They Knew Ma.

The train had stopped for a few minutes at a station out on the plains, and two or shree barefooted little boys and girls had their backs agoinet the depot and their fin- gers in their mouths, while they stared at the pas<en cers.

Suddenly a boy of about 10 years dashed round a corner of the staticn and called to his brother and sister:

‘You, Joey! Ma says if youand Maggie don’t come right straight home she'll— she’ll— well, I forgit what, but she'll do it, sure, for rou know what ma is when she gits started. So you'd better git home straight off.”’

Joey and Maggie evidentiy knew what ma was when she ‘‘got started,’’ for théy started homeward as fast as their bare lit- tle feet would carry them.-——-Youth’s Com- panion.

The Key of Sheridan’s Success,

General Horace Porter, in his ‘‘Cam- paigning With Grant,’’ in The Century, says, after describing the battle of Five Forks:

Sheridan had that day fought one of the most interesting tactical battles of the war, admirable in conception, bril- liant in execution, strikingly dramatic in its incidents and productive of ex- tremely important results.

I said to him, ‘‘It seems to me that you have exposed yourself today in a manner hardly justifiable on the part of a commander of such an important movement.’’ His reply gave what seems to be the true key to his uniform suc- cess on the field, ‘‘I have never in my life taken a command into battle and had the slightest desire to come out alive unless I won.’’

Facing the Music.

The spirit of this simile is used by John Bunyan ia the meditaticn ‘‘Of the Horse and Drum,”’ in his ‘‘Book Four Boys and Girls; or, Country Rhymes For Children,’’ published in 1686. Of the genuine Christian he says, inter alia:

Let Crummers beat the charge or what they

will, Ther’li nose them, face them, keep their places still.

A HEN AND A KITTEN,

The Story vf a Singularly Remarkable Family Connection,

During my residence on our Burlington county farm I had the rare opportunity of making the following interesting cbserva- tion:

One of our barnyard fowls had been laying her daily egg in an unused man- ger, which she had evidently selected as a hatching place, and she was now ready to begin the ordained three weeks’ labor of ‘“‘sitting.’’ At the same time the barn cat

had found the manger very inviting for } hours of repose, and it thus happened that Tabby and old Cluck had become friends and agreed to occupy the manger

in joint possession.

Things went along smoothly in this unique but happy family for several days, during which the hen faithfully plucked her breast, feathered her nest and no doubt believed that she was hatching, while in truth she was sitting on stale

nest eggs, from which all the warmth cf hendom could never bring a chick. Still she sat, plucked her breast and

turned her eggs, while pussy came and went at will, spending at least half her time with the hen and in asclose proximi- ty as if they had been sister cats. But the three weeks’ hatching process was destined to be very much shortened.

It was, in fact, nearer three days than three weeks when the hen awoke one morning to find the nest filled with young. Young what? Perhaps she thought that they were chickens, but if she was wise enough to know the truth she was not honest enough to acknowledge it, for she innocently assumed that they were chickens and her own offspring, whereas they were pussy’s kittens.

The cat and the hen, however, seemed to remember their compact. They were friends, notwithstanding the advent of children, the maternity of which was equally claimed by the biped and the quadtuped. Nay, their bond of friendship seemed to be strengthened by the union of their efforts to give the little ones a proper bringing up.

Inexorable fate, however, decreed that the poor little kittens should have no nat- ural mother. About the time that it was possible for them to live without her an accident caused the death of the old cat, and a home was found for all but one. To that one the hen devoted her undivided attention for the whole summer, and so assiduously that the kitten must surely have believed the hen to be her true and natural mother.

The hen going about between the house and barn *clucking for the kitten was indeed a funny sight and attracted very general attention, and it was equally re- markable to sec the kitten run to her when she made a peculiar call that chickens so well understand means something to eat. At night and during the resting hours of the day kittie would crawl under the warm wings of her foster mother, and the brooding hen and her nestling kitten were happy and contented, little dreaming that they were so far from being related to each other.—Our Animal Friends.

AN EXPERT DRAFTSMAN,

How I’ “vcceeds In Drawing Half Dollars lbrom Charitable Pockets.

