ANXIETY OVER A TOMCAT.
A Mystery which Was Explained by
Wall street Man.

u wan
1t was in Broadway pharmacy. A
reporter was waiting with others when
the druggist stepped to the telephone
and, after getting the number he called
for, said:
what is that tomcat doing"
He listened with apparent excitement
and added:
How is spinachT
After holding the receiver to his ear
for few moments he rang off and
started to attend to his customers. He
seemed nervous, however, and finally
excused himself in the midst of filling
an order and called up the same num-
Der on the telephone again.
Sell my tomcat at the market" he
said as soon as he had some one at the
other end.
Then he returned TO his customer
with apparent ease of mind. The re-
porter wondered what the druggist
meant by this strange conversation un-
til 1t was explained by Wall street
speculator. "Tomcat," it seems, is q
pet name among brokers for Tennessee
Coal and Iron stock. Spinach" is the
familiar name for Southern Pacific.
The druggist had evidently bought
"tomcat" low, and his excitement was
caused by his eagerness to take prof

TAKING IN Mr.. MOODY.
How His Confidence Was Abused by
the Natives of Bethany.

How His Confidence Was Abused by
the Natives Of Bethany.
When d. L. Moody went to Bethany
during his travels in the east, he was
very soft hearted over all the multi
tude Of beggars there, not only because
the place is SO unusual, but because he
was moved by its beautiful traditions.
He gave quantities Of "backsheesh"
and then asked If any of the children
had the names of Mary and Martha.
Yes, indeed, they had. And that open
ed his pockets again..
The news of his generosity spread
through the village, and new claim
ants came until his visit seemed likely
to result in fight for existence. The
case was getting desperate, and he
told the dragoman to call for silence
while he made an address. Then he
said:
II have come 5000 miles to see this
little village of Bethany. 1t was a
have come 10 see it because he loved
1t. am very glad to meet you all, but
now / want to be alone. l have no
more backsheesh, and bid you good
by"
A fine looking boy Of 16 replied to the
address. He spoke fluently and with
the grace of an orator. Mr.. Moody
was delighted with the beginning of
bis grafton, but not with its conclusion.
1--WE are glad to see the gentleman
and his friends who have come so far,
but the gentleman must not think that
his actions are equal to the importance
of his visit. Six thousand miles is a
long way to come, and the gentleman
must have sacrificed much to make the
visit In consequence it is natural for
us to expect that he would be munifi-
cent in backsheesh. This he has not
been, and we now expect that he will
give us a great deal more"
Mr.. Moody was so disguised that he
abandoned the situation entirely and
hurried away with his friends.
II did think" said he, that boy had
a soul above backsheesh."
"And did you think, too, that some
of the children were named Martha
and MaryT he was asked.
Certainly. Why notT"
Nothing; only they were all boys

That Tired Feeling.

There's no doubt about it." says q
prominent vegetarian, that for endur-
ance, for hard work. vegetarianism is
the only thing Do you know why2 1t
is because in vegetables you eat no
tiredness. In meat or fish or poultry
you eat great deal of tiredness, and
that is why the meat eater after a
hearty meal feels lazy and heavy and
disinclined to work. He has absorbed
with his meat a great quantity Of uric
acid, and the definition Of uric acid has
been given by an eminent scientist as
the essence of tiredness.' He who eats
only vegetables is never tired after
meal-never"

sAsY's PORTRAIT.
tsketched by his mother. ]

tSketched by his mother.
A little head Of shapely mold,
Two baby eyes SO bright and bold,
A dainty little nose;
Two little cheeks so round and fair,
With tiny dimples hiding there
Like dewdrops in a rose.
A little mouth so fragrant sweet,
A tiny dimpling chin SO neat,
And both Just made to kiss;
Two cunning ears each in its place.
A baby forehead set with grace.
Whose photograph is this?
Two sturdy shoulders, broad and square,
Two chubby hands 50 fat and fair,
And cunning feet 50 coy;
A roguish smile for you and me,
Sweet baby ways; now, don't you see
The portrait Of our boy?

