his heart that he secretly purchased
the object of it from the farmers son,
the price paid being a dime and the
two bottom joints of fishing rod.
This happened the day before we
left, and on the following morning,
while returning in an open wagonnette
a sudden exclamation from one of the
ladies caused us to glance in the d.
rection OF the box seat, and we were
surprised to observe a small, brown
face peering down at us from under
the boys elbow, with quaint. apolo-
getical look which seemed to say, "I'm
here, but don't blame me-"
"You don't mean to say you've
brought that little beast with you!"
"Of course l have" answered the
boy, taking the mongrel up in his
arms. Hes mine; and he's not a lit

lnviqorate the Digestion.

To 1nVlgorate the digestion and
stimulate the torpid liver and bowels
there is nothing SO good as that old
family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which
has been in use for over century.
They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every
night for a week will usually be all
that is required. For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, one or two taken every
night will afford great relief.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and being purely vegetable are
adapted to every system.
Sold in every drug and medicine
store, either plain or sugar-coated.

Precocity of the Modern Child

There is no doubt that the thought
full child of to-day would have been the
much-punished child of the past, says
the London Chronicle. At the same
time the witty child does add to the
gayety of life, besides enforcing a
higher standard of conversation among
her reproving elders. 1t was a mis-.
take, for instance, on the part of the
reprOving elder to tell one of these
wits of the nursery that If she was so
naughty she would not go to heaven.
The little culprit seemed impressed
for brief moment and then she gave
a resigned sigh. "Oh, WELL" she re-
marked, 1--WE been to two theaters

1t was while a large party of us
were staying one summer at farm
house-that the boy picked him up
a little, sad-faced, lop-sided, mongrel
puppy.
The old sheep-dog, who had LONG
lost all recollection of his own child
hood, treated him with that arrogant
contempt with which Age, that may
be said to have learnt words of one
syllable, habitually regards poor
Youth, still struggling with the alpha
bet, and in consequence the unfor'
tunate Juvenile was forced to seek
amusement in the society of litter OF
small pigs. Whenever you crossed
the farmyard you were sure to catch
sight of him trotting about with his
miniature herd of baby swine, his de-
jected look, and ragged puppy coat,
making him the very personification OF
a poor little four-footed prodigal.
Whether, under the circumstances,
it would have been fair to have
blamed the pup for his choice OF
friends, or to have judged him by the
company he kept, are questions which
the reader can decide, but know at
the time he certainly seemed to me to
be, from an intellectual standpoint
hardly at all superior to his compan.
iOns
When you called him he promptly
ran away, and if you pursued he would
lie down and grovel on his back in the
mud, and as often as you set him on
his feet he instantly fell down again
What little mind he had appeared to
be attracted towards medical research,
and (having no one else to practice
on) he freely administered to himself
most strange garbage with all that dis
regard of personal risk which charac.
teriZes true martyr of science.
A penchant for prescribing for his
own real or fancied ailments seemed
indeed to attend him all through life,
and even now, though we'll advanced
in years, it is hardly possible to take
him for run round the garden with
out being startled by his suddenly
commencing to cough and choke in an
alarmingly noisy manner over some
particularly long blade of grass which
he has rashly undertaken to swallow.

youthful confidence which caused him
to believe that the vile little imitation

the time she reached an attractive

Several dropped in Mr.. Bangs for
few words and the time passed very
quickly until four, when Spifhns was

rang.

Mr.. Bang found Spifins and two
other men sitting at a coy table over
in a corner. Introductions followed
and Bang soon discovered one of the
men could tell awfully funny stories
not the old timers you hear every
where, but brand new ones. And all
the while that Bang enjoyed himself
he argued that he was getting closer
to Spiffins and was the more certain
of the big deal going through success
fully. The only difference he could
see between talking to Spiff1ns at the
Office or spending few moments with
him at the club was the price of the
cigars smoked.

He was awfully put out about the in.
considerate flight of time. Still, on
second thought, this was good bust
ness, and few details must be sacri-
feed when there's something big on.
Spfffins was entitled to some of his
attention and the other men were sure
to prove valuable acquaintance. And
what stories the fat one could tell! He
hoped he'd be able to remember some
Of 'em. There was one amusing one
he must remember to tell Emily The
memory of Emily recalled to his mind
that there were some social doings
that should have taken him home
early. Yes, he must break away from
the buneh-
Spifins thought it would be nice to
dine at the club. The other two men
fell in with the idea and there wasn't
any w'ly for Bang to get out of stay
ing. In the interest of the big deal
he stayed. Maybe he could talk it up
little with Spif1ns on the side.
Then some one suggested dropping

A Bargain In aorchids.n

A New York woman, who has a
summer home in the Catskills, was
delighted a few days ago when some
of the native children brought her a
flower which appeared to be a rare
orchid. She promptly offered the
children three cents apiece for each
plant of the kind that they would
bring her.
Next day the group returned bear
ing go plants Of the desired variety.
The second day the force of small
Iaborers was augmented by every
child for miles around, bringing in all
three hundred orchids.
The third day farmers who had
been working in the neighborhood
with their teams abandoned all other
occupation for the gathering of or.
chids, with the result that the buyer
had to take $500 of the plants, all of
the same variety, before she could
call off the contract.
