GOT A DOVER FOR HIS BRIDE.
shrevd Wcstcrner Headed Subscrip- tiOn List and Donations
 Were Liberal.

Some years ago when the west was wilder and more wooly than 1t Is to-day a young man, since grown ricn and now famous as financier and capitalist, was regular board or at a hotel i'll d frontier town. He and & number of his friends were wont to resort every evening to the smoking-room of the hotel which they used a sort of club and their wants were attended to by fair wait ress who may be called Miss White. She was nice quiet girl, without any nonsense about her and attended to the wants of her patrons with regularity and promptitudc, relates the Chicago Chronicle.
 One evening after she had retired for the night the landlord informed the company that this was the last night she would wait upon them, as she was going to be married next day. When the landlord had gone out Jimmie Hughes, the young man referred to. got up and said he thought it only right that they should show their appreciation of ner services by making her little present on this suspicious occasion. He took a sheet of paper, wrote his name down for $200 and passed it round. The girl was popular and the idea caught on and when 1t came round again to generous Jimmie the total amount. ed to something over $2000. They sum moned the landlord, handed over the amount to him and asked him to give it to Miss White next morning with their hearty good wishes for her happiness. Next day she was married and the happy bridegroom Was-,Jimmie Hughes.

PURSUING DELUSIONS.
Better Educate For tho Hirb Station of Private Life Than Pursue
 the Official Bee.

There IS no more agregious error, says Prof. J. J. Britt, of North Caro- lima, than for teacher or parent to hold up the ambitious and aspiring youth, as stimulant to eXertion, the probability of his becoming a prcsi- dent or goyeronr of q state It is a fact of history and statistics that in this great country of ours only one man out of twenty-nine million can reach the presidency of the United States. When you reflect that it is restricted to native born male citi- lzens who have attained the age of 35 years, aside from the thousand and one other contingencies, the bright youth may see how infnitcsmally small are his chances to become president of the United States. He stands less than one chance in five hundred thousand of becoming gov ernor of North Carolina and an al- most equally slim chance of becom- Ing senator in congress. He stands one chance in seventy-fivc thousand of becoming a representative in con gross, and on infinitely less chance of becoming a foreign minister or the president of a great college. There is another and a grander consideration. The highway of public life is strewn with wrecked fortunes, blighted am bitions, and blasted hopes. Besides it opens the way for temptations to corruption, deceit and malpractice. You must disabuse your minds of the dclusion that there is no greatness outside of public life. There is an- other and grandcr field for develop mcnt, and that is in the exalted sta- tions of private life.

His Abiding Faith.

He was simple man with childlike faith in the doctor. The verdict had been pro- nounced. There were unmistakable symp toms and a certain salt and rigid diet were prescribed. As soon as he had taken one beef, potatoes, white bread, strawberries and little cup of coffee, he plucked up courage and saw himself galloping toward health. The salt was an eight-ounce bottle and the metal cover screwed on. Unscrewing the cover before breakfast of the next day, he cut the forefnger of his left hand, for he was singularly clumsy. Blood poisoning set if he could have given that salt fair chance he was sure that it would have cured him. Boston Journal.

PRODUCTIVE EDUCATION.
Gov. Montague of Virginia, Pleads For Manual Training in the
 Public Schools.

The social, commercial and indus trial state of the common .Iealth has almost wholly changed in the last thirty-tive years, says Gov. Montague of Virginia. These changes have i'm posed new conditions that must be met with courage, energy and intelli- gencc, or we must fatally lag behind in the march of progress and civili- zation. Education for speculative thinkers and professions will not save the people. But few of the many who ever enter public schools make their living other than by the use of their hands and eyes. Why not, therefore, educate those facul- ties and members which produce the substance and comforts of life? Such education is not merely material. Up- on labor all civilization primarily rests, and the education of this labor will teach knowing by doing, and blend science with art. It will beget habits of order, accuracy, industry and intelligence; it will produce con- tentment and develop skill and pro- ductive power; it will dignify labor and encrgizc the creative forces of society. Thesc momontous neer. can be greatly facilitated. if not ac- complishcd, by some forms of indus trial education. Ample experience affords indisputablc proof of the practical and ethical value of this form of education, which in some branches may be introduced into many of our public schools with lit tie, if any, additional cost: and in a few years we shall have a system of teaching that will popularize the free schools and powerfully advance the state.

