Reading For Children.

The wise mother will teach her chil- dren without their suspecting that they are learning lessons The charm of "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Bears" may be equaled by true stories of the wonders that lie all about us. These have revealed themselves to many patient, sympathetic observers who have recorded their observations for our benefit, so that we have only to profit by their labors. The fairyland of science has domains as fascinating as anything in the extensive realms of fiction. Why not make the children free of it? Tell them of the habits of birds and plants and animals; of the wonder full snow crystals and the black dis monds of the coal It is not difficult tc begin; it is only difficult to know where to stop. The supply of subjects is mex haustible.
 AS we watch the development of the active, intelligent minds, we feel the im- portance of supplying them with food that shall nourish as well as amuse them. It seems pity that the retentive memo ries, on which it is now so>easy to make an indelible impression, should not have imprinted upon them facts of real in- terest and value. These may be told at first in the simplest language and illus trated by reference to familiar things Children are full of curiosity; all their surroundings are new and strange. They are constantly asking questions and in- quiring into the reason of everything that strikes them as being unusual. They should receive intelligent answers, explanations that will satisfy them as far as possible when the subject isreally beyond their grasp.
 Nothing is more exasperating to the inquiring mind than to be told, "You cannot understand that now; you must wait until you are older" or given one of the other time honored excuses that serve to conceal the ignorance of the elders.-Ladies' Home Journal

It cannot be said that the administra.

It cannot be said that the administra- tion of justice in Illinois is always monotonous. During recent trial before justice, counsel took exceptions to ruling of the court in regard to the admission of evidence, and became so violent in his language that the justice pounded him on the head with law book, thus forcibly citing the authorities on which he based his decision. The learned counsel then seized an inkstapd and hurled it at the head of "his Honor, who easily dodged the missile which landed full on the stomach of an in offending boy, who bears the euphoni- ons name of Alva Holycross. At this interesting stage of the proceedings the curtain falls.

The Remarkable Freak of Horse

The Remarkable Freak of Horse
Formerly Very S;aid.
Captain Samuel Urann, of Sullivan,
Maine, once had a darl-colored horse
renowned for his horsey virtues and
steady habits. 1t so happened that at
one March meeting" the Democrats
carried the town for the frst time in
twenty years. Up to the time of that
election Captain Sans horse had
never been known to shy, balk, run
away, or do any act unworthy of
model horse. Three days after the
election town business in a remote
quarter of the town required the at
tention of one of the selectmen.
He invited his wife to accompany
him, and hired Captain Sans horse to
make the trip. They reached their
destination in safety, the business was
satisfactorily adjusted, and they
started homeward. Captain Sam was
q stanch Republican, and it is sup
posed that the horse was a Republican,
too. At any rate, without seeming
cause, the horse ran away at break
neck pace with the official and his
wife Our Democratic friend held on
so hard that he broke one of the reins,
and, after time, with the remaining
rein, sheered the horse out against the
fence and stopped him Nobody was
hurt. and it was the horses first, last,
and only exhibition of bad behavior.

A Boys Interpret 'tion of the Text He
Had Heard.
Ted's grandmother was a martyr to
dyspepsia and patent medicine. She
was great church member and took
Ted to service every Sunday.
One evening the minister called and
asked to see Ted.
''You know who this is, don't you,
Teddy?" grandma said sweetly.
''Oh, yes, it's the man who talks all
the time in church, Ted said.
"And do you remember any of the
things l say?" the minister asked.
Ted thought moment, then drew
himself up and said in deep voice:
"Get thee behind me, Satanr'
"And what does that mean?" the
minister asked
Again Ted was silent for a moment,
then said:
"When gwanma gets up full of
'pepsy, en- scolds me for maxim er
noise when / amt maxim any, en-
scolds Sal fur turnin' thur bread when
she don't burn it, en- scolds mamma
and papa, and says she wishes she was
dead, she oughter say, Get thee be-
hind me, Satanr"
Everybody laughed except grand
ma and papa told Ted he could go and
buy some candy.
