The Lost Oloset.
In the days gone by there was a
place and a time very full of bless¬
edness. You can remember the lit¬
tle room whose door was locked
while you gathered its stillness
around you. You remember the
chair.before which you knelt. What
scenes of glory and of blessedness
in your soul’s life were witnessed
there! You remember the first time
when in the depth of your despair
you sank down and sobbed out your
confession of sinfulness and help¬
lessness, and when, you hardly know
how, you looked to Jesus as your
Savior. Then there came to you,
like the blush of morning, the dawn¬
ing of hope in your heart, the bur¬
den uplifting itself, and a strange
joy coming in that yon never knew
before. Your prayer was turned to
thanks and praises. The room be¬
came from that hour very attractive.
From gay companies where smiles
and laughter were about you and
you wore glad for the pleasant fel¬
lowship, you sought it and found it.
good to draw near to God. It was
a sanctuary, very calm and peaceful.
You remember that day when a
joy came to you, and you knelt there
and took the joy of God while you
praised him for it. You remember
that day when your first real grief
swept over you and in your tears
and through your sobs you said—
“Though knowest all, help me!”—
The great shadow was over you, and
the night and storm were around
you, but there in that room you
seemed to hear a voice which you
recognized, saying, “It, is I.” It
grew into a habit with you to go
thither, and the hour that you had
selected seemed •to'have*a low call
that you gladly answered, and you
went in—it was to meet some One
there. If at any time you missed
the visit to the place of prayer, there
was something wanting all day.
All this was long ago. Of late it
has not been so with you. You do
not much miss the closet now. You
can go through all the day and feel
no special vacancy in your heart, ex¬
cept at times when thrre comes a
sudden and sharp pang that makes
you cry out for what is lost. But
that is only for a moment, the rush
and the hurrying thoughts bear you
on and away. You say your pray¬
ers night and morning, you say them
hurriedly, but there is no hour and
no place that now grows swett and
solemn in it.s sweetness because you
find itgood to draw near to God. Trie
closed door and the silence do not
now bring hallowed thoughts. The
closet has gone. Perhaps the room
is there, but the prayers are away.
The joys, the gentle comfort of those
earlier days, the radiant openings of
the Bible, the vistas cometimes nar¬
rowing in the distance toward the
heavenly city where the home etern¬
al is, the hopes, the undefined yet
pervading satisfaction and quiet rest
—you can only say of them:
“Blossoms of peace once in my path
way springing,
i* your beauty and your fra
irrance k none'-'''
_ Perhaps remember—yo
you can
can if you try—when the closet U
gan to lose all that made it your
meeting-place with God. You recall
the growing reluctance to linger
there, the effort which seemad nec¬
essary in making the moments go by,
the more hurried prayers. Perhaps,
were you willing to think of them,
you could recall the reasons for all
this and the causes; the subtle
fluences which came in and made
this pervading change in a place
which once was so radiant and so
dear.—Dr. Aik man in Observer.

Oaut. Boggs’ Trick.
From the Boston Traveler.
Capt- Boggs, a Virginian wlio held
a captain’s license on the Mississippi
river before lie was of age, and who
for fourteen years had the contract
to supgly the millitary post in Utah,
Coloiwlo. New Mexico and Arizona
with IK^ta-down ■fiel, tells the following story:
in the Uto reserva
tie. N Colorado, and bad strolled
d-J vto the shores of a small lake,
\vhik|my mules ami teamsters were
catirfi' dinner, when I came .across a
par ,1 of about a dozen Indians. They
wergjarmed with rifles, and were
shooting at a*"snag which stuck out
of the watei about 200 yards distant
The stakes for ’.which they were
shooting were composed of 25c. from
each pian. I stood watching them for
some time, and then decided to en¬
ter the competition. Each man had
three shots, and the man who hit the
snag the most times won the pot.
rile misses were told by the splash
in the water, the hits by the absance
of the plash.
“After some parly with the red'
skins I got them to allow me to en¬
ter the match, though they compell¬
ed me to deposit half a dollar, while
they put in but a quarter. 1 bad a
Henry repeater with me that,^fortun¬
ately for my purpose, was then un¬
loaded. I was accounted one o'' the
best shots in that country,.but knew
that the Indians were not by any
means slow. I slipped three cartrid¬
ges into my rifle, and as I did so 1
broke' the ball off, thus leaving a
blank'cartridge. Of course no splash
followed any of my shots, and the
Indians thought I had hit the snag
every time. I won that pot, but the
ti -xt time I intentionally lost by not
te‘caking the ballsioff find by? tat-kig
indifferent aim.
“I then broke all the balls off un¬
til I had won $18. Then the Indians
who began to look at me with sus 1
pioion owe, refused to shoot any
more. 1 invited them up to the store
and spent the money on knick-knacks
which I divided among them. I then
took them back to the lake and show
ed them the trick. They were very
much surprised, but took it in good
part.
“On'returning that/way a few
days after I found the same Indians
on the lake shore,”shooting a big
match with a neigboring tribe, whom
they were rapidly cleaning out of
everything. I learned that they had
‘skinned’ every Indian in the country
that they could get to shoot against
thorn. I said nothing, but mused on
the readiness of the savage to adopt
the white man’s tricks.”

