Salvation Boldlcrn mid tlio Cowlioy.
Chicago Herald : "Yos , wo have ti few
squads of the Salvation tinny out our

"I live in Chuyennu , tind a few months
ago the Salvationists swooped down on

mances , JJut they liad a tough time of
it with the miners and cowboys , particu
larly the cowb'oyfii 1 attended ono of
their meetings , tit which the soldiers pot
very much warmed up. At the climax of
tlio exciting songs and shouts their leader
cried out :
" 'Who's afraid of the devil ? ] ain't. '
"Tho rest of the gang took up the re
frain.
" 'Who's afraid of the devil1''they all
shouted at the top of their lungs. And
then they all bellowed forth the reply :
' "Wo'ain't ; wo ain't afraid. Who's
afraid of the devil the devil who's
afraid of the devil ? '
" 'vVo ain't wo ain't afraid wo ain't '
. afraid of the devil. '
"At this juncture a tall cowboy wearing
n sombrero and a belt jumped up. In
each ot his hands was a big revolver , and
ho discharged both of them again and
again at the ceiling. IJctwecn ( shots he
cried out :
"Look out for mo , now I I'm the devil !
I'm the devil , and I'liiafteryoul'
"In two minutes there wasn't a Salva
tionist in the hall. They had literally
fallen over each other in their haste to get
not the doors and windows , and it was
qulto evident that ho was not the kind of
a devil they had boon talking about. "

Funerals in Tlio AVcst.
Detroit 1-reo 1'ress : It was out west
that a countiy minister , olliciating at u
funeral , said at the eloso of his discourse :
"The friends may now come forward
and avail thonibolves of the deceased
corpse. "
And a solcmn-visagcd procession filed
drearily by the collm , "availing" them
selves of the "deceased corpse. '
The same preacher said at the funeral
of an aged man :
"Our dear deceased brother is dead.
Ho has expired. After eighty-nine vcars
life is extinct , lie breathes not , s > ecs not ,
hears not , feels not , smells not. Ilo lu.s
passed away. His clay tenement remains ,
but it is empty. The former occupant
has moved , as one might say. Ilo needs
not now his earthly abode. Ho is dead
to this vain earth ; yes , ho is dead. "
Having convinced his audience that
the corpse was really dead Hie preacher
goes on to say :
"Tho colHu will now bo opened that
those who loved luni hero may nave the
pleasure of gazing on'luin for the last
time. "
A Wnrnlnjr to Smokers.
Texas Sittings : A member of the Texas

"Kurnol , yor reckorlccls dat 1 tolo yor

Tlio FrfcnilH of the Kilftor.
Texas Siftings : Some supposed friends
of a newspaper have peculiar ideas as to
what kind of items a paper requires.
Not long sinro a gentleman raino into
the sanctum of u Texas paper and said to
the eililor :
"Look hero , you miss a heap of live
items I'm on tiio street all day. I'l
coino up evoiy once in a while and post
you. "
"All right , fetch on your items , but re
member we want news. "
No.\t day ho comes up , beaming all
over. "I've got a live item for you. YU '
know that infernal , bow-legged gorijin
of a brother-in-law of mine , who was in
business hero with me ? "
"I believe I remember such a person , "
said the editor wearily.
"Well , 1 have just got ne.ws from Ne
braska , whore lie is living , that ho is
going to run for the legislature. Now ,
iusl give him a blast. Lift him out of his
boots. Don't spare him on myaccount. "
The editor shook his head and the
news-gatherer letired.
No\t day ho came up again. "Jly little
item was crowded out. At least I 'didn't
SPO it in the paper. 1 brought yon some
more news , " and ho handed in an item
about a cat as follows :
"A remarkable animal The family
cat of our worthy and distinguished lei-
low towsmau , Smith , who keeps the boss
grocery store of Wanl No. 1J ! ( beer al
ways on tap ) , yesterday became the
mother of live singularly marked kittens.
This is not the lir.it time this unheard-of
event has taken place. Wo understand
Mr. Smith is being favorably spoken of
as a candidate for alderman. "
The editor groans in his spirit as ho
lights a cigar with the ellbrt. It is not
lonir before ho hears that Smith is going
around saying that ho has made tlio
paper what it 13 , but it is not independ
ent enough to suit the nnblie.
