A Little Kings Daughter.

One day in the early spring little
Bertha looked up into her moth
er's face p%leadingly, saying, Mamma,
dear, tan't 1 have a darden all my
very OWN"
Kind Mrs. Cleverly never de-
MED her children any reasonable
request, so it was decided that
Bertha should have her W little
garden to care for herself. AS she
was too small to understand any
thing about planting, her mother
had some asters, a row of daisies and
a bed of pansies set out.
Never was a little girl more busy.
She watered the plants and soon
grew to know when weeds appeared.
No part of the yard looked prettier or
heater than Bertha's dearly loved
flower bed.
Our little gardener had a sister
who belonged to the Kings Daugh-
tiers. This sister often told Of the
different ways in which her friends
had made money to spend in charita-
BILE work, little dreaming that her
sister was drinking in every word
she said.
Soon the flowers were in bloom,
and Bertha was very proud OF her
pets.
One afternoon, Katie, the maid,
came into the house in great dis
tress, crying:
"Oh, Mrs. Cleverly, sure, and the
posies is all gone out OF the baby's
garden!"
When Mrs. Cleverly hurried out,
she found it all too true.
Every flower had been nipped from
the plants, not even a half-opened
bud remaining to mourn for its com.
paniOns.
She went into the house much per-
picked and distressed, for she knew
how grieved her little girl would be
when she was told of her great loss.
While she sat wondering who could
be so cruel as to rob her pet, in came
Bertha, shouting:
"Oh, mamma, I've dot all my flow
ers, every one, made into punches to
sell; tause I'm a Tins Daughter, and
I'm doing to dive the money all to
the poor people"
"Bless your precious heart cried
her mother, as she held the little girl
close In her arms, while tears filled

experienced traveller. A friend of
mine, Mccoy Shepard, was travelling
alone from Acapulco to the City of
Mexico. He knew the language of
the country we'll and had little
thought of danger, but he went pre-
pared for business. He put in the
holster OF his saddle a 44-caliber re-
volver loaded with cartridges that
barely had enough powder in them to
blow the bullets out of the muzzle,
and then in the small of his back he
hung the handiest 3S-caliber he could
find when in Frisco.
1T happened that as he was coming
down out Of the main range three
road agents stepped from the rocks
beside the road and had him cornered

machetes, but for some reason did

Something Lacking g.

A certain doctor living in the up
per part of the city has a bright and
oberving 4-year-old daughter. She
has a brother a few years older, of
whom she is very fond, and who for
her Amusement sometimes draws pict-
ures on slate or paper. A few even
ings ago he was thus engaged and es-
sayed to draw an elephant. He
shaped the body, head and legs, and

waiting patiently for him to finish,
and when he stopped and she thought
he was done exclaimed, "Why, John
ME, you forgot to put on his sachel."
For the moment she couldn't think
of the word trunk and evidently con-
cluded the other word would do as
well.-Utica Observer.

His Order.

A speaker who has planned an ad-
dress for a multitude. and finds him
self confronted with but a single
auditor, sometimes fails to readjust
his remarks, and the result is apt to
lie ludicrous. A little story illustra-
tive of this point is told in cOnnec-
ton with a former president OF the
University of North Carolina.
One day, as this digni1ed and
stately parsonage was walking about
the campus, he observed an unlaw-
full assemblage of students at some
little distance. He did not hasten
his steps, but proceeded slowly to-
ward them with his head down and
his eyes apparently bent in contem-
platiOn of his W boots.
When this leisurely preceding had
brought him to the spot where the
students had been gathered, only q
young man remained, the others nav
ing precipitately departed.
The president raised his head and
surveyed the solitary culprit with
apparent severity, although the
Young man always cOntended that

eyes.
sir" said the president in a COM
handing tone, INSTANTLY disperse to

Difficult though the feat required
certainly was, the young man exc
cuted to the best of his ability by
"dispersing" without further delay.

Mac to get down, and he did per-
force. Then n of them took the
revolver from the holster.

was incredible that such a pistol
should be worthless. and they said so.
"But, gentlemen, ! will put my hat
in the road and you may shoot at it
with the pistol. The bullet will not
60 through the hat"
At that he took off his hat, a gor-
geous Mexican affair that cost $50 in
Acapulco, and put it on a rock not
ten feet away and stepped back to-
ward hut about five feet at one side
of the bandits. They were interest
ed at once. The idea was novel to
them. The man with the pistol
aimed deliberately and fired at the
hat. Then the three ran to look at
the effect of the shot. Macs turn
to shoot had come. Whipping out
the u~nnoticed revolver he shot two
of them down before they could turn
on him. Third did no more than
turn round before he caught his dose

Boys Speeches.

AT of the big private schools
for boys owe in Brooklyn, says the
New York Times, there is a debating
society which meets once a fortnight
and discusses various questions of
public interest. Atone meeting cap.
ital punishment was the subject pre-
sented, and the young lad upon whom
the duty of opening the meeting rest
ed was somewhat embarrassed v
his position. When the meeting was
called to order, however, he prompt
ly stood up and began, "Mr. Chair
man and gentlemen, the subject
which we are about to discuss this
evening is one of the most vital i'm
| p%ortance to everybody in this room,"
but he never got any farther in that
sentence, for he was greeted with
cheers and laughter that effectually
interrupted him. OF course the young
speaker did not mean to imply that
every n OF his listeners was in
danger of being hanged or electro
cuted, but what he said sounded like
it, and so they laughed. Another
boy speaker at another class debat-
ing society got himself laughed at,
too, once when he stood up to talk
about Gen. Grant. He vas very
much embarrassed and frankly cor
fesSed that he was able to say very
little. But" he added, eff l were
| to say but three words, l should wish
to make them a continuous eulOgy
upon General Grant" That boy is a
%gray-haired man now, but he and his
friends still laugh at his continuous
three word eulOgy.
