A Story of millionaire Lick,

James Lick, of San Francisco, was an
unlovable millionaire, of whom curious
story is told. When a poor youth in
Pennsylvania he was rejected by the
daughter of q wealthy miller on account
of his poverty. He vowed at that time
that he would some day build a mill
that would far surpass that of his sweet
hearts father. Many years later he
kept his VOW and constructed at San
Jose o mill of highly polished California
wood valued at 100000. During his
lifetime Mr.. Lick had few friends and
apparently cared for none. He lived
plainly and was seen very little in pub
lie. The larger part of his fortune was
left to charities and public institutions,
one notable bequeSt being the sum of
100000 for the erection of a statue to
Key, the author of the ''Star Spangled
Banner"
While many institutions profted by
Mr.. Lick's posthumous gifts, his most
famous achievement was the establish
ment of the Lick observatory on Mount
Hamilton, under the management of the
University of California. Mr.. 'Lick's
body was placed in 1887 under the base
of the pier sustaining the great telescope.

Hunting Zebras,

After crossing the usual heated yell
low plains, looking for all the world like
an expanse of overparcheds hayfelds and
dotted here and there with droves of
springbok, we outspanned two and so
rode back again across the hot, weary
plain for camp. We had not long quit
ted the forest before we sighted good
troop of Burchelrs zebra, feeding quiet
ly. We spread out in line and rode up
to them.
The troop, which consisted mostly of
mares with a yearling foal or two, was
guarded by an old stallion, who stood
sentinel nearest to us with his head ~,
Presently, turning half round, he CAV
some sort of signal and the rest Of IT,
band galloped briskly off, curvetin
and capering as they ran. After moving
few hundred yards the troop suddenl!
wheeled round in line to have a good
look at us again.
These tactics of the zebras were dis
played in retreat of some miles, the OLD
stallion always covering the rear, until
the troop, outhanked by Dove, shot off
to the right and my chance came. gal
Hoped hard to intercept them, and as
they stood for a minute on seeing me in
the line of fight, got steady shot at
200 yards. The bullet clapped as if on a
barn door, and as the troop continued
their flight saw one zebra turn away
alone. Presently she stood again.
was soon within sixty yards, and with
another bullet finished her She Droyed

A Problem.

Once there were two tramps who were
actually looking for work. In the course
OF their wapderingg they came upon a
pile of coal in front Of d palatial resi-
dence.
Said the tramp with the inferior intel.
lect, "Let us engage ourselves to stow
away this fuel at price of twenty-five
cents" "Nay, nay" said the tramp of
superior intellect: "let me go within and
negotiate"
And he did negotiate and secured the
job at a rate of fifty cents, of which sum
he gave cne-half to his companion to
perform the necessary manual labor, re-
serving one-half unto himself for super
intending operations.
Whereat he of the inferior business
ability, though he had received twice
the amount of work he expected and at
his own rate of compensation, lifted up
his voice in wrath and swore by various
deities that he had been bunkoed.
Was he right?-Indianapolis Journal

Welcome Rain,

rushed outside and fell on his knees

The y..,ua Of T;.,neI.t.

1t Is hardly necessary To say that all
men need to 'swing" the moral compass
from time to time and to take their
bearings in the sea of life. The advice
is as true as it is conventional. Upon
the use of thinking for such purposes
we shall not, then, dwell. Wemay, how
ever, point out, as n EleaaS Of stTe 9Th
ening and inyigorating the mini i'll a
secular and worldly sense. the habit Of
thinking is of the greatest possible yalue.
The minds of those who dread think
ing, as if it were a penance, become like
the bodies OF those fed solely on spoon
meat--soft and unable to stand the
slightest strain. Reading, as one Or
dinarily reads, is like swallowing pap;
thinking, like eating solid food. The
man who trains his mental powers by
meditation and by following outlines of
thought obtains an intellectual instru-
ment hundred times more powerful
than he who is content never to think
seriously and consecutively. London

Now the calamity howlers say pork
is high but the farmers have none to
sell. The fact that pork is scarce is,
of course, the reason why it is high;
but if the farmers of Minnesota had
attended the institutes and taken the
advice of Theodore Louis, says the
Northwestern Agricultural, they
world have had pork in plenty, and
could have realized more for this

bans than by sending it to market to

a time for years when the farmers of
Minnesota could not have made
money by growing hogs, and of late

THE RIGHT TO THE ROAD.

Like dreams the changing years have fed
Into the realm of the silent dead
Since seventeen seventy-five, and June
Made bridal dance to the rivers tune.
And then, as now, on the worlds broad face
The loyeliest green clad, leaf crowned space
Was the old West road to the ferrying place.
Here Jonathan Parsons, man OF peace,
On cart heaped high with the earth's In
crease,
Through woodland sweet with the towering
thorn,
Came riding up from his fields of corn.
General Washington's coach of state,
Bound for Cambridge, had reached the lane;
In it the general, grave, sedate,
Sat planning the course of great campaign,
For q terrible struggle possessed the land,
And the fate of a nation was in his hand!
Riding before camehorsemen twain;
If the truth be told they were young and vain:
They reached at length, in the narrow road,
The farmer, perched on his fragrant load.
Lazy bones, haste! You are all too slow;
How can we pass, we should like to know
General Washington rides this wayl
Turn out, turn out for the coachI' cried they
But Parsons doubted the couriers word
The soldier hero?-'twas quite absurd!
He was still in congress the last he heardl1 S.
He turned - looked back through the vista
green;
No sign of the uncrowned king was seen.
These were playful youths, it was very plaini
He would meet their sport with a calm disdainl
And his right to the road to the end maintain,
A droll procession in truth they made
That summer day in tho green arched gladel
frowsy colt was the first in view.
Vanguard of the rustic's retinue!
white mare next, then oxen four
c"Five cattle team" the name it boreG
Then the peasant prince, who crown would
scorn, ~
High on his throne of fresh cut corn;
The baffied horsemen behind him came,
And last of all rode the one whose name
Was yet to conquer the pride of kings,
Whose truth and courage the world yet singsl
Still unmindful of rank so near,
Parsons the order refused to hear,
When, nearing the ferry where all must walt
MAKE way, make way for the coach of stateW
Again they cried in stern command;
He plodded on till, whip in hand,
He calmly got down at the rivers brink
To let the mare and the oxen drink!
He turned-and then, for the first time saw
The strong right arm of the colonies lawl
A freeman true, he had dared to stand,
And the right to the kings highway demand
In the face of the greatest in all the land!
He speeches. stood, and his brown face paled,
While the scouts to their chief the affair de-
tailed.
He was right!' was Washington's wise reply;
He's as good a right to the road as II"

sleight of Hand Poisoning.

A very curious item in Psychological
lore / CHANGED to light upon may be
called the feat of poisoning by sleight OF
hand. You were jealous of a lady and
you wished to kill her. Well, you asked
her to lunch, and you caused very nice
peach to be served at dessert. You cut
the fruit with golden knife, one side
of the blade of which was endued with
a deadly poison. You presented the
poisoned half of the peach to the lady,
who ate it with much relish and then
dropped down dead.
The wholesome half you ate yourself,
and laughed in your sleeve, and went
on slicing more peaches for the ladies of
whom you were jealous-till you were
found out and broken on the wheel. Aye,
there's the rub! What high old times
we might have, to be sure, but for that
plaguey contingency of being found out.
