Mrs. Jennings read in a trembling voice:

NinrhIes ON The Stems.

H was the father, the proud father, of a
5-year-old son, says the Syracuse Post. He
was always telling what wonderful THINGS
that boy of his could do.
He was at one of the clubs the other
night and the way he Dragged made every
one tired. IL was Johnny this and johnny
that. till some one had the impoliteness to
tell him to dry up.
Last night he drifted around to the club
and, strange to relate. he never said q word
about that boy, not even a syllable.
This is the reason:
When the pepper went home Saturday
night he started to go up the front steps,
He stepped upon something hard and
round.
Grrrrr-biff,
This time his fall made such a racket
that his wife came to the door and wanted
to know what on earth was the matter with
her hubby that he couldn't walk up the
front stoop steps without waking up the
neighborhood
He said nothing In fact, he could not
have spoken if he had tried, such was the
greatness of his wrath.
"Oh, George" cried his wife, suddenly
little Johnny left his marbles out on the
stoop; pick them up for me, will you?"
Madam he roared, Il Would kindly
inform you that l have all l can do to pick
myself up"
md then he went into the house
And thus it came to pass that dear little
Johnny stood up all the next day and had
no marbles to play with.

Anita.

Samuel Minturn Peck in the Century
She's pretty puss in boots,
With a saucy name that suits
Every glance.
Is it whispered, is it sung,
Still it ripples on the tongue
In dance.
Oh, she walks so pit-a-pat,
And she talks of this and that
Such a way,
Just to watch her witching blush
Even Socrates would hush
Half day.
She is not an angel; no,
They are out O. place below,
Let us grieve.
Yet perchance there is a wing
Hid beneath that puffy thing
Styled sleeve.
Her singing makes me think
OF a tricksy bObOlink
All delight,
With his silver strain allow
Where the apple blossoms blow
Pink and white.
Like a wild rose, newly born,
Bursting into bloom at morn,
Dew agleam,
SO enhancing is her smile.
10, ii haunts me all the while
In a dream.

The Augusta Chronicle acknowledges,
in its issue of Monday that it's free sill
yer scheme is only an experiment at best,
but insists that ut is impossible to de-
monstrate the truth of either side except
by actual experiment" Those on the
sound money side of the question do not
wish any experimenting. Experiments
with the financial policy of one of the
greatest nations of the earth might prove
too costly. The sound money people wish
to be right before they go ahead. The
free silver people wish to so ahead first,
and find out afterward whether they are
right or not. Would the Chronicle be Will
ing to risk involving the whole country in
financial disaster, in order to try the ex-
pertinent of having this country adopt
free, unlimited and unconditional free
coinage of silver? Having got TO the point
of admitting its hobby to be an expert
ment, it is within the range of possible
ties that the Chronicle will shortly be con-
strained to conclude that the experiment
is impracticable and undesirable. 1t may
be doubted that the Chronicle would insti-
tute free coinage Of silver tomorrow if it
had plenary power to do so.
