HIS SWEET REVENGE.
Kicked Out When Boy, He Lived to Re
pay the Offender.

Kicked Out When Boy, He Lived to Re
pay the Offender.
A story with moral is told me by
friend from Bloomington, Ind. That
pretty little university town numbers
among its notabilities not only the col
lege professors, but another professor
also, whose accomplishment lies not in
the direction of human education.
mean genial Henry Gentry, known
wherever there are little and big chill
dren, who like to see his performing dogs
and ponies. Professor Gentry was very
poor boy. which was no dishonor, but
still much against him in the race of
life. During the last few years he has
made a fortune. l am afraid to say how
much, but it must be up in the hundred
thousands. Ten years ago he was still
struggling to make living for himself
and his parents, and very often it was
hard enough. And thereby hangs my
tale.
Every one knows how difficult it was
for business men to keep heads above
water during the hard times and what
serious matter it was to obtain money,
but Gentry had plenty of it all through
and is said to have helped moro than
one man over the stepping stones.
One day very prominent business
man of his own was caught short and
needed So, 900 to see him through. He
had property and values, but no money.
He went to the bank and asked for a
loan, but was suavely told that the bank
had 1t not Just as the conversation
was going on Henry Gentry happened
to pass the bank, and the banker remark
ed, "Theres only one man in town who
has that much cash, and maybe he'll
lend it to you. He pointed to Gentry.
The business man took the hint, step
pod out Of the bank, caught up with
Gentry, and after q very complimentary
talk ON his success preached his request.
Gentry turned full Hpon him and re-
piled: "Oh, yes, / have SIS, 900; moro
too, but do you remember barefoot lad
who came into your store at one time
trying to buy pair of shoes ON trust?
Do you remember how you kicked him
almost out of your store? Well, / was
that boy. No, you can't have no money
from mel" Maybe it was not very
Christian, but it must have been awful
ly sweet revenge. -Louisville Courier
Journal.

AN ACCOMMODATING DRIVER.

He Was Also Superintendent, So He Could
Do as He Pleased.
"They have delightful way of being
accommodating in some parts of the
south, said gentleman who had trav-
eled considerably in that section. "Of
course it wouldn't do anywhere else in
the world, but the way those people for
get all about time is absolutely refresh
ing.
II was down south once and had ocoa-
sion not to patronize but to be patronized
by little street car line running from
L. to II junction. The length
of the line is half mile and it's equip
ment two cars, each with single mule
attachment The official roster is con-
densed to the name of single gentle
man wearing suit of Confederate gray,
who fills every position on the line from
superintendent to driver with perfect
satisfaction to his patrons, and must
say with seeming satisfaction to himself.
In his capacity of driver he was told
that 1 would like to go down to the
junction at certain time.
''In his capacity as superintendent
was introduced to him, and assuming
the authority of his highest position he
advised me that he would wait for me
near a certain corner. / was watching
for him, and about 0 minutes before the
appointed time the car stopped on the
corner designated. The driver set the
brake but it was the big hearted super
intendent who got down to play with
the children by the roadside until l
should arrive. He greeted me cordially,
and we started, with the mule in can
ter.
"a man hailed the car from house
little farther ON, and we came to a stop.
There was short conversation i'll loud
tones. Then the driver carefully wound
the lines around the brake and went in
to the house. In about five minutes he
reappeared, with trunk on his shout
der, having probably stopped to tie a
rope around it inside the house. This
trunk he deposited ON the front plat
form, and we were again going as fast
as the mule could travel.
Arrived at the junction, tho driver
was again transformed to the superin
tendent as he shook hands with me and
babe me goodby. / told him had en-
joyed my trip. immensely, and that he
was the most accommodating man had
ever met in the transportation service.
He promised to call ON me in Chicago,
and I'll be glad to sec him too. Chi

LOVES POWER.

Life may change, but it may fly not.
Hope may vanish, but can die not;
Truth be yelled, but still it burneth;
Love repulsed-but it returneth.
Yet were Life charnel where
Hope lay coffined with Despair;
Yet were Truth sacred lie,
Love were lust-if Liberty
Lent not life its soul of light,
Hope its iris of delight,
Truth its prophets robe to wear,
Love its power to live and bear.

Unique Advertising,

A tale is told of Robert Bonner and
of his belief in advertising. One day he
engaged whole page of newspaper
and repeated two line advertisement
upon it over and over again. 1t must
have been repeated 5000 times upon
the page in the smallest type.
"Why do you waste your money,
Roberto asked friend. IT noticed
that same line so often. Would not half
a page have answered your purpose?"
Half page would never have
caused you to ask the question, replied
Mr.. Bonner. "At least five people will
ask that to every line, was the way
figured it. New York News.

HER LITTLE FLOWER.
And She Sank to Rest Clutching the Tiny
Treasure to Her Breast.


Treasure to Her Breast.
She found the tiny, tender plant
when first it showed its trembling head
above the travel worn slabs Of granite
that paved the narrow alleyway which
was her only playground. She gave
cry of delight when she saw the deli
cate shoot peeping out from between
the cold gray stones, and from that mo-
ment it filled a part of her life that
heretofore had been empty. She nour-
ished 1t with water and jealousy guard
ed it from the onslaught Of roaming
boys and the too near approach of cart
wheels that came orunching through
the alley, and often did her violet eyes
tremble with suppressed tears as she
saw the ponderous wheels rolling so
close to her treasure.
Under her care and watchful atten-
ton it steadily grew, and when delicate
leaves unfolded themselves and disclos-
ed to her delighted eyes blossom OF
sweetness her happiness was complete,
and she sank beside it and Toasted her
vision on loveliness she had never seen
before.
One day she did not come at her
usual hour to moisten the thirsty plant,
and it would doubtless have persisted
but for gentle shower that came to
kiss the dropping head. The next day
she did not come and the lonely plant
got its only help from the leaking Of a
passing water cart Far lin one of the
CHI lax
painting for breath. Her once rosy
cheeks were now pale and white, and
the soft blue eyes shone with spar
king glow. Her head tossed restlessly
from side to side, and means of pain
crept from tho drawn lips.
Occasional words broke from her, but
Of such an incoherent nature that none
understood her until a. boy came softly
into the room and gazed at the suffering
face curiously. "She wants her flower, "
he said as she moaned again, and like q
flash he sped from the room, to return
in few moments bearing an almost
withered plant in his hand. AS he held
1t aloft the lustrous eyes saw it, and two
tiny wasted hands arose from the cover
and were outsretched to receive her
treasure. She lifted it to her lips an6
rained kisses ON the dust covered bios
som, which seemed to answer her cares
in CLEAN of returning freshness.
She sank to sleep, still clutching thu
flower to her bosom, and awoke late,
with calm look of contentment cover
ing her features.
AS the hours wore on she grew weak
er and weaker until, when the shafts o
mornings golden light first found thei
way into the quiet room, they fel
ashanti the cold, still form of littl
girl, at whose cheek nestled faded AM
withered flower, mingling itself in TIN
faint smile that fingered yet around tn
perfect mouth. Atlanta Constitution.
