Therefore the Man Hesitated Before

A man on business trip arrived in
town and went to a hotel Shortly
after a friend called and was shown

gloomy countenance a trunk which
stood against the wall.

Wild Life Observation.

Good observers are probably about
as rare as good poets. Accurate see
ing, an eye that takes in the whole
truth and nothing but the truth-how
rare indeed It is ! So few persons
know or can tell exactly what they
see so few persons can draw right
inference from an observed fact so
few persons can keep from reading
their own thoughts and preconcep-
tions into what they see. Only a
person with the scientific habit OF mind
can be trusted TO report things as they
are. Most Of us in observing the
wild life about US see more or see less
of the truth. We see less when our
minds are dull or preoccupied or
blunted by want of interest. This Is
true Of most country people. We see
more when we read the lives Of the
wild creatures about us in the light Of
human experience and impute to the
birds and the beasts human motives
and methods. This is too often true
of the eager city man or woman who
sallies out into the country to study
nature.
The tendency to sentimentalize ma
ture has in our time largely taken
the place Of the old tendency to de-
monte and spiritize. 1t is anthro-
pomorpbism in another form, less
fraught with evil to US, but equally
in the way of clear understanding Of
the life about us.-John Burroughs in
Century.

Sl.00 A YEAR.
What the Louisiana Purchase Was.


When the thirteen original States
asserted their independence, the ter
titorY west Of the Mississippi was
under the the sovereignty of Spain.
But in the year 1900, by secret
treaty, Napoleon, then first Consul of
France, acquired this territory from
Spain, although Spanish officials
still remained in authority at New
Orleans, and were hostile toward
Americans in navigating the Missis.
sippi.
This hostility resulted in President
Jefferson neutrality-suspicious. for the
purchase Of the city aud island of
New Orleans, in order to control the
Mississippi, and Robert R. Living

France, snd James Monroe, afterwards
President of the United States, were
commissioned to conduct the negotia.
tions.
Rather eruneKpectedly, when the mat
ter was broached, Napoleon offered
to sell not only the city and island OF
New Orleans, but the entire territory
then owned by France west Of the
Mississippi, embracing what are now
the States Of Louisiana, Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, North Da-
kata, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kan.
sas, Indian Territory, and part of
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana aud
Minnesota.
Napoleon was influenced, OF course,
that without New Orleans it would
be hard to defend this large territory,
also that it was yielding no revenue
and that he was in great need Of funus
himself for the equipment Of his
armies at home.
Representatives Of the United
States at once accepted the PROPOSE
tion of Napoleon, and the treaty was
signed at Paris, April Soth, 1903,
the formal transfer being made at
New Orleans, December Goth, 1903,
and for Upper Louisiana, March 10th,
1904 Many people questioned the
wisdom OF this purchase, others BIT
terly opposed, and some ridiculed it.
But in the clear light Of today it is
recognized as one Of the greatest steps
this country has ever taken.

Lee, who called out, "Let that man

the fellow, a rawboned, shambling,
gray-headed, gnarled old darky, who
scraped the ground with his foot and
kept turning bis hat around neryously

What Would You Do 2

Say what would you do If pretty girl
Should wipe from her forehead struggling curl.
And smother a sigh as If sweet unrest
Were holding the for; in her rounded breast
Then tremble bit like timid dove
And you felt that declaration of love
Must soon purl softly into your ear
From the poutng lips Of the little dear.
While her futtering breath would your features fan
Say, what would you do young man
And what would you do if she'd seize your hand
With pressure mummy would understand
And press il close to her burning cheek
As if it would give her courage 10 speak
Then pour into yours her luminous eyes
As blue as the CLINT Of the azure skies,
And mellow as heart Of the tabled wine.
And Iemblingly murmur "Wilt thou be mine !'
Would you spurn the peader and give her the jilt'
You'd wilt, by goy you'd wilt
You would bunch yourself in her arms and lay
Your head on her bosom in baby way
And COO like satisfied tvo-year old
When her plump arms cinehed you in loving fold.
And you'd grin like an ape when she'd softly toy
With the stiffening down on your lip, my boy.
And would thrill to the marrow with tickish bliss
As she handed you the bethrothal kiss.
And you'd swear that you'd struck heaven on that
divan
That's what you'd do Young man

Boys Are Watched.

When we see the boYs on the streets
and public places We often wonder If
they know that business men are
watching them. In every bank, store
and office there will soon be place
Tor boy to ELL. Those who have the
management Of the affairs Of business
will select one OF the boys they will
not select him for his ability to swear,
smoke cigarettes or tap a beer keg.
And the society swell" who is daft
about little functions and is happy in
the conceit that he is lust the article"
that young ladies find indispensable
on all occasions, is in as little demand
as the beer guzzler or cigarette smoker.
Business men may have few loose
habits themselves, but they are look
ing for boys who are as near gentle
men in every sense Of the word as they
can find, and they are able to give the
character of everybody in the city.
They are not looking for rowdies.
When a boy applies for one Of these
places and i, refused they may not
tell him the reason why they do not
want him, but the boy can depend
upon it that he's been rated according
to his behavior. Boys cannot afford
to adopt the habits and conversation
Of the loafers and rowdies if they ever
want to be called to responsible posi-
tions.
