SAILING AROUND THE cow.
How an Old Sea-Captain Was Mis-
led by the Lowing of the
Ships Milk Producer.

Many a sea-captain has sailed
around the world since the adven-
turous voyage of Capt. Cook, but
few navigators have tried what the
captain of an East Indiaman used
to relate rs an experience OF his own,
says the Youths Companion.
He was out one foggy night, and
sounded his fog-horn, as every wise
captain should. From the starboard
SIDE came the sound of a fog-horn, ap-
parently from a vessel very close,
and showing no lights,
Port your helm," shouted the cap
tain, and the order vas obeyed. Then
he blew his horn again. Back from
the same relative position, although
the ship had altered her course three
points, came the sound of that an
swering fog-horn.
Hard aport!" roared the captain.
That, too, was done, and the signal
was tried again. Back from exactly
the same position, although his YES
sci had O w changed her course seven
points, came the sound of that fog
horn.
The captain, alarmed, was just 60
ing to give the order to reverse the
engines, when one of the officers dis
covered that the supposed fog-horn
was only the cow that was carried
on the forward deck to supply fresh
milk for the passengers.

slightly, and hold it up with your left
hand, as high as you can reach comfort
ably. Then with a pencil or light stick
in your left hand give a clean firm
stroke to the tip of the wing,
when the butterfly will soa The OBJ
ject is to catch it on the tablet. If
you succeed it counts ten to you,a and
your "go" next, and so on till it fails.
If it falls to the ground on your side
of a line agreed On it is still your"go,"
but counts only five. If it falls on the
side OF your opponent the go" and
count are his. One hundred is the linn
it of the game.
1t takes considerable skill to catch
the butterfly on the tablet, but it is
worth the practice both in pleasure
and profit, as it is an excellent exercise
for acquiring grace and frmness. 1t
requires the gentlest possible stroke
to lift the butterfly, and alertness to
catch or guide it where you wish it to
alight.
When once you master the knack, it
is fascinating and SO gentle that a
child in bed or crippled may play it.
The gentleness necessary adapts it
particularly to little shut-ins, while
the activity permitted and the pretty
sight tempts the players afield, where
the butterfly world goes, if alive, and
everyone may not follow.-People's

MATT ON A

other Matt in political sagacity. Matt
knows all the ordinary tricks of dogs,
and in addition he has accomplish
ments acquired and natural that are
almost human. He loves boys and
boys sports, and there is nothing that
he likes better than to mount a bicycle,
with a small boy to do the work, and
ride by the hour.
Another advertisement of Matt is to
mount a pony behind a boy, and, sit
ting astraddle, with his forefeet hug
ging the lad in the saddle, as any boy
would do, stay OF and ride as long as
they will let him. In the winter it is
his hearts delight to join the boys at
coasting and take a belly wopper"
along with the rest of them. At this
sport he never tires, and there is al
ways a place for Matt on the boys
sled. He is willing to do his part draw
ing the sled back again. too, and his
eyes sparkle and he shouts in his own
way just as the boys do i'll theirs.-De-

In about an hour Mr.. Rush and
John came back from the hotel. For
once in his life Mr.. Rush looked de-
jected, but Johns face was glowing.
"Rice," said Rush quickly, "this
young man is either a fool or else
he is very wise. In either case you
have my hearty congratulations. The
mail-train is due now. I'll be around
again in six weeks"
As soon as Rush had gone, John
turned to his employer and said very
earnestly:
Mr.. Rice, l am not going to leave
you. 1 am going to stay here in
Riverdale. You and Mr.. Rush speak
about my ambitions. I have had
just one ambition since l entered this
store, and that was to become so
successful that I could begin my
home life here in Riverdale with
comfort and respect. Now, by your
generous offer / can realize that
ambition. AS soon as the Oakburn
place car be put in order, Alice and
l intend to be married, and we shall
make our home here among the
scenes and the people that we love

his face and a Boston paper in his
hand.

said, land thinks I, I'll take Johns

John found this item:

envy voted to appoint Miss Alice Ray

large salary. Miss Raymond's success

John smiled as he said, "They will
have to find a new director as soon
as Alice gets my letter"
Mr.. Rice had begun to look anx-
ious again. "Will she-will she be
willing to give up such a chance as
that, John?"

1t was Alice who gave me this am

O B B FIGHT.
big Yellow Cat That Intended to
Have a Great Feast Put to Ig-
nOminiOus Flight.