A Smart Boston Boy.
From the Washington Critic.
A nice little boy, reared in the in¬
tellectual and heterodox atmosphere
of Boston, happened to be a witness
in a case in Cincinnati, and the ques¬
tion arose as to his being old enough
to understand the nature of an oath,
so the judge investigated him.
“Well. Wendall,” he said, kindly,
“do you know where bad little boys
gri'gtrwf iTni" wrey die?”■
- “No sir,” replied the boy, with
“Goodness giacious!” exclaimed
the Judge, in shocked surprise;
“don’t you know they will go to
hell?”
“No, sir; do you?”
“Of course I do.”
“flow do you know?”
“My Biblo tells me so.”
“Is it true?”
Certainly it is.”
“Can you prove it?”
“No, not positively; but wc take
it on faith,” explained the Judge.
“Do you accept that kind of testi¬
mony m this court?” inquired the
boy coolly.
But the Judge didn’t answer; be
held up his hands and begged the
lawyers to take the witness.

Tkanksgiving Day.
The best of Thanksgiving Day is
that it makes us acquainted with our
happiness. A popular clergyman of
Boston told a story the other Sun¬
day which showed how much some
of us need this information. There
are many people in the word who
would be happy if they did but know
how happy they are.
“You have had a successful sum¬
mer,” said our clergyman to a prosi
perous farmer of New England.—
“Your barns are full.”
“Yes,” replied the farmer, not in
a contented tone; “my barns are full
—of hay.'"
The poer man, his eyes fixed upon
things he had not, got no joy from
the good thing he had. But he had
a very good thing indeed, for in cold
and bleak New England, barns full
of hay arc convertible into sll sorts
of nice, warm and pleasant commod¬
ities. Upon the whole, they ate the
fanner’s surest standby.
There are families who have all
the means of happiness—home abun¬
dance, friends, honor, art, books,
health—and yet they have ordinari¬
ly no vivid sense of enjoyment.—
They do not salute the morn with
gladness, nor reap from the passing
day its possible harvest of delight.
But let Thanksgiving come, bring¬
ing home the absent members, and
flooding the house with cheerful¬
ness! Mow changed their mood!—
They had all this wealth of means
of enjoyment before, and in a lan¬
guid way they knew it. But Uncle
John on the other side of the AIie>
ghanics, and Uncle John beam in i
across tiie table, are two different
creatures.
The one the boys know as s<y mo
oiici front! whom filth if r:('ei\ ’
letter occasionally, and to who».'s;'M»
writes at long intervals; the other is
a hearty, jolly fellow, who cracks
his jokes and tells good stories in a
voice as loud as it is jovial. And yet.
so far as flesh and blood and bones
is concerned, the two are one.
The festive day reveals to ns the
most real of all our wealth, the love
•>f kindred and friends, and the good
influence of the season warms u;
thi-otigh the year.—Youth’s Com

Reports of Newspaper Circulation
There is no public faith in the ac
curacy of the daily reports of news¬
paper circulation which have been
published in many journals. Even
when sworn to they are not believed
for the reason that they may be hon>
estly sworn to and yet, be largely
false. Any number of papers may be
printed and distributed and sworn to
as circulation; but how many are re¬
turned? how many are not sent to
Bona fide readers? If the cash pay¬
ments for circulation were honestly
sworn to, the honest circulation
would be reached; but no newspa¬
per has ever attempted that only hon¬
est test of bona fide readers. Pur¬
chases by political committees; spe¬
cial sales to advertisers, which are
often made at nominal prices to give
the appearance of circulation; sped
men papers sent free through canvas¬
sers or by mail to introduce the pa¬
per bear no relation to bona fide
newspaper circulation, and journals
which specially force and boost cir¬
culation always withobl from their
public figures the large percentage
of papers not read or paid for.—Phil
anelphia Times.

Uheziah Slaton, who lives in the
southwest corner of Fayetto county,
is the father of so many children that
he cannot call all their names, lie
has been married twice and had eigh¬
teen children by one wife and twelve
by the other, and it is related as an
actual fact that he has refused to ac¬
cept bets that lie could not call the
name of all of them in the order of
their ages, acknowledging his inabil¬
ity to do so. He had five grown sons
in one oompany of Col. Boynton's
regiment. Mr. Slaton is now about
70 years old, and is large and mus
cular, hale and hearty, doing a good

illy, hut for an intelligent person to
fear it or to flee from the animal, im
stead of giving it a kick, is but a
cowardly exhibition of deference to

So spoke Smith to Brown, when
up the street a block distant was
heard an awful clamor. Women
screamed, men yelled and ran. Down
the middle of the thoroughfare came
the cause of all the tumult. It was
a cur, small, yellow, frothing at the
month, and yelping, and snarling,
and small boys were shouting “Mad
dog!” Biown dived for the nearest
cellar. “Smith will kick the thing
and kill it,” he thought, “then I’ll
come out ”
Brown came out a few minutes
later Smith was up a lamp post hug¬
ging the crossbar still. A newsboy
had captured the dog and was can
rying it off by the scruff of the neck.
He said it was his dog and often had
fits that way. Then Smith came down
“Why didn’t you kick the animal?”
said Brown.
Smith’s reply was vague.

From the Rambler.
“Tommy,” said the politician curt
ly to his 10-year-old son, “I bought
a case of beer the day beforo yester¬
day.”
“Did you, pa?” queried the boy
innocently. “How nice.”
“Tommy,” still more sternly—
“don’t you try to deceive your fa¬
ther. Over half that case has gone
already. What do you do with it?”
“Weil, pa, whimpered the boy
apologetically, “you see we organ¬
ized a football club yesterday/'
“And did that call for the use of
beer?”
“Yes, I was running for office.”
“Urn—ah—polities, eh? Well,
that makes a difference. Did you
get it?”
“Yes, I was elected captain.”
“You were, ch? Well, see here,
