we'll. The eldest of the children
clambered up, stretched out his
little hand to reach the gay plaything,
lost his balance and fell in. The bar
Oness at the window saw and tainted
at the Sight. Men and maids rushed
up, and among them Rosa. Down in
the dismal depths of the we'll they
peered and saw that the little fellows
coat had caught on a sharp stone pro-
jecting half way down the we'll. Rosa
saw that the coat was already begin
ming to tear, that there was no time to
be. lost, and jumping into the bucket
told the men to let her down gently
till she reached the boy. Soon the
child, was safe in her arms and the
bucket, with it's occupants, carefully
brought up to the mouth of the well.
1t was not many hours after thai the
Baron of Odenwald, sitting in the
great hall of the castle with his guests,
heard the story of his sons narrow es,
cape from death and ROsa's plucky
act.
Bring the girl here!" he command
ed, and Rosa was brought in her
rough peasant dress contrasting with
the gay costumes of the knights and
ladies in the hall.
Girl" said the baron, 'yOu saved
my. sons life. Ask what you will OF
me and I will give it to YOU"
"Baron of Odenwald,' answered
Rosa boldly, ''there is one favor I will
ask of you. Give up your prisoner,
the knight of Tannenburg, to me-
''No, no! Not that!'' frowned the
baron.
A murmur went around the hall
from the guests, "YOur word, your
honor!" and the baron turned pale
with chagrin and rage. BY his order
the wounded knight was brought up
from the dungeon. Astonished and al
most blinded by the bright light, he
gazed around him while Rosa quietly
put her hand in his.
'My daughter, what does this
mean?''
"His daughter!" murmured the
guests once more.
The whole story then came out. A
reconciliation was effected between
the knight and the baron and the prop
erty of the former restored to linn.
Some days later Rosa and her father
sat together in an upper chamber OF
the castle, the knight with the%gioW of
returning health on his face, Rosa in
pretty little silk gown and the brown
berry stain completely disappeared.
'Father,'' said Rosa, 'sthis is hap
by ending, after all, to the story IF the
golden chain"

brave little daughter who brought it to
this happy termination. '-Pittsburg

lions is subjected to severe temptations
to unfairness, dishonesty and theft.
The man who lives within his income,
who does not mortgage the future,
who constantly lays aside something,
even at sacrifice in present comfort,
is, after all, the man freest from Temp
tations, the most settled in life, and
the most content in his work.
The second form. of imprOvi1ence,
failure to improve ones self by the
best of all opportunities and the wisest
employment of ones leisure time, is
not less serious than the failure to
save. One cannot help seeing on every
hand large numbers of young men
who, having gotten employment that
pays a fair living wage, begin to lead
lives of destructive self-indulgence and
seem to fOrsake any hope Or purpose
of growing into a more perfect man
hood, with greater powers for service.
The third form of imprOvidence in
tivate friends and to keep in touch
with them-is specially evident among
young men in q large city. BY cult.
walton of friends [ do not mean, for
one moment, those petty, unfair and
unmanly means which some use to get
a 'stand in" with people of influence.
The friendships that come through
courtesy, honesty, helpfulness. and tx
cellence of service rendered. are the
friendships truly secured, lasting and
worth the having. The securing of a
position, the gaining of social place,
the acquiring of liberties and of ia
vOrs by underhand or humanity means,
is the purchase of advantage with
counterfeit coin, which sooner or later
return to you, bringing with it the de-
nunciations of those who sought to be
your friends, and the promise of moth
ing better than disgrace. But he IS
not the only man in trouble who has
misused his friends. The man who
cuts loose from those who know him
best-his relatives, his business ac-
Quaintances, his friends with the
reckless spirit of daring throws him
self into entirely new conditions and
surroundings, without anybody or any
thing to tie to-, is almost sure to mc"t
discOura cement and defeat.
Many of the young men walking the
ST. Gets of our large cities III the deep
est distress, buffeted about by tempta-
lions and suffering the. fearful suspi-
cion that the world is growing cold
and uncharitable, are nothing more
nor less than victims of that improvi-
dence that has led them to cut loose
from their mainstays and to lrift. A
young man who tires Of home and the
acquaintanceship of those who have
known him, who goes to the city with
out letters of Introduce on, and without
any defined purpose or plan, who does
not write home for months, and who
seeks new cOmpaniOnship among the
hosts of the city's unfortunate. is apt
to find most doors closed to him, and

THREE ~SOMERSAULTS.

Minneapolis Tribune: The most diff
cult acrobatic work in the world is to
throw triple SOmersault. The double
is comparatively easy. But to describ.
three complete circles-in the air with the
body is a bigger feat than the most eN-
pert acrobat of the day cares to UNDER
take. Only three men have accomplish
ed it, although dozens have lost their
lives in making the attempt.
To perform a triple sOmersault, one
would, of course, have to jump from a
spring board high enough to be able 10
turn three times before alighting. and
probably no gymnast has sufficient pow
er to leap any higher than is necessary
to accomplish a double. The height is
not the only trouble. 1t it We're, leap
ing experts, by improved appliances and
practice, would overcome that difficulty.
But after the body has turned twice the
performer loses control of himself and
the law of ~gravitation overcolnes bodily
deXterity. His head being heavier than
his feet. he is apt to light on it first and
break his neck.
Only one of the three acrobat who
have already accomplished the great
feat refused to try it again, being assur-
ed that his lighting on his feet was an
accident. as he could not control his
body after turning the second time.
Another undertook the feat for a wa
ger of $3.50. In his first attempt he turn
ed three times, but alighted on his hands.
Everybody was satisfied with the result
ana the money was rendered him. He
refused it, saying that the feat had not
been perfectly accomplished and that he
would repeat it and alight upon his feet.
He did attempt to repeat it and fell on
his head, dislocating his neck.

the United states in the wal with Spain
has been determined upon by the board
of managers of missions of the Profess
