Her Papa.

Ny papa's all dressed up to-day,
He never looked so enc.
Thought when first looked ut him
My papa wasn't mine.
He's got a beautiful new suit
The old one was so old
It's blue, with buttons, oh, SO bright
Iguess they must be gold.
And papa's sort o. glad and sort
o. sad-I wonder why?
And ev'ry tine abe looks at him
1t makes my mamma cry.
Who's Uncle Sam2 Ny papa says
That he belongs to him,
But papa's joking, cause he knows
My uncle's name 10 Jim.
My papa just belongs TO me
And mamma. And guess
The folks are blind who cannot see
His buttons marked U. s.
U. 8. spells Us. He's ours--and yet
My mamma can't help cry,
And papa tries to smile ut me
And can't-I wonder why2

The Battle of Bunker Hill.

You remember the story OF Paul
Revere's ride and the battle of Lex.
ington, April 10, 1875.
The British went back to Boston
that night, and for many days after
ward everything in the city was Just
as it had been for weeks before.
In the towns around Boston there
was q change. In every place meet
ings were held; men and boys left
work in the fields and became SOL
diers. The American army surrounded
the city and the British regulars did
not dare to come out. Sour soldiers
meant to get so close that they could
fire their cannon into the streets and
drive the British out of the city and
on to their ship. or perhaps back to
England. That is why they went to
Bunker Hill. 1t was near Boston.
The night before the battle the
Americans worked all night throwing
up huge bank Of earth to protect
them from the British bullets and can
non balls. In the morning the British
were surprised to see it. They sent a
part of their army across the Charles
river thinking that the plow-boys
and farmers would run as soon as thev
saw the real soldiers marching toward
them. They were mistaken. The
American army twice drove the British
down the hill, killing many of their
officers and men. By that time their
powder was all gone. The third time
the British came up the Americans
were obliged TO retreat toward Cam
bridge, for they could not fight with
out powder. The English claimed the

Curious Finds I'm Wool.

Wool sorters in Vermont often find
some curious articles upon opening
the bags or bales of wool to separate
the different qualities. The wooden
mill uses stock from almost every
country on the globe that produces
sheep. The other day long, strange
ly braided whip lash was found in O
bale of wool from Africa. This was
made of heavy leather, woven with
two strands, but upon investigation it
was found to be interlaced with great
skill, alternating strands. Among
other things sometimes found in wool
are pocket knives, whole suits of cloth
ing, money OF different denomina-
tons, shears, pieces of iron and
stone, the latter evidently being
placed in the sack to deceive the
buyer as to weight. Some years ago
a quantity Of big stones were found
tied within the feeces, increasing the
gross weight by half. Boston Tran

PUSSY and the Dumb Walter.

The Latest performance OF one of
Hartford's noteworthy cats, and by no
means the most intelligent Of the lot,
deserves recognition. 1t shows not
only deep affection, but an amount of
observation and daring that do credit
to the race. 1t seems that an album
dant mother, whose kittens were in the
basement kitchen of house there,
was herself by accident shut into the
dining room, which had no connection
with the room below except by way of
a dumb waiter.
After time there was q very strong
mutual desire on the part of the cat
and the kittens for a meeting. The
old cat meowed and that made the
little ones do likewise. BY way of
the shaft between the rooms the voices
were audible, and each cried the
louder on hearing the other. Finally,
in her desperation, the old cat, re-
Numbering that she had seen plates
and dishes ascending and descending
by the dumb waiter, deliberately
climbed upon the shelf and by her
own weight began to slide down to
tue family that so much wanted to see
her. Persons in the kitchen heard
the slide arrive and went to it to take
out whatever might have been sent
down, when out walked the cat, and
there was wonder in the kitchen and
peace in the cat family. Hartford

Hunting Four-Leafed ciovers.

