Frank had forgotten 1t all, when that
evening he was going downtown to
spend little time with the boys. AS
he passed Jim's home Jim's mother
came to the door.
Frank" she called. 'I wish you
would take this overcoat to Jim. He
went off without it, and as it is getting
quite cold l am afraid he ought to
have it,"
She brought out n wide-caped coat
that, when Frank had thrown it over
his shoulders. almost covered him from
view. 1t was gray and had become
known as the peculiar garment of the
owner, being the only one in the town
of the kind. Frank laughed as he en-
veloped himself in the ample folds and
went whlstling down the street.
Good disguise, this" he thought,
and wondered if any one would take
him for Jim.
A thin old horse was standing in
the road nibbling at the disappearing
grass. Picking up a stick he threw it
at the animal and shouted at the top
of his voice. The horse went off at u
pitiful hobbling gait to escape its tor
mentor.
Strange that Jim Colson should do
that" he heard some one behind him
say. In the gathering dusk it was not
easy to determine who it was.
"Yes, he is such a gentleman" came
the reply. Il believe there is Il great
future for that boy"

HEROES AND HEROES.

We give unstinted praise TO the man
Who is brave enough to die;
But the man who struggles unhinchingly
Against the currents Of destiny
And bears the storm of adversely,
We pass unnoticed by.
We've plaudits and tears for him who
falls.
Borne down in the shock Of strife;
But word of cheer we neglect to say
To him who plods on his dreary way
And fights in silence from day to day
The unseen battles Of life.
There's courage, I grant, required to face
Grim death on the CORY field.
There's also courage required to meet
Life's gurden and sorrow; TO brave defeat;
To strive with evil and not retreat;
To suffer and not to yield.

What is that?"
"The president is going to put three
boys in the general offices to become
clerks ana work their way up in the
world. He wants TO take two from
this town, because he was born here
but guess he viii take only one
Jim"
Frank had not heard anything about
it and was surprised that such fortune
was TO come to his friend.
But another surprise was in store
A little farther down the street two
men came alongside. In the dusk he
could barely recognize them-hls teach
er and the president The former
called to him, though Frank was hur-
rying away: James, see here"
Frank halted little, feeling
ashamed Of his false position, yet ex-
pecting that he would be recognized
properly when they came nearer.
"The matter has been decided" the
professor went on. "and you may be
prepared to go to the city on Monday.
Mr.. Harris has decided to take only
you from this city. He liked one other
boy in the class. but was afraid that
he lacked neatness and attention"
Frank thought of his frously hair
and dlsrespectful attitude in the
schoolroom that afternoon with keen
regret.

right to remember it,"
How Frank wanted to get away.
At the first store he turned from his
companions and entered. The men
went ON, and then he sought Jim.
"Here's your coat" he said, handing
over the big garment. "Your mother
sent 1t to you. So you are going to
the city?"
"Why. the teacher said something
about 1t this afternoon. Maybe you
will 60, too. He talked as IL there

Some moments are there in every life
When the spirit longs for rest
When the heart is filed with a bleak de.
spair;
When the weight of trouble, remorse and
care
Seems really greater than we can bear,
And death were a welcome guest.
But we crush it down and we go our way
To the duties that lie in wait
From day to day we renew the fcht,
10 resist the wrong and to seek the right.
10 climb at last to the suncrownel
height
And to triumph DER time and fate
And thus-.for my heart goes out to them
- My need of praise | would give
10 those who struggle life's path along,
The host OF toll, who are patient, strong,
The unrewarded, unnumbered throng,
Who are brave enough to live.

1t has been source Of much sur
prise to Professor Nordenskjold that
during his expedition within the Arctic
Circle, in regions where animal life
is abundant. he has found very few re-
mains of animals which died natural
death. No one has any idea of what
becomes of the bodies of such ami
mails. And it is, indeed, very strange
that on Spit2bergen it is easier to find
bones of a gigantic lizard of remote
geological time than those of a self
dead seal, walrus or bird. The same Is
also true Of some places not so far

a little as though he thought he had
done something smart.

"He is friend of boys and is always
glad to see and talk with them"
A courtly stranger came into the
room. He was visiting in the neigh
borhood and had asked TO be allowed
to have a talk with the older boys of
the school. He talked to them of the
needs of the successful man in the
world; of the influence of manliness

300 in Beaufort Bank.
Beaufort. S. c., July 16.-Ten negroes
belonging to this neighborhood have
just returned from the Philippine ISL
ands. where they have seen service
with the Forty-ninth Volunteer In
fantry.
Isaac Fraser. from Ladies' Island, in
Beaufort county who has served in and
around Manila for upwards of two
years, gives a very intelligent account
of his army life He saw Aguinaldo
before ard since his capture, and de-
scribes the insurgent chief as being
small in stature but as possessing a
decided military bearing. Soon after
his arrival here Fraser deposited some
thing over $500 in the Bank of Beau
fort, and when asked how he had man
aged to save so much money out of
his slim army pay of $1,000 per month,
broad grin oVerpread his ebon hued
face and he said, ooh, | played poker
with the boys"
Two of the men died on an army
transport en- route from Yokohama, ia
pan, to San Francisco, and their re-
mains were forwarded here by the gov
eminent in metallic cases and buried
at their former homes on St. Helena
Island
Fraser proudly displayed his bronze
Philippine campaign medal, but added
that he was glad to get home again
after his long absence. Asked about
Manila, the capital city of the Phil
ippines, the negro said that "since its
occupation by the Americans, subse-
quent to its recapitulation, it had be-
come rapidly modernized. and the an
cient Spanish trade mart had for the
most part disappeared and been sup
