CAPTURED A YANKEE.
Night had settled down over the woods and
fields of northwestern Louisiana; summer
night, with a murmuring wind. abroad in the
pine tops and with multitudes of owls having
a kind of Walpurgis entertainment down in
the bottom. There were no lights in the great,
rambling log farm house. The family sat in
the open gallery until what they called “good
dark,” and then went unostentatiously to bed,
as became people who were astir before day
every morning.
“Old man Boone,” the head of the house-
hold, had been excused from service because
the Confederacy had no great need of so
many pounds avoirdupois in any one indi-
vidual. For the first time in his life this
worthy gentleman had cause to bless his pen-
dercsity, which saved him from hardships
and dangers innumerable. Concluding, like
Falstaff, that the better part of valor was
discretion, he remained valiantly at home,
sitting most of the time in a capacious arm
chair, and thus added more pounds to his
weight and more objections to his availability
as a soldier.
Jim and John, the boys, were at home—
one of them on furlbugh and the other on
sick leave. They had been silent for along
time, and the old man had begun to exprem
histhoughts in various inarticulate sounds,
apparently proceeding from the remote
depths of his head. when suddenly he started
up exclaiming:
“Well, them owls does out hoot creation to-
night.”
The three listened silently. Wild hoots, in
all degrees of sarcastic emphasis, varied with
frequent bursts of fiendish laughter, were
making night musical. The woods seemed to
be alive with their wicked mirth, and to re
sound with screams, and shouts, and cries of
rage and pain. .
“Worse’n a camp meetin',” finally assented
Jim, whose religious education had been neg-
lected.
“Ever hear a owl with sick 0. voice as
that?” queried the old man. “If that owl
could be ketched, it could be learned to talk. ”
One voice had separated itself from the
others, and was certainly giving vent to
some very unowlish shouts, but they followed
so rapidly on one another and were so con—
fumd and intermingled by the thousand
echoes sent back from the adjacent hills that
for several minutes the listeners remained
under the impression that they were listening
to the solo performance of some talented owl.
At last, however, the grand orchestra down
in the bottom was silent for a. moment, and
out from the woods, away over the ridge,
came a wild, prolonged shout:
“Hallo-o—ol"
“Somebody, by Ned!” exclaimed the old
man, growing pale in the dim light.
“Must be somebody lost,” said Jim. “Make
a torch, John, and less go’n see.”
“I say go‘n see!” ejaculated the old man,
nervously. “Bushwhackers, I bet.”
“Come, father,” said John. the practical,
bringing out two bundles of fat pine splinters.
“You reckon bushwhackers are a goin’
through the country yellin’ for all that’s out,
like that fellow? They’d be pretty fools if
they did. "
“VVha—what you goin’ to do, boys?" asked
the old man tremblingly. He was not afraid,
he was only nervous, and he always shook
when he was nervous.
“Goiu’ up the road with the torches, father,
and shout to that feller till he’ll know where
to come, if he is lost.”
The old man stood thinking, with his hands
in his pockets. If he remained there, the
bushwhackers might surround the house and
kill him while Jim and John were gone. No
doubt this was a lure to draw all the men
away from the house.
“I guem I’ll go with you, boys,” he said in
agonized tones, dragged hither and thither by
his sense of duty and his fear of consequences.
They won’t be so likely to attack us if they
see me.”
“No,” said Jim, soberly, “they’ll think it’s
a regiment o’ infantry.”
With which pleasantry the three set out,
Jim and John carrying the great flaming
pine torches, and the old man waddling
along in the rear with his usual elephantine
motion. The torches cast weird shadows up
and down the road, dancing and dodging as
the boys moved and the wind fanned the
flame. Every moment the old man‘s eyes
grew more prominent, and his breath came
more quickly. He was certain that every
great tree by the roadside was an ambush
from which they would be fired on when they
came into convenient range. He mentally
pictured the surprise of the neighbors when
somebody should come upon the three dead
bodies the next day, and wondered gioomily
what they would do for asuit in which to
bury him And under the influence of these
pleasant reflections his knees smote together
as he walked.
Suddenly a new thought struck him with
the force of a thunderbolt. Jim and John
were holding the torches high above their
heads, and were shouting with all the strong: ll
of two very vigorous pairs of lungs, but while
they walked in the shadow, beneath the
torches, the old man got the full glare of the
light upon his portly figure, as though this
were an illumination or torchlight procession
gotten up for his exclusive benefit. What a
target was presented by that extensive form.
Pallid and shaking, he came to a halt.
“Boys!” said he, faintly. “Boys!“
The vociferous duct suddenly stopped, and
the boys looked back at their father, who
was involuntarily drawing back into the
shadows
“Boys, I‘m kinder tired.
the road for as you want to
here till you come back."
They were gone before he was done talking.
Another moment and they were around :1
bend in the road, and he was alone in the
pitchy darkness.
“By Ned!” hemiu'mured, in astonished and
awe struck tones, trembling in every limb,
and almost falling to the ground from weak»
ness. He was able to distinguish nothing but
the dim whiteness of the sandy road, and a
huge pine tree that lifted its smooth, dark
trunk almost within reach of his hand. 0ch-
in the bottom, the owls had resumed their
grand Wagnerian concert, but nowhere, far
or near, could any shout be heard or:
ones that issued from the Illi'uflts of .11... ..: '

