BE NOT WEARY.
Oh. weary hoasewlf. trvcgllnc .
Beneath a wtlght of toil and car.
With aching fact, and anxious brow.
Thy burden teema ao hard to bear.
Tired of the oft-recurring task.
And never-ceasing dally round.
Post lotnetlmea wonder If f weot rest
On hither aid the grave war found?
Haro heart of patience, weary one.
Lest thou may'at "paai beneath the rod."
And all the loved thou laboreat for.
Like mine, beneath the allent sod. -Shall
eleep In Ood'a Oreen Acre: where
Nor loving word, nor bitter tear.
May call them to thy aide again, '
Through the long vista of the yean.
For If I might resume my load
(And ah I It seemed ao heavy then)
How eagerly I'd lift It up.
And now, content, go on again.
What though with busy hand and brain.
And weary, aching feet the while,
Methlnks I could toll on and on.
With joyous heart and cheery smile.
Tea, I have leisure now, for now
la the last loving service done.
Dut ah, my heart! a weary round
I still pursue from aun to sun. .
My soul grieves for the loved and lost
That dwell upon the spirit shore;
My cup of Joy I thrust aside,
And I shall quaff Its sweets no more.
Deem not thy llfo 111 spent: for God
Counts homely task and trifling deed.
If they be done for love of Him;
And surely thou'lt receive the meed
Of praise and righteous Just reward,
When He shall say to thee: "Well done.
Come dwell with me forevprrqor; 1
Receive the crown, thouJaTthful one."
Then bravely lift thy drooping head.
And show the world a smiling face;
And thou shalt conquer all; for God
To those who ask Him glveth grace.
And If thou make a happy homo,
Where sweet content shall rolgn supreme.
Thy work shall more enduring be
Than sculptor's skill, or poet's dream.

