ldfrgraceful position by neglecting It's

who did SO much to assert the prowess
Of the American navy.

Including architects fee and all other
lex .enses connected herewith. The
amount seems reasonable TO all who
have compared the proposed tomb
with the memorials which other ma
lions have erected to military and

fused to be reimbursed by the govern

appropriation for the crypt. III Con-

An Essay on Boyhood,

The green corn season is about end
ed. Corn was good this year. But do
you remember when you had to eat
corn from the cob and you had loose
tooth in front?
1t put you in a terrible position Any
other fellow could finish cob of corn
In three minutes. You couldn't do it
In less than ten, because you had to
save that tooth. 1t was thing to
show to the other kids. Don't you re-
member?
If 1t came out in the corn you'd have
to leave rank of grains all around
the cob to mark its missing place.
oh, that tooth! If it came out you
could no longer gather the other fel-
lows around you and wiggle it and
make them jealous. But it couldn't
last forever. You were told that if
you kept your tongue out of the hole a
gold tooth would grow there. Could
you? You couldn't. And you couldn't
eat corn as well as you used to. All
you could do was to be glad that you
didn't lose all your upper teeth at
once. You couldn't have eaten a bite
of corn that way. Nature is kind
kinder than we think.-Cleveland Lead

Convict Road Builders.

The advantages OF prison labor for
road building are recognized by engt-
neers and others interested in the
crusade for good roads and the use Of
convicts for this work is gradually
extending and is being considered In
many localities. There rs general
objection to the use Of convtcts on
roads, due to the aversion OF having
them in the neighborhood OF settled
districts, but II has been observed
that where they are so employed this
feeling OF distrust soon wears away.
There are two decided advantages in
making use OF convict labor on high
way construction. The first of these
is that q large number OF men are I'M
prisoned for short terms, and 1t Is I'M
practicable TO teach them any trade
during such q brief period, even in
those States where trades are taught
in the penitentiaries. 1t Is much bet
ter TO keep these men in active, useful
work than in idleness or engaged on
mental tasks, which are manifesny
set merely to keep them busy. The
second advantage Of convict labor OF
this sort Ia that roads can be OBJ
tained In this way at low cost,
which Otherwise would not be con-
structed for some years.

"Comic Concert" Game,

Every one in the company chooses
an imaginary musical instrument. One
may be a violin, another a piano, a
harp, and so on. The leader of the
band also chooses one, say the flute
He begins to play this imaginary in
strument. running his fingers up and
down it and footing away in represen-
tation of the real instrument. AS soon
as he begins the other players must
follow suit. The piano player begins
to strum an imaginary piano, the vio-
lin player to WELD his bow, and so on.
Not only must the players initiate the
actions, but also the sounds which pro-
ceed from the various instruments.
During the concert the leader will
suddenly cease playing his flute and
commence playing the violin, when the
violin player must take up the leaders
discarded flute playing. Presently the
leader will change again. Any player
who fails to take up the leaders, in
strument must take the leaders place
and likewise pay forfeit.

Fairies In Kaffir Land.

There are fairies of all kinds in Kaf-
fir Land-so at least you would be told
by the merry little children whose
dark skins CLEAN like satin as they
romp and play in the sun. When the
long happy day is over and dusk comes
on they gather around the open fire in
a wide circle, and some old woman Of
the tribe stands up and tells them
weird stories Of elves and goblins, or
grim inzimus, or ogres, who do most
dreadful things to boys and girls who
come under their spellsy Fortunately,
however, there is always some good
genius at hand in the shape of ''rab-
bit prince" or fairy bird" to come to
the rescue, and monster serpents have
most encouraging way Of turning
into noble kings with gorgeous palaces.

AN UNAPPRECIATED
INTERRUPTION.
Candid Delinquent at a Revival
StartIeS the Congregation.

Mark Tully tells that one time he
was in town in central Kansas where
protracted revival meeting was GO
ing on. One of the residents of the
town was named Toby. He was a tall,
gaunt man with long whiskers. He
was very fond Of whisky, of which he
frequently imbibed beyond his limit
This man was attending one of the
meetings, and the revivalist was busy
scoring every form Of Vice and calling
down drastic condemnation upon them
"Woe to the drunkard! Woe to the
drunkard! Woe to the drunkardw he
shouted in doleful tunes.
Old Toby got on his feet and
tugged at his whiskers, and the fact
that he suffered only made his inter
ruption more marked: "G-g-g-guess

The preacher went on: "Woe to the
liars! Woe to the liars! Woe to the
thieves! Woe to the thievesv' His
voice was dolorous and sepulchral.

motioned around the room, swinging
and pointing with his arms and fingers.