to wish that he had gone with the !:
Again the leaves stirred. and something
like a pallid face was thrust into his sight,
ginning from behind the great pine tree
el'ciful powers! Where were Jim and John?
The face was withdrawn, and for one swift
moment the trembling man began to hope
that he was mistaken. The next moment the
twigs were brushed aside. and out into the
road stepped a tall form, within two feet of
the miserable old man.
“Wha’—-wha’—wha’s matter? Who’re you ?"
he cried inarticulately, heartily wishing that
he were a woman, so that he could faint" cdm-
fortably away and have nothing further to
do with the affair.
“I’m a Yankee,” was the self possessed re-
ply.
“Keep ofl’l Keep off!" exclaimed the old
man, trying to back bodily through the
trunk of the pine, which, however, main-
tained its ground. “Keep off, I tell ye!
These woods is plum full of my boys. I
wasn’t in no notion of secession, no way. I
said the whole time I didn’t b’licve it was
right, ’cause we was plum shore to git whip~
35d.”
“0h, shut up,” was the impolite reply.
“I’ve tried to get away, but I’m lost and
hungry. I want you to arrest mo and send
me over to Mansfidld to join the other prison-
ers. Better be a prisoner than starve to
death in the woods. ”
These overtures, instead of having the de
sired effect, increased the old man’s alarm.
“Say, Mr. Yankee,” he said, pleadingly,
“I don‘t know what good it’ll do you to mur-
dera ole man like me. I ain’t never done
you no harm. I ain’t gota nig' ‘r to my
name, and I don’t want none—lyiu', thievin‘
rascals. There’s my boys 9. comin’ back
now. Don’t hurt none of us, mister. \Ve
ain’t never done nothin' to you.”
“Arrest me! Do you hear?” commanded
the stranger, threateningly. “Arrest me
and tell those men that you have arrested a
Yankee."
The tone of command and the gesture that
accompanied it were not to be resisted. As
Jim and John turned the bend in the road
the old man sung out in a quivering falsetto:
“Oh, boys, boys, come here quick; I’ve ar-
rested a Yankee.”
The boys came running, and were wild
eyed With astonishment at :beholding their
father with his trembling hand grasping the
collar of a stalwart young fellow in blue uni-
form.
“Why, how did it happen, father? Are
there any more of them?"
“There are two of us,” replied the stranger;
“but we got separated, yesterday. I was
shouting to try and call him, when you heard
me. I suppose you will send me up to Mans-
fleld. There’s a crowd of prisoners to be
taken to Shreveport in a day or two.”
A long and painful silence fell upon the
group. This singular prisoner carried a mus- ,
ket. Jim and John had no weapon more
formidable than their torches, and their ,
was destitute of eve e e.
I around helplessly.
“Come"onmbys," sum the o1dmaii,turn-
ing toward home. The prisoner walked
along beside him, and the four took their
painful way along the road and up to Ibo ;
farm house.
The prisoner leaned his musket up against
the wall and ate the corn bread and bacon
which were given him, his captors standing
Then he asked fora blan-
ket, and, having obtained it, wrapped him-
self in it and lay down on the gallery floor,
monarch of all be surveyed. There was no
limit to the calm self possession of this pris-
oner, who had come thrusting himself where
he wasn’t wanted.
“I’ll set up and guard him. boys,” said the
old man. “You all ’ud be jcs’ as like as not
to go to sleep and let ’iin git :11 my.”
So he sat and nodded and snored, and
iearly fell forward on his nose a hundred
times, and groancd dismaily on every such
