Is n good provider. JOHN U. HOWU. i. Once upon a time , twelve months ago , there wcro a lot of bos , black and whit ? , dirty and clean , nnd so forth All were little , and all were In the newspaper business , with bootblachlng on the side Wo have to do with only two or throe or four. There waa Sunshine , who was black so black as no fuller' earth could black him. Poets and darklei are born , not made. Suns'hlns was a big feller , and the principal features , those on which his future fame will rest , were hung on the ends of his arms. There was Jimmy , too. He was white and clean , A good mother washed his face and darned his clothes. A sweeter face was never washed. Jesus at his nge was not a bit better looking. He was not so big as Sunshine , but ho was n full pint. And now comes the hero of this sketch. His size was half pint. He was clean. He was not black or beautiful. IHit he had a smile ! It was a two-edged smile ; It smiled up and It smiled down , nnd this way and that way and straight ahead ; It was hung on n mouth that ftrstched across his face , nnd an old lint came down upon It from above , but could not extinguish It , nor dim Its glory. A smile Is always beau tiful. No matter who wears It , It U aurora borealls. sunrise on dew , an April shower on the first-born flower , trailing arbutus , frlnstance. This was L'ttle ' Billce. Ills ma had a mogglge ; to help lift the llttla end of It was Blllec's lofty hope. He came among these bojs , these n\vspaper mer chants , on ths day before Christmas with 10 cents worth of papjrs , to-wlt , five ; dur ing the day he gathered up as many more , wholes and parts , today's , jesterday's and forever's ; he had moie papers than sal's. He brought Ills smile with him ; likewise his mouth and the ends thereof from the east to the west unto- the going down of the- same ; and his eld hat on top of all. Xow , Eome of the boys were disposed to put a head on him to keep him from divid ing up the trade ; but that little smiling facs brought to his sld ; Sunshine and Jlm- mlf , and peacs prevailed within his borders and pennllessness within his pockets. Com rades ! Comrades ! They were podnsrs ! * * The sun had pot. Christmas eva was ar rived at the Paxton' hofl. Little Billce , busted and dlscourag'd. With his stock in tradeslept. . KIs slesp ivns sweet , as 'twcro on a feather beJ of ostrlcli down , as a mat ter of fact , his bed vV s the stone st'ps within the wall ? . And heio came the qeAil sports. As night wore on. they came mora and more , and fullr and fuller. And vrr one of them dead spcrts God bless the same ! woke Little Billee and bought all his papers , today's > es- Urdiy's ar.d forever's and gave them back to him ! After the lUfle- fraud had sold them six and seven times , total thirteen , and had the tin within , jou- really dcrt to have heard him snicker when n dead fport came along , fuller than any filler's earth could full him , and woke Ijlrn tup and proposed to buy a paper , as 'twas Christmas Kve then buying every one and gluing them all back to him ! The little fra-uJJ nThey , kept a-cpm- Ing , as well as a-golngi-und a-waklng of li'm up nnd a-bujlng of hhrf'Out , and a-stocklng of him up , till really ho , got no r st.

The nlgiit pass'd away. Little Blllco wok the woke of the Just , still on his downy couc- aforesaid. lie rose , and , as the sun sp-en its smile all over the. wcrld , he pulled hlj ind w nt cut upon the street and holl-red and hollered and hollered that hete was for sale the dally papers , earning under his arm those of yesterday and the day afora and never moic. A larg man comes down the street. Ho hal commenced life lending money nt G p = r cent a month , nnd is now vvoith twenty- three million dollars. He Is an honest monev man. He believes In a 200-cent dollar , and a 50-cent man or a 5 cent cne as still better. II ? had the day before - fore received a payment of J30.000. which ha thought ho vvoiiU fall to get by one-tenth of 1 per cent , with attorneys' fees , notarys' fo:3 , rattage , crlbbage and leakage , payable in gold at the pretent standard of weight and flnenss , and he told hla wife that morning to bring him two nickels with which to buy the morning papers. So he had 10 cents on this momentous occasion. One 5 cents had a .hole In It. Being a great financier , he thought It good business to get shut of that C cents with a hole In It at the earlUst op portunity. Mr. Boolong's grai-p on a nickel mid his gra p ot the national1 financial piob- lem were of the same size. He was as gay an eli duffer as e-ver shaved a note cr scut tled a t'hlp. Ho stops Llttla Bllleo and says : "Doy , how many for E centu ? " lilllee- , being anxious to trade , says : "Sir. two for C cents. " Says Mr , Boolong : "Thero'y a boy down hero who will sell me three for 5 cs-nta. " "So will I , " oiys Little Billce. with a smile that was worm iu cnts. . In gold , and ho held up his block , and Mr. Brolong took thrco and gave him a tlckel , and passed on with a smile that , If turned on goat's milk , would have converted t back Into hoopuklrts. The nickel had a lole In It. Dlllee went up the street , hollering and hollering , utterly unconscious of whether It was today , yesterday or smother day. Fact > , It was Christmas. Mr. Boolong went Into the Paxton and got ho best chair , In the coziest corner , rnd the > est light , and put ou his spectacles and commenced to examine Ills bargain , After a little the Turk awoke !

