A K?ng of Long Descent. Tko Sultan of Brun*! 1B 83 years of aire-at. least so he told me. And while lie stoops as he walks, he makes tn* appearance rather of a temporary ia valid than of an old man.

HIH expression of . benevolence suggests the late Leo XIII.-hi? smile is engaging, albeit tinged with sadness. Ills house was niling when the Ro mtjx empire had hardly ceased to crumble. His ancestorsi gave the law to a vast Eastern empire when Eu rope was but a patchwork of barbar ous cMefs, and when, after centuries, Spanish and" Portugese found their way to the Spice Islands they laid propitiating gifts at the feet of the Borneo Sultan-as vassals, humbly begging the right to live within his dominions.

Early marine observers on the snowy beach at Coney Island yester day morning had a fine glimpse of air shipping. The sun. was about an hour high, the breeze light, and the sea had just enough of a lop on to give a slightly scalloped horizon. Strung out in order from the sun track the^e were seen coming In a tern, a Haber man's sloop, a schooner with topsails drawing, and a liner making her way np the main ship channel. This lit tle fleet in the offing was held in a mirage which rifted every vessel above the horizon by about ten or twelve degrees, and left a strip of clear air beneath every water line. Thus float ing in air, they stood up the harbor on tCalr way like an argosy in the sky. AU at once something happened to 'the meteorology which had produced the vision, some invisible air current rolled athwart the line of vessels. First the liner dropped back inco the sea, then the topsail schooner, then j? the fisherman, and last of all the tern; one could almost imagine the splash, as'the ships of the air returned prosai cally to the ocean.-New York Sun. Old time "Curl Up" Skates. Few ol the present generation of skaters evor saw a pair of old fash ioned "curl up" skates or know what they are, but if they are native born their parents or grandparents can probably tell them about these old time appliances for skimming over - the ice. The boys -and girls of today have quick fastening, light and hand some skates, and in many cases keep them attached to shoes that are used j only for skating and are put on at the pond side. In the old days straps for the "curl ups" were unknown, leather thongs or stout: strings being used with a sort of "harness" to keep the skates on the feet The term "curl up" comes from the manner in which the forward end of the skate irons were .curled, extending over the toe of the foot. Doubtless many of the old folks can remember when the cheapest skates consisted only of a wood bottom for the foot and a strip of metal for an i-lce surface. These were "cheap" in . deed.--Hartford Times. DON'T TB3NK YOU. ARB OLD. A certain amount of social life ls absolutely essential to the old as well as to tue young.

RAFTERY. * nf, ??j I|I ifr I|I ?I? ?|? tfi <|> ^jn?M8Hlt^>4wfr< "Yander he comes, Mammy!" yelled the little yellow-headed, freckled, boy, running Into the rickety shanty and out again, dancing with delight A scrawny, withered, weary woman came out of the house with two dirty chil dren at her heels and behind them a half-grown, red-headed, gangling girl, with two fierce little fiery braids stick ing away from her poll. A burly man on a ragged pony came galloping down the country road. "Supper ready, Mag?" he bawled at the woman. "Supper! Why, 'tain't no mor'n 7 o'clock. What's up?" v "What's up! Everything is up! Squinty Smith has' gone an' done it right this Urne. He killed Frank Cop ley in the Hazard s'loon, put four cold uns in th* dep'ty sheriff, and- Lord knows how many he's ashot sence I left town." The children stared in awed aston ishment at this bloody news and fol lowed him round to the corral. "Well, what y'all lookin' at? Here, yon, Siss," to the red-headed girl, "get i move on you. Maria, don't stand thar all night like you was locoed. Git my supper." , "Did you see him, Hank?" . "See who?" "Why, him,. Squinty Smith?" "See him! Of course I didn't see him. If I seen him it'd be all up with him! I'd a ribbed him up with lead till he'd i-sunk his own grave. But I didn't have no gun, nohow. Sher'ff Hous man says I must jine the posse," an' I says, 'Sher'ff, if Id a-been sher'ff 'stead 3' you, I wouldn't need no posse for to ketch Squinty Smith nor no other orn ery outlaw like him.' So I didn't have ao gun, so I just come home for .'git supper an' ready up my arsenal. Git a move on thar, Siss." The red-headed girl tossed her head md disappeared into the tumble-down kitchen., The mother got busy with pot ind pan, and the man, blustering fierce ly about what "he'd a-done if he on'y had his weepons,' pulled his Winches ter out of the closet and began to slip cartridges into the magazine. "I don't want no mor'n a peep at that ?ol-dinged Squinty Smith, nohow. He allua wuz ornery, an' he otta been put outa biz a long time ago. He's had Sher'ff Housman bluffed for two year an' more, an' he's got purty nigh every man.in Plankton buffaloed! But CU show him!" The man's slatternly children stood about him in gaping admiration. The red-headed girl stuck her head in at the door and said: "What did you fetch feat, daddy?" "Dry up, you ninny; I didn't have no time to think about fe tebin' home nothin', 1 come home to git suthin'. I come home to git my weepons, an* if ever I? ketch a peep at that blamed-" At this "instant there was a sharp, rasping click at the open window and a blue barreled gun muzzle jumped into the light. "Hold up your hands, Mitchell!" said a quiet but very distinct voice. The big man at the table held up his hands with a foolish effort to smile at the face that looked over the gun. "Quit yer foolin', Smith," he said, weakly; "put it down an' come in." Squinty Smith, a bull-necked, one eyed ruffian got in at the window without foregoing an instant of his advantage. "I'll take charge of these, Mitch," he said, coolly putting hia host's pistol in to his coat pocket, "and this. Both unide-lookin' guns, but I'll take charge o' them," Mitchell sat still; his wife and Siss watching the performance from the darkness of the kitchen, while Smith walked out into the lot and deliberate ly dumped the rifle and' the pistol Into the well. "Got any more guns?" he asked, com ing back. "Nary a gun, Smithy," answered Mit chell, trying to wink knowingly to his wife. id "All right, you can let down your mitts," quoth the outlaw, "You sit that, and here, Mrs. Mitchell, you set alongside. Now make that gal o' yourn Sit me some^supper." i The scared children huddled in the lorner behind their fallen hero. The woman, fasclnat?d into submission, sat beside her husband. The outlaw, his big, blue revolver beside his plate, at tacked the pile of corn bread. Siss, the red-headed, nervous, viperish-looking Slrl, came in and out with a dish of potatoes, some fried bacon and a can 5f water. "What makes you act so foolish, Smithy?" Mitchell was whining, "ain't aothin' wrong, is they? You might a knowed I'd a give you your supper thout no such row" as that" "You mighiT and you mightn't. Got ; my eggs?" growled Smith, leering at j 3188 out of his one vindictive eye.