Many readcis will say that this .sketch
is overdrawn , but thousands of editors
all over the country will lift up their
right hands to testily that they are per
sonally acquainted with the guilty party.
Not n Speculator.
Chicago Rambler : 'Ta , " said the spec
ulator's son , " 1 want oomo money for a
little speculation. "
" 1 am pleased , my boy , " returned the
lather , as he lislied a $3 bill Irom his
pocket , "to sec that you are taking an in
terest in the business affairs of lite. Now ,
1 won't ask yon what this speculation is ,
but 1 will go halves with you on the
prolits. Of course , it there are none , I
Jo o my money and you your time. "
"All right , Pa. I'll make the invest
ment to-day and report progress to-mor
row. "
The next evening when the father re
turned homo ho inquired aboutthe "deal. "
"Swauipedl" was the sententious re
mark of tlio youth.
"Swamped ! " ' exclaimed the old gentle
man in surprise.
"li-s , swamped , " replied the boy.
"Never saw such a decline in stock * in my
lite. Shrunk clear out ot sight. It was a
good investment yesterday goods worth
their lace value then ; but to-day you
couldn't give them away. "
"But for Heaven1 ! ) sake , Ueorgc , what
did yon invest in ? "
"Theatre tickets for last night's per
formance. "
The old man thought very hard for a
time , and then expressed , himself to the
ell'ect that the boy was lilted for a conli-
deuce operator rather than a speculator.

Ilaryot Holt in Chicago Herald : Some
of the noblest sentiments lof tlio human
heart center about the/ word "homo. "
The lines of John Howard Payne have
pome to be looked upon as an inspira
tion , and practical America rarely in
dulges in an act so sentimental as that of
transplanting bones to an honored rest
ing place , as she did in.i his caso. Homo
is one 01 the blessings that wo regard as
ours by a divine right ; it is a necessity
and human nature rarely worss itself up
into a , feverish state of thankfulness be-
causi } of it. lu short , it belongs to that
clas > of blessings thatrbrighteu as they
take'their liight. In retrospection home
is mueli the same to all mankind , and we
arc prone to look buckj upon it with un
told iongiii2. Even Oliver Twist saw the
time when the poor house looked special
ly bright as it loomed tip in His memory.
Hut , home , as we view it in the present ,
governed as wo are by circumstances ,
presents many dill'erent characteristics.
To the man ot business , the rather rapid ,
married man , "homo" is a delightful ro-
trcat in tlio suburbs ; it is a place whore
tiie folks are always glad to see him ;
above all. it's a good place to go when
all the other places are shut up ; " it's the
place where ho frequently dines and
usually " breakfasts , always in haste , for
trains" like time and tide , wait for no
man. To his wife homo is a bower 01
beauty , a haven of rest , wiicro she can
reflect and wait interminably in peace.
She waits for the b.iby to get through
teething ; waits for summer time , waits
for the children to grow up , waits for her
licgo lord to como to dinner a life Spout
in exhilaration and waiting. To the im
pecunious man of family home is a sort
of bottomless pit where ho sinks his sal
ary befoiu ho earns it. it is a place
whore bills and babies conic , uninvited ;
where the water pipes burst ; whore the
hard coal lire goes 011 on cold nights ,
and whore ha grows gray and cultivates
gratitude for daily bread. To the wife
homo contains besides her loving heart ,
that comforts and sustains the mending
basket , tin patched gowns and unsowcd
buttons ; a willing hand in the morning ,
a weary head at night , a prayer for
patience and things lelt undone , To the
boy homo is nn essential possession ; it is
a plaeo whom bruises and wounds are
bound up and healed with rags and kisses
and love. It is a place whore marbles ,
string , kite-tail and other true toys aie to
lie found ; a place were stray pieces of pie
linger very briefly ; where cake never
gets dry , and dainties never spoil.