occasion, to find that terrible Yankee sleep-
ing serene] y, as though he were a child in his
trundle bed back at home. If ever there
was a veritable white elephant on the hands
of any unfortunate and misguided man this
prisoner was that quadruped.
About daylight tho watchcr’s tired frame
gave way, and he sank back into his arm
chair and slept the sleep of the just, “out-
norin’ a camp meetin',” as Jim said irrever-
ently, when he came out and witnessed the
performance. The sun was half way up the
eastern sky when the old man awoke. The
different members of the family were all at
their work. Away down intho farthest field
Jim and John were pulling fodder, and the
jubilant strains of “Dixie” came floating up
from that direction, softened by distance.
Almost at his feet the stranger was sitting
on the top step, cheerfully whittling out a
piece of white pine. _
“You here yet!” exclaimed the old man in
a tone of unmitigated disgust.
“Of course I’m here. You don’t expect me
to leave when [’11) under arrest, do you?"
“I wisht I’d a kill. ye when I first found
yel” retortcd the copier, grimly. “Blamed
if I hadn’t a‘ done it, if I‘d a’ thought I was
a suddlin’ myself with a dratted Yankee that
couldn't be got rid of.”
“All you have to do is to take me over to
Mansfield," said the unconcerned prisoner,
holding the point of the sword up to one eye
and looking down it to see if the blade was
straight.
“I’m not u goin’ to do it, by Ned,” ex-
claimed the jailer savagely. “I can‘t go no-
where, and Jim and John has got to work in
that fodder while they are at home. We may
all have to eat fodder if this beastly war
goes on much longer.”
He was still growling and grumbling when
the tramp of horses’ feet was heard, and di-
rectly several young men and one old one
rode up to the gate. The news had miracu-
lously reached the neighbors 110w old man
Boone had captured the Yankee.
“Howdy, Mr. Johnson — howdy, Bob.
Come in, Sam,” he cried with great animrr
tion. “Yes, there he is; I caught him last
night,” and he placed his hand on the Yan-
kce’s collar, with the air of one who holds
back with great difficulty 8. wild and savage
dog. The young fellow laughed good natur
edly and went on with his ‘vhittling.
“What you going to do with him?” in-
quired Mr. J ohnsou.
"I dunno," said the old man, dubiously.
“He ought to be took to Mansfield, I ,reckin,
but I can’t take him. and my fodder‘s a
spilin’ so that Jim and John can’t leave, an‘
it ain‘t safe to keep him around here."
“I’m goin’ out to Mansfield today.
I take him I" suggested l‘lr. Johnson.
“I hate to bother you," said thisarch hypo
crite, “but I reckin I done my part a-ketchin’
’im, an’ if you could take him out there, it
’ud bongreat favor to me.” And drawing
Mr. Johnson aside, he whispered in his car:
“Do shore and make him ride ahead of ye,
un’ keep yer gun rcarl y, or l‘ust thing you
know he‘ll make a break an’ git apast yo into
the woods.”
A few minutes later two horses went down
Ilhe‘road in single file, and the rider of the
first horse whistled “Yankee Doodle” so
softly and sweetly that his escort f orgot to
keep his gun ready.
Old man Boone and h is young visitors stood
in the gallery and watched the procession
out of sight. As the last glizzipuo of them
(lied away, he said, with a sigh:
“Well, pore. fuller, l lz-atcd to capture him,
but it makes a pore ole man like me, ham-
pered at home as I am, mighty proud to
think he can do even that much for his coun-
try.”
“You bet!” said his admiring auditors.—

