the ultimate.
When, of old, a chief died in the North.
Then they wrapt him close in fighting-dress,
IAM his faithful weapons him beside,
And, with stern and silent tenderness,
In a boat wide-bosomed on the tide
Placed his death-cold body, pushed him forth
Thence to drift at will of wind and fate
Till at last he found the Ultimate.
Amply weaponed so, with courage grim,
Prone along my death-boat like to him
I would day-long rock and roam and wait
For a subtle turn o’ tide and sea.
For a gust o’ wind to break and blow
Love aud land and life away from me;
Favoring, until I glide aud go
Past each bom n and billow boundary
To the waters lying round my fate
To the windless, unoarei Ultimate.
—Richard K. Burton,in the Cosmopolitan.
A SILVER DOLLAR.
BY ARTHUR C. GRISSOM.
Green Mountains were beautiful
in a garb of perfect white, their huge,
conical forms strongly outlined against
the duu winter sky. The snow line’s
limit was abrubtly marked a thousand
feet above the level, and the dark earth
below, with its bleak, brown shrubbery,
afforded a contrast as novel as it was
beutiful. • .
At the foot of the mountains, peaceful
and picturesque lay the village of Mead
owvale, which was like many towns of
rural New Euglaud. The place possessed
no distinguishing characteristic; it was
one of the sleepy old haunts that abound
in the Vermont hills, with no claims to
fame, go ambition,' no distinction but ex
istence. Not a startling event marked
its municipal record, and its progress
for a score of years could be told in a
breath.
Climbing upward from the village to
ward a solitary aud dilapidated little hut
which hung on the mountain-side, was a
slender, wan-faced boy, poorly clad for
that season of the year. Through his
ragged shoes his worn stockings could
he seen, his hands lacked mittens, and
his jacket and pantaloons were thin and
tattered.
But his eyes were bright and his ex
pression showed a spirit of honesty and
resolution.
The path was steep and nigged, and
presently the boy paused for breath. He
seated himself on a convenient rock, and
gazed with a melancholy air down upon
the village.
All the region was silent. It was
early morning, and not vet time for the
sound of the wood-chopper’s axe to echo
through the mountains. Volumes of
white-fringed smoke rose hesitatingly
from the chimneys of the little weather
worn dwellings, and vanished in the
hungry atmosphere. Far down a wide,
irregular street, almost at the end, he
could discern iris own humble home,
dearly beloved, for he had nevAr known
a better.
From one of his patched pockets the
boy drew a half-dozen old coins, of al
most no intrinsic value, and began to
jingle them iu his hand. The sound
was pleasant to him. It was not often
that he heard money rattle, aud although
these pieces were practically valueless,
they were his own, aud its they rattled
musically he could imagine them gold.
He really prized them highly, uot for
what they would purchase—that was
little, indeed- -but for their age ami
their peculiar character.
Two or three weeks before some Bos
ton dealer in old and rare coins, having
somehow secured his name aud address,
had seut him a catalogue with descrip
tions and prices of ancient mouey pieces,
and it had interested him. Straightway
he had become a coin-collector. In the
bottom of one ol the old bureau drawers
where his mother kept odds aud ends, he
remembered to have seen some curious
old copper cents, large in size—two or
three times as large as ordinary cent pieces.
Eagerly he went to learn their dates, but
none of them was quoted at any price.
These old coppers his mother had saved
as relics of her girlhood, they had
been the first money she had ever owned,
and now, being given to him, they served
to establish the foundation of his collec
tion. But just there his collecting
stopped. He had no money to pay for
other coins, nor did he know of any one
who had coins to exchange. So he was
not much of a collector after all.
As he rattled the copper and fancied
it gold, he began to think what he
would do with so much money, and the
shadow on his face lighted and his eyes
danced.
•‘Medicine for mother that would
make her well right away—that the first
thing,” he soliloquized. “Then Mary
should go to that type-writing school in
the city aud learn to be a type-writer,
and then get a position at twenty dollars
a month. She’s been a dreamin’ of that
this long time—ever since she read that
piece in the paper. Jhen —then ]’d
have anew pair of shoe->, sure's I’m a livin'
hoy. No secoud-hagd shoes of Sam
Ragland's then.”
