TennNSOn'& Enriy Poems.

Tennyson We only eight years old
when he covered both sides of his
brothers slate with poem on Flow
ers," done in unimpeachable meter. His
brother had said to him. See if you
can write poetry" and when he read
the verse on the slate he merely said,
you've done it." Between the ages Of
eleven and twelve the young poet wrote
an epic of over 1900 lines in ScOtt's
octosyllabics mingled with heroics.
These were the only finished poems of
Tennyson'S boyhood, but when about
fourteen or fifteen years old he COM
menced drama in iambic meter which
still survives. Thus he practiced him
self in three different meters before he
began seriously to write or publish.

The Divinity of Justice.

The one divine work, the one ordered
sacrifice, is to do justice, and it is the
last we are ever inclined to do. Any
thing rather than that; as much char
ity as you choose, but no justice.
'Nay," you will say, charity is great
er than justice" Yes, it is greater; it
is the summit of justice; it is the tenn
pie of which justice is the foundation.
But you can't have the top without the
bottom; you cannot build upon char
ity.
You must build upon justice for this
main reason-that you have not at first
charity to build with. 1t is the last
reward of good work. Do justice to
your brother-you can do that whether
you love him or not-and you will come
to love him. 1t is all very fine to think
you can build upon charity to begin
with, but you will find all you have got
to begin with begins at home and is
essentially love of yourself.-John Rus

silencing the Questioners.

A French gentleman who had been
with NJ de Talleyrand for twenty years
accompanied him to the congress at
Vienna after Napoleon's exile to Elba.
People naturally concluded that this
long intimacy had made him familiar
with a number of particulars of the
minister's life and bearing also upon
the events with which he had been
mixed up. Worried with questions, the
friend invariably replied that he knew
nothing, but the questioners would not
be satisfied and returned to the charge.
Every WE'LL" finally said '"alleyrand's S
confidant, 'I'll tell you peculiar and
altogether unknown fact in connection
with NJ. de Talleyrand. Since Louis
XIV. he's the only man who can open a
soft. boiled egg with one backward
stroke of his knife without spilling a
drop Of the contents of the shell. That's

ton with him."

The Rheumatic Fiends.

81 have been in the business for nine
years." says drug clerk quoted by the
Philadelphia Record, "and up to date
have learned of 1867 cures for rheu-
matism which regularly licensed ply
sicians know nothing about-or, at
least, if they do, they don't recommend
them. People come in suffering from
rheumatism-and it's queer that peo-
pie who suffer from rheumatism all
seem to look and act alike-and present
doctors prescription.
"The first thing they want to know is
how much it's going to cost. look
over the prescription and tell them,
and then they invariably rear up on
their hind legs and howl. They tell me
about the virtues of something that
cured Uncle Henry-goat's milk, drunk
at o'clock every morning; a raw on
ion carried in the left hand hip pocket
a horsechestnut carried in the vest
pocket, magnetic rings-oh, all sorts
of things that I've made notes of. II
has become so that l am discouraged
over the chances of filling a prescrip,

Political Fences.

''The political expression keeping
your fences fixed,'" said an old CAM
paigner. sis due to a remark once made
by Senator John Sherman.
''It was at time when the senator
had amassed the most of his fortune.
He had farm near his home town,
and while preparing to drive out to it
one afternoon he was accosted by a
book agent, who labored hard to sell
one of his books. Mr.. Sherman was
not in a mood to make any such pur-
chases, and he finally silenced the man
by saying: L can't afford to buy your
book. 1t takes all my money to keep
my fences fixed
''In reality Mr.. Sherman referred to
the fences on his farm, but some of his
political associates, hearing of the re-
mark few days later, took it up at
once and made political phrase of it.
1t was first confined only to the state
of Ohio, but it has now become SO
common that no one ever takes the
trouble to wonder where it originated y

A Difficult Feat.

In the old days of western Pennsyl-
vania, when the people had little mon
ey to pay for teachers and could spare
their boys but little time from the work
of the field, school kept almost in
cessantly during the few weeks when
it was in session, with no Saturday
holidays and very brief recesses. At
one little schoQlhouse among the noun
tains an old fashioned Irish schoOlmas-
ter was once employed who kept his
boys grinding steadily at their tasks,
but gave them permission to nibble
from their lunch baskets sometimes as
they worked.
One day, while the master was in
structing a class in the ryle of three,
he noticed that one of the pupils was
paying more attention to a piece of ap-
pie pie than to the lesson. "Arrah,
therew said the master. Jack Bales,

A BOND REQUIRED.
Street Railway Directors Ask

Secretary Clark Returns From the
South and Reports Favorable
Interview with Collins.

A. E. Clark, who returned Mon
morning from his trip to Texas, met
]. 81. Collins at Beaumont, where he
is about to build an electric line from
that town to Port Arthur, distance
of twenty miles or more.
Mr.. Collins assured Mr.. Clark that
the Msnkato deal would go through,
and that the contracts had been
awarded. The Arbuckle, Ryan Go. Is
to carry the enterprise through.
MIR. Clark gave Mr.. Collins to un-
derstand plainly that the Mankato
people wanted to know it at once, II
the deal was not going to be carried
through, as other firms stand ready TO
take the matter up and pusn IL
through. He told Mr.. Collins that it
would be necessary for him and Mr.,
Williams to have work actually begin
in this city not later than Wednesday
of this week, or that bond be put up
within the same time that the con-
tract would be carried out.
Mr.. Collins demurred strongly, but
finally agreed to do as Mr.. Clark had
asked. He thought Mr.. Clark hard in
his terms. He said that Mr.. Weed
had intended to finance the enter
prise, but his terms had been so steep
that he and Williams could not COM
ply. The Arbuckle Ryan CO. now pro-
pose to take it up. Williams was in
the east, but would be in Chicago TO-
day. Owing to the change in. the
plaps as to financial backing, some
delay had ensued, which was un-
avoidable.
Mr.. Clark expresses the belief that
Mr.. Collins intends to carry out the
contract and build the line.
Mr.. Clark retains the certificates of
deposit of the SEQ, 900, and will con-
tinue to hold them. He succeeded in
getting them on Mr.. Collins last visit,
as it was not desirable that they
should be held outside of the city,
with the present outlook.
The directors of the Mankato and
st. Peter Railway and Lighting Co.
held meeting at p. m. Saturday,
but took no action. It was decided to
adjourn until today, to hear Mr..
Clark's report
"A meeting was held today at Mr..
Clark's .ofice, at 80 p. m, and he
made report substantially as stated
above. The directors thought that not
much more delay ought to be allowed,
and a resolution was adopted, allow
ing Collins and Williams one week in
which to put up bond for $50, 600 for
the faithful performance of their con-
tract. No other action was taken.
Secretary Clark telegraphed Collins
this afternoon that the bond must be
forthcoming Immediately.
Mr.. Collins, on his first visits to the
city, made a strong point of his
promise to furnish "a bond for twice
the amount of the cost of the road.
The action of the directors today
will bring matters to crisis, and
show whether Messrs Collins and
Williams intend TO carry out their
contract.

taking Ones own Pulse.

Being able to 'take" ones own pulse
is doubtful accomplishment, because
the heart has some peculiarities, the
Importance of which are sure to be
overestimated except by physicians,
and much uneasiness occasioned in
consequence. Irregularity of the pulse
is naturally to no small number of
people without other signs of disease.
1t may also be simply a transient
symptom, due to errors of habit or
other causes, which, disappearing,
leave no trace behind them.