WILDCATS IN A FIGHT.
A Duel Between Two Toms in the Press.
once of an Applanding Female.
Levi Smelling, a Spring Brook hunter, re-
cently witnessed a remarkable fight between
two male wildcats in the woods of that sec—
tion. “I was still hunting for Squirrels and
rabbits,” said Mr. Smelling, “when I heard a
terrific yowling and snarling down in the
ravine from where I was trauipiug through
the woods. I knew at once that the noise
was made by wildcais, for I had heard them
scream at night many a. time, and my first
thought was that a wildcat had been caught
in a trap and was yelling from pain. I lis-
tened for a minute, and then I heard two dis-
tinct- voices.
lcdgc to look down into the ravine, and
on my way it seemed as though I could hear
three Wildcats, and I was not mistaken in
this, as I soon found out.
“Ithn I get where I could look down I
saw what all the fuss was about. In an open
space two be wild cuts were ma ring the hair
fly from one another’s bodies, yelling, scratch-
ing and biting, and very now and then
tumbling over each other and tearing up the
leaves. On a limb closeby to them sat a she
wild cat with her back bumped up, and she
was spitting and sissing and urging the he
ones on. I made up my mind right away
that the two toms were fighting over her,
and Ienjoycd iho row more than anything
I had ever seen in the woods. “Ilicn the toms
got tired of clawing one another they crouched
on the ground a. few feet apart and lashed
their tails and howled, while the she one on
the limb kept up a continual noise and lashed
her tail, too.
“After each resting spell the torus rushed
at one another again, and while they were
ripping and tearing, and making the blood
fly I clamorcd down the ledge. stopping every
time they stopped for fear they might hear
mo and either run away or make for me. It
seemed to be hip and tuck between them, for
1hcy were both big and strong, and each ap-
peared bent on killing the other before he
would give up. I wanted to kill them both
and get their hides and the bounty money,
and so I waited for a good shot at them.
I had a charge of buckshot in my right bar-
rel and a bullet in the left, and my intention
was to send the buckshot at them when mixed
up in the next bout.
“Then they flew at one another again, but
before I could reach the spot that I wanted
to get to before I blazed away the toms sep—
arated once more. By this time they were
pretty well fought out, and for a. few min-
utes all they did was to glare at one another,
swing their tails back and forth and bowl.
The she cat then sprang from her limb to
another branch, giving a scream as she
leaped, and in less than ten seconds the he
ones dashed at each other and fought more
furiously than ever, filling the woods with
their yowls.
“Then I banged away at the heap with the
charge of buckshot. One of the Wildcats
leaped into the air and fell down dead, and
the other went howling into the bushes out
of my sight. I saw that there was no use of
trying to get another shot at him, and I sent
the bullet at the she one and knocked her off
the limb. I didn’t stir from the spot until I
had chucked a charge into each barrel, and
then I hurried down to see if I had killed the
she one. She was' dead enough, I was glad
to find out, and then I thought I would search
for the live tom, thinking that he might have
been wounded by one of the buckshot. I
found him after a little, and I guess he would
have given me a pretty lively time of it if
two of his legs hadn’t been broken. As it
w- s he showed fight and tried to tear my
bootleg off, but I had the advantage of him
and I shot him through the head.”—Scranton

