FAMILY FunIs.

One of the old residents of a Mas
sachusetts town delights the young
er generation with her stories of life
in the town 70 years ago, when she
was a little girl. Her father, with
his wife and children, and his broth
er, with wife and children also, &C.
cupied a great farmhouse which is
still in a state of excellent p%reserva-
ton in spite Of its years of hard
service.
my father and my uncle had a
common purse ." said the old lady
to a young visitor who was begging
for "reminiscences of that bygone
time, ''and all the family expenses
were provided for from the funds it
contained.
"There were II children in our
part of the house and 10 in my
uncle's, so that it took a good deal
to provide us with food and cloth
ing.
my uncle had the reputation of
being a little more prudenti in money
matters than was considered neces-
sary by my father Or any nj &C.
quainted with our affairs, SO I have
heard since. In those days the chill
dren of both families knew by in
stinct that my father was the person
to whom an appeal for some desired
bit of finery OF what we called 'un-
n~ecessaries' had better be made. The
common purse seemed to have
greater powers of extension in his
hands than in my uncle's.
IT well remember my pretty Cous-
in Myra dancing with delight when
she was on the eve of her sixteenth
birthday. I'm to have a piano aft
er all, Jennie she cried, giving me
a hug. Father was very doubtful
about it, but Uncle Amos told me
not to worry, for if father couldn't
afford to give it to me he could. ~

Had Been There Himself.

A well known Washington naval dig
nitary has a beautiful daughter. A GER
tain young ensign with no u but
his slender salary fell in love with her
and asked the old gentleman for her
hand. The father at once taxed him
with the fact that he had only his sal
ary-hardly enough to keep him in
white gloves and to burnish his brass
buttons.
"Well, MI. Admiral, what you say
is true. But when you married you were
only a midshipman, with even a smaller
salary than mine. How did you get
along?" asked the ensign, who believed
he had made the most diplomatic of de-
lenses. But not so.

FROM MIDDLETON TO MIDDLETON

When we set out a-iourneying, my baby girl
and /,
1t really is a wonder how the way goes fleet
ing by.
The course is from the sitting room, her
charger is my knee
And the minstrel music with us is her little
laugh of glee.
ooh, from Middleton to Middleton it's eight
cen miles,
But from Middleton to Middleton it's nineteen
miles
(Which Is just a freak in distance which my
conscience reconciles
Eith tho theory that baby songs are full of
tricks and wiles)-
On, from Middleton to Middleton it's eighteen
miles,
Her grandma is SO jealous when we set about
our trip.
She claims to see u tear shade in the culver of
her lip.
She says the way is rocky and the steed Ia
roughly shod,
But we tell her of another path that's smooth
and clear and broad.
We never have arrived at where we set about
to go,
For always on the journey baby's curly head
drops low,
And then l draw her closer, closer, closer to
my breast,
And the steed is turned to pasture and it's rid
er is-undressed
'Still from Middleton to Middleton its eight
cen miles,
And from Waddleton to Middleton it's nine
teen miles,
And the breezes bring Il murmuring from
drowsy afterwhiles,
And u little prayer is uttered for IL life to know
no trials
Oh, from Middleton to Middleton it's eighteen
miles"

LlvlNGSTONE's FIRST EXPEDITION.
The Prosecutions of the Beers First Start
ed Him to the Wilderness.

