A POpulnr Target.

During the famous Fenian raids in
the seventies Of the last century Colo
mel Albert Clarke of Boston went to
the Fenian camp near the Canadian
border. The camp Of the Canadian
troops was but n short distance away.
One day Clarke, wearing light col
ored stovepipe hat, was strolling along
through the fields mile or so from
camp. Suddenly the report Of a rife
rang out, and his hat fell to the ground.
Clarke picked It up and jammed 1t
down more tightly over his head. An
other report sounded in the opposite d.
rection, and Clarke then realized that
his hat was the cause Of the firing. He
started to run and the bullets began to
fly thicker and faster. When, after a
hard run, he reached n piece Of woods
that afforded shelter lie looked at his
new tile. and to his dismay 1t was a
total wreck There were all Of twenty
bullet holes in 1t, but not one struck its
owner.
The sharpshooters of both the oppos.
ing forces had been amusing them
selves-at the expense Of the editors

de sea, an right benin him wus de
army Of Pharoh. An all at once'st.
breddern. de sea froze over es solid es
n rock, an de chillern an Moses walk
ed across" In the congregation were
some young negroes who had been to
college and whose orthodoxy had been
slightly warped. One OF them arose
and said. "Why. parson, that can't be
possible, cause the Biographies tell us
that water don't freeze at the equator"
The old man hesitated q moment and
then replied scOrnfully: .T Jest knowed
one of you young niggers wus gwine
ter dispute de work Of de Lawd. Young

A botanical friend showed me not
long since what he said was the ap-
pie that must have tempted Eve In
what was surely tropical fruit gar
den. 1t was little bit Of an oriental
crab, about q third of an inch in di-
ameter. and, of course, it was bitterly
sour! My philosophizing friend point
ed out that, of course, the fruits in
Eden were the natural wild" fruits,
nnd he was wondering whether the fall
OF mankind would not have been ac-
celerated If the attracting tree had
been hung with a fair crop of pthe
tempting golden or crimson varieties of

Keeping Busy.


The surge Of the wind in the frozen street
Is strong as the tide of the sea;
The sharp. steely points OF the icy sleet
Are piercing as piercing can be.
I gather my strength and my courage
thin
And tackle a job that hate like sin.
The storm king has swept. in his anger
bold.
The SHOWS Of a thousand long years.
Has buried my sidewalk in crystals cold,
Has heaped 'em clear up to my ears.
Has drifted and he; ned them horribly
high
The man who must clear 'em away Is l.
No tramp heaves in sight to be bribed to
work.
No urchin appeals for the Job:
MY neighbors. I'm sure. would not let mo
shirk; -
They simply would call mo q slob
II should allow any snow to stay
And SO must shovel 1t all away
AS fast as clear off the confounded
stuff
The blizzard just slips in behind
And banks up the rear with snowdrifts
enough
To drive a man out OF his mind.
I'd rather reside in u fat with its woes
Than live in n house of my own-when Il
SHOWS.
