PAW'S GOT RELIGION.
Paw's rot religion. "Who's my paw?
He's Judge Technique, attorney-at

He b'lcngs to meetin' and so does maw.
Paw got busted an' moved out "'.Vest
To run for Congress-'f his friends

Or maybe for gov'ner-at ther request.
But, Lord sakes, now don't you know
'At paw didn't have one ghost of a
show,
The weeds choked up his political row.
They all want office out West, it seems,
Old keroiudgins, boys in their teens,
And babies seek office and smile in
their dreams ;
So maw riz up an'is'jested to pop,
'At running for oftlce want no sure
crop;
An' she's s'posed it was time fer him
to stop.
Then paw read the statutes most six
weeks.
An' hung out his shingle as Judge
Technique,
An' the court hears law w'en my paw
speaks.
Some people's fools; my paw's wise;
He's got religion to advertise,
An' sits in the amen corner an' sighs.
A sly old Methody's psw Technique;
A cold water Baptist, humble acd

ls my dear maw-one day in the week.
It pays to spread out; so sister iJarire's
A Presbyterian an' sings in the c'oir
I'm an outsider-brand for the fire.
It's a bully religion 'at my paw wears
Wen he speaks in the church of his

An' tells the brethren he needs their

It's a paying religion 'at my paw

Whenever the brethren git into ther

They hires my paw to "hold their

So all the saints from churches three,
Hires my paw w'en they disagree
With wicked outsiders; catch on? See?
Paw's got religion for value received,
An' it's nobody's business what he be

Paw's got religion ; paw's got wit;