CHAI'Vcil HI. The tltlo of this chiptcr Is "Tho Mogglge , or The Klve C'tits with a Hole In It. " The morning following Christmas was all bustle In the household to which little Bllleo Barlow brlonged. Mrs. mrlow had put on her best dress , but she had no > bustle , ex cept the bustle above mentioned. This dress vvna nankeen , or bombazine , or benzine , or something of that sort , and had bcn her wedding gown two and forty jears before , moro or leiv. It had no mutton-leg sleeves. She had other uss for mutton legs ; neither was she deformed about the arms nnd shoul ders , though they we-e mighty heavy. Bllleei had counted his wad , and. It came lo $1 ST. "Bllleo , " says his ma , "the mogglgo ; wo will go nnd sec the kind gentleman who lent us $13 on our house and furniture and goats , Billy and other , which Is the staff of llfes. " Mrs. Barlow was a plotu woman. Now , Blllco had allowed that there was enough capacity to hln wad to warrant a iquaro meal for the kids , but liln ma said. " .Vo ; not till w * hav ? settled with the kind gentleman ; then we will buy some meal. " So they walk n long distance and get on nn clovntor In Boolong's building and go to the 'steenth story and fnter Mr. Bjolong's office. "Set down , " says Mr. Iloolong , "set down " Then Mr. Boolong gat ont of his vault three cord' of collateral and found the mogglge. It called for thirteen dollars In thirty days , payable In gold , present standard of weight and fliunes" , Interest pa } able In advance and uloo afterward , also semi-monthly and three times n week , with attorney fe ° s , notary fees , exchange , rattage , crlbbagp and leakage "Ore dollar and sKtythr'2cents , mom , Ifjou pltnsa , " said the kind gentleman "semi-weekly Interest , " ho addeJ. "I thought , " said Mrs. Barlow , 'It would bo only $1.60. " "Well , mom , " payj Mr. Doolong , "the gov- einmont , mom , has cold ono hundred and nixty millions cf bonds , and bonds come high ; our government , mom , sells Interest-beating bonds , mom , to back up Its currency , and Interest works twenty-four hours a day , whlls my hired man kicks like a steer becaus ? he has to work blxtcen ; yes , mem. " Now , aa Mrs. Barlow had only $1.CO tied up In her handkerchief , yhe had to call on Billee to bring forth 3 cents from tha fund ho had rcscrvcil for some victuals for the kids and to buy a stock of newspapers. Little Bllleo now waltzes to the front and emptlc.3 his pocket on the table ot the kind gentleman. The- kind gentleman thinks hs- seen some thing familiar In Little Billee. As Little Bil lee showel his wad pride swelled his heart and bio face flashed a smile that burned away the cobwebj In tits corners of the room and he stood a transfiguration la the midst ! Ills cash account showed 37 cents. The kind gentleman ran It over ; he- sees the 5 cents with a hole In It ! He glares ! Ills eyes bulge out ; lily collar button bunts ; npo- pUxy stare him In the face. Now , apoplexy did net eventuate , but cholera morbuu did , and for ono I am glad of It. "What ! Are jou that little fraud wto U3ld me Chrlstmaa morning three old papers ? i i i i t i Each of these stars stands for a constella tion or cus words. "I'll have j'e arrested ! " And ho took little Bllleo by the scurf of the neck and held him up. Little Blllee's smile flashed out got on to a telegraph wire out side of the window , I tni'pect , and joined Itself to the electric current till It found a giound. The fact Is he was tsrrlbly fright ened and his ma was speechless. "What his Billee done ? " says she. "Illllee- the bast boy a mother over had , " bald she. "It makes it worth while to bo a mother , " said t > li\ "to have a boy like Blllee. Please , sir , what lua he done ? " "Done ! he cheated me out of 5 cents sold me old papers ! " Bllleo wept and sild he did net mean to , and his ma stood right up for Billee and said she krevv he did not and tint they would now return the money. And so the kind gen tleman took out a 5-cant plec * . The 5-cent piece he teak did not have a hole In It. When ths kind gentleman saw how much money little Billee had besides the $100 , to- wlt , S7 cents' , ho said that there was some rattage , crlbbaga and leakage aad exchange that had not jet been settled and that It required a trifle moro tlnn Little Billee had to square accounts. Wh'n Little Billee heard this he felt worse than when he was held up by the neck , for whsre would the kids get grub to cat and when would he get some papers to sell ? Ma told Mr. Boolong what the nseds of the hour were- , but Mr. Boolong said that the financial situation was such , the government having sold ? 