FOR THE CHILDREN

Hidden Trlrgnma. In this guine you ure to imagine you have a distant friend with whom you have an understanding about an expected message. It might be that there are two or three contestants for a certain prize or honor. The name of one might be Jenkins, that of another Harrison and that of the third Sheldon. Suppose Jenkins is the successful contestant and that you wish to telegraph to your friend simply the name of Jenkins. However, you wish to conceal the message as much as possible, so the understanding is that the first letters of the words you telegraph will spell the name. With this explanation each player sets to work to write a clever sentence in which the first letters will spell Jenkins. The various players may get sentences like this: Judge Engles never knew I noticed Sally. Julia's elbow next knocked Irish Norah silly. Jack expects no kiss in Nova Scotia. Jam ekting nearly killed Ikey Natham Saturday. It is impossible that there will be any two alike, and the game is to see who can write the cleverest. The telegrams are read aloud, and the players vote to see whose is best. The sn( on the Bookshelf. The owner of one of the pews in a country church discovered one Sunday that a robins’ nest had been begun on the shelf occupied by the books, actually tucked between the angle formed by two prayer books. He did not disturb the robins’ preparations, but waited with some curiosity to see whether the nest would be completed. Sure enough! The following Sunday the nest was not only finished, but there were five little eggs in it. The birds themselves waited on the sill of a nearby window during the entire service, seeming not a bit embarrassed at the crowd of people aronnd their borne. The following Sunday the robin did not even leave the nest, but remained guarding the eggs all during church time. The nest was not disturbed, and in due time the baby robins grew up and at last left their early home and saintly surroundings.—Philadelphia Ledger. Jefferson's Ten Rates. Thomas Jefferson, who framed the Declaration of Independence and was the third president of the United States, also thought out these ten rules, which every girl and boy would do well to remember and practice: Never put off until tomorrow, what you can do today. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.

Never spend money before you have earned it. * Never buy wbat you don’t want because it is cheap. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold. We seldom repent having eaten too little. Nothing Ls troublesome that we do willingly. How much pain the evils have cost us that have never happened! When angry, count ten before you speak. If very angry, count a hundred. The Celestial Schoolboy. * Each Chinese schoolboy must furnish his own stool and table, the ink well, a cake of india ink, a brush for writing and paper.* With these be begins bis weary task of learning ts write and read the thousands of Chinese characters. These are to open the way to the Chinese classics, and a knowledge of this ancient literature and wisdom means education to the Chinese. At the opening of a Chinese school a paper on which is written the name of Confucius ls pasted on the wall. Before this honored name the pupils and teachers burn paper money and Joss sticks and bow their heads three times to the floor. The teacher then tells Confucius the day, the month and the year when the school is opened and begs for his favor. Every morning when the pupils arrive they must bow twice, once for the teacher and once for Confucius. What Do Ton Think of Ned’s Exmwl “Mamma, Ned took my piece of cake.” “Why, Ned!” “Well, mother, she was quarreling with Bob about it, and you told me always to take her part when she was in trouble.” A sad Frotfgie Tale. A naughty young froggie who lived in a pond v “ “ Wandered off. one spring day, In the meadows beyond. Disobeying, bad child, both his father and mother, Who had bidden him stay with his wee baby brother While they went to call and take afternoon tea With their friend.

Many men and Women are constantly subjected to what they commonly term “a continual strain" because of some financial or family trouble. It wears and distresses them both mentally and physically, affecting their nerves badly, and bringing on liver and kidDey ailments, with the attendant evils of constipation, lost of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality and despondency. They cannot, aa a rule, gix rid of tbia “continual strain," but they can remedy Its health-destroying effects by taking frequent doses of Green’s August Flower. It tones up the liver, stimulates the kidneys, Insures healthy bodily fuDctiona, gives vlm and spirit to one’s whole being, and eventually dispels the physical or mental distress caused by that “conti uual •train.” Trial bottle of August Flower, 35c: regular size, 76c.