This line air-castle was suddenly dashed
to ruins by the sound of approaching
footsteps, and, turning around, he be
held a boy of about his own age, but
heavier and warmly dressed, coming
down the steep path.
The new-comer carried a gun on his
shoulder, aud wore a belt of cartridges
about his waist. At his heels trotted a
dog, a big, shaggy fellow, that cer
tainly had no claim to beauty. The ani
mal resembled his master in this respect,
for the flatter had coarse, unpleasant
features and an awkward body.
“Hullo, Heuley!" said the youug
sportsman, familiarly. “You seem to
have lots of money this morning. I
heard the chink of your coins way up
yonder?”"
Hurry Henley smiled faintly. “Not
very much money,” he said shortly.
“Has old Miser Brown paid you off?”
“Not yet, was the reply. “I'm on my
way up now to finish the job, and then
he’ll pay me, I suppose. I’ll get through
about noon, I guess. These are some old
tipper cents mother gave me.”
“Let me look at ’em,” said the other."’
He Ipaned his gun against the rock
where Harry was, and sat down on a
rock near by.
“ I tramped up the mountain to find
something to shoot, but I haven’t seen a
cottontail this morning,” he remarked.
“This afternoon I’m goin’ over to Car
ter’s Pond; I hear there’s a lot o’ ducks
over there.”
“He took the coins in his hand and
glanced over them carelessly.
“All copper cents, aint they?” said
he.
“I wish one of ’em was dated 1793,
Sam,*’ exclaimed Harry.
“Why?”
‘ ‘lt’d be worth two dollars. There’s a
premium on coppers of that date, be
cause they’re made different from others
and are scarce.”
“Who’ll pay two dollars for one. I’d
like to know?”
“There’s a man in Boston that would,
for he says so in this book I’ve got in my
pocket.”
“What book?”
Harry produced the catalogue, which
was already worn with the owner’s
frequent sfudy of its contents. He
handed it to Sam, pointing to the prize
list- of old cent pieces, but Sam threw it
back with a sniff of disdain.
“I don’t like books!” he declared.
“That’s all bosh, anyway.”
“No, it isn’t,” Harry assented, with
spirit. * “Now, if I had a dollar of 1804,
do you know what I could get for it?
Five hundred dollars!”
Sam was much amused at this state
ment, and burst into a loud guffaw.
“Bosh!” he exclaimed.
“It’s so,” continued Harry, firmly.
“There were thousands of .1801 dollars
coined, but no one knows what become
of ’em, except about ten or twelve.
That’s all any one knows anything about,
this book says. So there’s a sort of a
mystery about that dollar, and it’s so
scarce these rich men in the cities that
like to own curiosities are willing to pay
an awful big price for one of ’em. I tell
ye. I wish I had one!”
“You’re a ninny!” said Sam, con
temptuously. Then he changed the sub
ject bv asking, “When are ye goin’ to
pay me for them shoes, Henley?”
Harry hesitated. “I’m afraid I can’t
take ’em, Sam,” he replied.
“Can’t take ’em! Well, what did re
mean by savin’ you’d take ’em? They’re
good shoes—l never wore ’em much,
’cause they’re too small for me, aud
they’re well worth a dollar, and twice
that. I wouldn’t let anybody else but
you have ’em for a dollar.”
This last remark was of a very per
suasive character, but it lost its force
when Harry remembered that the shoes
had been offered to one boy for ninety
five cents. But he did not refer to this.
“I’ll tell you why I can’t take’em,”
he said. “Mother's come down sick
since I made the bargain with you—she’s
awful sick with pneumonia—and I’ll
have to take all the money I can get to
buy medicine for her.”
The boy’s pinched face was pitiful as
he said this, his eyes bent on the poor
shoes that only half covered his cold teet.
But Sam Ragland was not one to be
touched by any such picture. He began
to scowl.
“I thought you was a feller of yer
word,” he muttered. “You said thetas
soon as old Brown paid you for workin’
up that wood you’d take the shoes. And
you said you thought you'd get yer
money last night cr this morning. Now
I want to go over to . Carter’s Pond this
afternoon, and I’ve got to have some am
munition, 'cause I'm nearly out . I've
been dependin’ on thet dollar you
promised to buy some more shells with,
aud I’ve got to have it, that’s all.”
