The French Broad

The French Broad River,
although it has but few claims,
to celebrity, size or Importance
has a beauty all its own and is
we'll worthy of mention. Rising
in the Blue Ridge Moutains OF
| North Carolina, celebrated for
their picturesque and magnificent
scenery, it pursues a winding course
for about 100 miles and then
mingles with the waters of the
Ohio. The springs that give it
| life are situated in the widest re-
cesses of the mountains still
known to sportsmen as the haunts
of the bear and deer. For the
first fifteen miles of its course it
is an ideal trout stream. with
waters clear as crystal and cold as
ice. The early spring is the proper
time to..visit this portion Of it, for
then it's beauty battles description.
During the month of May the
mountain laurel and wild rhodod-
endron are in full bloom, and as
the banks of the stream are fringed
with them the dark green leaves
of these shrubs, their pink
blossoms and the sparkling water
create picture so lovely that no
eye could fail to oe charmed by it.
But after rushing through many a
mountain gorge, some of which
are so narrow and deep that the
light of day never penetrates
their gloomy solitudes, the French
Broad reaches the valley below
and there it's character undergoes
a complete change. tits trans.
formed, as if by magic, from q
roaring torrent to peaceful and
slow moving river. Its banks are
n, longer clothed with dense forest
and almost impenetrable thicket,
but covered with we'll kept: and
prosperous farms. One could
scarcely believe this broad stream,
with hardly ripple upon the
surface of its placid waters, to be
the same that a few miles back
came leaping down the mountiin
side, creating many" a miniature
waterfall and cascade in it's de-
scent.
However, sad to say, the French
Broad soon loses its picturesque
aspect, for the charming mountain
stream deteriorates into a muddy
sluggish river, aud the country
through which.it flows, although
highly cultivated and fruitful
does not bear comparison with the
rugged grandeur of that above
described as embellishing the first
few miles of its course.

Danger in stemminE Flowers.

Bad effects at times attend the stem
ming of flowers; that Is, the addition OF
wisps to short cuttings to make needed
lengths in constructing bouquets or
large forms of decoration. Inthis work,
thin, threadlike wire is used for binding
the lengths together. This wire Is In
pieces about six inches long and nearly
as sharp as needles. In fast work the
points are likely to run under the finger
nails or enter the muscles Of the hands.
As they are more or less rusty, an acci-
dent with them calls at once for the 10
ton bottle and wrapping rags. or per-
haps poultice or salt pork applications

An Incident In m Engineers Life


Far, far down the track Is a dark spot,
over which hovers great cloud. The
engineer sees it, hauls out his watch,
glances at it. then resumes the business
Of looking cut Of the window. He was to
meet an east bound freight at that point
He did not know If the switches were in
place; he did not know but the passen-
ger train would dash into that freight
and the death Of many people follow.
There was no way for him to know ex-
cept that it was the duty Of his fellow
employees to see that the switches were
right. he did not slscken his speed.
Rapidly the huge mogul on the side
track loomed up. A roar and dash
and No. 81 flew past the waiting freight,
passing within three feet.--Chicago

The True Story of a Horse.
BY EMMA C. DowD.

BY EMMA C. DoWD.
aYou must put Old Jim out CT
the way before 1 come home J"
That was the parting order CT
Mr.. Bardwell, as he drove away to
Poultney, on that dreary November
morning.
The matter had been pending for
weeks, and, yet the words cast a
sudden gloom over the household.
Nobody ate much breakfast, and
there was little talking.
Old Jim had been the favorite
family horse for years; but he was
now too old to be of much use, and
Farmes Bardwell could not afford
to keep him through another win
ter. Crops had been poor, and
with Jasper in college, and Tina at
boarding-school, it was all the
farmer could do to make both ends
meet. Mr.. .Bardwell was. toe
merciful man to sell the horse
perhaps to let him be worked to
death in few weeks or months
So he had come to the conclusion
that the most humane way was to
kill him outright, though it nearly
broke his heart to think of it. 1t
was not often that the farmer
shirked his duty, but now he had
arranged that a small bit of busl-
ness shonld keep him in Poultney
all day, for he argued:
"The boys will do it easier than
1 could, and I shall be thankful to
have it over with"
John Bardwell knew that a
command from his father was not
to be trifed with, so after the
chores were done he brought
out his gun, saying, eff we must
do this thing, we must I suppose,
and the sooner the better. Come
on, Joseph" !"
Joseph followed his brother to
the barn without a word, but
when he came to Old Jim's stall
and heard his familiar whinny, it
was all he could do to keep from
crying, big twelve year-old boy
that he was.
The spot selected for the tragic
scene was a heralock grove about
two miles from the farmhouse
chosen because Mrs. Bardwell had
said, eff hear that gun go off, ii
will kill me !" So John and Joseph
and Old Jim plodded across the
desolate fields toward this remote
corner of the farm.
The brothers were never boys Of
many words, and now they were
silent till they reached the edge
of the little wood.
There John, who had been stalk
ing ahead, paused irressolute. HI
took an apple from his pocket, ant
let the horse eat it from his hand
Then he buried his face for {
moment in the gray name.
You must do it, Joe-I can't,
he said at last, holding out tn
gun.
"oh, Johnl No, mol" PLEADED
the younger boy, with a SOD IN nj
voice.
"Well, somebody's got to, an'
/ sha'n't! So go ahead. You cal
shoot as well as 1. Only be qulcl
and sure about it; that's ALL"
Joseph was naturally a timi'
boy, never asserting his indepen
dence, as John often did, an'
without another word of remon
stranee he tnrned down the woo'
path, his arm around Old jim
neck.
John threw himself on tn
ground and waited. 1t seemed
long time, and then the soun'
came that he was dreading to hear
the sharp report of his gun. With
