AS hack inspector he receives corlpiaints

Livingstone's Boyhood.

Janet Livingstone, who died recently
in Edinburgh, was the younger sister
of the great African explorer, David
Livingstone. She told many quaint
stories of her brothers boyhood. Once
when six years old he stayed out be-
yond the prescribed hours, and on re-
turning home found the door barred, a
punishment for the second transgres-
sion of the kind. David made no fuss.
and his father, when he opened the
door some time later, found the young
hopeful sitting on the door step MUNICH
ing penny loaf.
"I'm having my supper" he observed
resignedly to his astonished parent
Mother has shut me out"
Livingstone, senior, was as great a
philosopher as his son. One day David
brought home the news that a heavy
duty was to be put on tobacco
Neil Livingstone, who was not rich
man, was just lighting his pipe as the
news was broken. He put it down un-
lighted.
eff we have to give it up," he said,
eve may as well begin now" He never
smoked again.

great deal to use for such a purpose,
but your grandmother thought she
could afford to give you that on your

mention of the tea-set, but sank sud-

some candy. nuts and apples, and on
your birthday enjoy your new tea-set

"But the tea-set, mamma, the tea

eagerly asked Bertha.
Mamma laughingly shook her head.
II don't think 1 ought to tell any
thing more" she said Bertha, well
knowing her shortcomings, and the
fact that they were so often overlooked
by fond and doting grandmother,
looked SO disappointed at this reply
that Mrs. Bartlett fastened to add:
''The next time 1 passed the china
store the dear little tea-set was gone.
If I cried over the discovery, no one
knew it but the old willow who knew
and kept all childish secrets. For
long time 1 mourned the fac. that 1

punishment was hard, for my birth

day, but 1 knew 1 deserved it,
"Oh, DEAR" said Bertha, Il was so
in hopes that you got the tea-set after
ALL" well, dear, I did, after siS
months in which to think over my
wrong doing. Grandmothers Of your
day and grandmothers of mine were
very much alike, for when Christmas
came around my dear grandmother
put the tea-set into my hands herself,
feeling sorry for me, but knowing
deserved the punishment, she had
bought the little dishes and kept them
all that time"
well, 1 must say I think you did
very wrong, mamma, to get the shoes,
but still am glad you could have the
tea-set. Purple shoes! 1 don't think
1 ever could have wanted shoes of that
color."-The Interior.

"What was made for?' the old horse
said,
Munching cut straw in a wind-rifted

In all the wide world 1 haven't friend.
It's nothing but drudgery every day,
Toll without payment, work and no play:

I'm made to get up with merciless goad.
"Curses. cold quarters, hard usage. poor

And seldom a good bite of oats or fresh

Hard lines for poor horses when slaves

What eloquent sermons to men would VIC
preach!
Our merits and sufferings even now move
The hearts of the kindly to pity and love.
''The beast has his feelings, his needs.

Though few are the favors the poor horse
requires.
Our aim is to serve men, to love and obey.
If justice and mercy in turn would repay.

But makes US delighted to follow your

Then why. since the boon is so small that

Should it not always brighten the life of

Delicate Prints on Iron.

1t is a curious fact that has often
