"A WORLD OF LITTLE THINGS.

"A little trill Of laughter a chord in Ma

"A little deed of righteousness to stand
against the wrong;
"A little duty Needed a little honor won:
"A little hill surmounted, and a little kind

"A little labor daily; little prayer and

And so the whole creation to its ceaseless

For little man is living in a world of lit

A little hope to cheer US, although it wait

A little fire for comfort when winter
nights are chill:
A little. dream, God-given, to bless us on
the way
A little welcome waiting US at ending of
the day;
A little purpose shining through every
deed we do;
A little bunch of roses to overspread the

A little peace surprising to which the
spirit clings,
For little man is living in a world of lit

A little hope, a little love, little toll and

A little glimpse beyond the vale, little

A little faith, a little doubt, little

A little hating journey, and a little of its

A little knowledge merely Of little ways

A little dream of Heaven awaiting at the

A little struggling upward, although on

For little man is living in world of lit

The Kings Promoter.

A traveller in Italy, Mr.. Ashton r.
Willard, quotes the painter, De An
gels, as saying that the '.gift of
princes that OF remembering
names and faces, often depends up
on some one who stands convenient
ly near, to supply the required in
formation. If an out-of-the-way
province is to be visited, the prompt
er is sent on in advance, to inform
himself in regard to the nOtables.
Then, on the great occasion, he
keeps close to the king, and dis
gOrges facts at the required mo-
ment. SO the king compliments
each man appropriately, and every
body is happy. The same thing is
done at the opening of an art exhi-
bition, with some artist as prompter.
Once" said De Angels, 81 failed
to prompt quickly enough, and de-
stroyed my official reputation for
ever. 1t was national picture ex-
hibition. There were several artists
in the suite, but 1 was walking near
est the king. We suddenly turned
corner, and came upon a canvas of
the new school. 1t was an atrocity.
I knew [ ought to say something,
but 1 hesitated too long. Possibly I
was stunned, and before I recovered
my wits it was too late.''
''What happened?"
''The king saw it, and before there
was time to put him on his guard,
he blurted out an emphatic condem-
nation
"Why should he have been put on
his guard?"
'.The young man who painted the
picture was walking directly behind
us. He was nice fellow, too; one
of the incest fellows in the world
if he would only leave paint alone"

Hillsman was then questioned re-
garding the attempted poisoning of
Herbert Wright. He said: 81 was
responsible partly for the publica-
ton in the Journal Col. Franklin
told me that Herbert Wright had
tried to commit suicide, and he gave
me the details that afterward APP
peared in the Journal. He said an
effort was being made to hush it up,
and he thought had better give the
facts to the paper under pledge Of
secrecy as to the source of it's infor-
nation. Under no circumstances
was [ to give the story to Irving
Warde. So about midnight l met Jim
Holcombe, the city editor of the
Journal, and told him the colonePs
fairy story"
The cross-eXaminat1on which fol-
lowed did not shake the testimony,
but brought out some amusing and
curious facts concerning the varie-
gated talents and tastes of the wit
ness. Finally he was dismissed.
Uncle Dick Norris, the old hunts
was pertinent. 81 recollect the day
John L. Wright was killed very well,' -
he said

asked Mr.. Everett.

''Where was it %
Il saw him pass my house,
''Was he alone?''
mo, sir; Col. Jeems Franklin was
with him; but Col. Jeems just seemed
to be out for the exercise and didn' t
have any gun with him.
Did you see anything more of
them that day?'
81 saw Col Jeems come back by
himself an hour or so afterward, but
1 never saw Mr.. Wright come back
at all''
you are positive that Col. Frank
lin was in the Bayou Woods with
John L. Wright the day when the lat
ter was killed?"
Eyes, sir, I am positive
The prosecuting attorney asked
him whether he had seen Herbert
Wright that day, and he replied that
he had not.
At this point the defense called
George b. Fenton. The name rang
out over the expectant crowd, and
Franklin looked trife uneasy, as if
he wondered what information the
eX- detective had secured.
There was a movement along that
Nf 40
ing up as the witness made his way
toward the stand; and when the
spectators looked in that direction
they bebeld the flushed face, the
carefully parted blond whiskers, the
dull spectacled eyes and the dressy
form Of

WHICH ONE WAS RIGHT?

-Four little girls, all in a row,
Before the blackboard jetty;
One little word they had to write
They thought and thought with all their
might;
Then r and I and T and e,
The first one spelled triumphantly.
And "Good!' the teacher said, said she
To laughing little Lefty
The second looked, and frowned bit.
Although she wasn't fretty
Should she begin with R? Instead
She wrote w at the head.
And "Good!" again the teacher said,
To happy little Hetty.
Now to the third each little word
Looked very small and petty;
SO w RI G H T,
A long, long word she wrote in glee,
And "Good!" the teacher said, said she,
To knowing little Netty.
Then, last of ALL a little maid,
With blue eyes soft and pretty,
Took off the w, left the G.,
And wrote it, r G H T.
And "Good!'' the teacher said, said she,
To bonny little Betty.
-Four little girls all wreathed in smiles,
They left the blackboard jetty;
For here's the funny thing I've heard
About that very funny word
Though each ones spelling, as you see,
Was different from the other three,
Each wrote it R I G H T,
From Lefty down to Betty!

that mistake had been made and
that his testimony had been post
poned; for there was actually no re-