Thc True Story of a Horse.
HY EMMA C. DOWD.
"You must put Old Jim out cf
the way before I come home !"
That was the parting order of
Mr. Bardwell, as he drove away to
Poultney, on that dreary Xovembe r
morning.
The matter had been ponding fi r
weeks, and, yet the words cast a
sudden gloom over the household.
Nobody ate much breakfast, and
there was little talking.
Old Jim had been the favorite
family horse for years; but he was
now too old to be of much use, and
Farmes Bardwell could not afford
to keep him through another win
ter. Crops had been poor, and
with Jasper in college, and Tina at
boarding-school, it was all the
farmer could do to make both ende
meet. Mr. Bardwell was toe,
merciful a man to sell tho horse,
perhaps to let him be worked tc
death in a few weeks or months.
So he had come to the conclusion
that the most humane way was to
kill him outright, though it nearly
broke his heart to think of it. It
was not often that the farmer
shirked his duty, but now he had
arranged that a small bit of busi
ness should keep him in Poultney
all day, for he argued :
. "The boys will do it easier than
I could, and I shall be thankful to
have it over with."
John Bardwell knew that a
command from his father was not
to be trifled with, so after the
chores were done he brought
out his gun, saying, "If we must
do this thing, we must I suppose,
and the sooner the better. Come
on, Joseph !"
Joseph followed his brother to
the barn without a word, but
when he came to Old Jim's stall
and heard his familiar whinny, it
was all he could do to keep from
crying, big twelve year-old boy
that he was.
The spot selected for the tragic
scene was a henlock grove about
two miles from the farmhouse,
chosen because Mrs. Bardwell had
said, "If I hear that gun go off, it
will kill me !" So John and Joseph
and Old Jim plodded across th?
desolate fields toward this remott
corner of the farm.
The brothers were never boys ol
many words, and now they wer(
silent till they reached the edge
of the little woodi
There John, who had been stalk
ing ahead, paused irressolute. H<
took an apple from his pocket, aru
let the horse eat it from his hand
Then he buried his face for ?
moment in the gray mane.
'.You must do it, Joe-I can't,'
he said at last, holding out th<
gun.
"Oh, John! No, no!" ploadet
the younger boy, with a sol) in hi
voice.
"Well, somebody's got to, ant
Isha'n't! So go ahead. You cai
shoot as well as I. Only be quicl
and sure about it; that's all."
Joseph was naturally a tim it
boy, never asserting his indepen
dence, as John often did, am
without another word of remon
strance lie turned down the woo(
path, his arm around Old Jim'
neck.
John threw himself on th
ground and waited. It seemed
long time, and then the soum
came that he was dreading to hear
the sharp report of his gun. With ;
groan he covered his ears with his
hands.
Joseph said nothing when he
returned, and John could not bring
himself to ask any questions.
They were half way home when
the younger boy lagged behind.
"What J s the matter?1 ' asked
John.
"I am so tired," said Joseph ;
"and my head has ached all this
morning."
He looked really ill, and with
out more ado John took him on his
back, saying, "I am strong enough
to carry two of you," and thus
they reached home.
That was the beginning of a
long sickness for Joseph, and it
was the last of March before he
was able to be out-of-doors
again.
On tho day following the
sorrowful little journey to the
hemlock grove, there had been
a heavy snowfall, and the ground
had been covered all winter.
One day, near the first of April,
Joseph was missing. Nobody knew
where he was. At last John
discovered tracks in the snow
leading off toward the evergreen
wood, and he started to follow
them.
But he soon came to a sudden
halt as he looked ahead. There
was Joseph, and-could he believe
his eyes?-there was surely Old
Jim walking at his side ! How
well he knew thc white foot, and
the white star in the forehead!
John bounded forward, and in a
moment was covering Old Jim
with tears and caresses, while the