Practical Education the Thing.

You find here and there individual men who talk against education for one class of people or another, but when you get down to the facts of the case, says Edgar Gardner Mur- phy, you usually find that these men are objecting, not to education in it. self, but to some spacious and un- practical form of miseducation. For all classes of our people, there has been too much of the education that looks toward vanity, and not enough of that education which looks toward a common sense, practical equipment for the actual opportunities of life. This is the form of education in which we are especially interested. We believe in it for the white man., and we believe in it for the negro.

The spirit of indecision in the world is simply appalling. Every day hundreds of people say they will do certain things, or "think the matter over," and then never arrive at positive conclusion. Day after day, and month after month, the same mat ters come up and are put off, and nothing is men the same as others. It is one of the worst faults of the human family.-Atchison Glohe

ONCE A NEwsBoY.

Should the Prince Of Wales become
king of England he will be the first
monarch who can look back at the
years and say, 81, a Prince, was
once newsboy."
And he would be stating something
that only a few know about.
Years ago when the prince, then
the Duke of York, was touring Gan.
ada, he stopped at Frederickstown,
N. B. To make his subjects realize
that he was as much a mortal as they,
he travelled in a regular day coach,
and his uniform was simple and very
much like that of the train butcher. 4"
The train remained only a few
minutes at Frederiokstown, and no
demonstration was made in honor Of
the princes arrival. He had no re-
spending speeches TO make,so he spent
the time reading a number of news
papers. He was thus engaged when
Sir Thomas Temple, famous as one of
Canada's lawmakers, came into the
car. Sir Thomas, never having seen
the prince, approached the young man
with the papers on his knees, took
one of them from him, handed the
prince 3 nickel, saying, as he did So:
Here, boy, let me have paper. I"
The princes good nature made him
appreciate the situation, and he smil-
ed broadly after Sir Thomas as that
gentleman went out into the forward
coach.

the owls away. But they didn't
Finally an old man came along, ar
irving the day that did. He said he
could get rid Of them owls in one
night, and was given permission to
try. He did it. Taking a long pole,
he secured an old scythe and sharp
ened it until it would almost shave.
This he placed near the top of the
pole, edge up, sticking out from the
pole like tine crossarm Of telegraph
pole. On the top of the pole he tied
an old hen. The theory was that the
owls would swoop down and knock
the fowl of. You know an owl knocks
anything off so it can catch it with
its claws as it tails. Well, these owls
would swoop down, and being unable
to dislodge the chicken, try to catch
themselves ON the soythe blade. When
they touched, it cut their toes of, and
Hopping about trying to steady them
selves by their necks they would then
cut their heads off. The next morning
gentlemen, l went under thai tree and
picked up bushels and half Of toes
and heads, but nary an owl did any of
us ever see, and don't know to this
day what became of them"
When Captain Bill Rollins heard
that yarn, he decided there was no
hope for him and Captain Eph Bal.

Seats happened to be rather scarce
in a passenger train that came in the
other day, so some Of the white pas
sengers had to go TO the colored Sec
ton for place TO sit. One man who
had a jug in his hand and jag in
his clothes sauntered in and when he
sat down failed to notice that he was
trying TO make a cushion OF = basket
Of eggs The eggs had been left there
by an old colored woman who was
bringing them here to sell, and as she
was doing in the seat in front she
failed to perceive the catastrophe that
had befalled them. When Paducah
was reached and she reached over and
grabbed the basket, the bibulous man
betokened a desire to stick to it, but
finally was separated from the sticky
seat and sat and looked stupid as
the woman shook her big black fist in
his blinking eyes. She threatened to
sue the company, but just as the train
stopped thought better and with her
umbrella belabored the man in such a
manner as to convince him that it is
usually prudent when in strange
places to look where you sit.

there is a serious probability of Gap
