Our Beautiful Language.

A boy who swims may say he's swunn, but
milk is SKINNED and seldom skum, and nails
you trim, they are not trum.
When words you speak. these words are spok-
en-, but a nose is tweaked and can't be twoken.
and what you seek is never soken.
II we forget, then we've forgotten, but things
we wet are never wotten, and houses let cannot
be lotten
The goods one sells always sold, but fears
dispelled are not dispold, nor what you smell Is
smoed.
When young. top you oft saw spun. but did
YOU see a grin e'er grun or a potato neatly skun?

LabOring Man and Charity.
New York Letter.


Managers of the local charitable insti-
tutions are expecting generally increased
demands upon them this winter. owing
to the fact that at least $1,000 men of the
building trades were idle for the greater
part Of the summer. that nearly twice as
many were out for a long period either
because OF lockouts or strikes, and that
Is 600 or more are still without work. This
means that the great majority of the work
ers were obliged to draw on their savings,
If they had any, or run bills with the
grocers and the butchers, or both; for the
little allowed by the union In case of a
strike was wholly inadequate. Besides the
strikers fell behind With their rents. With
all their savings gone and whatever little
is being earned now going to meet bills.
there will be nothing TO fall back on when
the snow falls. The resources of the in
stitutions will be taxed TO the utmost, but
there is confidence that all worthy cases
can be provided for.

The Numbering Reporters.

The funniest thing about the poker stories at
Topeka is the whispered account of what lot
of the fellows said to their wives when called
TO account after their names had appeared in
the newspapers. one man explained to his wife
that he had merely played a social game OF
whist "You know how 1t is with those ignor-
ant newspaper fellows" he said. "They know
so little about things that when they see OF
hear of a game of cards they just call II
poker" 'I know, John" said the wife, sympa-
thethcally. AT our party they wrote up my
dress all wrong and it is awfully vexatious. -

'John Burt" Frederick Upham Adams's

in love with the daughter of Boston man
Of wealth. The young mans principal
rival is Arthur Morris. son of a New York

General Garden, father Of his sweetheart,
and the Morrises are near the home of his
grandfather, old Peter Burt, retired sea
captain, popularity supposed to be insane.
John Burt, In moment of uncomfortable
anger, desperately wounds young Morris,
after the latter has publicly insulted Miss
Garden. He fees to his grandfather, who
protects him from the officers of the law
and sends him to California with sealed
directions concerning the location of a lost
gold mine Jessie Garden pledges faith
with the young man. and he sails around
the Horn to seek wealth sufficient to en-
able him to fight his enemies on an equal
footing. The gold mine is discovered Its
richness makes the young man a million

In the meantime James Blake meets Burt S
