The Little Fellows Answer.

The story of the rich mans selling all
he had and giving unto the poor was the
subject of discussion in a certain Sunday
school class not long ago. The teacher
was illustrating the moral that the les
son conveys. One of her most attentive
listeners was little fellow scarcely 6
years old, but as bright as dollar, and
with tongue that uses the queens Eng
fish in a manner that would make that
motherly old soul squirm if she heard it.
Now, "said the teacher very impressive
ly, IF man is fortunate enough to
make $1,c00,C0C in the course of his life,
it is his duty to give half of it at least to
the poor" Eyes" interrupted a prim
little girl in one corner, "but how many
men make 100000 in the course of
their livesy' There was silence for a
moment, when the little fellow chirped
in the caustic answer, "Darn few

Not q Lawbreaker.

It was in the public garden. Two
pretty little boys were running upon the
edge of big flower bed and Jumping
off, only to run up and jump off again,
while nursemaid smiled at them en-
couragingly from bench under tree
near by. After they had made the bank
like border very ragged, several of the
gardeners came by, and one of them
stopped to reprove the children. "See
here, stop that" said the man. "Go over
there and play under the tree"
"Why, we mustn't play there" said
one of the little boys with dignity.
Cant you see that sign there to keep
off the grassY' And, entirely satisfied
with his own Difference of law and or
der, he went on jumping on the flower
bed as soon as the gardener had passed
out of sight.-Boston Transcript.

Puzzled over a Word.

knew an old lady once who was great
ly puzzled about the word "ridama-
daisy" Often she told me when she was
little girl in Ireland her mother would
say to her, "Come, now, get your slate
and ridamadaisy and be off to school,"
"Now," she would say, ~ can under
stand why you call child's lesson book
a primer or preparatory or even a
chart, but l never could understand
why our book should be called 'ridama-
daisy"
The daughterh had often heard the moth
or so express herself and had often won
dered at the strange word as applied to
lesson book, but one day, after hearing
her mother hold forth on the subject, the
daughter said:
Mother, don't you think you mean a
reading made easy?" The old lady
studied awhile and at last said: "Well,
l don't know but what you are right, but
can hardly believe that after studying
and puzzling 80 long and never being
able to find meaning or solution for
that strange name, 'ridamadaisy, that
it was so simple after all. Yet reading
made easy must be the proper word, but
what made you think of it?" "Why,"
said the daughter, who was a school
teacher, "a little boy came to me today
and asked me for new pray paddy
book and 1t took me some time to find
out his pray paddy book was prepara-
tory lesson book, and thought some
easy solution could be found for your
absurd 'ridamadaisy book and at once
I thought of reading made easy

peoria ana maawou streets.

1t is an outrage ON the American nation
and not TO be borne II the pagans mis-
treat our missionaries In Turkey and
China. By all means lot congress take
II up and make war IL necessary, so that
only our missionaries be avenged and
our national honor satisfied.
But meantime. how about the corner
of Peoria and Madison streets, Chicagos
A woman evangelist, Mrs. Rice, de-
voted and eloquent Christian lady. has
been trying to hold open air meetings
there. She said nothing incendiary,
nothing unlawful. She was only preach
ing the sweet, thrilling old gospel,
bringing the good tidings of Christianity
to those who chose to listen. Two thou
sand people gathered about.
This is what happened, according to
report of the Chicago Tribune:
when certain tough characters could be seen
moving to the center Of the crowd, whore Mrs,
Rice was standing. At first they contented
themselves by jeering her remarks and using
the most obscene and profane language. Then
some one In the crowd threw stick or stone
which struck the woman In the back, and tho
next moment there was perfect shower Of
decayed fruit, sticks and stones.
Mrs. Rice asked that tho collection be taken.
While this was being done the crowd quieted
down, but 20 sooner was 1t finished and the
money handed to the preacher than some ono
in the crowd shouted, "We want that osllec-
tiOn."
As II the roughs and toughs had been walt
ing for signal simultaneous rush was made
from all Sides of the chair upon which Mrs.
Rice was standing.
Realizing that further attempt to conduct
the religious services would be impossible, Mrs
Rice sought to dismiss the meeting and asked
the crowd to Join In singing the doxology. The
tough element present tried to drown the good
old tune BY singing ribald songs at tho top of
their voices. They realized that the services
were about to CLOSE and that their fun" was
over. Then they pushed forward unt1 they
crowded her from her position on small box.
The defenseless woman was knocked down
and kicked while lying on the ground. She
was badly bruised and seriously injured. She
was carried to q store on the corner and med
ical assistance summoned. No arrests were
made, as the persons who were directly re-
sponsible for the outrage could not be appre-

