FATHERS DOMESTIC HEADsHIP.
No Outside Success VIII Atone For a Nel
Iigence of His Home Responsibilities.

No Outside Success Will Atone For Neg
Iigence of His Home Responsibilities.
DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D., in
Ladies Home Journal writes concern
ing "The Fathers Domestic Headship:"
While, perforce of ordinary circum-
stance, the fathers duties will hold
him considerably apart from the con-
facts Of home life, yet whatever success
es he may achieve outside will not atone
for any failure ON his part to regard his
home as the prime sphere of his obliga-
tion and the point around which his de-
votements will cluster in distinguished
earnestness and constancy. Whatever
he may have achieved in his art, trade,
profession or other engagement, the
man who stands at the head of house
hold has been i'll the broad sense of the
term failure if he has not been a true
husband and wise, strong and devoted
father. 1t cannot be successful homo
where the mother looks after the chill
dren and the father looks after his bust
ness The most productive services rem
dered are always personal, and any
amount of exertion expended outside in
providing for the necessities of the home
will not take the place of that tuitional
ministry which comes only by the di-
rect and continuous contact of father
with child. However complete wom-
an may be as mother. there are quail
ties of character which the father will
communicate to his children that the
mother will be less able to do as we'll as
less intended to do.

One of the first things the observant
trained nurse does when new patient
enters the hospital and is put in bed is
to place a delicately constructed ther-
mometer under the sick ones tongue
and get the temperature. A chamber
maid from one of the down town hotels
was taken to one of the city hospitals
not long ago, and the above described
operation was performed at once.
"What in the wurruld are yez doing
that for?" she asked after the nurse got
through.
"I'm merely taking your tempera-
ture," responded the maid with the
muslin cap.
''Rats!" said the occupant of the sick
couch. "How are yez going to tell by
shat little thing whether I've got a
temper or not?"-Washingto Star.

THE COLONEL WAS MEAN.
For q big Man He Played Small Gam
With His Car Tickets.

For big Man He Played a Small Game
With His Car Tickets.
Colonel Blank was a big, pompous
man, as it behooves one to be who as
pires to military title without the
drawbacks of a military life. He was
always calling peoples attention to his
marked facial resemblance to James G.
Blaine, "the greatest man, sir, this CEN
tury and this country have produced. !"
And people-ill natured people, that
is-thought the colonel had vivid i'm
agination. There was a prodigality
about his physique that one somehow
expected to see repeated i'll the colonel's
character. And to hear the colonel hold
forth from the end of the boarding
house table over which he presided the
unsophisticated boarder would never
have doubted that such reasonable ex-
pectation would be realized ON closer
acquaintance.
What, then, was this unsophisticated
ones surprise to hear the doughty colo
mel, evidently i'll high good humor
with himself, say one day:
"Well, earned my fare down town
today"
That the colonel would stoop to earn
a nickel was remarkable; that he should
boast Of it was incredible.
"You see," proceeded the man of
military aspirations, II Went down in
the carette. Getting in at Schiller street,
the carette was empty, and went up
to the front and bought six tickets for
quarter. One dropped in the box.
Then as the car filed up I was exceed
ingly useful to those who sat farther
down, passing their fares up and depos-
iting them. An exceedingly polite man
they all thought me. And so 1 am, so
am. But instead of dropping their nick
els in the box dropped my tickets in

confiscated five nickels. had regained
my quarter and paid my fare. After
that l was not so polite. let people
drop their nickels into the chute which
the company provides for that purpose.
Awful nuisance, that chute. But it's
not my business to play conductor if the
company's too mean to hire any"
And the colonel called for another
cup Of tea, and the unsophisticated one
gasped to think Of tho smallness of
which such greatness was capable

LOCKED UP BY WOODPECKERS
The Fate of q Ground Owl That Had Take
Possession of Their Home.

The Fate of Ground Owl That Had Taken
Possession of Their Home.
Although the woodpecker is industri-
Gus, provident and peaceful, he is not
to be trifed with or tyrannized over
with impunity, as the following Incl
dent will show:
A companion and on an August day
pitched our camp at spring on the ta-
BILE lands of the ridge dividing DIAL from
Santa Clara valley About the spring
stands large grove of live oaks. In
one Of these not far from the tent door
pair of woodpeckers had for years no
doubt made their dwelling place. Some
what shy of us at first, the birds in a
few days paid little attention to our
presence. 1t frequently amused us
of sultry afternoon as we lounged up
on the buffalo robes laid on the shaded
grass to observe the birds with whose
labors the warmth appeared to have lit
tie to do.
We had camped there week or ten
days when before daybreak one morning
we heard a commotion about the home
of our staid neighbors. Our attention
was attracted by their shrill outcries
and the whir of their wings among the
branches overhead. 1t had no sooner
grown light enough to see than we
pushed back the flap of the tent door
and peered ont to ascertain the cause Of
disturbance
1t soon became apparent that little
tecolote, Or ground owl, at the approach
Of day had taken lodging in the hollow
occupied by the woodpeckers, to their
CONSERVATION. But the return of day
brought courage to the rightful owners,
and they resolutely set about finding
means to eject the invader. They tried
bluffing awhile about the only aperture
to the hollow tree, but to little purpose,
other than to cause the tecolote to peck
at them when they appeared to be about
to thrust themselves in.
At last, finding that neither threats
nor entreaties We're likely to be effect
i've, and resolved that if they were to
be deprived of their home 1t would be
the last of that tyrannical owl, the
woodpeckers brought presently from
another part Of the grove an oak ball Of
the size of the aperture and, driving it
tightly into the hole, withdrew to an
other hollow tree, leaving the bird of
prey Theoretically sealed up.
After several days, when we started
to return to San Buenaventure, the ball
was still in the hole, and the woodpeck-
ers, settled in their new home, were 60
ing about their business as if there had
never been tecolote. e.-Portland Press

