AWAY OUT IN
Away out in the country
Where there is no clang and roar,
Where its eight miles to the railroad
And its three miles to the store,
There is peace and there is quiet;
Men are not contending there
For the powers that seem precious
To the greedy billionaire.
Away out in the country
Surly teamsters do not try
To run men down, unless they
Pass the crossing on the fly;
A schemer isn't waiting
Everywhere a man may look
To rush in and get his earnings
All away by hook or crook.
Away out in the country
Where the woods are full of joy,
And the hens are cackling loudly
At tho sunburned farmer boy,
There is never any crowding,
There is room out there to spare,
And the people aren't breathing
Flyin' rubbish with their air.
Away out in tho country
Where tho lilacs sweetly blow
People don't pay out a dollar
To behold a ten-cent show;
Men are not looked on with pity
Just because thoir clothes don't fit,
And the women don't go mourning
When the servants up and quit.
Away out in the country
Where, the water's cool and sweet,
And the knife's a useful weapon
When the hungry people eat,
There is not the constant jangle,
Nor mad clanging that subdues
And distructs the city poet
When he seeks to court tho muse,
Away out in the country
Where the funerals are few,
And the people keep apprised of
All the things their neighbors do.
Here and there some queer old fellow
May not hanker to put down
The tools the farmer has to use
And move away to town.

BE A GOOD BOY! GOOD-BY!
How oft in my dreams I go back to the day
When I stood at our old wooden gate
And started to school in full battle array,
Well armed with a primer and slate,
And as the latch fell 1 thought myself free
And gloried I fear, on the sly,
Till I heard a kind voice that whispered to me;
"Be a good boy! ( lood-by !"
"Be a good boy! Good-by!" It seeing
They have followed me all these years;
They have given a form to my youthful dreams
And scutUred my foolish fears;
They have Btaid my feet on many a brink,
Unseen by a blinded eye,
For just in time I would pause und think;
"Be a good boy! Uood-by!"
Oh, brother of mine, in the battle of life,
Just starting or nearing its close,
This motto aloft, in the midst of the strife,
Will conquer wherever it goes!
Mistakes you will make, for each of u errs,
But, brother, just honestly try
To accomplish your best. In whatever occurs
"Be a good boy! Uood-by!"
John L. Shroy in Saturday Evening Post.
AND THAT SETTLED IT.
A little negro girl, standing close lo s
Boston woman said:
"I ain't gwine."
"You should Dot say that," said the
Boston lady. "Listen: You should ssy
'I am Dot going. You are Dot going.
Ha is not going. They are not going'
Now what do you a)f"
The little pickaninny, whoa eyes bad
been getting wider and wider, replied.
"Dey ain't none of us gwine "

HOW A STORY GROWS.
Farmer Brown, Much Exasper
ated By The Loss of His Tur
nips, Determined to Prose
cute the Man.
A farmer once was told that bis tur
nip field had been robbed, and that the
robbery had been oommitted by a poor,
inoffensive man, of the name of Palmer,
who, many of the people of tho village
said, had taken away a wagon load of
turnips. Farmer Drown, much exasper
ated by the loss of his turnips, deter
mined to prosecute poor Palmer with all
the severity of the law. With this in
tention he went to Molly Sanders, the
washerwoman, who had been busy in
spreading the report, to know the whole
truth; but Molly denied having said any
thing about a wagon load of turnips. It
was but a cart load that Palmer had
taken, and Dame Hodson, the huckster,
had told her so, over aod again. The
farmer, bearing this, went to Dame Hod
son, who said that Molly Sanders waa al
ways making things worse than they
really were; that Palmer bad taken only
a wheelbarrow full of turnips, and that
she had her account from Jenkins, the
tailor. Away went the farmer to Jen
kins, the tailor, who stoutly denied the
account altogether; he had only told
Dame Hodson that Palmer had pulled up
several turnips, but bow many he could
not tell, for that he did not see him him
self, but wai told it by Tom Slack, the
plowman. Wondering where this would
end, Farmer Rrown next questioned
Tom Slack, who, in bis turn, declared be
had never said a word about setiog Pal
mer pull up several turnips; he only said,
he had heard say that Palmer had pulled
up a turnip, aod that Barnes, the barber,
was the person who had told him about
it. The farmer, almost out of patience
at this account, hurried off to Barnes,
the barber; who wondered much that peo
ple should find pleasure in spreading idle
tales which had no truth in them I He
assured the farmer that all he had said
about the matter, while he took off tho
beard of Tom Slack, was that for all he
knew, Palmer was as likely a man to
pull up a turnip as his neighbors,
LOVES HIS FAMILY.
John Phillip Sousa, who may be said
to have "marched" himself into the hearts
of the Ametican people, likewise all other
peoples who have had the good fortune
to keep time to his irrcsistable marches, is
a man food of bis family. Wherever he
goes he carries with him, as the most val
uable part of bis personal baggage, a
folding leather frame which holds the
clotures of bis wife and children. So
soon as he is put up at a hotel the man
tie, it mere tie one, or tue bureau is
adorned with this life-like reminder of
the ones dearest to him. Few photo
graphs have traveled so far and into so
many lands as these belonging to and

