BEEKDN BOB.
Ho waa picking up coal near the M.,
II. aud O. (Marquette, Houghton and On
tonagon) railway when I first eaw him a
nior. forlorn little follow, with "butter
milk eyes," a yellow Ekin and hair of a
faded drab color.
1 have only to look down on the carpet
near my feet at a little pile of iron ore,
sjieciniens collected wlulo sojourning at
Ibhpeniing. Mich., at that time, to vividly
recall the little hero (for such he waa) to
my imagination, although no thought
like this 1 am cure ever occurred to his
untrained mind, and I doubt IT he would
have known the meaning of the word,
and even his parents, 6 toll d Swedes, for
which that section of the mining country
in noted, never dreamed of thinking him
one, even when the end came.
I do not remember to have heard the
ago of this weazened faced boy, but in
height and size he appeared about 10
years old. Ills face had a worn, wasted,
old look, and 14s email claw like hands
shriveled as though with age. He seemed
less than ordinary in intelligence and
spoke only in monosyllables, and so fre-
auenlly to himself that my attention was
rawn to him.
Itainbling through the mining country
in search of specimens, though in mid
winter, it was tnus I came across him.
There was something peculiar about
him; he did not seem quite right in the
"upper 6tory,M and I fell to watching
him, with a strange interest, as he picked
up, one by one, so carefully each piece
or coal that liad fallen from the coal
cars and which the railroad authorities
allowed the poor to gather, and placed
every piece with a certain mathematical
precision in his old, battered coal bucket.
"Who is that boy?" I asked of a tall,
well grown lad standing near me, ey
l?nily an employe about the yards.
"That? rather contemptuously point
ing a grimy forefinger in the direction of
the little coal gatherer:
Vc-5."
Oh, that's 'Beekun Bob, and he
laughed heartily.
"lieacon Bob'f" I repeated. ""Why do
you call him that? Spell his name,
please."
"B-e-e-k-u-n B-o-eb,' he rapidly
spelied out,
"We uns calls him that 'cause he allers
stands at the old mine shaft with a lighted
stick every night, a waitin fer his dad
and the missus."
"The missus?" I echoed.
"Yas, that's his marm; she wurka in
the mine, long 6de of his da4,"
"A woman work in the mine?" I asked,
incredulously.
"Oh, yas, lots of 'em do. That's
nut bin."
1 sisrhed.
"Why does he hold a light?"
""Cause you see as how thevole mine's
"bai.duncd, 'taint safe, and the big hole
Is right near their house; he's feer'd
they'll fall in some night com in' home."
"Lookee, you kin see it from here."
Ho pointed off towards the direction of
LaLe Angeline, where a dark spot in the
red earth was plainly visible, with bits
of boards and planks sticking right and
left around it, and near it a small,
weather beaten frame house.
So he lives there?"
Yas."
" Do this parents compel him to hold
the lighted torch, or stick, everr night?"
Xaw, he jest tuk it onto biseeif. They
den't keer one way er tother."
"Has he brothers or sisters?"
"Nary one."
JSome one called the stalwart, well
meaning lad, and thanking him for his
information as he hastened away, I ap
proached "Beekun Bob."
He did not see me, nor appear to hear
my footsteps. I came close to him and
touched him gently on the shoulder.
Bob?"
IIo looked up at me in a dazed 6ort of
way, his small features, or the expression
of them, rather, nearly obscured by the
p:c fusion of hematite dust spread on
thcui. His hands and clothing, as well
aj my own, were smirched with Jt.
I lo took a long, deep breath and in?
voluntarily placed one hand to his side,
hi forehead contracting as though in
pain.
I saw at once that the boy was ill or
overworked, and the patient way tha
he t iled touched me.
The day was a very cold one, and the
rhi' J's hands were cramped and blue,
Iiis toes protruded through his Ger
man socks and rubbers.
"Haven't you all you can carry?" I
asked, looking towards the heaped
bu.et.
lie nodded In the affirmative, but still
cc.-.tinued to add more.
"Come, let me help you up the hill."
1 I placed my hand upon the handle
of i ho bucket.
17 mm, umm;" he grasped the handle,
scl such a look of doubt and indigna
tion I never want to see on a child's face
;-.c;an. lifting the bucket, and with
circuity he placed it resolutely behind
hi: a and stood before it grim and stem
and half defying. I smiled in spite of
myself. Ho evidently thought I wanted
tlu coal, and had learned his lesson from
being wronged in this way before. Not
iuii'ther word could I get out of him, and.
so a little saddened I moved away, throw
ing hira a coin as I went, trusting he
would hereafter have more faith in his
fellow beings.
That night was a bitterly cold one, but
wearied with the day's tramp, I slept
soundly and comfortably in my warm
bed.
The sun waa shining brightly when I
awoke, and from my window at the'Nel
aon house, I watched the busy mining
population thronging to their daily toil,

