IF PA COULD BE A BOY.

I've often heard papa say
He wisht he WAS boy:
THAT life would be one grand sweet
song,
With nuthin left bat JOY.
II that is what he really thinks
! wish he'd take try,
An if he had to keep it up
1t bet that pa would die.
He couldn't wallow round in bed
Till it was after eight,
An get up as mad as hops
Cause ma had called him late.
He couldn't spit the coffee out
An call it poisoned slush,
An say the eggs weren't fit to eat
An ask who burnt the mush.
Fer if he tried sech things as these
Mad yank him by the hair.
An fix him so he'd rather stand
Than sit upon chair.
He couldn't come home late at night
An then begin to scold
Because he'd made us wait so long
The grub had gotten cold.
He couldn't shove his plate away
An say he weren't a hog;
He couldn't swear, he couldn't smoke,
He couldn't kick the dog.
He couldn't rush out to the club,
An have a little game,
An then come home in such way
He didn't know his name.
He couldn't knock off work mex day
An lie around in bed,
While ma cracked up great chunks of
ice
An packed it round his head.
If he could be a boy again
think it might suit ma
But you can bet your button boots
1t wouldn't do for pa,

THE NEW "DIXIE.

The old brigades march slower now
the boys who wore the GRAY
But there is life an battle spirit in q
host O them today.
They hear their comrades calling from
the white tents far away,
And answer with the ringing roll Of
"Dixie!'
They feel the old time thrill of il
the battle plains they see;
Again they charge with Jackson, an
face the fight with Lee;
An the shoutin hills are answered by
the thunders of the sea,
of "Diyie!"
The halt1efileds are voiceless-once
wet with crimson rain;
Der unknown graves of heroes wavn
golden fields of grain;
But phantom forms-they leap to lie
and cheer the ranks again,
For answering to the roll of Dixie,
Beat, drums! the Old-time chorus: an
buales, blow your best:
And wave O flags. they love so we'll.
above each War-scarred breast!
Till they vanish down the valley to
their last, eternal rest,
Still answering to the ringing roll of
"Dixie!"

manifested by sporting men In TINS
city and all over the country in the
battle between John J.. Sullivan and

fighters, which is scheduled TO come

agreement signed by the two famous
old fighters. they are 20 meet TO hghl

receipts. The winner is to take oo'

Both men have been training care
fully for this, probably the last puSll'
istic encounter in their careers. Botn
men show their age and have accumu'
lated flesh owing to high living ana
lack OF exercise and, from pugilistic
point of view, the fight does not prom
ise much. At the same time it is ad'
milted that owing to the prominence
of the two men, for many years among
the greatest fighters of the world, am
the singular conditions, the fight Will
be of interest TO the younger genera
tiOn of sporting men.
Some sporting enthusiasts consider
the fight as being more in the nature
Of joke than . real Eight, and doubl

A LONG, WILD RIDE.

Over Eight Hundred Miles ON Horse
back In Less Than Eleven Days.
When General Kearny was ordered
from Santa Fe across to California
with the dragons, he was anxious to
get his report back to Washington as
soon as 1t could be done. The mes
senger who was detailed to carry this
report TO Fort Leavenworth relates in
Outing the adventures of that rapid
ride:
II carried only a blanket, a lariat,
knife, rife, with about a hundred
rounds Of ammunition; a dragon pis-
tol and about two spoonfuls of salt. I
depended on my rife for meat and on
finding Indian herds for fresh horses.
1 weighed about 14O pounds and was
as tough as leather.
81 got my first remount about eighty
miles from Santa Fe and rode it two
days until l found camp of Utes
hunting buffalo and got fresh horse
from their herd in the night
l had to be very careful about fall
ing IN with Indians, FOR they would
have killed a lone man for his outfit.
A half dozen times or more hid In
some draw in the prairie till night or
rode miles off the trail to keep away
from their hunting parties or camps.
1t was very risky, too, riding into their
herds and roping fresh horse.
Il didn't dare make fire In the day
time, but at night could cook little
meat on Goals, and the little l slept
was while lying on my lariat, so that
my horse couldn't get away with it out
of my reach.
when l reached Fort Leavenworth
l had ridden S32 miles in a little less
than eleven days and had used nine
horses. The last two horses got from
government trains that overlook"

EARLY DINING.
In Ancient England 1t Was at 10
o'clock In the Forenoon.


In Ancient England 1t Was at 10
o'clock In the Forenoon.
The ordinary hour for dinner In Eng
land In the fifteenth century appears
to have been 10 O'Clock In the forenoon.
In the larger baronial castles a lavish
hospitality was practiced, but even
among the lower ranks, says con-
temporary, the bona Hde traveller
could always be sure of welcome and
the best provision that the house af-
forded. To shut the door upon the
houseless stranger was an offense
which the church would not readily
condone, and 1t was remarked Of more
than one who had erred In this respect
that luck ever afterward deserted him.
The approach Of the meal was often
announced by the blowing Of horns, so
that wayfarers might hasten their
movements.
Curiously enough, grace was said be-
fore the tables We're laid, and tho
guests appear to have had their appe-
tiles whetted in most salutary man
ner by regarding the movements Of the
attendants as they spread the cloths
and brought in saltcelIars, drinking
vessels and other necessaries. To
wait on others at table was considered
rather honorable than otherwise, and
the story of the Black Prince attend
ing to the wants Of the captive French
monarch contains nothing extraordi-
nary. In the households of the great
the carvers and those who presented
the wine at table were never less than
esquires and often mobiles and barons.