Once the parallel pathways of friend

The world's judgement is largely of
the pocket and of the stomach; the next
world's entirely of the heart aod of the

There is a telepathy between hearts
that are congenial; you soon get to know
the person from whom you would expect
sympathy as resdily as you would look
for warmth in a lemon ice or substance in

BED TIME.
Mothers, do you put the little ones to
bed in peace, or do they lie down in tears
and perplexities T Do they kneel beside
you with pleasure, and love to oome even
as they love your kiss? Don't scold
bedtime. It seems to me that if there
is one sob among the children's voices
thrown upon the ocean, whose waves are
said never to give up their trust, it ii th
sob that, bursting from the ileeping child
falls mournfully upon the darkness

HAVE FOUND A
SMUGGLERS' HOARD.
Illinois Men Unearth $7,000,000
On An Island Near Porto
Rico.
A smuggler's treasure of 17,000,000
hidden on a small island a couple of hun
dred iui'i' from Potto Hie i has been
liiund by I'hi'o Hemic and Abe Fogel
if He-lick, a 'itll ' c:iy in the stiu'hrro
pall of I iini.i-. Puting the civil war a
pa::y of lull a d z n u.ui!g;-.rs were en
gaged in thn slave trade between Porto
Rio uDd the lTni!ed State", As there
was cjn-iant danger of capture they
mtrged their weaNh, auiouotiog iu all to
about 17.000.000, and concealed io a
stone embankment on a small island 200
milts south of Porto Rieo. At the close
of the war they started for the island to
recover their bidden treasure, but the
elements interfered and they were
wrecked. There were but two survivors
and they returned to this country. While
at New Orleans one ol these died, and
the other, being financially unable to re
cover the money, kept his scra until
justbelcre bis death, wuen be revealed
it lo his kinsman, Reude,
Just recently thela'ter confided in his
friend Foale, and together they organized
the Porto Riean Prospecting company.
Several prominent citizens of Slielbytille,
III , look stock in (he company and were
greatly rejoiced to get this message dated
at Porto Rico:
"Amount all 0. K. Reude."
This message is taken to indicate that
they had found the tiea-uie and wele in
possession o' it.
THOUGHTS FOR EVERYBODY.
It is the small leaks that impoverish a
household. It is the small economies
that lead to affluence.
Work today, for you know not bow
much you may be hindered tomorrow.
Recreation is not idleness, but ease to
the weary by change of occupation.
If you wish to be as happy as a king
look at those who haven't as much as
you, not at those who have more.
It bas been well said that no person
ever sank under the burden of the day.
It is when tomorrow's burden is added to
the burden of to-day that the weight is
more than can be borne.
By holding a very little misery quite
close to our eyes we entirely lose sight of
a great deal of comfort beyond which
might be taken.
most ot the shadows tbat cross our
path through life are crossed by standing
in our light.
