DEFENSE OF a CASTLE IN 1850
What Young John Pastor and His
Men Did.

What Young John Pastor and His
Men Did.
Sir John Fatolf had by his will de-
vised his castle. called Caister, 10 John
Pastor. AS a fertilization it was an
excellent defense against foreign in
vaders, and as a residence IL was
worthy of royalty Itself says the Sc
vance Review. In fact, the Duke of
Gloster. afterward Richard III, at one
time contemplated making it his
abode While Pastor was trying TO
establish his title in the courts the
Duke of Norfolk purchased pretended
claim to 1t and sought to gain posses
sion by force. The PASSIONS did not
propose to yield, though the duke was
then probably the most powerful no
bic in England, and John Pastor was
his liveried servant. -Four professional
soldiers went sent up from London to
aid in the defense. They are described
as "proyyd men, coming in WEIR and

Young John Pastor, aided by these
four and by a handful of personal
friends and followers, held the castle

Auntie Maud's Story.

Twas such dark and stormy after
noon, and though it was only three
O'Clock, the children were tired of their
play and were longing for something to
do, when Dorothy happened to think of
Auntie Maude. Away she ran to find
her and to beg her to to tell them a
story. At last she found her in the
library and exclaimed, ga story, story
about girl, Auntie Maudep'
''No, about boy" said Roll.
"a story of venture" teased Rob.
"But why not one of girl and boy
and venture, too," asked Auntie
Maude.
And this is the story she told; a true
story, too.
''When Joe and Sue Watson were 9
and 6 years old, their parents moved to
Kansas to live out on a ranch. This
was very great change for them all,
for they went to western Kansas. where
there were no trees, just sand-hills,
grass, thistles and cactus and no pretty
little runs or brooks like they used to
wade in on grandpa's farm. But Joe
and Sue found great deal to interest
them in their new home, and so did not
miss companions as they had expected
to, for there were no boys or girls for
them to play with as their nearest neigh
Dor lived five miles away.
'sThe sod corral and sod stables were
being built when they arrived, and it
was such fun to watch Jim Crow plow-
ing up the sod and to ride behind. his
oxen when they hauled the big pieces of
turf to the spot. One OK was "Cherry"
and the other he called "Buck; - it
amused the children very much to hear
him call out "Gee, Cherry" and 'Haw,
Buck" and to see them turn to the right
or left as he had said.
'sOther men were at work digging a
great big well, and when it was finished
they put in a Windmill and built long
troughs for the sheep to drink from
when the windmill pumped the water.
All over the prairies were hollows, long
and broad, which were called buffalo
wallows," because they had been made
by the herds of buffalo, wallowing to
brush away the flies and mosquitoes and
to shed their coats; for you must re-
member, there were no trees or such
things for them to rub against. Those

HOW TO DO 1T.

Liked nothing fried,
Which made his faithful wife decide
To boil the doughnuts quick and hard.
In pot of hot and kissing lard.

And ate them, holes and all, himself.

But these are boiled"

WHAT HE SAW.

One little star came out to see
How fair the night was going to be.
He smiled at the church and at the
steeple,
He peeped at the homes and at the
people.
He saw and heard somebody cry,
And-back he popped into the sky.
"Oh, don't come out 20 cried the little
star,
It's much more pleasant where we
are.
