TIVE STORY OF A PoULTICE.-
Family discipline is still maintain
ed in some American families, as of
course it ought to be in all. The
Rehoboth Herald furnishes an in
stance. A small boy got silver in
his foot, according to The Herald,
and his mother expressed her in
tention of putting a poultie on the
wound. The boy, with the natural
foolishness which is bound mp in
the heart of q child, objected to the
proposed remedy.
Il won't have any poultice,' he
declared.
Yes, you will, said both mother
and grandmother firmly. The ma
jority was two to one against him,
and at bedtime the poultice was
ready.
The patient was not ready. On
the contrary, he resisted so stoutly
that switch was brought into re-
QUESTION. 1t was arranged that
the grandmother should apply the
poultice, while the mother, with up
lifted stick, was to stand at the
bedside. The boy was told that if
he opened his mouth he would re-
ceive something that would keep
him quiet.
The hot poultice touched his foot,
and he opened his mouth.
'You'-he began.
Keep STILL said his mother,
shaking her stick, while the grand
mother applied the poultice.
Once more the little fellow open
! ed his mouth.
p
But the uplifted switch awed him
into silence.
In minute more the poultice
was firmly in place, and the boy
was tucked in bed.
There, now, said his mother.
The old silver will be.drawn out,
and Eddie's foot will be all WE'LL
The mother and grandmother
were moving triumphantly away
wien a shrill voice piped from
under the bedclothes:
you've got it on the wrong foot.

A certain gentleman was in the
habit of visiting very frequently a
family where his company was not
not wanted. One evening he was

boys of the family, who clapped his

KEEP IT OPEx.-One of the most

KEEP IT OPES.-One of the most
notable characters in western North
Carolina, some years ago, was an
old physician, ~ well known for
his shrewd philosophy as for his
skill in healing.
my character he said once to a
friend, was to degree formed by
a single incident in my childhood.
Our home was log hat in the SUI
burbs of the town in which we lived.
The door and two windows opened
into the squalid street, pigsty and
q vacant lot into which the refuse
Of the town was thrown. But
through q small window, hardly
more than chink, at the back of
the house, we had glimpse of the
mountain tops, about which the
clouds hung and shifted perpetual
ly. My mother had habit of clos
ing the door and side windows, and
opening this little 'chink' whenever
we children were tired, or cross, or
discouraged. She knew, but we did
not, that that glimpse of wonderful
peace and beauty would probably
quiet and help as.
when was leaving home to
seek my fortune l said to her, Il
wish ! could take that with me-
looking up at this window. 'You
can't do that john she said, 'but
| am sure there will never be place
in your life SO mean and poor, but
that some chink in it will open on
something beautiful and good.
Keep it OPEN
Il have tried to obey her. said
the old man. IF there is but one
hopeful symptom in a patient, l
keep it in sight for him and for
myself. IL there is but one good
trait in q mans character, l try to
look at it alone, and shut out all
the rest.
Il see that God sends pain into
mems lives as a discipline, but he
does not hinder them from finding
comfort in many ways-in books
and joys and songs and harmless
fun. l help them to find it. Life
is hard and squalid enough some
times, but there is always a chink
somewhere through which one can
see the mountain tops and sunlit
clouds
The Quaker, Lucretia Mott, who
gave herself to the relief of suffer-
ing and misery, resolved early in
life that her home should always be
kept happy. There, even in ex-
treme old age, she was not only
cheerful, but gay and merry. She
was more tender and helpful to
Gods needy creatures because there
was one spot on earth in which she
simply rejoiced in His goodness.
There is always a crack in the
barest life through which the stars
shine, if we choose to look for it.
1t was in the night of his poverty
and blindness that Milton saw the
heavens unclose, and breathed i'm.
mortal airs.

Hunting the Bighorn.

The recent novel experience Of
party OF hunters in Southern Colo
RADIO is the more interesting when
it is remembered that American big
game has, to use a grizzled old-tim-
er's expression, gone upthe fiume.'
The buffalo has gone, and it 10 no
longer lawful to take playful shot
at the noble red man. The griz-
zly, monarch, erstwhile, Of the
Western hill, has about lost his
moral prestige, and the coyote, ex-
cept az an occasional skulker, bowls
no more abroad in this goodly land.
Only the bighorn, lord of the pre-
cipice, and noblest of them all, vet
holds his own.
The wild sheep of the Rockies is
in appearance a curious mixture Of
the mule-deer and domestic sheep
"a deer with sleeps horns and
the habits of the OLD World cha
mois.
Our party took up position on
o rugged peak in the La Platas, not
less than 1900 feet above the scene
of the recent gold boom, and pro-
badly $4,000 feet above the sea lev
ell. The bighorn is no denizen of
your paltry foothills that scarce
reach the region of rain season fogs,
nor are his footprints found deep in
the tangled fastness, where the
plantigrade creature so much ma
ligned loves to lead his quiet life.
Where the grass land borders the
eternal snow he finds eongenial sur
roundings; and the man who would
get shot at him with any chance
of success must climb to mighty al.
titudes, and there out-general the
most elusive general Of the Western
hills.
One of the great arroyas or washes
that seam the mountains side &C.
cured us against discovery by the
wary band that daily grazed about
the hillside.
We spent all the first day trying
to devise q scheme to circumvent
the willy old ram that hourly kept
watch from grassy knoll. We fl.
nally hit upon a simple plan that
ought have succeeded, but didn't.
In our fertile imaginations we slip
ped up the arroyo and took posi-
ton to intercept them when they
fled to the rocky heights above,
then the boy at the camp raised q
racket, of which he was eminently
capable, and drove the wild sheep
to an untimely death.
Quickly put in practice, the plan
was carried out-with slight varia-
tons, the sheep scampering like
fleas before we reached our chosen
position, warned by sudden change
in the wind.
All the next day we could see the
old ram leaping about, from ter
race to battlement, and frequently
jumping straight upward four times
his own height, outlining himself
against the blue sky, and looking
like the figures of Japanese fan,
all devoid Of that specific force called
gravity.
We got him at last, when he ven-
tured part way down to the all but
impossible wall, and stood out in
bold relief on a huge bowlder with
in range of our excellent rifles.
Two shots rang out in quick sue.
cession, and l recall my exact SEN
sation at seeing blue-gray form
shoot from the bowlder, and hear
ing dull thud almost at my feet
the next instant.
| never knew whose bullet killed
the bighorn, but there he lay, no.
BILE fellow, what there was left of
him, torn by many crag of his own
native hills, and when we drew cuts
for his horns, my usual luck gave
him to the other fellow.
