Thrilling Adventure OF a Boy.

An Iowa boy last summer passed
through an experience which he will
not forget if he lives to be 100 years
old. He was only years old, and one
day when his father went to the wheat
field to drive the harvester he took him
along and perched him on the high seat
at his side For time the little fellow
watched the yellow wheat lop over as
it was cut in wide swath. and the
tall arms sweep it back and bind it, and
finally the fat bundles being tossed aside.
For time all this was very interest
ing, but presently the little fellow grew
tired and began to squirm and COM
plain. And then, just as his father was
leaning over to look more closely at
some Of the machinery. off tumbled the
little fellow on the conveyor. He shrek
ed just once, and his father tried vainly
to stop the horses. But before he could
even slack the speed the boy had been
driven up through the elevator canvas
with half bundle of wheat, the bind
ing Irvine had twisted swiftly around
his neck and legs. and he was rolled out
on the wide carrier, securely bound in
a wheat bundle He was almost choked
and there was tiny bit of skin torn
from his shoulder, but otherwise he was
unhurt when his father cut the string
and helped him up again. But a worse
frighteneGAoy would have been hard to
find Chicago Inter Ocean.

u Good Story About a Goose ~ A
Boy and His Kite - Fireworks
That Call to Worship.

A writer In st. Nicholas tells a
strange story of a goose. 1t happened
near Quebec more than so years ago,
when some British troops had been
sent out to put down a rebellion of the
colonists. A certain farm in the neigh
borhood, suspected Of being resort
for the insurgents was surrounded by
eentries placed at some distance apart,
and one day the sentry whose post was
near the gate Of the farm heard sim
gular noise A fine, plump goose soon
appeared on a run, making directly for
the spot where the soldier stood, and
close behind in pursuit came hungry
fox.
The sentry's first impulse was to
shoot the thievish animal and rescue
the goose, but since the noise Of the
report would have brought out the
guard on false alarm he was obliged
to deny himself this satisfaction.
The fox was gaining on his intended
prey, when the goose, in frantic at
tempt to reach the sentry box, ran his
head and neck between the soldiers
legs just as the pursuer was on the
point of selling it. Fortunately the
guard could use his bayonet on the fox
without making a disturbance, and he
did this to such advantage that the
pursuit was soon ended.
The rescued goose, evidently animal
ed by gratitude, rubbed it's head
against it's deliverer's legs and per-
formed various other joyful and kit
tehlike antics. Then, deliberately TAX
ing up its residence at the garrison
post, it walked up and down with the
sentry while he was on duty and thus
accompanied each successive sentry
that appeared on that beat.
About two months later the goose
actually saved the life of it's particular
friend in very remarkable way. The
soldier was again on duty at that
place, and on a moonlight night, when
the moon was frequently obscured by
passing clouds, the enemy had formed
a plan to surprise and kill him. His
feathered friend was beside him, as
usual, while he paced his lonely beat,
challenging at every sound and then
1T ease DelOIG HIS S6uLEy
box. The goose always stood at ease,
too, and It made very comical pic
ture.
But some undesirable spectators at
least of the. soldiers movements-we
stealing cautiously toward the place
under cover of the clouds and line of
stunted pine trees. Nearer and nearer
to the post they crawled, till one of
them, with uplifted knife, was about
to spring on the unsuspecting man.
Then 1t was that the watchful goose
covered itself with glory by rising I'M
expectedly from the ground and flap
ping its wings in the faces of the
would be assassins. They rushed
blindly forward, but the sentry sue
ceeded in shooting one of the party
and bayoneting another, while the
goose continued to worry and confuse
the remainder until they fed for their
lives.

Fidelity of Cats.

For three years we kept two fine
cats; but, finding then that they would
not agree, we sent one to friend at a
distance of five or six miles. Before
he had been week in hts new abode
he ran away, and, except that he was
seen by a neighbor after a few days,
had not been heard of for six months.
AT the end of that time we saw him
in the garden with Our cat and brought
him into the house. He Immediately
seemed to recognize all his old friends
and took possession Of his favorite
place, the top of the sofa, where he
always sat during meaItimes. 1 think
the fact of his returning after so long
a period proves that cats. retain at
lection both for people and places

A BOY and His Kite.

