Schools Out.
Boys and girls
Come out to play,
Put book and slate

Come with a call,
Vome with a good-will,
Come one and all.

Out in the meadows
Beneath the warm sun,
Rip'ning and waiting
For children to come;
Put book, and slate, and study awny,
Vacation's here, it's time for plav.

Patty's Swarm.
One day Patty ran into the house
with her yellow hair a tumble, and her
blue eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Mother, O mother," she cried, her
little brown hands fluttering like the
wings of a bird, "the bees are swarm
ing."
"Sure?" asked hor mother, doubt
fully. For, you see, Patty was the
least bit in the world like the boy in
the fable who cried "Wolf! wolf!"
when there, was no wolf. Not that
she meant to he, but so many bees
would fly about making such a buzzing
in the warm spring suushine, that
Patty was often quite certain that they
were swarming, when they hadn't any
idea of it. And that is why Patty's
mother asked in a doubtful way,
"Sure ?"
"Yes'm," said Patty meekly.
Her mother stepped to the door.
True enough, there was a roar like
that of a very small waterfall in the
air, and over the bee-hives floated a
little black cloud.
"I do believe they are," she said.
"But they're not all out yet, 1 guess,
and will not begin to light for some
little time. Run down to Mr. Jessop's,
Patty, and tell your father—no, I'll
go," with a smile, remembering that
Patty had gone for her father once be
fore, when the bees were not swarm
ing after all.
"May I go out and watch 'em,
mother?" asked Patty, dancing heel
and toe on the white kitchen floor.
"Yes; put on Aunt Xabby's shaker
and don't go too near."
.So Patty got into Aunt Xabby's
big shaker bonnet which was so much
too large that you could not see her
little round face, unless feeling quite
sure it was there, you stooped and
peeped in; and the brown calico cape
almost reached the hem of her short
skirts.
Then Patty went into the garden
and sat down on a box by the cucum
ber bed.
She watched the dancing black
swarm until her eyes grew heavy.
The sun shone brightly, the west wind
blew about her warm and soft and
fragrant. The buzzing of many bees
grew louder and louder, until it seemed
to swallow up every other sound. Then
the big shaker began to droop, and that
was all Patty knew, until—
"Patty! Patty, child! Don't stir for
your life!"
This was what called Patty out of
Dreamland, her father's voice, deep and
hoarse.
At first she wondered where she
was. There was a toar, like distant
thunder, in her ears.
"Don't move, Pattr dear. Don't
lift your head!" That was her mother
The words sounded to Patty a great
way off, and there was a tremble in
them and a sob at the last. What could
it mean ?
Patty was frightened, but she was a
brave little girl, and had always been
taught to obey. So she sat very still
with scarcely a quiver of an eyelid, and
presently she felt the big shaker gently
lifted from her head.
"All right!" said her father.
And Patty looked up with a little
cry to see the shaker—Aunt Nabby's
shaker, truly, but bigger than ever
with that great cluster of moving,
buzzing bees hanging to it—disappear
within an empty hive.
Then Patty laughed. "Did they light
on my head?" she cried, jumping up.
"What fun!"
But her mother took the little girl in
her arms, and carried her into the
house and cried over her. Mothers
are such queer people.
"That shall be Patty's hive," said
her father, coming in later; adding,
with a twinkle in his eye, "I've heard
of a bee in one's bonnet, but I never
saw so many bees on one's bonnet be.
fore."
"Nor I," said Patty, laughing still
"Tliey shall make me some honey to
pay for that."— Youth's Companion.

