Had Seen HIM Before.

A Duluth attorney recently went
East to visit bis old home, and the
first Sunday he was there he attended
church, says the Duluth News-Tribune.
Alter service he visited the Sunday
school, and saw many familiar faces
among the pupils, although they lhsd
all grown considerably during the years
he had been away.
At the request of the superintendent,
the visitor addressed the school, and in
opening he asked If there were any
present who remembered him-Who
had ever seen him before.
The hand OF little fellow In the
front row went up. II do, l dor be
said.
A satisfied smile crept over the. face
of the visitor. He was glad that the
children remembered him.
"Now, where was it you saw me be.
fore? ?" he asked the boy who had raised
his hand.
"You was the clown in the circus
last summer" replied the youth, en-.
Enthusiastically, "I'd never forget you1
face"

Every iarm should have a berr,
patch for home use not only straw
berries, early and late, but black and

little work and are a sure crop. Black
berries should be planted seven fec
apart and two and one-half feet apar;
IN the rows, or if land is scarce a Ions
row next to the fence will answer,
though they should not be planted 81
near the fence that pickers could net
operate on both sides of the row. Dew
berries do not {equire so much dis
lance, rows four fest apart and plants
two and one half feet apart in the rows
being about right. One row OF Austin
dewberries 100 yards long and The
same each of an early and late black
berry will be sufficient for an Ordinary
family and furnish surplus for can.

is not only healthful, but delicious
One mistake that many people make
is eating berries teiore they are fully
ripe. For immediate use select onl.,
such berries as are fully ripe. After

than today. After gathering the ber-
ries will improve for several days.

to her inexperience, to contend With
the ignorance OF the people around
her. But she was of gentle birth and
had inherited taste for reading, and
plenty of books to read-so the battle
began. The dead mothers influence
was strong. The favor Of books wat

sisters influence and these books
proved their salvation. She taught
them in the day time. and when night
came she studied to keep ahead. And
at the same time she attended to the
affairs of the household.
After about four years her father
married again and she began to teach
a small school near her home. She
kept up her studies all the time, and
every spare minute was devoted to
reading. Finally, she saved enough
money from the sums she had received
from the various little country schools

could have had otherwise. Then she
obtained better positions, and as her
salary increased she spent it freely ir

THE ARROWHEAD.

Edwin L. Sabin in Youths Companion.
Deep Graded in the forest clay,
Long lost, it snugly slept away
While winter, summer passed it DER
Through twice a hundred years, OF
more;
While saplings into oaks upreared;
While rood by rood tho land was
cleared
Till glancing from the paleface plow
It walked to meet the world of Now.
And on my study desk it lies,
A derelict, In mute surprise.
Where vanished is the emerald shade
The aisles of the primeval glade?
The deer's shrill snort, the turkey Z
call?
The Indians measured gutteral?
The moccasin, the copper face,
The war whoop, and the striped grim.
ace?
Perchance, could but thy tale be told,
Some wrinkled arrow-maker, old.
Another Minnehaha's sire,
Close crouching by his wigwam fire,
With patient labor, chip by chip
Slow wrought thee-barb, and edge
and tip;
And striding over trunk and brook
A Hiawatha came-and took.
The mind may paint, but cannot give
The breath to make its figures live.
Gone are the hands that shaped thel
so;
Gone Is the warrior and his how;
Gone is the quarry and the oak;
Gone are the wild, red iorest-folk-
Like their own bolts. forever sped
Gone all thy world, o arrowhead.
