JOHNS PROMOTION.

To be summoned to a private con-
versation with the senior partner, or
"Uncle Sammy, ashe was often called,
was considered a crisis in the career Of
a clerk. 1t generally heralded pro-
motion or dismissal, and John Ray
mond, who had received such a sum-
mons, had every reason to think that
in his case, at least, it meant the latter.
He had tried his best, ever since COM
ing into the store, to please his employ
ers, but his own common sense told
him that as clerk he was not sue
cess. Clerks, like poets, are born, not
made, and John Raymond was not
born a clerk.
Good morning, Mr.. Raymond, take
a chair, said the old gentleman in a
kindly tone, turning around from his
desk as John entered. 81 have a few
words, which, for our mutual benefit
I must say to you. You have been
with us now six months, and We find
your services to the firm not paying
investment. am sorry this is so, if
YOU wish to stay with US, for we must
fill your place with competent man.
I believe it my duty to tell you that
behind the counter you are not sue
cess.
"Give it up, my boy, and try some
thing more to your tastes. There is
success in this country for men like
you if you only get into the right place.
You can't FIJI a round hole with a
square plug, and no more can you
make merchant Of man whom ma
ture has fitted for other walks in life.
Sir, hope you take this as l mean it
for your own good"
The old man did not look up at the
other, but sat polishing his spectacles
industriously. The young man sat
with bowed head for a moment, then
rising, he said
81 take this kindly Of you, sir, and
thank you. I have felt all along that
l was a failure, and would have re-
signed only-well, you see, father has
set his heart on it. l thought that
perhaps 1 might do better. l regret
now that l did not save you this trou-
Bile, sir"

dear John, and God be with you
Yours,
UNCLE SAMMY.

"Shall we take Uncle Sammy's ad-
vice" asked John after moments
silence. She did not reply fora mo-
ment, then going round to his side she
placed one hand on his shoulder and
looked down into his face.
Johns wife will never tell him to
shirk duty" she said.
"Helly, John G mornin', Nellie,
called a grizzled old gentleman as he
paused at a street crossing in the VII
lage to allow a carriage to pass. 1t
was the same old man who had made
such pessimistic prophecies Of John S
career. He was answered by friendly
mods and smiles from the carriage.
"Who was that ?" exclaimed an IN
terrogating stranger at his elbow.
"Why, that's our Congressman !
Smartest man in the State. Com I
be President some day. Just got home
yesterday, n the brass band was out
and the mayor had speech long as
my arm, and John just a-dyin to shake
hands with US old neighbors. John Is
a smart feller, and it's just as | always
said-a man with his education can't
farm.
"Why, how is that? understood
that the Raymond place was a model
farm, said the stranger.
80 It's. But do you suppose we are
goin to let feller like John plough
corn and pitch hay? Not much We've
got place for men like him, and that's
where too many of EN- don't get; that's
Congress"
The stranger smiled, having heard
of the oracle's predictions. There
was a twinkle in his kindly blue eye
as he made his way to the Raymond
carriage, which had stopped as the oc-
cupants caught sight of him. 1t was
Uncle Sammy, who had come up from
the city to spend few days with his
"children" on their return from the
first winter in Washington.

It is said that the native servants
in Hawaii used to call their mistress
ses by their first names. An English
woman Of strong will determined on
her arrival in Honolulu that her SER
wants should never call her Mary and
instructed them carefully in the pres
ence Of her husband. One day, when
she had visitors, her cook put bis head
in at the drawing-room door and
politely inquired:
what vegetables for dinner today,
my lover" ,
he had heard her called that and
seemed proud Of remembering not to
say Mary.

NEWSPAPER LIARS.
BY d. W. BORDER.


