By Cora S. Day. ? MC?t99 > "Hpv_ 'Riliv' ipt m? have a ride?" , uied a boyish voice, and Billy pulled up his handsome roan mount to speak / to his friend, who?came running down 1 the dusty country road very hastily j ' to meet him. "I'm afraid I can't, Hal," Billy answered regretfully, sorry that he eould not oblige his friend in this request. "I've just had him down to the blacksmith shop at the crossroads, and must get home and feed (him and rub him down before the doctor comes in with the machine. He wants to drive the horse this afternoon, out somewhere where he can't go in the automobile, on account of the bad, sandy roads." Hal was stroking the smooth side of the fine horse while Billy talked. Now he looked up and persisted in his request. : "But I won't hinder you. Just take me up behind, for a ride, and I'll walk back." he said. Billy saw that he would have to tie quite frank with Hal. "No. Doc- j tor Barnes raid, when I first went to help around the stable, that I Should never let any one else ride 'Arrow. So you see I really can't. I'd like to let you have a ride, but I must get him home as soon as I can, now. Crood-bye," and Billy was oft at a trot, while Hal stood at the gate and watched horse and rider until they ;were out of sight. 1 Billy was thinking deeply as he rode along. The subject was one that often occupied his thoughts, when he had the horse out for exercise, or was busy with his work about the stables at the doctor's home. ? "Too bad that Kal can't have my place at the doctor's, and I have what I want. I think ihis is a mixed up old world anyway. We get the things we don't care a snap about, and the things -ve'd give our heads for, almost, don't come our way." "Get tilong, Arrow, old fellow, I can't wait for you to eat grass to-day," and he Urged the horse into a trot. Sometimes Billy had time to let him crop fc particular fine bunch of grass, and Arrow remembered it. Into the village street they turned from the country road in a few minutes, and \ trotted down the long, straight thoroughfare. He rode past the post-office and general store, with Its porch decoration of idlers; past the pretty notion store windows, and th: town hall; and on toward the doctor's home, at the extreme other end of the street. But they di'd not get home without an interruption. A? they went on down the street, and past several houses, El'.ly saw ahead the familiar automobile of his employer standing in front of a house. "Wonder who is sick at Harris'?" he thought, and glanced again at the car as he neared it. "Hello, doctor has Myrtle out with him," he added as he saw the golden head of the ctoctor's little girl over the back of the seat. Myrtle saw hin; at the same instant, turning around at the sound v of hoofs i/i the street. She smiled and waved her chubby hand as he passed, and hj waved back, for they .were very good friends. Almost as soon as he had gone past the car this happened. He heard it start and looked back, expecting tr? can t Vi in V* i e caot rxrifV* V?it? hand on the lever; but he saw instead Myrtle, grasping it with chubby fingers, laughing mischievously, her curls tossed back and her face alight .with daring. Bill gave one gasp, and pulled the roan around so suddenly that he .wheeled on two feet Even as he did so, the big car gained headway, and the child in it. realizing something o? her danger, but ignorant how to avert it. or stop the car, screamed helplessly, "Oh, Billy, come, make it stop, quick!" Even ax she spoke the machine passed the boy and horse, running so smoothly and swiftly that he paled at the danger before the child. The thought came: "If he had made me chauffeur, instead of stable boy, as I wanted him to do, this would not have happened." For only the day before, the man who had held that nnsitinr?the rrtaee Billv wanted with i all his machinery-loving heart?had been discharged for drunkenness. Then cane the plan. Quick as a flash he urged the roan after the machine, kicking his feet free of the stirrups as he neared the automobile. The car ran faster and faster?what he was going to try, must be done quickly. And then the doctor came out just in time to see what Billy was going to do, and to stand breathless while his child in tne Dig car. ami ms stable boy on the splendid roan horse ran the race that was the talk of thf village for mouths afterward. When Billy was abrehst of the car ?and i; took good work on the i^aK o? both horse and rider to