* held BO' wheat;
\U Wbero peace an plenty
U sots around a-singiu'
of a hymn,
There come in early spring A CUBS called big-
Mouth Jim.
Ho wasn't good to look at; ho was uglior 'n sin;
His jaws protruded fearful an' his cheeks was
nil sunk in ;
His chin was like a dagger an' his noso was long
an' hooked ;
His ears was big an' droopy, like a cabbage-leaf
that's cooked;
His hair was sundy-colored, an'it never would
lay down,
But his mouth—that was the wonder of all
Wyoming town;
An' when he opened It to laugh it showed up
mighty grim.
Which was why tho people sized him up with
"Big-Mouth Jim."
He went to work at Thomas', jußt down the
southwest rood,
An' no one ever saw a chap so williu' fer to
load
Hisself with others' burdens, an' he never
seemed to mind
The way tho,others worked him while they
lagged along behind;
An' when the day was ended an' the field work
all was done
He stabled all tthe hoßses and he fed 'em, every
An'then ho'd milk an'do the chores with hunger
raokin' him,
An' eat cold grub au' crawl to bod, would Big-
Mouth Jim.
You know how that thing workß, o'course; I
reckon at you've hoard .
About tho way the williu' Loss ft hustled on an'
spurred,
An - made to do three times as muoh as him 'at
jest hangs back
An' stid of puiliu' stoddy lets the tugs git sortor
slack?
Well, that's the way it was with Jim; young
Thomas soeraod to think
He needed slathers of hard work an' littlo eat or
drink;
Bo Jim worked mighty late at night an' In the
mornin' dim
Out of his bunk afore the rest, did Big-Mouth
Jim,
Ho novor soemod to mind it an' ho never made
no fuBB
Nor kiekod for higher wages as was reg'lar like
with us;
An' so wo got to dov'lln' him, mode bleove onct
ho was sick
An' doßod him with hoas mcdicino, a cupful at
a lick;
An' then wo sneaked his Sunday shoos an' spiked
'em to the floor
An' spoiled 'em so they wouldn't keep out water
any moro.
We sprinkled sand-burrs in his bed—his sleep
that night was slim—
Oh, wo made it mighty jocular for Big-Mouth
Jim.
An' all this time he never got riled up or said a
word;
He seemed as sunny-tempered as a chirpin'
woodland bird;
But when wo grabbed his Sunday hat an' jabbed
it full of holes
Ho smilod so sorter Bickly like it acted like hot
coals
On me an' 1 let up on him, but Thomas didn't
Ho hunted up somo smellin' stuff that wouldn't
take a dare
From any skunk 'at ever lived au' smuggled it
to Tim.
Who spilled itjaccidontally onJßig-Mouth Jim.
Nobody couldn't stand thim near fer party nigh
a week,
An' when ho showed up fer his grub all us boys
took a sneak;
The clothes was buried by the barn an' Jim went
'bout his work,
Which all this time kep' growin', but he never
w as no shirk,*
An' took it jest as choerful as the measloy jokoa
wo playod.
An' the' novor was an instance of a single kick
he made;
Ho was full of ripe good nature an' of kindness
to the brim,
An' ho couldu' patently git mad, this Big-Mouth
Jim.
But one day young Bill Thomas—he was mighty
mean an' low-
Was ornerier'n ovor an' ho had to up au' go
An' slap his cousin Jennie durin'dinner-time
when Jim
Was eutin'—have you ever seen a cat jump from
a limb?
Well, then you know how Jim he jumped and
grabbed his boss' throat,
An' then he stood uu' shook him till he couldn't
pipe a note;
An' when the raßcal turned to fight ho jest lam
basted him
An' used him up most scandalous, did Big-
Mouth Jim.
The fun of tlio whole bizness was that old man
Thomas swore
That Jim was right in all he did, an' wouldn't
bounce him, nor
Allow him to bo put upon or bullyragged agin ;
But portection wasn't needed, for nobody cared
to win
Distinction as the second man as Big-Mouth
had lickod;
So Jim went on la-workin' like before he ever
kicked
An' everybody stood in ftwo an' much respected
him,
An tho world begin to brighten up for Big-Mouth
Jim.
Then one day ol' Mis' Thomas, who was watchin'
things quits sly,
Give Jim a kind o' gentle hint—a twinkle in her
An' Jim, who hadn't never hoped to havo a word
to say,
Was made to sorter realize his love want
thro wed away;
He couldn't scarce believe it, but he braced his
nerve ami wont
To Jennie, an' he told her how he loved hor, all
content
To jest say nothin'.an' be round where Bho might
smile on him, :
But now ho hoped she'd be tho wile of Big-Mouthl
Jim.
An' Jennie—well, if you're a man, you know 1
how women are;
When love's woigued in the balanoe they ain't
Fer fancy togs an' beauty—what they want's A
a good plain man ;
Thoy ain't a-findin' nary fault with Nature's
general plan.
Tho rest of it all happened like a story or •
Tlie wed' Tin ' was all reg'lar in the good old-fash
ionod way,
An' when tho least was ovor an the lamps was
burnin' dim,
Old Thomas sprung a big surprise on Big-Mouth
Jim,
He told how Jennie's parents had both died
when she was small,
An' how thoy loft to him in trust for her their
farm an' all;
An' how slio was of ago that day an' he allowed
'at slio
Would henceforth need the title deeds to all hor
propertv;
Well, Jiui wus all kerflummuxed like, but Jen
nie simply took
The deeds an'give'em to him with a mighty
- meltiu'iook. -——.
Tney settled down quit* cozy like, their oup
filled to the briin.
An' love lias showered blessings down on Big-
Mouth Jim.