THE TRAMP’S HALT

The battered hat pulled down over his eyes hardly shaded kis rough face, most of which was covered .with a coarse, bristling beard. As he shambled on through the heat and dust his eyes were fixed ou the ground, but now and then he raised his head slightly and took a rapid glance over the fields nnd up to the distant hills. Presently he reached a slight bend In the road and, rounding this, approached a small frame house, entered the yard, carefully closing the gate after him, and after standing irresolutely a few moments walked across the lawn. As he rounded the corner of the house a little terrier rushed at him, yelping shrill defiance and calling to the door of the kitchen a tall woman of perhaps fifty years of age. Her Iron gray hair, brushed straight back from her forehead, w'as caught In a knot at the crown of her head and held In place by a steel comb. At the first glance she might have been called an “angular” woman, which expression usuully conveys the Impression of an angular disposition, but the severe plainness of her appearance was relieved by her eyes. Soft gray they were, with kind little wrinkles around them, and they looked now at the strange figure before her through spectacles, with a twinkle of quizzical sympathy. Quieting with a sharp word the zealous dog, which was still yelping around the tramp, she leaned against the doorpost, drying her hands on a coarse towel and surveying with a slight smile of pity, shaded with contempt, the ragged specimen of humanity, who stood there awkwardly, the battered remnant of a hat grasped in qne hand and gazing at her with a look which might have indicated sullenness or respect. “Well, what d’ye want, my man? I reckon somethin’ to cat an’ drink ’d about suit ye, eh? Jest you set down on the step there, an’ I'll see what I can do fer ye. I never could scare up much affection fer a tramp somehow, but I try to follow the Scriptural advice ’bout the cup of cold water, an’ mebbe that was meant t’ include pie, es any was handy.” Not noticing the gesture of dissent from the tramp, she turned into the kitchen and presently came back with a bowl of milk and an immense piece of dried apple pie. which she placed before her guest, telling him to “set down an’ pitch in.” The wanderer, though evidently not suffering from hunger, ate and drank with apparent but not unrestrained enjoyment. The woman sat down on the step above him and watched him eat with an amused, nearsighted expression. “Another thing makes me kinder feel fer you tramps is my boy bein’ gone. Nigh on to eight years now since I kissed him goodby down by the gate yonder, an’ he started off so brave an’ | hopeful-like. Lord, how proud I was i of him. goin’ away to make a fortune I fer his mother, but I thought my heart ! would burst as I seen him disappear round the bend in the road up there, a-wavin’ his hand to me, standin* lookin’ over the gate!” “Where did he go?” asked the tramp, who was crouching on the step with bent head. The woman's eyes were fixed bn the blue hills in the distance, and she did not notice him. “Out west. Got it into his head he c’d make a pile of money out there, an’ I thought so, too. ’cause Tom was a right smart lad an’ steady as a rock. An’ his letters was hopeful, too, but I haven’t hqerd from him now these six years. His father’s dead, too —died three year ago from a horse kick, so I’m alone.” Her voice grew tremulous, but she brightened again. “Sometimes, settin’ out there in front o’ the house after tea, I doze off. kinder dreamin’, and then I think I can see Tom cornin’ up to the gate, back to his old mother, him a grown man. An’ when I wake up I always feel cold, an’ I have a little cry to myself, an’ then I’m all right again, fer I know I’ll meet him up there when”— “Maybe lie's not dead. He might have gone wrong,” said the tramp without raising his head. “My Tom go wrong? Why, man, es my boy was alive today I’m sure he'd be honest an’ good as I am settin’ here. You’re down in the world; but, not knowin’ the facts, I ain’t sayin* but what it mightn’t ’a’ been all your fault. But es you’d known my boy as I do you’d never believe he c’d go wrong. It’s all I have now—my faith in my religion an' my faith in my boy—an’ es anything shook either I’d rather not live.” For several minutes they sat silent, struggling with the thoughts that came upon them. Slowly the wanderer rose. "Thank you for the meal, missus. I*m goin’ on.” And he turned and walked slowly toward the gate, the little terrier, unnoticed, barking at his heels. Passing through the gate, he latched It carefully and without turning his head started up the rbad at his old slouching gait, his hands thrust deep In the pockets of his trousers, his head bent forward, bis shuffling feet kicking np clonds of dust which settled behind him as he passed as though to obliterate his footsteps. The woman, who had come to the gate, stood there and gazed after him, her hand shading her eyes. The tramp made no sign until he reached the bend in the road. There be stopped, half turned and looked back for a moment then disappeared round the bend. Had it not been for the dust the woman might have seen him wave his band.—New York Telegram.

