OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
The Road to GrumbletOwn.

TT is quite a straight and easy road
That leads to Grumbletown,
And those who wish can always find
A chance to journey down.
IT'S customary for the trip
To choose a rainy day
When weather's fine ones not so apt
To care to go that way.
Just keep down Fretful Lane until
You come to Sulky Stile,
Where travellers often like to rest
In silence for a while.
And then cross over Pouting Bridge,
Where Don't Care Brook flows
down,
And just a little way beyond
You come to GrumbletoWn.
From what I learn, this Grumble-
town
Is not pheasant place;
One never hears a cheerful word,
Or sees a smiling face;
The children there are badly spoiled
And sure to fret and tease,
And all the grown-up people, too,
Seem cross and hard to please.
The weather rarely is just right
In this peculiar spot;
IT is either raining all the time,
Or else too cold, or hot.
The brooks are stupid as can be;
The games are dull and old;
There 8 nothing new and nothing
nice
In Grumbletown, I m told.
And so I've taken pains, my dears,
The easiest road to show,
That you may all be very sure
You never, never go!

Keep a Clean Mouth.

resolved, when l was a child, never to
use a word which / could not pro-
nounce before my mother" He kept
his resolution, and became a pure
minded, noble, honored gentleman.
His rule and example are worthy of
imitation.
Boys readily learn a class of low,
vulgar words and expressions, which
are never heard in respectable cir
cles. Of course we cannot think of
girls as being so much exposed to
this peril. We cannot imagine a de-
cent girl using words she would not
utter before her father or mother.

A Fisld-MOus and Her Babies.

Last week, as I was walking
through a piece of woodland, found
a family of white-footed mice in an
old cat-bird's nest In a tangle of
greenbriers. The nest was rooted
over with cedar bark, and l suspect
cd that it might have a tenant, so l
shook the bushes gently, and out of
a small round hole in the side a lit
tie, sharp-pointed, whiskered head
was poked, and a pair of large black
eyes seemed to inquire what all the
disturbance was about. I answered
by shaking the briers a little more,
and now the head was followed by
the whole body of a very graceful
mouse, who took a seat among the
twigs near the nest, and calmly
washed her face with her front paws.
Her upper parts were yelowish
brown, being brightest along the
sides, but underneath, even to the
tips of her delicate toes, she was
pure white. Her tail, which was long
and silky hung straight down. She
seemed in no hurry to leave the
place, but when I attempted to ad-
vance, she ran lightly down, and dis
appeared among the dead leaves. l
put the tip of my finger into the
round hole in the nest, and I felt
something jump. / made the open
ing a little larger, and took out four
small blind mice, whose upper parts
were l~ead-gray, and whose under
parts were white like their mothers.
Very often, however, a white-footed
mouse will not let one get SO close a

Such vulgarity is thought by some
boys to be "smart," the "next thing
to swearing" and yet mot wicked;"
but it is a habit which leads to pro-
family, and fills the mind with evil
thoughts. It vulgarizes and degrades
the soul, and prepares the way for
many of the gross and fearful sins
which now corrupt society.
Young readers, keep your mouths
free from all impurity, and your
"tongue from evil" but in order to
do this, ask Jesus to cleanse your
heart and keep it clean, for "out of
the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.-The Standard.

Mr. Dyer's acceptance of the position

three flattering offers of railroad posi-
lions, and it was supposed that he in
tended to remain in Denver and look
after his private interests. Spencer

finally induced him to accept the man

cents for each meal. The bids were
opened six weeks ago, and 1t was
found that the Rock Islands bid was
the lowest for the transportation, but
it wanted rs cents for each meal,
which made the total rate greater than
the Union Pacific.
The Rock Island protested against
the acceptance of the Union Pacific
bid, alleging that the Southern Pacific
had rendered its connecting line a less
rate on army business than on naval
business.
The question was referred by the
navy department to the controller of
the currenscy, who held that the bid
should be accepted.

Rock Island Still Has an Eye on the

A dispatch from Chicago says: 1t
is reported that negotiations have been
renewed by the Rock Island for the ac-
QUESTION of the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco system. officials of the Rock Is
land in Chicago disclaim any knowl-
edge, and are not inclined to credit the
rumor. Other railway officials, gen
orally well informed, have positive in
formation that the report is true. They
don't believe, however, that the Rock
Island will get the Frisco unless they
make a much better cash offer than
before. The previous offer was $40 a
share in cash and the rest in Rock Is
land securities. Some of the stock
holders of St. Louis & San Francis
co have little faith in the Rock Islands
new stock, and demand at least one
half in cash.

NEW RULE BOOK.
Clear Signal Changed From White to
Green Now in Effect.

Green Now in Effect.
General superintendent Egan of the
Colorado & Southern has promulgated
a new set of service rules for the en-
tire system. which went into effect
Sunday. May 3. The rules are the
American association standard, now in
use on all the eastern roads and on
most of the transcontinental lines. like
the Union Pacific. running into Den
yer.
Several months ago the Colorado &
Southern issued copies of the new
text book, containing the rules, exam
pies and illustrations. to each of the
employees of its operating department.
A special examiner was appointed and
has devoted his time since to conduct
ing examinations among the men.
He reported last month that the men
were sufficiently proficient in their
knowledge of the new rules. The Rio
Grande system is about to follow the
in the adoption of these regulations.
Chief among the changes is one re-
garding signals in use on trains. Red
remains the danger signal, but the
clear" signal is changed from white
to green. The reason for this Is that
were a red danger light to be broken
it would show white, indicating clear
and might cause accidents.
