One January evoning Homo years
Ifo a parti’ were path cruel together
In ono of tlio grandest houses In Purls
It was tho evo of Twelfth Day which
n perhaps you know is tho time for
much merry-making in Franco If
you could have peeped into tho cosy
drawing-room you would have seen
upon tho table there a largo richly
niado cake and what tnaclo this cake
so precious was that somewhere in it
a bean lay hiddou Oh a very ordi-
nary bean indeed but a beau which
everybody present hoped the fairies
might put iuto his or her slice for
whoever found it would bo tho “Bean-
King" (or queen) till Twelfth Night
came round again
Among£the company ’however wasa
lady who declared that she did not
want her share '
“Let it bo given please" she said
“to the poorest little boy you can find
in the streets"
It was a curious fancy but tho lady
of the house at once sent out in search
of Much a child Presently the servant
returned dragging by the arm a poor-'
ly-clad little fellow of nine or so with
hungry-looking eyes that wandered
eagerly arouud the beautiful room
After the cake had been out the boy
took a piece with tho other guests
anil then went on quietly eating A
few moments later they heard a shout
lf joy and there lje was holding up
tlie bean itself for every one to see
“The bean! it is tho bean!" they
cried wondering what the fairies could
be thinking about “lie is the Dean-
King!" '
“Now" they said when he was
seated In the throne chair “you must
choose a queen little one Which
lady hero would you like to have for
your queen?"
I Giving a quick glanoe round the
room tho little fellow to their amaze-
ment at once singled out Mme R
the same lady who had yielded her
share of the cake to him
“Why do you choose her?” some one
asked '
“Because — " he answered shyly “be-
cause she looks most like mother”
“Like mother! Who is thy mother
then?"
“Ah I do not know" said the boy
sadly “I cannot even remember her
I was taken away from my mother
years and years ago— but here is her
portrait" As he spoke he pulled a
very old and tarnished locket from in-
side his coat
Madame R who had turned very
white as he finished speaking now
thrust herself forward
“Let me see it please!” she begged
“yes look all of you” she went on
her voice trembling with emotion “it
is my likeness my own likeness! And
you must be my little Jean whom God
has given back to me!"
Then taking the boy in her arms
while she covered him with kisses she
told her friends of how eight years
before while traveling with her
husband in ' Italy her baby boy had
been stolen from them All search
and inquiry at the time had resulted
in nothing and now after many years
and in this wonderful way he had
been restored to her at last
That die was indeed her son was
Boon proved beyond all doubt and
Mme R — had cause euough to thank
heaven for the kind thought that hud
prompted her to give an evening’s en-
joyment to the little waif — N Y

A littla (itrl’s l’rtitlons
A little girl in bod in the other room
is praying to go to sleep but fighting
to stay awake “Oh Lord" said she
“make me good and let me go in the
omnibus to see Aunt Margaret and all
the aunts and nieces and mothers
Keep mo safe- for I want to go and see
Aunt Margaret and see what I can see
Don't let it hail snow or rain for I

There was a short pause and then
the wiilo-awake defiant voice went on:

snake I am going to toll you two llttlo in
cidcnta which are quite true they
happened wlion I was a girl living on
our plantation in Louisiana In ono
cuso I was a witness ana in tho otlior
an unwilling participant
Early onb morning— I think it was
in tlio spring— my brother and I were
walking in tho garden followed by
two of my father’s hunting-dogs Ono
of tlio dogs left us and began watch
ing intently some objeet under a low-
branching shrub close by Our atten
tion was uttractod to the spot and wo
went over to investigate
At first wo were unable to define
tho object nnd it was some time bo-
fore we could tell just wlmt It was
At last it proved to ho a king-snake in
tho act of swallowing a moccasin
almost as largo as itsolf The moc-
casin was about half swallowed and
both snakes wero quite still when we
first observed them Wo quietly
seated ourselves a little distance oil in
order to watch the operation
- It was a very slow tedious opera-
tion the moccasin was disappearing
by inches with long intervals of rest
between the acts and wo grew very
tired of watching At last only a few
inches of the moccasin remained visi-
ble when the dog then dozing in the
sunshine sprang up and began to
bark Instantly there was great com-
motion under the bushes the king
snake in a few seconds had ejected the
moccasin and both of them glided
swiftly out of sight
One morning not long afterwards
while we were at breakfast one of
the servants in a state of great excite-
ment rushed Into the dining-rooui ex-
claiming: “Dere’s a great big snake layin’
ober do dairy door!” ' ‘
We that is my father and tho
older children rose hurriedly from
the table and went out to the- dairy
My father climbed up over the door
prepared to kill the Intruder but
finding a king-snake lying upon- the
transom lie merely shoved it off with
his foot
I was then about 12 years old and
like most children of that age was
curious to see everything that was
goirfg on so had stationed my-
self directly in front of the dairy door
The snake in fallitg struck with
some force against my right ankle
and in an instant had coiled itseli
tightly around it
Dlt was but the work of a second and
before I fully realized the situation
the bnake began to uncoil and in a
few seconds more was quietly gliding
away— Philadelphia Times

