The solemn look on the fathers

A timid, irresclute and self-con-
sciOus man will often be cruel when a
large-hearted and self-reliant man
would be tender and generous. The
latter gives strength and confidence to
all with whom he mingles. They feel
his influence and partake of his ma
ture. They grow stronger for his
strength and braver for his courage.

QUEER NAMES FOR INFANTS
Parents sometime Confer
Gus COgnOmens Upon Their
Offspring.

At Ramsbury manor. England. Their.

the name TO be William. Just before

bowed" said the invalid. Call un
plain Bill" In accordance with these
laconic instructions the nurse gave
the name of Plainbill to the clergy,
man. and the infant was christened &C.
cordingly.
In an even funnier way is the queer
Christian name of One Tichiner, OF
Peckham, accounted for. When his
parents and sponsors arrived at the
church his name had not been settled
upon. and when the clergyman said:
Name the child one of the friends
said: John" and another said: .Oh.
no." meaning not John. and. as no n
else spoke. the clergyman thought that
was to be his name and baptized him
Ono.
A clergyman's son vouches for the
following: MY father was bapti,ing
a boy of six years of age. The names
gi:en were Benjamin Joseph. After
the ceremony he said to the boy: "You
have two very good names. and you
ought to be a good boy. How did you
come by them? Please. sir said the
boy. we wos twins and the other
died."

TIL CHILD HEART.

In summer sun may shrink the ru
TIL ell its course is crannied CLAW.
Yet in some green ridge far away,
Inc tountain-head Is yelling still.
Such is his lot whose youth is past
Whose noon of life straightway departs.
If in his bribeless heart of hearts
His childhood dwells serene and fast.
The winds heroic news still bruit.
Inc woods enchanted murmur make,
And all the word that Nature spake
In MS young ear grows never mute.
His childhood's God lives in the sky
And breaks the seasons to the earth;
Days new-blown fire, red evenings
hearth,
Wave wonder-scrolls before his eye.
Of all the lowers the round year brings
He loves the faint pearl-colored blooms,
That wear, through ApriIs smiles and
giooms,
Memorial looks of younges springs.
He yet can find a relish keen
In foods and drinks his childhood
sought,
In cups of milk. and honey brought
From hives within the forest green;
In berries speared on grassy bent,
Dusk berries from the bramble wastes;
In each and all of these he tastes
/ know not wha of deep content!
And Eever falls upon his ear
Such benson from Music's tongue
As in those hymns his mother sung
In summer twilights dim and dear,
The years no tenderness can steal:
Him as a child the shaft can wound.
But since his heart beats true and
sound,
Hin as a child the balm can heal.
His joys and griefs, as they were wont,
Travel the same he~art-avenuss;
A vernal hope his step pursues-
The snowfiakes gather on his front,
Old Time despairs to make him old.
And when from out the yelled deep
The still Voice calleth him to sleep,
He as a child his eyes shall fold.

BRyAn.s PENSION RECORD.

''The next congress will have to
wrestle with one deficiency OF $50. .000.-
900. This is on account OF pensions
The appropriation for pensions for the
next year must be not less than $780,
c00.000. 1t is therefore easy arithme-
tic to perceive that the appropriation
that congress must make for pensions
at the next session must aggregate not
less than $1S6. 100000. This tremen-
dous sum would of itself be enough to
run reasonable government One
would not complain II 1t were an hon.
orable debt, because II was never earn
ed by any act of patriotism or heroic
service. The government is held up
and despoiied OF no mean portion OF
this. and it seems helpless to defend
itself. One cannot help being curious
to know how many more years 1t viii,

feels itself injured by the war. It Is
safe to say that never did a generation
display such longevity."-W. ]. Bryan
