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, Xlow picturcyjuis t- li town looked. 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 6tick I told you 'bout, awaitin' for his dad and the missus, which they didn't cum home 'til this mornin', cause the mine they wurked in caved in on em, and they couldn't git out to onct," He paused to take breath,, " What then?" J asked.' "Wall, iest ' nuthin. ftnlv whn then did cum, all safe an' sound, but a Utile 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."

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.

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. lite women are few wlio would make good their declaration of surrender- ?1 " . . 1 I . 1 . ing society u uieir nusuanus snouiu 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.
