Thought He Was Beccher,

When Henry Ward Beecher was at
the height Of his career, there were a
few men who resembled him near
enough to be able to duplicate him in
public. Among these was Judge -
Of Buffalo, who sometimes found the
likeness source Of annoyance. At one
time the judge was travelling with a
party Of ladies who were under his care.
He CALAMITY ascribed the attention he
received to them, but on an occasion
when he retired to the smoking car the
riddle was solved. The moment he left
the parlor car a couple of strange men
hurried in, and after apologizing to the
ladies for the intrusion asked very ear
nestly it the gentleman in their company
were not Mr.. Beeoher. Upon being as
sured that he was not. one man turned
to the other, and handing him roll Of
bills said:
Take them; you've won." Then,
turning to the ladies. he explained, II
bet 500 that your friend was Mr..
Beecher, and I've lost And he fol-
lowed his companion from the car. The
judge laughed heartily when told Of the
incident and said 1t was not the first
time that another mans greatness had
been thrust upon him.-Detroit Free

Advice to a Young Blackbird.


All, there you are, let out alone at last.
I've watched your goings on for some days
past.
Though you may try to hide your youth BY
cheek,
know your age-you left the nest last week.
Come here and let me give you some advice.
1t shall be useful, kindly and concise,
For your now life has jars as well as joys,
And there are cats and catapults and boys
When on the lawn, be viglant and firm
And deity learn to land the unwilling worm.
When times are hard and every lawn is dry,
Give up the usual worm and try the fly.
Feast through the summer, but when autumn
comes
Abstemious be, but chiefly with my plums
Thank man in winter for his crumbs and grain
And in the summer praise the Lord for rain
In nesting time don't build too near the sod;
Choose thick holly and then trust in God.
Get good mate, with kindly heart, and tail
Managed with grace, not Haunted like fail.
When you fall out, as will do hens and hubs,
Don't make it known by scolding through the
shrubs
And now about your singing just word
Practice for skill, not merely to be heard.
You ought to have voice Of some repute;
Your fathers voice, you know, is like a flute.
Keep your song low and MARBLE from the chest:
A mellow, rich contralto suits you best.
Whate'er you do, don't trife with the air,
But work 1t out with conscientious care.
"Give yourself airs" but don't "go on tho
street"
Or your best passages too oft repeat
At early morn Il cheerful voice maintain,
But in the evening sing your tenderest strain.
Work hard be true and for perfection search.
Then In your art you II take the highest perch,
Think Ger what I've said. Remember that
Where er you are-look outl here comes the cati
Academy.

Any one who has ever had an attack Of
inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr.. j. A. Stumm, 22O Boyle Heights,
Los Angeles, over his fortunate escape
from siege of that distressing ailment.
Mr.. Stumm is foreman of Merriam's con-
fectionery establishment. Some months
ago, on leaving the heated work room to
run across the street on an errand, he was
caught out in the rain. The result was
that when ready to go home that night he
was unable to walk, owing to infamma-
tory rheumatism. He was taken home,
and on arrival was placed in front of a
good fire and thoroughly rubbed with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. During the
evening and night he was repeatedly
bathed with this Eminent, and by morn
ing was relieved of all rheumatic pains.
He now takes especial pleasure in prais-
ing Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and always
keeps bottle of it in the house. For

What He Thought.

Have you ever watched the kaleidoscope
dawn ON the human mind?
To the uninitiated 1t is q neat looking
brown box, with metal arrangement at
the top, the whole resembling a nice piece
of furniture The visitor who has never
had any experience with it before will
waltz up In hilarious mood and deposit
his quarter with the presiding genius who
watches over the machines
Then the visitor will amble softly in,
look inquisitiyely at the operator and
smile.
"Put your eyes down against the open
ing" directs the operator.
Cautiously the patron does as he is di.
rected, shrinking back as if he momenta-
rily expected live contact with electricity.
The operator touches the lover, and In
stantly the dark interior of the machine
becomes alive.
The expression Of the customers face
undergoes swift change. Wonder and
amazement are clearly depicted on the
countenance Of the amazed mortal. He
gazes at the picture in rapt amazement, as
If he expected the figures in it to speak.
Before he RECEIVERS from his surprise the
vivid scene Is blotted out with snap.
He lifts his astonished eyes from the
picture, and looking up exclaims:
"By gosh, I've allus hearn tell that

