The story of the monkey that
was discovered in the bed of a
visitor at the Waldorf a few
nights ago struck a responsive
chord in the recollection of an
Ohio man who once came to
New York for a week of rest
and recreation.
The day he landed he got in
to a poker game and for seven
days he stuck at it, tins games
being punctuated as many po
ker games are. On the last day
he started in to play at three
o'clock in the afternoon. lie
quit at 11:20 cleaned out.
Going upstairs in his hotel
and opening the door, he no
ticed his valise sitting on the
floor and decided he would get
a clean handkerchief out of it
and sit down and think it over.
As he stooped over his glance
fell upon the bed. From the
spot where li is spot might have
been two beady green eyes in a
hairy little face gleamed at
him.
According to tlio Ohioan's
account ho made not a single
exclamation. He simply closed
the valise, turned out the gas
and shut the door from the out
side. He went downstairs,
took two or three turns about
the lobby, gave it up, called for
a cab and spent the night driv
ing about, first to one place and
then to another. Daylight found
him still going about, and he
did not revisit the hotel until
late in the afternoon, when he
went up to the room clerk to
apologize.
While standing there he
heard somebody say, "Well,
they found that monkey after
all."
"Good Lord, 1 am saved,"
shouted the Ohio man, to the
astonishment of the clerk,
"Then it was a monkey after
all, and there is no need of my
swearing off." New York Examiner.
Beat the drums of memory
In a low and lulling key,
Till my feet go marching on
Through the twilight and the dawn,
Backward through the paths of lime
Into that enchained clime
Where the blossoms never fade,
Where the sunshine and the shade
Dance in dapples on ihe grass
Of the orchard that I pass.
Beat the drums of memory
Till they thrill the soul of me,
Into long forgotien whiles.
And 1 foot the hazy miles
Find the meadow and the brook
And ihe vine hid foresi nook,
Till the world that was of old
World aglow wiih rose and gold
Lures me with hopes, forsooth,
As it did when 1 had youth.
Beat ihe drums of memory
Let ihe roll a rally be !
Call the boys I used to know
In the wondrous long ago
Call them all from field and foam,
Till again we are at home
Let us boast, and do, and dare,
Having neither fret nor care;
Let us laugh at the far page
Where is told the tale of age.
Beat ihe drums of memory
Till the old song comes to me
Till 1 murmur faded lunes,
Hum contented olden croons,
And ihe boy days all are mine;
Till my vines pulse wiih ihe wine
Of the days that were, made new
As 1 find my pathway through
All ihe veer calling ways
Of the living yesierdays.

MARK TWAIN'S FIRST EARN
INGS. A friend of Mark Twain once
asked if he remembered the first
money he earned.
"Yes," be said; "it was at
school, and a very painful rec
ollection it is, too. There was
a rule in our school that any
boy marking his desk, either
with pencil or knife, would be
chastised publicly before the
whole school or pay a fine of
$5. Besides the rulo there was
a ruler; I knew it because 1 had
felt it; it was a darned hard
one, too.
"One day I had to tell my
father that I had broken the
rule, and had to pay a fino or
take a public whipping, and lie
said:
''Sam, it would be too bad to
have the name of Clemens dis
graced before the whole school
so I'll pay the fine. But I don't
want you to lose anything, so
come upstairs.'
"A few minutes later I came
down with a bad feeling and
the $.', and I decided that as I
had been punished once, and
got used to il, 1 would not mind
getting the other licking at
school. So I did and kept Ihe
$5. London Tit-Bits.

BETTER AS YOU GO,
Make the world a little belter as you go;
And be thoughtful of ihe kind of seed you sow;
Try to make some pathway bright
As you strive to do the right,
Making ihe world a liitle beiier as you go.
Make the world a little betier as you go;
You may help to soothe some fellow-creaiure's woe;
You can make some burden light,
As you try with all your might
To make ihe world a little betier as you go.
Make the world a little belter as you go;
As you meet your brother going to and fro,
You may lend a Friendly hand,
Lift the fallen! Help them siand,
Making the world a little better as you go. -
JUST MADE FOR YOU.
Oh, little girl with the yellow curl,
Oh, little girl with the eyes of blue,
The world was made for a little girl,
And all of the sunshine was made for you;
And all of the trees with their low-hung boughs,
And all of the birds and the songs they sing,
And all of the fields where the winds carouse
They were made for you all everything !
And when you are sleepy the purple night
Is made for you, with its twinkling stars;
And when you would wake comes i he morning light,
And sunshine lying in yellow bars
Across the floor and across your bed,
And the sky is clear and is cobalt blue,
And all of it, oh, my touslehead,
The sky and the sun and the world's for you.
Father and Mother were made for you,
As much as your doll and your Teddy-bear
Oh, little baby with eyes of blue!
Oh, li t tie baby with tousled hair !
And the wind brings perfume of meadow sweet,
And the live-oak bows bend down and away,
They wait till you've mastered your dancing feet,
They're longing for you to come out and play.
NEVER DREW AN INFERENCE.
Coachman, However, Thought
the Morses Could Draw One If
The Traces Held.
A young gentleman who had
delivered a discourse in the place
of an aged broiher minister re
quested the opinion of the latter
respecting it.
"Oh," said he, plainly, "many
of the words you used were be
yond the comprehension of your
hearers. Thus, for instance, the
word 'inference' perhaps not half
of my parishioners undersiand its
meaning."
"Inference, inference!" exclaim
ed ihe other. "Why, everyone
must understand. that."
"1 think you will find it not so.
There's my clerk, now. He prides
himself upon his learning, and, in
truth, is very intelligent. We will
try him. Zachariah, come hither.
Zachariah, my brother here wishes
you to draw an inference; can you
do ii?"
"Why, I am pretty strong, but
John the coachman, is stronger
than 1. I'll ask him:"
Zachariah went out for a few
moments to look afier the coach
man, and returned.
"John says he never tried to
draw an inference, sir; but he
reckons his horses can draw any
thing that die traces will hold!"
Puck.
BOYS.
Boys are the stuff out of which
men are made. If the church
wins the boy, it has won the
man.
Every boy has goodness in
him. What he needs is a friend
to help him locate and develop
his goodness.
Servico is essential to salva
tion. A work for every boy and
every boy at work is a good
slogan.
Boyless churches need the
churchless boys, (let together.
A boy is influenced more by
example than by precept.
Make it hard for a boy to do
wrong, and easy for him to do
right.
What shall it profit a church
if it gaiti an abundance of
wealth, social prestige and ma
terial equipment, and yet lose
its own boys ? John Wesley
Gibson.
