HIS FUTURE OCCUPATION.

One Had BOY Thought He Would Drive .
Coach and Preach.
Ex-Attorney General Millerwas born
and spent his early life in a small New
York village. At the little school
house where he first learned to read
and play hockey" says the Indian
apolis Sentinel, there was fellow
pupil who, although about the same
age as Mr.. Miller, was noted through
out the village for his pure cussedness.
That boy, according to Mr.. Millcr's
statement, would sit up of a-nightt to con-
coct some scheme TO make the people of
the town miserable. He would chase
the cows, stone the dogs and pigs, put
ropes across the path at night, set pins
on the seats at church and scare the
wits out of all the old maids for mile
around. Whenever any devilment was
done it was laid at the door of this one
boy, and usually correctly. At school
he was terror to all. Stubborn and
defiant, there was no restraining him,
and the schoolmaster was in despair.
One day be thought he would make a
last effort to reform the boy by argu-
ment, and he called him up to the
desk.
Now, Tom" he began, you are a
bright fellow, but you are spelling
your future. just think what yon can
make of yourself If you only behave
yourself. Now, have you ever thought
of whatsyou will do when you grow
up to be MANI"
The boy looked at him for moment,
and then. picking up straw from the
floor. he picked his teeth for moment,
as though in deep thought.
YES" said he, II lowed / would
drive q coach an preach some"

Put out a Fire with Vinegar.

Water has been such a scarce article
around Kokomo, Ind, that resisting
fires has been almost impossible outside
OF the cities and larger towns. The
other night the large farmhouse of A.
5. Mccormack near Rockville, west OF
there, took fire. Being no water on the
place, the farm hands and neighbors
fought the flames with vinegar and
cider, a number of barrels of which
were stored in wagonhouse, and by
this means saved the adjoining build
iugs, though the residence was de-
stroyed.

Curious Game.
A custom of the Abyssinian braves is
described by Pearson's Weekly. The
girls themselves play an active part
there. When young people are gath
cred for amusement. one of them will
begin peeling straw of green millet,
which is full of pith.
Her lovers blood runs cold, probably,
hut he must smile or own himself a
craven. When she has cut the pith in
to bits an inch long. he stretchesso out
his bare arm. The example set, every
girl who respects herself and has low
err follows it.
The young men form circle with
arms extended. Blithely, then, with
many jest, doubtless, the maidens ar
range their bits of pith upright in some
fanciful design on the bare flesh. and
set them alight. They are nearly an
inch thick, and they burn very slowly.
but the hapiess youth must stand and
smile as well as he can till the blood of
the scared flesh extinguishes them.

them miserable. but place curse upon

NO DISCRIMINATION.

The gist OF the decision of the Su,
preme Court of Illinois AS to the Cody
law Is that the Legislature has no right
10 discriminate against persons en-
gagged in any particular occupation on
sunday. The court holds that III the
public welfare of the State demands
that all business ana all labor of ey-
cry description except that of necessity
ana charity should cease on sunday"
the Legislature may pass law to that
effect. But 1t cannot order BARRIERS
TO close shops on Sunday unless 1t treats
persons engaged in other occupations
which stand on the same footing In
the same way.

close to his charge. and while secre-
tary of the Massachusetts State Board
of Education he did perhaps his fullest
work. He said of this time, between
June, 1897, ana May, 1913, when he
rendered his resignation To the board:
