"Why, bless your heart, I never went to a circus in nil uiy life!" she exclaimed in reply. "But you are uot too old to begin," he suggested. "Let ine put the pictures up, and I'll leave you teu tickets of admission. You can go and take all your friends." "Land o' massy, but you dou't know Bebee's Corners! Everybody around here Is a Methodist or Baptist or Presbyterian—everybody but me—and they won't even attend camp meeting if lemonade ls to be sold on the grounds. I don't exactly know what my religion ts, but If I went to a circus nobody Would ever speak to uie again." The circus man wanted his bills on thnt barn, nnd he argued and reasoned for half an hour. lie saw that Aunt Sarah was an Independent character and that If he could get her started she'd be ready to defy public opinion. The result was that she finally saisl: "Well, go ahead with your pictures. I never saw nu elephant or lion or tiger In my life, and I'll go and see the menagerie part anyhow. There '11 be an awful row around bere, and folks will think that Sntnu has got hold of me, but I'll have to stand it." The pictures wero hardly up when Deacon Danforth happened along the highway nnd saw them. lie turned pale and trembled. Not in twenty years before had a barn on the Red Mill road been thus defiled. When he had recovered a little from the shock, ho walked to the house and confronted the widow. Kor the first fifteen minutes the conversation wns devoted to Satan, hiiiies, Lot's wife, Judas Iscnriot and siiliiT interesting subjects. But It gradually tapered off to hyenas, boa constrictors and alligators, and the deacon was almost smiling when he left the house. Next day Deacon Bidwell saw those pictures as he sat in his buggy behind bis old white horse. The horse saw them before he did and stopped so suddenly thut the deacon was pitched against the dashboard. For a long minute the good old man thought his eyes deceived him, but the true state of affairs finally dawned upon him, and he groaned and sighed and drove up to the widow's gate. "Wldder Behee, havo you sold your llvin' soul to Satan?" was his greeting, and then the fur flow. It was neatly tat hour before he left the hous". but he wasn't Rlghlng and groaning as lie went. On tbe contrary, he looked rather cheerful, and he called bask from the gate: "Yes; I s'pose there '11 be camels there with two humps, mebbe witli three, and they'll be wuth lookin' at." There was one more deacon In the neighborhood, Deacon Burton. He was driving to town to get a pitchfork mended nnd was humming the air of "I Want to Be an Angel" when lhe col'ired posters suddenly confronted him. There were short skirted, long legged damsels poised on barebacked horses or Jumping through paper covered hoops. lie stood and gazed and felt cold chills go up ids back. He drove on to the farmhouse, half expecting to find the Widow Behee trying to turn handsprings over a kitchen chair. "I wouldn't 'a' believed it, widder—I wouldn't 'a' believed It!" he began as he entered the house. "It's the awfnlest tiling I ever heard of, and you know I've bin in Chicago twice and seen somo awful things." The widow had n reply ready. It he- Ban with hyenas nnd worked up to elephants, taking in lions, timers, grizzly bears and sea lions ns it rose upward, She talked so earnestly and well that When Deacon Burton was ready to go he reluctantly admitted: "No, I dou't 'spose it's nny more barm to look nt n lion than to look at a Woodchuck if you don't git mad and rip and swear over lt." There were others besides tlie den* cons. There was old Mrs. Gaynor, lor Instance. She wasn't exactly u zealot, but she never took a dozen eggs to market without asking Heaven to bless them and make the price 11 cents a dozen. She wasn't a bigot, but she contended that her own brand of iv llgion was the only one to lie saved by. She wasn't narrow minded, but when she heard of those circus posters She went dowu to see Aunt Sarah and to say: "I've Just stepped ln a mlnlt to say that If you go to that circus I can't never let you enter my doors ag'ln." Aunt Sarah started in to nrgits*. but Old Mrs. Gaynor was on her guard against the wiles of Satan and wouldn't wait for farther tall;. The day of the circus arrived, nnd the widow drove into Medina to attend it. Kor some reason not to be explained a dozen farmers around her had business In town that day and made un early start—some of theni before daylight Some of them also lin gered and drove home nfter dark. It was all over the neighborhood that Aunt Sarah defied public opinion, and It was old Mrs. Gaynor who determined to bring her to book. She went about lt In malevolence. She got up what she cnlled u quilting bee and asked tho three deacons and their wives and three or four others, and at a proper hour Aunt Snrnh was sent for to lyt cruflhed. She arrived, and wheu asked if she hml anything to say she j very calmly replied! "I didn't intend to see mitliiti" but the animals, but when I got In these Satan beckoned me into the circus tent, and l went The Jokes of the clown tickled ! me nlmoNt to death. That's nil I've gel to say." "Deacon Danforth, what do you think ' of such conduct'.'" asked Mrs. Gaynor . ns sho folded her arms and rolled up ; her eyes. , "Xuthlu', Vept that I sat Jest behind Aunt Sarah and was tickled, too!" he . replied. "And you, Deacon Bidwell'." "Waal, the bosses was wonderfully trained- wonderfully. I can't skarse* ly make out how they do It." "And you, Deacon Burton? You ain't goln' to tell me you was there too!" "I got kind of tired lookin' at the two hump camels, and as one ticket admitted to all I went Into tho circus part," admitted tho deacon. "And where did you all git tickets?" j demanded the accuser as a sudden thought (lashed across her mind. ; "Aunt Sarah gave us deadheads I" answered the three deacons in chorus. ' "And left me out, when she knew I was Jest dyin' to see the whole thing! Well, now, you can nil go home without any supper, and If I ever speak to one of you ag'ln I hope to fall dead on my own doorstejs!" HlR-hs*r lOiliicnllon.

