We put him to bed In his little nightgown, The worst battered youngster there was In the town ; Yet he eaid aa he opened hU only well eye: "Rah, 'rah, for the Jolly old Fourth of Julyl" I said we were glad all the pieces -wore there, As we plastered and bound them with tender est care. But out of the wreck came the words with a eigb: "If tomorrow was only tho Fourth of July I" He will grow altogether again, never fear. And be ready to celebrate freedom next year; Meanwhile, all his friends are most Uiankful there lies A crackerless twelve-month twlxt Fourth of Julys, We kissed him good-night on his powder- specked face, We laid his bruised hands softly down in their place, And he murmured, as Bleep closed his one open eye : "I wish every day was tho Fourth of July I1 The predominance of girls over boys in graduating classes is said to be fully three to one, and that educated women having more resources than the ignor ant are less inclined to marry or more particular whom they accept. This would argue that a young man's chances of suiting his tastes in choice of a wife had better not leave school too early for a business life. But there are men and men and some men get more discipline and experience in the business world that goes to make up a strong manhood than others who have only acquaintance with books and school training. Why is it so many stores are dead during what is known as the dull season of the year? That there are dull seasons no one can deny, but because trade is dull why should we fold our hands and 'refrain from making any effort to get the trade that is to be had? When everybody is anxious to buy does not take a very shrewd merchant to sell goods. Where he shows hi skill is in doing business when the other fellow is doing none. Breaks the Regard. At a special revved held Thursday evening, June -29, by Wellington Tent No. 10fj K. 0. T, M., twenty-six candi - dates were initiated. This not only breaks the county record, but with one or two exceptions beats the state rec ird. The Pittsfield and Wellington degree teams performed the initiatory work and each did very well. The I. O. 0. F. hall was engnged for the special purpose' of receiving this unusual number of new members into the order. After the initiations were over ligh refreshments were served in the Mac cabee hall. Visiting sir knights were present from Huntington, Sullivan, Spencer, Penfield, Pittsfield. Rochester and Norwa'k. Following telegram was received from H. M. Parker and letter from A B. Webber, who could not be present "Hotel Victory, Put-in-Bay W. W, Helman : Called to Toledo to meet Boynton Thursday night. Get Webber if pos sible. H. M. Parker." "Elyria, 0., June 28, '99. Mr. W. W. Helman, Wellington, 0., Dear Brother: Your very kind let ter received. Also copy of Enterprise. Thanks for your kindness. To the members of Wellington Tent No. 105, "All hail I" In your marvelous growth rejoice. According to your popula tion, yon have outdone Elyria Tent, in the addition of new members. If by my presence, voice or words, I have had any share in bringing about th glorious result, I am content. You ascribe to my part in the mutter more than you ought. The real reason for your rapid -growth is the effective work which has been done by you and the other brothers. Like the frog some of you are agitators. In time that always churns the butter. You have more pushers than walkers riders is the reason. I am sorry that I can not be with you to-morrow evening, but my en gagements are such as to make it im possible. However, I shall bo with you in thought. I am glad you have taken the town. You will not only d your Tent good, but on the individual: and families of those who shall be ini iated, yon will confer an everlasting blessing. Let the good work go on, Yours fraternally, , A. K.

Lately I had occasion to visit Bay City, Matagorda county, Tex., and rode by buggy across the country to this point, 40 miles 17 miles from Bay City -east. I came upon a community wnose history Is an interesting one. The founder of this community was Elijah Boon, who was born a slave in Virginia and brought to Texas during the Mexi can war by his owner, Elgy Harrison, who settled at Cedar lake. Boon was then 18 years old.' He worked for his master until the war freed him, wnen be went to farming on his own account. He rented the land and the owner fur nished the mule for a share of the crop, Boon soon began to gather a little prop erty, and in ten yeart had accumulated about 25 head of cattle and a nan-dozen horses. He kept on renting his land, but as he furnished his own horses and feed he got a much larger share of the erop. He soon became tired ol pay ing rent, and bought 60 acres of land in the timber, no acre of wiiicn Dut naa trees enough on it to make 200 cords If cut into firewood. Boon went at the forest in earnest. and cut and cleared about seven acres the first year, renting 25 acres of land that he had previously cleared for Its owner. He made three bales of cotton on bis own land and 14 bales on the land he rented, four and two-thirds of which he had to pay as rent. He continued tne same policy the second year, raising six bales on his own land; the third year increased it to eight, after which he ceased to rent. He is now living on the same farm, his son James assisting him, and, in spite of four-cent cotton. is prospering. He has plenty ol rood for himself and family, almost all of his own raising. He has hogs In plen ty, as fine as yon will see In tne nortn, and has pork to eat and sell. Poultry Is easily raised, and he has chickens and eggs in abundance, and a nice garden to provide vegetables lor nis taoie. no keens from two to four milch cows, whiffh furnish the millc, cream anu dui- ter. Boon's six sons and five daughters are settled right around him, and each of them owns from 75 to 100 acres of land. The soil Is phenomenally good "delta land." as rich as the valley ot the JNiie, They were all well but plainly dressed quite a contrast to the town darky, who is usually a dude or in rags, noticed this particularly when the chil dren were dismissed from school, wnicn seemed to be largely composed of girls from ten to sixteen years of age, travel much in the south, and have seen Individuals of the negro race who have prospered. But if there is a com munity which is as thrifty and happy as the Boons, I have lanea to see ii. Beth Turner, In Chicago Inter Ocean. QUEER INSURANCE CASES. Om Mu Walked About for Six Weeks wltk a Fraetared Skull sad Dlda't Kaow It. A eood story is told of a betting man who was in the habit of regularly pur- chasinir a railway insurance ticket whenever he went on his travels. Once he failed so to do, and the train was in imminent danger. His diBgust knew no bounds. "Here have I been betting on this eomluff off all my life," he sam, "and now that it has, hanged if I'v got a bit on!" ... - 1 1 . There is one saaiy aramauo msurrj associated with an insurance ticket. A gentleman purchased one prior to starting on a journey, and, as is fre quently done, posted It home to nis wiie from the departure station. The ticket was delivered simultaneously wltn an intimation from the railway company announcing that he had lost his life in a railway accident. In the case of the Tay bridge disaster, an insurance ticket was discovered upon the body of one of the victims. The ticket had been reduced to abso lute pulp by the action of the sea water. but under a microscope the printing conld still be traced. The company thereupon admitted the claim, and duly paid over the amount of the insurance money. After the death of one victim of a railway accident his estate was proved at ,000 7s. Id. An Insurance ticket represented the "pounds column of the above figures, while his "personal estate" accounted for the remaining 7s. Id. One man in passing under a low arch way, slightly forced his hat down over his eyes, and straightway died from a fracture of the skull. It was found afterward that his headpiece was of such abnormal thinness that the slight est blow thereon at any period of his life must infallibly prove fatal. And yet he reached middle age I Another gentleman, also a policy holder, exhibited totally opposite quak Ities. He fractured his skull by a fall, but walked about In complete ignorance of the fact for six weeks. At the end of that time he became ill and died.- Hallway Magazine. "Well.
