched her head.
No one was near; but, as she slept,
Close to her ear her Conscience crept.
II did it'll Twas only i
That stole the blue from out your skyl
shut the precious perfumes up
In every dainty flower cupl
II duled the splendor OF the grass;
! dimmed the rivers dimpled glass.
The very birds sang harshly?-whyl
Twas !, dear, troubled you-just Il"
All in her pretty bed she lay, .f.t .s
The little maiden tired Of play;
Soft in her sleep we heard her say:
Il will be good another dayi"

THE FRIEND OF TIE FARMER.

Comparison Between tho Agricultural
Schedules Of tho Mckinley and Mills
Tariff bills shows That Protectionists
Have been Far More Friendly to Our
Agrlculturlsts Than Free Tradsrs-Me-
kinley, Not Mills, Has Been the tricni
OF the Farmer.
The coming campaign is to be a cam
paign devoted largely to discussion OF
the in terests of the American farmer
Both parties have declared themselves
the friends of our agricultural pro-
ducers, both have stated it as their be-
lief that their particular policy will
benefit the farming population. But
how different the record of the two?
The party of protection, true to its
professions, comes forward with tho
record of the home market widened by
the establishment of new industries, as
well as by the restriction of competing
agricultural imports, while the party
of free trade has not been able to go a
single step further in tightening what
it calls the burdens" that rest upon
the farmer, than by abolishing the duty
on wool, one of the most important
articles which he produces. There are
other ways, too, of test ing the sincerity
of the professions of love for the farmer
so profusely made by both political
parties, one of VIII ich is to compare the
answer which was given to the de-
mands of agriculture al societies and or
CARNATIONS by the trainers of the Nc
Kinley tariff law with that given to
those demands by the author of the
Mills bill. Among tn e hearings before
the ways and means committee, pre-
paratory to the construction of the Nc
Kinley bill, we find the following me-
mortal from farmers club in New
York state:
We, your memorialists, citizens of the United
States engaged in farm ing, in view of the prob
| able REIMBURSEMENT of the present tariff at the
present session of congress, do most earnestly
and respectfully call your attention to the fol-
lowing facts and figures
The memorial then goes on to ask
| for an increase of duty on potatoes,
onions vegetables, turnips, hay, beans,
| cabbages and various agricultural
| products, stating the reason why such
increase is necessary and closing thus:
| The year 1889 has been hard one to the Long
Island farmer, hay and grain damaged, pota-
toes one third crop, caulifower crop failure.
cabbage no sale, turnips no sale, and so on
through the list, and yet the New York mar
kets are full Of foreign produce
Gentleman, it is a small boon we ask. Grant
it, give us the same need of protection you
willingly grant the manufacturer agricul.
ture on the same footing.
How did protectionists reply to this
appeal, and how does their treatment OF
the farmer compare with that given To
him by the ''reformers?" TO answer
this we have compiled table giving
the comparative rates of duty imposed
on various ayr icultural products by tho
Mckinley and Mills tariff bills.

A Newspaper Horse.

"Silvers" is the name of horse in the
service of the Chicago Tribune, and he
is walking illustration of the saying
that "a horse can all but talk" There
is not carrier in Chicago who knows
his route better than Silvers. In trans
ferring the papers from the mail-room
to the early morning trains, the driver
has nothing to do but arrange the bun
dies in the wagon, while Silvers goes
unerringly to his destination. Return
ing to the Tribune Office, he backs for
another load, and seems to know ex-
actly where it is to go. He also seems
to realize when there is occasion to
hurry, getting the tip" from the speed
with which packages are thrown into
the wagon, and then he goes like a
race-horse. Nearing the bridge and
hearing the bang of the gong, which
indicates that the structure is about to
swing around, he lifts his tail and polSes
his nose out ahead of him as he gallops
up the approach and dashes over the
span in jiffy.-Golden Days.

A STOLEN DOLL.
Where Little Jeans Mamma Found the
Last Sundays Dinner.

Where Little Jeans Mamma Found the
Last Sundays Dinner.
Jean always had the queerest doll
you ever saw. There was Tom, whose
head was big hickory nut stuck on a
stick; John, who was once little pine
burr; Sallie, whose green face showed
her to have been small watermelon;
and her twin sister, Susy, whose yellow
face proved her to have grown as
little yellow squash. Besides these,
there was red-headed Teddy, the
bright plaid shawl, whose red fringe
answered for hair; Chloe, the brown
cloak; and Chibbie dearest, the yellow
one. ..... M.
Yet Jean wanted more. She dressed
up Toddlekins, the cat, and Bright
eyes, the dog; but they hated clothes,
and would not lie in a cradle. Then
she tried Biddy, the hen; but she
pecked and squawked.
Jean was looking for new child,
when one Saturday night her papa
brought home large turkey, ready to
be cooked the next day. In the MORN
ing mamma and papa went to church,
leaving Jean with the servant girl
who soon strayed off to speak to the
next-door girl.
Jean at once ran downstairs, took
the turkey from the cellar, and tugged
it up the stairs to her room. She
opened her bureau drawer and threw
everything out, hunting for a dress for
her turkey child. Her best new red
silk frock was just the thing, SO over
the turkeys head she put it, pulled the
two legs through the sleeves, and there
was the baby all dressed. tu s.
Then she sat and rocked it, forget
ting everything in her joy at having a
big new doll.
When her father and mother returned
they found Katie hunting everywhere
for the turkey to cook. Up and down
they looked, but at last decided that it
had been stolen. Mamma went up
stairs to take off her bonnet, when
what should she see but Jean in her
little rocker, with the turkey held
closely to her, while all around were
the other dolls! Then Jean had to
give up her baby to be cooked for din

THE BOY PAPA SAW.
IT Was Neither Money Nor a Bicycle Tha
Made Him Happy.

II Was Neither Money Nor Bicycle That
Made Him Happy.
Guess who was the happiest child I
saw to-day?" asked papa, taking his
own two little boys on his knees.
"Oh, who, papa?"
But you must guess"
"Well," said Jim. slowly, 81 guess it
was very wich little boy, wifi lots and
lots of tandy and takes"
NO" said papa, she wasn't rich; he
had no candy and no cakes. What do
you guess, Joe?"
81 guess he was pretty big boy"
said Joe, who was always wishing he
wasn't such little boy. land | guess
he was riding big, high bicycle"
NO" said papa, she wasn't big; and,
of course, he wasn't riding a bicycle.
You have lost your guesses, so I'll have
to tell you. There was flock of sheep
crossing the city to-day; and they must
have come long way, so dusty, and
tired, and thirsty, were they. The
drover took them up, bleating and
lolling out their tongues, to the great
pump IN hampton court, to water them;
but one poor old eve was too tired to
get to the trough, and fell down on the
hot, dusty stones
"Then l saw my little man, ragged
and dirty and tousled, spring out from
the crowd of urchins who were watch
ing the drove, fill his old, leally felt
hat, which must have belonged to his
grandfather, and carry it one, two,
three, oh, as many as six times to the
poor, suffering animal, until the crea-
ture was able to get up and go on with
the rest"
Ibid the sheep say: Tank you" papa?"
asked Jim, gravely.
II didn't hear it" answered papa.
But the little boys face was shining
like the sun, and I'm sure he knows
what blessed thing it is to help what
needs helping. -Christian Observer.
