ADAM KEVER WAS A BOY. Of all thé men the world has seen Since Time his rounds began, There’s one I pity every day— Earth’s first and foremost man: And then I think what fun he missed By failing to enjoy The wild delights of youth-time, for He never was a boy. He never stubbed his naked toe Against a root or stone, He never with a pin-hook fished • Along the brook alone. He never sought the bumblebee Among the daisies coy, Nor felt its business end, because He never was a boy. He never hookey played, nor tied The ever-ready pail, Down in the alley, all alone, To trusting Fido’s tail. And when he home from swimmin’came His happiness to cloy, No supper interfered, because He never was a boy. He might refer to splendid times ‘Mong Eden’s bowers, yet He never acted Romeo T o a six-year Juliet, He never sent a valentine, Intended to, annoy A good but maiden aunt, because He never was a boy. He never cut a kite string, no! Nor hid an easter egg, He never ruined his pantaloons A playing mumble peg. 11c never from the attic stole A coon hunt to enjoy, T o find the “ old man” watching, for He never was a boy. I pity him. Why should I not! I even drop a tear. He did not know how much he missed, He never will I fear. And when the scene of “ other days” My growing mind employ, I think of him, earth’s only man Who never was a boy. —Texas Siftings. Wood County Whiskey. Toledo Bee. Yesterday Richard Kerlin was paying oiF his men, and among others who presented their claims for an allowance was Jim DufFy. • “ I thought you were working in llie field,” said Mr. Kerlin, as he looked at Duffy’s time slip. “ I was, sor, but I met wid an accident.” “ An accident. How was that?” Jim, who is a strapping, big, brawny fellow, looked sheepishly at his questioner, but did not an swer. “ What kind of an accident did you meet with?” Mr. Kerlin again asked. “ I was treed, sor.” “ Treed? Why, there are no bears at Cygnet.” “ No, sor. but. there’s vvuss. I was up the tree thiee days.” “ I don’t understand you,” said Mr. Kerlin, now som' vht curious. “ Well, sor, ’ twar li.Is way. You see, they’ve got what they call a squirrel whiskey down at Cyg net, and wh n you drink it the devil oF a squirrel gets into you and you begin to climb trees right oiF. I t ’ a terrible stufF, so it is.” Jim's story was drowned in a roar oF laughter. “ You needn’t laugh,” Jim con tinued when the laughter had subsided, “ but I ’ m not as bad off as Charlie Lathrop.” “ What happened Charlie?” “ Charlie went down to Van Bu- ren and he drank some of the muskrat whiskey down there, and they haven’t seen him since.” “ What do you suppose has be come of him, Jim?” “ Oh, he crawled into a hole or may be a sewer. There’s no tel- lin’ what wan will do when they drink Wood county whiskey; I’m not surprised to hear of them steal- in’ horses and things over there. It’s terrible'stuff, so it is.” Mr. Kerlin explained that 'Jim was just recovering from the jim- jams. Prominent and Peculiar. The life of the fiarl of Dudley is insured for $6,000,000, a high valuation when it is considered that American railroads allow $5,000 on an average for men kill ed in collissions. Though Jay Gould never smokes he is said to be an excellent judge of a cigar, and the brands he keeps on hand to give to his friends are choice enough for the most capti ous connoisseur. Bishop Phillips Brooks has once again displayed his sturdy com mon sense by using his influence to secure for the Salvation Army the right to have a street parade in Boston, which has been refused by the political authorities. Cyrus Field is one of the few of Americans who have a standing acquaintance with Queen Victoria. Mr. Field’s part in the laying of the early Atlantic eables obtained for him a presentation to the queen that meant rather more than such things usually mean, and the acquaintance of many years ago has been kept up by oc casional meetings and conmmuni cations o f some kind or another. Andrew Johnson, says the New York Press, was the only presi dent that ever stood on foreign soil while holding office. It occur red during the famous “ swing around the circle,” in 1S60, while visiting Niagara Falls, when he went in a carriage to the Canadi an side. The president did not think at the time that he had vio lated a precedent, audit occurred to him only when he had returned to his hotel and was alone with his secretary, who promised to keep the matter secret. Paul du Chaillu, according to his own testimony, was once of fered his pick of 853 beautiful African maidens, clad only in gauzy atmosphere and blushing violently. He declined the offer, explaining to the generous king of the tribe that if he took one all the rest would be jealous. The king then offered him the whole 853, whereupon Mr. du Chaillu fled back to civilization. POSSIBLY A R P-SNORTEtt. How War With Chili Might In volve Us in a Greater One. [Salt Lake Tribune.J As we look at it, the only possibility of war will be through the meddleing of those in authority in Chili, who repre sent Germany and Great Britain. They are two countries that smart very much under the determination of the govern ment of the United States to maintain the Monroe doctrine. They want c d o mes in Mexico, they want other colonies in Brazil, in Central America and in Venezula. They do not like to rest un der the claim of the United States, that they must not, in a governmental way, interfere on this continent. And it is just possible that \,heir representativ es are inciting the Chilians to war and promis ing them material help which their ships could give in that event. Should that be the case there would be such a war as has not been heard of in a good while; there would not only be a war with Chili, hut there would be a war up in Canada, and there would be such a lighting of the ocean with the flames of British ships on fire, that i t would convert night into day. It would be a bard game for the United States, but then it would be found that our country had emerged from the vortex undiminished in strength and mightily advanced in prestige and in the world’s respect. B u c k w h e a t C a k e s . The old way of setting to raise over night by the use o f yeast, while the cakes were light yet there was always a well founded suspicion that buckwheat cakes made in that manner were indigestible and unwholesome, because of the chemical action that takes place, so alters the flour from its original character, that the souring or decomposing process continues in the stomach, followed by dyspepsia and kindred troubles. The new way does away with all fermentation, souring etc., and places' upon the table smoking hot buckwheat cakes in 12 minutes or less. Dr. Price’s Cream Bakihg Powder is the element that superseded the old methods. Buck wheat and all griddle cakes made with Dr. Price’s Powder are not only exceedingly light and delicious, but can be enjoyed by dyspeptics and invalids with impunity. Dr. Prices Cream is the only baking powder cantaining the whites of eggs. NO. 3525. Fifsit Natività 1 Batìk OF GREAT FALLS. OFFICERS: T. E. C ollins - - President, J. T. A rmington - - Yice-Pree. A.