The Ghost Of a Chance

The Ghost Of q Chance
Is very shadowy affair. Ere the chance
of recovery becomes vanishing ghost
take most potent means of overcoming
the inactivity of the organs that termin-
ates in their too frequently fatal disease,
by resorting to Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which gives just the requisite i'm
pulse to the renal organs to promote
their vigorous action without exciting
them, en- effect too often produced by the
fiery and unmedicated stimulants of COM
merce. Bright's disease, diabetes and in
activity of the bladder, are foes of terri
BILE menace to the system. The inroads
may, however, be stayed if they are met
at the start and combatted with the Bit
tiers. This fine and genial corrective
also remedies malaria, dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism, debility, nervousness and the in
firmaties incident to age. 1t hastens
convalescense, and is promotive of sleep
and appetite.

There are won lerful things we are going to dc
Some other day,
And harbors we hope to drift into
Some other day.
With folded hands and oars that trail
We watch and wait for favoring gale
To fill the folds of an idle sail
Some other day
We know we must toll if ever we win
Some other day.
But we say to ourselves there's time to begin
Some other day.
And so, deferring, we loter on,
Until at last we find withdrawn
The strength Of the hope we leaned upon
Some other day.
And when we are old and our race is run,
Some other day,
We fret for the things that might have been
done
Some other day.
We trace the path that leads us where
The reckoning hand of a grim despair
Leads us yonder, out of the here,
Some other day.

Is or win Be.

One Of those grammarian friends met
mo the other day and asked me which
was correct, "Tom orrow is Sunday" or
Tomorrow will be Sunday" I told
him the following story: Years ago the
Reading Railroad company issued an
order requiring its brakemen, as soon as
q train started from any station, to call
out the name Of the next stopping place.
For awhile the trainmen, instructed
doubtless by some grammarian Of the
road, would do this by saying, Next
station will be"-Allentown, Reading,
etc. An editor took them to task for it,
pointing out the absurdity Of using the
future tense in speaking Of that which
always is in the same place. After that
the brakemen dropped will be" and
cried, "Next station" - Allentown,
Reading. etc. philadelphia Call.

POOR PooTs.
The Painful Predicament of a Young Man
In Love,

The Painful Predicament of a Young Man
In Love.
The young man Poots went to see his
sweetheart the other evening, and being
quite at home with the family thought he
would slip into the parlor unperceived and
hide behind the sofa, just to give her lit
tie surprise as she came in to light the gas,
for it was early twilight.
He had been in his place Of concealment
but few moments when there was ring
at the outer door, and moment later his
hearts delight ushered another young
man into the darkened parlor, the young
lady not seeming to think illumination
necessary yet.
They sat down on the sofa together, and
the young lady said:
"Oh, George, l am 80 glad 1t Is you!
When the bell rang, was almost sure it
was that dreadful bore, Poots.
Poots silently gritted his teeth behind
the sofa.
"My dear, said the strange young man,
slipping his arm around her waist, 'who
is this fellow Pootsp"
"Oh, he's wretch that comes hanging
around here once in awhile that we have
w pun Wy WlVu UeCduSo MS lOlhS COIlo
from the same place in the north. He
bores the life out of me-.
IA wretch, am II" said Poots to him
self bitterly "Ill show who am when
that chap starts for home, and he dou-
bled up both fists.
But the young man wouldn't start for
home.
He staid and staid, and they kept a-bill-
ing and cooling until after midnight
Poots' position was very uncomfortable,
squatting behind tho sofa, and the love-
making that was going on did not add to
his ease.
There is no knowing how long the en-
tertainment would have lasted had not the
young lady's father come down stairs In
his dressing gown and slippers and abrupt
ly dissolved the parliament. When they
were gone and all was still, young Poots
tried to creep out OH tiptoe, but he STUN

as to alarm the house

Manhood.

Not till life's heat has cooled,
The headlong rush slowed to quiet pace
And every purblind passion that had ruled
Our noiser years at last
spurs us in vain and, weary of the race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
All. not till all the bsst of life seems past
The best Of life begins.
To toll for only fame,
Hand clippings and the tickle gusts Of praise,
For place or power or gold to gild a name
Above the grave whereto
Al paths will bring us, were to lose our days,
We on whose ears youths passing bell has
tolled,
In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled us lies
Broken among our childhood's toys, for then
We win to self control
And mail ourselves in manhood, and there rise
Upon us from tho vast and MINDLESS height
Those clearer thoughta that are unto the soul
What stars are to the night
