A Boy With a Future.

Farmer .Jcames was Il skintiint. He
had already put in the bank s. a
year for fifteen years and confidently
expected to die Il millionaire. One
day he hired Il country youth to help
him with his work, and as the boy
turned up at & o'clock he was at once
set down to breakfast.
' After tie boy had eaten his fill the
farmer suggested that while they We're
at it they should eat dinner. The lad
agreed and managed to get down a lit
tie more. Seeing that his new helper
was by this time quite rcplete, the
foxy Jeamcs suggested eating supper
and thus get the meals through and
done with.
"Right-o!" murmurct, the boy, and
swallowed half a crust Of bread.
And now" cried the happy farmer,
thinking with glcc Of the saving in
food that he ha' just effected, "let's
get to work.
"Oh, no." answered the boy slowly,

Ono Point Of Resemblance.

When John Mccullough was starring
in Texas, hl one town, where he was
billed to play '1ngomar," the costumes
were delayed by Il railway accident.
The manager was equal to the situa-
ton, however. He went to every
butchers shop in town and hired all
the sheep and COW hides he could to
dress up his supers. When McCul-
Tough came on the stage that night he
fell back appalled, by the stencil Of the
hastily improvised clothing worn by
the barbarians.
"What do you think Of them?" the
elder Sothern la%ughingly asked Nc
Cullough, pointing to the supers as the
curtain rolled down.
"They neither act like, look like nor
talk like barbarians," CURLY growled
the tragedian. "but. by the gods, they
smell like them"

Her Disposition.

- S'SFOSSAtSUs
At the time Of the Cherry creek
flood, which played havoc with the
then struggling village of Denver,
upon the outskirts of the settlement
lived in a cabin an old character
known as Beaver Bill and his wife.
The freshet carried away everything,
save Bill himself, upon the premises,
including his spouse. The loss Of her
seemed to impress Beaver Bill less
than the loss of other things, but a
volunteer party worked v%aliantly to
find her for him.
At last, wet and weary, they must
fain report to him failure.
"Where'd We search?" he demanded.
"All the way downstream for two
miles, Bill" they asserted.
"Oh, rats" he drawled disguised.

Splendid with sea born purple tinge.
