A boy who had read the story OF
George Washington and the Ratchet
cherished an ambition to initiate the
Father of His Country, and, taking
the AZ, he one day cut down choice
pear tree which had cost his father
$3.50 when it was yearling.
When the old man got onto the fact
that the tree was chopped down just
- it was getting ready to bear, he was
tolerably warm, and said II wonder
If this is some OF that kids work? If
it is, l will warm him up till he will
have to eat standing for a week."
Then the old man sought out the lad
and asked him if he knew who cut
down that tree. He expected to trap
the boy into confession, but the boy
had made some observations himself,
and anewered: II think, dad, that
you know more than any other man
in the country, and have heard you
say that when one isn't sure what is
the best thing to say, he had better
keep his mouth shut. This tree ques-
ton is one about which l don't care
to express an opinion" "My son."
said the old man, as he clasped the
boy in his arms, eff you will stick to
that rule all your life you will be the
greatest politician that ever came
down the pike"

Sing Us the Old Songs.

The old songs are best, for they
carry US back to the days that we're
radiant with sentiment, when we were
part Of poetry and romance. They
stir our natures in their profoundest
depths, and, reaching below the cal
lous Of our putrescent hearts, play
strange Accomplishments upon the
long. disused strings of our remem-
brance. Who can resist the subtle
potency Of those old songs that stop
the world in tear.smiles that we may
wave . salutation. back through rift
in the storm OF years to the youth and
maiden of the long ago?
That the old songs are best has been
shown by the perennial popularity Of
PATHS "Home, Sweet. Home," Emma
Abbott's "Anpie Laurie" Jenny Lind's
Kathleen Mavourneen," Chris tina
Missions "Way Down Upon the Suaw-
nee River" and Melba's "Coming
Thro' the Rye" We do not always
associate these immortal songs with
the great singers who have included
them in their concerts, but the singers
are often remembered because of the
songs themselves. There are few who
can remember the many acrobatic
arias of the splendid vocal artists who
have commanded almost fabulous
sums for their singing, but no one can
forget when they yielded to popular
demand for the old songs. Patti or
Sembrich or Melba or Calve never had
more sincere appreciation in the
supremest moments OF their triumphs
than when they descended for the
time from the classics OF foreign com.
