On the Move.

Rev. A. C. Jeffries, the father OF
the noted pugilist, was contradicting
again the rumor that his son would
return to the ring.
Jim said Mr. Jeffries, lis strong.
When he makes a New Years resolu-
ton. he sticks to it. When he says
he'll do thing that settles it. My
boy is never going to fight again.
Jim doesn't vactllate like old Eph-
RAIN Caldwell, quondam friend OF
mine. Ephraim vacillated even in his
choice of a home. He was always on
the move.
In fact, they used to say that when
Eph moved he tied his chickens legs
together for convenience OF transpor-
tation, and in time the chickens got
SO used to this that, whenever he en-
tered the henhouse, they would all lie
down on their backs and hold up their
slim yellow legs to be tied"

and our last horse dropped down eX-
hausted. What were we to do? don't
know where | got the strength, but |
shOuldered the pack myself and we
both plunged on. 1 would NOT give
in-the thought that they might be
starving at home forced me on, don't
know how far we walked; l hardly
knew in what direction we were 60
ing my one thought was to keep NOV
ing. The poor fellow near me was
completely gone, and lay down to
sleep. I begged him to get up, to try,
to move. I beat him; | dragged him
along; but he only begged to be left
alone. 1 grabbed him by the collar
and just pulled him along, stopping to
rest every few minutes. | couldn't
see; l couldn't feel; l myself longed
to lie down in the soft snow and go
to sleep. Then | thought of the dear
ones at home; I would never see them
again. This gave me renewed energy,
and, dragging my half lifeless COM
rade, stumbling under the weight Of
the pack, I plunged on. Finally | was
completely done; l couldn't go another
step; | felt that death couldn't be far
off. Oh, the utter misery of despair
of that moment! I sank down and
cried in utter helplessness. | don't
know what made me, but | struggled
to my feet once more and called again
and again, but the storm only Knocked
Il
was so sleepy and tired, and it was so
nice and soft lying in the snow. The
next thing l remember I was feeling
some whisky being poured down my
throat, and then that I was being
dragged through the snow and that
| was home and safe. Well, boys, do
you know who did it? Why, it was
that little woman sitting so quiet by
the fire, there. 1t appears that she
somehow had a prG3entiment that
was out in the storm and she kept
going to the mouth of the tunnel every
little while, as she had been doing
nearly every night. When | gave up
to die | was nearer home than |
thought, and she heard my call. She
got some whisky, and, making the
man hold a torch so that she could
find her way back, she plowed through
all that snow and storm until she
found me- and then by main force she
dragged me back to the house. Not
only that, but she went back again
and brought in the other poor fell
low What do you think of that for
pluck? It was weeks before I got over
the effects of that night; but I tell
you what, boys, that was the happiest
New Year l ever had. It's nearly
twelve o'clock; so fill up, all, and
make ready to drink the New Year
in when the clock strikes, and one
toast that l know you'll all join with
me in drinking will be: The Heroine
of New Years Evenly Little Wife"

A Needed Resolution.

Rev. William r. Huntington of New
York said recently that it was more
dangerous to be a railway brakeman
than to be murderer, and proved his
assertion with statistics showing that
one murderer in seventy-three was
hanged, whereas one brakeman in
thirty was killed.
Discussing this startling fact the
other day. DR. Huntington said that
the widespread spirit of selfshness
was, no doubt, responsible.
I'VE incline" he said, ''to put our
selves too far ahead of other people.
We could all make no better New
Year resolution than to be less selfish.
AS it is, we are too much like the art
student.
There was, you know, poor Yer
mont art student who shared studio
bedroom with journalist from Wis
cons1n.
"The Vermonter went out one morn
ing to do the marketing, and brought
home two chops. He laid them on the
table, and the cat leaped up and de-
NOured one.
Hang it, he said to his Wiscon-
sin friend, the cat has eaten your
chop"

