Once upon a time there was a king who
had a little boy wliom lie loved vtry much,
and so he look n great deal of pains to
make him happy. Heg«ve him a beauti

and books without number. He gave him
a graceful, gentle pony that he might ride
just where he pleased, and a rowboat on a
lovely lake, aud servants to wait on bun
wherever he went. He also provided
teachers, who were to give him the knowl
edge of things that would make him good
and great; but, for all this, the young
prince was unhappy. He wore a frown
wherever be went, and was always wish

A little later Smoky came running up
in a stato of despair and exhaustion.
His pleasure at discovering the coach
and horses uninjured took the -form of a
series of wild yells and contortions that
would have done credit to a Shasta In

on the box, the passengers got in, and
the stage started off at redoubled speed
to make up for lost time.
The story went around among the
6tage drivers. There was one young fel
low that must be taken care of. He
was to have the seat with the driver, no
matter who wanted it. He was the
“man wot stopped Smoky’s turnout on

There ue few, indeed, nowadays, even
among those who pride themselves on

To welcome the guest with simple hut

power to make the visit a pleasure; and
to bid him, departing, a hearty God speed,

Now, there are people to whom enter
tainment means misery; who do not see
in the visit of their friends a pleasant in
terchange of thought and ideas, but rather
the labor of doubly polished floors, rare
rfcaeits, and countless steps to be taken
which tend to annihilate the joy that
should accompany the advent of a guest.
There are others, and of ibis class there
are many who will not entertain because
their means will not permit a lavish dis
play. Not content to do the best they can
afford, they positively insult tbeir friends

must be made before the visit cau be pro.

I consider throwing back the shonldess

it indirectly intensifies the first physical
error, as the pressure of the shoulders
on the spine forces the lumbar curve
(the hollow of the back) to become more
pronounced, adding another serious de

abdomen is forced out more prominent

rounding it are in consequence weak

stretched and distended.
The better way is to first draw the
head back, keeping the face at right
angles to the floor, until the back of the

The question is often asked, When is
it justifiable to kill a burglar? A forci
ble or felonious attempt to violate a
man’s rights to his house or goods may
be resisted with any necessary amonnt
of violence, even to the extent of killing,
but not where the felony is without vio
lence. But yon cannot anticipate killing
—yon cannot kiU him in cold blood be
cause yon think he will kill yon. If after
ordering a man to leave your house he
remains there, and so terrifies you that,
for fear of yonr life, yon shoot him, the
law will no-.^be very particular in decid
ing whether yon were or were not with
in yonr right in shooting him, for "omnia
prtesumutur contra spoliatorem.”
It is possible to justify the killing of
burglar who has forcibly broken into, or
is breaking into, onr honse on the ground
that thereby onr life was endangered,
but if he has already retreated and has
swung too much. He climbed on the I ®scap®d from ns, we are not, in the quaint
