The Floor and tlie Ring
After the goodies have been eaten,
all the French crackers pulled with a
snap and the boy and girl guests at a
birthday party are growing tired of
new fashioned instruments, here's
something to play—an old-fashioned
game called "the flour and the ring."
This is the r»ay to do it. Somebody
must mold in a coffee cup a mound of
flour. It only takes a little practice to
turn the shape out perfectly upon a
plate. When the mound is formed,
drop into the center of it some little
gift—a ring, a pretty pin or any small
article a boy or girl would fancy. Who
ever starts the game must take a knife
and cut through the mound to the
plate. Each one in the circle repeats
this until the lucky boy or girl comes
across the hidden prize, when he or
she must pick It out with the teeth.
The floury nose, cheeks and chin of the
prize winner look enough like a clown'g
after this last proceeding to amuse a
whole roomful of nuerry children.—

THE BUILDING OF A SOLDIER.
Joe Jerry-woed in a stony field,
Under a sweltering sun,
The boy and the rock and the native weed
B'ought for the life in a battered seud—
And the struggle was just begun
"Get out of the mud and follow me,"
Huld the man with better clothes,
''Against you are vermin and drought and
frost;
You ang«c Nature with labor lost—
Come where a fair wind blows."
But the boy digged on in the stony field,
With the struggle barely begun,
"I put the seed in this ground," said he;
"I think I had better stay and see
Whatever mny be done."
Joe Jerry qumrled and placed the stonea
And fitted the timbers true,
Then his neighbors came with fevered eyes:
"Gold! —pans of gold! —just there It lies!
Shall we wait a day for you?"
A sweet voice rifted the evening calm,
Singing the death of day,
A tired child came and went with a kiss,
"I have a wife, and a house—and this;
I think I had better stay."
"War! war!" the cry—and the cry came
near—
"There is fame, and to spare for all."
"I have a dying wife—ami these,
I'll stay with them, if God so please,"
But he went nt the second call.
"Come back!" they cried through the metal
hail
To a soldier bleeding and grim,
He picked a rifle out of tbe dirt,
Answering only : "The captain's hurt i
I think I'll stay with him."

