"By the way" said the man who had
stopped at farmhouse to water his
horse, "15 years ago a poor boy came
this way, and you took him in."
''Yes| queried the farmer, somewhat
surprised.
You were kind to him." went on the
stranger; you fed him, gave him
words of encouragement and an old
suit of clothes, put a dollar in his pock-
ct and sent him on his way rejoicing.
He told you at the time that he never
would forget your kindness. Am
right
Il reckon you are" replied the farm
er.
HE said that if he prospered he
would see that you never had occasion
to regret your kindness to d poor, strug-
Cling lad"
Lands sakes" exclaimed the farm
er's wife excitedly. "It sounds almost
like fairy tale. don't it? Why, you
must have seen him"
81 have" said the stranger, land he
sent a message to you"
what is it?' they both asked ex-
pectantly.
"He told me to tell you that he is
still poor"
AS the stranger drove away the
farmer went out and kicked the pump
viciously, while his wife threw q roll
ing pin at the chickens.-New York

What They Deserved.

Not very long since an exceedingly
we'll dressed man about 35 was charg-
ed in a north London court with being
drunk. He promptly paid his 10 shil
lings' fine and went away. A fortnight
later a stylishly dressed woman was
charged with similar Offense. AS
she gave the same name and address l
concluded they We're husband and wife.
So called on them. and my visit was
repeated several times. They had
very nice home, kept two servants and
had four children. ! noticed bOnny
lad of s, as | saw him several times.
Some months later l got letter as fol-
lows:

syearold. i sorry TO say that he has got
into bad ways-steals money from us, stops out
late and is very disobedent Can you get him
into any training home or institution Of any
kind. where his evil propensities will be cureds
Kindly obige in this
l could not resist the temptation to
reply as follows:
Dear Sr-I know of but one cure for Jacks
evil propensities and that is thorough applica-
tion of the horsewhip TO both parents.

Conscience the Coward.

Murderers uncaught suffer awful
agonies of fear when alone with their
consciences, but when apprehended,
tried, convicted. sentenced and incar-
cerated they become callous to fear.
Jailers tell me this is the general rule.
There is an acquitted murderer in this
city, once leading politician, who has
not been able to sleep alone In dark
room these % years. A light must be
kept burning and an attendant Is con-
stantly on guard. A Wall street bro
ker, who has dome" every one OF his
most faithful friends, dares not go to
bed In the dark. He keeps a light
burning In his room and one in the
hall, leaving the door open. In the
small hours of the morning he aWak-

as a spring crocus, who was mem
ber Of the inner circle long before
she became part Of oflcialdom. On
one of her last reception days she waA
chatting with cabinet women when
a woman who is struggling to get
into things as never u social climber
struggled before. The hostess knew
her by sight merely and had never
so much as had n bowling acquaint-
ance with her, but official people are
used to seeing strangers at their re-
ceptions and the lady Of the house
bowed with her usual graciousness
The climbers quick eye took in the
situation. She saw the two cabinet
women and she knew they saw her
She rose to the occasion in mastery

said, gushingly, clasping her hostess
hand warmly, 81 was so sorry not to
have been at home when you called
on Friday. 1t was 80 sweet Of you
to come so soon and / do hope you'll
come in very often, informally, that
way" And before the hostess had re-
covered from her surprise the climbe,
had passed on, well content, for she
had appeared in the presence of two
cabinet women as the intimate frient
of lady who had never set foot or
her doorstep.
