COMING AND GOING.


"Wsit a minute, grandpa: the Little Ones are
coming
Chorused voices shouted from merry rounds
Of play;
Caitchat, pitpat and little feet drew nearer.
While CHEEKY smile Lit faces appeared along
the way.
Ruddy cheeks and rosy lips, bright eyes grow
ing brighter;
Nervous feet and tireless tongues kept up a
merry strife;
Sun Drowned hands stretched eagerly to arms
held widely open
Hands reaching out, arms reaching back-the
story brief of Life.
TOldin pantomime SO plainly, so clearly set in
picture,
That even he who runneth, in letters bold
may read;
The Little Ones are coming, but the Older Ones
are going;
The story is true one and the lesson we
must heed.
The Little Ones are coming coming faster and
still faster,
With drmer step and surer, with no uncer-
tain tread;
The Little Ones are coming, and the Older Ones
are going.
For the Little Ones grow older and the Older
Ones are-dead.

A Clever Pet Monkey.

Commander R. D. Evans has on board
his ship pet monkey. The greatest
dainty which can be given the monkey
is Malaga grape, and in order to test her
agility all sorts of devices are resorted to.
On one occasion a grape attached to a
slender string was dangling from a yard
arm at distance of eight feet above the
deck. After several futile efforts to bridge
the distance by jump, the monkey retired
to a corner and apparently gave up the
game. The officers laughed and declared
the commander would be a heavy loser by
bis bets wagered on Ginny. Finally one
of the mum Der, six footer, passed under
the swinging fruit and paused moment
to look up. Like an arrow from the bow,
the monkey darted from the corner, jumped
on the officers shoulder and with one hy-
ing leap upward had secured the prize

Late the other afternoon number of men
lost their lives by the flooding of the Lyle

water that burst through the old workings.
The accident occurred just about the time
the shifts were changing. The collierv Off
Gals say that eight men were drowned
The place where the accident occurre is a
new coal operation that is being opened on
big scale by the Lytle Coal Company
The works are on Primrose Mountain
several miles northwest or Minersville, and
tap the great Wolf Greek colliery, which
has been idle for several years, owing to
large accumulations of water.
Twoyears ago the present operators begun
the reopening of the tract. ana have spent
many thousand dollars in pumping and
opening up new slopes. Gangways are being
pushed out from these slopes on all sides of
the new workings. The old water lies in it,
and it is the bursting through of one of these
deposits without warning that caught the
miners.
They were surrounded on all sides by
water. Some of the men swan out, while
others are said to have been heard talking
as if they had reached a high point above
the water.

SANG ON THE SCAFFOLD,
Charles Miller, the Boy Murderer,
Executed in Cheyenne

Charles E. Miller, the boy murderer, has
been hanged at Cheyenne, Wyoming. He
showed no anxiety about his future, and
died like dime novel hero. He sang
song on the scaffold which he himself had
composed.
Miller was the seventeen year-old muir
derer of Ross Fishbaugh and Waldo Emer-
son in box car of an incoming freight
train in September, 1890. The three were
tramping Westward. Miller was a confirmed
vagabond The others were members Of re-
spectacle families at st. Joseph, No, making
a cheap trip to Denver where they hoped to
get good positions. These two were killed
for their money-S65. Each received bullet
in the head.
Miller went to Kansas confessed to his
brother and was delivered to the authori-
ties. After conviction two efforts wers
made to have the Governor commute the
sentence His final decision was mace two
hours before the execution.
Miller was born in New York on December
q, 1874. His parents died when he was five
years old, his father committing slIicide by
taking paris green and his mother worrying
herself to death.

OF the groans OF captives shall coma the

tory for God and the truth.
But my text is descriptive also OF those
who hunt for opportunities, and when they
get them do not use them. The rabbit they
overcome by an early morning tramp lies
for weeks knocked in the dooryard. The
deer that they brought down after long and
exhausting pursuit In the Adirondacks lies
on the doorSiu undreSsed ami the savorv
yenlSOn becomes maIodOrous carcass. They
roast not that which they took in hunting
Opportunities laborously captured yet use
less, and that which came in invitingly, like
a string Of plover and quail and wild duck
hung over hunters shoulder, turns TO some
thing worse than nothing.
So with Agrippa when almost persua led
to be q Christian. So with the lovely young
man who went away from Christ very sor-
rowful. So with tens of thousands who
have whole hands full, whole skies full OF
winged opportunities which profit them
nothing at all, because they roast not that
which they took in hunting. Oh, make out
Of this captured moment banquet for eter-
nifty. The greatest prize in the universe TO
be won is the love and pardon OF Christ.
Win that and you can say:
Now have found Friend

Activity on the Farm.

The season of activity for the
farmer is again at hand, and where
ever you may go in the country you
will see preparations for spring work
going on. Operations which during
the winter have been confined to the
stables and barnyard have been trans
ferred to the field, and the enterpris-
ing farmer is anxiously awaiting the
sowing of oats, and breaking the
ground for corn, potatoes and other
vegetables, after having burned away
the brush and cleaned up the prem
Uses generally. Up to this time all
signs point to favorable year for
the husbandman, if the yield of pro-
duce, and not the prices, be alone
considered. Abundant crops are
likely to be harvested, though it is
difficult to foretell what the prices
will be. The wheat has not suffered
materially during the winter, and,
unusual to say, the fruit trees are
admitted to be uninjured. We hope
our agriculturists may have pros
porous and remunerative season.
