AN EXPERIMENTALIsT.
He was an eHperirlentalIst. and when
old Mrs. ShackIefor0 came with her son,
JOHN. Whom she described as good boy
in everything except .cussin,'" and
wanted to enter him, the teacher declared
that he thought he could break him Of
that unSentlemanly habit without whip

Johnnie said: Paw cusses n cuss,
and all un US cusses," a few days after
.Johnnie's advent some Of us were playing
"knux."' and johnnie came in last and OF
course had to ''knuckle down. The first
shot was from boy with q powerful

square on the joint of his middle finger
and was a singer. He Immediately cussed.
and the teacher happened to hear him.
He called Johnnie in, and after Sc

A GREAT PROVOCATION.
A very powerful boy happened to catch
the ball; ard Johnnie, in trying to SIDE
step to avoid it. caught a singer on the
funny bone of his left arm. The blow
was so sudden. and the pain so intense
that Johnnie was born again. and the

tense that the atmosphere was blue.

Johnnie began to cry and beg as soon
as he saw him, and must confess that
it was a pitiable sight to see the poor
little fellow SO objectly pen!tent for an
offense which the teacher and we all
knew was committed under such niti-
eating circumstances.
"Come here, sir said the teacher, as

Food, Drink and . Penny.

Not many tourists whoshave visited England, even among those who made point of visiting out-of-the-way cor ners, ever heard of curious old mon- astery that stands back of Twyford, little town near Southampton. It is very old place, with an old and thick stone wall around it. In this wall there is n wicket gate, and by this gate monk is always stationed. The monk is there to halt every trayeler that goes by, and, having halted him, he gives him cup of ale, crust of bread and a penny. Centuries ago, it seems, someone died and in his will left to the monastery an endowment that was to ease the way of weary travellers by giving them this refreshment and a small coin. As long, therefore, as the monastery stands a monk will stand by it's wicket gate and every traveller who passes will be cheered with a drink, a bite and. a penny.-Detroit Free Press.

One sees only the appearances of luxury and of gayety i'll this glitter ing community. Despair would make a blot upon it. Those who have lost their fortunes disappear like magic, and while the newspapers announce on their first page, Monsieur le Due has left the azure coast and has re- turned to his sumptuous apart ments," the poor devil goes to con- ceal his shame in some little shanty lost in the ocean of Parisian room, says Harper's Weekly. But all have not the courage to go away. Many stay. Of such not a word is heard. The cold, the rain, the fog, ruin, and death are and ought to be, according to the announcement of the company and the press, wholly unknown in. this favored spot.
