There had once been q ladder reach
ing to the opening by which the cupola
was entered, but it had been taken away
for some reason. The opening itself
was very narrow, and only a thin per-
son could get through it.
Tom had often expressed his inten-
ton of going up. into the cupola, but
never tried it till one morning in June.
He induced me to go with him. We
managed to get into the garnet without
being seen, and then tried our best to
reach the cupola, but were unsuccess-
full.
Tom didn't give up, however, and sew
eral times saw him going to the gar
ret. At last, one night, he told me h.
had found a way, and said he would try
it the next afternoon.
The next afternoon was a half-holi-
day, and we sneaked up to the top OF
the house. What was my surprise to
find everything as it had been before
I had an idea Tom had rugged up a
ladder or something of that kind, and
in disgust I turned to go downstairs;
but Tom pointed out lot of empty
boxes over in one corner. Immediate
ly saw his plan, and we commenced to
arrange the boxes, one on top of the

other, on the joist below the hole.
Tom mounted first, and went through
the hole like an eel. Then followed.
I was stouter than Tom, and found
some difficulty in forcing my shoulders
through.
At last, I managed to get my head,
shoulders and arms on the outer side of
the opening, but there I stuck. [
couldn't get any further to save me.
Tom pulled and tugged, and [
struggled, but it was no go. Then we
both commenced to laugh. l made y
desperate effort-got little further
little further still-and then accident
ally kicked the top box, and over they
all notwithstanding, rattle-te-bang'
crash! The top box knocked part OF
the ceiling through.
J. Oh, horrors! What if DR.. William
should hear the noise? In my excite
ment let my hands slip till hung by
my armpits. Tom looked scared, and
said:
"You great gawk! What did you do
that for?''
This set me to laughing again.
"What are you laughing at, you
BOBBY? How are we going to get
DOWN."
This sobered me, and I began to think
of the perils of the situa ton. If l was
caught there I would get whipping.
If I let go I would drop through the
ceiling and break my legs. If I re-
manned there I would starve.
NY arms now commenced to tingle,
from their unnatural position, and told
Tom to give me pull. He valiantly
set to work. took hold of my coat-col-
lar and commenced to pull.
''Merciful powers! What's that?"
n strong pair of hands caught hold
of my foot, and the stern voice of DR..
William was heard saying:
what do you mean by coming up
here, sir? Come down this instant!
Don't you hear me. sir? I shall make
an example of you before the whole
school. Let go this instant, sir, or
your punishment will be doubled"
Did you ever hear of such thing?
Did the man want me to break my
neck? Did he think I wanted to go
through that ceiling like shot?
I heard the voice of Mother Hopkins
advising the doctor to pull me down.
Oh, how hated her at that moment!
The doctor took firm hold of the bottom
OF my pantaloons, and commenced to
pull.
Tom pulled above, and remained in
the middle. Something had to break,
and it was my suspenders! One but
ton, two buttons, and, murder, oh, nv
trousers! I heard scream from
Mother Hopkins, and then I fell.
The doctor picked me up and took me
downstairs. All the skin was rubbed
off of my left leggSand my right leg was
full of splinters. Mother Hopkins
bound up my wounds, and then the doc
tor whipped me before all the school.
Did Tom get whipped? Not bit Of
it. He waited till the coast was clear,
and then swung himself down by piece
of bellrope he found there.

very tightly, or don't attempt to crawl

Large Movement of Settlers.

The first week in this month witnessed
the largest movement of settlers to North
Dakota known to the history Of that state
1t is doubtful it a larger number Of actual
settlers was ever before moved at one time
in this country than the Great Northern
Railway took out of St. Paul on April 2.
The train consisted of 1852 cars of passen-
gers, household goods, farm implements.
ETC., and was divided in five sections. The
total number of men, women aud children
was 1851: They came from various states,
Indiana, Virginia and Missouri contribut-
ing more than any other. Many of them
are known as Dunk ards, or German Bap-
tist brethren, and went to join colonies pre-
viously located in the Turtle Mountain and
Devils Lake regions of North Dakota, where
their brethren have been very successful.
Many OF the newcomers will locate on gov:
eminent land, of which millions of acres
still remain open to settlement. The Dun
kards are American born and English
speaking. an industrious farming class, and
have already proven themselves an import
ant addition to the population of North Da-
k0ta: They have now along the Great
Northern Railway no less than seventeen
settlements in that state.

SANITATION AND HUMAN LIFE.
Nowadays Cities Are Nearly MS
Healthy as the Country.

