w hat Home Is.

A London paper offered a prize for
the best definition of a home About
FIVE thousand answers were given. Some
of the best were the following:
The blossom of which Heaven is the
fruit.
A world of strife shut out, a world Of
love shut in
Where you are treated best and grum
bic most.
The fathers kingdom, the children's
paradise, tho mothers world.
The place where the great are some
times small and the small often great
The jewel cssket containing the most
precious of all jewels--domestic happi-
ness.
The contest, kindest, sweetest place
in all the world, tho essence Of our
purest earthly joys and deepest sorrows.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of fallen humanity are
hidden under the mantle Of charity.
A little hollow scooped out of the
windy hill Of the world where we can
be shielded from its cares and annoy
ances.
A hive in which, like the industrious
bee, youth gamers the sweets and memo
res Of life for age to mediate and feed
upon.
An abode in which the inmate, tho
"superior being called man" can pay
back Mt night, with so per cent. interest,
every annoyance that has met him in
business during the day.
That source of comfort which youth
does not fully appreciate, which the
young man and maidens lovingly de-
sire, which the middle.aged generally
possess, which the old rightly value.

A TICK ON THE WALL.

hotel stove one night, 81 was for about
five years telegraph operator, and it
was the making of my fortune. When

with lot of other operators to handle
the tickers for new line they we're
building there.
CATER had been working there
about month we had big sensation
in the shape of the abduction of an Eng
lishman who owned one of the biggest
mines in the mountains, and he was
held for ransom. The brigauds wanted
$780, 600 for him, and the authorities
did all they could to catch the band or
rescue the prisoner, but without avail.
They couldn't find hide nor hair of rob-
Der or Englishman, but the demand for
ransom still stood. I'd been along down
the line for u week, and when | came
back to my town | never saw man in
such pitinble state of grief over any
piece of deviltry as that landlord was.

still plugging away. Just before day
break heard it again and made up my
mind to make little investigation in
the morning and see what manner Of
insect 'deathwatch' was anyhow. At
7 o'clock a knock on my door Weakened
me for breakfast, and at first | thought
the deathwatch must have changed his
base of operations, but when | had my
eyes fully opened | answered the knock
and heard the caller patter along down
the hall to another door. AS | lay in
bed enjoying for moment or two the
pain of having to get up, heard my
deathwatch again, this time in the wall
near my head, and began to listen
/" Tick, tick, it went, then several
ticks, but ! could not see any sign OF

at first, but in moment or two as be-
