Little Willie's Lesson.

Once upon time man with a
large ank account lived in a fair.
sized city where everything was
TO be had.
Toward the end of summer day
Just as the sun went down, his
golden haired daughter, the pride of
his heart, came to him and said,
PA, me and Bills thinkin' of git
Tin, married. You don't care, do
you pa2'
Tears came into the fathers eyes.
Tears Of joy, they were. For was she
not the last Of nineteen daughters,
who, one bv one had left parental
roof for shelter with the husbands
of their hearts? The father then and
there decide to give his last daughter
Dolly asend off that would paralyze
the town.
He told her to go to New York
and take two or three floors Of the
Waldorf and buy trousseau. He
gave her several thousand dollars
and told hor to use it carefully. SOS
it would go farther.
The daughter came home with
thirteen trunks of clothes and
things, and the wedding was regal
in its spIendor. Bills ready,made
Prince Albert fitted him to T.
And they were married in the bay
window beneath bell Of roses.
Bill gave the minister five dollars
and waited for his change.
1t was two weeks after the wed
ding Bill was out canvasslng, and
and Dolly sought her father that
be might take her to luncheon with
him.
AS they walked up the avenue to
his palatlal club where women were
allowed to eat three days out of
week. the father asked the daughter
what her trous. had cost her "Just
an even three thousand dollars,n
was her reply.
AS they crossed the street the
eyes Of the daughter were struck
by the exhibit Of wedding Gnery in
adry goods store window. She and
her father went down to tho win

Best Blower of the Crowd.

In one of the great squares of St.
Petersburg stands a magnificent
column one hundred and fifty feet
in hight, erected to commemorate
the reign of the Gar, Alexander l.,
the ally and afterward the rival of
Napoleon. On one occasion Of a
public celebration, the present car
wished to have the great shaft i'll
animated, and round lamps of an
enormous size were ordered from Il
leading glass manufactory.
After two or three experiments,
the workmen discovered to their
CONSERVATION that it seemed impos
sible to blow the bulbs so large by
the force of human breath. The
blowers blew until they were utter
Ey exhausted but the bulbs remain
ed for below the required size.
A handsome price was offered to
the first successful blower, and the
men renewed their efforts. but to no
purpose. AT last big fellow, shap-
ed like barrel, stepped forward
and quitely remarked that he was
sure he could do the trick. The
crowd laughed good.humoredly,
but the man merely said:
81 want to rinse my mouth; it's
dry"
They gave him cup of water.
He rinsed his mouth, taking plenty
Of time, and then applied his ips
to the tube. Slowly and steadily
the ball of hollow glass grew.
Soon it reached the dimensions of
its nearest rival. Then it became
bigger, bigger, until it approached
the required size. Then it attained
it. Then it passed 1t.
"Stop, stop!'' cried the crowd.
Its getting too olg, ana The fore'
man added, "How did you do it?''
"Where is my money!" said the
man by way of reply,
When he felt the rubles in his
palm, an expression Of genial salts
faction overspread his rough fea-
lures.
"Why, it's easy!" said he, and
then be explained how he had re-
tanned some of the water IN his
mouth, how he had gradually blown
it into the molten ball, and how the
expanding steam had instantly come
to his assistance,-Youth,s Compan.

IT is downright cruelty on the
part of the Democrats to challenge
the Hannaites to indorse the utter
apces of Abraham Lincoln The
Hannaites consider Lincoln sickly
sentimentalist, nearly as much SO
as Thomas Jefferson who wrote the
Declaration ofindependence.
