That brought Patrick's air castles tumbling about
his ears and he went forth from Caseys in deep
detection.
The next day was a hard for Patrick. and
he carried a sore heart with him his trips up

Hicks, story.


It was II 1s47 that Hicks 6fst made.
q county name as q witty raconteur.
In that year Sir Samuel Spry, who had
been member for Bodmin since the
great reform bill, lost his seat and In
9 petulant mood took legal proceedings
against Hicks on the ground that he
had abused his official position to in
fuence voters at the poll. In the
course Of the trial Hicks was called
upon to state what he had to say in
his defense. In the course Of his state
ment he asked leave Of the court to
illustrate his position by a story. His
request being assented to, he related
how a: few days previously he had
been to see lad whom he knew well
who was laid up from fall from a
vicious donkey, which had kicked out
all his front teeth. The lad, said
Hicks, had taken the matter in the
most kindly way and had said to him,
" 'Tisn't the fall, Mr.. Hicks, and 'tisn't
the vally Of the teeth what annoys
me, but tits the nashty, CHASTITY,
wishous disposition Of the jackass.''
Sir Samuel Spry sprang up in the
we'll of the court in fury and ex-
claimed, Gle has called me jack
asst" The court was convulsed with
laughter, and Hicks was promptly and
fully acquitted Of the trumpery charge
brought against him.-Cornhill Maya

Little Falls was greatly honored

Little Falls was greatly honored
this week in being host to representa-
tlves of one of the greatest fraternal
orders of the country. The gentle
manly bearing of the delegates their
representative character, and the
deserved high standing they have in
their home communities, made them
worthy OF the best reception Little
Falls could give. And the city gave
the best that was in it. The uniting
together of all IN the successful effort
to make the stay of the visitors
pleasant, was q fine th:ng to see, and
was q revelation of the real Little
Falls. We are glad the visitors came.
They say that Little Falls pleased
them, that never before were they so
splendldly received. and certainly
Little Falls was pleased with them.

gestures Part Of Talk.

There is man who from a very
early age has lived in countries where
Spanish is the almost universal tongue.
From force Of this training he speaks
Spanish perfectly. He has not the
slightest trace of an English accent,
and persons who do not know that he
is Of American parentage are willing
to believe he is a Spaniard, merely
from hearing him talk. He is so per-
fectly bilingual that it shows even in
his gestures. When talking with Eng
fish speaking persons he sits quietly
and does his conversing with his mouth
alone. Only in case Of making a point
most emphatically does he use ges-
ture. But the moment he drops into
Spanish his every word is accompa-
MED by a movement Of the hands or
arms. It is interesting to watch the
change from the English to the Span
ish side Of him, because it comes so
suddenly. He really can't speak Span
ish without gesturing.-New York Sun.

Public and Private Duties.

Generally we are under the impress
sion that mans duties are public,
and a woman's private. But this is
not altogether so. A man has per-
sonal work or duty relating to his own
home, and a public work or duty
which is the expansion Of the other
relating to the state. So woman
has personal work and duty relating
to her own home, and a public work
and duty which is also the expansion
of that.-John Ruskin.

fade from sight in the approaching
dusk, the bull-pup rushes madly down

he overtakes in the very vitals OF your

When the pow.wow has subsidized,

must water the young seeds copiously,
and you do.
After two weeks of waiting, you dig

rotted from too much water, and cold