The handful of people who inhabit a certain little island ill the Atlantic, off the coast of Donegal, enjoy so much health and bo little wealth that there is no doctor on the spot.

On one occasion somo Islanders who were obliged to summon the doctor found that he had gone to Dublin on bu- Iness. As the case wns urgent, they lnv iked the services of another practitioner. This gentleman was n Scotsman, with the proverbial cannines; of Ids race, and he declined to undertake the voyage unless he received his fee, a golden sovereign, ln advance. There wns no help for it. nnd the money was paid. The physician went to the Island and attended to the case.

To begin with, It was spring. With the delicious odor of resinous smoke from the boughs that hud banked the house assailing one's nostrils, who could resist joining the dancing silhouettes that circled the bonfire and daring one's fate by leaping across it ln swaggering competition as the flames died down? But she drew lurid pictures of bis certain fate if he should repeat the of tense. Blind defiance rose Insurgent Within hlm-lie would go! And then nil of a sudden be remembered what his father said and hung his head to think how those grave, kind eyes of his wouisl look at blm now. "Take good care of mamma," he bad said at the last. "You must, be bor big brother and never let her worry about you, she's so little and delicate." And then he had whispered over two or three times, "My pretty little wife—my dear little girl!" And De Peyster had tried with all his might to remember. But often it did seem ns If it would have been a little easier if she could have understood that one was disgraced if one did not keep neck nnd neck with "the other fellows" In every prank they played. There was a long nnd weary period of door-yard discipline after tbis episode. There wen. a good many times when De Peyster had to clinch his fists as tight as he could and remember his father very hard. By and by June came, quivering with gold green sunlight, perfumed witli a universal blossoming and pungent with the joy of living. At this time every true boy thrills with the half realized rapture of it all and finds the fullest expression of his ecstasy In going swimming. Every bright morning In some part of tho town there was sure to be a group of boys toeing a line, their necks bobbing eagerly forward and their bodies giving anticipatory jerks nnd twitches ns they waited for the word. When the leader said "Go!" they darted forth, and there was a kaleidoscopic and dissolving view of h'gs racing madly down a side street that led to the river. Then collars came off, coats followed, as they ran with undiminished speed, the fellow who was farthest ahead sometimes slowing up with magnificent daring to get off his shoes and stockings while the others were still hampered by shirts and trousers, and by the time they tumbled In lia-ad- long competition over the bank the nimblest carried their entire wardrobe on their arms and flashed wbitely Into the water while the laggcrs fumbled at their shoe lacings. The unfortunate who popped Into the river, flushed and panting, after all the rest were in was greeted with taunting cries of: "Lubber last! Lubber last!" De Peyster had never been told not to go in swimming. It had not occurred to his mother as among the list of his possible perils, as she was in blissful Ignorance of the fact that "the other fellows" did it. So it was witb the thrilling exult ance of the Greek runner that he set his toe on the line with the rest and hurled himself forward, head up and elbows in. The first few rods it felt liko flying. His feot scarcely seemed to touch the ground. Then a pair of legs Bashed by him, and another and another. He gathered his strength und shot forward again, but another pair of legs went by, and another and another. They were teariug off their coats; thoy were stripping off their shirts. He felt nt his collar, wrenched it off and flung it nway, to have both hands free for his coat and shirt. They were almost at the bank now. lie could seo Mi.ky Daly's white skin dazzle In the sun as be took a splendid dive ahead of the rest. His own feet were crowing heavy, and there was a ml"*, before bis eyes. The knot In his -hoe lacing would not coins* untied. A Ravage rage tilled him, If he could have cut off his foot to rid himself of the ha tap.'ring shoe, he would scarcely have hesitated. You were ruled out if you went into the water with anything left on. As he struggled and perspired and agoni/ed the two or three whom he hail distanced leaped past blm, and as ho shook the shoe off at last and made his dive he heard tho air ringing with, "Lubber last! Lubber last." and slowly realised that lt was nii-ant for him. He tried manfully two or three other days, but It was nlways the same wny. Ills muscles were flabby from tho door- yard discipline, nnd ho could not pick up in a few Weeks what the others had acquired through joyous years of summer vagabondage. He took It quietly nnd good natured* ly, but it went deep. His mother found out the custom shortly and forbade him to go near the water. As for De Peyster himself, the numbness of despair settled upon him. Now he could uever learn to redeem himself, to have some day perhaps Uie Ineffable joy of being the first lu, ahead of Jimmy Spratt, ahead of Micky Daly, ahead of everybody. Ills career was ended before It had begun. "But 1 put