Life is too short and people should
be too busy to get angry. If a man
calls me a liar I naturally would be in
clined to fight, but my philosophy
comes to my rescue. In the first
place, if I deny his statement he may
be inclined to back it up with his fists,
and I may be whipped. In the second
place, lam a liar or I am not. The
assertion that I am one does not alter
the facts in the case. If I have told a
lie, I am a liar and it is poor policy to
be averse to having the truth told to
me. If 1 have not told a lie, then the
assertion of the man that I am a liar is
false, and the man himself is what he
was pleased to call me. Engaging in
brawl will not determine the truth of the
matter, no difference whether I am the
victor or not. Then, as I said, there
is always the possibility that I may be
whipped.
It is hard on your clothes, your eyes,
and vour religion to be ill-tempered.
You lose half the enjoyment of life,
and go hunting around to find some
thing you would be better off without.
The history of the world shows that
few really great men were in the habit
of getting mad and smashing things,
and those few would have been greater
men if they had been more smooth
tempered.
I admire the man who can knock the
rutliau down, or kick at being imposed
on, and still maintain an unrullled ex
terior. Such a man impresses one as
being truly great, and at the same time
one who thoroughly enjoys life. He
gets the best of everything, and has
more friends than he can count. His
wife and children are like him, and
nothing disturbs the even tenor of his
life.
When a man is mail he will do more
damage in a minute than he can repair
in a month, and will make his friends
and relatives see what a weak and
silly fellow he is after all. He fumes
and frets, is always busy, and is ex
ceptionally likely to ho mad at meal
time. He would be provoked at receiv
ing a pension, and thegreetingof Saint
Peter will not suit him. It is a habit,
and completely controls him.
But the habit of being provoked at
trifles can be overcome, and thrice
blessed is the man who never gets
mad. — Chicago Ledger.
The Indians.
A writer in the Century, who has no
faith in the Indian Bchools, and who
ignores facts well known to persons
who have taken au interest in the In
dian question, says:
If anything is done to relieve the
condition of the Indian tribes it must
be a scheme which begins at the bot
tom aud takos tho "whole outfit," as a
Western man would say, in its scope.
If these measures of relief are at all
tardy, before we realize it the wild In
dian tribes will be, as some writer has
said, "loafers and outcasts contending
with the dogs for kitchen scraps in
Western villages." They have all raised
stock successfully when not interfered
with or not forced by insufficient ra
tions to ent up their stock cattle to ap
pease their hunger, and 1 have never
heard that Indians were not made of
soldier stuff.
A great many Western garrisons
have their corps of Indian scouts. In
every case they prove efficient. They
are naturally the finest irregular cav
alry on the face of this globe, and with
an organization similar to the llussiau
Co/sacks, they would do the United
States great good and become gradual
ly civilized. An irregular cavalry is
every year a more and more important
branch of the service. Any good cav
alry officer could, I believe, take a
command of Indians anil rido around
the world without having a piece of
bacon, or a cartridge, or a horse issued
by his Government. So far as effective
police work in tho West is concerned,
tho corps of Indian scouts do nearly
all of that service now. They all like
to be enlisted into the service, uni
versally obev orders, and are never
Bislnval "
* A Wearisome Subject.
People who are completely absorbed
in their own own personality make the
grave error of supposing that the
subject of which they never tire is
equally interesting to others; hence, if
they "enjoy poor health," it is their
habit to give effusivo descriptions of
numerous aches and pains to whom
soever they meet. Now, illness, of all
things in tho world, is the least inter
esting, and even in one's own family
soon becomes tiresome. Sympathy
called upon too often becomes to a cer
tain degree lessened. We can each re
call too many people who make bodily
ills the stock subject for conversation
in anil out of season, and a feeling oi
depression inevitably follows their
minute recital. We ought not to ig
nore real illness and expect it to leave
or pass by ns because of our non
recognition, but we need not draw tho
shadow of disease about our family
gatherings and gala days by describ
ing every little pain " that lias
wearied us.
How the Arabs Make' Tea.
The mistress of the tent, plncing a
large kettle on the fire, wiped it care
fully with a horse's tail, filled it with
1 water, and threw in some coarse tea
and a little salt. When this was near
the boiling point she tossed the tea
about with a brass ladle until the liij
■uor became very brown, and then it
was poured off into another vessel.
Cleansing the kettle as before, tlie
woman set it again on the fire in order
to fry a paste of meal and fresh butter.
Upon this tho tea and some thick cream
was tlien poured, the laille put iu req
uisition again, and after a time tho
whole taken off the fire anil set aside
to cool. Half-pint wooden mugs wore
handed around and the tea ladle* into
them, this tea forming moat and drink
and satisfying both hunger and thirst.
However made, tea is a blessed inven
tion for the weary traveler.