“I need the shoes bad enough, I
guess,” replied Harry, mournfully; “and
I know 1 told you I’d buy ’em last night
or this morning. But I didn’t get
through the wood as soon as I expected.
There was the biggest four cords I ever
saw. Aud when I promised, mother
wasn't sick—”
“Yer mother bein’ sick don’t have
nothin’ to do with the case, ” averred
Sam, angrily,as he got upon his feet and
took up his gun. “You bargained to
pay me fer them shoes, and you’ve got
to do it or take a lickin’. You said you'd
get through the job about noon, so I’ll
see ye then, an’ bring the shoes, an’ don’t
you forget to have the dollar ready.”
Harry replaced the coius and catalogue
in his pocket and arose, too. Sam did
not wait for him to reply, but whistling
to his dog, strode down the mountain
toward the village.
“I wonder what the old man will pay
me,” Harry murmured to himself, as he
continued his way upward to the cabin.
“He said he’d pay me well. He's so
ajvfully stingy, tnough; I reckon he can’t
pay me less’u two dollars—two dollars
for four cords is awful cheap. Then, if
I have to buy them shoes—l’ll have a
dollar left for the medicine, anyway.
“Old Miser Brown,” as every one in
Meadowville called him, had lived alone
on the mountain for forty years. He was
an avaricious old man, who hoarded his
pennies as if they would save his soul.
It was said that he had a large amount
of gold and silver secreted somewhere
about the hovel he called his home—
monsy that came into his possession when
he was youug. But he spent none of it
except for his scanty needs. •
He had offered to pay Harry Henley
“well” to saw a lot of wood for him—
enough to last him many months, with
his economical use of fuel—and the poor
boy had jumped at the chance of earning
the trifle.
All the forenoon the boy worked at
the pile of wood, which, by his con
tinued application, had been growing
beautifully less, aud was now nearly
done for. At intervals he sat on his
saw-horse to rest, and at such times he
was sure to draw forth the fascinating
coin catalogue.
Bv noon the last stick was sawed, and
Harry knocked at the cabin door to ask
for his hard-earned pay. The old man
shufled out, to make sure that no stick
remained uncut, and then extended in
his withered palm one silver dollar with
out saying a word.
“Harry’B pale face grew still mere
pale. “Is this all you’re going to give
mel” he asked, faintly.
‘•Yes,” was the sharp answer.
“But you said you’d pay me well,
and there was four cords —four big
cords ”
The miser glared at him with the
ferocity of a wild beast. “Not another
cent,” he cried, harshly—“not another
cent, not one, sir!”
“My mother’s sick, Mr. Browu,” began
the boy again, but again he was inter
rupted.
“Clear out!” the old man fiercely ut
tered.. “Clear out!”
With a heavy heart Harry turned away
and took the path down the mountain.
He was almost too dazed and disappointed
to think with any clearness. When ho
arrived at the rock which had afforded
him a seat in the morning, he again sat
down, to brood over his ill-fortune and
plan the disposition of his single dollar.
Before very long he gave expression to
this decision: “I'll take the promised
lickin’ before I’ll take the shoes. That
dollar”—and he made a determined ges
ture with the coin in right hand. But he
did not finish the sentence. As his eyes
fell upon the piece, he started excitedly
to his feet, aud a strange cry came from
his throat.
The coin was bright and new in ap
pearance, and had evidently been iu
circulation but little. But it was not
this that so suddenly animated the boy.
He noted first that the head of “Liberty”
faced to the right, 'instead of to the left,
as on ordinary dollars, and then he saw,
below the bust, the bold, unmistakable
figures, “1804!”
No wonder he was agitated. Iu his
hand was a perfect specimen of the most
famous and valuable of all American coins
—the realization of his dream!
It was Harry’s first impulse to rush
exultantly down So his home and to his
mother’s bedside, and thege proclaim his
extraordinary wealth; but another senti
ment, after a struggle, prevailed,’ and he
went slowly back toward the hut, re
solved to explain to the old miser the
value of the coin which he had been
hoarding so many long years—perhaps
since it was c fined—and return it to him
in exchange for another of the value in
tended to be imparted.
When he knocked at the door the old
man thrust out his head with the savage
inquiry, “What is wanted?”