AN INCIDENT OF THE BATTLE OF r
2 SANTIAGO. r
▼▼▼▼▼T TT T ▼
With tbe intensity of a tropical day
the sun seemed to expend its entire
force of furnace beat upon tbe un
sheltered spot in front of Santiago
where lay a grievousty wounded
American soldier boy. Tbe wide,
tortured eyes of the youth stared fear
fully upward to the glaring zenith,
past tbe foul birds watching his suf
ferings with calculating vision and
waiting for the human feast which
seemed sure to come. He thought
with sickening brain of bis northern
home—ithe green hills, the running
streams,the dear mother. Tears welled
up into his aching eyes. He did
not try to wipe them awav—be could
uot. A mauser bullet bad struck him
in tbe thigh, another iu the right arm
and another in the left. Pie was help
less. But what matter! The dead
could uot sea, and tbe mother would
probably never know how be bad
nobly fought even to the gates of
death. At his feet lay the dead body
of a Cuban, slain by the bullet of a
Spanish sharpshooter. For these
Cubans be was dying. For them he
bad come to help free the island from
the tyranny of Spanish rule.
Then be recalled tbe events of that
day at San Juan kill. The American I
troopi had been on their feet since i
daybreak. There was a scanty break
fast, and as tbe men ate it there were j
indications of the coming clash of
arms. The files on the march to the
tiring line were closed up: every sense
was alive. The bugle sounded and
then catne the order to advance. The
tempest of musketry and shrapnel
through which they moved forward
drove like a storm of steel into the
faces of the men, brt nothing could i
;esist the imperious advance and tbe
iirst line of the enemy was swept
away.
The battle grew. Here and there a
soldier went down, but the column
stood firm; the officers marched close
by the men. Sometimes, through tho
smoke they caught a glimpse of tke i
colonel leading on iu front.
The din increased; the earth seemed
reeling un<ler foot; shell burst with
horrid shriek and flung out quick
death. Still the meu pushed on. An
officer picked up tho gun of a man
who had fclleu and spoke a cheery
word.
The Spanish artillery and the far
reaching mausers swept within a cer
tian limit every inch of ground, but
with a firm and rapid step that un
flinching column moved forward.
Louder grew the tumult and thicker
came the angry messengers. A sharp
cry of pain and one of the men is
bolpel to the rear. The bullets came
hotter and faster from the Spanish in
the trencher and from the blockhouses.
More comrades stretched out quietly
with the death mark on their faces.
There was no time for words—only a
mad swelling of the heart and a throb
bing of the brain—a deadly thirst for
blood dried up all other feeling as
another man was lifted back.
Suddenly a cool voice they bad
heard before rang out an order;
"Come on, boys, charge!" and the thin
line rushed ttirougk the smoke and
advanced up the bill. With a cheer
they answered tbe fiery blast that
swept into their faces with sudden
fury. The air seemed instinct with
leaden life, and volley after volley
pealed forth from the deadly rifles.
For one awful moment the men fal
tered! Groans of agony and hoarse
commands mingled, and all around
American soldiers lay down to die.
But tbe check was only momentary,
and on into the jaws of death tho col
umn went. Every mau leaned for
ward as though breathing a heavy
wind. From right, left and front
they felt the pounding of the enemy's
guns, and shrapnel swept through the
ranks like hail.
On the summit of the hill the block
house swarmed with t?iie foe, dimly
Been through puffing lines of smoke
from our guns. Tho Spanish were
entrenched—Americans in the open.
But never mind! Forward! And soon
the foreign foa -was driven back and
the stronghold captured.
Half way down the slope as tho vic
i tors pursued the flying eneifcy. a
withering blast of mauser bullets
swept across the open ground, and the
boy who now lay dying in the open
Bpace in the tall grass fell forward
with a ball in his thigh. A comrade
ran to his assistance and he made his
way painfully to the rear, but as he
passed along another Spanish bullet
struck him in the right arm aud pre
sently he was wounded In the left.
Then his day of battle was done, and
the black hours of unconsciousness
followed.
When reason returned the sounds ol
battle had ceased, and he wondered
where his comrades were. Were they
all dead? Would they search for him?
He was alive, but he knew that death
would come in a few short hours. How
hot the sun beat down! How still
everything seemed to him—no whizz
