; Thw Barefoot Boy.
wiJlthe pink and white coluZfibTire-uf-
the woodland, and the breath ' of the
cellar, and the' incense of burning over
shoes in the back yard, comes the lit
tie. bare foot boy with, fawn colored
hair, and a droop to bis pantaloons.'
-Poverty is not the grand difficulty
with the barefoot boy of spring. ' It is
the wild, ungovernable desire to wiggle
hisjtoes in the ambient air, and to
soothe his par-boiled heels in the
yielding mud. , . "
. fI see bim now in my mind's cv,
making hi annual appearance, like a
rheumatic housefly, stepping high, like
a bliud horse. He. has just left his
shoes iu the wood shed and stepped out
on the piazza, to proclaim that violet
eyed spring is here, All over the land
the gladiolus hulb and the ice men be
gin to swell. The south wind aud the
new born calf at the barn, begin to
sigh. The oak tree and the dude be
gin to put h their spring apparel. Alt
nature is gay. The thru.-h is tiugiug
iu the asparagus orchard, and the pu
ma donna dues her throat up iu. a - red.
fliuuelrag, to wait for another -"seu-ou..
AJ1 these things indicate! spring, but
thev are not so ceitaiu and unfailing a
the little barefoot' boy, whose white
feet are thrust in the face of the ap
proacbing season. Five month from
now, loose little dimpled feet, now to
bleached a'ud tender, will look' like a
mud-turtle's back, and "the superior
aud leading toe will ' have a bandage
around it, tied with a piece of ' old
thnai. .-. "
Who would believe that the budding
hoodlum before us, with the yellow
chilblain on his heel and ' the early
spring toad iu bis pocket, which he will
present to the timid teacher as a testi
monial of his regard this afternoon.
may be the Moses who will lead the
Ameiicau people forty years hence in. o
the glorious sunlight of a promised
land. ...
He may possibly do it but be doesn't
look like it now. ..
Yet John A. 'Logan and jSamuei - Til-
den were onoebarefooted boys -with a
buspender apiece. It doesn't seem pos
sible does it?. .-
How can we imagine at this time
that Julius Csesar and Hannibal Ham
lin and Lucretia Borgia at some time or
ether stubbed tbeir bare toes against a
root aud filled the horizon with pianis
tiuio wails.
The barefoot boy of spring w ill also
proceed to bathe in the river as soou as
tue ice and the policeman are out. He
will choose ar pointou the.; boulevard.
where he can get a good view of -those
who pass, and in company with eleven
Other little barefoot boys, he. will dre8
himself in an ' Adam vest, a pair of
bareskin pantalooua, a Greek - slave
overcoat and a yard of sunlight, and
gaze earnestly at those who go by on
the other side. Up and down the bank
pasting each other with mud, the . little
tareloot boys Of spring chase each
other, with their vertebrte sticking into
the warnVaud sleepy air, while down in
the marsh, where the cat tails, and the
broad fltgs, aud the peach can, and the
deceased horse grow, the bull frog is
twittering to Its mate. -
Later on the hoarse voice of a rude
parental snorter is heard approaching,
and twelve slim pupids witn sunburned
hacks are iueerted into twelve 'tle
cotiou shirts and' twelve desponaent
pairs of despondent pantaloons bang
at half-mast to twelve home-made 6us
penders, and as the gloaming gathers
about the old home, twelve boys back
up against the Ice-house to cool off,
while the enraged parent bangs up the
buggy whip in the old place. Bill

A large and appreciate audience
greeted the Maude Atkinson company.
at the' Opera House - last . evening, at
which time was produced the great
drama of the Two Orphans. The play
is one of the strongest this company
has produced here, and especially
toward its close' was the - audience
very ... attentive, and the applause
generous, ine bouse was the largest
this company has played to during
the week, and shows that a better
acquaintance with the company gives
them a better audience.- Tonight their
farewell night in the city, they present
the gn at drama of the Galley Slave,
and the company Will ' appear at their
best.
There is one man happy in the city

the announcement that bis daughter

In comparing this stalement-wUh a

Fremont were $23,7 35 25.
We pay for all teachers , $6932.70,

We have in the city"-1559 . children,
while in Fremont they have only 1221

Our total expenditure : is S1277G.14,

that while Fremont has 300 children
less than we have, their expenses are
much higher. They pay their teachers
more than $2,000 in excess of the sum
paid to teachers in this city. ,
Mad Dugs-
"There- is considerable . excitement
brewing in the city over the act that
mad dogs are reported here,Hnd several
have - -already "been, killed.' The other
day Chief of Police Morrison shot one
that .had every appearance of being
mad. and which . bit ho less than ten
dosa before he was killed. Since then
three or four othepVdogs have been
killed by the police, one meeting its
fate last night; but ithe .most d. '-ct
evidence of a genuine -mad dog is re
ported from the home of -Mr. E. Sage,
m the western limits ot the citVi His
old family dog has for several days ex-.
hibited strange srmptoms, and acted in
a queer manner; snapping around and
trying to bite'., some of ; them. Mr.
Sasre's suspicions were "aroused -that
sometbiug was wrong: with the dog and
he locked it in the barn over night ; in
the morning the dog was rabid and
was promptly shot. 4 Today a number
of citizens arc chaining up their dogs
for if six or eight or more dogs have
been bitten, it is safe to- presume 1 hat
more trouble fronv this source may be
anticipated;
John Nelson, of Savannah, Missouri,
has a mad stone which is often used, as
the followin g' clipping states:
Patients for Uncle John Nelson's mad
stone are becoming quite numerous,
and in every . instance the stone per
forms its-duty, allowing ail who apply
to go away happy... The latest to app y
to try the never failing virtues of this
stone is Gorge Coziah of Glen wood,
Iowa, who was badly bitten by a mad
dog recently. He came here last Mon
day, had the stone applied ana wm re
