POOR HOUSE JOE,

One cold winter morning three men
were seated in room in the town hall
of a village in a New England state.
They were the village selectmen or
trustees, and they were sober and earn
est looking men.
At the back end of the room sat a boy
Is years old. His garments We're clean,
but much worn, and there were tears
in the lads eyes and on his cheeks as
he sat and looked at the men and Won
dered what they were going to do with
him.
The boy was named Joseph Shaw,
though of course everybody in the VIII
lage called him Joe. His father was
one of the three or four village car
penters, and though always. a poor man
he was known and, liked for his honesty
and industry. Joe had been sent to the
village school for several years, and had
been brought up better than some rich
mems sons in regard to his manners.
He was accounted one of the best lads
in the village, and when not in school
was employed to run errands or do light
work for many families.
Two weeks before our store opens Mr..
and Mrs. Shaw had gone one evening to
ride on the mill pond in a boat. No one
knew Just how the accident came, but
the boat was in some way upset and the
two people drowned. Their bodies were
recovered after day or two, and when
they had been buried it was found that
there was nothing left for the orphan

a tenement, where an old woman sat
rocking and knitting.
The little Candle looked out of the
window, over the great city. Every
where there were 1ights-gaslights hared
from the windows; electric lights mace
the long streets as bright as day, and
the little Candle sighed for its very
smaIlness.
I'm simply nothing in the world it
said "I wouldn't even be seen If
were out there with the great arc lights
How happy and gay the world is beyond
this wretched room. People are laugh
ing and singing in the streets; carriages,
filed with beautiful ladies' and grand
gentlemen. are JoEtling their way to
theaters and halls; and the rich lights
will fall from the Chandeliers on their
jewels and make them glitter. The soft
/ eyes of the women will shine and
sparkle while the men breathe love
words to them.
Il have never seen a jewel nor
beautiful woman. Grandmother Martin
here is not beautiful and she does not
even need me, for she can knit just as
well in the dark"
The Candle gave another little fret
full splutter. Grandmother Martin look
ed UP from her knitting ana let her
hands fall into her lap
1.-THE Candle sputtered So" she said,
.the night John first came counting
me-
Grandmother Martins eyes shone SOFT
ly with the light of old memories. All,
surely they were as tender as those Of
the beautiful ladies at the ball!
He was a good man to me, sighed
Grandmother Martin, "and we were very
happy those few. years we lived together.
Then he left me to find the stars. An,
/ it has been lonely since.
| A tear dropped on the ball Of yarn
/ in her lap and another glistened on her
evelid. The little Candle started and
! hared up brightly and Grandmother
/ Martin took up her knitting again.
/ Rat-tat, sounded from the aim corner ;
then the door partly opened and a snail,
thin face peered in through the crack.
'Oh, grandmother Martin you al nave exc. goe
quick? Mothers dying and II s al dark

The small voice shook with sobs. Grand
J mother Martin took up the little candle
/ and hurried after the child down the dis
mai dusty hall, up the riekety staircase
hung down slantingly, ana, except IN the
middle one must walk Withhead bent and
mind the rough spliuters.
The beams of the little candle fell on
a poor ragged coverlet and on the white,

trembling and frightened.
THANK Godi' gasped the woman, as
she saw the candle. Il can see my chill
/ dren once more / didn't want to go out
ITS lighter outside than here whis-
pered the little candle. But she only
thought OF the brilliant streets. The wo-
mans thoughts were still with her chill
dren- She turned her eyes upon them
with the sweet glow Of mother love. The
little candle had 1zeVer seen anything 30
lovely. The children claspsd her close and
cried:
Stay with US. mother. Don't 90 and
leave us ali aloneiss
But the lieht in the woman,s eyes was
already fading. Now a new look came into
them. The woman's thoughts were ind
ing a way for her soul to follow present.

"a sixty barrel fish, whispered the
captain. The harpooner stood up
quietly in the bow, motioned to the
men to cease rowing, and the next in
slant the harpoon sped across the
space and went into the whale fair
and true just under his shoulder.
He sank almost at once and then
came UP and ran, towing US at the
rate of at least nine miles an hour,
so that spray and waves literally
poured over US. After he had raced
for nearly five miles in this manner
the harpooner began to sway in on
the line and the boat was slowly
hauled up on the whale. To my
amazement he continued to do this
till we were actually abreast of the
huge beast and not more than fifty
feet away. Then he passed the line
to one of the men amidships, who at
once laid it over a cleat and hauled in
firmly, bringing the boat right up to
the monster.
The captain meantime steered SO as
to head her away from the whale.
Thus, what with the line being held
tight amidships and the bow swing
ing out under the guidance of the
steering oar, the boat approached the
whale sideways until the harpooner
actually reached over and laid his
