| Tha Boys Thirst For and His Desire to Inn
part information.
They were mother and son. She, a
womanly little woman, about 81 years
of age, while he, the spoiled and only
child, aged about six. AS they seated
themselves in the cabin one could easily
observe that the mothers thoughts
were not of her surroundings, but else
where, while the child, probably its
first trip on a ferryboat, was restless
and most observing.
The child said nothing, but did con-
siderable squirming in his seat until
the gong rang in the engine-room for
the boat to start, when, with awe in his
voice and his large brown eyes opened
to their full extent, he said in stage
one within the cabin:
whats that?"
That's the gong for the boat to
start"
what makes the gong go?"
"The captain"
"What does he make the gong &c
for?"
what does he want to start the boat
for?"
$50 we can go to the other side"
what 90 we want to go to the other
side for?"
ooh, don't ask so many questions.
Look out of the window and see all the
water"
(After a silence)-"Ma?"
Eyes, dear"
"How did all the water get there?'
God placed it there, my dear"
what did He put it there for? Didn't
He have any other place to put it?"
I'm sure don't know"
(After a moments thought)-"Oh, I
know why He put it therel"
"Yes?"
Eyes, so the boats could run across"
(After long silence, looking intently
at his mothers hat)-"Ma?"
"Well. dear?"
"You trimmed that hat, didn't you? ?"
"Sh-sh-sh!"
''Well, you did"
keep still and don't bother me, or I
shall be compelled to whip YOU
You did trim it, cause I seed you"
Gas she jerks his arm)-"Keep still"
'But you did trim it, just the same,
and you know it,"
"Will you keep still?"
(Between his sobs)-"Well, didn't
you trim it?'
"Tll whip you good if you don't keep
still"
"Well, you trimmed it, just the same"
AS the mother boxed the child's ears
and dragged him onto the deck. we
could hear through his boohoos: "Well,
you did trim it, and you know you did.

ROMANCE OF A RAZOR,
Father Priced the Weapon Which Had
Killed His Daughter.


Killed His Daughter.
A most conspicuous and tender in
stance of paternal affection was by
chance brought to the attention of the
writer few days ago as he sat in bar
Der chair patiently awaiting the remov-
al of the superfuous growth from.a neg
lected chin. While thus employed q
man, apparently German, entered the
shop and handed razor to the barber,
with a request that he would put it in
order as soon as possible. and" add
ed he, "be sure and not lose that razor.
I would not lose that razor for ten dol
lars
Naturally the barber was curious to
know why SO extravagant value should
be placed upon an ordinary razor and in
Quired the reason.
why" responded the German, that
is the razor that the sailor killed my
daughter with. You can see the blood
spots on the blade now. There they
are. Those black stains are my daugh-
ter's blood. They will never come out.
Ny daughter was good girl. Ever
since she was killed 1 never shave with
no other razor. L love her so much.
AS long as 1 live use this razor in men,
cry of my girl" 1t is difficult to aston
ish an ordinary barber, but this one
was struck dumb for awhile. Finally
he did recuperate sufficiently to ex-
claim: well, I'll be DANCED" The
statement of the owner of the precious
razor was found OF inquiry to be quite
true.
Two years ago the whole water front
was shocked by the foul murder of
young 15-year-old girl under circum-
stances of singular atrocity. Her father
was the keeper of a sailor boarding
house, patronized by whalers almost ex-
clusively. The girl had attracted the
attention of a half-breed Kanaka, who
wanted to marry her, but the girl would
not consent and repulsed him with hor-
ror and disdain. In a moment of jeal-
Gus fury the mad Kanaka seized the girl
as she was attending to some house
hold affairs and cut her throat, almost
severing the head from the body. The
razor about which the aged German was
so solicitous was the real, actual instru-
ment of the crime. San Francisco

caprices are past finding out, and they

jacket to keep it company in seclusion.
Women, however, insist upon having
some garment which they can slip on
tc save the wear of handsome costumes,
and they are in open rebellion. In Paris,
the black MORE skirt is the correct
thing to wear with the jacket in case
one is not crushed by ones couturiere's
scorn for them. A chic little affair of

is accustomed, and the naughty rooster
or quarrelsomc old hen will not hest
tate to knock him heels over head, IL he
comes between the wind and their no