ing of bullets in the air, nor shriek of
screaming shell, nor the yell of charg
ing troops—nothing but the silence of
an ocean of g ass. There was a
dead Cuban lying at his feet—a ghast
ly bunch of mortality. How big and
black he was! His eyes were staring
at him like balls of glass! What were
they staring at him for? The night
was coming on apace—would he have
to lie in the tall grass until the
morrow? He could not tell. And
then the dark cloud again settled o'er
his senses audit was hours before the
light came into his soul.
Death's door is a mirror and the
dying have good memories. When
consciousness returned the boy's mind
went back to his home. He wondered
if all was well on the old farm, where
he and his mother aud brother had
lived in peace until the war with Spain
called bim to the front. He had a
letter in his pocket from home—he
would read it again. But, alas! he
could not reach his pocket—both arms
were disabled and in the iuky dark
ness he could not see.
How long since had he left home?
Three mouthsj only three months!
And now he lay dying in his young
manhood. He remembered the morn
ing that he left his home. The birds
were singing and nature was at her
best. The fields were clothed in green
and the brooks softly murmured over
the pebbles at the bottom. He had
donned his new uniform, and he felt
a little sharp pang as he left his home.
Ho remembered it all very well.
"Good-bye, Bill," ho had said to
his brother. "Take good care of
mother."
"Look out for Spanish bullets and
bring back a machete," said Bill.
"I'm off, mother."
"Good-bye, my son. Be brave and
serve your country like a num." Then
she embraced nud kissed him and the
parting was over.
The old house cat rubbed against
him and purred as if to bid him God
speed. His faithful old dog followed
him down the lane, but with stern
words his master drove him back. At
the edge of the town a blue-eyed, fair
haired girl stood at the gate. "Are
yim really going to tight the Spanish,
John?"
'"Yes, Helen, aud I have come to
say good-by." There was a hasty
kiss, a warm pressure of bauds, aud
thus he left his home.
Everything was so hushed aud dark
now. Was the whole world dead?
Wh.v was he lying helpless here? How
had it happened? Then be remem
bered—the furious charge across the
open field, up the hill and over the
crest in the face of a rain of Spanish
bullets. The air hummed aud
whistled. From the trenches and
blockhouses themausers spit at them.
Then the blow came to him. It was
a terrible shock. It seemed to lift him
from his feet aud double liiui up and
pitch him forward. Theu the painful
journey to the rear, two more bullet
wounds, and theu unconsciousness.
Now he was dyiug iu the darkueßS.
How strange it all was. That dead
Cuban—how black he looked,and how
his eyes glared! There was a tiny
hole iu his forehead where life had
leaped through. Someone was crying
for water. Was it himself? He could
not tell. The night was getting cold
and the heavy dew made the tall grass
soggy. There were no stars to watch
him. Would nobody help him? Hark!
That was hi 3 dog howling, and how
loud it was!
How weak and dizzy he felt.
"Good-bye, Bill."
He could not see. Everything was
growing dim.
"Farewell, mother!" "Helen "
And the deep, dark grass waved a
weeping requiem to auother brave
young sonl. —Detroit Free Press.
What Constitutes a Healthy Man.
One of our medical contemporaries,
the Texas Medical News, thus sums
up the qualities which constitute a
perfectly healthy man: He should
have a strong, healthy heart; not one
weak from disuse or the excessive use
of tobacco, alcohol or other causes;
lungs well developed aud that expand
rhythmically with ample breathing
space for health and a surplus for
work or disease; mus des well round
ed and elastic, made hard aud strong
by use and carrying, like the camel's
hump, reserve energy for trying jour
neys; nerves, nature's electric wires,
properly insulated and connected,
bringing all the various organs of the
body into one perfect system, aud all
under the control of a brain of just
proportions, well balauced and convo
luted, not soft from disuse or de
stroyed for the need of rest, educated
for tlie high duties it has to perform,
not only to stand guard over aud pro
tect the health of aud life of the in
dividual, but at the same time to fur
nish feeling and thought and pleasure
for the human being. All of these or
gans, when properly constructed and
adjusted and perfect in every detail,
go to make up a healthy individual
aud one possessing within himself a
power of resistance not easily over
come by disease-producing organism"