If you want knowledge, you must toll
for it; If food. you must toll for it, and
If pleasure you must toll for it. Toll is

newspaper, to secure ee-planting day
for the state, The speaker said it must
be extremely gratifying to Mr.. Morton,
as the founder of Arbor Day, to observe
the wide influence that is now welded
by the idea he originated and cham
pioned, while opposed by Indifference
and ridicule. The speaker quoted an
appropriate verse Of poetry to give Mr..
Morton suitable send-off and deserved
praise in establishing such beautiful
custom.
"The speaker said that the wide
spread attention given to Arbor Day
proved that the youth of America were
alive to the delights of sylvan beauty.
1t showed that love for the beautiful
had place in the thoughts of the stu
dent. They tell us that this is pro-
sale age said the speaker; deny it
They say the scramble for wealth is
shutting out all freedom of thought, and
narrowing the sentiments of human
kind. Prove it to be false Prove that
the young men and women, who have
received the beautiful custom of Arbor
Day into the schools of Montana are
free to climb the heights of ambition,
and are not held back by the burden of
commonplace things"

Che Conservative.

Thy hberS knit the dreamless head, thy roots
are clasped about the bones,
And gazing on thee, sullen tree, sick from thy
stubborn hardihood,
seem to fail from out my blood, and grow in
sensate into thee
II believe that the mystic soul Of the
universe has implanted in the heart of
man a deep reverence for the evidence of
that mysterious force, that in the spring
time beauties the world. When the
world was young the races worshipped
the sum- the changes of day and night,
and of the seasons are still mighty prob
lens, to which science has addressed
itself in it's search for the key to the
mysteries of life. There has always
been something hidden behind the veil !;
there always will be; it is delightful
not to know everything; to be charmed
with a mystery that is enveloping the
world, and is yet unrevealed. Butte
Mont. Miner, May ID.
The Anaconda Standard, speaking of
the same event, in it's issue of May 10,
said
81. Sterling Morton, the author of
Arbor Day, is one of the pioneers of Ne
braska, and has for forty-six years been
one of the foremost citizens of that
state, always closely identified with the
social, political, and material life of the
commonwealth. He was one of the ter
ritorial governors of the state, and was
frequently honored by the democratic
party with nominations for important
offices. During Cleveland's second
term as president, Mr.. Morton was his
secretary of agriculture. In Nebraska
Mr.. Morton is faniliarly known as the
sage of Arbor Lodge his beautiful
country home near Nebraska City, be-
ing named Arbor Lodge. Mr. Morton
is farmer, a lawyer, and journalist.
He has been in the newspaper business,
in one way or another, ever since he ar
rived in the west, in 1854, and has
edited a number of papers. He is now
publishing THE CONSERVATIVE, a weekly
paper, devoted to discussions of politi-
cal, economic, and sociological ques-
tions.
"In some of the states, legislatures
have appointed bird day in connection
with their Arbor Day. Children in the
schools are taught the value of birds,
and the necessity for their protection, as
we'll as the need of forests. The forests
afford shelter for the birds, and the in
sect life furnishes them food. With the
disappearance of forests their food be-
comes insufficient, and they are driven
into the fields, where they become easy
prey to their enemies. With the disap-
pearance of the birds, destructive in
sects increase, and they find their way
into the orchards, domestic trees, and
gardens. Half century ago such fruit
pests as the San Jose scale, the Cooling
moth, Woolly -aphis, and hosts of others
that are now so common, were practi-
cally unknown, or gave very little trou-
BILE. Their harmful numbers now are
generally recognized as due to the dis
appearance of the birds that had kept
them in subjection. 1t is rightly argued,
therefore, that by protecting the birds,
and increasing the forests, the insect
pests will gradually cease"

May IA, 1901, in speaking of Arbor Day