to not let her worry," was the rueful conclusion lie always reached. And then he breathed bard nnd winked fast. Jimmy was his constant friend ond brought hlm alleviating messages from time to time, such as that the other fellers all said he had lots of sand and could do as well a:, tbe next feller if he had halt'a chain e. When even these encouraging remarks ceased to comfort, he gave him his own horned toad as u last desper uie resort. The effect was wonderfully efficacious, but transitory. "I'd oughter been a girl," said De Peyster many times to himself, "but 1 wish she didn't want to make believe I nm one when 1 ain't." This was the neurest to a reproach that he allowed his loyal little heart to entertain, but a bullied, unchlldllkQ look grew in his eyes as he watched his mates go off without hlm day alter day. In July a light epidemic of scarlet fever prevailed. The oldest Inhabitants culled it "walking scarlatina," the Illness was so slight. Mrs. Van Voort kept D« Peyster ln the house. One day De Peyster caught lt. Ile regarded it rather In the nature of a festal occurrence thau otherwise, for all the boys who had had It enme up to see him, and, although they were not allowed to stand long, It cheered him amazingly to hear what thoy were doing, for he hail constantly the hope, that these new delights they told of one after another would not be on the forbidden list when he was out again. But after awhile he did not seem to care whether they caine or not and one day When told that Micky Daly waited below said languidly, "1 guess I don't care about seeing hlm just now -I'm sorter tired—but tell hlm lt Ml be bully to have hlm come tomorrow." But when tomorrow came no oue was admitted, for lie was tossing about in a weakening struggle with something he did not understand that those who watched by him realized only too well. He heard a voice as if from very far away: "You'd better tell him, doctor," It saiil. "I cnn't Stand It to see him fight for his life like a little Trojan when it Isn't any use." The voice broke and then went on: "He's a bravo little chap, brave enough to face anything, and It Isn't treating him square not to let hiin say goodby." I le Peyster opened his eyes. The ductal' was standing over bim. "You don't have to tell me," said lie Peyster, fsir he dimly saw thut the oid doctor's lips were quivering. "I— 1 guess—I know." lie felt for his mother's hand. "I'd like to hear you sing just once lir; i. mamsic," he said. "There's a bully song one of the fellers taught me, 'One Wide Blver.' I've liked It specially much since—since it ivorried you to have me go In swimming." iiis mother sobbed out a few lines, faltered ami stopi ed. A look of patient disappointment came over his face. "Never mind, mamsle, you needn't," he gasped. "I'm going to sa'e it. ymi know, so it doesn't matter. Won't the cool water feel good, though! And don't you worry, niamsio. Who's afraid? Father '11 find mi'!" He lay quite still a moment; then lie whispered: "I would 'a' liked to try one more run with the fellers-Micky Daly was most always ahead lie's a peach sprinter. You tell him and Jimmy nnd the other fellers about—about nie and the wide river. Tell 'em this time I- I ain't lubber last!" And he slipped away to find that unknown river, the bravest of little pioneers. What Ws-itrlril Blm, A friend once nsked an aged man what caused blm to complain so often nt eventide of pain ami weariness. "Alas," replied he. "I have every day so much to do. I have two falcons to tame, two hares to keep from running away, two hawks to manage, a serpent to confine, a lion to chain and a sick man to tend and wait upon." "Well, well," commented his friend, "you are busy Indeed! But 1 didn't know that you had anything to do with a menagerie, How, then, do you make that out?" "Why," continued the old man, "listen. Two falcons are my eyes, which I must guard diligently; the two hares nre my feet, whieh I must keep from walking In the ways of sin; tin' two hawks are my hands, whieh I must train to work, that I may provide for myself and those dependent on nie us well as for a needy friend occasionally; the serpent Is my tongue, which I must keep ever bridled lost it speak unseemly; the lion Is my heart, witli whieh I have a continual light lest evil tilings come out of it, and the sick man is my whole body, which Is always needing my watchfulness and care. All tliis daily wears out niy sl length." in Porfect Aiii.rii. Some years ago there enme to an American city a delightful German, Ilerr vou Blitz, who intended to support himself by giving lessons in his native tongue. When he had been here several months and had secured a moderate number of pupils, ho went one day to the mother of one of them and to her great surprise asked for her daughter's hand in marriage. "But, my denr sir," said she, "my daughter has no fortune." The suitor smiled upon her ln nn expansive generosity. "Me, too!" snld he reassuringly. "And, although we are nol rich, we have thus far been able to give her every comfort. She is indeed used to luxury." "Me, tool" was the smiling rejoinder. "But, Ilerr von Blitz, she will never be able to manage affairs." "Me, too!" rejoiced the lover. "And I feel obliged t„ tell you that my daughter has u very high temper " I "Mo too! Mo too!" That was enough. Tin* mother rn- ! tired trom the contest, and tho professor won his suit. Youth's Companiou.

