THE OLD TRUNDLE BED.

o, the old trundlebed where slept when boy
What canopied King might not covet the JOY,
The glory and peace Of that slumber Of mine.
Like long. gracious rest in the bosom divine.
The quaint homely couch. hidden close from the
light
But daintily drawn from its hiding at night,
o. ansst of delight. from the foot to the head.
Was the queer little. dear little old trundle-bed
o the trundle-bed, where wondering saw
The stars through the window and listened with awe
To the sigh of the winds as they rembingly crePt
Through the trees where the robins so restessy slept
Where I heard the low, murmurous chirp Of the
wren.
And the katydd listlessly chrruP again.
Till my fancies grew faint and were drowsily led =
Through the maze of the dreams Of the old trundle
bed.
o the old trundle-bed o the old trundle-bed
With its plump little pillow, and oldtashioned spread
It's snowy white sheets, and the blankets above,
Smoothed down and tucked round with the touches
of love
The voice OF my mother to lull me to sleep
With the old fairy stories my memories keep.
Sull fresh as the lilies that bloom DER the head
Once bowed DER my own in the old trundle-bed.

A story is told of how Paganlni
once came into the concert room, took
the violin, and touched the strings.
First one string broke, and a smile
went round the room; then another
string broke, and there was more au-
dible expression Of mOcksry when a
third string broke, many people
laughed outright at his discontinue.
But Paganiui stood forth with his vio-
lin as though nothing had happened
and played on one string, and the peo-
pie ceased to smile, but listened SPELL
bound. Some of those who had de-
rided him began to weep, and some
even prayed Many man has fallen
helpless by the waysids when some
great catastrophe turned the current
of his life aside. The brave man
pushes forward with one remaining
talent and plucks victory from defeat.

Notwithstanding the gravity of the
situation in South Africa the British
invaders seem to get an occasional
CLEAN offun from their surroundings.
Not long ago a colonel of a British
regiment who was repairing a rail-
road after General De Vets many
breakages discovered a fine empty
house, which he proceeded to occupy
as headquarters.
When the news of the colonels com.
fortsbls quarters reached Bloemfon.
tein he received a telegram from
Kitchener which read
&c. 7. NJ. wants house"
The colonel was unable to make
out what &c. T. NJ" meant. and in
ouired OF other officers, who translated
general traffic manager"
"All tight, said the colonel III
he can use hieroglyphics so can |.
So be wired back
&c. T. NJ. can G. T, H."
Two days later he received a dis
patch from Bloemfontein ordering him
to attend board of inquiry. On ap-
pearing in due course he was asked
what be meant by sending such an in
sulting message to superior officer.
"Insulting?" replied the colonel,
innocently. 1T was nothing Of the
kind.
"But what do you mean" demand
ed his superior, "by telling me can
g. T. H.2"
1T was simply an abbreviation,
replied the colonel. &c. 7. NJ. (sen-
er.l traffic manager) can G. 7. H. (get
the house.)"

Cheap Watch's Guarantee.


equal to a timepiece of much greater
value. A would-be purchaser went
into State street jewelry store the
other day, says the Chicago Chronicle,
and asked to see cheap watch, and
the clerk produced one of those gum
metal affairs that sound like an old
fashioned watchnan s rattle when you
wind it and could scarcely be injured
if you played duck on the rock with
it. 1t came in a small pasteboard
box, on the lid of which was the state
ment in bold type that it was the
equal of any IS watch in the world.
and yet cost only 81.
Have you a watch at $S?' asked
the possible customer.
Eyes, sill" said the clerk, and he
handed out a very neat tlmeplecs
cased in nickel. you will find that
Just as good as anything you can get
for $25," he remarked, opening the
back and showing the works.
at looks all right" the buyer said,
"but on second thought l believe Id
like something better"
"Well, here are some flled-case
watches" be replied, that we sell
with a 3O-year guarantee. The case
cant be distinguished from solid gold
and the movement is fully standard
lied and tested for heat and cold. 1t
is watch we consider very cheap at
$25."
The customer pried open the back
case and out dropped little disk of
paper on which ths-30-year guarantee
was printed.
This watch is as well made in ev-
cry particular" it said in preamble,
"as the average 500 chronOmeter."
What kind of a ohronometer can
man get for $l00?" was the next
question.
"Tbe best in the world" replied the
clerk enthusiastically. Here is one
now. You observe its thinness and
general elegance. AS far as the
movement is concerned it is simply
impossible to produce anything bet
ter.
"All right" said the customer. "Ill
invest on that assurance" and picked
up the tin-clad machine and laid down
a So note. 81 have your word" be
added, that this is the best watch on
earth ?"
mo, you haven't r. he exclaimed.
II didn't say anything Of the kind.
Don't you claim that it is as good
as any $0 watch going?" " the man
asked, pointing to the statement on
the box lid.
"Yes, but
"And you just assured me that the
So watch was the equal Of anything
you had at $25 and the gold-flled
guarantee states specifically that the
$25 watch is as well made as a 800
chronometer. Here you have it in
algebra, and the customer took out
a pencil and made this simple calcu-
lation: "a equals B, B equals G, G
equals D, D equals x; therefore A
equals X.
But the clerk couldn't see it. He
stuck out firmly for each Of the four
assertions being Gospel truth, but he
wouldn't stand for their logical con-
clusion. The four statements, each
perfectly true in detail, made certain
ty look like whopping big lie in the
aggregate, and the would-be customer
departed, leaving the clerk to puzzle
himself out of the difficulty if he
could.

the peasants were complaining of lack
of subsistence" In truth, there is
great irritation on the part Of the peo-
pie, who have come to believe there is
great corruption in official life, and
they have rooted deep in their hearts the
conclusion that the common people are
grievously suffering therefrom.
AS a matter of fact, the Russian 'au-
tocracy," SO called, is nothing but an
irresponsible bureaucracy. There has
been q long-standing demand for the
removal of this partition wall between
the czar and the people," Is the gov
eminent capable Of educating the peo-
pie? Both the schools and the libraries
are under the absolute control of the
government and yet the peasantry
suffers seriously from the lack of both.
Most persistent is the battle which
the students are waging against the
constabulary but with all it's uniform
ed police the government is unable to
enforce obedience to the law. Really
the only effect of the law is to force the
ways and habits of conspirators upon
the more energetic and to create among
the entire body of students a public
opinion in sympathy with defiance of
the statutes.