If It will help you to b« strong,
Whistle a tuns when things go wrong.
And whistling lightens It for you,
If e'er your task Is hard to do.
Whether it be sowing the seeds.
Hoeing the corn, or pulling weeds,
Gathering fruit, or raking hay,
Or driving cows, whistle away.
Whistle a tune, if you can't sfng,
And that should seem the next best thing
That you can do, perhaps 'twill cheer
Tho hearts of some who chance to hear.
Bett r to whistle than to pout,
And scold, and fret, no one caa doubt;
Bo keep a merry heart, my lad,
And thu&make other people glad.
Do all the good you can eaeh day,
And as you toll, whistle away.

How They Got Out.
The owner of some cows was very
much surprised to find every morning
that his three cows every night got
aut of the shed in which they were
securely fastened over night. He
thought some one must let them out
for mischief.
One day, however, he happened to
be in the shed with the door fastened
so that the animals should not come
in, when he fancied he heard some
one trying the door, which, like most
cow sheds, was fastened by a latch,
uuderneatli which was a little round
hole, so that when inside you could
put your tinger through the hole to
lift the latch.
Through the hole a long red tongue
appeared, aud in a minute the latch
was lifted and iu walked one of the
cows! The mystery was explained.
But after that the farmer contrived a
new fa-iteuing for the do>>r of the
shed.
Kelvin in'* ISeast* of Harden.
From time out of mind the dog has
been a beast of burdeu in Belgium,
and until very recently has had no
champion. It is very picturesque, of
course, to see a dog hitched to a
peasant's two-wheeled barrow, with
his shining brass milk cans, nnd at
tended by the milk-woman iu the lace
cap of tradition; and I have just seen
a case where the dogs were well har
nessed aud showed signs of being well
fed aud cared for, but such cases are
pitifully rare. As a rule the barrows
or carts are far too heavy for the dogs
that drag them. The load is more
often than not a full one of damp
saud; the peasant, nine times out of
ten, urges the dogs with a heavy
pointed wooden shoe or a whip with a
formidable lash. The harness is com
posed of strong string, which as a rule
cuts the animal's flesh with every pull
ho gives or else the knots with which
it has been tied inflict numerous
wounds on his emaciated body. And
yet passers-by of all classes and creeds,
men, women ntid children, priests and
police, are indifferent to the pitiful
yelping and howling of the poor dogs,
almost kicked to death by brutal mas
ters. "The dogs are used to it," is
the only argument.—Correspondence
iu Chicago Record.
A Native American Gone.
In the front rank of sports for bovs
is the native Americau game lacrosse.
In common with baseball and football,
it has the advantage of being a team
game as opposed to such individual
games as tenuis, nnd it cultivates the
speed aud agility necessary to the
sprint runner, aud the lung power
audenduiance of the loug-distance
cycler. It is less dangerous to life
nnd limb than auy game of nearly
equal activity, aud, from the specta
tor's standpoint, is the most interest
ing aud brilliaut of all the sports.
Possessing all these advantages, it
is hard to see why lacrosse is not more
generally played by our boys.
The Canadians excel at the game
because their boys get their lacrosse
sticks as soon as they are strong
enough to hold them, aud small sticks
are provided which even the youugest
can wield. In England and Ireland
there are teams by the dozens,
aud thousauds attend the matches.
Yet iu the United States, which is
really the home of the game, there are
hardly more thau a score of teams.
Happily, interest in the game is grow
iusr, but as yet it is played only by the
young men.
The materials required for the ga ne
consist of the goals, a solid rubber
ball, a lacrosse stick for each player,
and a "lot." The only one of these
that requires explanation is the stick.
The shaft of tough hickory is very
light and strong. It is struug with
heavy gut, which is not tight like that
on a tennis racket, but is strung more
loosely, so that it gives when struck
by the ball. This enables the player
to catch handily. With this stick all
the play is made, touching the ball
with the hands being strictly barred.
The object of the game is, as in
football, to attack your opponents'goal
and at the same time defend your own;
but tho scoring is done by driving the
ball through the goal, aud not over it,
as iu that game. The goals are set
oue at each eud of tho field, generally
about oue hundred and ten yards
apart, and there should be at least
fifty feet of open field behind each for
play behind goal. Two seven-foot
sticks about oue and a half inches in
diameter, set firmly one foot deep
iu the ground and just six feet
apart, constitutes goal. The English
players hav§ added a great improve
ment to the goal, however, which is
gradually being adopted in this coun
try and Canada. It consists of a bag
of stout netting, stretched from the
goal-posts and from a cross-bar be
tween them to the ground at a point
about seven feet back of the goal. The
object of this net is to remove a source
of frequent dispute! as to whether tne
"ahot"— -for so the throw which seuds
the ball through the goal is called—
went through, or just to one side 01
above the goal. It is almost impos
sible for the umpire to tell whethei
the ball passed just six feet above the
ground, or six feet aud half an inch.
The first would be a "goal," the sec
ond "no goal;" but on such decisions
as this 'many a match has been won,
aud many an' umpire's reputation lost.
The net eliminates all this, for if the
ball goes through the six-foot square
opening it will be found in the bag,
aud nobody can blame the bag.— St.
Nicholas.
Boy Kings of Kngland.
We of today always think of a kino
or a prince as being a creature with
nothing mnch to do but to enjoy life
and be waited on. Kings and princes
do not enjoy life any more—in fact not
as much —as we common mortals do,
though they may take their ease and
dress in silks and plush. Now, there
was a time when even kings could not
take their ease, but lived in a constant
state of turmoil and danger. Hun
dreds and hundreds of years ago there
reigned in England a boy king called
Edmund. He was only eighteen years
I old when he came to the throne, and
! he was the first of six boy kings whose
j reigns were short aud turbulent. Ed
i mund was called the Magnificent, be
cause he tried to improve the dress
aud the living of the times; but, un
fortunately for him, he had a violent
temper, which soon ended his reign
and his life.
In those days the king's palace
; consisted of a tew sleeping apartments
anil a great diuiug hall, where every
body from the king to the meanest
servant, dined at the same table. The
king, however, was at one end on o
raised platform, which distinguished
him from the others who sat below.
It was the custom theu, aud a very
beautiful one, to allow any poor way
farer who might be passing to come
j in, warm himself nnd take his place
!at the table. One night King Ed
mund, after he had eateu heavily and
was in a surly mood, noticed among
the company at table a noted outlaw
and robber called Leof. This man
had been banished from England, and
when the king saw him sitting there
he Hew into a mighty rage at the
man's presumption,aud he commanded
him to depart.
Leof said, "I will not depart,"
Whereupon the foolish king, iustead
of ordering the servauts to put him
out, himself seized the bold robber
und tried to throw him out. Leof had
a dagger concealed under his long coat
aud he stabbed the king. In a minute
all the king's retainers were upon the
outlaw nnd cut him to pieces, but not
before the king and several of his ser
vants were killed.
Then came Edred, another boy
king, who was very weak of body but
strong of mind. « He fought many
great battles against the Danes and
Norsemen and beat them off, but ho
only lived to rule nine years.
Then Edwy, fifteen years old, bo
came king, but he was ruled by a
monk named Duustau, who watched
over him like a guardian. The hand
some young monarch had married his
cousin, the beautifulElgiva, although
he was so young. Dunstau did not
approve of this marriage, fled the
country nnd secretly worked up a plot
to get i id of Edwy and put his youngei
brother Edgar on the throne. Not
content with this Duustan caused the
beautiful girl queen to be seized and
her fair face branded with a red hot
iron, and then she was sold into slavery
iu Ireland.
The Irish people, however, v.ere
then, as they are now, a warm hearted
race, and they determine 1 to restore
the poor queen to her husband. First
they cured her of the awful scar on
her fucc, so she was as beautiful as
ever, and then sent her on her way
back to England. But on the way
home she was killed. When the king
heard of her fate he died, too, of a
broken heart. New York Herald.
Travel* of a Valuable Tin Uo*.
Mayor Fonlk of Piedmont, W. Ya.,
lias received a letter from William
Boyce of Philadelphia, stating that
while repairing a car in the freight
yard iu the city he found under it a
tin box containing a number of papers

