Colonel James had dictated to her a political speech which he was about to deliver. He referred to certain individual and said of him, He knows no more about politics than Nicodemus did about the second birth"

A Youngsler.s onIol. RepIr.

In one of the liindergartens the teacher was endeayoring to familiariza the chil- dren with tho words "cold" and hot at sight without spelling them by letters. When she asked them what they would get if they went out of doors in winter without their coats and pointed at the word, they caught the cue at once and answered 'cold" instantly, but "hot" proved puzzler for a moment
 "Now, Mary" said the teacher to the little girl in the end seat, suppose that you were standing right close up in front of great big fire, just flaming and far ing and burning and blazing gaway-what would you gety

War Against ,he Grp,r Moth.

An appeal is made by the state board of agriculture to all citizens, and espe- cially farmers, fruit growers and horti- culturists, in the eastern part of Massa, chusetts to lend their aid in the warfare against the gypsy moth this year. The appropriation made by the legislature for the extermination of the moth is not sufficient to admit of making a thorough search over this part of the state; hence this solicitation for assistance. Mir. For bush, who is director of field work under the special committee having this mat ter in hand. writes that thus far the moth has not been seen outside the re- zion where 1t was found in 1891, not withstanding all reports to the contrary --Boston Commonwealth.

The Florist Gives the Young Married Man
 Tender Reminder.
 It was just < little lesson, that was all, but it went right to tho spot He stopped D moment on his way home to look in florists window, and the florist, who saw him, asked him inside to see some thing extra fine.
 You don't buy any more flowers nowg" said the florist
 No" was the response, given good paturedly, though it was brief.
 And it used to be, a year ago or more, that roses and violets and carnations and all sorts were great attraction to you"
 "Yes; had sweetheart then and the man blushed and laughed.
 "You used to take her a flower every time you went to see her, didn't you?" pursued the inquisitive, kindly old for ist.
 "Yes."
 And they didn't cost very much as a rule. did they?"
 "Oh, no, but that didn't make any diff lSithCS ho iltA' I biOuSAN piiSAa A salA anu fragrant; that was enough"
 "Why don't you take them to her now? Did she choose another in your stead?" And the florists voice was sympathetic.
 "Oh, no; married her year ago."
 The florist waited c moment as if thinking.
 And don't you love her nowf' he asked cautiously, as if treading on thin ice.
 "Of course. We are very happy But you know the flower business doesn't go any more"
 ''Did she ever say sof" asked the florist.
 "Well--um-er--no; l can't say that she ever did"
 "Have you ever asked her about itf'
 "No never happened to think of it, Busy, you know, with all sorts of things, so much more practical
 The florist didn't answer. He went to a pot of roses and violets, and taking handful he handed them over to his late customer.
 ''There," he said, "I give them to you in renembranee of old times. You might take them to your wife, and if she doesn't like them you can bring them back to me-"

John Railey, who lives about four miles from Trimble, Tenn, is one of the happiest men in the county. The cause was the receipt by express of $0sSi not n cent of which he expected to receive.

The following morning be- fore departing they rode. up to RaileS's, all but one, who was walking. The man on foot went to the barn and led but the finest horse there. Railey expostr lated in vain.

 It was one of those frosty, nippy morn ings when the pavements were icy and winds piercing. A small, plump damsel (by profession a schoolteacher). with rosy cheeks, might have been seen tripping along tho slippery sidewalks of Ken wood. It was very early, not yet 8 o'clock, and the little schoolmarm hur- ried, followed by a middle aged man who had got off the car obviously to fol low her.
 'It's very slippery, isn't its" he puffed ss he overlook her.
 The young woman's eyes flashed, but che only gave little tug at her scrap Of dotted face veil, thrust her hands de. ter,ninedly into her huff and sped on.
 A calling card, one of her own, was sticking out of her little jacket pocket, with only the first two words, Miss Elizabeth" just visible and the last name obscmed.
 The stout man saw it.

 "I want to know why am target far every insolent man in town this morn ing, " she snapped as she glanced through the door and saw the short, stout man patrolling the sidewalk and evidently still intent on pursuit. The drug clerk subsided, the car came, and on she got, with the man at her heels, He sat down beside her, When she arrived at her sCyeet corner, he arose and followed her out of the car She had almost reached hez school and was getting brave.

Good words For ap oId rylena.

Our venerable and gentle contempo- rary, the Philadelphia Ledger, celebrates it's new office.as friendly organ of the administration by discarding the priini- tive blanket form in which it has been known and loved so long in Philadelphia and the rest of the world and comes forth in new and seemly modern gar ment, a 2O-page paper, with illustrations and all the other improvements of jour nalism up to date. We dare say there will be murmurs along the Schuylkill, for this old friends face has seemed to the praisers of past time, which is the Philadelphianpre one not to be beau tified by new gauds.
 Yet if The Ledger changes its outward seeming it will not change it's inward spirit. It will still be a reflection of Mir. Childs, kindly and benevolent and placid toward all mankind, conscious of pros perity and virtue, but not puffed up thereby, devoted editorially in the main to the propagation of truths which no- body can deny The same old tree will grow in the northwest corner of the real estate advertisements, the same old house will stand superior to the winds and floods at the northeast corner. Out of the old fields cometh the new corn"