Pauline is a dimpled darling who
rules the house with love and her
quaint style and original sayings usu-
ally keep the membors of the family
in smiles from one week's end to the
other It is the habit of the fond
mamma when Saturday night comes
to indulge the little queen who is
very fond of paddlirg in the bath tub
Only a short time ago she drew a warm
bath and put the young lady in to
amuse herself for a while Then she
left her playing with the flesh brush
and went away to attend to something
else Very soon she came back and
said: “Well how is my precious get-
ting along?”
“I’m having lots of fun with this

A Juvenile Pleasantry
Grandma has often said to Tommy
that when anything tells him to hesi-
tate when he is about to do wrong it
is his conscience One day the little
fellow came in and said: “Grandma I
was going to fight Johnny Juddy this
morning but my conscience as you
call -it said something that held me
back" “It did?” returned grandma
“I suppose it told you how wicked it
was to fight?” “Well no grandma
It said: ‘Look how much bigger
Johnny Juddy is than you are!” '

THE COMPANY’S
an unconventional character some-
times regarded as criminal but then
one can get used to anything and the
benefits which would accrue are not to
’be reckoned lightly
In a word the state of Arkansas has
'entered into an agreement with north
ern capital represented by Austin Cor-
bin &Co by which all the state’s con-
victs are to bo transferred into a sort
of Garden of Eden whore tho mos-
quitoes bite not and the alligator does
not pursue the festive pickaninny
writes a correspondent in a New York
paper
The spot chosen is a great farm sit-
uated on an island in Chicot lake
which is of a most peculiar formation
winding about the land as it does in
tho shape of a horseshoe meeting at
two extremities the Mississippi river
The water surroundings of course
make the place an ideal one for the
confinement of convicts
These malefactors instead of having
to submit to tlio lockstep and close
confinement of their northern brothers
in crime wiU work in the open air and
will be well housed aud well fed to
such a degree that it is not believed
they will try to escape especiaUy as
their work will not be of a very labor-
ious character
Since the war tlie southern planta-
tion owner has grown gray very
young owing to the shiftlessness and
absolute unreliability of the darkies
on whose labor he hashad to depend for
conductinga cotton plantation ou a
profitable basis lie soon found that
the negro with a dollar in his pocket
wouldn’t work until he got ready even
if the crop went to ruin for the lack of
some one to gather it
With this idea in view the peniten-
tiary commissioners of Arkansas who
comprise Governor Fishbaek Attorney
General Clarke and Secretary of State
Armistead after consultation with
Mr Corbin's representatives decided
to move all the convicts of tho state to
tlie Sunnyside plantation on Chicot
island -
It has long been a problem with the
southern planters how to reduce ‘ the
cost of growing cotton render their
lands more productive and make money
out of their product Many years ago
the southern planters were generally
wealthy comfortable and satisfied
with the results obtained from raising
cotton but of late years this condition
of satisfaction has been changed to
one of discontent and now they are
unanimous in their belief that there is
less money in the product than hereto-
fore Directly responsible for this condi-
tion of affairs are the unsettled state
and unreliable tendency of the colored
fa inn laborer the farmer's inability to
gi7e to his crop ths proper attention
at the all-important season and the
cu lsequence in most cases that the
co ton stalk is not fruited as it should
bo nnd an Inferior grade of cotton in
grown which will lutrdly bring in tho
market tho oost of produotion
Whether tho laborer or tho planter is
responsible for tills stata of affairs is
dllllmilt to say but investigation of
tlio question loads ono to conclude if
cotton Is properly planted nursed und
cured for in duo suason ns it should ho
thoro is abundant profit to tlio planter
oven ut a much less price than Ims
lately ruled tho market
There is us much depend out upon tho
laborer in tho cultivation of cotton as

cated ns tlio labor question Is to tlio
southern planter has boon tho convict
question with southern state official