1GO.OOO,000 of bonds , that he thought he would rsally have to call In the whole $13 and foreclosa unlcbs that amount should bo paid in a week. Now , this wus a settl = r on Mrs. Barlow. What , take away their homo ar.d beU and the goats ? Where cauld she go ; what could she do ? Whereat slis began to cry and wall and disturb the neighbor. . Little Dlllee stood stock still , smllelesa , a gem of rarest ray rerene .hing ing on the lid of his right eye- and of his left. The kind gsntleman then said not to crv. that as they had bMn BO prompt to pay In terest and rattage , crlbbage , leakage and exchange , he really would not dlcturb tholr home , but would even give Bllles C cents back to tray papers with. And ho gave the 5 cents with a hole In Then Little Blllo and his ma took hold of hands and wont away , down In the elevator , out on the street nnd down the street , hold ing hands all the time , the hcart-bcata of one doing duty as the heart-beats of the other. And ma grew strong and Ulllea grew strong as they went along , though their stomachs sounded like a gong beating funeral marches to the grave ; Blie to do as best she might a mother's duty to helpless children and ho to bs her Light of Asia and her Light of tha World , her joy , her hope , her strength , and , as far as might be , acquire meat for the kid ? . As Little JJIIleo went along , the plate glass windows in the stores shone with the smlla of him who was , as It were , retrans- llgured , born again , the bright bravo boy ! CHAPTER IV.

FOUGHT ON A DINNER TABLE Memorable Fersonil Encounter Between Missouri Politicians , CHUNKS OF HATE , EOWIES ON THE SIDE Graphic Dcnrrlpllou of u 1'olltlrnl HitrliFouc rifty Vviirn AKO A , 'llirlllluir Soriur.iulliiK iiltlt Frt'yette , Mo. , In thp early days of tlio state , relates the St. Louis lUimblle , vvns the great political center. H was there the poli tics anJ policies of the commonwealth were maJo tip , bolh whig nnil democratic , livery election ycnr n Rrsal bnrbfcue was arranged , at which all of the Rrcat men of Missouri- all the politicians and JOUIIK men who de sired to train for leadership met. rrom every section of the state they cnme. 15x- ccpt these who lived on the Missouri river , they came on horseback , oml to rldo 200 miles to attend the large political sanhedrlns that met there was a small task for the as- plrinR politicians , for Tayctte was their Mecca. H was In 1S3S that the greatest of th ? great barbecues was held there. The Van Huron administration , that was over thrown In IS 10 by the elder Harrison , had caused great dissension In the ranks ot the democratic party. llosgs * as governor , and came very near assassination by the Mor mons. The great meeting was held on the t'lope ' of the rldgo on which now stands Central college , and north of Howard col lege. Just across the creek that ( lowed ut the base was the elegant residence of Thomas Kcjnolds , who the previous jear had been defeated for the- state senate by Judge lllrch , and who In 1S40 was elected governor over General John B. Clark of Howard county. Jtiat south of the Reynolds residence , on the crested ildge , was theresldencDof Ablel Leon ard , afterward chht justice of the supreme court of Missouri , U was a plctiircso.il ! spot , and the 10,000 men who were there from all portions of the state with their tents and wagons In the valley gave to the scene tha appearance similar to what may bo con- jcctural of the Isiaelltlsh camp when thoj went up to Jerusalem during their annual pilgrimage. The pltu In which were roasted the great beeves , sheep and hogs for the great multitude , were two In number , and each was over fifty yards long , and for jear ? afterward furnished a splendid natatorlum for the boys of Fajette , who went to school under Andrew J. Herndon , who yet lives In that place. Uenton was thrri , , Bj ga was there. Holllns , Leonard , Illngham. lllrch , Reynolds. Clalb Jackson ( afterward gov ernor ) , Donlphan , Swltzler , Clark , Senator Linn ( who succeeded Barton ) . A hby , Thomp son , Anderson , Heevcs , Hedil , Napton , Scott , Hyland and others , all of them political giants of tlioss > time. WHEN WHISKY PLOWED. In fact , the muster roll of that eventful day of those preyent embodied not only all of the great men of th ? stat ? , but would cover the mfrn who afterward ruled tha com monwealth In the senate , In congress , as governors and judges of the circuit and su preme courts. Speech's had boon made from half a doren stands before dinner was announced. Whisky was not only cheap , but It was good. It was too cheap to be adulterated , and It was rep resented by barrels , with the head knocked In , and a tin cup setting beside It. Dinner was icprescntcd by six tables , over fifty yards In length , and half the evening was consumed In feeding the Immense throng One table , however , was reseived for