came the father of twenty-one boys

His second wife died many years ago,
and all his boys are out of his care and
custody, except two, who are in a Catholic
school, but his eye is as bright as ever, and
he seems fit for very many more years at
the switch. His name is Lanson Swan,
and he was born and reared on farm
on the New York side of Lake Cham
plain, but removed to New York as soon
as he was self supporting, and has now
been in the transportation line for over
half century. He is full of amusing
stories Of the old time merchants whom
he used to haul down Broadway, espe-
cially Of A. T. Stewart, who was one of

Wby He Didn't Rise.

Detroit is a lovely city and everybody
knows it. The love of it is bred in the
bone and never gets out Of the flesh.
The other Sunday a visiting clergyman
addressed the Sunday school of an up
town church. After serious talk he
said to the children:
'sAll Of you who desire to live in a
better world than this, please rise to
your feet"
All the children rose except one small
boz in the corner.
The good man looked at him in panied
surprise.
"My child" he said, very gently and
kindly, 'swhy don't you rise with the
others?
.Detroit's good enough for me, that's
why" sung out the youngster, and the
sole1nnity of the occasion was knocked

and full fellowship seems unreasonable,
but it was not done in haste.
Her father is minister and professor
of Greek at the California college, and
when his daughter expressed desire to
Join the church he made an exhaustive
inquiry as to the precedents in such
cases, after which the authorities OF the
church examined the child at length
and unanimously decided that she was
intellectually the equal of the average
child Of twelve years, and in the under
standing of religious truths thoroughly
qualified for membership. In her fa-
TIERS correspondence on the subject of
infant capacity he received accounts Of
many curious cases.
Rev. S. T. Smith, of Newton Center,
Mass, author of the hymn America"
told Of the conversion of a child Of four
years within his knowledge, followed by
consistent and active Christian life Of
forty years. In the writings of President
Edwards an account is given of Phoebe
Bartlett, who professed conversion at
four years and never dishonored her pro
fession. Rev. Galusha Anderson, of
Granville, O., told of an apparent con-
version at three years, followed by a
Christian life. Only twice, however, in
the United States have children of six
years been admitted to membership be-
fore this case. Gladys was baptized (by
immersion of course) at evening service
and formally admitted in the presence

Dusy His Life Through.

"The accent of an Irish gentleman
was said to be Characteristic of Sir
William White, the recently deceased
British ambassador to Turkey. It was
worth week Of ones lifetime to hear
his 'Ah, my dear sir-r-rw words that,
coming from his lips, rang through the
thickest doors. He was a man of leonine
aspect, tall, stalwart, with a massive
forehead and a flowing white beard. He
was a busy man, having in his whole
lifetime not passed an idle moment, it is
said.

Rapid Railroad Building.

General Annenkoff's exploit in rail
road building and equipment seems
wonderful in Russia. He built 1850
miles of railroad, from Sanarcand to
the Caspian sea, much of it along the
desert, in eighteen months. General H.
Moser, of Paris, is one Of the Oldest liv-
ing explorers Of Turlestan, and the rise
in Importance of the Pamir question has
directed his attention to the possibility
of Russia's building new roads with the
same marvellous speed.

A Pract;ca, Joke.

The British sense of humor frequently
finds it's expression in practical jokes,
and the young ''scion OF the aristocracy"
enjoys with artless glee Il species of fun
that an American would feel was adapt
ed only for schoolboys. sGhe following
playful manifestation is reported from
over the water as having recently &C.
Cured in well known country house.
A pompous and very dignified member
Of the government arrived at a friends
house where he was due for weeks
visit, and was met at the door by tall
footnlan whose familiar and impudent
greeting Immediately aroused the ire Of
the old gentleman. He mentally re-
solved to report the fellows insolence to
his master.
What was his surprise and horror,
however, when the servant, assuming
the attitude of prize fighter about to
begin operations, danced around him,
intercepting his movements at every
turn. "ls the man mad?'' thought the
startled statesman; 'surely he has taken
leave of his senses" In vain he spoke
soothingly to the supposed maniac; the
creature, who was of huge proportions,
circled threateningly around MIN, and
it was only after a few minutes OF really
uncomfortable anxiety that the indig-
nant guest found himself the victim of
little practical joke on the part OF the
eldest son of his host.-New York Trib-

who was the pioneer of feminine writers

NAV Be Happy When Married.

Fried calves liver is said to be fa-
vorite dish Of Prince Albert Victor, the
eldest son of the Prince of Wales. Prin-
cess Mary of Teck is said to be fond of
bacon, so when the two are wed they
can, like Jack Sprat and his wife,
''scrape the platter clean'- always pro-
vided that the breakfast dish is liver and
bacon.

In buying beef at cafe or shop you run
the risk Of getting horse meat. Its long
fbers and pinkish blood tell the tale.
