ModestY to Brag About.

Modesty, says the New York Mercury,
is a precious grace, so precious and
Withal so rare that some who have it
cannot bare to hide it under a bushel.
What is mans light good for if he
does not let it shine? Such a person
was lately holding forth after dinner.
Nearly all charitable acts" said he,
''have vanity as their motive. For my
part, I hate ostentation. I remember
once when [ was travelling in the
North of England where nobody knew
me I came upon lonely little station
where, in the waiting-room, there was
fastened to the wall a contribution box
for the benefit of the sufferers from
recent food which had occurred in that
district.
'There was not soul there; nobody
saw me nor knew my name and I went
and dropped sovereign into the box
and slipped away unseen, unknown.
''NoW, sir, what I contend, is that my
secret offering was a more meritorious
one, intrinsically considered, than if it
had been made on public subscription
list, with a loud flourish of trumpets."
''You are quite right said one of his
hearers. "That was genuine modest
charity, and 1 don't wonder that you
brag about it,

tion of the water works followed which
proved satisfactory. Supt. Malone and

ner which was heartily enjoyed by all.
At o'clock Thos. Blackstock, Of She

SENTIMENT AMONG CHILDREN
The Keenest OF Feelings shown by the
Destitute Glasses.

The Keenest of Feelings Shown by the
Destitute Classes.
Eyes, one sees and hears queer things
among the poor children of the east
side," said young woman who devotes
all her time to that large part of the
metropolitan community to New York
Tribune man. I'VE took a party of lit
tie ones to Central Park the other day
and had the usual number of good and
naughty ones, as we'll as the quiet and
noisy kind. Two little tots who kept
away from all the rest attracted my at
tentfon. I went to speak to them. They
sat together, quiet and glum, and was
afraid they were bored What's the
matter?' I asked. Aren't you having
a good timer
oh, yes, miss-we are, it's awfully
nice, so green and-and, please what
place is this?'
Why, this is New York. I said.
Is that so? We were thinking
ABOUT it, but didn't know there was any
country in New York, and if Miss -
was here now it would be fine"
The little one had mentioned the
name of the young woman's sister in
the work of tightening the burden
which fate has imposed on even these
young children.
"Why, do you know" continued the
young woman, that there's ever so
much sentiment among these little
ones. They listen eagerly to the stories
that have a sentimental turn and pre-
fer the songs that tell pathetic tale;
and then they are practical, too, and be-
come little men and women when chill
dren of their age in the better walks
of life are still confined to the nursery.
1t is nothing unusual to see a little tot
of four or five take care of a baby, not
for an hour or two, but for the whole
day, and the way they do it, how they
forget their own pleasure and how they
deprive themselves of what is to them
comfort in order to tend to the baby
makes them really heroic little mothers.
"A funny thing happened the other
day. said the young woman. II had
gone into the country to bring home a
party of Fresh Air children. They had
been away for two weeks, had enjoyed
themselves, and doubt if many in the
party felt any of those pleasures which
are associated with the words home
again. On a seat far back in the car
sat two little fellows engaged in earn
est conversation.
'Wot did you bring homer asked
one.
I brought a great big ball o. stick
ers and a lot O. sticks wot me brudder
kin make wissels wild. Say, wot did you
bring?'
Il got bottle o. spring water for
me mother and he thrust his hand deep
into the basket which contained his
wardrobe and showed a well-corked
bottle, which he held up in triumph.
81 wish I'd brought a bottle for my
mudder. There amt any such water in
our street.
''There was silence in the group for
little while; each boy seemed busy with
his thoughts At last the boy with the
'stickers and the sticks said: Say,
don't yer want to sell yer bottle?'
"There was a little more talk, an
other examination Of the coveted bot
tie and presently it changed hands, the
boy with the stickers giving a nickel
for it. The spirit of trade or the love of
the coin was greater than the boys de-
sire to please his mother"