the big guns at homo and abroad , and as soon as it was cleared the reading of toasts be gan. Never , p-rhaps , olnco that day has there been such a gathering of notables at a political love feast In MlbMurl. It re minded one of the historical gatherings In the ancient Iloman Forum. At this table1 , at cither end , sat Major Clalborno F. Jackson , governor of Missouri in 1861 , and Colonel James H. Dirch , afterward Jude of the su preme court. Jackson was at that time one of the favorite lieutenants of Colonel Denton - ton , and so bitter was Denton's enmity to- waid lllrch that "ho d-ove him cut of the demociatlc into the whig party. Jackson and Birch wcro political rivals , and were just In the prime of their young and vigorous manhood. The toasts were reid first at one eml cf the table and then at the other. The first tor > st was road by Jacktun and reread by lllrch , and was sent to the president of the United States. The no\t tcast was by Birch , and was to the governor. Hoggs was , governor , and was hitting to tlio right of Birch when this toist was rend and drunk. Colonel U.nton sat In his seat anJ refuaed even to ralto his glass to his lips. Tills per sonal discourtesy did not cheapo the watchful and angry eye of Birch , but ho bided his tlm-1. Uenton hated Hoggs because Boggs had dared to run against him In the democratic caucus for his third election as United States aanator. In that caucus Iljnton only de feated Bo go one vote. This was a crime fiom the Benton standpoint , whlc'i Unit ; no eternity could neither condons or forgive. Ths next toast'was lead by Jackson , and it was ths stereotypsd toast fiat Cclonel U.n- ton exacted of his supporters at all large .mil small political gatherings In the state , and a failure to have It offered and passed at a Birall meeting once cost 13. M. Ityhind his position as receiver of the United States land office at Lexington , Mo. The toast was- "To our Illustrious senator , Colonel Thomas H. Uenton. " BIRCH'S OPPORTUNITY. This was the opportunity Birch had bpn waiting for , and In a fen minutes occurred at Wnt dining tabls one of the most thrilling and dramatic Incidents that ever took place on the political hustings of Missouri. After the tcast was handed ta him by Jackson's messenger , Colonel lllrch not only got upon Ills chair , but stepped from It to the tab , rnosu yoi alive vvno lenumuer juuge Hire. , o biiperb iViyglque ai.d know that while one of the nilUiest-mannerril men In the mate , yet when thoroughly aroused , like many of the old pioneers , did not fear Gccl , man or tlio devil , can well Imagine the thrilling uccne Every ono present knew that IJIrch and lien- ton were the bitterest of personal c-n'inles and hated eaa * > other with venomous animos ity , and they caught their breath when they saw lllrch mount the table with the toast In hit ) .hand , and Instead of reading It , held It high In the ulr. After waiting long enough to draw every one's attention , Colonel lllrch , In that Eonoroua voice of his , so veil remem bered by old-timers yet alive , paid : "Major Jackron , that toaat will net be read at this end of the table until Colonel Dentou rises and apologizes to the pepplo present for lita rudeness In refusing to drink to the health of the governor. " Had a holt of lightning exploded In their mldat It would not have created as great ex citement and consternation as did the auda cious action of Colon ; ! Birch. Major Jackson himself waa to thunderstruck he thought per haps ho had not heard the words of Birch correctly , and asked him to ropeut them , which ho did with additional emphasis , for Birch felt that he was master of tli ? situation for once In open public defiance cf Ms b't- tcrcist enemy , and there wan no escaping from the situation , There was nothing for Jark- Bon to do but to fact" tlis music , for by hla ldo eat Imperial Denton openly , ilagruntly nd bitterly defied by his strongest enemy , nnd put to shame before the p'ople of the Hate. Just what passed between Jackson and Uenton In the few momenta they whispered together no ono over know , but almost In stantly Jaclcton sprang from his chair upon tlis taMp. Jackson drew hl bowle knife , an pistols were not uced In those days , After coolly surveying his antagonist Illich drew liU bowlo knife also with a tlioiit of wel come , and the two men start-'d toward each other. An eye witness to the acenu nays that Jackson approached his foe warily , but the picture of a debonair cavalier , whlla Burch , with a step us buoyant as ever the Doughs tied his highland home , started to meet Jack son , They were both about the tame age and alzo , Jackson not ijulte to tall ab Birch , They both embodied the clilvaliy of llio lati tude In which they were born.