Haunted House in the CAPITAL,

At the corner of Thirteenth and X
streets, in what used to be the most
fashionable part of Washington, stands
an imposing mansion which was built
not long after the war by a certain
Col. L, a man Of considerable for
tune. He was stricken with a mortal
illness not long after the house was
finished, and the doctors told him
that he must die. Being greatly in
love with life, however, and possess
ing so much to make it enjoyable, he
declared that he, would not give it up.
Resisting stoutly the approach of
DEATH he shrieked and blasphemed
so loud as to attract the attention of
the entire neighbOrhOOd. Neverthe
less, the grim enemy carried him off
finally, and the funeral was hardly
over, when his ghost made it's first
appearance. Afterwards it was seen
on many occasions in various parts Of
the house, especially in the library,
and so persistently did it haunt the
premises that servants could hardly
be induced to remain. At one time
the mansion was occupied by the
Spanish minister, who told remark
able stories Of things apparently super
natural which he witnessed.-The IL
Illustrated Sunday Magazine.

A NEW YEARS TRAGEDY

From bed of hay in a farmers barn.
A tramp he awoke on the glad New
Year;
He hadn't cent, and was hungry and
cold,
And existence to MIN was sad and
drear.
He didn't expect, as his way he pur-
sued,
Tho bells were a-ringing the glad
New Year,
To meet soft snap and have an in
vite
To come along in and partake Of a
beer.
The year that was dead was nothing
to him
The year that had dawned was
nothing more;
He'd continue to tramp and freeze and
thaw,
And SILVER and shake and sleep and
snore.
But Farmer Jones, with a merciful
heart,
A heart with feeling for others
woe,
Caught sight of the tramp ss he
hoofed along
In storm and sleet and a foot OF
snow.
And he called him in with cheerful
call,
And he gave him 10 drink of cider
new;
And he sat him down to a festive
board,

Temperance Societies Illegal.

The clergyman recorded complacent-
ly the twenty-seventh New Year
pledge taking.
Excellent work. A glorious day"
he said. And yet do you know that
there was once time when all this
sort OF thing was criminal?"
MOI"
Yes. 1t was in India, at the be.
ginning OF the English occupation.
Medical men believed in those days
that a white man could not live in
India without drinking. They thought
he needed half pint of whisky, or
it's equivalent, every day. And they
insisted on his taking it.
Temperance societies, total alb
.stinence and the signing of the pledge
were things forbidden in India. Such
things were thought injurious to the
white mans health out there. Hence
to go i'll for them was to be arrested,
fined, imprisoned, banished.
But today in India total abstinence
is encouraged, for it has been found
that the abstainer stands the heat far
better than does the man who drinks

A Pathetic Christmas Custom.

The cemetary in The winter sun
shine was white with snow. Up from
the snow rose a thousand white shafts
and monuments. And on all the little
graves of children Christmas trees
trimmed with toys were set
The speaker, young woman of Ger
man descent, smiled pensively and
went on:
Eyes, in many German towns it is
the custom to put Christmas trees in
stead of flowers on the children's
graves. 1t is thought that the children
must prefer trees to flowers at this
season. The little dark-green frs,
trimmed with tinsel and with toys, red
and yellow and blue, give a quaint
touch of color to the immaculate
whiteness of the cemetery.
"The scene, when first I saw it,
moved me. The snow sparkled in the
sun The tombs of the dead were
very pure and white against the gay
blue of the sky. On all the little
graves the little green trees rustled
mournfully in the breeze and the toy
animals and bells and tin soldiers
knocked together stiffly and discon-
solatc!y."

her class. you may tell me the differ
ence between Christmas and New
Years"
"Yes'm On Christmas you find
peanuts in your stocking. On New
Years you find a cad over your back.
On Christmas you have turkey for
dinner. On New Years pa sits down
to the table and looks all around and
asks ma what in thunder she's got
mutton stew for
But aren't there other differences,
johnny"
"Yes'm. Pa gets tight on Christ
mas and bowling trunk on New

glad she's alive. On New Years she
wishes she had died ten years ago. On
Christmas the landlord comes around
and drinks pas beer, and says he's
going to lower the rent a peg. On
New Years he comes back and don't
find any beer and says he's going to
boost it up two pegs"
