On the day The Boy was eleven years old ho visited an artist friend who likes boys. Tho artist entertained him royally. He gave him a gun and cigarette coupons worth $2.50. The Boy was proud of the gun, but he thought still more of the coupons. "What are you going to get with them, son?" asked The Boy's mother. "1 don't know," said The Boy. His mother was ahont to offer a few suggestions but The Boy's father Interfered. "Just you let Boh alone, he said "I.et him pick out his own prize. He knows what he wants." "But he'll get something foolish," argued the practical mother. "No, he won't," said tho father. "That boy's got the best judgment of any hoy I ever saw. He won't throw his money away. He'll come home with something useful?something II:at he needs right on the spot. 1 wouldn't he afraid to bet on that." i So the mother finally gave In. On Saturday The Boy went down town to exchange his coupons for a prize. \Vh< n he came home the family was gathered at the dinner table talking about him. "Come, dear." said his mother, "show mama what her little bcty got." They sat expectant while the boy enwrapped his prize. After a little they spoke. The mother said, "Oh! oh! oh!" and the father said, "Well, I'll be blessed!'" The boy had bought a razor. WANTED TO SLEEP. (}urloas Vh?t a Tired i'raacliar Should Have Such Desire.

These forests are still the haunts of wild beasts, the remains of the great throngs that used to swarm about the base of tlu mountains, having their homes in the dark caverns and wild glens where the sunlight never penetrated. Hardly any save the feet of the hunter press the mossy carpet of these forests now, but the wild denizens thereof are becoming less numerous every year, and the time is not far distant when, like the savages who once made their homes here, they will be gone forever. With this (ouch of a prelude 1 come to the story I set out to tell. One day in midsummer I set out on a tishing excursion into these wild woods. I knew of a stream that was famous for its trout, and in anticipation saw myself returning at nightfall with a huge string of the speckled beauties. Taking a rude path which had been cut out l?y lumbermen some years before. and which led along the hank of the stream, I followed It to its end before 1 cast a line Into the water. I knew that thus far the strnnm im.i been repeatedly fished over, and that there was little use for mo to try my lurk there. Onee in the deep solitude of the forest, where the echo of the woodman's ax had never been heard. 1 felt sure of mooting abundant success. I found that in these expectations 1 was not mistaken. No sooner had I east my line into the stream than a half dozen of the tinny tribe were struggling to cntcli the bait. For hours 1 went up on the stream, having as glorinos sport as ever delighted the h <art of a fisherman. It was not until the hour of noon was well past that I began to think of giving over my work and turning back. I had already in hand a tine string of trout. Taken altogether, they were noble fellows, r.ml made about as big a load as I wished to carry back over the rough way which lay between me end the end of the logging road. With a sigh, I erased tlie sport, and doing up my fishing tackle, i clambered up the steep rank which liorde wl the stream, and sitting down at the foot of a large hemlock, I proceeded to count my treasures and to take a little rest before setting out on my return. The day was warm and I wns morn fa tinned tluiti I lia?l thought; nud after finishing tlio count 1 lay hark upon the earth, and before I was aware of what I was doing I had dropped off Into a nap. How long I had slept I knew not. but I was awakened at length by a sound that sent a thrill through my entire being sueli as I bad never experienced before. It was the ominous warning of a rattlesnake. I know not why it was, but even in the midst of my fright I had the presence of mind to lie perfectly still. The sound told me that the snake was close at hand, and that the slightest motion on my part would be a signal for my destruction. I The first frightened glance T gave | about me showed the hideous reptile i close by my side. Two-thirds of its length lay in glistening colls, and from the centre the head uprose to an attitude of nearly two feet from the earth. Its eyes were glistening like coals of fire, and from its wide-open Jaws the long forked tongue protruded, showing that It was fearfully enraged. \X*l?n * l.?1 * tA. A- % I nun iiriMisrii n hi sucu n passion I could not conceive, for as yet I hud not made tie slightest motion whereby, to anger it. You can imagine the fear which pervaded my entire being. A terrible death Stared me in the face from which there seemed no possible way of escape. I dared not tlx my gaze upon the snake for even a moment at a time. I was afraid of being charmed by It, and I knew thut if brought under this baleful Influence my doom was sealed. Hut at length I became conscious that the serpent was not trying Its hypnotic Influence upon me. Its eyes seemed to be tlxed on some object beyond. What could It be? So far as I knew there was no other living creature wear us. Hut I was not long kept In suspense. A deep growl fell upon my ear, startling me almost as much as the shrill rattle of the snake had done when it a wo We uie. In this new surprise I forgot my caution, and that any movement on my part might hasten my destruction, and so turned my head to see whence this new danger came. As I did so my eyes fell upon a huge bear standing within n dozen feet of me. In n moment I comprehended why it was that I was indebted to the presence of this new visitor. Bears are extremely fond of flsli, and. being possessed of a keen scent, bruin had beeu attracted thither by my trout, upon which he longed to make a feast. They were lying close by my side, and as yet the brute had not dared to approach near enough to seize them. Perhaps it had been the snake which thus far had kept him at bay. The eyes of the brute changed rapidly from the object of ids contemplated feast to the serpent, giving it but little time to pay much attention to me. The moments I 'ay there in this terrible suspense seemed an age. Each second I expected to feel the . fangs of the serpent inserted in my flesh, and at the same time, perhaps the claws of the enraged beast. They were ready to attack each other. and the battleground might be my defenseless body. My fears proved correct. The bear made a spring and passed directly over me m|k>ii its antagonist. The snake was ready for the battle, and met its enemy with a puncture of its fangs, which perhaps did not prove fatal, owing to the tough hide and thick fur of the bear. Another moment and the brute had torn the reptile asunder, and in its rage, not content with this, went ou rending it to fragments. I sprang to my feet and flew from the spot. The bear uttered a growl as I did so, but did not attempt to follow. It was not yet through with punishing one enemy. I left my trout behind me, thankful to escape with this slight loss. The bear had been the means of saving my life, and he was welcome to the iisli for the good turn he had dose me.?New York Weekly. In a (inod Cau?r.

One pretty maid after ainflnier brought him the remains of chocolate cakes. The strawberry boxes were cleaned down to the smallest pink stains. Still Bob ate and smiled. Finally, when there was nothing more to eat, the lady came into the room and prepared to pay for Rob's supper. The treasurer made out the check. It amounted to two dollars and twenty-five cents. Bob's patron looked surprised, but said nothing, and opened her purse. Bob stood beside her, wiping his mouth, and shifting from one foot to the other. "Thank you very much, miss," he said.