hemp-Fourteen Inches of Sleet.
‘ t was thirty-five years ago when I coni-
:tuge life to The Globe correspondent.
“My first stage route was from Yarmouth to
Chatham Lights. The railroad, you know,
then had its terminus at Yarmouth. I was
night line driver, meeting the last train out
from Boston, and, of course, I drove in all
kinds of weather.
“I remember one night that I think beats
everything I remember on the road, one
night’s experience on the coach box in a
northeast snow storm. We had been all
snowed up along the road and the ‘cuts’
where I went through were all filled up by
the wind blowing all the afternoon.
STICKING 'ro rm; SlIIP.
“I had a regular four horse covered coach
with thirty passengers to take. That you
may judge what kind of a. storm we had, my
leaders would not face the storm, but while
I was taking my passengers aboard came
right along side of my coach as much as to
say, ‘It is too tough for anything,’ but my
duty was before me; I never pitied four
horses so much in my life as I did these poor
creatures. I lashed my hat to my head,
leaving .only a peck hole through which to
see the leaders once in a while when prudence
would permit. It was'tcrrible even to think
of starting, as the wind was blowing a gale,
accompanied by snow and sleet, but our
orders in those days were to go until you
‘fetched up,’ and nothing short of that.
“Three hundred yards from the depot the
village expressman, Jim Atkins, who was
traveling on foot,'as he could not get his
team out, hailed me and yelled out; ‘Go
back, Jenes, for God’s sake, go back; you
can’t pull through anywhere; every cut is
full,‘ but my proprietor was on the depot
platform watching, and I was ordered to go,
and go I did,.but I told the ‘boss’ I guessed
it would be my last ‘go.’ It was the most
terrible storm I ever pulled the reins over
four horses in, and I think my proprietor
thought so, too, as he walked his room . all
night long saying, he had based the 'stage
route from Fall River to New Bedford for
twenty-five years and had never been guilty
before cf sending a driver out in such a night
as that andnevcr Would again, for he knew
Jones could never pull through such a terri-
ble night, notwithstanding ho was one of the
best drivers on the line.
“We reached South Yarmouth after wad—
ing through any amount of snow banks. The
night was so cold and tho sleet came down
with so much force that fourteen inches of
‘sleet froze on the windward side of my coach,
and my beard froze into my buffalo coat so
solid that it had to bo sawed 00? with a sharp
carving knife. Seine of the passengers told
me not to go any further, but put up my
team; but I was determined to pull through
and started again, and succeeded in crossing
Bass river bridge in safety, and at 3 o’clock
in the morning reached ll’est Dennis, where
I landed two of my passengers. Here I was
advised to put up and not to try and go on,
but I was determined to go on, so on I went.
Soon after passing the bridge, just beyond
IVcst Dennis, I ran into a deep snow drift and
was obliged to dig out, being assisted by the
passengers, who seemed- to relish the excite<
ment: At the end of thirty minutes we
started again, and had no more trouble until
we reached South Dennis, where we had to be
dug out of another drift.
“I remember I was greatly amused at the
antics of three old Chatham sea captains who
were with me. \Vhen we got stuck in the
drift near “lest Dennis, one of the old sea
dogs, who was full of his fun and 'who worked
with a will to dig the snow away, and-..whcn
any of the other helpers would show any
signs of giving up, he would get him back at
it again by some witty remark, and to en-
courage mo said, ‘For God’s sake, stick by the
ship as long as there is a plank left,’ but the
South Dennis drift was too much for him,
and after working awhile was completely
fagged out; he said to me, ‘Jones; why don’t
you abandon the ship?’ I told him he had
got to keep his courage up, as there were lots
of drifts ahead.
Tun carrams Dasnnrnn.
”West Harwich was the next village we
passed through. There we got into a very
had read, where the coach rolled and rocked
so like a ship in a heavy sea, that the captain
sung out to me ‘to take in sail.’ It was
smoother going after passing this rough
place, until we reached Harwich, the half-
way station, where we usually shifted horses.
“There finding that the hustler, not think-
ing the coach would be along, had gone home
to bed, I had to shift horses myself, and that
was no small job either; so by the time the
coach was ready to start again I was about
‘played out,’ but I hauled out and ‘put her’
for Chatham. We pulled through many
largo drifts, until finally we came to a full
stop in a deep cut, full of snow, between
‘Broken Back hill’ md Chatham. It seemed
impossible to get out of this. All hands were
called out again to dig our way out.
“The old captains wouldn’t ‘comc to time.’
They were all tuckered out and left me, they
managing to reach in safety the bills from
which the snow had been blown down into the
cuts. All the passengers had been landed,
and now, the captains abandoning me, I was
left alone. It was blowing colder_and colder,
and I thought I would freeze to death; but
what should I do, with my horses and with
coach stuck in a drift, and no one to help me?
I untackled the horses and succeeded in get-
ting them out of the drift and under the lee
of a. hill, in among some scrub pines. The
poor horses were suffering more than I ever
saw animals suffer before.
Besides being coach driver, I was also ex-
press man and mail agent, and. as there had
not been any mail for a week, I had seven
bushels of mail matter and $2,500 in gold in
that coach. I didn’t know what to do. As a
last resort I made the horses follow me in a
circle around the clump of pines. This kept
us from freezing, and so it was kept up the
remainder of the night.
then daylight at last appeared there was
no part of my coach in sight except the end
of the whip protruding above the snow. To
this I tied my red muffler as a signal of dis-
tress, which was men by a man on the hills
above me, who came to my amistance, and
piloted me and the horses, in single file, to
his barn, some two miles distant. Here we
staid four days, the wind still blowing a.
gale, blowing the snow so that it was useless
trying to dig out the roads, as they filled
immediately again with snow. My eyes were
so cut by the sleet that I could hardly see
anything for three days, but on the fourth
day I was so much better that I decided to
make a move, so I mounted one of the
horses anrkfi‘eported myself at Chatham stage
quarters! The sixth day the coach was dug
out and I drove it up to Chatham postoflico
and delivered my mail and express. The
snow was sixteen feet deep in some of the
cuts—Boston Globe.