~ fhtoi 1NI WV
The Prosecutions of the Beers First Start
ed Him to the Wilderness.
Between Livingstone and his Boer
neighbors there was little love. He
accused the Beer farmers of cruelty
to the natives, and they resented his
Interference and threatened to drive
him out of the country. He publish
ed their misdeeds in the Cape news
papers, and in revenge for his stric-
lures they finally set fire to his house
and burned him out.
This it was which first induced
Livingstone to travel to the north,
in hopes of finding a land where he
could follow in peace his vocation as
missionary and where the Boer
farmers could no longer modest him.
In his search for the ideal territory
he had in view he entered regions ut
terly unknown to the best informed
~geographer, and made many discov-
cries of Importance. 1t a then that
he discovered Lake Ngami and the
southern feeders of the Zambezi. 1t
was from this motive that he was led
to continue his journey across the
Zambezi, to follow it's curse to its
head waters, and to make his way to
San Paul de Loanda in Angola, and
this was why he retraced his steps
and followed the Zambezi to the east
ern ocean, where his first series of
remarkable adventures terminated
after sixteen years of travel.
just as the Boer persecution had
started him on his explorations and
diverted him from his cherished mis-
sionary work, SO the great reputa-
ton he obtained by these brilliant
feats of travel and valuable discov-
cries of great lakes and rivers tended
to separate him still further from
his true role. He had revealed the
existence of a tropical world, of lux
uriant savannas and extensive for
ests, where animal life was prolific
and the vegetation was of marvellous
variety and growth. The Zambezi
river was 2, 900 miles long, the lakes
were full of sweet water, the soil
was fertile and we'll repaid cultiva.
ton, the native products were varied
and useful, and as for the natives,
when let alone by the rowing Arab
and unmolested by the Portuguese
half caste, the account of his long
residence among them and his many
adventures with them proved that
they We're a good deal better than
English people had any notion of.
However, the slave trade was ram
pant in the interior, whole districts
were being devasted, and thousands
of human beings annually perishing
through the bloody violence adopted
by the Arabs. The sights in the slave
ships hold we're not to be compared

pared for the use Of the State Histori-
cal society for its library and museum;
and that it shall be the duty of the
state executive council 10 instruct the
board of public works and state archi-
tect to make such changes in the rooms
mentioned as may Unnecessary 10
carry out the purpose of this resolu-
ton"
The resolution was introduced by
Representative Caldwell of Lawrence,
to whom had been referred the recon-
mendation of Governor Morrill, that
special arrangements should be made
in completing the capitol building 10
provide ample and commodious rooms
for the society"
The resolution passed the legislature
and il was thought the executive coun-
Gil would grant the concession and all
would be well. When the council be
gan TO look around, however, 10 see
where it would put all the various de-
partments, It was found necessary to
utilize the east wing for another pur-
pose. SO the bank commissioner and
the other department officials were al
lowed TO come in. There seems to be
no disposition TO totally ignore the leg
islative resolution, as different men,
bers of the executive council say that
the people now in the east wing are
only there temporarily. In proof OF
this, they use the fact that no improve
ments whatever are being made in the
old rooms Of the east wing, which would
be desired If the new occupants were
in there permanently.
There are some members OF the coun-
ell, however, who feel as though the
Historical society with the rooms they
now have and those occupied by the
railway commission, with other rooms
in the basement of the south, east and
west wings would have plenty Of room
and then some TO spare Yet there IS
no disposition on the part Of the mem
bers of the council TO slight the society
as most OF them are members Of the So
ciety, and all of them its friends.

Lost in a Storm.

Frank Kempfer, Billie Roach and Tom
Mcdonald left Tuesday morning for a
few days hunting in Moose park. They
camped near the old brick yard, and
hunted toward the head of the park. On
Tuesday afternoon they found a band of
five deer near the main divide to the
west, and were successful in killing two
of them. The rest they followed into
the head of Tendcrfoot gulch, when the
boys separated, Kempfer and Roach re-
turning to camp to dress and care for
their game, while Mcdonald continued
on the trail. THIS was the last they saw
of him. He was going into a deep will
derness, wholly uninhabited, and seldom
crossed by anyone, where for a distance
of twenty miles the country is nothing
but steep, rugged mountains and gulches
filled with underbrush and fallen timber.
He was poorly clad for such a journey,
especially as a blizzard arose that night,
and he was soon unable to retrace his
steps, tloundering about in three feet of
snow. The storm has since been inces-
SAINT. He had a gun and a pocket COM
pass. His comrades, after dressing their
deer, set out to find Mcdonald, hunting
for him till midnight. At daybreak,
Wednesday morning, they renewed their
search, securing the country toward Ten
derfoot creek but to no purpose. The
snow was nearly three feet deep, and
progress was quite slow and labored.
They made a renewed search Thursday
but came back to town in the evening,
relating the above story.
MI. Mcdonald was about 30 years
old, a blacksmith at the Broadwater
stables and has been in camp for about
a year.
Later:--Ycsterday noon word reached
town that Mcdonald had fond his way
to McGibbon's wood camp at the head
of Shorty creek, and that he was in a
| distressed condition he still was safe
from further danger.
