How- Milly Was Faithful ?A\id then-the robbers told him that if bc didti^t tell them how to open the safe they should shoot him." v ?Ot?lhe poor cashier! wasn't it ir ?a?ne?ai he had to tel! f exclaim r1?^l?ltyJ.who .was listening breath? less to, lne. story Uncle Joe was tell? ing mamma of what he bad read in the' morning paper. "~-s?e*&&~not Jiave to tell, Milly/' said uncle Joe . very gently. 'For though nobody would have blamed h?iBf tor telling when his life was threatened, he didn't tell. Ile had been left to guard other people's money in tbe big safe, and he would not betray his trust, though none of "t5e people whose money was there would have expected or wished him to sacrifice his life for it. Se did*nt teUJ,<; .:: . . *?ut what did he do, uncle Joe?' ?He* was shot/ '0 Joe ? how terrible !' exclaimed mamma, her face white with the hor? ror of it. But Milly's eyes shone. *0 uncle Joe !' what a splendid, splendid.man ! I would give anything to do something as good as that !' 9 'Perhaps -when I grow np,' said six-year-old Harold who was listen ifng 'too, 'I shall be a cashier and taker*care-of people's money like *res,^said Milly, mournfully. 'Per? haps yotf will, for- you will be a man. JSofc ?X ^8ball never have a chance. |^i???y?r js^girl. I can't even earn any money/ she added plaintively. *0 yes, you can earn money,' said ttBcjte. Joe, anxious to brighten up toefscene a little. *l came over this morning oh purpoae to see if you ? nd Harold didn't want to herd my cheep forme. Henry is going to leave next week and I don't know where to ; turn for a herder. If you and ..Harold like to try it, Milly, 1 wHl give you ten dollars a month, the sanie that I 'gave Henry.' ,4 ;realfy think they might do it, Ellen/vhe added, turning to mamma, who looked a little doubtful at the ide^ of six year-old Harold and e?ght year^old Milly undertaking the care of eight hundred sheep alt day. The children were so eager to try that at last mamma consented. For it was beautiful weather just then . ?u?fiq$ItB?f Western prarie, and hard? ly'finie for lessons to begin. The ^Ml^en were really restless for some "tbm? to do, and it would do them no h??m tor/e?i that they werebegi ning %Ptfe* wiai-every vue ought to be iu some form or other-a worker. And sp they began looking after I uncle Joe's herd. : It may seem to you a verj*imp!e.and.easy thing to . do, just^^?a&hrJa flock of sheep silly, slow things that they are-nib? bling away at the short grass con? tentedly and seeming to move about euob a little way. But in reality they m?ge Ijfefer than you think, and when they arer?u ? large mass together, it is barcLfot even two people to keep both ends of the herd out of mischief. For they must not stray too far away, end of all things they must not get into the neighbor's corn ! I have known strong young men to come back at night >from watching a flock ?psfceep footsore; . ( B&tlt was pleasant out on the beau? tiful flower-strewn prairie, and Milly and Harold were both used to run Ding, and with the thought of the precious ten dollars at the end of filler ^aonth,,-their-little faces' kept ' ^nghf and their little hearts undaunt? ed. Milly, it is true, was getting jost a little tired ; for Harold was so little, and could not always under? standably be must run whether he was twetfcor not, and she knew she ? U3t not expect him to be very con? scientious about it. Of course, she understood it ; she was eight;- that was old enough to understand that one mustn't be tired if one has prom? ised to do anything ; and she wouid not for the world disappoint what uncle. Joe and mamma expected of her. Uncle Joe had trusted her and mamma had let her 1 and there would be ten dollars by and-by. But one day site did feel very tfcecL It was very warm, and she thouglit it would rest her ever so much jast to sit down a few minutes and take off her shoes and stockings. The sheep were very quiet and did not look as if they were moving a bit. There was no tree that she could f?e down under, but it was so nice just to sit still a few minutes and take v?