“Because I must obey orders,” replied the
brakemcn, firm! y, as he reached down and
picked up the (log and walked away with it,
while the woman sank back in her seat, ex-
claiming:
“IVell, it’s a shame! The idea of a harm-
less little creaturo like that hurting any one!
There is no sense in such a law!”
Probably she has not yet recovered from
her indignation, and will protest angrily the
next time her dog is removed from her, as he
certainly will be, unless she is willing to go
into the baggage car for the sake of his so-
ciety.—Youth’s Companion.

No Room.
It is not every child who realizes that, as a
popular writer expresses it, “something gets
crowded out” when people attempt to do too
much.
A little fellow, whose love of Bible history
ls indulged at all times 21.1.1 in all places, was
recently reprovod by his mother for lack of
order.
“You must get in the habit of putting
away your rubbers and overcoat,” said she,
“and not leave it for others to do."
“Well, momma," said the young reasoner,
“don’t you know that a person’s head can
only contain just so much? Now, if I put
rubbers and overcoats and such things into
mine, then Moses and the Kings and Proverbs
will have to be crowded out.”- Kingston
Freeman.

Our little son will be four years of age on the

in :1 physician, who named him for about four
weeks. The child received lime or no good from

became larger in blotches, and more and more

slrhng liuilucms, etc. Finally, we called other
physicians. until no less than six had attempted to
cure him, a]! alike failing, and the child steadily
gelling worse and worse, until about the 20111 of
last July. when we begun to give him CUTICURA

he was so nearly well that We gave him only one
dose of me llfisou’nxr about every second day

A” LITTLE POET.
Out In the garden wee Elsie
Was gathering flowers for me;
“O. momma,” she cried, “hurry, hurry, . - 5,
Here’s something I want you to see. ” :
i went to the window. Before her
.\ velvet winged butterfly flew,
And the pnnslcs themselves were not brighter
Than the beautiful creature in hue.
"0. isn‘t it pretty?" cried Elsie,
With eager and wondering eyes,
As she watched it soar lazily upward
Against the soft blue of the skies.
“I know what it hi. don‘t you. momma!“
O, the wisdom of these little things
When the soul of a poet is in them,
"It‘s r. pansy—a pansy with wings.“

