How to Stick Stamps.

"Say." remarked the postoffice clerk
who was off duty as he watched a
friend af1ix two stamps to the corner
of an envelope, "why don't you put
those stamps on horizontally instead
of vertically? Don't you know you
would save a lot Of work for us stamp
ers If you put your stamps beside each
other instead of under each other? We
always have to make two strokes when
canceling vertically pasted stamps by
hand, and they don't work well through
the stamping machines either"
"Is that SOP inquired his friend as
he took another envelope and proceed
ed to affix two stamps to it In a YER
tical position. '"Then, by the great
horn spoon, why doesn't the govern
ment sell its stamps in horizontal
lines? Look at these. Here l bought
20 cents worth Of two cent stamps.
and they come to me in vertical lines.
If buy five twos, get them attached
one to the bottom Of the other. Do
you think I'm going to the trouble OF
tearing each stamp of just to please a
government clerk by pasting them side
by side? Guess again. New York

JUST A BOY:

Do you love, little boy, when the days
are warm and fair
To play ball with your playmates in
the fresh and balmy air?
And when loud rings the bell, to
your lessons you return,
For though your life is happy, all
your pleasures you mus earn.
Hello! little boy. Are you off to
school today?
Won't you chat with me a moment
as you tarry on your way?
Won't you tell of the joy of frolic
in the sun,
Or playing marbles on the walk for
keeps or just for fun?
Do you know, little boy, that the
men of histor say
That the greatest men hav risen from
just where you are today?
And though long be the way and
the lessons hard to learn
A little progress every day will bring
a good return.
And now, little boy, you must hast
en- on your way
To grasp each flying moment and
use it while you may.
And when your work is ended and
you've tasted every joy,
You'll find the greatest of them all
is being just boy.

A MARKET IN MOROCCO.
The Best Place to Study tho Ways Of

oSS. Ss~SJ
tho Willy Natives.
The place of all places to see the
Moorish people is at their markets, for
every class and kind of them is there,
and when you have seen one market
you have seen them all, for there is
racial similarity in the Moors the world
over.
The first thing about Moorish mar
ket that attracts the attention of q
traveller is the farreaching odor or.
rather, the multiplicity Of odors, for
there Is a composite character about
the smell of Moorish market that can
! not be equaled anywhere outside Of
China. Before you can even hear the
continual wrangle and jangle Of the
market place you can smell it.
Once there the interminable tumble
Of things and folks is disconcerting.
and the evidence of dirt everywhere
takes from an American all desire to
deal in eatables, for the MoOrs seem to
be wholly insensible to dirt Of any
kind and every kind and have no objec-
| ton to fruit and berries that have come
In unprotected over miles of dusty and
sandy roads.
These people are natural traders, Sec
ond to none in their ability to obtain
the highest possible price or equally
ready willingness to let the article 60
for a mere pittance rather than miss
( making sale.
They will begin the price of lamp
at 8 shillings and after little haggling
will come down to shilling, but If you
move on they will thrust the lamp into
your hand and ask you to give them
anything for it that you will, and it is
sale, no difference how small may be
your offer.
In nearly all countries the every
where present and always the same
donkey is an inevitable adjunct Of a
Moorish market. The whole animal
kingdom would be searched through in
vain to find any creature more wholly
devoid of impulse and sentiment than
this imposed upon little beast.
| Like fatalist philosopher, he is
wholly resigned to the order Of things,
and nothing can cause him to stir from
the even tenor of his ways. Caressing
and even food do not seem to add any
to his satisfaction, and beating and
abuse do not detract from his tranquil
lity. His features are perfectly immo-
bile.
AS he stands in the market place one
may pet him and give him bits of grass
or fruit and he will not raise his head
or even open his eyes. He is the SUI
! preme, ineffable resignation in flesh
and blood. And no Moorish market is
complete without him by the score

THE MANDAN INDIANS RETURN.

I'm returning to the village
Where MY fathers used to dwell;
By Missouris turbia waters ...s
For know the place so well;
l can the village tepees
Looming up, upon the shelf,
Ger the diamond willows, growing
On the fiat, near Heart itself.
I can see the Treasure Island
Where the Little Heart flows in
There the white mems boat was foundered
And the Sioux set up din.
Adding scalplocks to their treasure -
Of the trophies CT their war
'Gainst the whites, where'er they met them
Seeking for them near and far.
l can hear the herd of bison
AS they swim with lurch and lunge
Going cross the swelling river;
I can hear them as they plunge
| can hear the coyotes bowling;
can hear the bob-cat squall;
l can hear the voice of nature,
Purr- and bark and howl and ALL
I can the deer now browsing
All along the river trees;
See the antelopes go bouncing
Through the coulees with such ease
can see the working women
Clear the tepees of the trim
OF the game the braves brought in there;
See them working with vim.
see the camp fires burning
With the braves all sitting round
Telling of each strange adventure
Showing where the game found;
Hear them tell the old traditions
OF the of rising
Where the race had peace and plenty,
Where the island race was run.
Say, where am 1? Someone tell mel
is the Mandan village near?
For, if at all remember,
1t was, surely, just right here.
But do not the village
And do not see the game;
Tell mel tell me! am I dreaming?
For it does not the same.
What is that across the river?
City? Homes where white live?
Did they buy Mandan village?
No?-what proof have you to give?
Are they not the foes of red men?
Someone answer that, pray!
Friends? Where is Mandan nation?
Scourge has swept the race away!

for intelligence those rural ladies COM
pare favorably with the ladies in a
similar club in Seattle in it's very
best residence district. The idea that
people on these irrigated farms live
the lives of hermits is delusion for
which there is no foundation what
ever.
Should it be supposed that I am de-
scribing a condition here that arose
long after the settlement of those
lands, l would say that I bought land
under the Sunnyside canal before the
water was turned into it and, hence,
have known the conditions there from
the beginning. When | went there
the country was a dreary waste of
sage brush. But sage brush can be
easily removed and the land can be
plowed with two horses as there is
no sod. The first year as good crops
can be raised as at any other time.
The people focked in and bought
small tracts of ten, twenty and forty
acres and in three years the face of
the whole country was changed and
very much resembled the suburbs of
a city. Now we drive miles and miles

sides.
If any one is disposed to ask why
| call this Connecticut mans doleful
picture funny, my answer is that the
people living in these lovely homes
will make merry over such foolish pic
lures. Will such representation do
any harm? Not much, if any. People
are pouring into this country by the
thousands and are influenced by what
they see. If any one has doubts we
say, Come and see." l am not a
