A VERY RAW RECRUIT.

A story is being told Of 4 raw re-
cruit who was set sentry-go for the
first time. A sandwich had been
given to him by good-natured COM
rade, and the man was about to eat it
when the Major appeared. As the
officer was in muftl, the sentry did not
recognize him and did not salute. The
Major grasped the situation and
asked:
"What's that?"
"a sandwich replied the recruit;
shave bit?"
"Do you know who amp asked
the Major.
"Don't know from a crow. Perhaps
you're the Majors coachy or his
groom?"
mo, I'm the Major himself"
cob, good gracious!" exclaimed the
sentry; "here, hold the sandwich while

A Bad Promise Is Better
Broken.

Dick never could understand why 8
girl like Violet should have singled
him out from among host of admir-.
ers. He was considering the subject
for about the hundredth time one eve
ming while he smoked his after.dinner
cigarette in his luxurious bachelor
quarters. In the course of the eve
ming he was to meet his fancee and
her mother at Lady Kingdoms dance;
but while waiting he thought he could
not spend the time better than in
thinking of Violet. They had been
engaged month that day. and it had
been the happiest month Of bis life.
Four long golden weeks, that had
aeeted away without cloud or a
shadow to mar their brightness.
How pretty she was, his wife that
was to be; and, more than that, how
gentle and sweet and womanly! A
little cold, perhaps, a little reserved
and MISUNDERSTANDING; but in his eyes
that was fault on the right side, for
be belonged to the order of men who
enjoy the pursuit Of shy game. If she
had thrown herself into his arms, he
would not have loved and desired her
half as much as he did when she stood
aloof and received his passionate pro-
tcstations with the pretty half-shy,
half disdainful smile that always SEEM
ed to him one of the most charming Of
her many charms.
The door suddenly opened, and.
"Gen,leman to see you, sir" an
aouncrd lis man. II told him you
were going out but he said his busi-
ness was urgent and you would under
stand when you saw bis card.'
Dick glanced at the card held out
to him.
"Cecil Trevor" lie read slowly.
Never heard the name; but show him
up, James"
He looked keenly at his unexpected
visitor as lie stood up to receive him.
"How-d'ye-do, Mr.. Trevor" he
said in his raightforward way. 81
don't remember meeting you before,
but if | can do anything for you !
shall be glad
Cecil Trevor returned the keen
glance as keenly. He was good
looking man, tall and dark and broad
shouldered; but misery was written
so plainly on his face and in his eyes
that Dicks kind heart smote him with
a sudden pang. What business had
he to be 80 happy and lucky when
other chaps were just the reverse?
II have come," said Cecil Treyor, in
a low VOICE. ito ask you to release me
from the promise l gave. have tried
to keep it-God knows ! have-bqt ]
can't"

DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR

DEA II VI L u OAD L T. "A AGs
Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are wearily nghine;
Toll ye the church bells sad and slow,
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old year, you must not die;
You came to readily,
You lived with US steadily,
Old year, you must not die.
He lieth still; he doth not move.
He will not see the dawn Of day.
He hath no other life above.
He gave me friend and a true true love-
And the New Year will take 'em away.
Old year, you must not 60;
So long as you have been with US,
Such joy you have seen with us
Old year. you shall not go.
He froth'd his bumpers to the brim;
jollier year we shall not see;
But tho his eyes are waxing dim.
And tho his foes speak ill Of him,
He was friend to me.
Old year, you shall not de;
We did so laugh and cry with you,
I've half mind to die with you,
Old year, if you must die.
He was full of joke and jest,
But all his merry quips are DER;
To see him die, across the waste
His son and heir doth ride post-haste,
But he'll be dead before.
Everyone for his own.
The night is starry and cold, my friend,
And the New Year blithe and bold my friend,
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathes! Over the snow
heard Just now the growing cock.
The shadows flicker to and fro;
The cricket chirps the light burns low;
'Tis nearly 12 o'clock.
Shake hands before you die.
Old yea, we'll dearly rue you;
What is it We can do for you?
Speak out before you die
His face is growing sharp and thin
Alack! our friend is gone!
Close up his eyes, tie up his chin;
Step from the corpse, and let him in
That standeth there alone
And waiteth at the door.
There's a new foot on the floor, my friend,
And new face at the door. my friend
A new face at the door.

1T WAS ONLY A DREAM.