The Holly Tree.
d
Although the belly is one of the most
be: -Liful of our evergrccn plants, it is com-
paratively rare that it is found domesticated
and adorning the lawns either of our suburb-
reuiote counlry places. Mun y forest com-
panions- of the holly have been removed from
their parent soil and made to flourish in all
their original vigor and beauty near the
liborlcs of men; but it has, for the most part,
:zauiumilled its wild estate of savage freedom,
by nature’s own hand. This apparent neglect
a-l' a plant, which is second to none of the
to no want of aesthetic upprcciai ion on the
which generally prevails, among ama-
teur gardeners at least, that the holly

made the attempt only to fail, and the . zi-
who would have been happy to
adorn their grounds with this healthy,
wholesome firm, which with its suggestions of
the Chr 1; season of good will, seems, as
it stands amid the winter snow, with its red
berries and \i'culili of glistening green, to be
atonic and a refreshment to the physical
vision, and to bear on every bough a genial,
hearty message, full of good cheer and hope.
Realism and Dirt.
denouncing realism in literature
tmust ho filthy, makes himself re-
fill, 'd. It is proper to reject Zola, yes;
not, 1101-. over, for the reason that he is real-
istic in his drawings of character, but be-
The dirt of
cities is the dirt of man. The soil and sweep—
ings of civilization are as valueless as chips
of marble that have fallen at the fmt of the
sculptor who is chiseling a beautiful statue.
The y are real but they are not to be pro-
served. Walt \Vhitman, a good gray crank,
once got so near to nature in his mind that
be thought human beings might do as cattle
do, be indifferent to publicity and dead to
shame in all acts. He had the soul of a poet
and wanted to be a beast. Of all things cre-
ated man is nearest to God. He must look
up. Let him as a. writer or painter be as
real 1:: be will; but let his realism picture the
real things that are worthy. Ho need not
turn :vway from the perfumes of apple blos-
soms in sweet lanes to inhale the foul stench
of narrow, crowded alleys in W'hitechapel
quarters. There is no reason why the realist
should stoop lower than the beautiful roses
that grow along the hedges that he may stir
realistic waters of rotten and reeking gut-
ters. Clear skies and mountain tops are
more cnnobling than flickering fallow dips
d basement lodging wretchedness, and
unite as realistic. 0, you writers! be real if
you will; be clean if you can—New Orleans

Young Lynx Hunters.
Norma Barr .‘ teacher of Milford school,
was in town last week and related a story of
some adventurous Milford youths and a lynx.
He said that four of his small boys were out
in the woods when they came upon a large
lynx. One of them took a stone and struck
the animal on the hcai‘. knocking it down.
The boys then jumped on to the animal and
held it until one of their number went to the
school house and got the teachra. Together
they secured the beast and took him to the
school house, where they now have him alive.

How She Understood It.
The boy who gravely stated in the chemis-

belonged to that variety of original thinkers
who prefer their own interpretations to blind
reliance on a text book.
A governess in 9. private family was once
astonished, in a history recitation. by the
statement, “The queen, on heal-11;; this news,
was so frightened that she flew into flinders. "
”What can you mean?” exclaimed the
teacher. “It is given in the book, ‘Tho queen
fled into Flanders.’ "
“Oh,” replied the pupil, “I thoughtit meant
she was frightened to pieces. "—Youth’s Com-
panion.
The Dog's Sense of Justice.
A friend of the Saunterer residing in the
suburbs is the owner of’ a very large and in-
telligent Newfoundland dog, to which he is
much attached. The other day Max (the
(log in question) accompanied his master to a
neighboring market, where some purchases
were to be made, and, of course, something
for the dog was included in the list.
When it came to the latter investment the
purchaser was impressed with the small re-
turn securcd for his money, and the dog’s
glance at the same time seemed to signify
thatosimiiar impression had taken possession
of his canine mind. The purchaser was just
about to rcmonstrute with the dealer, when,
turning suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the
dog, who had taken his own method to get
even, and was darting through the door
with something he had seized from the bench.
The dealer did not notice the theft, and the
owner of the dog thought he was justified in
postponing any rcmonstranccmz in his pur-
chase until a more favorable time—Boston
