The Sand Laden Missouri.

Mr.. Frank H. Spearnian writes in St.
Nicholas of the freaks of the Missouri riv-
er, his article being entitled % A Shifting
Boundary" Mr.. Spearman says:
You must know that the real business
of the Missouri is to carry the mountain
waters east and south into the gulf CT
Mexico. But in bounding from side to
side of its valley through the tedious CEN
turtles it has twisted and turned so many
times that no doubt it's head is confused
Carrying the quantity of mud it does, you
would hardly expect it to be clear headed
There is actually SO much sand in the
water that the fish all have sore eyes;
some are totally blind, the saddest look
ing creatures you ever caught. A really
fastidious trout or bass dropped into the
Missouri would hang himself in despair"

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Enjoy Field Day In PortIa nd Descite +bs
Rain.

A very large delegation Of Knights of
Columbus from different councils in the
state, held field day in Portland yester-
day. The number would have been even
larger but for the threatening weather.
From o'clock until half past twelve
the knights gathered at Foresters' hall,
where they were entertained handsomely
and the time flew quickly in converse
ton and making new friends. At
O'Clock the steamer was taken to Long
Island. where bountiful shore dinner
was served at half past two O'Clock.
After dinner such sports were enjoyed
as the conditions of the grounds would
permit, and about 6 O'Clock the party re-
turned to the city and witnessed the con-
ferring of the third degrees.

STRONGER THAN IT LOOKED.

Tho Pull of Mustard Plaster LIS Not In
the Thickness of 1t.
Wilkins complained of not feeling very
well. His landlady asked for the symp-
toms.
"Oh," she returned, "put on a mustard
plaster and you'll be all right in the morn
ing.''
He took her advice. He went into a
near by drug store and asked for mus
tard plaster
The clerk took one out and began to
wrap it up.
"Say, that's sandpaper. want mus
tard plaster!"
The clerk explained that it was mus
tard plaster; that the old plaster of the
minoe pie pattern had gone out of style.
This is just as good?" queried the
doubter. cts hot ali right, 1 SUPPOSED"

clerk meaningly ringing up cents in the

as the plaster warmed up.
"Ill go to Sleep" he thought. eff it
gets too hot, I'll wake up"
Eyes, 1'll-wake up-if gets too hot
Mr.. Wilkins was snoring, and a clock
away down the hall was striking 10.
1t was A 80 O clock in the morning when
Wilkins began to feel the return of con-
seriousness.
1t was mixed and confused with dream
in which he had seen a miner standing
over him with pick and felt that great
hole was being dug through his ribs.
Wilkins snorted, turned over and writhed
with a grimace. Then he pulled the cloth
ing far from him, sat up and said, "Ugh!"
At O'Clock he vas in the drug store
again. He was bending over to keep bis
clothing from touching him.
The night clerk was still in charge, and
he grinned broadly.
"Let me see the place. he suggested
even before wilkins spoke.
There was a brilliant parallelogram,
by inches, just under the third button of
Wilkins vest, and as the air touched it
Wilkins WINGED.
"You'll have to be very careful or you'll
have bad blister there" said the clerk.
"Blisterl Say, can stand it. Tell me
the truth. How deep is that hole?'
Nonsense. Go out and get big, soft
linen handkerchief and I'll fix you up
Wilkins paid 35 cents for the handker-
chief and "a cents for cool, mussy paste,
which the clerk smeared on one side of it.
tNow, if you let your flannel next to
that you may pull the hide off with it,
warned the clerk in parting.
And Wilkins walks down these morn
ings to keep the elbows of wabbly street
car passengers out of his ribs.
''Feels as if 1 was all boarded up on
one side," he confdes to his friends.
Incidentally he says thata mustard plas-
ter isn't such cheap remedy after ALL

How did she know his heart was hersf
BE spoke no word
OF love to her. How did she know
That when she passed or touched him-so-
His pulse was stirred?
How did she read his secret thoughts
And never err?
How did she know her glances thrilled
His soul? That all his heart was filed
With love for her?
How did she know their life would be
One grand, sweet song?
To tell the truth, she didn't know
These things. She thought that they were

But she was wrong.

THE CHILD'S PRAYER.
Simple Lines That sweetly Linger In Our
Memories.

Simple Lines That Sweetly Linger In Our
Memories.
1t is said of that good old man John
Quincy Adams that he never went to rest
at night till he had repeated the simple
prayer learned in childhood-the familiar
"Now 1 lay me down to Sleep"
Is there not something touching in the
thought that these words, breathed from
the rosy lips of infancy, went with him
away down through old age into the dark
valley of deathP And who is there, man
or woman, for whom this little prayer has
not old, sweet associations? Who, hearing
its words, hears not, too, the memory
bells" ringing up from the golden plains
of childhood? 1t may be a man in pride
and strength of years. who has carved out
for himself an honorable name and destiny
in the world, perhaps the owner of broad
lands and proud homes, with heart grown
hard in its battle with the world
How many years was it? Twenty,
thirty, forty-no matter. At the sound of
the old CHOW lay me- they have all
rolled back their massive doors and we go
down through them to the old, red, one
story house where life first took it's morn
ing. We see the little window on the right
sido, close under the rafters. Well, we
slept sounder slumber and dreamed sweet
er dreams in that old garrett than we ever
have in our lofty chambers, with gilded
ceilings and snowy draperies. And what
of it, if the bed was straw one and the
coverlet made Of red and yellow patches"
of calico? We have never snuggled down
SO contentedly on our springs and hair
mattresses.
"Now lay me-" How softly sleep
would come and weigh down the eyelids
as we repeated the words after mother. We
can hear her very tones though it is so
many years since death silenced them, and
feel the soft touch of her hand on the pill
low and the tender lingering of her. kiss
upon our lips. 1t may be years since we
have repeated this little prayer, or it may
be that, in the din and struggle of life we
have forgotten it and that at night we
have lain down on our pillows never
thinking to give thanks for the day and
for the night
But sooner or later we shall ellie down
to Sleep when this prayer will be all our
souls can take, all that will avail of rank
or wealth or fame; whatsoever we most
prize in this world. But the little prayer,
the first, it may be, that we took upon our
childish lips, shall follow us as we sail out
under the solemn arches; follow us as
sweet, faint, tender air from the shores,
and when we casn our anchor, "the Lord
our souls shall take boston Herald.
