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.

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.'

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.