THE Chamiierlain Ol Is worthy of its name. J. M. Fartler, Limits-", Montreal. Much has been written In the worbl of fiction about Vampires and their awful doings in the way of bloo sucking. As a matter of fnct, thcro is practically only ono bloodsucking Vuinpiro Hul, although thero is h smaller one which connects iiv common ipcclcs with the othor members of Iho family. The first one, the co-.nnon bloodsucking Vampire, measures only about three iachis inl length, is of a roddlsh-brown color, j anil is found fi'";.'i Central /•.morira! to southern Drazil, on.thc east, and in tha.

After a long, heavy sii p all day, this Vampire comes out nt night. hovors about in ghostly fashion until it has selected its victim, end then sets to work. In the tirst placo it proceeds—should the animal be- wooly or thickly haired—to carefully shuve away the hair or wool, with the thin part of the skin, by its po culiarly sharp upper incisor teeth.

Horses, sheep and cattle are often served in tliis way; and es the operation apparently causes little or no pain, tho animals are not cognisant of what is going on; but should the attacks bo repeated, they become weak and thin, and finally become wrecks.

Aa fullv expected, 11. A. Bradshaw, postmaster of this city, has received the Liberal nomination for the Slocan riding. He is an upright, honest man and deservedly popular among his acquaintances, and may be expected to carry the full weight of Ids party vote. But his candidature ends right thoro, simply because the Liberals cannot develop the necessary strength away from this place. The farcical character of tlie Grit convention may be so»n in the fact that only four places in the riding were represented, thore actually lieing but .seven dole- gates present in person, with three proxies. More judgment and less enthusiasm would hare convinced the delegate*! from their scanty representation that their cause was hopeless.