horse whinnied and rubbed his
head against the lad's shoulder.
"Oh John!" cried Joseph; "I
couldn't kill him that day, so I
just tied him with a little string,
and shot the gun into the air, and
there he has lived all winter, and
pawed away the snow to get the
grass;and-oh, do you suppose
father will care?"
"Care!" echoed John. "He has
said moro than once that he
would give anything to have him
bad: again. Why, ho will be the
happiest man in town." And Old
Jim lived on oats and bread and
butter and sugar and kisses the
rest of the day, and for years
afterward dwelt in comfort and
happiness on the old Vermont
farm.-Harper's Young People.
The French Broad*
The French Broad River,
' although it has but few claims,
to celebrity, size or importance.
1 has a beaut}' all its own and is
? well worthy of mention. Rising
' in the Blue Ridge Moutains of
North Carolina, celebrated for
their pricturesque and magnificent
scnery, it pursues a winding course
for about 100 miles and then
mingles with the waters of the
Ohio. The spirngs that give it
life are situated in the wildest re
cesses of the mountains still
known to sportsmen as the haunts
of the bear and deer. For the
first fifteen miles of its course it
is an ideal trout stream, with
waters clear as crystal and cold as
ice. The early spring is the proper
time to'visit this portion of it, for
then its beauty baffles description.
During the month of May the
mountain laurel and wild rhodod
endron are in full bloom, and as
the banks of the stream are fringed
with them the dark green leaves
of these shrubs, their pink
blossoms and the sparkling water
create a picture so lovely that no
eye could fail to be charmed by it.
But after rushing through many a
mountain gorge, some of which
are so narrow and deep that the
light of day never penetrates
their gloomy solitudes, the French
Broad reaches the valley below
and there its character undergoes
a complete change. It is trans
formed, as if by magic, from a
roaring torrent to a peaceful and
slow moviDg river. Its banks are
ni longer clothed with dense forest
and almost impenetrable thicket,
but covered with well kept fand
prosperous farms. One could
scarcely believe this broad stream
with hardly a ripple upon the
surface of its placid waters, to bi
the same that a few miles bael
came leaping down the mountiir
side, creat'iig many * a minaturi
waterfall and cascade in its de
scent.
However, sad to say, the Frene!
Broad boon loses its picturesqui
aspect, for the charm: ng mountair
stream deteriorates into a muddy
sluggish river, and the country
through which^it flows, although
highly cultivated and fruitful
does not bear comparison with th<
rugged grandeur of that abov<
described as embellishing the firs
few miles of its course.
Happy at Last.
Bishop Williams ol Connecticut
i s celebrated as a raconteur. H<
tells of a Canadian lady who foi
years lived unhappily with he;
husband. The man was a good
easy-going fellow, but his wife'i
tempei was ungovernable, and al
length drove him into a prematuri
grave. At his death his wife
seemed to feel great remorse for
the past, and deep mourning and
constant weeping bore testimony to
her grief. Some months after the
funeral she went to a spiritualistic
medium and was placed in
communication with the spirit of
her departed spouse. A long
conversation followed, during
which she asked : ''Are you happy
now dear husband?" "Oh, very
happy,"|ne answered. "Happier
than you were in thia w*rld?"| she
asked. '*A thousand times," was
the reply. "I'm so glad," she
said ;j"and where are you darling?"
"Oh, I'm in h-ll," came the
reply.
Proverbs of Youth.
Toothache is worst just before
school time. It disappears about
9:30 a. m. It is injurious to a
boy's health to carry a scuttleful
of coal up two flights of of stairs ;
but a football game many be
indulged in for several hours
without harmful fatigue.
Sweeping is bad for a girl's back
and arms; but dancing all the
evening is good exercise.
Whittling is a recreation ; but
picking up the chips makes the