1t certainly is provoking
When you read of certain facts,
That the reporter was joking,
His words belied real acts.
In other words he was lying,
Author of sensation cheap,
He out-Herods Herod trying
In many an item sweep.
Such has been the ugly features
OF the press fiom Cuban soil,
Doing harm TO her creatures,
Fighting hard through blood and toll
Just for instance let's explain,
Here comes report, such is such;
Next day when we read again,
Find it garbled very much.
This is yellow journalism,
Sensation, their object dear,
But to make an ugly schism
Is result, their readers fear.
Why not tell the truth? It's best,
Then the world can Judge Alright,
State the facts and leave the rest
To the reader not in sight
Now the Cubans interfering,
Garcia, Gomez, in the sulks,
AS they pass, our boys jeering,
Envy on our navy's hulks.
Sampson, Schley and big Shafter too,
Jealous Of their prizes share,
Miles and Hobson, Victor Blue,
Chip on shoulder, don't you dare.
Great Dewey and the German fleet
About to clutch each others throat,
Aguinaldo with the Dons treat,
All such stuff they vie TO quote.
Now the Spaniard sues for peace,
Madrid given up at last
Uncle Sam offers them release,
And the end is seen at last.
*
See the crow they have TO eat,
See the fraud in all this Clatter,
As the ncwsboy cries his sheet.
The Cuban Junta says mot So
Garcia, Gomez true as steel,
With our army ready to go,
IN honor to us with fcrvor kneel.
Harmony with our soldier boys,
Cubans, our troops, side by side,
No jeers, no taunts to mar their joys,
As Dons scatter far and wide.
No envy between Sampson and Schley,
Nor Miles and Shafter, all great,
Hobson and Blue still ready to die,
Mate-like, whatever their fate.
The German says, It's not all true,
They mean no breach of laws in force
Aguinaldo ready to do
Soon as Dewey names the source.
The story that Augusti tried
To inhame the insurgents mind,
And thus make them dissatisfied,
Tell to those who are color blind.
So it goes from day to day,
The more they lie the happierare they,
Sells their wares, brings shcckels in,
Fool the people, It's no sin.
Anything to make fuss,
All the better is the musS,
Long as people write and read
On their fancies they must feed.
Yes, hate the paper liar
Worse than mud and Shiny mire,
l would send him down below
Where Evans said the Spaniards go.

II. +. Aldrich, fruiterer, doing
business in Easton, Nd, was bitten on
his hand by tarantula, which jumped
from a bunch of bananas. Quickly
Mr.. Aldrichs hand swelled to thrice
its natural size. He had presence Of
mind enough to ligature the wrist,
thus keeping the poison from the
larger veins and arteries. Then he
rushed into drug store, close by, with
a hand at that time nearly as big as
his head, and called for iodine. A
stream of this liquid was poured on the
hand, the ligature was bound more
tightly around the wrist and in a hour
the swelling had visibly subsided, and
in another hour the pain was gone and
the hand reduced nearly TO its normal
size. Mr.. Aldrich says iodine is con-
sidered a specific for tarantula bites,
and that importers Of bananas and
those who handle them in large guam
titles keep a supply Of the drug on
hand for uses Of their workmen.-BaI-

But John farming days were over.
He was sitting in his cosy little Parlor
one evening, looking over a pile Of let
ters lying on a table at his elbow. A
pretty, dark-eyed little woman sat op-
posite, and looking up occasionally
cast half impatient glances at the de-
creasing pile. Her work lay in her
lap, and there was little anxious
pucker of the brows whenever she
glanced into her husbands face.

employer" said John, as he tore open

The Police Jury of Vermilion,
together with other parishes in
the State, having placed a road
tax of S1.OO on wagons, rs on
carts, hacks and buggies, and 80
on sulkies and bicycles, intends to
improve its road system, as the
whole revenue SO created, is to be
expended upon the parish high
ways. 1t has always been our
idea that the road treasury should
be separated from the general,
and sustained as nearly as
possible, by those who use roads.
Ut course the nOn-using land ow-
ner should pay something, because
of the enjoyment of indirect ad-
vantages, but not in the identical
proportion to his neighboring free
holder. who subjects the highway
to continual. use. The road is not
a charitable institution, and so, is
not considered under the light of
that theory. We believe the en-
actment and enforcement of a pa
IRISH road law here would be of q
highly appreciable benefit. If st.
Mary is indisposed to resort to the
road tax Franklin might consider
the thing in its own interest.