Mr.. Swiggard was deeply peni-
tent.
"You know, DOCTOR" he said to his
friend and pastor, the Reverend Mr..
Snow, II swore of drinking anything
Intoxicating last january"
"Yes."
"Well, I have kept my vow faith
fully all this long time-until last
night"
"And then you fell?"
II am sorry to say 1 did,"
II am as sorry as you are. Tell me
all about it"
"1n moment of weakness l found
myself in front of saloon. One OF
nv friends happened along. Come
in and have drink, old man. he said.
No. l said. I've sworn off, That's
all right he said grabbing me by the
arm. 'One drink won't hurt you.
Come in and get one drink, and then
you can renew your swearing off, I
protested, but the next moment I
found myself inside, and the old thirst
came back.
1 took one drink, and then another,
and another, and then my friend pro-
posed that we go out and paint tho
town."
"But you did not do that?" inter.
posed the doctor.
II am sorry to say l did. We visit
ed every saloon in that part OF town,
getting drunken and drunken, and
having an uproarous time. But We
weren't satisfied with that. We went
to swell establishment that seemed
to be saloon and restaurant COM
bined, and ordered champagne sup.
per. The waiter brought it on, and
we were about to begin on it, when
something happened"
"What was lt?"
II woke up"
"Then it was all dream?"
cit was"
"And you hadn't broken your
vow?"
Il hadn't been near saloon. Hadn't
touched drop"
"Ah, we'll, then you haven't any
thing TO repent of my friend, and you
have been exciting my commiseratiou
on false pretenses and amusing your.
self at my expense"
"No, haven't DOCTOR" said Mr.
Swiggard, wiping the, cttperspiration
from his brow. "The worst is TO come.
l confess to you, doctor II cant
help feeling sorry, even yet, that
woke up before I had tasted q drop OF
that champagne!"

An Englishman and a German were
travelling together in diligence, and
both were smoking. The German did
all in his power to draw his companion
into conversation, but all to no pur-
pose. At one moment he would, with
superabundance Of politeness, apollo
gize for drawing his attention to the
fact that the ash of his cigar had fallen
on his waistcoat or a spark was en-
dangering his neckerchief. At length
the Englishman exclaimed: "Wby
can't you leave me alone? Your coat
tail has been burning for the last ten
minutes, but didn't bother you about

tant street band was playing the GEL
Dorado" waltz, and the swinging mel
ody rang hauntingly in Dicks ears.
He never forgot it. In the years 10
come, whenever he heard the wild,
voluptuous music, he thought of that
moment-when be and Violet stood
face to face in the lamplight's rosy
glow, and be read the sorrow in her
eyes, and listened to the brave unset
fish words with which she tried to
comfort him, while all the time her
heart was breaking for the sake of the
man she loved.
"Violet," he said at last, "you're the
pluckiest little girl in the world, and
the best, and the man who has had the
good luck to win you is blessed above
all other men. Don't look 80 sad, dear.
1t will be all right now-it would have
been all right long ago if l had only
known. 1t was the want of money
that stood between you and Trevor,

fairly we'll.
"My dear Child" he said, in a quiet,
matter-offact tone, "don't talk non
sense. There has been little mis-
understanding, that's all, and now I'm
going to put matters straight. I hate
being argued with, and it's only waste
of time, because I always take my own
way in the end"
And then she broke into bitter weep.

"Ob, Dick!' she sobbed, II can't let
you do it. 1t wouldn't be right or
fair. And ii don't love you, l re.
spect and honor you with all my heart.
There is no one whom l respect and
honor more than do you-not even

Dicks eyes softened suddenly as he
looked down at her, but his voice
sounded just as quiet when be spoke
"Honor and respect" he said, care
very good things ia their way, but love
is quite another thing. Don't cry.

But she only sobbed the more.
"Dick!" she cried. ooh, Dick!"
He put his hand on her shoulder.
"Husb!' he said, ''don't say any
more. It's all settled now. You said
few minutes ago that you belonged
to me, and surely man may do what
he likes with his own. l have decided
to give you away to Trevor, and I
hope-ab! here he comes''
A quick firm step sounded on the
stairs; and a moment later Cecil Ire
vor appeared in the doorway, and
stood looking from one to the other.

hour" be said, land it's more than
that. Have you-may II" He paused
rather confusedly.
Dick took Violet's hand into his own
and led her forward.
"Take her." he said. "She belongs

made me happy for month, and now
she's going to make you happy for the
rest Of your life."

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook If they begin the
Christmas Dinner with>llttle appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. It
may not he fair for any to do that
let US hope so for the sake of the cook!
The disease dyspepsia indicates bad
stomach, that is weak stomach,
rather than a bad cook, and for .
weak stomach there is nothing else
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives
the stomach vigor and tone, cures
dyspepsia, creates appetite, and makes
eating the pleasure it should be.

Want Larger Homesteads.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Sept. 2O.-In-
fluential residents of South Dakota
are arranging to have q bill intro
duced at the approaching session Of
congress with the object of having the
homestead laws amended, SO that those
who make entry Of public lands in that
part OF South Dakota known as the
ceded Sioux lands, an area embracing
many millions of acres and extending
from the Missouri river to the Black
Hills, can enter six hundred and forty
acres instead of one hundred and
sixty. as at present.
1t is figured that it settlers are per.
mitted to enter on such tracts they
will have sufficient land to enable
them to engage in cattle raising on 9
moderate scale, and that with small
bunches of cattle and such crops as
they could raise each season they
would be assured of good living and
enabled to reside permanently on their
homesteads. Farming has met with
failure there. It is asserted. The soil
Is excellent, but the rainfall, except In
limited areas, has not been sufficient
to mature crops season by season.
