Now I'm off," And Harry sprang
down the steps, and was away
like an arrow.
His chum, Alden Mayhem,
had invited him to a candy pull,
= and general good time;' and
Alden's invitations were always
accepted by his boy and girl
friends, for Father and Mother
Mayhem and grown-up Sister
Nell had, to perfection, the
knack of making a good time
for young folks.
No wonder Harry couldn't he.
Iieve his own eyes when, in his
height of the fun. he looked up,
and saw the hands of the clock
pointing to a quarter of ten!
No one else looked as though
even thinking of going home.
But Harry's "honor bright"
promise rang In his ears. No.
body guessed the struggle that
was going on in the boys heart
as he mechanically performed
his part in the merry game.
Why can't l stay until the rest

"Day is worse" she whisper

And Harry ran-ran as he

nest, yet she wants a Who'll,
nest for her young. She finds
some honest birds nest-as the
Standard Oil found the United
States Government. In thai
nest she lays an egg. II is not
such a remarkable looking egg.
1t does not excite the honest
birds suspicion. She observes
that she must stretch her wings
a little wide; but she sees game
and keeps at her work until all
the birds are Matched, including
the cuckoo bird. Some times be
is Matched later than the others,
but he is Matched in time. He is
an innocent looking thing, as he
was an innocent looking egg. He
is all mouth and stomach to look
at. But he has devilishly
wicked little heart under his
pin-feathers. Only just so much
food comes to that nest. He
wants it all. But he is cautious.
He is more powerful than the
bird that batched him. One
after another he crowds his
honest little half.brothers out
of the nest. Each day the poor,
fool mother bird mourns as she
returns from her worm hunting
TO see another little one crushed
on the ground at the bottom of
the tree. But she never SuS-
poets the fast growing CUCKOO
bird, which sits tight, with a
mild, innocent expression, its
mouth always open for worms.
Finally there is nothing left but
that cuckoo bird, and the poor
mother spends all her time and
energies feeding it. So works
the cuckoo, and so works the
Oil. Just watch it for
a few years if you want to see
the cuckoo idea beautifully H.
Illustrated in our national life.
The other little ones might
and kick the fat cuckoo
out; but they never seem to
think of that until it is too late?
Do you know what the pay
ment of twenty-three mill
ions of dollars every three
Months means? 1t means for
owners of the Standard oil every
:hree months twenty three mill
on men must each give Ia days
work in the work. A dollar is
only a days work. 1t is moth.

BODIES TO MEET HERE.

In September the State F'ireulen's Con-
vention assemblies here. also the Odd
Fellows, to be followed by the National
Travellers Protective Association, and the
big meeting of the B. P. o. r.. in June,
1901, when some 1900 to 10000 men are
expected. The Elks have been known to
have left from one to one and a half
million dollars in cities where the Grand
Lodge has met.
The Richmond Carnival Association ax-
poets to aid the local bodies in all OF
these events, and should commend itself
to every taxpayer who wants to help
build the greater Richmond. The FL
nance Committee will start on its rounds
to solicit subscriptions to the Carnival
fund, and certificates of stock will be Is
sued to every subscriber thereto. In cit
les half the size of Richmond seventy
five hundred dollars has been subscribed
for similar CarnivalS and these invest
nents have been returned ten fo.d. as in

MUST SPEND MONEY.

II
The Decoration and Light Committee
will need much money to do their part
artistcally on the main Carnival street,
erect arches and carry out the elaborate
programmes proposed. The Advertising
Committee must have funds for its de-
tails of printing envelopes and posting
show bills and Virginia and the Caroinas
must spend money in this important
work. With all of these expenditures, it
is expected, the amount collected from
amusement concessions and selling privi-
leges will leave 4 balance in the Associa-
ton treasury which is to be used for the
future fair and carnival paradeS.
Thus this call on the public for funds
may he the Associations only call on the
pubic, and it would be impossible for
the Association to undertake this great
work unless it had a large guarantee
fund.
a glance at the list of the active work
ers and the various committeeman of the
Association will reveal the names of man
ufacturers. capitalists, workngmen,
wholesalers and retailers, and profession
al men, which would seem to indicate
that the Associations aim is to do good
for Richmond and not for, any special
class of citizens. With liberal subscrip-
tons to the Carnival fund there is no
reason why every. day of the Carnival
should not bring as large crowds as the
unwilling of the Lee monument, which
was in May. NIr. o. Herbert Funsten is
the treasurer Of the Associa ton, and to
him checks may. be made payable, and II
mailed will greatly lessen the labor of
the gentlemen who SO willingly sacrifice
their time in this usually thankless work