THE HEIGHT OF WAVES.

1t In Never More Than Fifty Feet
From Trough to Crest.
Owing to many causes the ocean is
never still. The wind Is one of the chief
disturbers. for it gives rise to waves.
The effect of an ordinary storm Is not
felt below a depth Of fifty feet, and be-
meath TOO feet the water can only be
disturbed by tides and undercurrents.
When you read Of ''waves running
mountains high" you may be sure the
writer has never seen a mountain, but
has q fine flow of words. The usual
height of a wave In common storms
seldom Is more than twelve feet and In
violent gales on the open sea never ex-
ceeds fifty feet from trough to crest
and length of about 900 feet. In the
south Pacific waves forty three feet In
height have been measured, In the
south Atlantic thirty-nin feet, In the
bay of Biscay thirty-six feet, In the
North sea and the Mediterranean thir-
teen feet. OF course nearer land when
driven furiously against an obstacle,
such as a lighthouse, waves often dash
against the top Of the lighthouse, such
as the Bell Rock, 100 feet, and INST,
In the Shetlands, 200 feet. But in the
deep sea, even In bowling tempest,
they never run higher than fifty feet,
which would be a very poor mountain.

AS the inventor of visible speech" the
system of phonetics In vogue in vir-

Coming from a family three genera

developing the art Of instructing the

READING HABITS.

Yen Must Cultivate System II You
Would Improve Your Mind.
The mind Is very delicate, compli-
Gated piece Of mechanism, and, al
though made to do a certain kind of
work maryelously well, yet, when put
to an entirely different use, its eff
cheney is ruined, just as the delicate
machinery intended for producing fine.
watch parts would be completely spoil
ed for this purpose If used to make
clock parts. When the mind becomes
detected to certain extent from its
normal condition by the vicious read
ing habit, it DIVORCES more and more
and rarely goes back to the normal.
By desultory habits of reading and
lack of system you conf@e the mind
with large mass Of unclassified mate
rial. You pick up book and read a
few pages and then pick up another
one and then go from that to paper
or magazine. This puts the mind In a
chaotic state, because you let every
thing run into the mental reservoir
without any order or definite plans.
Systemless reading is profltless. You
cannot gain knowledge Of friend or
prize bis friendship by hasty first
impression. so in reading book you
cannot gain everlasting good by skim
ming over its contents or by reading
few pages one night and then put
ting 1t on shelf to gather dust until
you get time to read it again. Every
thing comes out Of the mind as it went
In, and If it does not enter in an or
derby manner it will come out in chaos.
Success.

According to the medieval legend,
there was an entrance to purgatory on
the island of Lough Derg, on the coast
Of Ireland. 1t was simply the mouth
or common cave or cavern, but st.
Patrick is said to have built mon
astery over it and to have secured the
opening with an immense grated iron
door. The place became widely known
as "St. Patrick's purgatory," and it
was generally believed that any one
who had the courage to explore the
pit would be excused the trial of pass
ing through the real purgatory after
death. The fame of the place was
largely due to a poem written In 1853
by Henry of Saltery which pretended
to relate the experience of Sir Oyayne
Miles, who had embraced the opportu-
nifty Of expiating his crimes in its dark
some depths.
In the year 1895 a monk from HoI-
land visited the celebrated shrine and
afterward declared that what was
claimed for it was a 'travesty on re-
ligion" and that the so called ''pur-
gatory" differed In no respect from
dozens of other known caverns." This
news was conveyed to the pope. who
ordered the monastery destroyed and
the cavern closed up. This order was
carried out to the letter on st. Pat
rick's day, 1897.

There is well known Devils glen on
the PERCEPTIONS coast Of Ireland. 1t
happens that the gentleman who owns
this weird spot Is dark complexioned
and hot tempered The glen is not
open to the public every day, although
certain days Of the week are set aside
for the benefit of the tourists. 1t
CHANGED on one of the close days that
party of American tourists gained
access somehow or other. At this time
the owner was at the glen and encoun-
tered the intruders. He went up to
them and peremptorily demanded If
they knew that they were trespassing2
A member Of the party was rather
irate by the question and not unnatu-
rally retorted, Pray, who are you that
challenge usT The reply came prompt
ly, II am the proprietor" rWell, we
were told this was the Devils glen,
but we did not calculate to meet the
proprietor" The Irishman saw the
point of the joke and took 1t very good
naturally and invited the intruders to
luncheon.-London Graphic.

Walters Boyhood.

To illustrate the fact that children
suffer intensely from causes which
their elders regard as trivial and which
they themselves are inclined to laugh
at In later life Mr.. Whittier once told
this story of his boyhood to a friend:
It was at an ancient hillside farmyard
near Haverhill. In ascending this hill
his father was In the habit of relieving
his horse by walking, and Greenleaf
Yves expected to walk also 1t was a
terrible trial to the boy, for gander
would begin his warlike threats as soon
as he saw him, and in later life Whit
tier declared he could have marched
up to hostile battery without such
sinking Of the heart as he felt when
ever he approached this harmless but
noisy fowl. If he dared to tell his
father Of his agony Of dread he could
have remained safely in the carriage,
but the fear Of being laughed at pre-
vailed over every other consideration.
Mr.. Whittier thought this was the ex-
perience Of many children and that
parents should treat their apparently
petty troubles with more seriousness
than is their custom.