with its hematite dust painting every
thiuj red. And where water had been
recently thrown near the roadside amid
the iron, there seemed to be pools of
blood.
Here and there the sparkle of the Iron
ore would gleam forth, glinting like dia
monds in the sun, and vying in urn
liancv with the pearls in the snow,
A way off yonder over the white hills
so rugged and grand, a number of wood
choPDcrs. croinsr in diuerent directions,
were seen, gayly attired in their red
flannel shirts, blue woolen caps, buck
skin breeches and irray German socks
and rubbers, with the bright ax over
each 6houIder and the invariable black:
pipo in each mouth, and near them the
sledges, to which one or more dogs were
hitched, to draw the fruits of their
laliors home at eventide.
Before them in the distance loomed
the tall dark nines, like trrim sentinels.
adding to the rare picturesqueness of the
scene.
The air was so cold and clear and
bricht. vou could cut it with a knife,
This was the last day of the old year.
I knew that to-morrow would usher in
the day of the season for Iuhpcming, its
unique and wonderful dog races, which
created nearly as much stir as the
"Derby" or "Latonia" In greater cities,
and. much as I desired to see this north
ern custom, I hoped the new year would
find me "at home" in Chicago.
Breakfast over I hastily prepared to
"go bolow" or "down the road, as ex
Dressed in that upper country.
My foot was on the first step of the
omnibus to take me to the train, wnen,
chancing to look up, I saw the tall, well
trrown lad of the Marquette, Houghton
and Ontonagon yards, standing near and
recraruinar me questlonlnglyt
1 paused and nodded. He came up to
me at once.
"Say, missus," squirting the tobacco
juice irom ma uiuuiu.
"Well?"
"You know Beekun Bob?"
"Yes; what of him?"
"Wall, he's dead."
"Dead!"
What was he to me that I should erow
ill and faint? The omnibus driver be
came imnatient.
"You'll have to hurry up there pr we
won t catch the tram," Jae said.
I stepped into the 'bus.
"Oet in," I said to the boy; "I will
make it all right with the driver.
He clambered up and took a seat by
my side.
"Now tell me all about it," I saldj
"How aid ne ale ana wnenr
"You see, be wuz a-boldln of thai; ar

and they couldn't git out to onct,"
He paused to take breath,,
" What then?" J asked.'
"Wall, iest ' nuthin. ftnlv whn then

Binot nerea like, they found that ar chap,
Beekun Bob,' standin' stark an' stiff,
frozen, you know, with hia eyes wide
open, the stick burned down into his
hands, and he dead as a door nail."
I grew faint and dizzy again.
"Poor little Bob, what a hero! I will
go and see his parents," I said.
I thought how terribly stricken and
heart broken they must feel.
"Please pull the check string, we will
get out here."
The young fellow did as I requested,
"'Taint no use. He ain't thar," he
said,
"Where Is he?"
"Over to the hospital."
I paid the driver and told him to call
for me again at the hotel to take the
next train.
He looked at me wonderingly and
drove on. We went to the hospital.
Yes, there he lav, dressed for the
grave. The little pinched face bore the
impress of the agony worn Into it by the
hours of suffering and patient waiting.
The Bhriveled hands, so burned and
scarred, were swathed in bandages.
"His parents?" I asked.
"Oh,'rsaid the hospital M. D., "they
sent for us, and when they found out we
could not restore him to life, they told
us to 'take him away; dead boy no rood
to us' (a fact), and we bury him, and so
save them the trouble and expense."
Jleartless? Well no. I hardly think
so They were very poor, and very
practical, and it was "all the same" to

A Four Footed Thief,
On the Baldwin farm, about two miles
north of Fillmore, Mrs. Baldwin went
out to look after her poultry. On open
ing the chicken coop she was horrified
to find all of her fowls slaughtered and
an enormous wild cat occupying the
remises. Instead of fainting ana let
ing the intruder escape, she concluded
that he also might take a joke; where
upon 6he quickly closed the door and
called to her son's wife, who lived near
by. The latter came with her husband's
rule; then setting the door a little ajar
the two ladies in turn dispatched half a
dozen swift messengers In the direction
of hia catship, which was a final settle
ment of the whole affair. But Mrs.
Baldwin thinks that hia scalp and pelt
are rather meager compensation for Tier

