THE FARMERS BOY.

4 compact form Of rugged grace.
Unstudied and uncouth in style.
a clear gray eye m honest face.
A brown tanned cheek and bashful smile.
4 battered hat on firm set head.
Rough garments bearing scars Of wear,
4troog shoes o erweighting . firm tread
This Is the yeoman's sturdy heir
He roams through forest and through field.
With frisking Fido near his side,
The nimble squirrels have to yield,
Their nests the shy birds vainly hide:
He knows just where the big fish keep
And where the rarest wood blooms spring,
Where winter SHOWS are drifted deep
And icy ponds are glisrening.
In summer TIM. at eve an6 morn,
To bring the COWS his ir.iscme task:
He loves to hear the dinner horn,
To battle. and in the sun 10 bas.,:
His youthful heart is filled with pride
When first he drives his fathers team,
And when he learns to mount and ride.
Life seems to him a sunlit dream.
Thus lives he till he finds at length
The farm has labor for its boys,
And, as he grows in age and strength,
More trials ninglc with his joys;
Thus learns he in his plastic youth
The silent lessons OF the soil
The sure rewards Of patience. truth.
The filling happiness Of toll

two miles OF her port bow. Capt.
Jamison, IN Englishman and IN ex-
perisnced sailor. who was on the bridge
1t the time, thought the vessel was q
large yacht and imagined from her
position that she was disabled and
wished to speak him. A moment later
q puff of smoke came from her side
and q shot whistled across his bow.
"What in b is the Id fool try
ing to do?" exclaimed the captain in
amazement- "Does he know that we
carry her Brittanic majesty's mails?'
I'm afraid, sir" said the second Of
ficer, who put his glass down and
looked q little paler than usual, that
she knows what our cargo is"
"A pirate!' CALCULATED the captain.
''1'1l cut her in two" and he impulsive-
ly pulled one of the engineers bells
In another moment the Corinthian
had changed her course point or two
and was heading for the San Pedro.
Both the men were intently regard
ing her through their glasses and the
passengers were crowdlng upon the
deck
To their surprise they saw that the
San Pedro was moving in the same di-
rection as themselves and throwing a
heavy cloud of smoke.
Run, you bloody little scoundrel!"
said the captain.
Scarcely had he got the words out of
his mouth before there was another
puff of smoke-this time from her
stern, and almost Immediately there
came a crash and hundred voices cried
out in alarm and Indignation.
The shot had struck the Corinthian
just abaft the bridge; torn away about
ten feet of her upper works and gone
through the stern taffrail. Three men
were knocked down by the splinters.
Capt Jamison was livid with honest
rage and he stamped his foot and swore
terribly. ''By the God of nations" he
said, ''are we living in the days of Capt.
Kidd, or in the nineteenth century,"
':I'd come to, if were you" said his
mate. "That fellow will hull us pres
emily. We never can catch him."
''Come to-" exclaimed the sturdy
British captain. ''I'll break his back.
Do you think an English steamer goes
down on her marrow bones to every
tramp she meets?"
The vessel was now racing through
the water at an increased speed and
the action of the engines made an
audible throb.
There was intense excitementa among
the passengers, many of whom were
calling up to the captain to stop the
vessel.
He looked over the brass rail of the
bridge at them with indignant con-
tempt. AS he did so, one man pulled
a pistol and shouted: ''Look here, we
don't want to be sent to the bottom on
account of your ID gold. Stop
here where she is. We can defend our
selves at close quarters, but we don't
want to be sunk"

The reader of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and tn t is catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Curei is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing It's work. The prOprietors
have so much faith i'm its curative powers,
that they offer one hundred dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of

ironing tho smaller articles on them,
they will require no further pressing.
A dozen towels may be laid out at once,
and the ironing of each will grow less

HOW TO UTILIZE AN OLD HAT.

If you have Gn cid straw hat, tako
tho trimming OF and dust the straw per-
fectly. Take half cup Of clear coffee
and clean black cloth and wash the
straw, rubbing it vigorously until it
seems to be pretty wet through; then
lay the hat OIL n fiat surface, with a
dark cloth under it and another over
the brim, and with moderately hot
iron press it till it is dry. For the
crown select tin pan or bucket that
is about tho same size as the crown and
press it over that; then put your wire
back in the edge of the rim--if it had
one-and bend the hat III the shape that
you desire to have it.
You can change the shape entirely If
you like. II the crown is too high take
out few rows Of straw close to the
brim, where tho trimming will cover it.
And if the brim is too low for the pres
emit fashion put in few rows of straw
taken from another hat or q piece CT
buckram. 1t will be covered by the
trimming. Then get some good shoe
polish and give the hat three coats Of
the liquid backing, waiting for each to
dry. You will sec your straw look like

hats during the summer. Brush and
apply the polish without removing the

How to Make Plump Cheeks.

Most faces that are thin are apt to be
hollow between the upper and lower
jaws, and two exercises are recommend
ed for filling out the cheeks. Take two
small pieces of rubber, such as come in
the ends of lead pencils, and insert on
each side of the mouth, between the
back teeth. Close the teeth on them and
chew, spreading the teeth only just far
enough to keep the rubbers in their
places and shutting them with all the
force possible. After this put the fore
finger in the mouth and rub it against
the cheek, pressing it outward in every
way, reaching as far back as possible. II
is said that by regularly following fa-
cial exercises daily the face may be kept
rounded and firm in its outlines, and
that even old and relaxed muscles may