“You’ve given me a dollar worth five
hundred times a dollar,” Harry began to
explain. “I mean to say,” he stammered
on, “you can sell this for five hundred
dollars, or more—”
“You’re crazy!” cried the old hermit.
“Cleur out! You can get no more money
out of me. Clear out 1”
He slammed the door. Again Harry
started down the mountain. His step
was lighter now. He had done his duty;
his conscience was for the moment elear.
Indignant at his rude treatment, at the
despicable insult, he made up his mind
he would not again attempt to explain
the peculiar value of the coin to the
ignorant miser. The dollar of 1804 was
his—his very own!
llalf-way on the steep descent he met
Sam Ragland, who bore, in addition to
his gun and cartridge-belt, a brown-pa
per parcel. Sam was, as usual, accom
panied by his unsightly dog.
“I’ve brought you the shoes,” was the
young hunter's greeting. “I went to
ver house, but you was so loug cornin’ I
concluded to hunt ye up. I’m on my way
to Carter's Pond now, aud I want thet
dollar to buy ammunition.”
Harry gave a detailed explanation of
the circumstances which prevented his
parting with that precious silver coin,
lie tried to impress upon Sam an idea of
its wonderful value, and he promised him
that iu a few days, as soon as he could
sell the coin, he would take the shoes as
he had agreed; but the youthful rough
was obdurate.
hurled at Harry. “You can't trifle with
me! Gimme thet dollar*”
Harry’s lips closed resolutely as he
drew back from the bully. He would
resist the outrage with all his power. He
attempted to thrust the dollar into his
pocket, but it slipped from his Ungers,
and went rolling down the mountain
side 1
Harry sprang forward after his treasure,
but Ragland blocked his way, and in turn
leaped ufter the coin. But he, too, was
anticipated.
The dog seized the rolling silver-piece
in his mouth, and dashed down the de
clivity at full speed.
After him ran the boys, Sam calling to
liim to stop in harsh, loud tones; but the
dog thought it evidently all play,and did
not obey.
Harry was in despair. His precious
dollar would certainly be lost. The dog
would drop it at some spot where it would
never be found; or, if not that, Sam
would get it, and spend it for ammuni
tion, and in either case his loss would be
irrevocable.
Sam followed the animal as fast as he
could, and Harry kept at his heels, all
the while trying to out-distance him.
Finally, when the bottom of the moun
tain had been reached, Harry made a
spurt and got past his awkward enemy;
but the dog was getting farther and far
ther ahead.
The race into the village was a frantic
and a desperate one. Down the main
street of the town they went, causing
more consternation than the place had
known in many days.
The race ended presently in a dog
fight. Between Ragland's dog and
another cur of the village there was an
unending enmity, and whenever the two
met they fought with great ferocity.
As the mischievous animal, with
Harry’s fortune iu his mouth, dashed
gayly down the street, his canine enemy
made his appearance, and immediately
there was % sharp contest between
them.
While the combat raged and spectators
were gathering, Harry reached the scene
just time to perceive “Jedge” Bloom,
the village Justice of the Peace, pick up
his bright dollar from the ground where
the dog had relinquished it.
“It’smine, Jedge!”hehad just enough
breath left to grasp the words, and the
Justice graciously placed the coin in his
hand without question.
Wher Bam arrived his interest iu the
dollar was for the moment suspended by
the necessity of a quick interference to
save his dog from being worried. L\ hen
at last he got the two beasts separator*.
Harry was safely at home, aud he gave up
his trip to Carter’s Pond in disgust.
Harry wrote to the Boston dealer in
coins, and gave a description of his 1804
dollar, and of the strange circumstance
by which it came into his possession. In
reply he received, a few days later, this
letter:
Dear Sir: If the coin you describe is in as
good condition as you allege, we will pay you
eight hundred dollars for It.
Harry went with this letter to the
miser’s cabin, and tried again to explain
the matter, but Mr. Brown would not
listen. Then Harry sent cn the coin and
promptly received his pay; ami after that,
it is needless to say, his mother* never
suffered for medicine nor he for a pair or
shoes.— Youth's Companion.
A Royal Peace Maker.
The name by which the Prince of
Wales is known in the royal family is
Bertie. That was the pet name (for
short) given to him when he was the
pride of Albert and Victoria’s nursery;
aud it has stuck to him ever since. They
say that when the Queen hears that one
whom she wishes to be friendly with has
become disgruntled she says: “We must
send Bertie to set matters aright.” The
Prince of Wales is a capital peace-maker.
