WRITER RECALLS THE DELIGHTS OF HIS BOYHOOD. Caret) v21 When Life Was, More Or Less, One Continual Round of Joy Particu lar Pleasure In Teaching the Calf to Drink. Yes, sir! Doybod'n happy days, of course. We know about that. We haven't forgotten the Joy of sleepiug In an unfinished loft in winter, when our breath froze to the bedding and we had to thaw out with a hot flatiron every morning. Morning, too! We got up at four a m., pitch dark, 84 below zero, and still going, down! We had to get up, hustle out and feed and milk the low ing herd, curry the rear elevation of the family mule, wake the rooster up to crow, thaw out the pump, chop four cords of wood and shovel away the snow to make room for the sun to rise! Sometimes we went to school in the winter not often. Only on the days when it was too cold and stormy to go outdoors. Then we sat on a nice, cool board about 50 feet away from the stove and gayly blew at our fin gers and picked icicles from our hair. And, as we sat, we listened to a wood en image with a teacher's license as he handed us misinformation and per manently crippled our Intellects. Then came the merry springtime! Rise at 2:30 a. m. More lowing herd! The herd lowing owing to the supply of fodder being low. Then the hired man, who had hibernated in the for est, came forth seeking whom he might make happy with his presence. And we, being In need of extra Joy, were allowed to sleep with this wool ly hireling, who snored like the boom of the sad sea waves. He was a good fellow, this hired man. He taught us to chew tobacco and swear. These gentle pastimes procured us more vio lent lickings than any other Joy in our whole young life. No memory is more loaded with Joy germs than the spring crop-working. Can we ever forget the plowing? How we held the plow when we had to reach up with a pike pole to get the handles; how we drove the old plug team, with the lines around our neck; how, when the clevis broke, the mares walked away with our frail body drag ging behind by the ears? When dark ness came we stabled the plugs and went forth to milk the brlndle heifer. The heifer kicked us across the barn floor and an old cow obligingly kicked us back again. Then, when the milk ing was over, what fun to turn in and teach a fool.calf to drink! This act ing as dry nurse to a bandy-legged calf was one of the most unmixed Joys of all. We tied the calf short, set the bucket in front of him, got astraddle of his neck, stuck two fingers in his mouth, and with the other hand Jammed his head into tho pail. And all the time we were emptying out abuse on calves in general and this lop-eared idiot In particular. This went on until dad came in and with loving patience horsewhipped us all about the place. Then, when we had carried In the wood, brought 40 gallons of water from the spring and eaten about eight pounds of solid food, we went Joyfully upstairs and came down again imme diately to breakfast We often dream and wake to weep for the days gone by when the hay was ripe. We recall the old swamp that always had to be cut by hand. We recall little stones that we rasped the edge of our blades on. We recall the pretty snakes we stepped on with our bare feet. We remember it all with solemn gladness. Well, well! How It all comes back to us! Chicago Daily News. The Heart of a Child. That which disparages us and quickens revolt is no less a factor In a child's emotional life. But there Is this difference. We have the better opportunity to defend ourselves and to obtain reparation.. So there is a certain pathetic, pleasure in standing with humanity where Its Joys, long ings, its embarrassments and its disappointments are simplest and newest, and, perforce, where impo tency Is absolute. Give me this most uncommercial, this divlnest, of enterprises for my own! Give me a child to be at home with, to be in absolute confidence with! If I cannot refashion my warped, wrinkled and discolored old soul Into the unbiased graces and the ethereal purity of the spirit of the child, let me now and again open that little door and shut myself In that lit tle heart, Just for the sheer delight of It. Patterson Du Bols, In Success Magazine. Begging Letter Writer. The ingenuity of the begging letter writer was illustrated anew by a story told by the bishop of Salford (Eng.) recently. Dr. Casartelli told the Dante society that there were both advantages anl disadvantages In having an Italian name. "This morn lug," he said, "I received a begging letter from an impecunious Jrlshman, who said he had noticed my name was Italian. He Appealed to me to support himself and his family 'be cause I myself happened to be born on the birthday of the king of Italy.'" Safety Assured.

Rev. Mlnot J. Savage, until last April pastor of the Church of the Messiah In New York and one of the most conspicuous Unitarian ministers In the world. Is now In a private sanitarium near Cleveland and in a serious condition. His friends hope that his life may be spared, but, he Is so weak and the strain on his mind has been such that It la feared he will not recover. Dr. Savage is 63 years old and had held the pastorate of the New York church- for many years. He became noted as the most forceful Unitarian minister In the country and his reputa tion extended abroad. As head of his large church his labors were heavy and a year ago his physicians advised him that, tired in body and mind, he needed a rest. He would not listen to their advice, but .. . , . . , last April he found that he could no longer stand the strain of his work and he resigned. He sought rest for his tired nerves In California, where in earlier years he had held pastorates as an orthodox minister. He remained there several weeks, but did not seem to be benefited. He then went to Cleveland. Dr. Savage started as a Congregatlonallst, but In a few years Joined thi Unitarian church, becoming pastor of a church of that denomination In Chi cago in 1873. In 1874 he went to the Church of the Unity, In Iloston, where he was pastor until 1896. In that time he became widely known. In 1891 he accepted the call to the Church of the Messiah, in Cleveland. Of lati years Dr. Savage had become much Interested In the study of supernorma phenomena and In the theories of Flammarlon and other spiritualists Manjl of his congregation were not in accord with him regarding these doctrines' but the harmonious nature of his relations with them was not disturbed. FINDING NO BOOTY, . ROBBER STOLE KISS Jovial Highwayman Saluted the Pretty Victim and Was Satisfied with His Compensation. Oakland, Cal. The experience un dergone by Mrs. N. J. Williams was not altogether unpleasant," although It was not one she would care to go through again. It was an adventure with a highwayman, who, finding that the Bum of money she had was not worth taking, chucked her under the chin but let her tell her own story. "The robber," says Mrs. Williams, who Is a pretty blonde, "seemed to take the whole affair as a Joke, laugh ing when ho found I possessed no val uables, and departing after a stolen kiss, with a cheery 'Good-night, girlie.'

He had his slouch hat pulled down over his eyes, and his coat collar turned up over his r-hln, so that little of his face was visible. He was a very large man, at least six feet tall, and weighed probably 200 pounds, but his outlines suggested nobody I knew. "I handed over my purse, and he opened It. A quarter was all there was In It, and he asked me If I had any more. I said 'No.' j "At that he burst out laughing, say ing: 'Well, then, I don't want It,' and handed back the purse. Then he asked me if I had any rings. I told him No,' and he laughed boisterously, as If It was a good Joke. Then he took hold of me and turned the side of my head to the light to see if I had ear rings. "I was almost ready to faint, and thought of Bcreaming, but was afraid he would kill me. When he satisfied himself that I had no more valuables he threw one arm about my neck and bent me backward. I thought he was SENATOR HAD DATES MIXED.

It was one of the cabinet dinners that were given by the sec retary of the. interior and Mrs. Hitch cock three years ago. The Dresideat and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived In dee time, as did all- the other guests ex cept Senator Cockrell. After a delay of almost an hour Mrs. Hitchcock Invited her guests U the dining-room and dispatched a messenger to the residence of Seaa tor Cockrell to make Inquiries. Great fear was felt that the MIssourlan had started and had fallen by the way, as the day was a cold and wintry on. The fact was, however, that the see ator was sitting quietly at home whea the messenger got there, clad in ais dressing gown and slippers and coa gratulatlng himself that he could k Indoors.
