was always my good fortune to have
the children for my friends, as soon
as they had gathered around my bed
they told me they had found the
"Old middle man. ''Bill stole it
sure enough; he came back to school
that very day and brought it with
him, and what lie he told when
asked where he got it, he said he
found it in knot-hole in a dead log
away off in the woods, that his dog
treed a rabbit in the log and while
trying to get it out he found the
marble. Did anybody ever hear of
such story, they had taken the mar
BILE away from him, and given him a
good whipping, not SO much for steal
ing the marble as for telling such a
lie. | waited till sthey were done
and asked them if there might not be
some doubt about Bills stealing it.
Oh, no doubt at all. Bill stole the
marble, besides how could the marble
get away off in the woods and into a
knot-hole at that. Bill took it of
course, that was certain. Then l
told them something that I had in
tended to tell them sbefore but had
forgotten that while hunting squirrels
on the day I was taken sick, found
the big marble in the COW path north
OF my fathers farm, and knew at once
that one of the boys had lost it while
driving home the COWS. My pockets
were full of ammunition and 1 didn't t
want to be bothered with the marble,
SO | put it in hole in a big log, ex-
pecting to come back that way and get
it or else tell the boys about it, so I
went on and forgot about it till they
told me Bills story. Then they were
very sorry they had treated Bill so
badly, SO among them they made up a
set OF marbles for Bill and among
them was the ''old middle mani"

For the benefit of the boys who
read The News will relate the fol-
lowing story of my school days. At
the time it occurred was attending
the summer school at ''Old Provi-
dence," place of happy memories to
me; at noon we boys used to play at
marbles, and my brothers had large
marble we called he s'old middle
man, whion they priced very high
ly; one day when we went Ito ring
up' the big marble was gone, nor
could it be found; there was much
conjecture about it, they knew it
couldn't have beenIlost because all the
others were there; it had surely been
stolen. Suspicion at once rested upon
one of our schoolmates, a freckled face
boy named Bill, whom it is to be
feared possessed some traits which
were not altogether commendable. 1t
was remarked that Bill left school
early the evening before and had not
returned, that he had always wanted
the marble, that several slate pencils,
some long strings and a barlow knife
had mysteriously disappeared recent
~. Bill was surely guilty and must
suffer for it. However, as he was
absent the matter would have to wait.
The next day was Saturday, and that
evening / was taken sick with fever
and was very sick all the next week
and had forgotten about the marble
till one day at noon, when all the
school children come to see me for ii

She was thin and weak and

twelve pounds in weight before

Our volcano is a source of interest to

world. What other people dread, we
hail with pleasure. Our volcano is one
of the sights of the world, but it brings
with it no baleful results. The lava

roar and below in ferocious sounds,
clouds of smoke roll up from the boil
ing caldron, and sulphuric lights dart
their green flames from the edges of
the fiery lake, but one can sit at ease
and see all this without the slightest
uneasness or fear. Kilauea is a safe
ty valve for the sLperabundant hidden