Wrestling With a Barrel of Flonr.
Our schoo'mates are few and far
between now. Death has carried most
of them awav and those who are left
aro widely scattered. How the roads
of life do forii— and some take one and
some another. We are all like pickets
skirmishing around, and one by one
get. picked off ourselves by the common
foe. 1 had liked to have got picked
off myself a day or two ago. The
wagon ha 1 come from town with a few
comforts, and one was a barrel of Hour.
Mrs. Arp and the children always
come to the south porch when the
wagon comes for they want to see it
unloaded and feel good for a little
while, and so when the hind gate was
taken off and Mrs. Arp had wondered
how we would get out the Hour, I
thought I would show her what a man
could do. 1 rolled the barrel to me a<
I stood on the ground and gently eased
it down on my knees. My opinion now
is that tln re is a keg of leid in that
barrel, for my knees gave way and 1
was falling backward, and to keep
the barrel from mashing me into a
pancake or something else, I gave it a
heave forward and let her go, and it
gave me a heave backward and let me
go, and I fell on a pile of rocks that
were laid around a cherry tree, and
they were rough and ragged and r-harp,
ami tore my left arm all to pieces and
raked it to the bone. The blood
;treamed through my shirt sleeve and
1 was about to faint, for blood always
makes me faint, when ft' rs. Arp
screamed for camphor, and the girls
run for it, and before 1 could stop 'em
they ha I camplire and turpentine lire
all over my arm, and 1 went dancing
around like 1 was in a yaller jackets'
nest. It liked to have killed me, shore
cnuf, I nit alter while 1 rallied and went
to bed. 1 haven't use 1 that, arm nor a
linger on that hand till now, and go
about sad and droopy. But I have
had a power of sympathy, and Mrs.
Arp is good—mighty good. And now
I'm in a fix, for 1 can't shave but one
side of my face and company is coming
to-morrow.
Well, 1 used to could let down a
barrel of Hour—l used to could—but
rolling years will change a man—anno
domlni will tell. I reckon by the time
1 get my neck broke I will begin to
realize that I'm not the man 1 used to
be, but as t'obe says, "if 1 could call
back twenty years i'd show 'em." The
next time a barrel of tlonr comes to ray
house I will get two skids twenty-five
feet long and let it roll out, see if 1
don't. I shall get well slowly—very
slowly. But Mrs. Arp asked me this
morning if I eoulln't pick the rasj>-
berries for dinner with one 1 and—said
she could swing a little basket round
ray neck. W hat at houghtful, ingenious
woman.— Bill Arp.
Letter-Writing by Proxy.
" I'm, I believe, the only person en
gaged in the business in Chicago,"
said the handsome and bright lady
whose business card bore tne words,
" Letter-writer." " 1 have written 1* t
ters for ladies who, from their wealth
and surroundings, you would suppose
could do their own corresponding. 1
have, however, found many such who
could neither spell nor write plainly
nor express their ideas. 1 have writ
ton a good many letters for persons
who make no pretense of their inabil
ity to do so for themselves. l'ut tho
bulk of my patrons come to me not be
cause they are unable to write, but be
cause they cannot command expres
sion for their thoughts."
" What are the letters about gene
rally?"
" Well, that would be telling. But
if you won't s.y I told you, they are
mostly letters of sentiment. The
greater part are love letters. You
think that persons would prefer to
write such letters themselves. So they
do when the sentiment they breathe is
real. But the letters 1 write are tho e
of occasion. Bach party-desires to im
press the other with epistolatory beau
ties, and nut having any themsclve*—
well, 1 furnish the sentiments for them.
It's very easy,' she added, with a
flavor of cynicism. " There's a regu
lar stock of sentiments for all occa
sions that pleases all people alike. If
some gentlemen who arethe proud pos
sessors of glowmg letters from ladies
knew that some of their friends had
others from other ladies, but nearly all
alike except in words and all coming
from the same source, they wouldn't
be so proud.
"Ladies write much alike, and so,
for that matter, do gentlemen. I no
tice one thing about the latter, how
ever, that is peculiar. Young gentle
men up to the age of twenty-three or
twenty-four are very effusive and gush
ing in their protestations. From that
age on to forty they grow more guard
ed and cold. They are afraid of r di
cule or something. Perhaps they are
suspicious and distrustful. But after
gentlemen reach middle life they re
turn to youthful ardor in their letters
of sentiment. Queer, isn't it?"
" What other kinds of documents do
you turn out?"
"Oh, letters of condolence, of con
gratulation, of ceremony and so on—
letters that are meant to impress tho
receivers and are out of tho power of
the apparent writers themselves to
construct."— Chua;/o Herald.

