A Modest Village Blacksmith.

The little village could not boast
of having many entertainments, and
a concert was an event which was
looked forward to with delight by
the inhabitants. 1t was at one of
these musical feasts" that a stran-
ger sang with great feeling "The
Village Blacksmith"
In response to a vociferous encore
the singer was about to start Crock
ed In the Cradle of the Deep" when
the chairman tugged his coat tail.
'tBetter sing the ovid 'un over
again, mister" he whispered. 81

over again and pop in another verse

Changed, Vet the Same.

A southern man, who has for
some years past been established in
New York, recently visited his for
mer home in Virginia. While there
he was busy renewing old acquaint-
ances. Among these was the son
of an old preacher whom the for
mer Virginian remembered as hav-
ing invariably discoursed on the
same topic.
"Heard father since you've been
back?" asked the son.
81 am sorry to say that l have
not" said the other. 'Tell me"
he added, with smile, "is he
preaching that same old sermon?"
ooh, yes" replied the son, not
at all taken aback by the question,
"but for the last year or two he's
been hollering in different parts OF
it."-Lippincott's.

A Conscientious Parson.

A wedding took place short
time back in large town in the
north of England, the service being
conducted by a rather eccentric VIC
ar. Two days after the ceremony
he called at the house of the bride
groom's mother, but she happened
to be out, so he said he would call
again, which he did later in the day,
carrying two large bags under his
arm.
This time he found her in. So
he began by asking them to clear
the table little. Then he opened
the green bags, from which he took
the registers. These he opened and
in most solemn tone said:
"Mrs. Williams, YOU have forgot
ten to dot the i in Elizabeth"
The family breathed once more.

Claiming the Child.

She may have been either wick

children who refuse absolutely to
"stay put" but whatever her all
ment her mother certainly made
enough of a parade of it. The pair
were strolling along the other after
noon, and around the left wrist OF
the child was stout dog collar of
leather, to which was fastened a
heavy chain of steel links, the end
of which was held firmly in the
mothers right hand. The claiming
might have been done in all kind
ness, but the effect on the passing
throng was to arouse keen sense
of pity for the child.-New York

TROUBLE At HYMAN.
0bstreperouS Negroes Cause Race
Riot to be Appreciated.

Reports from Hyman say there
was considerable uneasiness IN that
community Saturday night and Sun
day because of a threat of a race
riot. 1t seems that the trouble arose
from negro threatening and ours
ing white man, and the white man
drawing q pistol and trying TO shoot
the negro. Other white meu inter-
! fered and separated the two, and
caught the negro when he was trying
to escape from the store. A crowd
of negroes gathered quickly and
threatened to''use up'the white man
when he went home, but he was &C
companied by other white men and
the negroes did not make the at
tempt.
On SUNDAY the negroes gathered
at their church IN that village and
the white people were fearful lest
thvy might mean to give trouble
and were ready to meet them, but
there was no trouble.
Itis said that this is the third
time that there has been threat Of
trouble in that community and that
the people are getting restless over
the situation. They say that the
leaders in this sort of trouble must
be sent away from the community
and they expect all the race who
want peace aud good order to help
them IN maintaining it and sending
off and keeping off the men who
make the trouble.
If "a not should break out in that
community the people in all SUR
rounding communities are ready to
flock to the assistance and put down
the trouble. Many of them are
snxious to get even with some of
the agitators. Quick and easy com.
mnnicatiou could be had with Flor.

FATHERS LESSON.
The Trick Of Teaching as He Tried u
on the Boy.

"Don't lop down on the couch
that way, Bobby" the tired little
mother implored Stand up and
pull down your sweater and try to
remember. Henry" she added,
lifting a flushed, almost fearful face
to her husband as he entered the
room, "this boy simply can't learn
anything by heart, do you know it !?
It's physical impossibility. Here
his teacher has assigned two pages
of the Lady of the Lake to be COM
mitted to memory before tomorrow

all the evening, and he can't say the

A half hour followed, during
which the paternal voice grew loud

wife grew first tranquil, then merry.
At last the folding doors opened.
"Come, son." said Bobby's father in
a voice that cracked the whip.
"Show your mother what you've
learned in half an hour.
"All he needed was to have it i'm
pressed on his mind that the last
words in every two lines rhyme"
he added as he placed the open book
in his wife's hands and pointed to
the couplet about the famous stag:

again. "They rhyme in twos, re-
