BoyhoOd of q Great Man.

When mere boy the late Justice La
mar was apparently SO dull that his
mother was in despair of his ever be-
coming anything at school. A rela-

took young Lucius in hand and cate
chised him as follows: Cant learn
Latin, eh?" mo. sir" Cor Greek?,'
mo, sir" ''Or mathematics" ''No,
sir" What do you do in your debat-

melody.
His one weapon of defense was ire
sistible: and whether he trilled like the
birds of the forest or sang the quain.

him, the village boys were suence>.
when he chose to have it so.
AS soon as skates were strapped, the
river. with its sparkling icy coat. was a
scene to delight the eye.
Suddenly, when the jollifcation
seemed at its height, little Dick, after
p piroutte no other boy dared attempt,
struck out for shore.
whats the matter, Dicll?" where
are you going?" shouted the boys.
Coin home to get a lickin', an

"'Cause nanny said if I went on

"Hurrah for Diek," cried one of the
iolliest of the crowd.
eff you've got hateful old thing to
do, why. do it. I'm going home to split

"There'll be splendid moon tonight,
and I'll be back" he called to those he
left behind.

Tom looked atuhim. THAT miserable

they both laughed rather family. But
they pulled off their skates.

''hard at it, to have it over, like Dicks

Mrs. Danforth, who had often told
her boys to ''have nothing to do with
that low-lived colored boy who brought
home their laundried Clothes" was not
only amazed at the unusal spectacle,
but she herself could not but think of
dreaded duties, and in few minutes
was at the door of bed-ridden woman,
on whom she had said she would never
call except for decency's sake.
The visit so soon followed previous
one, and was so totally unexpected,
that the sometimes neglected old lady
was almost amiable, instead of in her
usual exasperating mood.

THE SANTA FE IN THE sYMNs CASE.

From the Atchison Champion we learn
that the Santa Fe Railroad company has
filed thirty-eight page brief in the
Symns Grocery company case. 1t is in
connection with the Missouri river and
interior jobbers fight, which everyone
is familiar with. 1t was won by plain
tiffs in the district court in Atchison and
appealed by the interior jobbers to the
supreme court, where it will come up in
May. The Santa Fe alleges that the &C
ton of the board of railroad commits
sioEers was conclusive and that the Mis-
souri, river men had no right 70 appeal.
The Champion admits that the action
of the Santa Fe is surprise to the river
people, ''as the interior people tried to
show in their argument that the railroads
were against them" The admitted sur
prise on the part of the river people
shows that they have regarded the rail
roads as with them, and there is nothing
in the Santa Fe's action IN the promises
to convince the interior people to the
contrary.

evidence of the sense Of the people
thereon.

CONFINEMENT,

We know Gods ways are best. and yet
We plan our lives with little thought
About Ills will concerning US,
Until our plannings come to naught-
'Tis then in discomfort we pine
Till later on we come to know
Gods plans were better far than ours;
Believe me, have found it SO!
We think to grasp some treasure rare.
Or quaff the cup of JOY complete;
But find the baubles. nothing worth,
And bitterness instead of sweet;
For God this lesson hath prepared,
That He alone can JOY bestow.
The sooner learned, the happier We;
Believe me, have found it SO!
Contentment is a smooth. safe road,
From which our feet should never stray;
Whate'er betide we're still assured
OF walking in Gods chosen way.
And if He gives. or doth withhold.
Still trusting as we onward go;
For To- His ways are always best;
Believe me, l have found it SO!
Aimed E. WIGHT.

Whatever may be said in criticism of
Secretary Carlisle and his financial pol
icy, it cannot be said that he favcrs the
fiat idea. He rather subjects himself to
the charge of being in sympathy with
the monometalists in declining to ex-
change paper currency for gold. How
ever, he probably thinks, in view of the
abundance of both kinds of money in
the country, that there is nothing to be
gained in swapping dollars.
