    THE LITTLE SCHOOL.
HE school house
over which Miss
Mattie Smith had
reigned for quite a
number of years
was situated on a
hill Just beyond the
diminutive village
of Wales. It was
upon the outskirts
of a wood and said
(o hA In ft flnnkv
, place. Miss Mattie, however, had nev
er seen any snakes and didn’t believe
there were any. She had no objections
whatever to the situation, but the bouse
itself was old. Whenever Miss Mattie
met a school trustee she was bound to
tell him right decidedly that she must
have a new school house, one with a
cellar for the coal and room for her
desk away from the draught
But In the spring time the draught
from the door was very welcome, and
Miss Mattie was grateful for all the
air she could get as she sat at her desk,
hearing the spelling lesson.
“Hero, hero,” drawled Miss Mattie’s
..^■pet, Nan Foster. Then Nan came to a
' pause and fiddled nervously with the
pockets of her apron.
. “Well,” queried the teacher.
’ "I know what It means,” declared the
little girl; “I know so well that I didn’t
; have to look In the dictionary, but I
can’t say It to save my life.”
_• "It means a boy,” volunteered a very
■ Small girl, alanclna dreamily out of the
•chool room window.
; “Oh, yei, of course, I know tt means
a boy,” said Nan, hastily, “a boy who—
■jt oh, dear, I can’t say It"
; Miss Hattie put a sudden end to the
,T dlfflculty by furnishing the dictionary
meaning, whereupon the pupil at the
foot of the class murmured grumbllng
:■ ly that that was just what he would
have said If he had been given his turn.
;, After the spelling class had retired
th* arithmetic class came and estab
lished Itself In a very long row before
; Hiss Hattie. Down at the end of tho
l, arithmetic class was a little Dutch boy
with blue eyes and flaxen hair. He was
v * wy new scholar, and he didn’t look
> _as if he would remain foot all the time.
The blue eyes were fastened earnest
ly upon Hiss Hattie’s face as she put
the question: "If an apple Is divided
y into two parts, what are the parts

: ® "Halves,” answered the little Dutch

"If the halves are divided into two

"Quarters,” answered the little Dotoh

"And if the quarters are divided Into
- two parte what are the parts called r
y Inquired Hiss Hattie, determined to
discover what prodigious amount of ar
ithmetic this small boy knew.
"Salts,” answered the little Dutch
' hoy without a moment’s hesitation.
Alt morning the school children had
' been calling Johnny Smeltser “Tow
Head," but when, the next recess ar
rived he was christened “Units.”

"Salts must be terrible poor," whl*>
P«red Jessie Brown, "to have pants

“He 1th pore,” returned Ben Windsor,
f "htth moths 1th our wathwoman.”
It was upon the following day at