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
Ken 1sha and Merrill Will Be the Next
wisconsin Towns to- Get It,


a despatch from Washington an
nounced that Mr.. Machen, superintend-
ent Of the free-delivery service, an
nounces that the receipts of the postof-
fees at Kenosha and Merrill during the
last fiscal year have exceeded $4,000,
and the Offices are therefore eligible
for the ee-delivery system. The sys-
tenn will not be instituted at the offices
at once, but it is believed that during
the year the service will be established.
The department has advised the city
council to complete theghouse number
ing and complete other detail neces-
sary to the establishment of free mail
delivery.
The department at Washington very
recently made inquiries of the local
post Office concerning various statistics
which would lead to the understanding
of the situation of affairs here. The mat
ter of free delivery here has been un-
der adyisement for h. past year, or
since the time the city made applica-
ton for it through the city clerk. The
LEGAL requirements were all filled at
that time, but owing to deficiencies in
the depal tment revenues it was i'm
practicable to consider the matter i'm
mediately. Returning good times, we
hope, will give it to us.

Success of the Electric Motor.


Thousands of electric motors are in
daily use, displacing steam and gas en-
gines and other forms of power motors.
The secret Of the electric motors sue
cess everywhere lies in the fact that,
for reliability, simplicity and certainty
of operation, it has no peer in the motor
field. It is compact, easily cared for,
unfailingly sure, and, with continu-
Gus rotatory motion, it can be applied
to it's work with g. minimum of expense
and complication. The sole question
of it's ferential use by industrial
power 1sumers is that of it's cost, in
Guiding the cost Of operating and main
tanning the motor. The last five years
have brought the answer to this ques-
ton to an extent not generally realized.
IN New York it is estimated that not
less than 5000 horsepower in electric
motors is at present in use, and about
400 horsepower in Brooklyn, with not
less than 5000 additional horsepower
in motors for the electric traction sys-
tenn in Brooklyn

Our Experience.

Brother Saxby informs us that he is
making garden and ADVISES us to try 1t
as there's money in it," Probably
you don't know OF our experience in
garden farming, brother SoXie. No?
Well, we've had some-eXperience
One Spring we thought 1t u shame to
)allow a quarter acre Of our farm" to
remain untitled, so we paid man $l.5O
to pillow and drag 1t. The ground was
wet when plowed and few days OF hot
sun "baked it" real nice and bard. Po-
tatoes were ,25 per bushel, and we
bought two bushels to plant. We hired
two men who worked two days at S1.25
each, per day, to do the work. They
broke three hoes, an old ak and stone
hammer in breaking up the ground
fine enough to cover the potatoes. One
man chopped his foot, accidentally,
and we had to pay his doctor bill or
hire a lawyer to defend us in damage
suit. 1t cost 50 to keep the weeds cut
down so we could see IL any OF the po-
tatoes came up. Only one hill ever
showed itself, and we sat on the fence
and watched the bugs eat the tops of
those. Since that time we have been
writing articles for an agricultural
paper on potato raising for profit"
The next Spring we thought few
shade trees would look nice in front oi
' ntl,. hnrna A he
country was willing to sell us the trees
real nice ones-and so cheap. He
thought we needed about ten - SIN
would have been plenty as we since
learned-so we paid the price, and the
good man began planting" them. A
friend OF ours-he is real nice man
came along, and having heard that 6
cup full of salt was the best thing Il
put under the roots Ito draw moisture
you know he kindly furnished enough
salt for the ten trees. (Real kind o
him, wasn't it?) We got up at midnigh
every third night in the week for thre,
months and poured pail OF river watel
on each tree in accordance with advic,
we had received from another friend o
ours. The bark of the trees sooi
cracked and pealed off and in order t,
learn what caused it we pulled one o
them up and examined the roots, ant
to our surprise and sorrow we foun'
the roots of those dear trees actuall,
petrified. OF course it wasn't the sal
that killed the trees, it must have bee
because the water we used in bathing
( them was too hard.
Our experience has been SO crafty
ing that we contemplate going into tn
, business of raising garden truck an
fancy shade trees.
