Jack, who is only years old, cannot
yet read for himself, although he antici-
pates his requirement of that accomplish
ment at an early day with such eagerness
that he frequently declares he Is going to
kill himself If he cannot read when he is
6. He is always willing to be read to,
however, and fairy tales, children's books
and stories of all kinds, together with
Bible stories, all find in him happy lis
tener.
That he ponders on what is read to him,
making his own childish applications, may
be inferred from the following incident:
He alluded to his younger brother one day
as "a kid, for which, although it rather
amused mamma, she gently ohided him.
"But the Bible calls a little boy "a kid,
anyway" said Jack, anxious to prove
himself in the right. "In the story Of
Samson you read me last Sunday it says,
Samson visited his wife with kid.
A reference to Judges XIV, 1, proved that
Jack was literally right if not correct in
the application. New York Herald

health is the very thing he neglects more

little bit, it should be mended at once II

it. When man feels himself running
down, when he realizes loss of vitality
and energy, he must call halt. He is on
a down grade. The strands of his rope
are parting rapidly.

The Man With a Mission.

He burned with great ambition, for he knew
he had mission,
And that natures view in putting him on
earth
Was the great worlds elevation, and that since
his own creation
No mortal had been born of equal worth.
He was loaded with pomposity, and his Won
derful verbosity
Made him quite a prominent figure every
place he'd chance to stray
And one day, with bosom burning and his
heart for glory yearning,
He started out to ascertain wherein his mis-
sion lay.
First Of all he tried play acting, but his genius
not attracting
The plaudits Of spectators, who were beauti-
He retired in high dispeasure and decided at
his leisure
That he d write brand new novel, for which
fame would be his due
So he penned thrilling story, full of wit and
allegory,
But no publisher would print it, for it
wasn't worth durn.
Them with still unconquered vanity, he said,
with great urbanity,
That he thought his brilliant genius next to
legal lore he'd turn.
So in law he graduated and for wealthy eli
ents waited.
They didn come He saw that law would not
bring him success,
And, with vigor undated, this man with a
mission stated
That he d enter journalism and contribute to
the press.
Soon he found. to his confusion, that he suffer
ed from illusion,
For the articles he'd write off were in every
case sent back.
So, with much less self reliance, but still bid
ding fate defiance,
He said that next at business life he guessed
he'd take whack.
And he soon became broker in rice, cotton,
sugar Mocha
And in every other product that is dealt with
on exchange.
But panic came-he ''busted' and retired
quite Disguised
At the way fate always stepped in, his great
plans to disarrange.
Since then he's tried things many, but could
never earn penny,
And he's very much discouraged-you no
longer ,ar him brag
All his glory mas departed and lately heard
he'd started
At the only thing he's fit for--selling peanuts,
five bag.

Ode on Universal Patience,

Can one be patient, summer is not hot;
Can one be patient, winter is not cold.
Can one be patient, poverty is yet happy;
Can one be patient, long life may yet be pro.
tracted.
With impotence little evils change to great;
With impatience good nature at length be-
comes wolfish.
The benevolent endure what other men can
hardly bear;
The wise submit to what others never would
endure.
To repress anger and restrain the passions is
the square of patience
To wear the petticoat and be humble is the
rule of patience.
Patience is the watchword for laying the foun-
dation of perfection;
Patience is the watchword for forming the
root of virtue
Patience is the watchword to succeed among
barbarians and savages;
Patience is the watchword to rule the violent
and obstinate.
Can one bear toll and labor, one will have
superabundance;
Can one refrain from wild excesses, one will
be free from violent disease
Can one forbear tattle, one will avoid SANDER;
Can one forbear strife and contention, one dis.
sipates hatred and resentment.
Can one submit to abuse and raillery, one
shows his caliber;
Can one bend to thorough study, one accumu-
lates learning.
Once patient, all blessings come in company;
Once patient, every woe is burned to ashes
From the Chinese.

THE silver QUESTION.
A New View as Expounded In a Texa
Congressional Convention.

New View as Expounded In Texas
Congressional Convention.
Down in Texas the other day the
financial question was settled in few min
utes,' said a Texas representative to
Star reporter. TT was at meeting of the
Republican congressional convention of
my district and the delegates were largely
of dusky hue. The colored delegates
knew that there had been some talk about
the coinage of silver and gold at the ratio
of 16 to l, but they didn't know what 1t
was all about. The majority of them
seemed to think that 1t meant l6 more
dollars for every man in the future than
there is l now, and they were heartily in
for the passage of resolutions favoring the
free coinage of silver and gold 1t hap
pened, however, that there was present a
we'll posted white man, who wanted the
resolutions of the conventions to cor
respond with the Republican doctrine as
expounded by other conventions on the
subject, but he didn't know exactly how
to do it. His time came in a few minutes.
"'Gemmen OBJ de convenshun, said one
of the colored delegates, I'm somewhat

THAT was the opportunity the white
leader wanted.

Democrats. Washington Star.

The Old Church Bell.

We walk to church along the olden way;
We drink of peace from out the Sabbath day;
The worldly chain has loosed its links Of care;
The cry Of trade has vanished from the air;
Fen yonder clouds that gather at the west
Seem tempted halls for worship and for rest.
But silences awake us from our spell,
For we have lost the old church bell
That through the miles could send magic
voice
And summon men to sorrow and rejoice.
The temples ways are marching with the
times,
And now the gilded steeple sings IFS chimes.
And sweet it is, upon a morning fair,
To hear our hymns 60 floating through the air.
And oft they reach the sick one in his bed
And oft pursue the sinner that hath fed.
But twas not needful, and it was not WELL
To take away the old church bell,
For long it staid, true though lofty friend,
And might have been our comrade to the end.
Will Carleton In Everywhere.

an amount. Anyone can get this insur-

NV Shadow.


I have a little shadow that goes in and out
with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than
can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to
the head,
And l see him jump before me when jump
into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he
likes to grow,
Not at all like proper children, which is al
ways very slow,
For he sometimes shoots up taller, like an india
rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that there's
none of him at all.
One morning very early, before the sun was
up,
rose and found the shining dew on every
buttercup,
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant
sleepy head
Had staid at home behind me and was fast
asleep in bed.