"What is ltr’ asked Hiss Mattie,

Yea, he minded very, very much, wear

“I know one thing,” remarked the
teacher's pet, throwing her proud little
head in the air, "If I was Snits 1
wouldn’t come to school if I had to
wear people’s old pants. His mother
ought to go to the store and buy him
a pair with her wash money.”
' "I won’t play with him while he
wears Ben Windsor’s pants,” said Char
ley Stills, virtuously.
"Neither will I,” cried George Watts.
“Neither will I,” echoed Sammy Lin
ger.
The appearance of Ben Windsor’s lit
tle sister, hand in hand with a smiling
nurse maid, put an end to th< unchari
table conversation. Fanny Windsor
had cried to come up to toe school
house, and as she hadn’t b<«n very
well lately, she was not allowed to cry
in vain. Ben was ordered to take good
eare of his little sister, and the nurse
departed, leaving her charge in the
midst of an admiring group. Fanny
Windsor was fat and dimpled, and did
not show any signs of her recent illness
except in a certain Imperiousness of
manner that was extremely am using.
All the early part of that afternoon in
the school room the visitor behaved
perfectly. She was only three years old,
but she repeated her letters with her
eyes off the primer, and she counted up
to twenty with creditable rapidity. It
was during the fifteen minutes’ recess
that she grew determined and venture
some. She insisted upon seesawing
with one of the large boys, she slapped
three of the girls, and in the end was
Been marching off alone, crying vene
mently that she dared anybody to come
with her. When the hell rang Fanny
Windsor had disappeared.
If there had been a cellar to the little
old school house there would have been
a probability, at least, that the trus
tee’s small daughter had wandered into
it, or fallen Into It, for very likely the
cellar would have had no steps.
Miss Mattie and all the pupils, even
the three girls who had been slapped,
were In a great flutter looking for the
missing child. Ben said that she
couldn’t have gone home, because she
was afraid to cross the stream.
It was a faint, far away sounding cry
that told them, cellar or no cellar, Fan
ny Windsor was under the school house.
She had crept through a small opening,
which, by all means, should have led
Into the cellar. It was such a very
small opening that only a very small
boy, who no longer lived In the village,
had ever Investigated the region front
which sounded the forlorn cry. The
small bey had seen wonderful things
under the school house, lighted very
well, he declared, by sunshine shooting
through the chinks. He had seen four
snakes and a nest of spiders as big as
butterflies, and a whole lot of bats. Ben
Windsor’s little sister must have been
seeing the wonders, too, for she began
to scream loudly.
“Can’t anybody get her out?” cried
Miss Mattie, wringing her hands.
Ben put his scared face to the opening
and called, “Fanny, Fanny 1”
“We'll have to tear up the school
house floor to get her,” exclaimed Willie
Day, excitedly.
“She’ll be smothered by that time,”
said Sammy Linger.
"Fanny, come along this way,” plead
ed Ben. “Here'th brotha.”
“I reckon she's caught,” said George
Watts.
“Mebbe a snake’s got her,” suggested
a little girl.
Then Ben screamed, “I thee a wat!”
Many and many a time the school chil
dren had laughed at Ben for calling a
rat a “wat,” but none of them laughed
now.
In all that anxious crqwd only one
mortal realised that something must
be done. The little Dutch boy picked
up a stick and the next Instant Ben
Windsor's trousers went wriggling
through the opening.
“(Mi, dear,” cried Miss Mattie, wring
ing her hands harder than ever, and
Miss Mattie’s pet hid her face and wept
aloud. There was a terrible scuffle
under the old school house. It seemed
to last a long time; then there was a
strange quiet Ben Windsor, pale and
trembling, had drawn back from the
“Mebbe they’* both dead,” aald Sam
my Linger, huskily.
At a aate distance from the opening a
boy was stooping, with his hands upon
his knees. “Some’n’s a-comlng,” he an
nounced in a tearful whisper. '
The something that first showed up.
at the opening was a round, dimpled
tear-stained face, and Ben 'Windsor
caught his little sister in his arms and
kissed her wildly. Following after
Fanny came Suits. Watching Snlts
drawing himself through the hole, one
understood how very small the hole
was. The little Dutch boy’s fair face
was whiter than usual, almost as white
as his hair, and his blue eyes looked
quite dark as he got upon his feet and
stood bashfully, whirling by .the tail
that third something, which, had it ap
peared first, would have caused a scat
teratlon in the crowd. “It Sheered her,
but it hadn’t hurt her yet,” he an
nounced, soberly. The third some
thing was a dead rat Then Miss Mat
tie's pet, who had unveiled her eyes,
cast an eloquent glance into the teach
er’s face. “Snita is a hero, ain’t he.
Miss Mattie,” she asked?
Miss fiattle nodded her head.
“And I reckon he's paid for them
pans* a hundred times over!” cried
Willie Day, enthusiastically, and again
Miss Msttle nodded her head.
Later on it was declared that Snitr
built the new school house, for if Ben
Windsor’s father hadn’t seen the dead
rat with his own eyes, he might nevei
have roared-out threateningly: “The
old rat hole shan’t stand another sum
mer; we’ll get a new school house, or
we'll have none!”—Louise R. Baker, in
the New York Observer.'

