"weI, Begun ls Half pone.,,

Thus says the proverb. But it is
q melancholy fact that half the fail
ures in life are due to leaving un-
finished what has been started well.
It is never wise to dissipate ones
energy by leaving a well begun task
in order to take up fresh one, for
doing so is likely to result in a
promising piece of work being left
unfinished forever and aye and also
have very bad effect on the mind
and character of the worker. Moth
ing really worth doing was ever
done without inconvenience, and it
is an excellent plan to train oneself
in perseverance and self sacrifice by
making a rule always if possible to
finish the work in hand before at
tempting anything else.

Brldalna a Chasm.

DR.. Alexander Mckenzie in one
Of his sermons tells a pretty anec-
dote of the early life Of Louis Agas-
siz, the great scientist. AS q child
Agassiz lived in Switzerland, on the
border of lake. He had a younger
brother, and one day the two lads
started to cross the lake. It was
frozen, and the ice looked safe
enough, but their mother watched
them.
The boys got on very well until
they came to crack in the ice per-
haps foot wide. The mother could
not call to them, although her heart
failed her as she thought, "Louis
will get over well enough, but his
little brother will try to step over
and will fall in"
AS she watched che saw Louis get
down on the ice, his feet on one
side Of the crack. his hands on the
other side, making bridge Of his
body, and the little brother crept
over him to the other side. Then
Louis got up and they went on their
way.

ONE OF FIELDS POEMS.
The Franc In Whicf, II Was Sot and
the Fun lt Produced.

the Fun It Produced.
A Louisville man thus describes
an amusing incident which occurred
IN New Orleans in the spring Of
1894: II met Eugene Field on one
of his pilgrimages for old bottles,
pewter ware and any old thing in
the junk line. Some friends Of
mine introduced our party to Mr..
Field and Wilson Barrett and mem
bers of his company, then playing
an engagement in New Orleans.
Mr. Fields greatest delight was in
teasing Miss Maude Jeffries, Mis-
sissippi girl, then leading lady in
MIR. Barrett's company. She was
very sensitive and modest, and it
delighted Field greatly when he
could playfully embarrass her.
"One day / found him in his room
busy on the floor past;ag large
sheets of brown paper together. He
had written poem to Miss Jeffries
IN the center of large sheet of
this wrapping paper in his charac-
tcrlstic small hand-indeed, much
smaller than usual. On the edges
OF this sheet l found him pasting
others of equal size, so that the
whole when complete made a sim
gle sheet about eight feet square.
This he carefully folded up to fit
an lmprovised envelope about the
size Of Mardi Gras souvenir, then
being distributed about the city.
"With the joyousncss of a boy
about to play prank he chased
downstairs at the noon hour when
he knew Miss Jcffrics was at lunch
with Mr.. Barrett in the cafe of the
Grunewald. Calling q waiter, he
sent the huge envelope in es her
table. She glanced at it u moment
and then gradually drew the pack
age from its envelope, while Field
and l stood watching behind the
entrance. It spread all over the
table as she continued to unfold
the enormous sheet, and its rustic
attracted the attention Of nearly
every one in tho room. When il
had spread itself all over Mr.. Bar
rett, who meanwhile was laughing
heartily, Miss Jeffries discovered the
poem in Fields hand and. although
blushing crimson, joined in the
laughter, for she knew he was some
where about enjoying her discom.

When Ruskin Talked Nonsoae..

In a lecture Mt Oxford when he
was S!ade professor Sir William
Richmond defended the fame which
the world had accorded to Michael
Angelo and Raphael. Formerly
Ruskin had denounced Michael An
gelo, ard he was not very well
pleased with Sir William for hold
ing forth on the other side. When
Ruskin recovered from the i'll health
which had caused him to give up
the Slade professorship, Sir Viii
liam retired so that he might fill it
again. Touched by this, Ruskin
asked if he might dine with his
young friend. The latter was de-
lighted, and they spent pleasant
evening. When Ruskin rose to 90,
he said, "Willie, why did you make
that violent attack upon me about
Michael Angelor" 'cMr. Ruskin,
because you talked nonsense" was
the ancompromising reply. "You
are quite right" was the parting
word of the great hearted master,
''it was NONSENSE"

The Largest Pear Tree.