In the-ednvsof lowing g nuts and athletic
heroes fine physical ueve opment is moie
observed th m over before since the time of
the Athenian game*. A mnn wh) sho.vs the
elements of physical power is looked up to
far more thnn in the days of our ancestors
possibly because there are few specimens of
wilt developed manhood tlian then. An
emissary of this pnpor met a magnificent
specimen of physical lower a few d iys since
in tho pen oil of Dr. A W. McNames, of
Waterloo. His muscles, which showed uti
umal development, were as hard as wood.
At his request the writersought to pinch him
in the arms or logs, bnt found it wholly im
possible. A realization of what is meant by
an iron inan was fully made manifest.
" Have you always beon so stalwart as
this?" inquired the news irathorer.
"Not by any means' was the reply.
"When a young man I was always strong
and active and felt thai I could accomplish
anything. This feeling so took poss tssion
of ine on one occasion that I attempted to
lift a box which four men found it impossi
ble to n o.e. I s icceedod i I placing it on
the wagon, but in two minutts from th it
time I was unconscious and remained so for
hours and when I ieo >voted consciousness I
vomited a .urge quantity of blood. From
th it day 1 began to grow weak and sickly. 1
believed that 1 had suffered Rime internal
injury and xperienc d a general debility,
which seemed similar to the effects pro
duced by malaria. My back was very weak.
1 had no appetite, and a' times loathed foo 1.
My 1 p.s were parched and cracked. My head
felt as though it were entirely < p-n ut tha
top and it pained me on tho sido intensely.
In six weeks' time 1 had fallen away from
£O3 pounds to less than 170. I was in a most
wretched condition. 1 was completely dis
couraged."
" What did the doctors say about you ?"
" Almo •■t everything. I consulted no less
than s.x different physicians. They all
tie ited me and none did mo any good. At
that time I was suffering intensely. I could
not sit npr g it but w is obliged to rest IU a
cramped, uneasy position. I was compelled
fo urinate every live minutes, and I passed
over three quarts every day. I was not
living. I was existing.
One night (how well I remember it!) my
wife I a 1 put the children iu bed, when tho
feeling came over me that I should live bnt
a very short time. My wife and 1 talked
matters all over, nnd I give the minutest di
rections as to what she should do after 1 was
gone. I was not in n flighty ccnliiion by
any means for the doitor, on leaving town
the diy following, ba e me good raying

suffering with Blight's disease of the kidneys
in its last stager. Within the next few days
moie than .w nty friends came to b d ran

John D. Clark, lie asked me what I had
used in the way of m 'dicinvs. 1 tuld him
He then r. coma ended a remedy of which I
had heard much, but al out which 1 was very
skeptical. It faith were an element of
power it certainly was lacking in my case."
" And so j on did not try it ?"
"On the contrary, I did try it and to my
surprise it ren eJ to go to just the spot.
Indeed, itwa- tho inost palatable thing 1 had
taken into my mouth lor mouths. I reli>hed
it."
"And did it cure yon ?"
" Do I look as if it did ?"
" Yes, indeed. What was it ?"
"Warner's FafeCure."
" A proprietary medicine !"
"Of course. What of that? I suppose I
cnce had as great a prejudice against a tver
tised medicines av any one could have.
When I was studying medicine at Ann Arbor,
Mich., I used to vow with the rest of the
class ihat we would fight all such remedies
at all times. When a man comes down to
the last hour, however, an l bids h swife and
friends good-bye, such bigoted prejudices as
the.-eall vanish, 1 can assure you, a id any
remedy that can cure is gladly We lcomed."
" And how have you been since then ?"
