A pretty little incident is that told
by Miss Edgeworth, in her recently pub

who was very sick, very old, and fast

him and found him in bed, CHEEKY and

Then poor Sammie homeward ran.

And kissed her twice, and then he said:

q romance of the American revolution
entitled Maurice and His Father" A
brave little English lad is separated
from his father and falls into the hands
of the Americans. His father after
wards embraces the patriot cause and
his son is restored to him through the
medium of Washington, as shown in
the following extract:
Maurice was informed that Gen.
Washington was there showing the
works to Gen. Lafayette, and his heart
began to futter and thump within him.
Barney was sitting beside him, look

Maurice ventured to ask for directions.

Judge Gilbert did not speak, but he
looked inquiringly around and some
one ventured to explain:
"Lieutenant governor, you see."
"Ah!" was the brief reply to that.
When the court adjourned Judge Gill
bert went to his hotel. On the way there
the party stopped at the First national
bank, where Gov. Hauser was intro
duced to him. In the afternoon they
dropped into the courthouse and visited
the state offices. There was another
experience of the same kind for Judge
Gilbert there.
"This is Gov. Tooker," said one of the
members, as they passed through the
office of the clerk and recorder.
And even then Judge Gilbert did not
meet the governor of the state, for that
official was out of the city on official
business at the capital of the nation.

There was deadly silence all around.
No enthusiasm, no shouting, no jubila-

to me:

record, and one that will never be for
gotten by those who had the good for
tune to witness it. The preliminary
canters gave supporters of the favorite,
Windemere, great cause for much graf
ification. He certainly looked like n
grand creature, fit TO run for a kings
ransom.

Pero. Yes, he was there all right, but
what an ill-favored looking animal COM
pared with the others. His jockey, too,
was merely a stable lad, but l thought
that 1 detected a CLEAN of confidence
in his eye and look of fixed determine

"Now they're off," is the cry. No, it
is false report. The favorite has
broken away. His supporters standing
around me are quivering with excite
ment, ard many of them gave vent to
audible groans.
The horses face the starter once more
and in another minute we see the white
flag fall, and know that they have been
dispatched on their fateful journey.

he is nearly last. The corner is turned
with Windemere well in front.
"The favorite wins!" The favOrite

But what is that steadily creeping up
on the outside? AS l live it is Don
Pero! But stay! The favorite appears
to be holding his own as the korses
race into the straight. But Don Pero
will not be shaken off, and he gradual
ly bears the leader down, down, as they
near home.

cry that rings in my ears. Ten thou

into one gigantic roar as the horses
reach the winning post and the blue
riband of the turf is once more won.

WHERE FISHES SWIM.

This Tells How Amy Bright Boy Can
Make a Waterscope.
If you go to the lakes or to the sea-
shore this summer you should take
waterscope along with you.
A waterscope is device WHICH will
enable you to peer down to the bottom
of lake or stream and see the sea-
weeds, with the fish resting among
them. Any boy can make one of them
very easily, and he can have no end of
fun using it.
The waterscope consists of a long,
narrow box, covered at one end with
glass-ordinary window glass. TO make
it get four pieces of smooth, straight
grained pine wood, one-quarter of an
inch in thickness, 90 or "a inches long
and 2% inches wide. Have these pieces
made true and exact in measurement.
Carefully tack them together with
brads in the form of long box. 1t may
be well before joining them to daub on
T. little white lead paint, SO as to make
the joints watertight. Now cut piece
of glass the size of one end of the long
box. You can readily cut glass with an
old pair of shears by holding it under
water. Fasten this piece of glass to the
end of the tube by means of few small
lacks driven close to its edges. Then
putty it carefully round, and, when the
putty is thoroughly dry, paint the box

a Cheerful Face.

Next to the sunlight of heaven is the
cheerful face. There is no installing
1.-THE bright eye, the unclouded brow,
the sunny smile, all tell Of thac which
tlwells within. Who has not felt its cleo
;rifying influence? One glance at that
face lifts us out of the mists and shad-
ows into the beautiful realms of hope.
One cheerful face in the household will
Keep everything warm and light within.
II may be very plain face, but there is
something in it we feel, but cannot
express; and its CHEEKY smile sends
The blood dancing through the veins for
every joy. There is a. world of blessed
inagic in the plain, cheerful face, and
we would not exchange it for all the
soulless beauty that ever graced the
fairest form on earth.--Detroit Free

Don Pero should finish last, as on form
he undoubtedly should, then my voca-
ton was gone, and with it, perhaps, my
bread and cheese, to say nothing of the
other luxuries. 1t was in no happy
frame of mind that made my way to
the press box.
My entrance gave the cue for burst
of hilarity, and my reception was ex-
ceedingly warm. They chaffed me I'M

and putty, taking pains to fill all the
cracks. This is necessary to make the
box watertight.
In a day or two your waterscope will
be dry enough for use. On some bright
sunny afternoon push your boat out on
the lake or stream where you wish to
experiment. Thrust the glass end of
the waterscope we'll under the surface
of the water and place your eye at the
other end. You will find that you can
see through the water with great dis
tinctness, often to the hiding places of
fish among those forests of the lake
bottoms, the seaweeds. The object of
the waterscope is to cut through the
disturbed surface of the lake where
your eyes from the reflection of the sun
on the water. OF course it does not act
like telescope, and you cannot see to
the bottom where the water is very mud
dy or where it is very deep.
But you will be astonished at what
1t fairyland of beauty the waterscope
will reveal along the edges of some OF
our clear lakes on a sunny day. Often
you can see big clam, with his mouth
wide open, waiting for his dinner to
drop into it, or a lazy pickerel or a
sunfsh resting near the bottom, and
sometimes you will see lost objects of
various kinds, including trolling hooks
and lines and other things of similar
nature. The writer once knew n man
who found watch he had dropped into
the lake by means of waterscope.-
