Teachers in the public schools of

them amusing, some of them pathetic.

dergarten in Boston, upon learning
that one of her little pupils was sick,
went to visit her. The teacher had
been to Katie's home before, and so had
no difficulty in finding the two little
rooms at the top of a tenement house
where Katie and her mother lived. The
mother was absent, and Katie, wei!
wrapped up, was sitting up in bed.
After the usual inquiries and condo
lences, the teacher noticed that the lit
tie girl seemed to speak with some diff
ficulty, and said:
Katie, am going to examine your
lungs"
"Yes'm," responded the child, duti-
fully, and Miss C began to loosen
the child's waist. After removing it
she found layer after layer of fiaunel,
which she unfastened with some diff
Guilty. Satisfying herself that there
was no danger of pneumonia, she began
to replace the child's dress, when Katie
began to cry.
MY mother'll be awful mad at you

why, Katie, what have I done?"

Silver's face was picture; his eyes
started in his head with wrath. He
shook the fire out of his pipe.
Give me a hand up!" he cried.
"Not l." returned the captain.
who'll give me a hand up?" he
roared.
Not a man among us moved. Growl-
ing the foulest imprecations, he crawed
along the sand till he got hold of the
porch and could hoist himself again
upon his crutch. Then he spat into
the spring.
"There!" he cried, "that's what |
think of ye. Before an hours out, I'll
stove in your old block-house like a rum
puncheon. Laugh, by thunder, laugh.
Before an hours out, yen laugh upon

And with a dreadful oath he
stumbled Off, plowed down the sand,

four or five failures, by the man with
the flag of truce, and disappeared in
an instant afterward among the trees.

But this was not so easily answered.
There had come many from th2 north

eight or nine, according to Gray. From
the east and west only single shot
had been fired. 1t was plain, therefore,
that the attack would be developed
from the north, and that on the other
three sides we were only to be an
noycd by a show of hostiIities. But
Capt. Smollett made no change in his
arrangements. If the mutineers sue
ceeded in crossing the stockade, he ar
gued, they would take possession of

The Tables Turned.

On one occasion when a well-known
wit was listening to the band on the
pier at Brighton, some medical stu
dents who happened to be there thought
they would have a joke with him, and
accordingly one of their number went
up with outstretched hand and said:
"Ah, good-morning, Mr.. -! How do
you do?"

he, "but l really have not had the honor

the market. The scholar complmentcd
himself upon his shrewd stroke of bust

price, it would be a great favor to her

answered that if it was perfect copy it
had an established market value, like a
gold coin, and was worth $1,000; that
if she would send it to him he would ex-

he would sell it to the British museum
and forward the money to her. 1t did
prove to be perfect, and she got her

wise, and their final bearing upon
the disposition of the Philippe

OF American control of the entire
group OF islands, and expresses
the opinion that the opponents of
American control have purpose]y
exaggerated the number Of troops
that would have to be kept there
all the time to maintain Ame rican
control. He is very positive that if
the islands were once given civil
government-that would leave the
people free to prosper without
danger Of having their earnings
confscated in the name Of taxation
very few soldiers would be need
ed. He is equally positive that the
PHILIPPINE insurgents will not OPP
pose American control of the
islands.and that it is their fear of
being handed over to Spain again
that has made them cling together
on the island Of Luzon. and seem
+ at times to be disposed to anita 60