He is very accomplishing bird. He
does not make any outcry. He simply
spreads his great wings and scars far
beyond the reach of his petty enemies.
He meets with the game scorntul
tyranny from the turkey buzzard.
1t is an odd sight to see one of the
latter swoop down upon flock of the
black vultures as they are gathered
about a dead chicken or other animal.
All the black ones scramble out of the
way, hopping, Tapping and making
their hoarse kissing sound-their only
note-and range themselves at safe
distance, where they wait patiently
until their big cousin chooses to take
his departure.
The two species are often found to-
gether, but there is evidently great
gulf between them, and the blacks
never forget their humble and respect
full demeanor in the presence of Ca
thartes Aura.
Along the lower Mississippi river, in
Mississippi and Louisiana, all the small
towns are protected from inundation
by high earthworks or levees, and the
space between the levee and the river,
called the batture, is a sort Of no-man's
land. Here garbage and refuse of all
kinds is thrown, and the floating houses
Of ho Acb
Such places are the chosen home Of
Br'er Buzzard. No one ever dreams of
molesting him. No one ever cares to come
near enough to brighten or disturb him,
and the life OF plenty and ease makes
him lazy and stupid. All day long he
sits on some tall cottonwood tree,
drawn up and detected, if the weather
be cloudy or cold, or standing with
wings wide extended, to catch the sun
light if the day is fine. This singular
attitude, with wings spread to their ut
most extent, is a favorite with both
Aura and Atrata, and they seem to be
able to maintain it for hours without
fatigue.
When the fishermen come in with
their loaded boats the vultures descend,
and crowd about the RATS where th3
fish are assorted, waiting until the
dead or worthless ones are cast aside.
A favorite morsel is the head of the
great river catfish, which is always cut
off before the fish is offered for sale.
The fishermen, like everybody elss,
recognize the utility of the vultures, and
encourage them until they become al
most like pets; and it is ludicrous to
see four or five of them seize fish head
| and pull like boys at the old-fashioned
game of French and English, tapping,
kissing and tumbling about the ground
in their efforts to drag the coveted
morsel away from each other. In the
midst of the ignoble struggle down
swoops Cathartes Aura into the melee.
The black fellows fall over each
other in their efforts to get out of his
iordship's way, and he calmly sails off
with the prize in his beak.
No doubt it will surprise many read

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The colored Baptists of this coun-
try gave last year SAL ,s97 for education,
$35, 1920 for missions and S21O, 794 for mis-
cellaneous purposes. They gave church
property to the value of 9,794,342 and
school property to the value of So ,02S,-

President Thwing, of Western Re-
serve university, Cleveland, says that in
the so years in the middle of the present
century somewhat more than 10000
men graduated at the eight principal
colleges of New England, of which num-
Der more than 1000 became ministers.
John Bach McMaster says in the
Atlantic Monthly that, in the beginning
of this century, sin our land there was
not a reformatory, nor an asylum for
the blind, for the deaf and dumb, or for
lunatics." And yet there are people
who believe that the world has been
growing worse and worse the last hun
dred years!
Announcement is made that tho
trustees of Columbia university have
presented to the institution $500, 900 for
gymnasium. It will be built on the
new site of the university, Morningside
Heights, and will be the largest and
best equipped as yet in the country.
1t will be a part of the great univer-
sity hall, the entire cost Of which will
he more than 81, 100000.
The statement is made from New
York that Gen. Booth is considerably
perturbed over the falling off in num-
bers and contributions in the Salvation
Army posts throughout the west. Com
mander Booth-Tucker's present aggres-
sive campaign in the west is understood
to be prompted by the generals urgency
and by desire to strengthen the army
in the leading cities. 1t is believed
that the Volunteer movement has cut
into the army badly, and it is now
claimed that the Volunteers have strong
posts in 400 western cities.
The New York court of appeals has
decided the Fayerweather will case in
favor of the 20 colleges which claimed
the residue of the estate under clause
ten of the will. This is the end of a
famous case, as this was the court of
last resort. The decision was unani-
nous with the exception of the chief
justice. AS a result Yale will receive
100000, while Rochester university,
one of the parties making the appeal,
comes in for $150,000, in addition to the
100000 originally received. Amherst,
Dartmouth, Wesleyan are among the 20
beneficiaries.
