HER FACE WAS NOT FAIR.

Would Always Be Beautiful.

aut There Was One to Whom she
Would Always BE Beautiful.
The blind boy raised a rapt face to
the light.
"And my mother3 he said ques-
tioningly. "Tell me how she looks
again. I shall soon be able to see, and /
know I shall find n more beautiful
than all the rest and cry motheri moth
erl Why do you not speakf"
His sensitive face was turned re-
proachfully toward his father. "You
have always told me how lovely she is.
She is little-not taller than my shout
der-1 know that"
The old man laid his arm over the
lads shoulders.
"You must know now what your
blindness would have kept you from
knowing" he said. "Your mother is
not fair and beautiful now in face, but
her soul is what God made for a
mother. When you can see, look for
the face which holds the greatest love.
You will not be mistaken. It will be
your mothers"
The great surgeon looked for a mo-
ment or two into the sightless eyes, and
then turned and laid his hand on the
fathers trembling arm.
"Only God can make him see, my
friend" he said kindly. "Your boy
was born blind, and human skill can-
not help him."
The blind boy was the first to speak,
and he laid his arm around the sudden
ly aged form Of his father.
"Come," he said, ''let us go back to
mother. She will always be beautiful to
me now" and they turned and gave
place to the others New York World.

A Singular Experience With Arap0O.
fish, q Chief of the Crows.
Arapooish, chief of the Crow Indians,
was a man of wonderful influence. In
"~Bonneville's Adventures an incident
is related showing his method Of re-
straining the evil %propcnsities Of his
braves. Mr.. Robert Campbell. while a
guest in the lodge of Arapooish, had
collected a large quantity of furs and.
fearful of being plundsrcd. had deposit
ed but a part in the lodge. The rest he
buried.
One night Arapocish entered the
lodge with a cloudy brow and, turning
to Campbell. said
"You have more furs with you than
you have brought to my lodsef"
II have, replied Campbell,
"Where are they?"
\ Campbell described the place.
'Tis we'll. said Arapooish "You
speak straight. But your cache has been
robbed. Go and see low many skins
have been taken" .
Campbell examined the cache and
estimated his loss to be about $50 bea.
yer skins.
Arapooish summoned his people, re.
preached them for robbing Il guest and
commanded that the skins should be
brought back. For himself, he would
not eat or drink till all had been re-
stored.
Soon the skins began to come in.
They were laid down in the lodge. and
those who brought them departed with
out a word Arapooish sat in n cor.
ner silent. Above a hundred pelts were
brought in, and Campbell expressed
himself satisfied. Not so the Crow chief
tain. He tasted all night, In the morn
ing more skins were brought in, and
one and two at n time they continued to
come through the day.
'Is all right nowl' demanded Ara
pooish.
"All is right" replied Campbell.

Parson and Pheasant.

There was a sort Of Jack Russell par.
son who was called in from his shooting
one day to a christening, and with him
came his factotum, who was both parish
clerk and keeper. he put gun and bag
down in the porch and commenced the
service, but it was interrupted by a
wild futtering outside the open door,
and one of the pheasants, which was
not as dead as it ought to have been,
rose up and few hither and thither
through the church with the noise and
commotion of which only pheasants,
and frightened pheasants, are capable
"Mark that cock, john" said the par
con in his usual sonorous voice, and
then resumed the service. And here
again I do not think one of the little
party around the font saw the humor
of the thing, and certainly John, who
replied eyes, SIR" with as much pros
priety and dignity as he had just been
responding "Amen," saw nothing in
congruous or nnbeftting in the scene.

CRITICISM OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES.. -
While there is no denying the fact that un-
worthy men secure places on the ticket by
our American system of nominating conven.
tons, yet, as n rule, the candidates for state
and county offices measure fully up TO the
minimum requirements and among them may
be found fair percentage for whom a more
liberal allowance Of real merit may be con-
ceded and occasionally we learn Of some one
accepting place whose capabilities for even
higher places are beyond dispute-.-are con-
fessed. That even so many eminently quail
ifed men are found willing to serve as can
didates for public office is to be wondered at
when we come to consider the certain expert
cnce that is before them, once they permit
their names to be used. Under the methods
now in vogue, no sooner does the citizen be.
come an aspirant for the suffrages of his fel
low citizens than are the batteries of the op-
position opened upon him and his private
life his business life and his political life are
dssected; his sincerity questioned, his ipcon.
sistency asserted, his ability discounted and
his integrity attacked.
One of the most effective and pronounced
obstacles in the way of a man, possessed of
an honorable pride and sef:respect, permit
ting himself to become candidate for public
office, is the absolute certainty that he will
at once be cassed rs being this mans man
or that mans man; as the subservient tool of
some "boss" as an automaton whose move
mcnts arc to be controlled; discredit proxey
whose every right to independent thought or
action has been abdicated and though posing
as living intelligence and free moral agent,
is publicly labeled as but an alter ego of some
unscrupulous, or, at best, immoderately par
tsan and unyielding manager and director
of political deals and dickers. When the
self respecting citizen is called upon to face
these things, he, from the nature Of the case,
must ste in the Office an honor exceeding
that to which he can justly aspire. tor were
it less, he realizes that he is called upon to
pay a price in excess of its value; hence the
difference of the capable and the advent of
of the mediocre