| At the mayor's request it was fur
warded, and found to contain, besides
other papers, §795 worth of uncan-
I celled coupons of the water bonds,
: representing bonds to the amount of
§5300. The coupons had been de
tached from the bonds sold by
the council in 1897, aud were for
thiee years. The box was taken from

It lias just been discovered that one

The d scoverv created a good deal of

to asking why the president had nom
inated a child to a command in
the army. It was then explained that
the young man was 19 years old, hav

He Sends This Little Story to"St. Nlclio
lan" Letter-Box.
A very young contributor with a verj
familiar name sends this story to the
Letter Box of St. Nicholas. He cans it
"Jerry:"
Jerry Field lived in a large bouse
with two deaf, half-blind aunts, in the
upper part of New York City. Jerry
often wished that he was a newsboy,
and could Jump oa cars and cry: "Ex
tra! Telegram, Just out!" and not the
nephew of two rich maiden aunts. Bui
as he could not he had to hope for the
best. One spring day, as Jerry waa
walking down Broadway he saw a
newsboy who looked exactly like him
self. Jerry accosted him thus: "You
look Just like me and have the same
sort of a voice. Now, if you want we'll
change in some back alley, and you put
on my clothes, and I'll put on yours
and take your papers. You goto IS
West Eighty-first street and act as you
think best." The transaction was nc
sooner said than done. So Jerry went
on his way, and the newsboy his. In
about two weeks a miserable half
starved newsboy could have been seen
crying in Central park. He, however,
had not been crying long when he saw
a victoria with two old ladies in it and
a young boy. Jerry gave a yell and
made a dash or the carriage; but it
had gone, and Jerry wandered back to
his seat, crying bitterly. In about twen
ty minutes the eame carriage appeared,
but Jerry was not to lose it, so he
cried to the coachman to stop, which he
did, and Jerry made himself recogniz
able. When they reached home he told
his Btory. The newsboy, however, wa3
not to be left out. He was sent to a
boarding school and lived to be a
great man.
