with having been one of the most sue
cessful on the North Shore.
The fremen are thoroughly pleased
by the success of their first annual ball
given at Bramer's hall last Monday
evening. The attendance was large
enough to test the capacity of the hall,
and all had jolly time. Over $45 was
netted from the dance for the company Is

I've got room, now, by myself,
A room my very own.

And hooks where l can keep my clothes

A SPOILED DAY.

"Mr. Jameson will be here tomor-
row." said Miss Lentz at the close of
the afternoons session of the Tilyard
school; che was at the Godfrey school
yesterday, and we may expect him here
tomorrow. You may get ready for dis
missal."
Faces frightened, and suppressed
whispers were heard as books were
hastily gathered together, and at sound
of the bell the school quietly arose and
were dismissed; but they were hardly
out of the door when there was a per-
feet babel of voices in shouts of glee.
When Mr.. Jameson was expected his
coming was hailed with delight. He
looked like a Santa Claus with his
white hair and long beard. Then, too
he never scolded, and he was so kind.
If a boy or girl failed he would say,
gently, "Try again. I'm sure you know
It," He always had something nice to
say about the school, it's teacher, and
the scholars, and he always left a ray
of sunshine in the teachers heart as
he said, "You are doing very well, and
you keep splendid ORDER" and as he
stood for a moment at the door and
bowed, and said, I'm real proud of
you, and am glad ] could be with you
today" the bright faces Of the scholars
showed their love for him-he was so
different from the other director, Mr.
Solomon Wise, who frightened the chill
dren and made the teachers nervous by
his gruff ways.
No one was more glad than Zilpah
RaynOr when she heard the announce
ment for Mr.. Jameson always said when
she stood before him, Here's the lit
tie girl whose name is the same as my
mothers" and then he would extend
his hand, and ask, "How are you, Zil-
pah?'
so zilpah thought a great deal of
Mr.. Jameson, and always had a splen-
did day when he visited the school; and
another thing that endeared him to her
was, he passed her home on his way
to the school, and would fill his carriage
with children whom he might meet on
the way. He passed early, for he drove
over to Somerton for his mail--and

zilpah was about early the next
morning in her anxiety to be ready
when Mr.. Jameson should pass, and
when she came downstairs to her break
fast her mother said: ''Zilpah, you give
Bobsie his breakfast when he gets
awake, and take good care of him. Mrs.
Davis was taken sick during the night
and I am going over to see what 1 can
do for her. I'll be back in time for you
to go to school,
'But I can't go with Mr.. Jameson if
I wait; I'll be too late,' and there was a
deep frown on Zilpah's face.
81 am sorry that you must miss Mr..
Jameson, but we cannot very we'll help
it, you know" and Mrs. Raynor hurried
away on her errand of mercy.
Something always happens when 1
am going to have a good time" pouted
Zilpah as she gathered her books to-
gether, and left them lying on a chair
in the DINING room, while she went to
watch from the parlor window for Mr..
jameson. There she fretted and pout-
ed until she was in very disagreeable
state of mind, and she was so occupied
with the thoughts of her fancied griev-
ances that she did not hear little Bob
sic as he came down the stairs in his
bare feet; but when a crash and cry
were heard she ran out to the dining
room to find BObsie, books, school-bag,
and chair in heap on the floor.
"You naughty boy" she cried, as she
rescued him from his position, and
shook him roughly.
"Bobsie-only wanted-to-to see
-birdies,' he sobbed, as he hid
away under the table, frightened by
zilpah's harsh words and the shaking.
you've seen those pictures often
on oh r6 tnId of RI
touch my books and pencils, you naugh-
ty boy" and Zilpah scolded as she
gathered the things together.
What did you do with my red pen
cil?" she demanded, as she searched
for it on the floor. This pencil was a
particular favorite with Bobsie, and he
liked to write" with it.
"Bobsie- didn't-take it," sobbed the
little fellow under the table.
Eyes, you did" declared Zilpah, "and
want you to show me where you put
it," and she pulled Bobsie from his ref
uge.
mo! Bobsie didn't take It," he de-
clared.
Zilpah was surely in very sad state
Of mind that morning, for she had new
er so spoken to her little brother, nor
treated him so, and she was still scold-
ing when her mother returned.
''Why, what is this?" asked Mrs.
Raynor in surprise.
"Bobsie has been at my books. and
has lost my pencil" said Zilpah, as she
got her hat and books and hurried off
to school.
900 didn't tiss Bobsie," called the
forgiving little Bobsie between his sobs
as Zilpah hurried away.
you've been naughty and I don't
want to kiss you" called back Zilpah,
as she went on, stopping only long
enough to look back at a pleading lit
tie face with eyes filled with tears.
Zilpah arrived at school a few min
utes before the bell rang, and just as
Mr.. Jameson came walking into the

ing, children he took a chair at the
teachers desk.
The mornings lessons went very
we'll, for the children always did their
best for Mr.. Jameson; but Zilpah's eyes
were less bright and her smile less
CHEEKY than usual, and Adella Green
asked anxiously, Are you sick, Zil-
pah?"
"I'm not sick, but" and the tears
came into her eyes, for she could see a
fearful little face, and hear a pleading
voice of one she had treated very un-
kindly, calling 900 didn't tiss Bobsie,"
and she could not enjoy the day. At
the noon hour she longed to run home.

