Naturally among a crowd of bows the
nOn-reSlstant gets much the worst of If
SO with Jeremiah. From covert taunts
20 open and more or less violent demon
STATIONS of a physical nature was a
logical sequence. MANY the night that
jeremiah went home with a sore and sad
heart and related TO his good mother
what had happened. Keturah Butter
worth never had had any experience with
the KIND of boys her son was thrown
among, and she oounseled patience and
endurance, and the heaping of Goals of
fire upon the heads OF the prosecutors bv
returning good for evil.
But Jeremiah was learning bv contact
with the young ruffians who tormented
him. / am afraid it would have shocked
his mother If she could have read his
thoughts at times. Slowly there arose In
him a sense that was not akin to anv of
the teachings of the Society of Friends.
In his checks a dull fire of anger glowed
sullenly at times; his strong muscles
twitChed with the lust of battle, and his
blood felt hot In his veins
At length there came time when en-
duranCe ceased to be a virtue, and pa
thence no longer was possible One of the
larger boys had been batting Jeremiah
with particular pertinacity, ending bv
pushing him into a gutter filled with
muddy water.
What happened Immediately after this
act never has been described alike by anv
two Of the spectators. 1t is agreed that
eremiah made a careful examination of
The condition of his clothing In absolute
zlenoe. Then he broke into profanity
ms language showing that he had cast
training of a lifetime to the winds
ID broke away from all the traditions
ol his forebears. He said: Blank Your
siin, Tom Morgan, III knock your
g med head offl"
Tom Morgan has no clear recollection
C. what followed this, nor can any of the
- wd OF boys and girls that stood by
g.e an account by rounds OF what was
q ne However, II Is not necessary to
eak Of rounds IN this connection. Ii
a. happened in one round. For the first
time IN his life Jeremiah Butterworth
f4iled to keep his word He did not
knock the head of OF Tom Morgan; but
within a few seconds Tom would have
been glad to have him do so IN order
that he might escape what was happening
10 him. The whole landscape seemed to
le Pervaded by Jeremiah ButterwOrth,
md that peaceful person seemed to have
Iegs and arms without number. Pres
ently Tom reposed on his back with
jeremiah astride him. - Nutf, 'nuff!'
cried Tom; but Jeremiah was not familiar
with the customs of warfare, and con-
tinued to pummel his PROSTATE foe until
he was beyond saying even 'Nuff!"
One triumph did not satisfy the victor.
Once Tom Morgan was disposed OF, he
seized upon another of his former tor
mentors, and after him another, both In
turn being thoroughly hcked" after the
most approved fashion. Then panic
seized the crowd and it dissolved by
flying in every direction, while a much
1nussed Quaker boy, IN his right mind
once more, but not clothed in the ordinary
sense of the word, went mournfully home.
Verify, mother, ! smote them hip and

REASON FOR THANKFULNESS

THE sermon had been long on the
L subject of Giving" The minister
nominated certain brethren to 'wait ~on"
the congregation, and the congregation
groaned in spirit, but went down after their
wallets nevertheless.
When the requisite amount had been con-
tributed the pastor of the church stepped
impressively to the front, and the men in
the pews glanced at each other aPprehensively.
Brethren, said he, Brother Smith
will be with us again tonight"
And he won't take up a collection, in

ting in a cosy corner of the club smoking
room, reminds me of a story read not
long ago about some noted person.
think it was Lord Macaulay-that served
to illustrate what he called the pre-
dominance of mischance'
Now, Lord Macaulay or whoever it
was, was dilating upon this idea to his
sister one day. Said he: l shall give
you an instance. l have never yet
wanted to find the 'Ivanhoe" volume that
did not have to pick up everyone of
the volumes of Scott before l finally came
to the "Ivanhoe" book-in other words,
invariably have found the volume l
searched for at the bottom of the pile
1T appears that the sister demurred
somewhat at this doctrine; and suggested
that a practical trial be made at once
So the two went to the library with that
purpose in view.
TRY it now,' said the sister to
Macaulay; L am anxious to see how this
theory of yours comes out. Now, you
want "Ivanhoe" There, piled on the
table, are all the novels of Scott. Let's
see whether you'll find "Ivanhoe" at
the bottom
1T is related that the historian went
to the table on which the Scott volumes
were stacked, stretched forth his hand,
and the first volume he picked up was
Ivanhoe
"'Therel' exclaimed the sister tri-
umphantly You see your theory is
eXploded!'
mot at all, responded Macaulay i'm
perturbably. ON the contrary, my the
ory is proved. For the first time in my
life l wanted to find my volume at the
bottom OF the pile, to prove my case,
and here l find it at the top. There
could be no demonstration of my theory
more perfect than this
Colonel, continued the younger men,
Der, gazing solemnly at his companion,
there's a good deal in that theory of
Macaulays. l have tested it a thousand
times And there are many variations
of the 'predominance of mischanCe,'
with its attendant doctrine of the per-
versity of inanimate Objects III give
you an instance, in homely way, of
trivial misChanCe of this sort that often
happens,
Yesterday evening l became seized
with the notion that l wanted to eat
chestnuts. l hied me to an Italian
vender in this neighborhOod and pur-
chased a huge bag of nicely roasted
chestnuts, which took to my apartment,
to enjoy in selfish solitude. They were
mighty fine chestnuts, and | relished
them much But the last chestnut in
the bag was bad, and it was the only one
in the whole collection that was bad.
had put it into my mouth, full of con-
fidence that it was all right. l can taste
that chestnut yet.
Now, the question arises, why was it
that the last chestnut had to be bad,
when there were perhaps forty chestnuts
in the bag? Why can't one come to
the bad chestnut before he has eaten
everyone of the others, so that he may
have an opportunity to get the taste
out of his mouth by eating good one?
The things too deep for yours truly!"

There's just one thing that always

ALy angry thoughts to smother;
An ferget 'em when see
The smilin' face of mother.
An father says when he comes home
From troubles on the street;
Hes that gentle smile, it makes
The whole blamed world look sweet.
An CARLOS dog talk seq so, too,
An SO does sis and brother;
I tell you there amt nothin' like
The smiliu' face OF mother
It kinder brightens every place,

That when I die and go away

I'll know it's Heaven when see

A Mans Value.

There are few people in the
world who usually rate a man
away above his actual value. They
are his wife and children. 1t is a
good thing, too, for many a man
has been uplifted and strengthened
to greater efforts by the knowledge
that these loving ones expected
great thin g of him. The conf
dence of that woman and those
children cannot force snail man
to tremendous heights. but they
ought to stir up in him a determi-
nation to do for them all that is in
his power to do.
Perhaps he cannot offer them
the best, but it is his fault, ordin-
arily. if he fails to protect them
rom suffering. either during his
life or afterwards, for the privilege
is open to almost all men to look
after the future as we'll as the pres
emf.

him as follows:

because it wi not reduce the taxa

is little doubt but the tax laws OF

settles An old Score.

Japan's latest victory settles in
full, with heavy interest, the old
score she owed Russia for the
part played by the latter in 1894,
when she robbed Japan of the
fruits of victory in the Chinese
War. The indemnity that viii
be demanded of Russia will be
heavy indeed, and the neutral
Powers are disposed to permit
Japan to exact the last farthing.
The indemnity from China en-
abled Japan to establish the gold
standard and prepare for the
great struggle that is now COM
ing to a close. The indemnity
from Russia will no doubt be en-
ployed to raise Japan to the first
rank naval and military pow
ers.
