Mrs. Deland calls journalism 1.-The
big brother of literature What she

Those who fancy that book and mag

they realize how many more words
to ideas are found in most books and
most magazine articles than in ews

so called literature out of the mar

Need ess to Telephone

If parents could see their own chill.
dren as others see them, it is to be
feared that the sum of human happi.
nesswould suffer a serious diminutiOn.
An exchange reports that boy of Il
years, more or less, rang the door,
bell of a house not long ago, and
said to the lady who answered the
summons:
"Won't you please telephone to the
police station for me? l have found
lost boy"
ga lost boy? How Old?"
"About four, Ishould think, ma'am.
He can talk, but he can't tell where
he lives"
"Some poor child, probably"
''Some awfully poor child. Why,
he was the dirtiest boy you ever saw,
and so hungry! Ma says he can't
have had anything to eat for a week.
We think his folks lost him on pur.
pose. Ma says they ought to be sent
to State Prison"
$50 they had. Does he give any
name?"
"Oh, yes; he says his name is
Burt"
"What! Has he light hair and
blue eyes?"
"Yes'm."
"And one front tooth gomez"
''YeS'm."
Giles my own son, he is, and you
walk him over here as quick as you
know how! Also, tell your mother
that people have got rich minding
their own business"

came to my mind and father came
running toward me. But he looked
over my head through the open doc

armed, too Father evidently thought
that my cry was caused by their sud

them in great surprise as they hastily
approached the barn.
Out gunning?' queried father. O.
the tall man.
Yes, cunning for a murderer,
replied the man coolly. Been chas
ing HIM for a fortnight. Tracked
him to the woods over there an hOul
ago. A woman down the road saw
him come into this barn, andy

floor and here's one on the round O

whiSkered man, who was the sheriff
Of the county, leaning his rifle in the
corner. Let's have your pitchforks,
neighbor, and well get at him.
"Father hurried me into the house,
and amid a passionate outUUrst OF

Pral terms in prison, his last offence
having been the murder of an inoffen.
sve old gentleman, for his money.
But, poor creature, he met a terrible
punishment for his crime, for, when
they removed enough hay to get at
him he was already dead.
Il don't think mother and father
ever told my part in the sad affair,
and there were no questions asked,
nor did they ever refer to the matter
in way to attach any blame to me;
but nevertheless the lesson sank deer
into my heart. ! begged TINS bit OF
