THE WAGON,

THE WAGON.
The JanUary-frst start Of the water
wagon always reminds me Of a street
car that leaves the city just as the the
aters close for the night. The car is
packed, People hang onto the straps
and crowd onto the platforms. The
car starts amid a scene OF ioyousness
and good cheer. but IL no sooner
crosses the bridge and gets out into
the residence district, than people be-
gin to crawl of. By and by there is
room for everyone TO have seat
little later the remaining passengers
select the best seats and all ride fac
ing forward. One by one the people
depart, and by the time the car rat
ties into the barn there isn't a soul
aboard except the conductor, the mo
torman and a fellow who has forgot
ten his pledge and gone to sleep in
the front corner. At the start the
glad chorus was Little Drops Of

passenger and start him on his wob-

backward in the night: "We1l (hic)

Some women are much like cats.

81 have seen boys" said the mas
ter, "who would start to make sled,
and by the time the fret runner was
finished decide they would rather have
a wagon. When one wheel was sawed
out, they would conclude to make
rabbit traps. After hunting for two
hours for Just the kind of hollow
tree, they would take notion to go
skating. You know what kind of
men such boys make ?"
We smiled and said we thought we
did.
"You ought to, said the master;
"you have seen plenty Of then.
When boy of that kind grows up he
will rent farm, and by the time the
crop is half made, trade it for a span
of mules, sell the mules, and put up a
little grocery store. The grocery
fails, and he decides to be a carpenter.
He gets second.han set Of tools,
and when he gets job, quits it so
often he is discharged. Then he
borrows money of his wife's father to
start a dray, and the first time he gets
a good job for hauling, goes off duck
hunting.
"That kind of fellow will potter
three days over a seventY7fye cent
clock, and put in month of good
blowing weather trying to make a
windmill.
ut was not bad plan the Indians
had of teaching their boys to swim.
They just threw them in, you know,
so they had to swim.
"If you want to succeed, you must
make yourself finish what you under
take. No matter how hard it ia, no
how much better something else looks,
do what you have started to do.
"Get that habit, boys, and success
is half won. 1t is very tempting to
try to do half dozen things without
finishing any of them, but that is the
rood to failure. Center your mind
on the thing before you, and do it
and do it the best you can"

Permanent Naval Display at Jamestown.

While not on 80 tremendous a scale
as in the opening weeks, the naval
display at jamestown will neyerthe-
less be maintained in an adequate
manner throughout the entire period
of the exposition. The United States
government has assigned three ships
to duty right off the great pier during
the seven months, and these will be
constantly open to the inspection OF
visitors. Considering that the most
popular exhibit at the Worlds Fair
at Chicago was an imitation battle
ship built on piles in the lake, the
reality Of the jamestown squadron
will be of the greatest interest to
strangers from the interior. But this
is by no means the limit Of naval rep
resentstion the harbor Of Hampton
Roads, being naval rendezvous, ia
seldom without several war vessels ly-
ing at anchor, and the ships Of the
United States navy are constantly ar
irving and leaving the harbor. The
Navy Yard at Portsmouth and the
great ship. building plant at Newport
News are generally crowded with war
craft under construction and under.
going repairs, 50 that no visitor need
leave the section without having biz
curiosity satisfied concerning naval
matters.
Some Of the foreign fleets viii not
arrive until later in the summer, and
an effort will be made 70 have this
government extend further invita-
ton TO the different naval powers to
make Hampton Roads a stopping
place for their individual cruising yes
sells during the period Of the sxposi-
ton. This is frequent occurrence
in ordinary times, and with proper
representations to the different gov.
ernnents could be made feature.

late IN the evening, took their eli in,
throwing snow balls, and plastered the
front Of the school house with them.
It was pleasing defiance OF regula-
tions, and next morning they viewed
their handiwork with great grati6ea-
ton. But, alas Mr.. Byers at re-
cess gave them couple of brooms
and made them work vigorously until
all the snow had been removed. 1t
was considerably humiliating. but it
was efectual punishment. A boy who
once tied tin can to dogs tail was
himself regularly tied to his desk each
morning for week.
What a pleasure it was to be sent
to Barnhart's pump for bucket of
drinking water for the school What
ecstasy to be privileged to go and get
a supply of switches-for in those
days the rod was not spared-cherry'
or mulberry, or maple. and to see
some other fellow get good licking !
How keen the anguish Of hearing the
bell ring just in the midst Of most
exciting game of "black man" or
prisoners base" or town ball.
What glorious games of marbles used
to be played, sometimes as many az
fifty "bits being up-grays, white
alleys, chinas, clouds and even pre-
cious agates and glass alleys.
Alas The boys and girls who
swarmed around that old school house
forty years ago have dispersed to the
four corners of the earth. Some have
prospered and others have failed.
Some have lived easily and comforta.
bly, and some have carried heavy
burdens that were added as the years
rolled on. Many have passed on to
the other shore. This sketch will fall
under the eye of number of them,
and Observer hopes that it may be a
source of JOY to them to recall those
bygone days and the memory of their
childhood joys and SORROWS.

A City of Precious Stones.

A prosperous world expends every
year $25. 600 900 in rough diamonds,
and such of them as do not come
from the mines of Kimberly may be
considered negligible quantity. A
very dresry town, this Kimberly,
dumped on the desolate African veldt
that produces not an ear. of corn.
Little better than desert, in fact,
where artificial irrigation is every
where necessary.
The city's streets stretch like pro-
tecting arms around the precious..caves
which in few years have yielded
more than II tons weight of diamonds.

back on the story of this desert patch
and you have strange romance. 1t

emigrants fleeing out of Cape Colony
a generation ago to escape British op

strange fate settled on a patch of
gold 40 miles in extent which has

yields hundred million dollars every
year in the precious metal.

used to play in the sand with bright
pebbles for marbles Neighbor Schalk
Van Neikirk saw one of the stones,
took it from the little ones with the
remark that it might be valuable,
aud the following year it was on show

as a magnificent diamond of 81 karats
Two years later old Van Neikirk
himself picked out of the mud plaster
OF neighbor Du Toit's hut the famous