distance was too great.
The spelling in the afternoon was al
ways time of pleasure, for Mr.. Jane
son, remembering the time when he
went to school, liked to have the chill
dren line up before him, and spell. Zil-
pah liked this part of the day, too, for
she was a good speller.
Today Zilpah's mind was in tu-
multi and her heart oppressed, and when
Mr.. Jameson asked pleasantly, GLOW is
the little girl who has my mothers
name?" she answered half-heartedly,
''I'm we'll, thank you"
Then the spelling began, and from
one end Of the class to the other the
words went rapidly, and were spelled
correctly, for ten minutes.
'I'll have to give you something
harder, something that used to puzzle me
when I was a boy, for never could re-
member where the rs and e's belong

twinkled good-naturedly.

mind as two little blue eyes full of tears
and pleading voice rose In her memo

down at the floor, and Adella leaned
forward anXiously as she heard her
friend hesitate.

hesitated.
That's right, zilpah," said Mr.
Jameson, kindly; ''you know 1t, go right

"B-e-l-e-i-v-e," spelled Zilpah, and
she knew she had failed by the sigh OF
regret and sympathy that came from
her classmates, and the tears came in
to her eyes.
Don't mind, dear, you will do better
next time" said Mr.. Jameson, as he
passed the word to Emma Mock, who
spelled 1t.
The spelling ended, Mr.. Jameson took
his departure, and the school was dis
missed, and Zilpah, with red eyes and

THE l.oLDEN HYNDE.
By Alfred Noyes.

1t was on July 25 that, with a bold
ness we can hardly realize, the course
was laid There intruments for finding
latitude were far from perfect; longI
tude it was practically impossible for
them to determine at all; the variation
of the compass was ascertained with
childish crudeness. But straight across
the Pacific (for sixty-eight days with
out sight of land) Drake pushed his
way as it were by inspiration.
With the fruit of Aladdin's garden
clustering thick in her hold,
With rubies a-wash in her scuppers
and her bilge ablaze with gold
A world in arms behind her to sever
her heart from home,
The Golden Hynde drove onward, over
the gIittering foam.
H.

HOW THE APOSTLES MET DEATH.

Though the manner in which the
Apostles met death has been the sub
iect of considerable controversy,
church traditions give the following
accounts of their fate:
St. Matthew is supposed to have suf-
fered martyTdom. or was slain with a
sword at the city of Ethiopia, in
Egypt.
st. Luke was hanged upon an olive
tree in Greece.
st. John was put into a cauldron of
boiling oil at Rome and escaped death.
He afterward died a natural death at
Ephesus, in Asia.
st. James the Greater was behead-
ed at Jerusalem.
St. James the Less was thrown from
a pinnacle or wing of the temple, and
then beaten to death with a fuller's
club.
st. Philip was hanged up against a
pillar ut Metropolis a city of Phrygia-
st. Bartholomew was flayed alive
by the command of a barbarous king.
st. Andrew was bound to a cross,
whence he preached unto the people
ullb'l llt fNl'llti'
st. Thomas was run through the
body with lance at Coromandel, in
the East Indies.
st. Jude was shot to death with
arrows.
st. Simon zealot was crucified in
Persia.
St. Matthias was first stoned and
| then beheaded.
st. Barnabas was stoned to death
| by the Jews at Salania.
st. Paul was beheaded at Rome by
the tyrant Nero.
Catholic authorities state that the
bodies of the Apostles are now in the
following named places: Ten are in
Italy-namely, Peter, Philip, James
the Less. Jude, Bartholomew, Mat
thias and Simon being in Rome, and
Matthew at Salerno, Andrew at Anal

also in Italy-the former at Venice
and the latter at Padua-
ST. Paul's body is also believed tC
be in Italy. Peters is of course, In

after him, as are also those of Simon
and Jude. Those of James the Less

That the roots Of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
OF human maladies Is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some Of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
squaw to get well rs soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root for her,

SACK OF FLOUR, 900.

There is no question about flour be-
ing a vital necessity to mar, but $780,
900 for one sack does seem a bit high.
That is what a sack once brought,
however, and no one had been manip-
ulating the wheat market either.
1t is an interesting tale Of an cleo
tion bet and its payment, OUT on the
Pacific slope.
r. G. Gridley, of Austin, New, in
April, 1864, made bet with a friend
on local election, the loser to carry
bag of flour on his shoulder for a
certain distance.
Gridley lost, and on the goth of the
month paid the bet by carrying this
flour sack, ornamented with ribbons
and flags, while band played "John
Browns Body" as he was a demo-
crat.
There was a great throng present,
and when the end of the journey was
reached Gridley proposed that the
flour he turned to account for the
sanitary commission.
Somebody present suggested that 1t
be made into cakes and sold, but
Gridley declared that the whole bag
should be put up at auction with the
understanding that the purchaser re-
turn IT to be sold again.
Gridley himself was the first pur-
chaser, at $500, and after that 1t was
sold again and again to those present.
From this beginning there came a
kind of rage for buying that sack of

If ii is a pretty clear-cut rightangled
