T KINDNEssEs.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

If you were toiling up q weary hill,
Bearing a load beyond your strength to
bear,
Straining each nerve untiringly, and still
Stumbling and losing foothold here ana
there,
And each one passing by would do SO much
AS give n upward lift and go their way,
Would not the slight reiterated touch
OF help and kindness tighten all the day ?
If you were breasting a keen wind. which
tossed
And buffeted and chilled o as you strove,
Till, bafhed and bewilderedq quite, you lost
The power to see the way. and aim, and
move,
And one, II only for q moments space,
Gave you shelter from the bitter blast,
Would you not find it easier to face
The storm again when the brief rest was
pastf
There Is no little and there is no much;
We weigh and measure and define in vain.
Aiook, a word. a light responsive touch
Can be the ministers of JOY and pain.
A man can die of hunger, walled in gold,
A crumb may quicken hope to stronger
breath
And every day we give or we withhold
Some little thing which tells for life or
death.

HUNTING PERUVIAN GAME.
An Englishman's Account OF His Fin
Sport In the Highlands.

An Englishman's Account Of His Fine
Sport In the Highlands.
Hunting in the highlands of Peru is q
very enjoyable if little known sport, ac-
cording to an Englishman who spent
some days hunting from 10, 900 to 49,
900 feet above the sea on grassy plains
Or in valleys surrounded by high noun
tains. There is considerable small
~game-snipe, ducks, Gull Gull "a kind of
gronse) and quivio Ga kind of guinea
fowl)-but the game a sportsman out
for a day or two seeks is vicuna and al
paca. The vicuna is the wild llama and
is a shy animal with great vitality. re-
quiring neck or shoulder shots to kill
The alpaca is the mountain vicuna, liy-
ing on the coarse and scanty forage of
it's home region. Its wool is a foot long.
but SO curly and fine that it fits to its
body like a darky's hair. Both are relat-
ed closely to the guanaco of the Pata-
gonia deserts, which sometimes wanders
into the uplands of Peru.
The Englishman carried a 44-4O
American rifle and a 16 gauge shoteun
for small game.
Entering a large pampa, he writes,
1--WE sighted a herd of vicuna. We tried
to ride around them. but they made off,
passing Ashmore at about 400 wards.
Lying down, he opened fire, and a fine
specimen rolled over. We cleaned it.
loaded it on to a pack mule and rode ON.
soon striking another herd Of seven.
which at once made off, but my second
shot at 140 yards dropped one dead. This
we took. and soon after bagged two
brace Of culi-culi."
That night the hunters rolled up in
their blankets on the mud floor of a hut.
Hammocks strung from post to post
would have been better. Next day, after
a restful night, they "began to shoot the
valley adjacent to Caraguiri." Some of
the writer's bullets hit two viouna at
1870 yards, and some of the others hit the
valley. The dead animals were loaded
on the pack mules, and after going over
the summit Of an 10, 900 foot mountain
the hunters had the rare good fortune
for that region of jumping seven guiana
co, which ran too fast for the mules the
men rode and struck a gait across the
pampa discouraging to the hunters.
"But leaping from my mule" says
the writer, land sighting my rife at
400 yards, I dropped a bullet ahead Of
them, and the bunch of dust scared
them to a standstill. I then pumped
the remaining nine bullets into the
herd, and two fell dead"
A 1856 rifle would have been better
for such long range work, and a 40-82
still better. but no matter, the guanacos
were killed. One was 40 inches high at
the shoulder and weighed 140 pounds
dressed. The other was SO inches high
and weighed 70 pounds dressed.
The total bag was two guanacos, sew
en- %vicuna, seven brace of culi-culi, one
brace of quivio, five ducks, three snipes
and no end Of fun. The end of the hunt
was to the tunes of a banjo and a piano.

The Enterre Club Concert.

The concert given last Friday, in the
city hall, by the Euterpe Club, Of
Plattevi!le, for the benefit of the Pub
lie Library, was y decided success in
every way, Twentythree young la
dies of the club formed strong cho-
rus under the direction Of pnof Dixon
j. Churchill. and with Miss richards
as pianist. The program was we'll
chosen and was that printed in The
Democrat last week with the exception
OF No +. Prof. Churchill announced
each number, and the first one was Il
chorus. AS the young ladies tlitted
on, attired in pretty airy tinted gowns,
they made q pleasing confusion, and
when arranged in their places the
effect was 50 dainty that the audience
was prepared to be pleased with their
singing, and was not disappointed,
Miss Bailie's and Miss McCawley's
solos were we'll adapted TO their voices,
and the latter young lady promises in
the future to have IA powerful and
llexible as we'll as sweet voice.
1t is rarely one hears four sisters
with such fine voices as those of the
Hughes sisters. Theirs must be a
most musical family for they have Il
brother living here who also has Il fine
voice. Three of them sang here
about two years ago at Teachers
Institute, and show now that they
have given much time to the cultiva-
ton of their voices since then. Mr..
Churchill has very fine baritone
voice, and sang a ballad and some
charming little songs.
Miss Richards first solo was ca
price of MendelSohns with many gay
little ripples in it, and the other was u
brilliant arrangement by List. she
had so many accompaniments to play
that she was too fatigued to respond
to her encorcs, 50 she left her audience
wishing for more. Miss Geddes with
her high light soprano, and Miss
McCawley, with her full me22o, sang a
very pretty duet. The audience was n
very enthusiastic one, and heartily
applauded each number. The hall
was comfortably tilled, and had it not
been for the Primitive Methodist con
ference, it would doubtless have been
crowded. 1t plainly showed that the
people still have the good of the pnb-
lie Library at heart and also that they
know by experience that they always
get full value for their money at All
entertainments given for its benefit.
The net receipts of the concert were
about thirty dollars.
