GROWING.

A little rain, and a little sun.
And little pearly dew,
And pushing up snd reaching out
Then leaves and tendrils all about
All, that's the way the flowers grow,
Don't you know?
A little work, and little play,
And lots of quiet sleep;
A cheerful heart, and sunny face,
And lessons learned. and things In place.
All. that's the way the children grow,
Don't you know?

TYP he was employed. One
of the members of the
firm stood near door, the large pane
of glass in which had been broken.
Fragments of glass lay scattered over
the floor.
"You don't know how it hap
pened?"
mo, don't"
The boy surveyed the mischief for
moment, then said

hadn't II"
"Not yet. I want to find out who
is responsible for it first"
Ten minutes later, little beyond
the time in which the employees were
expected to be in their places, an
other boy came in. His quick move
ment, and the bright, alert way in
which he glanced about him, formed
strong contrast to the manners OF
the other boy.
Harmon, do you know anything
about thiss" asked Mr.. Strong, again
pointing to the shattered glass.
The newcomer had at sight of him
removed his hat, and now answered
with respectful bend of his head:

here last night, and l was carrying in
big armful of boxes, and l thought |

door at the other end of the pas

"a pity it couldn't have waited Tor
you"
I'm sorry, sir"
"But you see sorrow doesn't mend
broken glass. It's great deal better
to be sorry before the mischief is
DONE"
With another little bow, Will Har-
mon went for broom and a dust
pan with which to clean up the
broken glass.
There's the making of just one
splendid boy in those two"
The words came to Johns ears as
he was carefully seeking out the last
bits of glass on the floor. The door
was shut, and inside it Mr.. Strong
was talking to some one. Outside it
Will had come to assist John in his
search. The two gentlemen could
not see the boys, and apparently did
not consider that the opening left in
the door gave the sound of their
voices free passage.
"You think so?" said the other.
"Yes. There's Harmon, now"
Will had not paid much attention
to the former words, but at the men

A New Oil Deal.

G. M. Fisk, of Napoleon, was in
town Wednesday evening looking
over the prospects for leasing a limit
ed amount of land in this vicinity
for the purpose of prospecting for
gas and oil. Mr.. Fisk represents a
company of Indianapolis capitalists
Who have faith in the existence of oil
in this territory, and are willing to
back up their faith with their own
money. They are willing and anX-
ious to come here and lease a part of
the territory abandoned by the Nc
Comb company, and if they meet
with sufficient encouragement in the
way of leases they will go to work at
once and put down a we'll near this
place. If the Connolly lease can be
secured they will begin operations
on the abandoned we'll, as they are
of the opinion that those long lost
tools can be easily recovered. This
company does not ask our people to
put up one cent by way of bonus or
for any other purpose. All they
want is the leases, then they will put
down the test we'll at their own ex-
pense, if they fail to find oil in pay
ing quantities the loss is theirs

The Per Capita Circulation.

CINCINNATI, July 2S.-ED. Post: |
would like for some enterprising gold
man TO explain to me how he expects
any solid revival of business under
our present currency system. 1t is
all right for capitalists and people
who have plenty to say our present
system is all right, but really very
few active business men know how
rapidly our currency is being con-
tracted. From June 80, 1895. to June
30, 1896, we lost 800, 900, 900 by cancel
lation, 11,S59,OOO being Cancelled in
June, 1896, alone. Our per capita
circulation in 1893 was $26. 6.O2. June
30, 1896, it was 1922 96, and the
Bankers Journal, July, 1896, claims
it is now down to $21.15. Is there
anything in the Republican platform
suggestive of remedy for this state
of affairs? Can this great, undevel-
oped country do business on S14 per
head less than France without pay
ing enormous interest, which will
prevent our competition in the mar
kets of the world with other coun-
tries? w. A, ANDERSON.

The passageway under the Lima

is in bad condition and there is much
complaint regarding it. The city
officials should notify the company
of the condition in which it has left

1t is great injury, especially to the

over that road, and already several
