Not Easily Phased.

At one of the uptown grammar
schools a mathematical progidy
turned up the other day, to the sur
prise and establishment of the peri
patetic problem proposer, who for
once was tripped up by an unsophis-
ticated youth.
The gentleman in question call
ed at the school and asked permis-
sion to interrogate the brightest
boy in arithmetic, and upon John
being called to the recitation bench
with a huge double slate and q
brand-new soapstone pencil ready
for the fray, the visitor launched the
following knotty problem for solu-
ton, which has done service 50 long
"There is a well one hundred
feet deep, into which cat has fall
Ell, and every time the cat climbs
up two feet it falls back four feet
how long will it take before the
animal is rescued from the we'll
Do you think you can solve Thu
problem, John?" asked the inter
locutor, with a wonderfully wis,
look.
"Oh, yes, sir; l can figure tina
cat out Of that well sure"
So right to work he went and il
a few minutes had all sides Of hi
slate covered with figures. A sec
ond slate was furnished, and tina
was soon filled up with computa
tions.
With sarcastic look the visito
said: John, you might as wei
give up this contest for the solution

"Oh, no, sir" exclaimed the boy

way of China"

George Randolf could say no
more, although he insisted on visit
ing the panther's den to see for
himself. "Some folks are lucky"
he admitted reluctantly. IF that
mine is worth 100000 you can
have her, for a Randolf never goes
back on his word"
That was only year ago, and
the mine has already Melted its
owner over 100000. But he re-

THE HIDDEN GOLD.

Among the residents or the large
town in the far west there
lives George Randolf, a mining king,
who by nature is as stern and arbi-
trary as men are apt to be when
they acquire sudden riches. In ad-
dition to his gold, he possessed a
rare treasure in the person of his
daughter Bessie, as sweet seven
teen-year-old maiden as ever lived.
Pretty Bessie did not lack for
lovers, and quite as naturally the
favored one was the very one her
father objected to. Clyde Brown
was frank-spoken, with an honest,
manly face, a true, loving heart,
and little else.
"Why, Elizabeth'-her father
always called her that when dis
pleased-"how can you forget that
we are descended from the Randolfs
of Virginia? Just little longer,
daughter-a year or two at the
most-and we will 60 east and live
as other people do. Then my jew
ell may find worthy setting"
II want no one but Clyde, papa,
protested Bessie, tearfully. But
tears made no impression upon the
hard heart of George Randolf.
However, he condescended to give
conditional consent to their union
such an absurd condition that
everybody laughed and shook theil
heads and Bessie's merry face grew
grave.
"When you can show the pos
session of 100000 you can have
her." he said grimly, in answer tt
Clyde Browns manly petition

Bessie, when they stood alone in thu

watched angerly from the window
"Fortunes are wonderfully mad

Don't be discouraged, my prec
ious Queen Bess," Clyde returned
with all lovers unreasoning fond
ness. "Only trust in me through
all and wait for me, no matter wha
may happen. Will you promise M
that?"
"Indeed | will, dearest! Yo1

THE HOUSE ACROSS THE WAY.

HE HOUSE ACROSS The WAY
The house across the way Is built
In latest modern style;
You wouldn't ind another one
SO grand within mile;
Its plate-glass windows, frescoed walls,
And decorations fine,
Have made me often wish that such
A dwelling-place were mine.
For mines a very humble home,
Indeed, compared with that;
More plain and unpretending
Than well-appointed fat;
With architecture that's devoid
OF beauty or Of grace,
And not single window draped
With rich or costly lace.
There's nothing in my parlor
That's too good for daily use;
No great display Of knickkpacks,
Or Of ornaments profuse;
But around the center-table,
In the evening. one by one
We gather and make merry,
And there is no end Of fun.
When sitting by my window,
In thoughtful mood, one day,
CHANGED to make study
OF the house across the way,
And drew some sharp comparisons
Iwonder who has not
Between my wealthy neighbors
And my own less favored lot.
But, while I unused, 1t struck me
That no young or pretty face
Had looked out on the street,
Through folds Of parted lace;
No voice of song or laughter
Had rung out glad and gay;
And children went not out nor In
The house across the way.
And then thought Of treasures
That my humble home possessed,
With the love Of little children
How my heart was cheered and blest,
And envied not my neighbors
Nor their equipages gay,
Nor would exchange my own dear home
For the houae across the Way.