- her tight shoes and Stockings. But all at once she saw that the sheep at the other end of the heid were making slowly but very steadi? ly for/Mr. Winfield's corn. For Mr. Winfield's corn I that would be the worst of all. It was bad enough when the sheep strayed off on the prairie and they had to run so far and so fa6t to head them off, with all the distance to walk back again ; but if they got into somebody else's corn ? O dear ! What should she do ! *B.un, Harold, run !' But little Harold was tired and moved on very slowly. Of course, he was only six ! how could he un? derstand what Mr. Winfield would say and think if they let uncle Joe's sheep trample Iiis corn ! ?he -.vas eight and of course she understood. In a second she was skimming over the prarie in her bare feet, seeing j nothing, hearing nothing; feeling nothing; intent only on saving Mr. Winfield's corn. Of course she saved it, and turned the naughty sheep towards home again ; only when she had done that did she be? come conscious not only that she was out of breath and very warm and very, very tired, but that something hurt her ! * '0 Harold !' she exclaimed as she sauk down on the gras?, 'Fm afraid I can't walk V Do you know what a Cockle-bur is ? Perhaps some time you have felt one it) the grass prick through even your dainty little boot. If you have, I am very sure that you sat down at once, with tears in your eyes even if you were brave enough not to let them fall; and pulled out tho bur and took off the dainty boot to be sure j no "prickers'7 had been left in the tender flesh, and rested the little foot and limped carefully home to be sympathized with most - tenderly by all who, know what a disagreeable thing a cockle-bur is. This little girl had Tun barefoot over a strip of ground that was full of them, and had not even known it while the ! neighbor's corn was in danger ! As she said herself, when.at last they ! got her home and her mamma with I tears and sobs dressed and tended the poor little feet that I may as well tell yon now had to be carefully dressed and tended not only for days but for weeks. 'Why, mamma, I didn't know I was in the prickers till they began to prick V And we. who^know that they must hav?'began ta prick" long before the little* giri intent on being faithful not only to uncle Joe who trusted her, but to Mr.' Winfield who did not know anything about her, feel sure that Milly is one of those who, faith? ful over 'a few things/ will never be found unfaithful to any. trust, however great. And you must not think she was faithful because she stopped to think about it and remind herself that she ought to be faithful and so decided that she would be. It was the beau? tiful unconsciousness about it that made her faithfulness something so good for us to know. It never oc? curred to her that she could do any? thing else but run, whatever might be iu her way, if the corn were in danger. She will probably read this little story with puzzled brow and think, 'What cfo they mean ? I wasn't faithful about anything; I only took care of the sheep and was so silly that I took off my shoes and stockings and got my feet full of; cockle-burs so that I couldn't herd ] any more.7 I almost hate myself to. say so much about it, lest I should seem to be making it a wonderful ] thing to be faithful. For I have never forgotten the lesson taught me by one of my own children, who, I when ? was laying great emphasis j on the fact of Washington's goodness ; in never having told a lie, asked me | in great surprise, 'Why, mamma, nobody tells lies, do they V Certain ty I hope you and I would have been j just as faithful as Milly was ; but j after all it is pleasant to hear about it ? every time that any one does what is simply right. You know that Mr. Longfellow said : -Where'er a noble deed is wronght, Where'er is spoken a noble thought, Oar hearts io glad surprise To higher" levels rise. As for Milly herself, I don't be- : Heve we can spoil her by praising her. It is a good thing to tell peo? ple pleasant things about themselves if they are true things-Alice Wel? lington Rollins, in Wide Awake. Family Registers. ? ' Nearly all have their portfolios and scrap books, but how many of us have ! a family register '? The family enron- i idea have mostly been confined to the mere entry of the births, marriages, and,deaths of one section of the fam? ily only within the covers of a family Bible. But the idea is to keep not only these events, but every item of interest and impoi tance in the whole family connection. This could be kept by one branch of the family with but little trouble, if all, when they