PRIMITIVE FERRIES.
How Travellers In the Ozark Country Cross
the White River.

the White River.
The navigators of the White river
have no quarrel with the bridge build
ers From Newport, below Batesville,
for 200 miles, not pier profanes the
channel. Transportation from side to
side is by ferry. There is crossing ev-
cry mile Or two. Quaint and primitive
some of the methods are. Most of the
ferryboats are small, fiat bottomed
craft, without railings on the sides or
gates at the ends. At few of the most
frcquented north and south roads a ca
BILE has been stretched from the tree tops
high enough to escape the steamboat
chimneys. The boat is attached by
ropes, bow and stern, to pulley run
ming on this cable. When one line is
heightened to give the boat an angling
direction with the stream, the current
slowly carries the load over to the op-
posite bank. Such labor saving appli-
ance, however, is in use very sparingly.
Most Of the ferrying is done by hand
with the pole and sweep. AS the Ozark
country traveller approaches within hail
ing distance of the bank he begins to
let his voice out with:
"O-o-ov-er!''
In the course of time there is an an
swering:
"Whoop-ee"
The ferryman comes slowly down the
bank, with his brother, or his son, or
with somebody else's son whom he has
persuaded it is great fun to help run a
ferryboat Travellers in the Ozark coun-
try have often commented on the dis
proportionate frequency with which the
boat. is at the bank opposite to that
approached. And ferrymen all agree
that by a strange perversity the travel
is from the direction necessitating a
trip across and back to collect one fare.
There is time enough to mediate on
this problem while the ferryman slowly
poles his frail craft along the bank for
some distance up stream.
Then, as he grasps the sweep and
pulls out for the other side with much
putting and perspiration, there is not
time to think of anything else but the
inch Of pine between dry shoe leather
and a current which means long, hard
swim if the boat goes amiss. Accidents
are very few. The White river ferry
man knows his business and earns his
quarter.
George" said Mr.. Webber to the
Harvey who was directing the course of
the boat, sis that your brother helping
you with the boat?'
"Yes," said George, "hes my broth
er"
He resembles you, commented Mr..
Webber, "but think he's rather better
looking than you are
'That's because he's weller fed,''
said George. "His wife's good cook. "

WE'LL GET THERE ELI.

We have several times been asked the
question, do you Democrats expect to
carry West Virginia." To this ques-
ton we can answer most positively
YES, and by an increased majority.
There is not a State in this Union, I'M
der either Democratic or Republican
rule. that can show up better than West
Virginia. The Democratic party has
held the rains Of government in this
State for twenty-Six years, and We defy
the most disgruntlsd mugwump 10
show thar one cent OF tae public funds
have ever been E.isappropriated What
fault can be found with it's manage
ment Of the peoples business? The
Republican Legislature o. 1895 could
out TO investigate came back with only
words of praise. The State has pros
pered under Democratic rule. The
party has given the people an honest,
economical business administration for
twenty-six years. 1t has built colleges,
maintained splendid school system,
kept all the charitable and public insti-
tutions OF the State in splendid condi-
ton and no scandal has ever been sue
cessfully shown. There has been no
public defalcations. or no fraudulent
deals. Taxes have been kept reasonably
low. What better do the people want
or can they expect? The Republican
Legislature of 1895 did nothing to COM
mend itself 10 anybody. The school
law passed by it is a disgrace. Nothing
short Of a disgrace. II will cos. the
citizens of the State thousands OF dol
lars for no earthly good
The establishment OF the branch Uni
versity, was, if anything, a greater dis
grace. If the State had Geen searched
from one end to the other no less favor
able site for d college could have been
selected. To cap the climax, the thing
failed to make necessary appropria-
tions to.pay criminal charges. or for the
public printing. The appropriations
for the University were not sufficient.
Then came the long and tedious legis-
lation about the West Virginia polecat
or skunk.