This Is a Georgia Story.

At Waynesboro, just before a recent
hanging, two young fellows went out to
inspect the gallows and satisfy their curl
osity.
Arrived on the spot, one Of them ex-
pressed desire to see how the thing
workedx
"Put Your head in the moose, I" said the
other, land I'll show you"
For the novelty of the thing his COM
panion suited the action to the word,
when--"click" and down shot the trap!
The moose was not in position, how
ever, and slipped off the head of tie
frightened fellow just in time to save
him from being jerked out of the world.
Neither of those adventurous young
men has any further desire to test the
efficacy of the sheriff's preparations for
dispatching people from this world to
the next.-Atlanta Constitution.

It is terrible to have the Victoria dis
aster investigation develop the fact that
the great ship went down SO speedily
because the bulkhead doors between
her water tight compartments were open
and remained so constantly whether the
vessel was at sea or on shore. So the
hundreds of brave men met their deaths
through carelessness. The water rushed
into one open compartment after an
other till all were full, and the Victoria
sank Immediately.

Respect For a Mosher.ih.law.


A lady not long since received lesson
on the subject of proper feeling for her
mother-in-law which will last her long
time. Her husbands family were very
affectionate toward one another-loved
one another with even more than the or
binary devotion of close kindred. 1t may
or may not be to the point to mention
that they also liked great wakes, we'd
dings and christenings
The husbands mother died in course
Of time at good old age. He and his
wife had saved a little money against
the contingency Of his being without
work in cold weather, when the hod car
rying business is dull. In his big gust of
grief over the sad event, the husband re-
solved to spend every cent Of that money
in giving his departed maternal relative
a grand funeral. Nothing was too good
for her. Food for his wife and baby,
keeping the wolf from the door in cold
weather, when members Of his profess
sion were mostly on their uppers, was as
nothing. A great funeral and an ele-
giant wake the old lady must have. His
brothers and sisters were richer than he
and needed no help from him In interring
the good dame In proper, even fashions
BILE, style. But mol The affectionate
son whose profession was not prosperous
In cold weather would have none Of that.
He would never feel that he had done
his duty by the old lady unless he put
that $25 into grand wake.
Unfortunately at this point there was
difference Of opinion between him and
his wife. She ventured TO hint that she
and the baby needed the money more
than his mother did. especially as the
old lady's other children were quite able
and willing to provide wake that would
drown the sorrows of the most afflicted
and bereft family in the state. He in
dignantly repudiated the idea and re-
preached her with cold heartedness and
want Of feeling for her departed mother
in-law. But she insisted, unfortunately
for her own sake.
Then the grief stricken son fell upon
her and gave her such beating that she
did not get over it in two weeks. 'Tll
teach you," said he as he mauled her
black and blue, ''to show disrespect to
my mother, and she dead and in her cot
fin and looking to all her children to
give her an elegant wake. Next time
your mother-in-law dies you'll know how
to have proper feeling for her."

One reason why the Russian caro-
WITT can never marry the Princess Vic
toria Of Wales, with whose name the
gossips have connected his, is that they
are first cousins, and the marriage Of
first cousins is strictly prohibited by the
canons of the Greek church. The heir
of the emperor of all the Russias could
not possibly ignore these laws II he de-
sired to do SO. The young prince was at
one time, it is said, deeply In love with
the daughter of the Greek king, and it
was only these same obnoxious laws that
prevented their marriage.-New York