The first suspension bridge at Mag
ara falls is historic structure, but
how many children know-or grown
ups either, for that matter-what part
a small boy and his kite had in it's
construction? The Youths Companion
says:
There lately died at Lincoln, Neb., a
man named III. J. Walsh, who had an
important part in the construction of
the first supervision bridge at Niagara
falls. Mr.. Walsh was born in Ireland
in 1884, but was brought to this coun-
try to live at Niagara Falls, N. Y.
When he was still boy, the first
steps for the construction Of the sus-
pension bridge were taken. The first
thing Of all was to stretch a single wire
across the chasm. The engineer in
charge had thought Of way to get it
across.
what boy is the best kite flier in
town?" he asked resident.
The Walsh boy was named, and the
engineer asked that he be brought He
was made to understand that he must
fly it across the Niagara river. He flew
it across and allowed it to come down
on the other side. Men were there to
seize it. Then the engineer attached a
wire to the string on his side, and the
men on the other side detached the
kite and by means of the string drew
the wire across. BY this, in turn, a
cable was drawn across, and the bridge
was well begun.

The Boy who'll Be a Man

Only little boy, my friends,
But I'll do the best can,
For by and by, in the coming years,
! mean to be man.
Not something that wears a coat and hat,
Kid gloves and curling hair,
Whose sole ambition seems to be
To dress with incest care;
Not something that carries between his lips
A cigar or pipe of clay
And keeps the article in full blast
dozen times day;
Not something that digs and delves SO hard,
But is poor as poverty still,
While goodly part OF his hard earned cash
Goes into the drink sellers till,
But man-an honest, whole souled man
Brave hearted, kind and true,
Who is always found in the foremost ranks
Whenever THERE'S work to do.
Now, boys, be wise, join hands with me,
There is work enough for us all,
And by and by in the strife we shall fill
The places OF those who fall.
And let us resolve in childhood's years
To be faithful in all things and then
We may each fill an honored station in life
If we should live to be men.

Fireworks THAT Cali to worship.

Fireworks That Call to worship.
To the American boy firecrackers
suggest anything but religious ceremo-
MES. The clustering and red coated
''heralds of liberty" call to mind the
scent of burning punk, the glorious,
noisy, frantic Fourth Of July. On this
day boy or girl who misses the bless
ed privilege of getting fingers burned,
clothes scorched aud the whole door
yard Uttered up with firecrackers and
other fireworks will be greatly pitied
by other boys and girls.
In the old Brazilian town of Bahia
fireworks form a part of the regular
Sunday ceremonies. The town has a
number of churches, and they fiercely
compete for patronage. First the great
deep toned bells remind the townspeo-
pie that Sunday is come. Then the
crash of fireworks reminds them that
their attendance at service is earnestly
desired. So every Sunday morning and
evening witnesses a small Fourth Of
July celebration-from an American
standpoint--in the queer old town Of
Bahia.

The Care of Animals.

The boy who is really fond Of animals
never i'll treats his pets, or abuses and
makes a slave of his dog On the con
trary, his dog is his companion and
playmate
The boy knows that dogs master is
god in the eyes of the poor brute and
is worshiped with canine devotion,
which again and again has been proved
faithful unto death Such knowledge
makes the boy just and kind. But dog
is only domesticated wolf, and the
wolf is not the only wild creature which
can be dcmesticated.
The same care which transforms. a
red mouthed wolf into faithful dog
can transform other undomesticated
beasts into useful creatures. As soon as
an animal learns that you are contribut-
ing to its comfort in place of torment
ing it, you may notice it will greet
you with milder expression. AS soon
as you can make the widest and fercest
beast understand that the use of jaws,
claws or sting are unnecessary, it will
refrain from using them. 1t is not al
ways possible to come to this under
standing with the larger beasts. but the
lad who loves his pets will bestow upon
the little creatures that affection which
shows itself in a sympathy which can
understand their wants and necessities.
Such a lad can perform wonders. Birds
will come at his CALL the small beasts
of the field will follow at his heels, and
no child will fear him.-Harper' s