Never study at night. It is bad
for the eyes. But one may read
fairy tales until midnight with
profit and pleasure.
A weary child should never run
errands after school time ; but he
may go a-skating until 6 o'clock,
for skating is healthful.
Practicing scales on the piano
should be avoided. It makes

HORSES FOR FIRES.
SELECTING ANO TRAINING ANIMALS
FOR FIRE ENGINES.
C-M arable Patience and a Period of
About a Month It Needed for Baw Re
cruit?-Thc Boree Plays an Important
Part at Every Fire la a Bl? City.
Of the praise which has been showered
upon the New York fire department for
the excellence of its system, the splendid
animals that haul the heavy engines and
tracks have their share. Any one who
had watched one of the crack engine
companies tearing through the street in
response to an alarm cannot have failed
to notice how the horses strained every
t?asele to cover the distance as quickly
as possible, with scarcely a touch from
the driver's whip. Some of the horses
show an almost human intelligence in
the quickness with which they respond
to the alarms sounded by the big gongs.
Nowhere can that be seen better than
in the house of Engine 1, at Chambers
and Center streets, where two horses, Jo
and Charley, hold the record for the
quickest time in getting into harness.
Horses and men have to show off fre
quently for the benefit of visitors. The
foreman sounds the gong in one of these
exhibitions, but does not release the
horses at once, as the regular alarm does
by electrical apparatus. The two big
horses, whose stalls are on either side of
the engine, strain at their halters and
jump in ?heir eagerness to get to their
places. The moment the foreman ro
ldases them by touching an electric but
ton they spring forward and duck their
heads under the collars suspended with
the rest ot* the harness from the ceil
ing and ready to be fastened about their
necks.
Sometimes the foreman snaps the col
lar beforehand to test the intelligence of
the horses. Then Jo and Charley poke
their heads through the closed collars
and struggle until they get their heads
through thom. At an actual alarm of
fire tho horses will start on the instant,
and they vie with the firemen in their
eagerness to got to the fire.
AN IMPORTANT ANIMAT?
It is plain that the horse plays just as
necessary a part tn the autonomy of the
lire department as a human member.
The more intelligent tho horse is the
quicker the engine or truck which he is
helping to haul will \H> at the scene of a
?ira Horses that enter into the spirit of
the work as heartily as the firemen aro al
most invaluable, for every moment saved
frequently counts for much in saving
rife and property, it follows that the
training of thc horses which are added
every year to the department is ns im
portant as the training of the firemen,
who must leam to handle the hose, ax
and scaling ladder with expertness. Al
though that branch of tho service ia
heard of Keldom by the general public.
Chief Bonner gives it tho strictest atten
tion, and the recruits in horseflesh have
to go through an ordeal just as severe as
that which their human allies must un
dergo.
The training stables in West Ninety
ninth street are in a quiet neighborhood
and tba new building is used also as the
department's horse hospital. Foreman
Joseph Shea', who is also Dr. Shea,' has
charge of the stables. He was grad
uated as a veterinary surgeon and has
bean connected with the department for
eleven years. His position is one of the
most important in the department. He
looks after all the sick horses in the
engine houses, and is kept busy at the
hospital with the horses laid up there.
He buys the green horses for the depart
ment, accepting them only after they
have shown their ability to do the work
required.
The commissioners allow $300 for the
purchase of each horse, and Dr. Shea
makes his selection from the big bunches
of western horses in the Bull's Head
market. He always selects a horse of
good size, generally blocky, with plenty
of muscle. The home that has speed and
strength in good proportion is the horse
that Dr. Shea is looking for constantly.
TRAINING NEW HORSES.
There are 800 horses in active service
in the department, and about fifty re
cruits have to be added each year. They
usually go np to the Ninety-ninth street
stable on trial, half a dozen at a time,
and Dr. Shea has a month in which to
accept or reject any one or all of the lot
In that time he can tell whether the
horse is likely to be of any value.
As soon as the green horses arrive
they are housed comfortably in the third
story of the stable. Three roomy box
stalls are there, too, and their doors indi
cate hard usage. "Some of those green
horses," one of the stablemen said,
"don't seem to know anything else bat
how to kick, and they do that with a
vengeance." All of the new recruits do
not take kindly to their new quarters
and still less to the training. In the
ground story the green horse gets his
first lesson. He is usually four or five
years old and barely broken to harness.
A part of the story is partitioned off for
atender or hose cart Tho customary
big fire gong is on the wall, and all of
the alarms from Morrisania to the
Battery are sounded. In stalls beside
the tenders the raw recruits are broken
in, two at a time. At first they most
become accustomed to the sound of the
big gong. Most horses are so confused
by the clanging that they are absolutely
intractable for awhile. Some never get
accustomed to the noise, and these are
rejected. In the course of a day or two
the average recruit begins to understand .
that it bears a very close relation to his
movements.-New York Sun.
Or. Holland'? Advlee.
After J. G. Holland's woman lecture
in a New England town, where emanci

gaged in the study of medicine said to

for women who have husbands and chil

who have none?"
"I say get them," answered the doc

Meaelee More Fatal Than Influente.
The mortality from measles exceeds
anything that can thus far be directly
attributed to influenza. It appears that
over 13,000 deaths from measles occur
annrp'', in England and Wales, and the
mi jf mortality has greatly increased
oaring the last decade. Why do we
take no account of it? Because, 1 sup
pose, measles is most fatal to infants,
whereas influenza chiefly carries off the
aged. We all of ns expect to grow old,
but we can none of us hope to be yoong
again. Yet the life of a healthy infant
is of more value than that of a sexage
narian who hos not strength to combat
the influenza microbe.-London Truth.

pensary, as a jeweled hand reached in
at the little window of the drug store to
take the bottles of chanty me? lie i nc*
and thrust them in the folds of an ex
pensive coat: 'it really is a strange

Danger In Stemming Flower?.
Bad effects at times attend the stem
ming of flowers; that is, the addition of
wisps to short cuttings to make needed
lengths in constructing bouquets or
large forms of decoration. In this work,
thin, threadlike wire is used for binding
the lengths together. This wire is in
pieces about six inches long and nearly
as sharp as needles. In fast work the
points are likely to run under the finger
nails or enter tho muscles of the hands.
As they are more or less rusty, an acci
dent with them calls at once for the lo
tion bottle and wrapping rags, or per
haps poultice or salt pork applications
later.