.Mother is a convenient household attach-
inent for making pants and cookies , a
y.Miipatlietic auditor ; a truly kindled
spirit , lu all life there is no one like a
hoy's mother. To I lie young woman
home is an abiding plaeo during a tem
porary session just previous to the in
evitable marriage ceremony , after which
she can do as she pleases , and not have
to mind her mother. To the base ball
enthusiast home is well , homo com
prises his postolllcc address for sporting
organs upon base ball ; it is a retreat
where he can recuperate between games
and directors' meeting. People who
board find homo to bo a sort of hole in
the wall a kennel to crawl into where
they become a convenience to the coffers
of tlio landlady. The e have no home-
save the one in heaven to which they
soon learn to look forward. To the fashionable
"home" house
ionable woman means a
better than the one no\t door , or the best
one in tlio block. It means a collection
of recent innovations in bric-a-bric and
art furniture , gilt easels , silk scarfs and
plaequcs ; a prayer rug , a spinning wheel
and bewildering window draperies.
With these breeders of dissension and
divorce she plays at what Kuskin calls
"precedence with her neighbor. " Surely
this is another place in which the word
"homo" is misapplied. Uric a-brao and
its daily rearr.inyement by the profe -
sional duster c.-'imoi ' produces it ,
and if the shade of the thrifty
rcat-cramlmollicr could stop into
Bio bay win low whore roits the
old spiniiiiiii wheel draped in a red rasp
berry tinted scarf she would be apt to
hcsiuto ore she pronounced it more con
ducive to happinosi than in the days
when it was a household necessity.
Oh , temporal Oh , mores ! How great
is the chanirc.
Cane baskets , and wire paper-holders ,
clove apples , and "Cod Hless Our
Homes , " in worsted and cardboard , arc
things of the pust. Hut some homes there
arc Unit arc not more effects hi furniture
art art furniture on monthly payments.
A place it is that isi refuge from care
a sanctum of sanctums where the light
of a kitchen fire lends a trlow that no
varnished register , no gilded hoatercaii
infuse ; where the cheery song of a tea
kettle isends a thrill ot comfort that no
music box eaii inspire. A homo with
loving hearts , a hearthstone , and an at-
mo phero of contentment.
Even in this advanced ago , when
everything has been revised , irom the
Hiblo down to cuckoo clocks ; oven though
the peifection of the prayer book seems
to have passed under a cloud , there has
yet been no improvement suggested in
the atmosphere of a genuine homo. Lov
ing hearts that depend on the loving , and
not on the love , alone can make it. Har
riet Martincaii thus elogi/.es the ideal
homo : "Where this llamo , the glow of
human love , is burning , there is a temple
of worship , be it only beside the humblest
village hearth : where it has not been
kindled there is no .sauctury ; and the
loftiest amphitheatre ot mountains
lighted up by the over burning stars is
no more the dwelling place of .Jehovah
than the temple of Solomon beloro it was
filled with the glory of his divine pres
ence.11
The Uiiooctcil Visitor.
Harper's Ha/.aar : There are a few for
tunate housekeepers in the world who ,
knowing that it is the unexpected which
always happens , are invariably prepared
for the unexpected visitor. Their chil
dren nro always in pimlieo order , their
pantry overllowing with nectar and am
brosia , their .parlors thoroughly dusted ,
their spare room in readiness , wliilo
they themselves urn perpetually well
dressed and in a frame of mind to enter-
tn'n. ' Ono never catches them disordered
in manners and toilot. Hut theio nro
others , alas , who are always taken at a
disadvantage , who are nexernlilu from
some strange reluctance on the part of
fortune , to put their best foot forward ,
who were dressed in their prettiest. yes
terday , but thinking nobody would ar
rive to day , have donned their shabbiest ,
who are habitually down at the heel , so
to speak , with untidy rooms , whoso visit
ors arrive just as tlio last Christmas pie
is lo-it to sight , to memory dear ; just as
tint damson preserve' have fermented ,
just as the children have torn their froeks ,
spillcd.t ho ink or broken tliufragi ant keio-
sene lamp ; just as the head ot the hon o
has boongoing over the weekly bills and
talking of the poor-house , or just as ono
has a toothielie or an iiilhten/a , is medi
tating a visit one's self , or has the car
pets up and the dust up , too , or has be
gun a new novel , or has an appointment
with the dentist or photographer. 1'ow
people have enough self-control to feel
and look happy under these circum
stances , not to begin the fatal apology ;
but occasionally one discovers a woman
who is so adaptable that she can at once
seem to lorgot the disorder or awkward
ness of these things about her , and has
the happy knack of setting the visitor in
stantly at his ease , making the best of
everything and resolving chaos into a
pleasant harmony , ami appearing as if it
did not in the least signify that the ear-
pot was littered with scraps from the
so\viiii ! , that the baby was howling with
colic , that tUo lire was smoking , that the
sotiphad"cau < iht"orthe milk "turned , "
or the cook given warning , or that the
hostess was out at elbows. Most of us. at
such times , appear so embarrassed that
the unexpected visitor wishes with all his
heart ho had given waining ot his approach
preach , or had never thought of coming
at all , views hjmsoll , and is regarded as
nothing less than a ealamitv , wonders
that wo have no better manners than to
lot him sco how inopportune his visit is ,
and calculates the eailie t moment in
which ho may may make his escape with
out slrnvtiig that he Knows ho is not
( [ iiito welcome. Sometime" , however , it
is the visitor who has the teadi tact to
make everybody contented with himself
and lorget that anything is out of plumb.