**Sir,’’ said the well dressed man with the pale face, ‘‘I am an expert draftsman out of work. My tools are held at the ho- tel where I lodged last night. I need 50 cents to get them out, and I have been promised werk torrorrow, Lut I can’t work without my tools. Will you aasist me?"’

The man about town dug into his rest pocket, fished out a quarter and handed it to the draftsman.

‘This is the best I can do,’’ he said.

‘*T am sorry,’’ said the unfortunate, re- turning the silver piece, ‘‘and Lam obliged for your good intention, but that amount will not do me any good at all. I owe the hotel man half a collar.”’

‘“‘Why,’’ said the man about town, “lemme see. Maybe I've got another quarter. Yes, here it is.’’ And he pro- cuced a half.

With muttered thanks the draftsman walked away.

*“*That’s the last you will see of him,’’ said an amused friend. ‘‘I’ve been work-

ed. That same fellow told me his hard

Yock story day before yesterday. I know ahalf dozen men who have been victim- ized. There are five in the gang, and they work in the down town districts, mainly about Adams and Dearborn streets. I didn’t interfere because it is a new dodge, and I wanted to see how it would go with you.”’

The man about town credited his lost 50 cents to the sum total of experience.— Chicago Chronicle,

TWO PICTURES.

One Rich, Bright and Cheerful; the Other Gloomy, Dark and Muddy,

Forty five samples of colored cloth are shown on the Diamond Dye sample card, from which can be produced over one Lun dred good, solid colors. Every dyed sam- ple is full, rich, brilliant and fast, showing just what avy woman of ordinary intelli- gence can do with Diamond Dyes. This ig picture number one.

The common imitation dyes, and dyes composed of soap grease as a principal in- gredient, show but a dozen or fifteen colors and so imperfect in color tone and power that the small collection leoks gloomy, despondent and sickly toany individual witha taste for the beautiful. ‘his is picture number two.

To those in doubt we eay, send your ad- dress to Wells & Ricardson Co., Montreal, for a color card of Diamond Dyes; it will be sent free.

The Diamond Dyes being the easiest to dye with give all the grand results in beauty and fastness of color that the heart can possibly desire.

Too Much,

‘‘In five minutes,’’ arnonneed the leader of the mob, ‘‘you will be hung. ”’

The victim shuddered. ‘‘No, no!’’ he cried. ‘‘Let me’’—

His voice rose to a shriek.

—'‘‘be hanged, but not—nct hunz!’’

He buried his face in his hands. Hardened criminal though he was, he had been born in Bostou.—New York Press.

Landlady (to shivering lodger)—No, sir. I don’t object to your dining ata restorong, nor to taking an ‘apenny pa- per, but I must resent your constant ’abit of locking up your whisky, there- by himplying that me, a clergyman’s daughter, is prone to larceny.—Punch.

FISH YARNS,

I¢ is as hard for some men to stop fish- ing as it is for others te stop drinking.— Atchison Globe.

Fishermen who take their baitin a jug may be induced to take out new rods, but

they will come back with the same old |

reeis.—New Orleans Picayune,

Things will have come te such a pass by and by that a man will have toshowa civil service certificate before he can tella fish story.—Forest and Stream.

The report that the state fisheries, game and forest commission planted 219,144,217 fishes last year sounds like a pretty big fish story, but wait until fishermen come in later and hear their stories. —Buffalo Newa

Left Prostrate

Weak and Run Down, With Heart and Kidneys in Bad Condition — Restored by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

“I was very much run down, having been sick for several months. I had been trying different remedies which did me no good. I would have severe spells of coughing that would leave me prostrate. Iwas toldthat my lungs were affected, and my heart and kidneys were in a bad condition. In fact, it seemed as though every organ was out of order. I felt that something must be done and my brother advised me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I procured a bottle and began taking it. Before it was half gone I felt that it was helping me. I continued its use and it has made me a new woman. I cannot praise it too highly.” Mrs. SuMMER- VILLE, 217 Ossington Avenue, Toronto, Ontario. Get only Hood’s, because
