\ Bov Dwarf.

Down In Georgia, in a little town
called Tweed. lives a tiny bit of HUI
mainly who is probably the smallest
1S-year-old boy alive The name of
this junior midget is Henry Ruther-
ford Kicks, Jr. He looks very much
as Tom Thumb looked at the age of IS.
and he's as bright as a new dollar
Young Kicks is only thirty-five inches
tall and weighs but forty-eight pounds.
HIS is fully developed boy and is as
ambitious as he is small, which is saw
Ing a great deal. Henry is a great
reader, and has an honest, open face.
He is also very good natured and. con-
sidering. his size, is very plump. He
is a pupil of the Farmers Academy.
and his teacher speaks of him in the
highest terms; she says he is one OF her
best scholars and learns more quickly
than the other boys. The Liliputian
has a sleek coated dog named Gym. and
the two are familiar to everyone round
about Tweed; Gyp is gentle
dog. 1t is lucky for Henry that
this is so, because If Gyp was rough
he might easily kill little Henry. who
barely reaches TO the shoulder of the
dog when standing beside him. Henry
Is strong for one of his extremely d.
minutive size. He enjoys big an
petite-big for him-and there really
does not seem to be any reason for his
dwarfishness, since both his father and
mother are persons of the ordinary
size. You might think to look at him
that young Kicks was lad Of 8. though
MS manner is that of a gentlemaply
youth OF Is. He scorns the idea of
showing himself in museums. though
ne mas had several very liberal offers
rom well known people in the theatre
cal business. Some fine day this new
ION Thumb means to visit New York.
II ne takes this trip he will be the
most conspicuous little man in the
metropolis, and with his dog Gyp. he
would easily become the center OF
All attention; SO much so that Mr.. De-
pew. Mr.. Roosevelt and Mayor strong
would have to look to their laurels IN
the matter Of popularity.-New York

No Fun In Running AWAY.

Three small boys who live in Bidde.
ford, Me-, ran away from home the
other day. They wanted TO see the
world" but they got much more than
they bargained for. When they
crawled out OF lumber car at Somer-
vile. Mass, their faces were pale and
their limbs trembling. They were quite
ready to be sent back home II some
body only would send them. The train
had hardly left Biddeford when the
lumber in which they were concealed
began to shift and crowd on the little
fellows. and all their screams for help
were drowned by the roar of the train.
Bracing themselves as best they could.
they found that their united strength
would hold the boards from crushing
them, and all night long they thus held
death at bay. After a time the lumber
settled against the end of the car so that
TWO could hold II, and then they took
turns at resting. Ii was a hard night
Tor the boys, but perhaps a lucky one,
100, and the remembrance of ii may
save them from a worse fate.

Taking il from his hand, the mis-

which the first stanza is as follows:

THE missionary looked down with
an interest into the face earnestly up

where he got IL, and why he wanted a
clean one.
I'VE found IL. sir, he said in sis

A Pretty Romance.

Nearly thirty years ago pretty Miss
Chaplain was loved by two young men
named, respectively. Metcalfe and Sher-
man, both employees of her father. Be-
ing in love with young Sherman she en-
gagged herself to him. but almost on the
eve of her wedding day she received a
letter from him. breaking the engage
ment. Indignant, she turned right
around and married Metcalfe. The
young married couple went to Kansas
City, and the lucky Metcalfe became a
rich man.
Sherman went TO little town in Cen
trail Iowa, and became its mayor. Was
this to be taken as evidence of remorse
and reformation, or of complete aband-
onment to evil ways?
Anyway, about a year ago. Metcalfe
died. Mrs. Metcalfe looked over his pa
pers following his decease. And among
them she found conclusive evidence
that the fitting letter purporting to
have been written by Sherman in the
dear days of their youth was forgery.
She sat down and wrote TO Sherman,
who had meantime written her a letter
OF coincidence on the demise of the
until then-lamented Metcalfe. A week
ago the widow and Mr.. Sherman were
married.-Exchange.

Henry Ward Beecher used to tell this

mathematics taught him to depend upon

on him the name of Coloneh-the

BY the friendly fire OF the Cherokee
chief the young white stranger read
Homer's Had and learned to converse
in a tongue to which the Blind Bard
never listened. He acquired, too, a
knowledge Of the Indian character.
which made him in after years their
truest friend, their most dangerous en-
envy. Three or four years passed, and
the young Rover must have thought, as
he grew older, that his true home was
with his own people, for he returned to
live among them.
The war OF 1912 had begun, and at the
first call for troops in the nearest town
the tall young hunter enlisted-to the
modification Of his friends-as a pri-

Tecumseh's brother had visited the
Greek Nation several months before,

The prophets proclaimed this 10 the

Bicycle Needs Wings.

Donald Menzies, a cyclist of Cape Col
ony, South Africa, had peculiar ex-
perience recently. He was riding along
the main road from Cape Town TO Som
erset, West Strand, when an ostrich, at
tracted apparently by what was in his
eyes a novel vehicle. commenced to
waltz around the bicycle. After a few
preliminary antics the bird took it in
its head to pace Mr.. Menzies and so
long as 1t abstained from using it's
wings the cyclist and the ostrich man
aged to run dead heat. However, af-
ter covering about half mile la this
way the ostrich utilized it's stumpy
wings and spurted away at a record
breaking pace, leaving the cyclist far
behind.-Self Culture.