Down back Of grandpa's barn was o
great field OF clover, and one bright
summer day il was full of--what do
you think? wavinglea and pretty
pink blossoms and bouncing yellow
bumblebees? Yes, so ii was, but that
wasn't quite all. Beth and Alice and
Kathie and Tommy and Ruth were all
down there hunting for four-leaved
clovers. And, oh, dear me, what .
buzzing they did make, to be sure!
'I'm going to find the first one!'
declared Alice, decidedly.
"No, you're notl' exclaimed Kathie,
"cause I ami"
And then Ruth laughed and said,
"No, you're not, cause I amp
And Beth Well, she said just the
very same thing, while Tommy-oh,
he hunted and didn't say anything!
But the sun was hot, and the four
leafed clovers seemed to play hide
and-seek, and the children couldn't
find single one of them-that is, all
the while that they stayed there and
hunted, which was just five minutes
by grandpa's big gold watch. And
then all the little girls gave up the.
search and went and sat, down under
shady old oak tree to get rested and
cool again II they ever could.
And the one little boy that was left.
there all alone pulled his big shade,
hat down over his hot little face and
went to work with will. Here and
there and everywhere Tommy hunted
until grandpa's watch had licked and
licked nearly five whole minutes
more. And then he shouted. For.
what do you think? Tommy had
found one, and two, and three four
leafed clovers, all in one little spotl
And how he did smile as he picked
them
''Tommy'salways lucky" said Beth,
discontentedly.
"Alwaysl" echoed Kathie.
"And that's the reason why he al
ways finds everythingl" exclaimed
Alice.
"Course it isl" said Ruth.
But what do you think grandpa
said? "It's because Tommy has per-
severance. my dears."
And ] know that grandpa was
right. Youths Companion.

SAD INDEED.

The San Francisco Examiner
makes a savage editorial attack on
the men who have sold acetic acid
capsuls to klondikers under a lime
Juice label and closes with the follow
ing surprisingly funny remark.
The most unfortunate feature of the
affair is that it will tend to give this
city a bad reputation.
1t would indeed be a sad thing, the
saddest thing in history, if San Fran
cisco should get a bad reputation, by
reason of adulterating its lime juice.
1t has adulterated its wines, its canned
fruits, its ~jellies and its olive oil ever
since it began the manufacture of
these articles when it suddenly wakes
up and draws the line at lime juice.
San Francisco is the resort of every
form of swindle that "a be perpetra-
ted, quack doctors whose ads fill
columns of the newspapers, robbing
turf gamblers, fake prize fights, stock
market steals, teal estate Swindlers,
bunco rackets, purchased courts, cor
rupted jurors and the like, and now
the Examiner fears that adulte1ated
lime juice will put an extra odor to
the already rotten egg.

NEWS FOR US.

The merchants of San Francisco
deserve and have the sympathy of the
people.-San Francisco Examiner.
Oh, we don't know! When the
San Francisco merchant had every
thing his own way-whe1 freight
rates were juggled to give him the
whip hand of the interior and Nevada
merchants-when it costs more for
freight rates from the East to Reno
than it did from the East to San Fran
cisco and back to Reno; when, III
fact, west-bound freight for Reno
would not even be taken off at Reno,
but had to go on to San Francisco,
and then be shipped back to Reno
the Bay merchant lorded it over the
Coast and made the interior pay tri-
butte.
These were the halcyon days of the
CARBON, and the serfdom of the in
terror merchants. In those times the
railroad magnate were all that is hon
orable, and good, and fair-minded,
and i1npartial-in his eyes, they were
public b~enefactors.
AS soon as the railroad directors
saw the evil of their ways however;
as soon as they comprehended that
they were milking two States to
make fatter the hog that squatted by
the Golden Gate; as soon as they
gave to interior ard Nevada points
proper freight rates-the San Fran
cisco merchant saw his trade ON
mencing to depart, and the railroad
then became everything that was vile,
and has so continued to the present
day.
We are not defending the company.
1t probably deserves a great deal Of
the criticism to which it has been
subjected. But certainly the last
person to denounce it should be the
San Francisco merchant, particularly
when his denunciation was born only
because the railroad company had
righted a wrong which it had perpe-
trated against others, in order that it
might swell his Golfers. If the COM
parry were again to go back to its
past iniquitous discrimination against
the interior and Nevada, this same
San Francisco merchant would again
rise up to call it blessed
Bee.
The above article will be endorsed
by everybody in Nevada, but it will
be news to most of us that the S. P.
R. R. has altered any freight charges
in favor of Nevada over California.

Elghty-seven old faithful Union
Pacific employees were discharged a
few days ago simply because they
were more than 90 years old. The
Chicago Chronicle notes that there is
little encouragement for a man whose
hair has grown white during his SER
vice in a corporation. He may be ex-
perienced and have been ever so faith
full, but age is against him and like
an old shoe he is thrown out the back