What is said to be the largest and
Oldest pear tree in America is in
Michigan, near Lake Erie. It is
supposed to have been planted by
the French when they first settled
in that section. Five feet above
the ground this tree measures thir-
teen feet in circumference and is
sixty-fve feet high. 1t is said also
to be prolific bearer that rarely
fails of full crop. No special ef-
fort has been made to prolong the
life of the tree, but it has grown
naturally as the forest trees OF sim
liar age.

He SOUGHT LEGAL ADVICE.
Vet Thie Butcher is Wondering What
to DO About It


Astor is lawyer who lives in
Englewood, says the Chicago Trib-
une. He was walking from his
house to the suburban train when
the butcher on the corner opposite
the station called to him. Astor
had bought his meat from that
butcher for twenty years.
"Mr. Astor," asked the butcher,
what can I do if a dog runs into
the shop and carries off q roast Of
beef worth $2?'
"Do you know whose dog it is?"
asked the lawyer.
"Oh, yes" the butcher answered.
Il know who owns the dog all
right"
"Then all you've got to do is to
send the owner bill for the stolen
meat. You can collect it without
any doubt"
Then Mr.. Astor started to hurry
for his train.
"Air. Astor," the butcher called
after him-'Afr. Astor, that was
your dog. III send you the bill this
afternoon"
Next morning the bill came to
Alr: Astor's office. But the butcher
had unfortunately forgotten that
his victim was a lawyer.
BY the next mail he got his an
swer. With it came q bill for $40
for legal advice in the matter of a
"thieving dog" leaving q balance
OF $S due Mr.. Astor.\ And now the
butcher is wondering what he had
better do about it.

would it be indiscreet, beauti-

"Guess."

"Ah, 1 understand You were Of
tering up VOWS for the end of your
widowhood."
Perhaps that is it."
Without another word he began
to press series Of kisses upon the
marchioness' taper fingers.
Her hesitation increased the enc
my's bcldness, and when she
thought of drawing away her hand
he had already abandoned it for
sklrmish where the kisses closed her
eyes.
Suddenly she escaped from her
Imprisonment and noticed that his
eyes were fixed upon the brilliant
diamond she wore upon her little
finger.
''Do you want pledge of pardon
for your boldness ?" she said. "Here
it is." And, putting her whole soul
into last playful smile, she added:
cit is talisman that will aid you
In returning to the right path, my
dear brigand. Remember that I
should prefer to see you dead rath-
er than unfaithful or a felon."
At these words, lightly uttered,
the masked man showed extraordi-
nary emotion. Then, with rever-
ence this time, he kissed the lady's
hand end disappeared.
When she entered the house, she
found the duke and Dom Maroufot
at the chess table. The duke was
SO absorbed that he did not even
turn his head as she came into the
room. She thought that really Che
was in the presence Of q consum-
mate actor.
She leaned over his shoulder as
he was moving a knight and sud-
denly turned pale-the duke had
no ring on his finger!
The poor marquise passed rest
less night.
Toward morning she had scarcely
closed her eyes when she was awak-
ened by the sound of gunshots, fol-
lowed by the noise Of galloping
horses.
The duke at the head of his
dragons, was returning to the
chateau. He had alighted and was
taking off his pistols when the
marquise appeared
'1ts all over" he called out to
her. 4sI brought down Gillou with
single shot. We had hardly got
outside the park gate before the
idiot came to us. He threw him
self between our horses legs, 80 to
speak. And for fear that T might
not recognize him he cried out: Il
am Gillou! Kill mep
'He kneeled down ten steps from
me. When he saw me aim my pis-
tol at him, he raised his hand in the
air and held up something brilliant.
Then he cried out again, but I don't
how what he said, for the report
Of my pistol drowned his voice.
'He fell, and one Of my men
picked up the brilliant thing he held
in his hand. If you want it, here
it is. It shall be your part Of the
booty. But there is q little blood
on it"
The duke handed beautiful dia-
mond to the marquise. Recogniz-
ing the ring, she turned deathly
pale, and suddenly she read clearly
in her heart. She had never loved
the duke, and now she detested him.
