She graa a Httle nervous over the tempo rary promotion and was anxious that everything should go off In the usual rd order. While Instructing the claea composition she said: "Now, chil dren, don't attempt any flights of fan cy. Don't try to Imitate the thiuga you bave heard, but Just be yourselves and write what la really In you." Aa a result of thla advice oue little boy turned In the following composi tion: -- — "I ain't goln' to attempt no flite of fancy; I'm Just goln' to write wbat'a In me. and I got a hart, u liver, two lungs and some other things like that; then I got a stummick, and It's got In it a pickle, a piece of pie, two sticks of pep permint candy and my dinner." Woman's Reasons, Women have more of what la termed good sense than men. They cannot reason wrong, for they do not reaaon at all.

The Weed and the Man. Uougb used to describe the struggle* of a man who tried to leave off using tobacco. He threw away what he had and aald that was the end of It; but, no, It was only tbe beginning of It. Ho .would chew camomile, gentian, tooth picks, but It waa of no nee. He bought another plug of tobacco and put It ID hi* pocket, tie wanted a chew awfully, but be looked at It and said: "You are a weed, and I am a man. I'll master you If 1 die for It."

A farmer In Kentucky sought advice from n veterinary about a sick mule. The doctor advlaed calomel, five times the dose for a may. "How can I make him take it?" "You put a stick of wood three-quar ters of an Inch thick between bis teeth, and then you take this rubber tube, put the colouiel In It, Insert in the mule's month, which Is held open by the piece of wood, und blow the medi cine down bis throat." "That's easy enough," «all the farmer. Throe weeks Inter the doctor met the farmer, who had changed greatly. He wan emaciated, hummed, ghastly and bundled in heavy wrappings. "Why, what's the matter?" said the doctor. The farmer sighed deeply aud spoke feebly.

Hayes while president nud visiting his home In Ohio passed the farm of « neighbor who was plnnt- Ing polntoes In n patch near the road. The president, being somewhat of a farmer himself, noticed some peculiar Ity In his neighbor's slfle of planting, and after a few minutes' chat he called ntteutlou to It, and the old man nrgued the point awhile. "After all," concluded the presidents "1 don't think you are doing It as It* should be done for the best results." The old farmer rested his arm ou the fence sud looked steadily at Mr. Hayes. "They ain't neither one of us," he said, "above bavin' fault found with us, but ef you just go ou |»resldentin' the I'lilted States your way nu' I go ou plantln' potatoes my way I guess we won't be no wuss off." Lov* and Business. In I7l»7 M. Peter t'aesar Labouetaere, then a clerk In the banking house uf Hope &. Co., Amsterdam, was sent by his patrons to Mr. Hariug, the l.ondou banker, to negotiate a loan. He dis played In the affair so much ability as to win the esteem and confidence of the great English financier. "Faith," said Labouchere one day to Harlng, "your daughter Is a charming creature. I wl*h I could persuade you to give me her hsnd." "Young man, yon are Joking, for, se riously, yoti must allow that Miss Har iug could never l>ecoiue the wife of n simple clerk." "Rut," said I,abouchere, "If I were in partnership with Mr. Hope?" "Oh, that would be i|Ulte a different thing. That would entirely make up for all other deficiencies." Returned to Amsterdum, Labouchero said to Ida patron, "You must take uie Into partnership." "My young frleud, how cau you think of such a thing? It U impossible. You are without fortune, nud"— "Hut If 1 became the son in-law of Mr. Harlng?" "In that case the affair would be soon settled, and so you have my word." Fortllied with these two promises, M. Labouchore returned to England and In two months after married Miss llarlug and became a partner In the house of Hope & Co. Henry I.nbou chero, editor of Loudon Truth, Is hie graudaou.
