FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

The Btory of a Coin Told by a Com* pany of Narrators. A game which can be made very interesting as well as amusing by any number of players is the one in which some piece of money is used, as a five cent piece. The players are seated in a row, and the coin is passed from one to another. The object of the play is to tell some funny story with which the coin is connected. Before the first person begins his story a little time is given him to think of some way he may have secured the five cent piece. Many different ways may suggest themselves to him. He might have found it in some 6traiige place, or he might have received it for some service. When the first jilaver has finished his storv, he passes the coin on to the next, and that one tells of some experience. When all have related their stories, the leader of the game takes the coin and announces that since all of the players have seen the five cent piece they should know what words it bears upon its sides. A chance is given each player tc name as many words as he can, and the one guessing the greater number deserves the prize. A Brave Act. During the bombardment of Bomarsund bv the British fleet in A. D. 1854 the forts were pouring a heavy fire on the British ships, among them being the llecla. Suddenly with a roar a great shell crashed on to the Hccla’s deck.

IT WAS INSTANTLY SEIZED BY MIDSHIPMAN LUCAS AND HURLED INTO THE SEA.

With great courage and presence of mind it was instantly seized with both hands by a midshipman named Lucas and hurled into the sea, where it exploded with a terrific roar. For this brave act the midshipman was recommended for the Victoria cross when it was instituted, A. D. 185 G. He was the first to obtain that distinction. He rapidly rose till lie became Rear Admiral Lucas.—Chatterbox.

A Very Bad Habit.

When a boy breaks through the reserve which nature has given him and begins to befoul his mouth with bad language, he enters on a course that leads easily to destruction. Association with other boys at night without supervision helps on this evil way. Let’s all get together in this community and stop the profanity. To do this we need the enforcement of the curfew law and the co-operation not only of the three great p’s—“pulpit, press and police’*-—but of that still greater p, parents, and of the schoolteachers. —lndianapolis News.

A Boy’s Definition of Peace.

“Can you tell me the meaning of the word peace?” asked Miss Gray of a little boy who had just recited a patriotic poem in which the word occurred. “Peace means when you ain’t got no children,” answered the child. “How is that ?” asked Miss Gray. “When my mother has washed and dressed her six children for school in the morning, she says, 'Now I’ll have peace.’ ” Chicago Tribune.

A Lonesome Little Girl. My mother is the prettiest thing; She still looks but a girl, folks say. I wish she was a girl, for then Together we could play! I’m six years old—or will be soon— And I'm all the child she’s trot, And sometimes when 'tls lonely, why, I wish there was a lot! For mother has to work so hard, A-danoing nights and pouring tr.i Each afternoon, she has no time 1 To play and romp with me! I wish some nights she'd stay at home And. when It's time to go to bed, She'd hear my prayers Instead of norse; Then when It's dark I'd have no dread. If she'd Just let me hold her hand. Her pretty hand with all Its rings. And I can go right oft to sleep If mother only sings! But mother has no time, she says. To humor little girls, 'cos she Gets tired out with balls and things That keeps her up till three. I hark each night for mother’s step, And then I call out loud and clear, "Hope you'll have a lovely time,” And “Good night, mother, dear!” But when she's gone and down below I hear the carriage door slam to I feel so lonely I could cry. And sometimes, p'r'aps, I do. -D. Z. Doty-

One of the Fowler papers says that a Fowler sport who run one of the gambling machines here during the late carnival, picked up $2,600 in Rensselaer with his game. Few farmers in Jasper county are able to clean up this much in two years hard labor on the farm, 7 A class of thirty-one members, 16 boys and 15 girls, received their First Holy Communion at St. Augustine’s Catholic church last Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. Kneadler’s folks live near Monticello. The Elks, who had made all arrangements to give a carnival at Brazil the first week in October, have dropped the project on account of the attitude of a number of business men. The council had granted the Elks the right to use certain blocks on Main street and cross streets, but several merchants notified the Elks that if they proceeded with the carnival the courts would be petitioned to issue an injunction against the streets being blockaded. Sunday, when C. L. Thorton returned home from the light plant, he was greeted with a surprise. His wife had very cleverly planned matters and had a large table loaded with all kinds of good things to eat and a large company of guests to help eat them. The surprise was complete. The occasion was Mr. Thornton’s thirtyseventh birthday anniversary. All departed after having enjoyed a splendid repast and a good time generally and wishing Mr. Thornton many happy returns of the day.

It looks like Laßue Bros, mean just what they say in regard to closing out, from the prices they are making on all their goods. The Fowler Republican comes in for a good deal of criticism for “sticking its nose into the Jasper and Newton county fight,” but Bro. Barce has a long memory and that “add” of the Rensselaer Street Fair nerves him up in the hope of getting another.—Benton Review.' XThe Pulaski county council has reduced the county tax levy to 30 cents on the hundred dollars, Pulaski county is also paying for a new court house, but its county council is composed of democrats. So well pleased with the work of the council are the republicans of that county that their late county convention endorsed the re-nomi-nation of some of the democratic members. The county commissioners have contracted for the purchase of the Arrick farm west of town for use as a county farm. The present county farm is located in Honey Creek township and contains 200 acres. The county council will be asked to make the necessary appropriation at its next session. The contract price is SIOO per acre. If the purchase is made the location will be much more convenient than the present one.— Monticello Journal.

WHEN WIT MEETS WIT.

Mr. John Kemlrick Bangs is the proud possessor of three young sons, the eldest of whom bids fair to rival his famous father in wit. The other day Mr. Bangs took the three boys out for a long tramp, miscalculated the distance and found he was tiring the youngsters out, though not one of them would confess it. At this moment they came to a pretty difficult hilt. It occurred to Mr. Bangs to lighten the boys’ labors by stirring their imaginations, so he pretended the hill was San Juan and they were to charge up to the top. All went well till the eldest boy stopped in the middle of the rush to blow his nose. “What’s this?” said Mr. Bangs. “A soldier stopping during ft charge to blow his nose? Nice soldier you would make. Why, you’d be disgraced forever for a thing like that.” “I should think.” replied the imperturbable youngster, “that it would be easy enough to take your handkerchief and wipe out the disgrace.” Mr. Bungs continued his part of the charge in a meek silence.—Harper’s.

Sol Smith Russell's Songs.

In the minds of those who had followed the stage career of the late Sol Smith Russell for thirty years or more his name was always closely associated with two songs. One of these he sang in the late sixties, when he was billed as “a serio comic vocalist.” Its refrain— X saw Esau kissing Kate; , The fact Is. we all three saw. For I saw Esau, ’e saw me. Anti she saw I saw 'e saw—was on nearly everybody’s lips in the country at the time. Years afterward when he had become a successful dramatic star he made the song “Shabby Genteel” famous by his pathetic rendering of it in “A Poor Relation.” lie not only acted and looked, but for the time being he was, the personification of the refrain— Too proud to beg. too honest to steal, I know what It I* to he wanting a mu.l; My tatters and rags I try to conceal; I'm one o( the shabby K' uteel —Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Land of Fire and Ice.

A new geological map of Iceland by Dr. Thoroddson, who has spent many years on the work, gives much fresh information about one of the world’s most wonderful islands, which few visitors ever see. An example of the strangeness of Iceland is furnished by the volcano Katla. This is buried under immense enowfields, hut from time to time its fires, burst through the glittering blanket, and then such floods are poured from the melting ice that a great stretch of country between the volcano and the sea is inundated, and huge masses of ico are carried out into the ocean. It is unsafe even to cross the territory lying between Katla and the sea, so suddenly come the floods.
