For Older Children.

And now, boys, want to have chat with
you about heroism. and l want the girls TO
listen to it. OF course We know that every
(ust after the war; who loved heroes So
much that she thought that every young or
old man that passed her with a crutch or an
arm or leg lost, must be hero, and she de-
cided that she could never marry any one
who hadn't lost at least an arm in the late
war, for unless man was disabled In some
way she felt sure he could not bs hero.
And l suppose you all love heroes and want
to bs heroes yourselves some day. That is
why want to tell you how to be hero.
Great warriors are great heroes. great poets
are great heroes, great men in any station are
heroes, because they have achieved a great
victory in some one line. But the greatest
man and the greatest hero is the mau who
has learned to rule himself, well Us to
achieve something beyond. Look at Mr..
Edison and Mr.. Gladstone. They are men SO
great that we do not really know how great
they are. But in history they will live among
the greatest names of any age there. Not
every man can be so great as that. But every
boy may try. Mr.. Gladstone made himself
the greatest man in England by hard study
and hard work and by always doing the best
he could in every way. Mr.. Edison did it by
constant work and by having the most in
ventive mind of the age One OF them is a
great inventor; the other a great statesman.
Would you like to follow them? But to be
a really great man in the world 1t is necessary
to be a great man at home first-that is to say
a hero in yourself.
You must learn to conquer your temper
and not 10 be the first in quarrel or to strike
boy smaller than yourself. or to do any
thing mean Learn to obey, for that is the
first thing a soldier must learn. Learn TO en-
dure for that is the second thing a soldier
must do. Work hard. study hard. help every
one you have chance TO help. and you have
no idea how strong you will soon grow. Be
brave. Do not court insult. and do not per
nit it. Begin by being lit tie man of honor;
then grow up one. Be polite to little girls
and to ladies. Wait on your sisters. And if
you are brave and honorable and plucky as a

A TEXAN JUSTICE.
He Did Not Stand ON Official Dignity But

Went Right to the Point.
lFrom the Galveston Newsl
Many amusing stories are told Of Roy Bean,
the famous justice Of the peacs at Langtry.
He is unique type of rough frontiersman.
with good, hard sense, and there is no red
tape about the justice he deals out. On one
occasion he was called to hold an inquest on
dead man at Pointed Cave. Getting the
witnesses together, he said to them: "stanp
up. you, and be sworn They stooo
up, and this was the oath he administered I'd
them:
'.You solemnly swear that the testimony in
this case. in which the state of Texas is, plain
tiff and the dead fellow here is defendant.
shall be the truth. the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, SO help you God. Sit
down, ~ you"
On another occasion he was examining q
witness who had cigarette in his mouth.
and one of the bystan ders called the Justices
attention to that fact.
II don't see why he can't lie just as well
with cigarette in his mouth as out OF it"
replied Judge Bean, as he continued the ques-
tioning.

Feminine Ingenuity.
NIHc 1HESHt5s
from the Indianapolis Sentinel

lfrOm the Indianapolis SentiuoLl
A colored woman who helps around came
very late the other morning, but wore queer
shaped garment all slashed around the waist.
Her mistress asked the reason OF her being
late and she exclaimed:
'Well, l sat up so late last night sewing on
my new basque that oversight this morning.
You see, the lady work for gave me an old
satin umbrella cover, and l cut me basque
out of it and made it last night
Surely feminine ingenuity can go no farthe
than to make basques out of old umbrella
covers. The result, however. is not pleasing.

Chats for Children;
Fact and Fiction

Each boy and girl has star hanging over
him or her in the heavens Now, boys and
girls. II you will send me each the name Of
your particular star, will tell you all about
it, and have talk with you about it and tell
your fortune at the same time.
Come, what do you do with your timer Do
you romp and play baseball. or are you study
iug hard for your examinations, looking for
ward to going to the country or going to
have a good time at home? Do you get up
before in the morning to row a boat, or do
you pore over fairy tales and pioneer stories
all day? The best life for you is the healthi-
est one-that is, out-of-door life. Play as
much as you can. race through the
woods, play baseball, cricket, lacrosse
any game you can find cut about or
invent Girls. do the same thing. Play
with the boys if they will let you. They play
better than you do and have more fun at it.
Don't try to be ladylike when you go out to
play. but romp and have all the fun out of it
you can. Just consider that yop can never
have as good time again. You have the
whole Summer before you. Let it be Sum-
mer of sports to be remembered. l don't
know that any new outdoor sports have been
invented, and, anyway, I fancy that you
KNOW HlOTc duOut tuOse Sports tQan i 90.
But il a rainy day comes and you are confined
to the house don't nope and be angry with
the weather. Look about you and find some
thing to play and do. Puss in the corner and
hide and seek are games very well known,
but usually forgotten by sulky children. But
here is game about which I'll wager you
know nothing:
Have you ever heard of Poets and "Au-
thors?" Not real poets and authors, but just
the games. Well, get them and try them.
They are games of cards, and there are beau
tiful sayings, or sayings that will make your
sides ache with laughing, on every card. and
so many cards make book. And they make
about as amusing house game on rainy
day as any know of. And then there are the
old, beautiful Irish legends or fairy tales that
are scarcely ever to be seen among fairy tales
here. but are more beautiful than any of them.
Your mamma or papa could get those for
you without much difficulty / should think.
AT least. try the games. You can never tell
how amusing games may be until you have
tried them.

Tho Acrne of Bookmaking.

The fact is learned from persons fully in
formed in the bookmaking art that at pres
ent gliding over marbled or plain high
colored edges is "the acme of luxe des livres."
Whom the marbled edges have dried they are
lightly rubbed with fine grained sandpaper
and agate Furnished The size is afterward
delicately applied. Next comes the leaf as in
ordinary gliding. The effect of the marbling
showing through the gold is thought to be
more striking than any plain sub-color. A
new color of leather for bookbinding has re-
Gently been produced in Europe. The shade
resembles magenta, and this appears likely to
again become favorite one, as happened
thirty years ago. The color is not exactly the
magenta red Of that date, and "caramia" is
the name given the new tiut. This is to be
found in straight-grained morocco, crushed
levant, polished crocodile skin and other ma
terials.

PORT TOWNSEND Wash. }, July 2.
The first seizure of the season was
made in South Behring sea two
weeks ago by the United States
steamship Concord, when the seal
ing schooner, Wanderer of Victoria,
was boarded and found to have
broken the seals from her guns and
ammunition after having been pre-
viously boarded and sealed by the

sent to Sitka for trial.
The Pacific Mail liner Peru
recently arrived at San Francisco

cisco the Chinese cook and baker
had a falling out. 10y, the baker,
plunged bread knife in the cook 5

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
A Shipwrecked Crew Resort to
Cannibalism to Save Life.

Captain Huntley, of the wrecked
whaling bark James Allen, is well
known in this city, he having paid
a number of visits to the port. In
speaking of the wreck the Chroni-
Gle says:
The hardships were telling on
the crew, and Captain Huntley
called for volunteers and started
eastward, without compass or food,
to get assistance, leaving sixteen
men behind. After Huntley's de-
parture the men became disheart-
ened, and, as the days passed, gave
up all hope of rescue. One of the
crew died, and his comrades were
too weak to give him burial.
A few days later another died,
and the men, unable to resist the
temptation any longer, began an
awful feast on human flesh.
Although the survivors dislike to
rehearse the details, yet they adj
mitted to the naval officers that
they had eaten nearly all the flesh
from one OF the corpses and had
commenced on another when the
revenue cutter Bear returned with
Captain Huntley and took them
away from the island.
