Now when the man had lost his
arm in the wreck we knelt near him
and wept bitterly, telling him to be of
good cheer.
And the man needed our words and
smiled.
And when we asked him why our
simple words had cheered him so, he
made answer, saying:
Fortune often hides in the least ex-
pected places. Never again will I
have to put acids on my hands and
arm to give them the appearance of
being affected with sores and disease,
In order to obtain aims from the peo-
pie of charity. And who will expect
a One-armed man to work?'

we understand it not.

GAMBLING DEFINED.

Some little time ago a number
Of well known gentlemen-oue or
two of whom were mem bers of
the Town Council-were huled
before the Magistrate of a provin.
cial town. The defendants were
interested in a bazar promoted
on behalf of the local hospital, and
one of the attractions had been a
spinning Jenny tee; to. .tum,"
which the prosecution alleged
was ''game of chance" and rem
dered the participators in it to be
proceeded against. A local gro
Ger, in giving his evidence for the
prosecution, was exceedingly
severe on the unfortunate defen-
dants.
"Now, look here, Mr., x"
broke in of the defendants at
length, show would you define
the term of gambling"
The grocer declared that "any-
thing was gambling when you
didn't know what you wor goin'
to get for your money"
Indeed !" retorted the defen.
dant, turning to the Magistrates
clerk. "Will you make a note of
that, sir? Mr.. X-himself is H.
able to be proceeded against.
COWS that ?" shouted Mr..

THINKING OF THE STARS.
A Habit More Common in the
Country Than in Town.


Country Than in Town.
"It is interesting to observe
how the people think of the
stars" said an observant man.,
"and 1 am of the opinion that the
more time passes away the less
the masses of people think Of
them. Human beings multiply
every day, and the more the pop
ulation increases the less the peo-
pie think of the stars. To think
deeply of the stars you must be
in solitude, away from the mad
dening crowd and in the country,
at sea or on some lonely shore.
Since forests are turned into vii
lagos and villages into towns and
cities, the people, as a whole, get
to be less solitary and conse-
quently less thoughtful about the
celestial machinery This sounds
rather strange, but it is true and
can readily be understood. Take
the people who live in cities
where sky scrapers and electric
lights interfere with the view of
the heavens. They seldom think
of the stars. There is no dismal
darkness for them to peer
through, and they occupy them
selves with other things.
''Ihen, on the other hand, take
country people. In their loneli-
ness they are bound to mediate
considerably about the stars and
the creation in general. They re-
mind me of men on the ocean. l
have known men at sea to dream
all sorts of things about the
stars, and while on ship l often
thought that some of these star
gazers would take to astronomy.
/ was disappointed, however, as l
afterward discovered that their
meditations about the planets
were due to the solitary mode of
life they had suddenly begun to
lead, and | have since found out
that men who are not used to
loneliness will become genuine
dreamers if they remain in soil.
tude for ever so short a time. 1t
seems as if solitude makes per-
sons thoughtful about the crea-
tion, and they are forced to think
wonderingly about many things. "

eyes, my boy, Don't let me
be left. "
In two seconds the bootblack
was on his knees and hard at
work.
"The train is going, SIR" said
he, as he gave the last touch. -
The man gave him a half.dollar
and started for the train. The
boy counted out the change and
ran after. his patron, but was too
late, for the train had gone.
Two years later the same man,
on coming to New York, met the
bootblack, but had forgotten him.
The boy remembered his former
customer and asked him
"Didn't shine your shoes once
in the Grand Central depot"
"Some boy did, said the man.
II am the boy, and here is
your change, sir"
The gentleman was so pleased
with the lads honesty that he
went with him to see his mother
and offered to adopt him, as he
needed such boy. The mother
consented, and the honest boot
black had, pfter that, a good
home. He was given good edu-
cation, and, when a man, became
partner in his friends large