SOCIAL CRUCIFIXION.
iTaumJ ul Wlio Go Into Society and Ase
Made Mlerable Thereby.
The subject of going into society to-v
gether is one of endless discussion be
tween men and their wives; these favor
ing, pressing, insisting on it; those op
tKising, ridiculing, protesting againBt it.
Women often carry their point by de
claring that if their husbands will not go
out they will not, either. A just or gen
erous man is averse to keeping his wife
nt home imply because he considers
social entertainments of any and every
kind stupid and disagreeable. He knows
that she delights in them, and that for
her to relinquish them is a positive sac
tifice. There is no more reason why 6he
should stay away than why ho should go;
and, therefore, he goes, but goes reluc
tantly, with ill will, and, as it were, by
compulsion.
It may seem singular that she should
fxrmit him to, knowing as she does how
hateful the thing is. It seems downright
selfirih in her and women are rarely
sellisli but she believes that she cannot
afford to release him; that her frequent
ing society without him is the beginning
of their separation, of their leading dis
tinct lives, of their 6teady divergence,
Her belief may not te correct, but it Is
sincere. Hence is she not warranted in
maintaining her position to the last?
At any rate, sho maintains it, though
not without great cost, greater often thau
she realizes. Her husband resects more
and mote his dragooning into society.
He never puts on his dress suit, or orders
the carriage for that purpose, without a
feeling of inward bitterness of lus wife's
exactingness, of hid pubmission to a
wrong; and the feeling Luaiiy produces
habitual dissatisfaction and C3rnicism.
His wife is unconsciously bringing about
what she is trying to avoid settled dis
content with her and the conjugal con
dition. It were better she 6hould let him
obey his propensity than thwart it thusj
for alienation would be Blower with free
dom than with festers.
What a deal of mischief is society, fri
volous, hollow, insignificant Bociety, cap
able of doing! The dragooned husband
feels that he is a social impostor; that he
abuses hospitality by partaking of it in
perverse spirit. He is in no mood to en
tertain or le entertained. He is bored to
death, and his countenance shows it. He
yawns lehind hand or handkerchief, and
for the moment fairly despises hfci vifm.
noticing across the room her animaieu
manner and obvious gratification, il1'
look and air and gait are funor-- ff
he were burying a friend e WOuld, he
fancies, fool ruor CJieerfuL Stealing
Into a cover ever anj anon, to glance
furtively at his watch, he flunks that it
must have stopped. Has there ever be
fore been sq long an evening? His wife
indicates that she is about to leave; but
he knows what that means, and resigns
himself to another leaden-footed hour.
Everything must have an end; finally
6ho departs, and his face for the mo
ment is llushcd with pleasure, imme
diately dispelled by the remembrance
that there ore to bo five evenings more
of similar boredom within the coming
week. Ho dreams of wliat he has under
gone and must undergo in the torture
chambers of society; lus sleep i3 broken
and feverish; he rises in the morning
despondent and irritable, liis wire may
dimly suspect the cause; but sho lacks
the intelligence, perhaps the magna
nimity, to relieve him of nis onerous obli
gation. In the end he will be very likely
to throw it off, and it will be accom
panied by no little of his old affection
and sympathy.

flatly refuse to escort them. They think
they would, and for a whilo they might
abstain; but the enticement is too great
to be long resisted, i irst, vhey will go
out alono occasionally; then frequently;
at last regularlv. Women who havo
dragooned their lieges for several seasons,
and then acquitted them, may run the
risk of losing the early place occupied in
their hearts (is not such loss mutual and
unavoidable, with most couples, in any
circumstances?); but they get on far more
comfortably.
Men love freedom above evcrthing;
and when they have it they are more
amiable and patient than when it is in
any way curtailed. Husbands who have
been exceedtncrly disagreeable at home,
so long as they have felt constrained to
discharge social duties in their own per
sons, have behaved quite decently after
turning over those duties entirely to their
partners. The average woman gets rid
of her romance and sentiment by five or
six vears of connubial experience (the
nrsi year win answer or me average
man), and prefers domestio peace and
toleration to the cherishment of the lof
tiest ideals. Junius Henri Browne in