f SAVED BV A LARIAT.
Qaalltlei of the buw m s Ufa Pre
server. *
The writer had corralled a western
man in a hotel lobby and was holding
him up for all there waa in it. which
was a good deal, considering that the
man hadn’t been east for ten years or
more, and had never fallen into the
clutches of the journalist in quest of
an item of interest.
"You were asking meawhile ago about
the lariat and its uses,” he said, "and
it reminds me of a time on one occa
sion when it served an excellent pur
pose as a life preserver."
“It isn’t always used for that, is it?"
queried the writer.
« no’” lau8hed the westerner,
“I've seen it do prompt service when
there was no other rope handy and the
hoss thief was. But this time was dif
ferent,” he went on. "I know because
I was the one preserved. We were up
in the canyon country looking for some
cattle, and one of the boys and I had
gone oB the trial to a stream to, take
a bath, as you might call it In the east,
for it was hotter than blazes and shade
was not plentiful. We went into the
water some distance above a turbulent
rapid and a waterfall of twenty-five or
thirty feet, and as we didn’t, go to
swim so much as to get cool, all we
needed was enough water to cover us,
and that’s all my companion took.
“I was, however, more ambitious, and
having been a fine swimmer when I
was in the east, I thought I would
branch out a bit. I was soon branching
out extensively, and the first thing I
knew the swift water caught me and
down I went to the fall. I tried to
pull for the shore, but it was no good,
and then I set up a yell that made
the canyon echo, and my partner came
after me along the shore. I was fifty
feet out in the stream, struggling, and
there wasn’t any more sign of salva
tion tor me than if I had been in mid
ocean.
“Down I kept going, whirled and
turned upside down and fired around
promiscuously, until, about a hundred
yards above the final fall, I caught on
a rock. It was Just high enough to
keep my head out of water, and I hung
to it till my finger nails seemed to be
Imbedded in it. My partner at this
Juncture showed what kind of a fellow
he was In an emergency, for he ap
peared on shore with our two lariats
tied together, and Just as I was about
to'let go and be smashed on the rocks
below, he swung that lariat as cool
as he ever did from the back of his
mustang and It dropped square over
my bead. The rest of it I am not very
eoBsctous of, because by the time he
had pulled me ashore by the neck I
was about as near hung as I ever want
to bp, but he brought me around all
right in the course of half an hour or
so, and I was quite as good as new
again.”
“That was a narrow escape,” re
marked the writer. i - '
"And that was an odd fellow who
saved me,” added the westerner, “for
he was so mad about the scare I had
given him that I’ll be blamed if he
didn’t turn to before the day was over
and give me the worst licking I ever
got in my life for scaring him so.”

Had One Million Dollars for the Mayor.
Mayor Strong had an odd visitor the
other day, who wanted to present him
with one million dollars and impart
the information that the queen had
made him a duke. For the bearer of
such important Intelligence he was not
treated with the consideration he had
anticipated, and he left the city hall
in high dudgeon. He gave his name as
George W. Wilson. He said that he
was well known at the bar. He wears
his hair long, his face smooth shaven,
and a kindly light beamed in his eyes
as he tapped Secretary Hedges on the
shoulder familiarly. ' - '
“I’ve brought that one million dol
lars,” said the man, as he fumbled in
his pockets.
Before Secretary Hedges could make
any Inquiry, the visitor patted him
again playfully, and whispered in his
ear:
“I’ve had the mayor made a dyke.”
“A what?” ashed the secretary.
"Shall I tell him myself? Better
break the news gently. Tell him that
the million will help him keep up ap
pearances,” said the man.
He wrote the following:
“My Dear Mr. Mayor:' I have suc
ceeded in having the queen appoint you
a duke.”
The mayor failing to rush out and
embrace him, he sent the following
note:
"If I am not seen, I will withdraw

“VHCLB TO*” AT THE 0BAHS.
This famous play, which dates back so
far that some people have a vague idea
that it caused the war of the rebellious
has been presented with religious regu
larity each dramatic season, sometimes
with double little Evas and double Un
cle Toms even, but never has it been
given with such an elaborate stage
dressing and realistic effects as this. In
fact several of the features are in them
selves sufficiently novel to make it worth
while going to see “Uncle Tom's Cabin”
for the forty-seyentb time. The com
pany is strong. Hiss Cook’s Topay is a
tine piece of character and dialect act
ing with the additional virtue that is
really funny. It is doubtful if the part
was evei given better or even as well
played by anyone else. Herbert Cook
assumes the roll of Uncle Tom very ac
ceptably, even if it isn’t Shakesperean.
But the leading feature of the produc
tion is the - gorgeous transformation
scence painted by Sosman & Landis,
which represents “little Eva in the Gol
den realms.” The tableau is a beautiful
and striking one, representing the
flight of the angel of death and the
opening of the golden gates. There are
also several other noteworthy stage set
tings, representing a cotton picking
scence, Eliza crossing the ice, etc.
Some very pleasing singing of planta
tion melodies is given by a colored quar
tette, and there is some wing dancing
that is a great novelty. The audience
last night was a large one.—The Times,
