Or the Naughty Boys and the. Man

He was very drunk, and he seemed
to be trying to find something on the
road. To him the solid earth rolled
and pitched like the sea in a storm.
So he grasped a picket in a fence with
his left hand, and carefully, very care
fully, he felt the ground about him
with his right. Several boys gathered.
They asked him what he was looking
for.
"Lost somethin'," he replied; 'may-
be five cent, maybe five dol-hic-lar gold
piece-I don't know which,
The boys aided in the search. The
grouLd was steadier to them, and they
soon became satisfied that the man
had lost nothing in that spot. They
held a whispered conference. Then
two ran away. The others yelled sud
denly to the man.: "Say, boss, those
fellows found your money and they're
running away"
The man Strengthened up with a
jerk. He became almost dignitied.

of IL.
Anticipation is when you think
about things beforehand. If it's hav-

GUS future for America. In describing
it he remarked with some grimness
that the colonies grew as rapidly as
the American pension list. He drew
many a parallel between the growth Of
the American colonies along the Mis-
sissippi valley and the growth Of the
colonies along the Congo. 1t took
commerce several generations to fol-
low in the track of De Soto, but 1t has
kept close to MI. Stanley's heels. AL
though the course Of the Congo was
not ven known uuntil 1877, Mr.. Stan
ley pointed out that the internal rev.
enue alone in the Congo region now
is &578,000, and the commerce is in
creasing at a tremendous rate. Al

North America in rate of growth.

Just think of a dolls house costing
over $4,000. One like that was made
at Utrecht, in Germany, a long time
ago for a little granddaughter of Peter
the Great, the ruler Of Russia. It is
Of gold and ivory and fine jewels and
other costly materials. The reception
rooms are hung with brocade, the
stairs carpeted, the doors open and
shut and the bedrooms are beautifully
furnished. For a little New York girl,
a dolls house was not long ago made
which cost several thousand dollars.
Great artists were paid to paint the
tiny pictures on the walls, and to dec
crate the ceilings of the best rooms,
and the chief upholsterers were en-
ployed to make the furniture. The
house is two stored, and contains nine
rooms and a hall. But let me tell you
a secret. While these homes for dolly
are wonderful the little girls who play
with them are not half as happy as
some bright-eyed little e I know
who have only a dolly's house made
out of a cracker box. It's all in being
contented and loving dolly and what
is hers.

Of them fell dead, shot through the

himself on the body. Then as his

the charge. Patriotism triumphed
over natural affection.

Little Hunky Dory.

There was once a little boy,
And his name was Hunky Dory,
And he used to ask his mother
Every night to tell a story!
Then she'd pretend to SILVER,
And to shake, with awful fear,
And she's say: "Oh, dear, I never
Told a story, Hunky, dear!"
Then Hunky used to ponder
On his little mothers knee;
And then he'd say: "a truly one,
Dear mother, tell to me-"

In all the world of Food-and-Drink
There lives no Prince like Bobolink,
None half so good and fair.
He reigns in Breakfast-table-land,
Which spreads away on either hand
Beyond the willow chair.
Upon the right, near Orangeyille,
There rises famous Muffin Hill;
And just a bit beyond
The glistening Sugar Rocks are piled,
A place beloved by every child;
And close by New Milk Pond.
The Sweet Cream Falls slip smoothly

And join the Coffee Springs. all brown
And hot as hot can be.
And there's the town of Johnny Cake,
Old Doughnut Mountain, Syrup Lake,
And pleasant Pancake Lea.
Each morning to his willow throne
The prince ascends, and in a tone
That makes his subjects quake
He says: Good morning, every one.
If you don't mind, I'll start upon
The town of Johnny Cake!"
He eats the hills; he drinks the creeks;
He stuffs whole mountains in his
cheeks!
He likes the trees and sand;
And when at last the Prince gets

There's scarcely left a stream or town

A Fighting Snake.

gone by a southern correspondent o

one day in a bayou of the Pearl river
He says:
MY end of the boat had turned to
ward the nearest bank, which was dis
tant about thirty feet, and lying ASLEEP
on a log at the waters edge l noticed
a moccasin of very fair proportions.
Signaling to my companion, I point.
ed to the snake, that he might hold the
boat steady while I tried a shot at II
with a small pocket pistol-a twenty
two caliber-that we always carried on
trips, and in the use of which con-
slant practice had made me very ex-
pert. The snakes head was not visi-
BILE, so 1 concluded to try a shot at the
thickest part of the body. which show
ed clear on the highest part of the log,
presenting a fair mark that I could hit
nine times in ten.
As I fred, the boat must have moved
slightly, for my shot struck one-half
inch lower than I intended. Instead CT
going through the snakes body it went
between it and the log, and must have
felt very much like a hot iron, to Judge
by his actions.
After a quick shiver and a full-length
squirm, he began to bow his back and
Snit Ike an angry cat
This was so unusual that it amused
us very much, and we sat laughing
heartily for a moment or two. expect
ing every instant that the snake would
take to the water and disappear.
Suddenly the snake swung round,
with its head stretched in our direc-
ton and plunged into the water, but
did not disappear. Threshing through
the water like mad, he made straight
for me with an air of business that
cured my attack of laughter promptly
and effectuelly.
Straight on he came until he was bu.
a few feet from me as I sat in the boat.
and then I recovered my powers of lc.
comotion, and most ingloriously fed.
There was no choice of routes. so
straight down the long, slender boat I
dashed toward the end my companion
occupied, clearing the middle seat with
a jump that nearly drove the bottom
out.
My companion had started up with
q startled cry to Look Quit" and had
grasped q heavy paddle lying in the
bottom of the boat; but seeing me
bearing down on him in a wild figtt,
that was certain to carry us both over
the end Of the boat into twenty feet of
water. he dropped the paddle, stopped
low and caught ne with an approved
football tackle-hold just above the
knees, and together we fell with a
crash against the end seat, my head
striking with such force that I was
rendered almost unconscious.
springtng to his feet. my friend
snatched up, the paddle and ran to
the end Of the boat from which i had
fed. and found the snake still in pur-
suit, although the boat had moved
some distance from the impetus given
by the sudden ~arresting Of my flight.
Not until he had received a blow that
almost disabled him did that pugna-
cious serpent retire from the attack,
He then swan back to the bank aud
crawled out on the very log on which
We had first seen him.

Because she was afraid.
