Those acquainted with the char
acter and style Of the town OF La
Junta will be considerably impress
ed by the announcement that La
Junta is going to celebrate the
glorious Fourth. 1t does not
mean, when La Junta undertakes
any special enterprise, that it will
be perfunctory or hall hearted or
crude. There is not communi-
ty in the valley that is so thorough
going in business, in industries, or
in social affairs. and therefore it
may be predicted that La Junta's
celebration will be something
great.-Pneblo Chieftain.

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
How to Tell the Time.

I've JUS learned to tell the time,
Nv mother teached me to,
An eff you think you'd like to learn,
I guess l might teach you;
At first, though, it's as hard as fun,
An makes you twist and turn,
An mother says that they is folks.
Big folks, what never learn.
You stand before the clock, JUS so,
An start right at the top;
That's twelve o'clock, an when you
reach
The little hand, you stop;
Now, that's the hour, but you've got
To watch what you're about,
Because the hardest part is to come,
To find the minutes out.
You go right back again to where
You started from, an see
How far the minute-hand's away,
Like this-you're watchin' me?-
An when you've found the minute
hand
You multiply by five
An then you've got the time O. day,
As sure as you're alive.
They's folks, I know, what says that
they
Don't have to count that way,
That they can tell by JUS a glance
At any time O day;
But I don't blieve no fbs like that,
Because eff that was true,
My Ma would know it, but she
showed
Me like Pm shown you.

age. I know what it is to travel
weary miles and ask my fellow-men
to give me leave to toll. I remember
that in September, 1888, I walked
into your village from my native
town, and went through your mills
seeking employment. lie anybody
had offered me eight or nine dollars
a month, I would have accepted it
gladly. I went to Salmon Falls, I
went to Dover, I went to Newmarket
and tried to get work, without sue
cess; and I returned home, weary,
but not discouraged, put my pack
on my back, and walked to the town
where I now live, and learned a me-
chanic's trade. The first month I
worked after I was twenty-one years
of age, I went into the woods, drove
a team, cut m~ill-logs, and chopped
wood; and though / rose in the
morning before daylight, and work

PINKY'S
The Story of a Pet Postum.

Most wild animals stoutly resist
all of our well-intentioned efforts to
bring them UP in door-yard ways,
and take to the woods again with
the first opportunity. [ have tanned
many squirrels, but, sooner or later,
every one of them has escaped to the
wilds. I have never known but one
wild animal that wanted to be do
mesticated, that refused to stay in
the woods when taken there; and
hat was a little possum, named,
from the color of his long nose,
"Pinky."
He was one of a family of nine
hat I caught, several springs ago,
and carried home. In the course of
a few weeks his brothers and sisters
were adopted by admiring friends;
but Pinky, because he was the
"runt," and looked very sorry and
forlorn, was not chosen. He was
left with me. I kept him, for his
mother was dead, and fed him on
milk until he caught up to the size
of the biggest mother-fed possum
of his age in the woods. Then I
took him down to the old stump in
the brier-patch where he was born,
and left him to shift for himself.
Being thrown into a brier-patch
was exactly what tickled "Br'er Rab-
bit" half to death, and any one would
have supposed that being put gently
down in his home brier-patch would
have tickled this little possum still
more. Not he! 1 went home and
forgot him. But the next morning,
when breakfast was preparing, what
should we see but Pinky, curled up

How One Boy Made a Beginning.

The boy who has the right element
in him need not be discouraged by
poverty. The majority of the men
whose names are honored and loved
in this country began as poor boys.
Henry Wilson, who served the State
of Massachusetts as Senator, before
being elected Vice-President of the
United States, once told a New
Hampshire audience these facts from
his early life:
II was borne here in your coun-
try. I was born in poverty. Want
sat by my cradle. I know what it is
to ask a mother for bread when she
has none to give. I left my home at
ten years of age, and served an ap-
premiership of eleven years, receiv-
ing a months schooling each year,
and, at the end of eleven years hard
work, a yoke of oxen and six sheep,
which brought me eighty-four dol
lars. A dollar would cover every
penny I spent from the time l was
born until I was twenty-one years of

In the early part of October, says
Country Life in America, the beau
tiful fr1nged gentian may still be
found, while the witchhazel glorifes
the thickets of It's abode, and with
the seeds of its last years flowers
bombards the intruder. Late asters
and feabanes also linger, and now
and then one of the children of the
spring, a violet or a dandelion, shy
" begs notice and a tender caress as
a little stranger in an inhospitable
world. But for the most part the
flowers have departed, leaving in
quaint and wondrous seed pods their
pledges of sure return when spring
bids them awake.

in the feather cushion of the kitch-
en- s~ettee, fast asleep.
He had found his way back during
the night, had climbed in through
the trough of the pump-box, and had
gone to sleep like the rest of the
family. He gaped and smiled and
looked about him when awakened,
altogether at home, but really sur
prised that morning had come so
soon.
He took his saucer of milk under
the stove as if nothing had happen
ed. We had had a good many pos
sums, crows, lizards, and the like, so,
in spite of this winsome show of con-
fdence and affection, Pinky was
borne away once more to the briers.
He did not creep in by the pump-box
trough that night. Nothing was
seen of him, and he passed quickly
out of III minds. Two or three days
after this I was crossing the back
yard, and stopped to pick up a big
calabash-gourd that had been on the
woodpile. I had cut a round hole,
somewhat larger than a silver dol
lar, in the gourd, intending to fasten
it up for the bluebirds to nest in.
It ought to have been as light as so
much air, almost, but instead it was
heavy-the children had filled it with
sand, no doubt. I turned it over and
peeked into the hole, and 10! there
was Pinky.
How he managed to squeeze
through that opening 1 don't know,
but there he was, sleeping away as
soundly as ever.
But that's just like him-always
a puzzle. He is most stupidity wise
or most wisely stupid.
And what became of him then?
My heart smites me whenever / think
of it. I took him back again to the
woods the third time, and again he
returned, but Numbered into a
neighbours yard, and-and a little
later he was drawn up in a bucket
of water from the bottom of that
neighbours well, still asleep, only
they could not wake him up.-Dal-
las Lore Sharp, in the October st.
