A youth of 18wbowa* in the trench es nt El Coney carrying a gun was so badly frightened under fire that be want flat on his face and wei ronndly kicked by his companions. Geowal Chaffee came along and called to him, “Well, you’re a fine aoldierf” Then be looked at the boyish face of the kid, and his face softened. “I suppose you can’t help it,” he said. “It ain’t so much your fault I’d like to get hold of tbe fellow that took you into the ar my.” By and by he put his hand on the boy’s shoulder. “There isn’t so much danger as youthink for,’’raid the general. "Now, you get up and take yofir gun and fight, and I’ll stand here by you.” The boy got up, shaking like a leaf and fired hie first shot pretty near straight into the air. “That’s pretty high,” said the gen eral. “Keep cool and try it again.” In three minutes that kid was fight ing like a veteran and cool as a cucum ber, and when he saw it tbe general started on. I “You’re all right now, rod boy,” he said. “You’ll make a good soldier. ” “God bless you, sir,"said the young ster. “You saved me from worse than death. ” And be was pretty close to cry ing when he said it. After a while tbe order came to re tire from tbe trench, and soldiers bad to collar that kid and haul him away by the neck to get him to retreat with hi&company. And at that he’d got a bullet through the fleshy part of his shoulder an hour before. In tbe rest of the fights there wasn’t a better soldier in the company.—Chicago Journal. Theatrical “Props.” Props comprise all the portable arti cles required in a play. Guns and pis tols—which too often fail to go off t the critical moment—are props; loav of bread, fowls, fruit, all made of rough papier mache, are also prop* We may also include those wondrous gilt goblets, only seen on the stage, which make such a nonmetallio thud when they fall and bounce upon the boards, as among the achievements of the prop erty man. But it is at pantomime time that that individual is at his busiest. Big masks and make believe sausages and vegeta bles, without which no pantomime would be complete, are mingled with fairy wands, garlands of artificial flow ers, basket work frames for the accom modation of giants and other articles too numerous to mention. How the right things are forthcom ing at the right moment is one of those mysteries only known to property men.

This, says Tbe Scottish Leader, is a genuine extract from a schoolboy’s re cent “Ejsay on Nelson:” “Oh! Harding; kiss me again,“were the butefull words of a her oik mortal who won a grate battle with one eye and a wooden leg. Before the bloody context this motto was uttered by him. “The queen expects every man to do his duty.” When he died the queen met him in a boat and he went to St. Paul’s and was buried. This is a marvelous i lesson to me and all schoolboys. Do your duty to your parstore and masters and then even with a single leg you can . say, “with this simple thing I will do my duty.” As Nelson himself said, ' “Eventhough you are only man you can do your duty.” Human Nature. “You know,” said the collector rather plaintively, “you said that you 1 would pay me if I came today. ” i “Well,” answered Mr. Bildew, “yotv must bear in mind that human natm<n ' is human nature.

Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. Original insurance in 1845, Dividend additions paid in 1898,* .M/lzo.w Amount of death claim 54 Premiums paid by insured Realized to estate over premiums paid SB.BBB 00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (W P® cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,000 at aue 40. to $17,028 at age 94. ’ The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums i paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
