Twas only a little thing to do,
For a sturdy lad like Ned,
To groom the horse, to milk the COW,
And bring the wood from the she'd
But his father was glad to find at night
The chores were all we'll done,
Il am Thankful" said he, "as1 can be-"
For the gift of such son."
Only small things, but they brighten
life
Or shadow it with care;
But little things, yet they mould life
For joy or sal despair;
But little things, yet lifes best prize,
The reward which labor brings,
Comes to him who uses, and not
abuses,
The power of little things.

LITTLE THINGS.

It was only little thing for Nell
To brighten the kitchen fire.
To spread the cloth, to draw the tea,
AS her mother might desire.
A little thing; but her mother smiled
And banished all her care,
And a day that was sal closed bright
and glad,
With a song of praise and prayer.

Unique Method by Which Indians

1t has been discovered that the
desert Indians. who have never been

have for many years employed n
method of tying their horses to holes
In the ground that is clever, unique
and effective says the Los Angeles
Herald.
The operation is performed In this
way: Keeping on the hot sands the
Indians dig with their hands. which
are about as hard and imperylous to
pain as dogs paws.
They work energetically until they
have made n hole about two feet deep.
Then they tie nm immense knot In the

BLACK HAWK WAR RECALLED.

an Old Fort.
A Chicago Chronicle correspondent
at Bloomington, Illinois, says; The
building Of reservoir for the new
waterworks system as Elizabeth re-
calls an interesting incident of the
Blackhawk war, The reservoir will
stand on the site of fort that Black
Hawk sought to capture on the after
noon Of August 2. 1882. In the fort
were twenty-five men, women and chill
dren, while the warrior was supported
by at least $50 braves.
Tradition states that 1t was the
heroic act of the women that enabled
the little band to hold out success
fully against apparently overwhelm-
Ing odds. Elizabeth Winters Elizabeth
Armstrong, Rebecca Hit and Eliza
beth Van Volkenburg were melting
lead into bullets when the supply OF
lead became exhausted, Two of these
women, under cover of darkness, stole
from the fort and procured pig of lead
from an outlying shed. This deed of
herolsm proved successful and Black
Hawk was repulsed. the only loss OF
the inmates of the fort being one man
who was killed.