Nowadays Cities Are Nearly as
Healthy as the Country.
In a recent letter on what sanitation
has done for human life Prof. Brewer,
of Yale university, said that no one
doubts that human life has been pro.
longed by the application of science
in the last SO years. How much mathe-
matically this amounts to in years. in
per cent, is an unanswerable question.
We can never have the data in figures
Even if we had our vital statistics COM
piled for that period men would differ
as to the relative values of the several
factors of this problem. Our great
cities would not exist-they could not
exist-without the aids of science. We
have had the ancient Egyptian and
Greek and Roman civilizations, which
were pagan, and later Christian civiliza-
ton, and all were powerless to convert
practices. Between the epidemics that
ragged from time to time aid the high
death rate in the best years, the popula-
ton of Europe as whole probably
scarcely increased at all for 1000 or
1900 years. This century came in with
out single city in Christendom with
1000, 900 inhabitants. Paris had in 1900
but $4,000; London and the suburbs,
in 1901, S64,s45. The other great cities
had less than 100000. Great cities
could not endure then. First, the peo-
pie could not he fed. Then, most of the
food had to be produced within 20 miles
If tho 1,1aca nj cOnS11mpfiOn Cc;opoo
has now made it possible 10 transport
food half way around the globe and
has discovered new methods of preser-
walton as well. City population was not
self-perpetuating. Man died off: the
death rate was continually high and
from time to time there was death by
pestilence. Even where there were
sewers they were to drain the ground of
aterrather than to carry away sewage.
Now cities are made nearly as healthy
as the country.-Scientific and Mining

THE TWO WAYS.

Two ways confront each soul who enters
life
The one leads upward to success,
The other downward through a devious
To bitter anguish and distress;
Ana every one may choose which way he
May toll and struggle up the sleeps,
Or lo1ter idly down q flowery path
That leads to endless, hopeless deeps.
The upward road is steep and hard to climb,
ana ne who chooses it must strive
With. great discouragements: his hands
must grasp
The Jagged rocks, the thorns must drive
Ihelr bitter points, and bloody footprints
mark
His way along the mountain side:
AND ne must carve the steps by which he
climbs
With his own hands. or woe betide.
And up the toilsome Journey, now and then,
Inc clouds may for a moment lift,
And through the fogs that lower on the
The sun may make tiny rift:
ana 1t perchance may be that some brown
bird
May cheer his soul with tender song.
Or growing near his feet, a violet
May cheer him as he plods along.
The flowers of friendship blooming by the
way
The sympathy of fellow travellers on the
Dries many bitter heart-wrung tear:
The to1lsome journey upward through the
night
Is lighted by the starlit eyes of love,
And when the goal is reached at last tits
Gods cloudless skies stretch out above.
The downward road is easy of descent.
It's way Is paved with idle hours;
The senses Swoon amidst the smothered
scent
or earth's most fair and rarest flow'rs:
The sound of song and laughter fills the air,
And music gayly leads the way
With dancing feet that tread the cleaning
light,
For on the road tits always day.
The birds sing ever in the glittering trees,
The brooks leap lightly in the sun,
And never cloud obscures the azure sky,
And never a bar of shade may run
Across the placid waters Of the lakes,
whose wavelets glow like new pressed
AS red as rose blood of fresh-crushed
grapes
That grow along the castled Rhine.

And everything invites to sloth
Fair Pleasure holds q veil before the eyes
And, blinded like a fluttering moth,
The loiterer seeks Kaleidoscope sweets,
TIL youth has fled and night comes on,
Then wakes to find his life an idle dream
A wasted flower. its perfume gone
Then choose to-day. before it is too late,
While hope still sings her lusty song;
The guide posts have been set by noble
souls
For warnings as they passed along.

ry Brown. DR.. William was the older
and had the chief management of af-
fairs. He was very stern man, always
ready to punish an offender. When he
found a boy in mischief he either SEN
fenced him to certain amount of work
or introduced him to the pleasures Of
the birch, welded by his own strong
arm.
Mr.. Henry was different from his
brother, in that he couldn't be severe
if he tried to. When Mr.. Henry at
tempted to be cross with boy all the
boy needed to do was to look peni-
tent, and he was immediately. for
given.
Mother Hopkins attended to the
household affairs. She was kind old
SOULFUL of remedies for bruises and
collie and kind words and gingersnaps-
but still she could box boy ears when
necessary.
Thus the school was conducted in a
very fair and comfortable manner, and
we boys were generally happy.
Tom Wisk was my evil genius. He
slept in the same bed that did, and
was in the same class. He was much
smaller than I, but quick, wiry and
smart.
I say that Tom was my evil genius,
and I mean it, for had it not been for
Tom I might have led a peaceable and
prosperous life; but, as it was, Tom was
always leading me into scrapes and
trouble. He never got into scrapes.
Oh, no! He always led me into them.
and then slipped out while I got the
punishment.
1t was Tom who asked me to climb
the old chestnut and get him robins
nest up in it's branches, because his
thumb was so sore he couldn't climb;
and, when l got up there, didn't he
throw a stone at the big hornets nest
and leave me alone to fight them?
1t was Tom who told me to give the
gingerbread heart, with the frosted
sugar on it, which my aunt had sent
me, to pretty Mary Smith, and, just
before we started for church, stole the
cake out of my pocket and put
wrapped-up piece of shingle in it's place.
Mary never forgave me for giving her
that piece of shingle, and Tom ate the
cake.
Tom got me into an awful lot 70
scrapes, but the worst one was when he
got me stuck in the garret. 1t hap
pened this way:
There was a small cupola on the top
of the school, where the big bell was
hung. 1t not only served as cover for
the bell, but was an ornament to the,
building, having little spires and fancy
work stuck on it. III ,.s -s..-'..fs
To reach the cupola, you had to go up