found any tiling interesting, would but send it on to the keeper of the book. Such a book when filled would be ex? tremely interesting to be handed down as an heirloom from one <re.uer ation to another. Has it ever occur? red to .you that as one by one- our relatives pass away,, but little is re? membered of their past lives and his? j tories ? The keeping of such a fam- j ily register would bring before the minds of the survivors of a family the events of deepest interest in their family's history-events that would point great lessons, and prepare the feet of the traveler still journeying through life to tread more securely ; to beware of the rough places trod by his ancestor?, and perhaps serve as an incentive to climb still higher. The leaves could be interspersed with family pictures, sketches, and souve? nirs of family history.-Detroit Free Pms Tommy Gets the Facts In. As young Smithers moved out the card-table he asked, casually : 4 Where is that bright-red table-cover you used to have? i always iiked that.' 'You wouldn't like it now," inter? posed little Tommy. .Tommy,' said is sister Clara, 'run away and play, there's a dear.' '1 won't,' answered Tommy; 'Sif? ter s ?-' 'Sh ? Tommy, hush.' 'Won't!' answered Tommy again. And, as he was hustled from the room, he yelled : 'Sister's made a petticoat outen that table-cloth.'-TJ-jSton Ram? bler.

They should not l-e neglected for an hour. A remedy that will cheek them promptly is 1 ou? that should be kept in a place of honor j ia every household. Edward L. Wilson, the distinguished traveler and lecturer, 1125 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa., recently "wrote to Starkey & Palen, 1529 Areh'Street, in that city :-"Compound Oxygen has made me well but I always keep it in my family. I rely on it in cases of sudden cold, for I found it invaluable last winter in New Orleans for such use." Home Treatments are sent to all parts of "the country. Mere than thirty thousand have found place in as many house? holds. The efficacy of this treatment in curing Consumption, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Neuralgia and Rheumatism is fully establish? ed.

The following are selected from many sim? ilar ones ; DE. h. C. KENNEDY, of Spartanburg, writes the Proprietors : "The remedial qual? ities of Glenn Springs ? have known for over forty years, and can attest to its value in Dyspepsia from gastric or fnnctionnl derange ! ment of the Liver. General Debility, Dropsical Effusions. Uterine Irregularity and Affections of the Kidneys and S'adder. To the last dis? eases I would particularly call attention, as the waters have shown large curative powers in these complaints." DR. O. B. MAYE?., of Newberry, S. C. says: "I have sent more than fifty persons suffering with Jaundice to these Springs, and have never been disappointed in any case; they all speedily recovered. I cannot find words to express my confidence in the Glenn Springs water, as a remedy for the Liver, when functionally deranged. Dyspepsia, Dropsy, certain skin diseases, troubles in the Kidneys and Spleen, if produced by the Liver, have all, as I know, disappeared at the Springs/' DR. JAMES MCINTOSH, President of the Med? ical Association o? South Carolina, ia his an? nual address before that body remarks: "Glenn Springs, for diseases of the Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, deserves to ra?k with any ether on the continent," PRICE OF WATER.

A WELL TRIED TREATMENT For Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Hay Fever, Headache, Debility, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and all Chronic and Nervous Disorders. When 'Compound Oxygen' is inhaled, the heart has imparted to it increased vitality. That organ sends forth the blood with more force and less wp.tr to itself; the vital cur? rents leave on their circuit new deposits of vital loree in every cell of tissue over which they pass, and return again to the lungs for a new supply. This isa rational explanation of the greatest advance medical science has yet made. 'Tho Compound Oxygen Treatment,' Ors. Starkey & Palen; No. 1329 Arch Street, Phil? adelphia, have been using for the last sixteen years, isa scientific adjustment of the elements of Oxygen and Nitrogen magnetized, and the compound is so condensed and made portable that it is sent all over the world.