The Habj'H Ilniilc Account.
From Babyhood : It is not to a baby
millionaire i \ vih to call yollr attention ,
nor to even any baby , but to the linanccs
ot your baby.
You , of course , know all about what
the little fellow has cost , and know what
he is likely to cost , not only in dollars
and cents , but in wnkofuj , watchful ,
hours and anxieties innumerable.
But , alter awhile , the now costly baby
will icqnire not only the schooling but
business education , and a foundation
upon which to stand in the gieat money-
getting world.
Theio are so many ups and downs with
prosperous people that thochildof wealth
to-day may twenty years hence bo eking
out a scanty living as clerk , and , on the
other hand , the little fellow whoso baby-
wardrobe is plain and limited , by tlio
same time may be on the broad road to
fortune.
While you sit by the darling's cradle is
tha time to thoughtfully mature your
plans for the future. There are to many
little trifles bought for baby that might ho
dispensed with and the money allowed to
accumulate tor future use. His wonder
ful how' nice a sum ma.y repose in one of
the many savings-fund institutions bv
just a little forethought and economy. A
mayor in a .southern city gave on Satur
day evenings to his four little ihuighlcis
all the dimes he happened to havu in his
pocket. A lady of my acquaintance saved
all her gold pieecs for her son , depositing
them iii bank to his credit , she acting as
trustee. Another lady , having a small
house renting for $8 a month , put the sum
toher childien's account in the savings
fund , and carefully retrained from using
any of it.
I know of many instances of well-to-do
parents who are laying up lor their chil
dren , and that in : i small , matter-of-fact
way , which would astonish many with
whom they mingle in i-ociety. A puncil
and paper and a half hour or le-s .spent
in ealeiilating the possible accumulation
of $ , ' 0 a year for twenty years will show
what can bo done.
l had this winter in my employ as
nurse a widow with a little girl. Sim
came in great distress of mind to mo ono
day in reference to her money matters ,
Her husband , a eoachman , had had from
his lumploycr each joar a gift of' ' ? , " ) ( > ;
Which , witli other earning * , had been de
posited in bank to the credit of the child.
1'ho father and trustee ! died , and the wo
man , in ignorance of how to proceed ,
had.beeit for three years unable to usu
any of the intercH for the child. The
sum had accumulated until the intoiy.st
would clothe tin-littlo girl I had ( ho
pleasure of securing a faithful gu-udian
for tlio child and relieving the poor < \ro-
inaii'snnml of mueli anxiety , she luiviug
supposed the Mini could not lie touched
until the little girl was of age. This
woman carries a Miinll insurance for the
child , so in case of the mother's death the
child could be comfortably cared for
without the extreme poverty which she
would have save for the savings of a few
years on the pint ot her father.
It is a wise course for u woman to ac
quaint hersolt with the process ol the law
in icgard to the money belonging to the
children , also to know the rites of inter
est and \alues of properly. While the
money in bmk : sometimes accumulates
as fast : is that invested , and can be se
cured and used in emergencies in less
time than by any other forms of invest
ment , there are many other wnvs of
using the money saved a piece of land
can bo bought and put in baby's name , or
sold again ami the money turned over
and over.
