When a small boy is delegated by

act of pOliteness in a nice manner he
almost invariably makes a fist of it.

cident which occurred at No. 3 public
school day or two before Christmas.

the small boy.
He was plain-spoken manly little
fellow. In his hand he held a package.
Walking uD to the teachers desk he
handed her the package, saying.
Here, teacher, is present for you. %
She took the wrappings off and ex-
claimed:
ut is beautiful beautiful"
The boy slraightened himself up
proudly and answered;
1T ought to be, for mother paid 30

The candOr of the youngster con-
vulsed his preceptor with laughter, and
she placed his gift at the head Of hei

In presenting books due regard should
be paid to the age and tastes of the re-
cipient. The Wayfarer hears of a
teacher in West Presbyterian Church

has cut his wisdom teeth. To one she

False Syntax Corrected.

There appears to be no end to the
humor of examination. Here is the
latest story that has come to us, and
that TO us, at least, is new. 1t appears
that at an elementary examination in
English which was lately held in a
school near New York city two SEN
fences were given out to be corrected
by the younger scholars. The first
sentence was to be corrected as to it's
subject matter and the second as to it's
syntaX. These were the sentences:
"The hen has three legs"
''Who done it p"
When the papers were handed in it
was found that one of the examines
had apparently regarded the sentences
as subtly connected in thought. for his
answer was as follows:
"The hen didn't done it; God done it,"

Uncle Jerry lives several counties

more prosperous brother, who likes to

posed the city in pursuit of fortune.
But Uncle Jerry is good deal of talk
er himself, and when his dander is up
can say pointed things about as fast
as rapid-firing gun can throw shot.

tie with the Spanish feet he says:

AFTER THE BALL HIT HIM.
Caney-An Age Before He Heard

First Lieut.. w. H. Wassell, Twenty

10 his parents in Pittsburgh, says: II
was shot about four o'clock on the
afternoon of July l while storming FL
Caney, northeast of Santiago. l was
looking through field glasses at the
time, and the ball cut through the
outer part of the little finger of the
left hand joint next to the hand,
then through the palm of my hand,
out just below the index finger, then
in the cheek about half an inch from
the left corner of my mouth, back
through my mouth, taking several
back teeth, downward through my
neck, still downward and toward my
spine, coming out about halfway down
my back, and about four inches from
my spine. | haven't bone broken. 1

being shot. We had been under fire all
day-the hottest rain of bullets that
men ever went up against. The Span
iards were all intrenched. They shot
us from behind their earthWorl1s,
blockhouses, trees and church towers.

up from the ground and whirled round

CERvERA.

Cam.s the order to Cervera: Put to sea-"
And the signals from the Spanish flag
ship futtered;
Decks were cleared and all the heavy guns
cast free,
While no word OF plant the noble foeman
uttered.
Sailing to annihilation,
On Cervera came,
For the glory of his nation
And the wreath of fame,
Then our roar
Shook the shore,
And each Spanish keel
In that main
Felt the strain
OF our bolts of steel
Wrapped were all our ships in battle fame
and smoke;
Stunned were all our ears by the inces-
SAINT thunder;
Forward like swift fox-hounds of the sea
we broke.
While the hunted Spanish foxes fed in
wonder.
But amid the awful rattle
OF that steely rain,
Strong Cervera watched the battle
Mid his mounds Of slain,
Till his crew,
Faint and few,
Melted as the snow
OF the hills,
When the rills,
OF the springtime flow.
Wrecked and burned were all his proud
and stately ships,
Riven by our shot and opened to the bill
low:
Every hulk winecup at the oceans lips,
Every broken gun a seaman's CORY pill
low.
So In one all-fateful hour.
That should famous be,
He beheld the Spanish power
Smitten from that sea.
Where of old
Waved the bold
Lion head of Spain.
Which shall roar
Nevermore
Ger the Spanish main"