required to clothe feed and guurd its
convicts Tho leiisit system which 1ms

and the free and independent citizens
ns laborers and many other objcctiona-'
bio features in this system have proven
so obnoxious anil distasteful to people
generally that it has been abandoned
in quite a number of states and others
are undertaking to do away with it
at as early a date as the contracts will
permit
The largo area of land of the most
fertile class uncultivated'! the south
from lack of planters renders tho farm
about the only place on which a con-
vict can be worked where' competition
does not exist and where- the revenue
to be derived is far in exsess of that
undor tlio lease system
Whon negotiations jverts- begun by
the state of Arkansas for the lease of
Sunnyside there was considerable op-
position from certain sources bnt a
thorough investigation of the property
led the state officials to concludo that
it was the only tract ot land in the
STEAMER AT LAKESIDE LANDING
state that would answer all the pur-
poses required and at the same time
prove Jself-sustaining and profitable
It has heretofore been considered about
the best the state could do to receive a
revenue of 838 to 840 per annum for
each convict able bodied and compe-
tent to do such work as coal mining
railroad building etc but the revenue
thus derived was hardly sufficient to
take care f the weaker class of con-
victs who ere not physicaUy able to
work at anything '
It is estimated that by this arrange-
ment with the Sunnyside plantationnot
from mere figures and what should be
done but from actual results obtained
in past years in farming this land a
very good profit yer year may be real-
ized when all la in working order It
Is thought a profit may bo obtained
which would not the otuto from 8172 to
820(1 pur annum per convict

which Is owned liy tho Sunnysidu com
puny affords every facility for the

It Is tho purpoHo of tlio stnto nnd tho

It is understood that of' tho entlro
twelve thousand ucroo thoro Is not un

It Iiqh long been a question of grave
consideration liow tlie many complica-
tions arising out of tho present convict
Kystom in Arkansas Could bo adjusted
and it will no doubt be a source of
great relief to the public of that state
generally to know that arrnngomcnta
have now been consummated whereby

LYNCH LAW IN OLDEN DAYS'

cutod sternly and swiftly upon tha
H)ot of their dollvory

rage A remedy wus neodod for this
insufferable stato of things a rorao-
dy that should at oneo striko such
terror to thoso miscreants as would
relievo a community already suffer-
ing from the effects ot hostilo Inva-
sion Colonel Lynch was tho man to
take tho loud in such an emergency
He sueoeoded in organizing a body of
pntriotlo citizens men of known char-
acter and standing Having laid hi
plans for them and socuring their
approval he at onco' proccodod to ‘
put them into execution At the
hoad of his followers he promptly
got upon tho track of tho unsuspecting-enemy
captured many nnd caused
the others to loave tho country
-When any of these outlaws foil Into
his hands they wore not taken at
once to a tree and hanged or tied to
a stake and shot as is now dono un-
der the perverted system of the pres-
ent day This was not according to
the code of Colonel Lynch and hi
followers So far from such a law-
dess procedure a jury was selected
from Lynch’s mon over which ho
presided as judgo the captives were
triod separately tho aooused allowed
to make his own defense and to
show cause if ho could why he
should not be punished If found
guilty the punishment was lulllctod
on the spot The general impressiou
was that Jn all cases of Lynch law
the penalty was death This Is a
mistake A writer who knew Col-
onel Lynch well was assured by him
that he never willingly condemned a
oriinlnal to capital punishment that
prisoners wore frequently let oil with
a-severe flogging and then liberated
on condition that they would leave

Caves of Now Mexico and Arizona 1
Whenever a cave is newly discov-
ered in New Mexico or Arizona tho
flnder’a first hope is that he has un-
earthed an old Spanish or Mexican
mine but this seldom or never has
proved to be the case Generally
these boles in the mountains are nat-'
ural caves in limestone or sandstone
formations but somotimes they llo
between walls of hard rock which
perhaps contain mineral deposits in-
dicating that the primitive civilized
Indians may have dug their way in
following a soft streak in search of
talo to-use ia pottery making with
no thought for precious metals
Stalactites snowy white hang from
their roofs and where mineral water
has percolated these crystallization
take on gorgeous metallic hues
Human bones are sometimes found in
those caves and other evidences of
human work or former occupancy
The Coffee cave and Robinson’s cave
In tho Black range in Southern
New Mexico have beon explored for
several hundred feet and other large
caves in that region remain to bo ex-

Trees are felled by electricity in
tho great forests of Galicia For
cutting comparatively BOft wood the
tool is in the form of an auger
which is mounted on a carriage and
is moved to and fro and revolved at
tho same time by a small electrio
motor As the cut deepens wedges
are inserted to prevent the rift freon
closing’ and when the tree is nearly
cut through an ax or a hand saw is
used to finish the work In this
way trees are felled very rapidly and
with very little labor