The SPORTING WORLD

Redfern’a Brilliant Rldlnft. Arthur Itedfern is riding in the best form of his career this season. Last year he ranked with the top notchers, and he is now eclipsing the most brilliant of his exploits. Redfern's latest feat was to pilot the SOO,OOO “picture horse” Uermis to vic-

tory in the classic Suburban handicap at Sheepsbead Bay. He won a stake of $17,000 and $75,0 lO in bets in that race for his owner, E. It. Thomas, the millionaire sportsman. Itedfern is the leading jockey of the Thomas stable ’and is well worth his salary of $20,00C a year. Fits Ha* the Flglit Fever. “The Grand Old Man” of the prize ring has got the fighting fever again good and hard. Down at Bath Beach. N. Y-, Bob Fitzsimmons is “biting the bit,” so to speak, and tugging hard a 1 the chains that bind him to a life of in activity, because all the heavyweight light heavyweight and middleweight championship aspirants, who loudly clamor for some one to fight, all crawl into their respective holes and pull the holes in after them when Fitz looms up. “I dare you to come out and fight!” madly yells the “freckled freak,” hut as they all know of the pile driver power behind the old man’s wonderful wallop silence reigns supreme. No one takes his dare. Bob Fitzsimmons is tired of “talking fight” and yearns for "real action.' Though McCoy, Ituhlin, liart and oth er aspirants for his honors have shown a desire to meet Fitzsimmons, none ol them has as yet clinched a battle. Ruby Rob has declared again that he is willing to meet inside of three weeks and in a six round bout in Philadel phla any of the men who declare they are anxious to get at him. The Cornish man is sincere, and it disgusts him that the fighters continually dodge his game after making such a holler for a match with him. Yachting, Pointer*.

Watson-’s many beautiful vessels, and under a new name she will enter the Astor cup race, the long ocean race and other New York Yacht club events. Among the well known yachts that have gone into commission are the eighteen knot Norma, which raced Kanawha off Newport last summer; Mr. Flint’s Arrow, the big three masted Atlantis, back from her long cruise in the Caribbean; the Mindora, Celt, Kismet, the famous old Viking, now an auxiliary; the Lasca, Endymion, Wanderer, Aloha, Narada, Wacouta. Among the American yachts racing abroad this season are Commodore Morton I-’. Plant’s schooner Ingomar. She made the passage from Bristol, It. 1., to the Needles in 15 days 9 hours 25 minutes and behaved well the entire trip. Kiely, Irli.li Champion. Thomas F. Kiely, the champion all round athlete of Great Britain and Ireland and the present holder of several English and Irish records, arrived in New York recently. He came to America to tiike part in the all round championship games at St. Louis. Kiely has a long record. He captured the Irish championship title every year the event was held, and it was finally abolished when no competitors were forthcoming to oppose the Carrick man. He is the holder of eighty championships and the creator of forty records and is the possessor of 1,500 prizes. His best record with the hammer is 151 feed 11 inches from the nine foot circle, and he has slung the fiftysix pound weight 38 feet 11 inches with one hand, which is the world's record. Kiely’s native place is Ballyueal, near Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary. He is thirty years of age, stands six feet one inch and Ups the scale at 100 pounds and has a chest measurement of forty-two inches. The Trotting Race Season, Secretaries of grand circuit tracks are commencing to announce the classes for the purse races, an indication that the opening of the harness season on the big line is near at hand. Some few of the horses that will be seen in select society later on have already commenced to rnce on the half mile tracks, and these should be ready to meet even the much touted southern trained ones. If a horse can be raced on the half mile tracks thus early in the year without being injured, there Is no reason why the high priced race horses should not compete with each other, and there should be little danger of Injuring them if the races are on the two in three plan.