One day as l was quietly picking wild
strawberries on a hill Yheard a curious
e%runting down the side below me, then
the quick thud! thud! of an angry
rabbit. Among the bushes l caught a
glimpse of rabbit ears. Afight was on.
Crouching beside a blush spot, which
/ knew to be a rabbits nest, was a big
yellow cat. He had discovered the
Young ones, and was making mouths at
the thought of how they would taste,
when the mothers thump startled him.
He s~quatted fat with ears back, tail
swelling and hair standing up along his
back, as the rabbit leaped over him. 1t
was a glimpse of Molly's ears as she
made the jump that l had caught. 1t
was the beginning of the bout-only a
feint by the rabbit, just to try the
mettle of her antagonist.
The cat was scared, and before he got
himself together, Molly, with a mighty
bound, was in the air again; and as
she flashed over him she fetched him a
stunning whack on the head that
knocked him endwise. He was on his
feet in an instant, but just in time to
receive a stunning blow on the ear that
sent him sprawling several feet down
the hill. The rabbit seemed constantly
in the air. Back and forth, over and
over the cat she few, and with every
bound landed a terrific kick with her
powerful hind feet that was followed
by a puff of yellow fur.
The cat could not stand, up to this.
Every particle of breath and fight was
knocked out of him at about the third
kick. The green light in his eyes was
the light Of terror. He got quickly to
a bush and ran away. else I believe that
the old rabbit would have beaten him
to death.-From wild Life Near

He Sent Him There.

A Joint committee of the recent
session of the Louisiana legislature
visited the state penal farms at An
COLA and Hope for the purpose of re-
porting on the work done by the
board of control. The members of
the committee spent some time talk
ing with the negro convicts, and
presently n of the negroes recog-
nized a member of the committee,
who is a rising young lawyer not
1000 miles from New Iberia.
"You know Mr.. B-?" inquired
n of the gentlemen.
"Yaas, sab, I knows Mr.. B. well.
He's de one dun sent me heah," re-
piled the darby, with a grin spread
all over his face.
The gentleman had not heard of
Mr.. B officiating as a %prosecut-
ing attorney and wanted to know
how he came to send the convict
there.
HE wuz nah lawyer, sah."
Mr.. B acknowledged that the
treat was on him, provided the incl
dent did not get any further.-New

TOO MUCH PET BEAR.
When Little boys Cute Cub Grew Up
1t Became just a Tribe Too
AfYectiOnate.

There is a sort of indescribable
f%acination in the thought of having a
real wild animal as a pet. A dog is
we'll enough in his way, and so is a cat,
or a pony, or a Squirrel; but where is
the boy that would not thrill clear
down to his boots with the idea of
having a pet bear, or a pet catamount?
Well, such things have been, but it
never turned one-half so nice as
it seemed at first.
Thereby hangs a little tale. A GER
tain ardent sportsman, a friend of the
writer, went to the A~dirondacks last
summe on a hunting excursion.
While there he and his party killed an
old she-bear and captured her cub, a
little roly-poly of a beast about the
size of a young Newfoundland puppy.
Now, the sportsman had a boy at home,
about four years old, whom he had
promised that he would bring him
something" when he returned from his
trip. So he concluded hat this cub
was just the thing. 1t was SO young,
and so very little, that he thought there
would be not the slightest trouble in
tanning and training it.
Of curse the boy was delighted with
his pet, just as he would have been
with a puppy, for he was too young
to know or think anything about the
wild animal part of it. 1t seems that
the father took real pride in the fact
that his boy had a SUR enough live
bear for a pet.
Everything went along very nicely
for awhile. The boy and the cub had
a mighty good time of it romping in the
yard. In fact, the cub acted pretty
much as a puppy would have done I'M
der the circumstances. But as the
months passed the cub grew very fast,
and it was not long until it was as big
as two or three puppies, and it got to be
pretty rough, too; not maliciously SO,
but in play, for it could not be expect
ed to know just how far it might go in
it's romp with a boy.
One day when the boy and the bear
were having an unusually good time on
the lawn, and there was nobody in par
ticular about, the family were alarmed
by a series of shrill screams from the
boy, and it was noticed, even in the
excitement of the moment, that the
screams were growing fainter and
fainter.
1t seems that the "hired man. was
the first to reach the scene, and he was
just in time to rescue the boy from be-
ing Rugged to DEATH PERHAPS the hear
did not know exactly what he was do
ing; he might even have thought that
he was giving his little playmate a par
ticularly strong evidence of his affec-
ton; but if nobody had heardthe boys
screams there would certainly have
been a funeral at that house, and the
little fellows epitaph might have been:

TO BE POPULAR.
lea Influence with Others, and
Hence Responsibility-NO Room
for SeIf-COmpIacency.