terday the divisions of time were under
consideration in the class. The teacher
had explained the origin of the Gre

the Greek church to adopt the reform

turned to the class and said:
"Under what calendar are we living

piped out shrflly:

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
MISTRESS MARGARET SCHREINER, of
Chi (ago, declares the Commercial A(l- I
vertiser, is now languishing in a Cook
county peneteutiary, to which li • was ;
seu en eil l'or ten y<n.s for . hat under
the old English law would lia\e been
called murder, aggiavahd with petty
treason. She slew her husband by
pt.uring kerosene iipon him, til ing it,
and thus burning him to d nth. l'ct it
seems that in his ashes live h -r wonted
fires, for now she is suing the Catholic
Order of Foi\ ster.s, of which lier do
parted loid was a member, for t.vo thou
sand dollars, prima] a 1 and interest, on
a death benefit which she c'aims us the
beneficiary of the dead i: an > es ate.
It is a principal of law tint no n au can
take advantage of his own crime or
laches, but possibly Mis. Sohreiner !
thinks that, bung a woman, she is en
titled to better things. As she looks a 1 |
her ease it must s em much like that of
the two French brothers who tried out
their fat old father for the oil he would
yield and who, when brought in guilty
of murder, wore recommended to judi
cial clemency 011 the ground that the e
were extenuating circumstances. The
extenuating circumstances wore that
they "we.e orphans."
ATTENTION has been directed to tlio
banana Balk and leaf as sources of fibre
supply. It is said that fibre s of the
stalk of a silky finen ss can l e obtaino I
of a length varying from five to nine 1
feet. "We remember," says the Maim- (
facturers' Record, "seeing masses of
this fibre in the Florida exhibit at the
Atlanta Cotton Exposition in 1881. The 1
cultivation of the banana is increasing j
in that State, and its consequent oppor
tunity for producing a long fibre must
be in the ;amo latin. If the banana
fibre has all the qualities its advocates
ascribe to it, it would be well for men
engaged in textile indus ries, in twino 1
and in small rope manufiic'ures to get 1
samples of it and submit it to such tests '
as will determine its practical value.
Should it prove to be all that is claimed
for it, then our Central American and
Wo st Jnd an neighbors, as well as our
Florida friends, would have a new article
added to their already \aluublelist of 1
native products."
THE islands of the Pacific, have been
the sphere of some of the greatest trnns
formations in history. Among these
the story of New Zealand is by 110
means lc ast exciting. It is a land 1,500
miles long from north to south, full of
great resources, agricultural and other
wise, enriched with some of the most
romantic scenery 011 the face of the \
globe, lofty waterfalls, towering snow
clad soutliein Alps rising 12,000 feet,
and beautiful stietches of coast. The
change has been most wondeiful. New
Zealand has GOG,OOO happy, prosperous
inhabitants, poverty is little known, the
cities are full of cmi fort and taste, and
the whole people are worthy tmd intelli
gent. Easiness is thriving, improve
ments are of vast extent, and a solid
basis for the life of tlio colony is as
sured. There is room for ten times as
many inhabitants, and the next fifty
years will find a gi\ at increase in the
population.
THE Minister of Na'ional Defense of I
Hungary is to bo impeached upon what,
at this distance, seems like trivial
ground. Wben the Emperor visited
Mouor recently to inspect the cavalry .
manoeuvres, the Austrian imperial colors ■
were raued upon the building which
served as headquarters. The display ex
cited a gnat deal of unfavoiable com
ment, and during tlio night some un
known person tore the Hag down and
threw it into a ditch. The Emperor was
very angry, and domamled that the an- I
thor of the "shameful outrage" should
be severely punished. Unfortunately, |
the ting was removed so quietly that 110
one has been found who could 1 o mado
responsible, and the Minis er of Defense
is to be made the s a egoat.

HAVE A CAB?
When you are addressed as above, your first im
pulse is to look at the driver. If the day be stormy
and the driver is a wise man, you will linil that he
wears a " Fish brand Slicker," and he will tell you
that he is as comfortable on the box as his passen
ger in the cab, and that for his business this coat
is invaluable. When you get once inside a " Fish
llraud Slicker," there s no such thing as weather
for you. It doesn't make the smallest difference
whether it rains, hails, sleets, snows, or blows.
You are absolutely and solidly comfortable. Get
one at once. No danger of your not liking it after
ward It is a waste <>f money to buy any other
j waterpioof coat. They are worthless after a few
weeks of hard usage. Beware of worthless im
itations, every garment stamped with the " Fish
Brand " Trade Mark. Don't accept any inferior
coat when you can have the " Fish Brand Slicker"
delivered without extra cost. Particulars and
