HOW HE FELLED a TREE.
Scorned to Labor with His Hands When
Brmin Work MoulI Count.

The man in the country has not the
push of the man in h city, but he
knows moro about necessity as n labor
saving machine than the city man. An
ordinary ChiCagoan fell into this line
of thought the other day as he was re-
turning to the city on a railroad train.
An accident detained the train out in
the woods. The Chicago man, saws the
Chronicle of that city, had time to stay
and he roamcd about in the leaves. In
doing so his attention was attracted
TO a man and Il horse. The horse was
harncsscd to one end of a long rope.
The animal was led out the length of
the rope. The man walked back to a
tree. The other end of the rope was
tied around his waist. He climbed the
tree until he reached the topmost
branch. Then he united the end of the
rope from his waist and made it secure
on n limb. Then he descended,
took OFF his coat, spat upon his hands,
laid hold of an AK handle in the usual
way and began chopping at the tree.
After he had made quite a cash he
chucked to the horse at the far end of
the rope. The man resumed chopping,
and, succeeding every half dozen chops,
lac started up the horse. At each start
Of the horse the top of the tree, and
the trunk as well, inclined by degrees
to the horse. By the time the man had
cut half into the tree, with the horse
still pulling on the rope, the tree broke
where the cutting had been made and
fell. The man had saved himself half
the usual labor. The Chicago man
Grunted. well, I'll be darned," he
said. "Now, if n city man had under
taken to fell n tree he would have
chopped all the way through. The
hayseed can give is points on q good
many things"

two places, good going indeed for one
of those Southern lines
The dull, heavy, October Sunday
night, George Langley would gladly
have sat whole hour in the most un-
painted, unpadded, draughty and jolly
carriage of any >one Of these Southern
lines if he might get from the village to
the town. He had been paying a stolen
visit to Kate-to lovely Kate Bascott,
of Dewhurst. He had said good by to
her at the bottom of her fathers garden
and run all the way to the railway sta
ton, only to find the last train gone.
Eleven had struck and the one street Of
Dewhurst was as empty of people as the
churchyard.
Langley sat down on hand-truck
which be found chained to post. He
lit his pipe and proceeded to consider
his position. Hardly had he begun the
reflection that he had walked many
miles that day, and was glad of his rest
on the hand truck, when flashed into
his mind the picture Of a punt, with
sculls in hel, seen moored below the
bridge to- day. Then he felt flush of
plearure when be brought to mind that
it must now be about ebb at Dewhurst.
In light punt, and on the back Of 4
six knot tide, he should fly along the
nine miles of water to Bersea in less chan
half the time it would take MIN to reach
the halfway house on his weary feet.
At the bridge ne had to proceed care
fully for be did not know the ground
we'll; there was no regular landing place
and hardly gIi%nmer of light trickled
through the lowering clouds. With a
feeling Of profound relief found the skitf
with skulls lying on the thwarts. Cast
ing off the painter he stepped aboard
with a chuchle of remorso when he
fancied the owners arrival later to find
the boat gone.
Rowing along through the damp dark
ness of that autumn night was not in
spring; but he realized with delight
the great pace from the light swiftnesa
with which the skulls came to him
through the water, and from the pom
derous, silent sliding by of the black
banks.

THE SCHOOLGIRL.
BY MRS. N. A. KIDDER.

A schoolgirl trips
Across the path
Oh what a picture
Sweet is she,
Her little form full
Of airy grace
Her bounding step
So firm and free.
She turns not to
The right or left;
This lass, half woman
And half child
Admiring glances
Move her not
So like a white
Dove unde6led.
Her red lips move,
But not in song;
And not in speech
That one may hear,
She but repeats
Her lesson Ger;
She will not miss
To day-no fear.
She knows not of
Her beauty rare
She thinks not of
The coming time
When she shall learn
Loves lesson we'll,
And set it to her
Hearts sweet rhyme.
Her golden hair.
Now braided down,
And tied with
Ribbons bright in hue,
Will then take on
My lady's style;
With gown to match
Her eyes Of blue.
Oh would l might
Be there to see
The little maid
And not be seen,
When she puts on
The serious ways
And maiden airs
At sweet sixteen.
Heaven bless thee,
Anyway, fair child,
And have thee ever
In in its care;
That witching beauty,
Such as thine
May meyer prove
To thee a snare.
