Jake stepped up to him. His face was

The boy screamed and began to cry as

A little crowd OF school boys came

red hands and stamping their feet to
keep them warm. They were talking
loudly about the freezing Of the creek.
One pulled his tattered cap further

A Peculiar Trade.

A Chicago man has just traded a
collection of cancelled postage stamps
for modern hotel at Hurley, Wis,
valued at $4,000. B. s. Ross is the
name of the philatelist (his friends
called him a crank, who twenty years
ago, began the collection of local and
foreign stamps.
He accumulated them by the million.
Then came the opportunity to dispose
of portion of them for small fortune
in the person of the young son of John
e. Burton, wealthy mine owner of
Hurley. Mr.. Burton owned the hotel,
which has eighty rooms and is one of
the best known in the state.
His son had for several years been
an ardent stamp collector, and was de-
sirous of going into the business for a
livelihood. Ross was willing to take
the hotel in exchange for a sufficient
stock of stamps to set the young man
up in business with.
1t took about 3,O0O,00O stamps to buy
the hotel, and Mr.. Burton and his son
were engaged for nearly week in
counting out the $4,000 worth. The
stamps were piled high in an express
wagon. There were in the lot stamps
ranging in value from 10 cents per
1000 to one for 1880.

TIE VALUE OF GOOD HABITS.

Boys and girls who grow up without
forming bad habits generally make useful
citizens and seldom lack for employment,
writes John Jackson. One OF the most
common habits that boys OF the present
time are learning to follow is that of
using tobacco in some form. Ask the
merchant banker or railroad manager If
he prefers to employ young man with
this habit Profane language is another
habit that has become so common as to
attract but little attention. Yet how little
excuse there is for its indulgence. 1t
shows lack of refinement. or thoughtless-
ness on behalf of others. and every true
gentleman will try to avoid it. As we all
have more or less influence in society,
and as our everyday habits have much to
do with the influence which we exert,
we should cultivate habits of pleasing
and agreeable nature. and avoid all those
that seem coarse or vulgar.

THE PoP-coRN MAN.
There's queer little man lives down the
street
Where two OF tho broadcast highways meet
In queer little house that's half Of 1t
glass;
With windows open to Ill who pass.
And low little roof that's nearly fiat,
And chimney as black as Papa's best
hat
Oh, the house Is built on this funny plan
Because it's the home OF the pop corn man.
How does he sleep. II he sleeps at all:
He must roll up like rubber ball.
Or like squirrel, and store himself
All huddly-cuddly under the shelf.
II he wanted to stretch he'd scarce have
space,
In his bare little, spare little. square little
space.
He seems like rat cooped up in a can,
This brisk little, frisk little popcorn man!
know he's wise by the way he looks.
For he's just like the men Pve seen In
books.
With his hair worn of, and his squinty
eyes,
And his wrinkles. too,-oh, l know he's
wise
And then just think OF the way he makes
The corn all jump into snowy flakes,
With ''popl pop! pop!" in his covered
pan.
This queerlittle, dear little popcorn man.

Two Musical Pyodjoies.

Most Of the boy prodigies who have
come to the front of late years have
been musicians. Two very noticeable
examples of this variety of child won
der are still fresh in the minds of New
Yorkers-Josef Hoffman, the boy pian-
list, and Bronislaw Hubermann, the
boy violinist. Hubermann was born
in Warsaw in 1888, and after few les
sons from local teacher was placed
under the tuition of Joachim. He
seemed to learn both the technique and
the forms of composition by instinct.
Joachim declared be could teach him
nothing, and when Goldmark heard
him play he said that hereafter he
would believe in miracles. When he
was here last year at the age of 10,
he was one of the finest professional
players on the violin in the world.
Little Josef Hoffman was a profess
sional pianist as well as a composer
when he was seven years old. lie was
born in 1877. He was compared with
Mozart, who at the age of four was a
good player and at five years was at
tempting composition. When Mendels-
sohn was twelve years old he had COM
posed five symphonies, two operas and
part of third besides a great number
V fugitive pieces.

With q terrified look Barclay crept
closer To her rather as she said:
"Oh, please, couldn't wake him;
and was afraid they would discharge
him."
WELL" said the Mayor. "who made
the clock striker"
Il did," said Barbay. trembling all
over.
"You," said the Mayor, looking her
over carefully-"yo made the big town
clock striker"
please. please. don't let them do
anything to Father!" said Barclay. Il
tried SO hard to do 1t right"
She half sobbed out the last words,
as her head went down on her fathers
shoulder.
The Mayors eyes threatened to, give
him trouble. as he said kindly:
Come here, little woman. Do not
be afraid. No one shall do anything
to your father that you do not like.
Come and tell me how you made the big
clock strike"
Encouraged by his words and by the
tone Of his voice, she loosened her hold
of her father and had soon given an
account of how she had tried to be the
Town Clock.
ibid I count all wrong?" she asked,
wistfully. "Oh, it was so dreadful"
The Mayor put his arm round he's
gently and drew her to him, his e.ea
glistening and a lump rising in his
throat, as he thought of all she had
gone through.
You are dear, brave little woman"
he said, earnestly, brushing her hair
back from her eyes. Eyes, you count
ed all right and everybody knew what
as though it was almost too weak and
time it was; but the old clock sounded
too tired to strike; that was ALL"
And they won't discharge Father?"
"No, he shall not be discharged; but
l think we must see that he has a few
days rest before he goes to work
again.
"Oh," gasped Barbay-oh, how
beautiful! Then I don't mind-no, /
don't mind anything" putting her
head on the Mayors shoulder, she
burst into tears.
The next day the story was told all
over the city of how the tall tower had
been struck by lightning and the Town
Clock had been stunned and uncon-
scious for hours; and of how Barclay,
who had been stunned too for a few
moments, had tried to be the Town
Clock herself, so that Father, dear
Father. might not be discharged.-The