He hates a row and he has a happy facul
ty of smoothing over difficulties and
patching up truces. His younger brother,
the Duke of Edinburgh, is not so happily
constituted; he is more like his mother,
and he seems to take a delight in saying
and doing things which arc popularly
called “unpleasant.” lie married the
only daughter of the Czar, and that
spirited woman has cultivated rather than
softened the young man’s asperity. Her
name is Marie, but she is by no means as
saintly as her name would suggest. She
hates the English, and she is candid
enough to declare that she hates to live
in Euglaud. So, in one way and another,
she makes life lively for her young hus
band, who when he is not saying rude
things, is iuvariably playing on the fid
dle—he is a famous amateur violinist,
you know. It is estimated that the
Prince of Wales spends about half his
time patching up unpleasantnesses which
have been precipitated by his ill-tem
pered brother. It is an open secret that
his recent visit to Coburg was for no rea
son in the world other than to abate the
disrepute which Duke Alfred and
Duchess Marie had fallen into on account
of their evil tempers. Their son was to
be confirmed in the church, but the na
tives were so down on the family that
they were not going to celebrate the
event. To placate the populace and as
sure an appearauce of decency, the Prince
of Wales went all the way to Coburg, at
tended the confirmation, aud made so
favorable an impression upon the public
that the Duke and Duchess have got (at
it were) another lease upon the affections
of the Coburg people. Chicago Jb'ews.
Lions as Gentle as Doves.
Among naturalists and other scientists
it has till now been the universal opinion
that lions were not safe to tame,and even
when fairly tamed,were not to be trusted.
In Paris, however, the experience of a
daring tamer, Hagenbeck, has been ex
ceedingly successful. Hagenbeck’s method
lias been something like the following:
In infancy, the two cubs born in captivity
were allowed full sway as far as their
natural movements were concerned.
Gradually the others wjiom he desired to
train were allowed to associate with them,
and in this way, by slow degrees, they
also became tame and very friendly to the
people about them. They have been
trained to do many surprising things,
such as drawing a chariot around the
cirque at full speed—a sport they seem
to taae a lively interest in, as they re
spond to the command of the driver
readily; forming a pyramid as trained
horses are made to do in cireuses, and
standing on their hind-quarters in obe
dience to the raised hand of the trainer.
Of course, to make the exhibition en
tirely safe to spectators as well as train
ers. there are always a large number of
attendants on hand. The tamer, M.
Hagenbeck enters, whip in hand, and
accompanied by a dog. Through the
entrance at the same moment come four
lions. One goes up to the tamer and
licks his hand with her tongue in an af
fectionate way. All four then turn to
ward a bench, where they lie down. At
a word two of the lions rise, and, coming
forward, take in their mouths a line of
ribbon from the hands of the trainer. Un
winding it, they each hold an end of the
line while the dog jumps over it. The
lions stand as still as though carved of
stone, except for an occasional waving
motion of the tails. —Times Democrat.
A 8225,000 Schonlhouse.
The School Board of Mannheim, in
Baden, Germany, claims to have the
model common schoolhouse of the world.
The building has just been completed at
an expense of $225,000. It contains
forty-two ordinary school rooms, two
rooms for drawing, two for singing, two
for handwork, a large gymnasium, a hall
for public exercises, two meeting rooms
for directors, two sets of rooms for ser
vants, and four little prison cells for re
fractory pupils. The materials in the
structure are almost exclusively iron and
brick. The ceilings of all the rooms,
corridors, and the big hall, are of con
crete. The floors of the class rooms are
hard wood laid on asphalt. They are
supposed to be so constructed as to ren
der the accumulation of dust and the
breeding of bacteria impossible. The
building is heated by a low-pressure
steam system. In the basement are swim
baths. The boys’ baths accommodates
twenty at once, and the girls’ bath fif
teen. Half of the basement is a huge,
tsright room, full of tables and chairs.
Here in winter 900 poor children will re
ceive a half pint of milk and a roll each
daily for luncheon. In the ninety win
ter days, during wiych this arrrngement
will prevail, the directors estimate that
they will give away 20,250 quarts of
milk and 81,000 rolls
