The surprise He Got on His Thirty
second Birthday.
"Fl never forget my thirty-second

young man who was lounging about

downright lively. / think my wife
realized afterward that she rather
overdid the matter"
: Tried to surprise you, did she?"
'She not only tried to, but she sue
ceeded. You see, she always was an
enthusiast in everything she under
took"
'Bankrupted you in getting you
presents. suppose" suggested the
young man.
'Well. not exactly" returned the old
resident refiectively. "but her presents
came very near bankrupting me later
However, they are a good deal OF COM
fort to me now. so that i can't say I
regret it,"
''Now!" calculated the young man.
do you mean to say that you still
have themT'
Certainly"
"And how long ago was this thirty
second birthday"
Twenty years ago."
Twenty years. Heavensi That's a
long time TO keep a birthday present"

Ten Poor soys

William McKinleys early home was
plain and comfortable, and his father
was able to keep him at school.
Willard Fillmore was a son Of New
York farmer, and his home was an
humble one. He learned the business
of a clothier.
Andrew Jackson was born in a log
hut in North Carolina, and was reared
in the pine woods for which his state
is famous.
John Adams, second president, was
the son of a grocer Of very moderate
means. The only start he had was
good education.
Grover Cleveland's father was
Presbyterian minister with a small
salary and a large family The boys
had to earn their living.
Ulysses S. Grant lived the life Of
a village boy, in a plain house on the
banks of the Ohio river until he was
seventeen years Of age.
Abraham Lincoln was the son Of a
wretcnedly poor farmer in Kentucky
and lived in a log cabin until he was
twenty-one years old.
James X. Polk spent the earlier years
Of his life helping to dig living out
Of a farm in North Carolina. He was
afterwards clerk in a country store.
Andrew Johnson was apprenticed to
a tailor at the age Of ten years by his
widowed mother. He was never able
to attend school and picked up all
the education he ever had.
James A. Garfield was born in log
cabin. He worked on farm until he
was strong enough to use carpenters
tools, when he learned the trade. He
afterwards worked on a canal.

1t was a part of the Indian boys
hunting to find new and strange things
in the woods They examined the
slightest sign of life; and if a bird had
scratched the leaves off the ground, or
a bear dragged up root for his morn.
ing meal they stopped to speculate on
the time when it was done. In Indian
Boyhood" Dr. Charles A. Eastman,
himself an Indian, tells Of the way in
which he and his companions caught
the animals Of the wood.
Our devices for trapping small ami
mails he says, were rude, but they were
often successful. For instance, we used
to gather up a peck or so Of large,
sharp-pointed burs and scatter them in
the rabbits burroW-like path. In the
morning we would find the little fellow
sitting quietly in mis- tracks, unable to
move, for the burs stuck to his feet.
Perhaps the most enjoyable Of all
was the chipmunk-hunt After the first
thaw the chipmunks burrow q hole
through the snowy crust and make
their first appearance for the season.
Sometimes as many as fifty will come
together and hold social reunion,
These gatherings occur early in the
morning, from daybreak to about nine
o'clock.
We boys learned this, among other
secrets of nature, and got our blunt
headed arrows together in good season
for the chipmunk expedition.
We generally went in groups of six
to a dozen or fifteen, to see which
would get the most. On the preceding
evening we selected several boys who
could initiate the chipmunks call with
wildcat straws, and each of these pro-
vided himseI with supply Of straw.
My first experience Of this kind
still remember well. 1t was a fine crisp
March morning, and the sun had not
yet shown himself as we hurried along
through the ghostly wood Presently
we arrived at a place where there were
many signs of the animals. Then each
of us selected a tree, and took up his
position behind it. The Chipmunk-call-
er sat upon a log, as motionIess as
possible, and began to call
Soon we heard the rustic Of little
feet on the hard snow; then we saw
the chipmunks approaching from all
directions.
In a few minutes the chipmunk-caller
was besieged with them Some ran
all over his person, others under him,
and still others ran up the tree against
which he was sitting. Each boy re-
NAMED immovable until the leader
gave the signal then a great shout
arose. and the chipmun1s in their
fright ran up the different trees.
Now the shooting-match began. The
little creatures seemed to realize their
hopeless position; they would try again

and again to come down ESQ trees ans
escape from the deadly arrows. When
ever several Of them rushed toward The
ground together we al hugged l1e "a
and yelled frantcally b scare them VI
again.
Each boy shoots always against the
trunk of the tree, so hat the arrow
may bound back to him every time:
otherwise, when he had shot away all
of his arrows, he would be helpless.
and another, who had cleared his own
tree would come and take away his
game; so there was warm competition.
AT last all the chlpmunks were killed
or gone, and then we went on to an
other place, keeping up the sport un-

A Dou Ambulance.

A dog ambulance is likely to be es-
tablished shortly in connection with
the British military service, says the
London Express.
The dogs of the war ambulance are
intended, when trained, to find the cas-
ualties on a widely scattered battle
field, and so shorten delays in search
work.
The trials recently made of dogs
trained by Major Richardson showed
how certain breeds can be trained to
find the wounded when hidden in rocks
wood or grass, even where the scent
was crossed by water, and to guide
the bearers by continuous barking.
In South Africa there was often diff
ficulty in recovering the wounded ow-
ing TO the wide extent of front and
when night fell before the work coulu
be completed, as in the case of big
actions, some wounded were not recov-
cred before dawn.
The best dogs for the purpose are -.
Bernards, cross-bred settlers and col
lies, especially those of deer tracking
stock.

president Harper" explained the
thoughtful man, may be very learned
and wise in many ways, but he lacks
knowledge of the fair sex. He has
suggested a $4,000 building for the
girls exclusively, and they naturally
don't want it. Now, if he had only
been diplomatic enough to get some
woman to suggest this, and had then
vigorously protested against it on the
ground that they couldn't afford any
such expenditure for the girls alone,
he would have had them all wildly in
sisting that they must have it."-Chi-

There was one loyal and devoted
member of the late TON" Reeds fam
lily to whom the death of his master
would have come as a great grief if his
own had not forestalled it. This was
Dash, the dog, for many years the
family pet, and well known to all the
family friends, who never failed to in
quire for him. The dogs death was in
the nature Of tragedy. 1t was not an
event to reach the newspapers, but Mr..
Reed told the story to an old Maine
friend, who, visiting Portland this
summer, made the usual inquiries for
the dog.
Poor Dash had grown so old that his
years did not sit easily upon him. His
nerves were sensitive, everything irri-
tated him, and he was cross and snap
pish. The family finally decided that
the situation was unbearable and Dash
was punished. If such a thing had
happened to him before, it was so long
ago in his puppy days that Dash had
forgotten it. Mr.. Reed always insisted
that his heart was literally broken by
the humiliation, for Dash never raised
his head again, and died the next day
Since his death Dash has held as high
a place in the family memory as he
had before held in its affections.-New
York Times.
