THE LITTLE PEOPLE

A baby girl knelt down to pray One morn. The mother said, "My love, why do we ever cay

Little Roth wanted fcd joln her papa in a long walk. "It is too fkr lor yoo —you will get tired," said her papa. "Oh, no, I won't," said Rath, confidently "but if I do, I can go htppity hop, you know."

A careless yonlb at Oalkland, Gfbson county, rehearsing tbe role of William Tell,popped his play son.named Lester, in the eye, endangering if not ruining it. He bad another arrow "to shoot thee, tyrant, had I slain me boy!"

The touching spectacle of a boy lead ing home his drunken parent was witnessed at Burlingtan, Iowa, recently. The progress was quite slow, however, as the boy was considerably the drunker of the two.

The Hearth and Home, speaking of yrnpathy as the key to the "myster, of childhood says: "If the father who does not know what to do with his unruly little boy woold play jack-stones on the cellar-door, would soon find out."

A clergyman at Sheffield asked some children: "Why do we say in the Lord's Prayer: 'Who art in heaven,' since Qod is everywheref" He Baw a little drummer who looked as if be could give an answer, and turned to him for it. "Well, little soldier, what say you "Because its head-quarters."

Whenever Jeannie Purvis, of Binghamton, dies, she will say to her mother: "Give my button string, which is 24 feet long, weighs seven pounds, and comprises 1,942 different buttons, to brother: I don't want it any more." May she live long to increase bcr buttons. mother reached for the ether evening, elly, and after dust-

Little Johnn him with her s! for hooking th ing the portion of bis pantaloons that ho sits on, she was surprised to hear him laugh over it, and demanded the causes of it. "I was thinking bow I had fooled yon. It was Mary who hooked the jelly."

A little six year old son of Mr. Weber, ot Sandwich, Illinois, is almost as export with firearms as a grown man. llo passed a ball entirely through his little hand and deposited it safely under his left optic, without previous

raclico.

With ordinary luck be can

low his. brains out by blowing into the muzzle of his gun three times out ef flvo when he gets to be a man.

There is nothing so effecting in a child as a certain sweet spirit of soltabnogation. Sammy was a little boy at school in a village far from bis home. One day his father oarne to see him and thoy took a walk together. Meeting tho principal of the school, Sammy performed the ceremony of introduction. "Mr. S." said he "this is a father of mine."

A lady went out shopping, promising hor little son that sho would get him a cocoiuiut. She procured him one with a husk, in which state be hud never seen one. On arriving at home sLo guve it to the boy, who looked at it curiously, smiled and laid it down. Presently he said— "Mother, where's my cocoanut?"

A farmer in Illinois had a neighbor across the Wabash in Indiana, who was keeping a pauper on contract at his house. In tho corn hoeing season the Illinois man sometimes borrowed his neighbor's pauper to help in the corn field. Hill Turner had a pauper working for him, and as none of tne people In the neighborhood had ever seen a pauper, thov were very anxious to get a peep at hitn. Consequently somo twenty of them joined together one dav, armed with their shot guns and rirf«s, and went over to Turner's to see the strange creature. They got cautiously over the fence, and came up to where* the men were working. "Bill," said Silas Brown,their spokesman, "we've heard that you've aot a pauper working for you, and we'u like "to see It."

Bill thereupon pointed out the object of their curiosity. The visitor walked around the astonished pauper, and silently surveyed him from every point of view. At last Silas spoke: "Look here, Bill Turner," said he, you can't fool us tAat'* a mem!

We wish all those in charge of charitable institutions had the same idea about paupers as Silas had.—[Hearth and Home.

The old man having captured one, and knowing It was a "gone coon" If left out of doors, killed a favorite oat of ft neighbor's, and cutting its head olT and removing its jacket, he hung It where it could be readily stolen The next morning while ne was busily at work, the boys approached and commenced twRMng the old nan with the lose of his coon, lie assured them that It tasted "fust rate." ••But Dad, you know yoo had no coon." "Reckon I did," was Dad's qaiet reply. "Bat ire eat him." asserted the boy*.

A PRIMA DONNA'S REPERTOIRE.—An Ohio journalist read in another paper a statement that "Miss Kellogg has a larger repertoire than any other living rirna donna," and be considered it his uty as a champion of truth to sit down and write an article on tbe subject, in which he said: "We do not, ol course, know how Miss Kellogg was dressed in other cities, but upon the occasion of her last performance here we are positively certain that her repertoire did not seem to extend out so far as either Nilsson's or Patti's. It may have been that her overskirts were cut too narrow to permit of its being gathered into such a large lump behind, or it may have been crushed down accidentally but the fact remains that both ef Miss Kellogg's rivals wore repertoires of a much more extravagant size—very much to their discredit, we think."

GENERAL DEBILITY.—In this com plaint tbe good effects of the Vegetine are realized Immediately after commen cing to take it as debililv denotes deflcency of the blood, and Vegetiae acts directly upon the blood. There is no remedy that will restore the health from debility like tbe Vegetine. It is nourishing and strengthening, purifies the blood, regulates tne bowels, quiets the nervous system, acts directly upon tbe secretions, and arouses the whole system to action. It has never failed in this complaint.

"I Just gave it to you," she replied. Taking it up again, he viewed it contemptuously for a moment and exclaimed— "That thing a cocoanut I thought it was a waterfall."

A diffident youth was paving his addresses to a gay lass of the country, who had U»ng despaired of bringing things to a crisis. He called o»e day when she was alone. After settling the merits of tho weather, the girl said, looking slyly into his face: "I dreamed of you last night." "Did you? Why, now!" "Yes: I dreamed that you kissed mo." "Why, now What did vou dream your mothor said "Oh, I tiroiiined she wasn't at home." Alight dawned on the youth's intellect, a singular sound broke the stillness, and in a few weeks they were married.