There are few persons so independ-
ent of the good opinion of others as
not to be pleased at receiving praise
for their work. If we are in any de-
gree popular" the discovery yields
a satisfaction that is by no means
unwholesome. The social instincts
+ so deeply rooted in US that we
are often encouraged by learning
that some little section of the world
outside thinks well of what we have
done.
But we do not make the most of
III opportunities if we treat this pop
ularity as an excuse for self-com-
placency. says Wellspring. The high
est value of any success is as a slim
ulus 70 attempt to raise our work
to a stu higher level. A notable ex-
ample of the right Interpretation of
such an experience is afforded by a
letter IF Robert Louis Stevenson's on
reading a eulogistic comment on his
INLAND Voyage" "The effect it has
produced in me-" he said, sis n of
shame. If they liked that so much,
1 ought to have given them ONE
thing better, that's all"
In other words, Stevenson felt that
his popularity was not so much a
personal gain as a responsibility.
The fact that people were eager to
read his books put a compulsion
upon him to be at his best. For to
say that a man is popular is always
equivalent to saying that he has an
influence, and influence is always a
trust.
1t is not eminent writers or public
speakers alone to whom this law APP
plies. The popular boy in a school
or the popular clerk in an Office has
become by that very fact a leader of
his fellows, and has an even greater
need than before to be careful of his
own path. If what he is and does
pleases them, the stronger is the rea-
son why he should make himself, in
all points, fit to be their example.

A NEW INDOOR GAME
1t Is Highly Amusing and n Splendid
Exercise or Acquiring Grace
and Firmness.

Here is a game that may be INDUCED
in safely, pleasantly and quickly, in
doors or out. You will observe that
the design for the butterfly follows
the main characters of the pretty in
sect, without the details of antennae
or feet-only what you see in the flight
of the butterfly, The object of the
game is to put the butterfly to flight
and safely catch it, which might not
happen if the form of the butterfly
was followed exactly.
Cut the picture out and paste it on
light cardboard, being careful to have
both sides equal, SO that it will balance
evenly.
Place the butterfly OF a book or light
tablet, at right angles to the edge, and
the tip of one wing extending a little
beyond the edge. Incline the tablet

On the New Jersey side of the North
river there is a parish of New York
~suburbanites who Owl a valuable
church property. Upon their plot
stands what is perhaps the smallest
church building known to the denom-
nation. One of the women members
declared to the minister in charge
that the building ought to have a slit
in the roof, so that she might deposit
her offerings in accordance with the
traditions of childhood. A little girl,
on her first visit to the service, re-
ceived five pennies to put on the plate.
When she returned her mother found
that she still retained two of the five
pennies. "Why did you not give it alp"
the mother asked. "Oh, mamma" was
the ingenious answer, "it was such a
little church I thought three cents was
enough for it,"

folks who take hold of your hand in
such a way as to suggest a cold fish,
dead, slipping through your hand;
it is the glad warmth of an iceberg!
There is no reason for it, save that
the owner of that hand has not
learned the art of keeping sweet.
1t is when these things are APP
live and work that the subject be-
comes serious. A Christian estab-
Iishment should be the best place to
work in in all the world. 1t should
be a winsome place for those who
are not Christians, and a place of
JOY to those who are followers of the
King. When employees lose confidence
in their employer, it is usually his
fault; when he has reason to lose
confidence in them, it is quite gener-
ally their fault. Every establishment
controlled by Christian men or wom-
en- should be q model establishment;
they should pay the best wages tho
business can stand; the workings
of the business should never violate
the conscience of a single employee;
while the employees should look upon
the business as their own, and so
work for it. 1t is sometimes said
that establishments controlled by
Christian people generally pay the
poorest wages, and are the hardesr
places in which to work. OF course,
1T is not true, as n general rule;
where it is true, the harm done to
the Kingdom of God is unreasonable.
The art of keeping sweet, in plain
language, is a heart filed with the
grace of Jesus Christ; grace in the
sense of having the spirit of Jesus
Christ. 1t is the browning fruit of
the Spirit-self-control. 1t is a hard
thing to achieve when the years lie
behind you. 1t is an imitation of
Christ that should begin when the
heyday of youth is here. Learn to
keep sweet, no matter what hap
pens"
1t need only BE said hat this is en-
tirely in the spirit of the new
Christianity" about which men are
speaking. There is a demand to-day
for high living on the part of those
who name the Name, never more in
sistent than now. The world cares
little for the man whose creed is as
straight rs a plummet whose life is
as crooked as a knarled oaki And
the chiefest virtue or grace is the
fine art of keeping sweet. Should
you like a splendid photograph of one
who has learned the art, read the
thirteenth chapter of first Corin-
thians.