"Now, r,?e htfrp Mitchell," said Smith, transfixing tb? hulking cow- ! ird with his mean eve, "tain'!, no use rou lettin' on you don't k:iow.

He took his knife and fork and reached for the food, hurrying like a hungry, hunted man. . "I'll come back and blow the whole outfit into-" Siss stood irresolute an instant be side him. Her snapping blue eyes were on the pistol. Quick as a flash she grabbed it up, whisked round the table, and with the cocked weapon held in both her skinny bands and pointed full in the -bad man's face -she yelled: "Now, you Impident pup, I'm a-goin* t' frazzle you with bullets!" Smith was so astonished that he let fall his eating utensils, sat bolt upright, stiff as a lay figure, pale as his dirty hide would go, his lips hectic, his one eye starting and the sweat of rage and fear upon his mottled fore head. The little yellow haired boy crouching in the corner, began to squawl lugubriously. Mitchell and his thin wife sat and stared at the trans figured Siss. "Git up an' tie him, daddy!" she al most shrieked. "Tie him 'r I'll frazzle him over the flodr!" Mitchell looked at Smith and paused, his big hands shaking a bit. "Tie him 'r I'll frazzle the both o' you!" she roared, stamping her foot in an ecstacy of wrath. Mitchell hulked out Into the yard for a rope, but Siss, the little serpent, held her quarry motionless with the glitter of her eye and the portent of the big revolver. But Mitchell came back and the cowed outlaw was limp and weak before the untrembling hos tility of the red-headed girl. And when Mitchell's courage began to come back, and he had fixed fast the lariat about the pinched arms of Smith, there was a clatter of hoof-beats in the road. Smith nade a motion as if to rise, but the blue eye and the big gun bade him sit still. And when Sheriff Housman and his posse came galloping up Mit chell was in the road yelling: "I ketched him, sher'ff! I got him in yander tied up an' licked!"-Chic? ago Record-Herald. RELIGIOUS BARBARITY. As Manifested In'the Torture of Ani-. mais in India. - The Oriental religions have had great credit for teaching their peoples respect for the rights^ of animals and general mercy and kindness to them, and yet these religions are responsible; for cruelties horrible to read of, as for instance, the long drawing out of a lingering death of some diseased ani mal in terrible suffering, on the theory that some frightful sinner of a human soul, having grovelled so as to have transmigrated into that animal, ls re ceiving his allotted punishment. An East Indian humanitarian, Mr. Labhah ankar Lavmidas, writing from Nagar Wado, Junagad, India, a few weeks ago to Lord Minion, begged him to put a stop to the impaling alive of pigs, lambs and fowls in religious cere monies, and the killing of animals with swords, knives and spears in the hands of the populace, to make a religious holiday; and the crushing of miles long rows of tied-up goats under the wheels of a heavy chariot that is driven on the bodies of the unoffending creatures for another sort of religious ceremony. It appears that under- the compact be tween the British government and the natives the government may not inter fere with the killing of animals in the name of religion. Torture of animals means a moral degradation of the tor menters no matter how high and holy the cause may proclaim itself to ,be? whether in India, Europe or the Unit ed States.-Boston Evening Transcript, PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Helpfulness ls love in action.. Selfishness is the essence of sin. Self-adulation is not self-respect. Morality is more than a matter of negations. Love never remains where reverence has departed. The saddest thing in the world is a self-satisfied soul. The ear does as much to circulate scandal as the tongue. It's better to smile at nothing than to frown at everything. Nothing keeps people faithful better than your faith in them. It is strange that the heart Is starved when we give it neither food nor meal times. You do not have much faith in your .Euther unless you have some in his family. ''There is a good deal of apparent poverty -that needs your time more than your dime. Things do not prove themselves sac red by segregating themselves from secular concerns. Our records depend not on our great plans but the test comes when we find the particulances. No man can have a place in the kingdom of heaven who is complacent to the ills of earth. Heaven intrusts no great cargo to the vessel that spreads its sails to every wind that blows. When a man is getting fat out of the fall of others he is sure to be a warm advocate of tneir rights to fall. It is easy to talk of love for our fel lows, but the test comes when we find the particular fellow in need qf our love. Many a man will be surprised when he gets to heaven to find how large a place his little kindly deeds occupy in its history.-From Sentence Ser mons, in the Chicago Tribune. Tact in Talking. "The v/eather this morning, Miss Dora" "Oh, don't talk about the weather Mr. Happenround!