achieve J that?he called to the terror-stricken little offender: ' Get over on one side?quick? | make room for me?I'm going ta jump." And as she crept away to : the other side, he leaped from the I back of the running horse and fell I all i(i heap?but in the car. It was but the work of a moment to gather himself up and reverse the lever. The next moment he had the steering wheel in his hand, aud had the car turned, and then ran back to where a wildly excited group stood and waited, with the frantic father. Arrow slackened his speed gradually, and when he quite understood that his rider had suddenly disappeared, he stopped and cropped an especially, fine bunch of grass with supreme indifference to races or runaway cars. "I would like to do something to show you how I appreciate your act, and the courage and quickness of thought that it showed." said the doctor to Billy in a talk that was exceedingly uncomfortable, and yet pleasant, to that praise-shunning young man. And at that, Billy's eves suddenly brightened, and he spoke: "If you would let me run the machine for you, instead of getting an- i other man. as you said you were going to do?" he began. "I know all about it, sir. I've studied it up, every spare minute since I've been here. I thought if I ever got a chance to run one?I've always been crazy over machinery, sir, and?" And then the doctor put a few questions that settled the matter. "You shall run it for me from this day, until you get something better," the doctor caid quietly. "And, it you care.to study machinery?if you have any desire to make an expert of yourself?I have a brother in that line of business, and I think we can arrange to lei you learn all you want about wheels r.nd things." Then all at once Billy realized that this is not such a mixed up old world; after all; and that if a fellow is faithful in what he has to do, and what com:- t:> him, even suddenly and unexpectedly, there may be chances for him to get what he wants with all his heart?that the things he "would give his head for," as he had put it. were, after all, some of them, apt to come his way.?Young People's Paner. DON'T CUT YOUR SLEEP SHORT. British Scientists Frown On the Wellington Rule. The papers read in the physiological section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science discussing sleep and rest were all opposed to the old idea that mankind should be content with short slumber. The Duke of Wellington's dictum of sit hours for a man, seven for a woman and eight for a fool went by the board. Francis Dyke Acland urged the necessity for plenty of sleep for the young as necessary to their bodily and mental development. He said that most of a boy's growth was done in bed. He quoted a letter from the head master of a large school, where the breakfast hour had been changed from 7 to 8 o'clock, as saying that the who'le school was brighter and doing better work. Dr. Gotch said that the healthiest sleep was dreamless. He mentioned Lord Kitchener's faculty of being able to go into dreamless sleep at any, moment. Professor Lewis said that the normal sleep of a laboring man during ihe first half hour was very deep and then grew shallower. Professor Meyers related his own experience with a German doctor. He arranged to be awakened after a half hour to see what his mental condition was. He seT himself several problems in arithmetic. The next day he was awakened after an hour's sleep, and so on, increasing his time for sleep by an hour a day until he got six hours. He found his ability in connection with arithmetic as great after an hour's sleep as after six hours. When, however, he came to try another test this one completely broke down. In trying to test his memory he found it grew in proportion to the number of hours of sleep he took. Bootjacks Among the Sunflowers. It is popularly supposed that the bootjack has disappeared from the common articles of household use as completely as the candle snuffers and the warming pan. But this is not j-- _ ? tr t true in some pans ui jcvuuscis. xu Smith County they are numerous. Why they should still continue in existence in the vicinity of Smith Centre while at Mankato not one is to be found is explained by the prevalence of the old fashioned custom of wearing boots at the former place. Many, bootjacks may be found hanging behind the kitchen stove in the farmhouses in that vicinity. The oldest one was made in Wisconsin in 1851, and is owned and used by G. W.