CAl'W JEXKIXS wa'n't no diulc, but
lie wuz miglity fine lookiu' all the
Hume, 'specially when lie wore It is vel
vet coat, Ills Mexican sombrero with tlje
silver bmhl, his buekRhin . j Vlin'
breeches, nn' his git spurs. On them
Vnxions Mrs. JenkinS use tooller him
'roun' till satisfied tliet ho wus safe
'mongst us boys an' 'way fniin the
liulies. Xone of us hed ever seen 'notlier
velvet coat like that one within a hun
dred mile of IJoomopolls. So, when Mr.
C'l'b TerkinH, liailiu' ptraiyht frum
Roston, tia cliiimed ter be an artist a
huntin' "local color" fer his sketches,
dropped inter Doc Morey's place with
'notlier velvet coat on' a sombrero, an'
him Jenkins' nlze to nn Inch why us
Imivs nil fairly pnsped fer breath an Mr.
Terkins found jest what he wuz n
lonkln' fer.
Twuz th' evenln' of the day when tho
Chinese bunkhouse at thefiolden Wedpe
mine wns blowcd up with dynamite.
Who blowed her tip nobody knew, but
wo nil sespicioned Baldy Ilowers bifj
man, bad man. Never havin' did a lick
of work in his life, it naturally puv
Tialdy apnln tcrEeenChinnmnn a-work-ln',
so quid an' patient-like, same's a
burro, never savin' nothln", Vcpt a lectio
Toe-hawin oneet In awhile 'moofeUt his
own kind, nn' never standin' treat.
Taldy probably lit the fuse to thet
cliarpe of dynntnite out of pure, nll
"ron n' cusscdncss. jest to make a row nn
hurt somebody. I'.ut In this last he wuz
disnpp'inlcd, fer, bnrrin' n broken leg
or two, the Chinamen jro off alive.
Seems like a (T.immmn hcz cz many
lives ez n cnt, any way.
We wuz all disciissin' this event that
evenln' In INie Morey's place an' Cap'n
Jenkins rrninrked that lwuz a low
down, cowardly t.riek. He wuz no friend
of th' Imported Chinese hlrelln', but he
b'lieved in fair play. He w'dn't shoot a
do with a rope 'roun' its neck or mur
der n cat In its nlecp. The man the hed
done this thinpr wuz no pent leman, an'
if the enp'n only knew fer certain who
'twuz, he'd take pleasure In liekin' him
v ithin nn inch of his wuthless life. We
c'd see Ilaldy flowers' eyes flame up, like
a coal when you blow it to lipht your
pipe, but he didn't say not hi n' not In
words, fly an' by the boys eummenced
to deal for seven-tip an' flaldy invited
the cap'n to play a pame of cribbope.
'Twns a queer invite at soch a time, but
the enp'n consented, on they sot down
at a table by themselves, ordered drinks
fer the crowd, an commenced to play.
Now, I don't know nothin' 'bout crib
bape. or old maid, or any of them ladies'
frames with keerds, but we all saw thet
there wuz the mnkln' of a pood-nized
row in thet 'ere panic. It run Mono;
kinder monoternous for awhile, "fifteen-two.
fifteen-four. fifteen-ix po,"
nn' all tho rest of the childish linpo.
The enp'n. played very slow and keer
less, reachin' fer tho cards with that
tootle, white, wiry hand of bis, softly an
nuletly ez if he wus half asleep, an"
Ilnldy kep' a-banpln' the keerds down
onto the table, an' n-rippln' out a lot
of hip fireaser cuss-words, an' a-eount-ln
In a voice, like a bass drum, an' then,
of course.they quarreled "bout tho
eountin'. That wuz what the pame wuz
for. '
Cap'n Jenkins Insisted 'twuz fair to
count one way, an' Baldy swore the rule
wuz t'other way. I don't know which
vros ripht an I don't ear. But pretty
soon Baldy ses: "Cap'n Jenkins, you're
n-countln wrong sg'n; you're a-tryln
to cheat ag'n."
"You're llar,H sed the cap'n, turnlu
a shade or two whiter, like he wus get
Un'hot. Then Baldy made a lee tie play thet
hed often took the starch out of bigger
men than Jenldna. lie rii up to his
sis feetwo, ao' thro wed off his coat, an
rolled up his shlrUleeTe. showln the
muscles ou his arm, bout ea big ei s
keg of beer, an' he see: "Cap'n Jenkins,
you leetle whiffet, Tm a-gotn' to lick
you right now."
"You're a liar," sed the cspn, an' he
lowly rla up onto his feet
Nobody rightly knowed Jest how It
happened, but when Baldy drew his
big, sledge-hammer fist back, the leetle
table that they'd been s-plsyln' oa flew
p between 'eat, aa' Baldy1 flat esna
asassi a'gln It. As It tumbled to the
floor with a clatter, Cap'a Jenkins
sort; rit up la th' sir an' bruog his
left Ish like s streak of liphtnin a'gln'
the Tint of Baldy'schin. The blgfcUer
jest lapsed. Bis whole body stiffened,
lie Tripped the floor a second, or two
with his heels an' then he went smash,
ful4 length onto his back, with a jar
the) shook the buildls. Twas full five
mlidt by the watch afore he moved s
mnvsle.
Et soon'a Baldy c'd Stan' up an take
a glass of whisky he went out of the
back door sn' Csp'n Jenkins went out
of the front door. We all knowed thet
the ocx' thing to come 'long w'd be a
ieetle gun play, sn' whilst the two
principals wuz gone fer their tool we
sir took a drink an' three or four as
wufe sensitive to the sight of pore
slipped out an' spread! the news of what
tent a-eomln'.
That wus how CMMj Perkins happened
t' 'ear on the scene. Ilavin' come to
town artef dark he wuz eat in' his sup
per; at the Transcontinental when he
fleered the news, an he rushed' over
to Morey's thinkln' he might swipe a
sketch off'n th' Incident. You c'd hev
knocked u fellers down with a feather"
Whfn he iprunjr Inter tjie room. ike',',1,,,n0,"'y",",,,'lreU'1"ll"r"' n,,y,1"l,-").
he wuz shot tmt of wttn. an' looked

'ronn' sorter daeiJTy the lights nn
the queer look on our faces. Skeered a
little, too, I reckon, for his voice sorter
trembled as he sed: "Gentlemen, will
you hev a drjnk with me?" .
Perkins pouredl out 'hout a finder of
whisky in a (rlass an' wuz jest a-raisiu'
it to his lips when the back door flung
open ford which Terklns' back wuz
turned an' n biff gun come In, follere
by Baldy Towers. Thout wuitin' a
second he pulled the tripper, nimin
rlpht at the center of that velvet coat
the back of It. Hut Tony Moore, the
barkeep, wuz too quick for him nil
the same. He knocked the muzzle of
the punt down with nn empty bottle,
on' the bullet nipped the heel off of
I'erkins' boot, on the blood ran out
onto the floor. Of course I'erkins' wtiz
s'prized. lie eatched np the heel in

Xex' ttoy the sheriff tried to pit some

thetio story said to have been related
by l'rof. Ualiaudet, the well-known in
structor of deaf mutes. The professor
has a favorite pupil a little deaf mute
boy, exceptionally bright. Mr. lial
Uudet asked him if he kuew the story
of George Yashlogton and the cherry
tree. With his nimble fingers the little
one said he did, and proceeded to re
peat It, The noiseless gestulattons con
tinued until tho boy had informed the
professor of the elder Washington's dis
covery of the mutilated tree and of his
quest for the mutilator. "When
George's father asked him who hacked
hia fatorlt) cherry tree," signalled the
voiceless child, "George pnt his hatchet
in his left hand" "Stop," Interrupted
the professor. "Where do you get your
uthoritv for ssvioshe took tht hatchet
In hla left haodr "Why." responded
the boy, "he needed hU right hand to
tell hla father thai ha cut th tree."
