O Good, Thorogood.

Let us suppose that the President Of the
United States had decided that IT was
the duty OF the Governor OF Illinois, and
nobody else. 10 put down the Chicago
rioters. and that II had been left for him
10 perform that duty. Where now would
be law and order In that State? How
long would the President have been ex-

perform constitutional duty because the
States crank Of q Governor sympathized
with Anarchy? Where, IN the supposed

They would be houseless and homeless, and
subject to the ''pitless peltings' OF the
storm OF fiery Indignation which would
now be sweeping over the country. IL
might almost be said that Governor Ar

United States, who refused to allow him
TO run the government OF Illinois in
the interest OF misrule.

agant admiration of Tommyl And when dinner was over and Chip was happy as he could be Tommy got out his har- monica and played dead marches till Chip was mighty nigh to bustin'," as he himself expressed it.
 In the evening Tommy took Chip to the theater and sat up in the twenty five cent gallery, and they he'd the best time in the world, and wouldn't have changed places with the swell people in the first-hoor boxes, not on any ac- count And when they had gone home and to bed and Chip had snuggled down by his side, Tommy asked:
 "What are you thinking about, Chip, old man?"
 A small, thin arm stole up over Tom my's breast and hugged his shoulder warmly.
 ''I was list offerin' a bet to myself" 1" said Chip, sleepily, that you wasn't nothin' less'n own brother to Santy Claus. Ain't ye?"
 But before Tommy could answer happy little Chip was far af1oat on dreamland's delightful sea and was living over again the pleasures of the day, while in Tommy's heart there crooned a soothing song more sweet and comforting than any millionaire in all the great big city could ever hope to hear.- Kirk La Shelle, in Chicago Mail.

poor old mother and helpless invalid sister in little Wisconsin town. The load had been made infinitely heavier by a sad accident to his mother, which had resulted in a broken limb and which had necessitated nurses and in creased doctors bills and no end of ex- pense during the fall, and Tommy had been obliged to borrow money from a private Shylock in the bank and pay a ruinouslyusuriousi interest per month for the same. He had hadto send home the big end of his small salary, too, each month, and, what between this and the bor- rowed money he had run behind in his board, and was in about as desperate a financial fix as a hard-working, honest and faithful employe ever was. Only the extreme kindliness of the little old lady with whom Tommy boarded in a little old cottage on little by-street on the West side enabled him to keep his head above water at all. But he was one of those stout-hearted fellows of whom the great world rarely hears, and wouldn't let himself get sour or cross.
 When at last he had strengthened everything up and had packed away the bundles of bills. and the bags of gold, and the paper rolls with the silver dollars inside, and had run over in his mind all the good he might do if only a small portion of all this money was his

face glistened with the tears that touches of unexpected kindness always produce in sensitive natures, but the voice made great effort to be as brave and cheery us ever when it replied be tween shivers:
 'I call that-'way up in c, an'- you're a pr-prince O the blood-you arep'
 Put it there," said Tommy, as he stepped under a gas lamp and held his hand to the little great soul by his side. The cool little hand snuggled confident ly in his and the eyes looked back into his own and the bond of intimacy and warm friendship was complete.
 Thereafter Tommy held Chips hand as they tramped along west, and when they reached the side street in which he lived, Tommy lifted the thin little figure in his arms and with Chips hands clasped round his neck walked into the presence of kind old Mrs. Bloomer It was meager fare they had that night, considered from the standard of high flyers, but Tommy was used to 1t and it was simply luxurious to Chip.
 But the next day, after Tommy had chummed with Chip all forenoon and got friendly and learned all about him which wasn't much, he hadn't a friend in the world-and after Mrs. Bloomer had taken him in hand and
Connecticut western news., 1894-12-20

scrubbed him up and fitted him into a back-number jacket and trousers which her own boy had worn years and years ago, before he ran of on a lake schoon- CT and got drowned-then it came din- ner time, and oh, dearl what a feast that dinner was to Chip. There wasn't any turkey, but there was the tenderest and best stewed chicken that ever Mrs. Bloomer had cooked, and the gravy was simply delicious. Then there were nice, warm biscuit to split in half and smother with this gravy; and mashed potatoes and homemade bread and but ter; and to top off with there was the thickest, and juicest, and sweetest ap- pie pie that ever was baked. And Chip had two glasses of real milk.
 And how his big brown eyes sparkled and his pale cheeks brightenedl What a merry little fellow he proved to be, with his quaint sayings and his extrav-

Tommy stopped short, so did the boy.

Tommy stopped short, so did the boy.
 "Hello!" said Tommy, cheerily. "Where did you come fromP"
 Been a-waitin' 1fer ye,p piped the small voice, with equal cheeriness. Fought mebbe you might want 6 errun' run som'ers."
 What's your nafne?" asked Tommy, in an admiring tone, his face beaming.

 Anything else?"
 Mop. Nothin' but Chip Ye see, I'm hustlin' fer myself, an hain't had no time to think up names. A lit tie feller like me don't ketch on very easy, you know"
 Tommy had started on and this last speech had come from the small figure as it trotted along. He looked down and saw the big brown eyes looking up at him. They were beautiful to look into, and the voice was such cheery little voice, without trace of whine in it, that Tommy felt immensely re- freshed.
 ''And what made you pick me outP'' asked Tommy.
 Well, liked your looks, and wy, you own the bank. don't you, an all that money. an ever'thing?"
 Tommy looked down again and laughed. Chip looked up and laughed. It was right jolly to chum along that
Connecticut western news., 1894-12-20

fustered Tommy that he could do noth- ing for moment but stare at the big brown eyes and grow red in the face. Finally he said:
 Why. you see-ahem-it's-it's-"
 And here the watchman came along and, seeing the ragged little owner of the face, hustled him out with some scornful remarks about beggars. As the little fellow disappeared through the door and down the outside steps Tommy saw slight figure tattered and shivering. And then the doors swung shut and Tommy turned to his work, with all of his own troubles crowded out of mind and only sympathy for the poor little waif occupying his thoughts
 He forgot all about the load of obli- gation that was on him and his hope less struggles to extricate himself from the quicksand of debt into which he had foundered in his efforts to care for his

Definite and Specific.

Our resolutions for the new year should be definite and specific. Do not say simply that you will be more lib- eral, but say just how liberal you will be. Do not say that you will be more faithful, but say just what duties, neglected in the past, you will engage to perform in the future. Do not promise that you will give more of your time to the service of the Master, but decide upon the proportion of your time which you will give. A promise may be almost or altogether worthless because of indefniteness. Let us deal honestly and reverently with Him whom we serve. Vow and pay United Presbyterian.

way, and they both felt frst-rate. Then Tommy said:
 Well, don't exactly oten the bank. I've only got an interest in it Say! To-morrow's Christmas! Know that?'
 "Bet dol" said Chip; that's wy I'm hustlin'. Iwant to be in with the other good people. want to eat tur- key"
 "Well, I tell you," said Tommy, "I don't want any errands done, and I don't know of anything I can give you to do, Chip"
 Here the wan little face looked up bravely and the big brown eyes stead jed themselves bit till Tommy had finished.
 But I'll take you home with me, if you like, and you can share my Christ mas dinner with me, whatever it may be. How's that; eh, old man?"
 The big brown eyes in the little pale