Diforo rwchlng one another the people who were nr r the tftbl , being nrou iM by the shouts around them , comprehended the sceneami gmplng Jackson and Dlrch by the legs drew them by main force from the table and dis armed them , thin putting an rnd to the fear ful exhibition nnd preventing what would undoubtedly have befn ono of the bloodiest personal encounters In the political nnniU of the state. The episode put an end to the toast rcadlnR , nnd for once In hla career Colonel Itcntbn failed ef an Indorsement at the largest state meeting ever held In Mis- potirl. Jackson nnd Dlrch , nllhoiiRh living In tha same town , never carried the actions of that day Into their future associations. Years afterward they bMh co-operated In killing Colonel Ucnlon politically. Jackson , being a senator , was chosen' to Introduce the cele brated resolution * , from which Colotrl Hen- ton apr-eilcd In 1S49 , nnd which led to thi most txcltlng political contest ever had In MIsoMirl , nnd which way ended In 1S56 bj the election of Trusten 1'olk as governor , his competltlor being no less a personigl than Colonel Beaten himself.

I must ha\o got off the road for I didn't find the people , nnd late In tin afternoon started back for town. The waj was overn lonely , narrow , crooked backwoodi reid , bordered by deep woods. Toward dusk , as I was rounding a short turn IE the road , my horse , which had a good deal of spirit , suddenly shied , and then sprang forward on a furious run. At the snme In. stant an animal with glaring o es plumped down In the sleigh at my feM. It had evi dently leaped from a tree at the horse , but the quick movement of the hors-s defeated the animal's purpose , ana It alighted with Ita fore feet on the robe that lay across my lap. It glared savagely at me , with Its face not more than two feet away , as It china to the robs with Its sharp claws , growling fiercely. I had never seen a wildcat , but I knew that I had one to deal with , nnd It seemed aery large and suvago one at that. I had no weapon except my whip , which , fortunately , was loaded at the butt. "Clinging to the reins with my left hand , I drew the whip from the socket and otruck the wildcat a blow with It on the head , which caused the animal to loosen Its hold on the tobo nnd drop Into the snow. It was up In a second nnd pursued me. It came on wlih In creased fury nnd sprang upon the back of the sleigh , which was low. Although the horoa was running madly away along the narrow and crooked road , throwing the sleigh from side to sldo and threatening It constantly with de struction agaln t some rock or ptump , I was compelled to drop the reins and leave the- re sult of the runaway to chance , for the wildcat was struggling desperately to gain a foothold In the slalgh and fight me at close quarters. I knew that it tlm sleigh should come Into collision w tu any cU lacla heavy enough to wreck It I would bo no match for the catamount , fighting on ( ho sllppeiy snow , oven It 1 were unharmed by the colllblon , and so I sti allied every nerve to conquer ths determined beast while I way still at an advantage In the sleigh. "Onco I thought It was all up with me- , for , as the sleigh v > as carried abruptly round a short turn by the flying horw , one runner Btiuck n stone nnd the Melgh circuited and ran for two roils on the oth ° r runner. I me chanically threw the weight of my body against the upper sldo of the sleigh , all the time raining blows on the he id of the wildcat , and forced tlu runner down Into the track again. A few moro blows after that , and I ivas rejoiced to see the tenacious brute first locsen ere claw , hang for n second with the other , whllo it tried to se-lzo the- hick of tha slolgh again with Its teeth , nnd then fall Into the enow and lie there motionless "I dropped upon my seat , too weak to make any effort to regain control of my liorjp , which was still rushing wildly along the un certain load , now mads otlll njoro uncertain by the gathering darkness. The Inrse ran for at least three miles , nnd then stopped from sheer exhaustion. 1 had by that tlmo recovered sufficiently to drlvo ths rest of the way to town , which wasn't far , nnd where I ailived with a horpo covered from heiul to foot with foam , a slolgli splintered and cov- creil deep with scratches made by th des perate wildcat , and myfelf pretty Imclly used up by nervous shock. It was three days be- foio I was able to gat about In anything Ilka my usual Hlupo , and I gave up my traveling iwwlng machine buslnets there and then , I never heard whether I hail killed the cata mount or not , but I have an Idea I did.
