STUCK TO HIS BARGAIN.
Incident of the Boyhood Of Stonewall
jackson.

lncIoeht OF tne poynooo VI SsoS"o
jackson.
At the "Old Cummins Jackson Mills
OH the West Fork river, in what Is
now West Virginia, was living, sixty
seven years ago, a healthy boy, who
had very definite ideas Of honor and
strongs sense of right. Little Tom
Jackson, like good many other boys
was fond Of fishing, and equally as
fond of selling his fish whenever ne
could find customers.
In the village Of Weston. three miles
above the mills, Conrad Kerster kept
small store and market. He had
agreed with the boy to give him fifty
cents for every pike a foot or more IN
length that he caught in the mill
pond.
The boy was only ten years DID, but
he made the contract in good faith;
and, as the sequel showed, he knew
how to keep 1t.
AS time went on a good many twelve
inch pike were delivered at the market,
with mutual satisfaction to both par
ties in the trade. One day the boy
was seen tugging through the village
an enormous fish that almost dragged
on the ground. 1t was two inches
over a yard long. Colonel Talbot, a
gentleman who knew the young fish
erman very we'll, hailed him and COM
plimented him on his success.
"A noble fish, Tom. Where are you
going with it? I want to buy it.
Its sold to Mr.. Kerster," said the
boy. without stopping.
THAT can't be- He hasn't seen 1t.
Say, I'll give you dollar for it."
81 tell you it's sold, 'Tisn't mine"
whats Kerster going to give you
for it?"
Fifty cents" shouted Tom, still
keeping on his way.
The colonel called after him. "Pll give
a dollar and quarter"
Tom turned a moment, with an In
dignant look, and replied: IF you get
any Of this pike, you'll have to get 1t
Of Mr.. Kerster," and on he went,
bending under his load, until he reach
ed the store.
Mr.. Kerster was astonished. Fifty
cents isn't enough for that fish, he
said. II shall have to give you dol
lar"
mo, sir; it's yours at fifty cents
insisted Tom. "Ill not take any more.
You've been kind enough to pay me
for some that were pretty short" And
fifty cents was the price paid for the
big pike.
This story Mr.. Kerster himself, IN
his old age, gave to his nephew, Judge
McWhorton, who gave it to the Chi
cago Standard.
The fine conscience and keen sense
of honor that ruled the boy fixed the
habit of a lifetime. The nome by
which he became known to the world
was "Stonewall" Jackson.-Presbyte-

"A little joke happened at the turn

What sort of a joke?" asked the

was put up that Joe Harper should
be at that turn and purtend to hold

"And did it come off,"
1T did. When we reached the turn
I slowed up a leetle and Joe jumped
out and yelled fur hands up. I pulled
up the hosses and he hollored fur the
passengers to git down. Lord, how
Joe hollored! You could have hearo
him two miles away. Everybody got
down and the passengers in the joke
purtended to be half-skeert to death.
But how about red-whiskersF
Fur about a mint or two he pear

THE TROUBLE IN
THE CAROLINES
REV. EDWIN HYDE SAYS THE
NATIVES CAN SING THE GER
MAN NATIONAL HYMN.

BOSTON, April 1S.-The American
Board of Foreign Missions has received
a letter from Rev. Edwin Hyde, NJ. D.,
of Chicago, who was a missionary at
Ruk, Caroline Islands, from 1900 to 1902,
and who was released in January, 1902
owing to the i'll health of Mrs. Hyde.
DR.. Hyde says in part: The charge
against the missionaries of teaching
English instead of German is strange.
The Governor approved of our conduct
of the schools and said German was
too hard for these people. We taught
German, however, and the natives
sang the German national hymn well
Concerning the native teachers, the
charge that they said Germany is
nothing, the United States controls the
islands, is impossible. l know the men
understand the Government. We. and
the missionaries we met, realizing that
we were dealing with subjects of an
other government used special endeaV-
ors to uphold the German authorities
and to exercise no influence that should
prejudice the natives against their
lawful rulers. 1t may be of interest to
learn that natives once bOycotted dry
ing cocOanuts. We preached against
the embargo, had our native prea chcrs
do 50, and the authorities commended
US.
u learn of the trouble with surprise
and perpleXity, because the Governor
was so agreeable and so seemingly
satisfied with the school and the mis-
sion. He praised the work and bade US
keep on in the way we were teaching.
There are two explanations that occur
to me- One is that there is a new Gov
ernor; the other is that the acts were
those Of an over-zealous captain Of mis-

few final remarks He said that the
legislature OF Hawaii had accomplished
more this time than any Other legisla-
ture in the Islands since the introduc-
tion Of constitutional government, and
that Hawaii had made better record
than other territories, i'm spite of the
fact that civilization and constitutional
government We're newer TO the people
of this territory than to those Of the
mainland. The speaker took occasion
to again thank the members for their
gift Of a watch the day before and for
their having honored him with the
speakership.

marks Henry Vida presented his resig-
nation as a member Of the House. Har-
ris wanted to know the reason and