DEATH OF GEM. TREPBFF, MOST HATED 1SS1 Marked For Assassination, Sail to Have Died Naturally. A MERCILESS REACTIONARY Son of a Foundling, He Eccamc th< Strength of the Czar, and Prac tical Dictator of Russia-?Rulec With a Rod of Iron. St. Petersburg, Russia. ? Genera Dmitri Feodorovich Trepoff, Com inandant of the Imperial Palace, diec in his villa at Peterhof, of angim pectoris. General Trepoff would have beei fifty-one years old on December 15. Though for two years he was con stantly living under the threat of as sassination, with even members ol his own family among those seeking to take his life, General Trepoff's death was due to natural causes. But the revolutionists can at leasl claim part of the responsibility foi his end, as his illness was superinduced by the constant strain due tc perpetual fear of death, which, with lack of exercise and recreation during the last two yiars, wore down his originally strong constitution. H? had become so nervous of late thai recently, when a military attache ol a continental power was unexpectedly ushered into his room. General Treooff snrane to his feet and stood in an attitude of defense, but when he recognized his visitor he sank into his chair almo3t unnerved. General Trepoff unquestionably was one of the strongest figures oi the present epoch. He was equipped with sound common sense unusual in Russian political men. This, together with his almost perfect information as to the exact condition of the country and its liability to explosion induced him to take the Liberal side, and on a number of occasions to advocate concessions when his weakei and less posted colleagues urged the Emperor to perilous measures. This especially was the case during the deliberation over M. Bouligin's Parliamentary project. So unalterably were the Terrorists determined upon the assassination ol General Trepoff, "the worst hated man in Russiu," that notwithstanding the official announcement that he died from heart disease, there is room for the suspicion that his enemies succeeded in their plot to end his life by poison. Only three weeks ago a report went abroad that his food had been tampered with, and that in consequence his cook and several servants of his household had been arrested. Moreover, it is remembered that last year, when as Assistant Minister of the Interior he was ruling St. Petersburg with a rod of iron, he was warned by the Revolutionaries that he was marked for assassination, but might walk the streets in safety. "Your sentence will be executed in your own room," they wrote him. "You will die in your bei." General Trepoff had passed all his life fighting the reform movement, as had his father before him. His name is coupled with that of PobiedonostfPrA/>iirQtnr r?F thp OV^IX , IUC iOi i. t VVU* MbWI V*. vuv Holy Synod, as typifying the very spirit of reaction. He came from an unknown family. His father was a foundling, whose parents were never known. He was found upon the back doorstep of a German family, by whom he was taken in, and the name of Trepphof (German for doorstep) was bestowed upon him for the place where he was found. He entered the Russian service as an agent of the famous "Third Section." MEXICO AFTER ROAD? Belief That She May Buy Central to Control Rates. Mexico City.?It is generally understood that one of the principal objects of FinanceMinister Limontour's trip to Europe is to bring about the acquisition of the Mexican Central Railway by the Mexican Government. This supposition is strengthened by the fact that Vice-President Richards, of the Central, has also gone to Paris. The acquisition of the railroad would have great political significance, as it is believed here to be the only way that the roads can be regulated in order to avoid discrimination in rates. ?"\ 14-s-i** A furtcfnrl UtlUii i^L'iauuii atiwhvvii Thomas W.

The boat was small and the sea ran high. I The night was particularly dark t and there was a strr&g wind blowing. The boat became disabled, and, drifting about near Hoffman Island, * was struck by a scow in tow of a tug. The occupants of the sloop were . thrown into the water. Five of the party, three men and two women, were rescued. One man s E was picked up by a boat from the t ; incoming liner El Paso, three othera c , were taken aboard a tug, and the fifth escaped drowning in a more r ; marvelous way.

Hongkong.?A cylclonic storm of rresistible violence broke over this :ity in the early forenoon, spending ts fury for two hours uyin the har>or and the water front. Several lundred persons perished, more than wenty-one ships and sailing vessels, ncluding ocean liners and war vesels of different nations, were vrecked or badly damaged, the loss >n water and land amounting to many nilllons. The visitation was the typhoon of he China Sea. exactly the rotatory vind storm of the Central Mississippi 'alley of the United States, and had i velocity of more than 100 miles an lour. Its power was so great that in in instant it had cast great ships up nto the city streets crashing through mildings and mowing them down as hough from the onslaught of thous.nds of cannon balls. Although the barometer was low, i condition that always precedes the yphoon, but is only infrequently folowed by one, there was no thought if the coming of the whirling hurri ;?tue. uuuer urumary preuauuuus he usual harbor work was in process when the storm struck the shipiing without warning.
