laurence Hutton Tells How Iic Succunb-
ed to n Temptation In His Youth.
The boy was taught, from tho earliest
awakening of his reasoning powers, that
truth was to be told and to be respected
and that nothing was more wicked or
more ungentlemanly than q broken
promise. He learned very early to do as
he was told and not to do, under any
consideration, what he had said he would
not do. Upon this last point he was
strictly conscientious, although once,
literally, he ''beat about the BUSH"
His Aunt Margaret, always devoted to
plants and to flowers, had, on the back
stoop Of his grandfather house, little
grove of orange and lemon trees in pots.
Some one of these was usually in fruit
or i'll flower, and the fruit to the boy
was a great temptation. He was very
fond of oranges, and it seemed to him
that a homemade" orange. which he
had never tasted, must be much better
than a grocer's orange. as homemade
cake was certainly preferable even to
the wonderful cakes made by the pro-
fessional Mrs. Milderberger.
He watched those little green oranges
from day to day as they gradually grew
big and yellow i'll the sun. He promised
faithfully that he would not pick any,
but he had a notion that some Of them
might drop off. He never shook the trees,
because he said he would not. But he
shook the stoop, and he hung about the
bush, which he was too honest to beat
One unusually tempting orange, which
he had known from it's budhood, finally
overcame him. He did not pick it off,
he did not shake it off. He compromised
with his conscience by lying fiat OH his
back and biting off piece Of it. 1t was
not very good action, nor was it o good
orange, and for that reason, perhaps, he
went home Immediately and told on
himself. He told his mother. He did not
tell his Aunt Margaret.
His mothex did not seem to be as
much shocked at his conduct as he was.
But in her own quaint way she gave
him to understand that promises were
not made to be cracked any more than
they were made to be broken-that he
had been false to himself in heart, if not
in deed, and that he must go back and
make it "all right" with his Aunt Mar
garet. She did not seem to be very much
shocked either; he could not tell why.
But they punished the boy. They made
him eat the rest of the orange.
He lost all subsequent interest III that
tropical glade, and he has never cared
much for domestic oranges since.-"A
Boy Knew" by Laurence Hutton, in
st. Nicholas.

The conferees upon the sundry civil
bill have agreed, and the most impor-
tant change is important to the Black
Hills. The amendment may mod
ify or revoke Cleveland's forestry
order, and it is provided that the lands
embraced in the reservations not dis
posed of before March LIST, 1898, shall
again DO subject TO the operations of
President Cleveland's order, or as it
may be modified by the president. The
general provisions for the government
of forest reservations are retained as
provided in the senate amendment. A
provision is inserted allowing settlers
in reservations to take other lands in
the public domain.

AS the French revolution began in
