LITTLE FEET.
Patter, patter, little feet,
Making melody so sweet;
Music we all lore to hear.
Charming to the list'ning ear;
Never weary In the light.
Tireless in the shades of night: .
Rest less little feet at play,
Patter, patter all the day.
Patter, patter, little feet.
Chasing butterflies so neat.
O'er the fragrant lawn and lea.
Busy as the toiling bee;
Dancing where the sunbeams fall,
Hunning quick at papa's call;
Happy, sportive at your play.
Patter, patter all the day.
Patter, patter, little feet,
Vilong the roses blooming sweet.
Where the robin sings his lay
And the precious children play;
Bummer skie3 above the glow
Bright as baby's eyes below.
Winsome little feet that stray.
Tatter, patter all the day.
Patter, patter, little feet,
Straying where the brooklets meet.
Flitting o'er the meadows fair.
Seeking pleasure everywhere;
Fondly answ'ring love's sweet "11,
Bringing bliss of life to all.
Precious little feet at play.
Patter, patter all the day.
-Theodore D.C.Miller in New York Weekly.
TWICE TEN YEARS.
I remember it as well as if it were yes
terday. The carriage stood at the door
that was to take me back to school for
the spring term. My mother gave me
innninerable instructions, smoothed my
collar and adjusted my cap on my head
properly, then gave me a kiss and stood
looking wistfully at me as I went down
the walk and got into the carriage.
A month or two later it was in June,
I think after a hard struggle one after
noon with some figures, all about a ship
and a cargo and the profit and all that,
I went out to join the boys. When I
Teached the play ground they were gone,
and there was nothing for me to do but
amuse myself as best I could. I strolled
around the house with my hands in my
pockets (which my mother had told me
-distinctly I must not do), and suddenly
remembering her instructions took them
out again; then, for . want of better
amusement, I began to whistle.
Next to the school there was a pretty
cottage separated from the school house
by a board fence. The two houses were
not 100 feet apart, and I could look right
through under the trees, and there on
the croquet ground stood a girl, a trifle
younger than myself, looking straight
at me.
Now, when a boy suddenly finds him
self observed by a girl he feels very
queer. I remember that very welL My
hands went right into my pockets, but
remembering that was not the correct
thing to do in the presence of a girl I
took them directly out again. Then 1
concluded that it would be a good way
'to show how little I was embarrassed by
turning twice around on my heel, a
movement on which I greatly prided
myself. After that I don't remember
now it Was so long ago what new
capers I cut. But one thing is very cer
tain. I was soon hunting for something
I pretended to have lost in the grass be
side the fence.
"H it's your knife you've lost," I heard
-.a little voice say, "it isn't there. I
picked up a knifo there a week ago, but
it was all rusty and no good." ,
"Oh, never mind," I said, looking up
into two eyes away back in a sunbonnet,
"it wasn't much of a knife anyway, and
I've got another."
"Are j-oa one of tho boys at the
school?"
"Yes."
"What reader are yon in?"
I "The Fourth."
j "Do you study geography?"
j "Yes."
' "What's the capital of the United
States?"
f I scratched my head.
"I don't remember that," I admitted
reluctantly. "I'm first rate on capitals,
but I can't recollect that one."
"Why didn't you go off with the
boys?"
pect they've gone to the river. I like
the woods pretty well, they're full of
"And snakes," she added.
"I'm not afraid of snakes." . - .
, "And lizards."
"Nor lizards. I suppose you're afraid
to go there."
"No, I'm not."
"If you want to go there now, and axe
afraid, I don't mind going along, just to
keep off snakes and things." . . ' .
She looked wistfully out at the wood.
I can see her now leaning on her mallet,
deliberating if such a process can be
called deliberation where the conclusion
is predetermined the straight, lithe fig
ure poised between the mallet and one
foot, one little leg crossed on the other
peering out at the forest. Suddenly,
without any warning, she dropped the
mallet and started for the wood.
"We were not long in crossing the field
and were walking in the dense shade
when she stopped, and looking at me
with her expressive eyes said:
"How still it is in here! It seems to
me I can almost hear it be still."
"Yes, it is pretty solemn," I replied.
"Let's go on; the river winds around
oown there and we can see the water go
- over the dam."
I heard a distant voice calling "Julia."
It was very faint;- she did not hear it; I
stood a moment hesitating.
"Come, let's go," I said, starting for
ward. "Julia," I heard again, more faintly
than before.
I hurried her on, fearing she would
hear the voice and turn back. '
Presently we emerged from the wood
and stood by the river. I -was familiar
;with the ground, and led my little friend
Idirectly ,to the dam. :.
k-: "Most of; thelsoya are afraid to walk
V lout on that dam," I said. f ' :
"l a De arraia. . .
. ' "But you're only a girl; a boy ought
n't to be afraid." With that I started
boldly out, occasionally standing on qne
foot and performing sundry antics to
show what a brave boy I was. Then I
came part way back and called to her to
come.
"Oh, no," she eaid; 'Tm afraid."
"Afraid! You little goosej with me
to hold on tor ,
Betwixt her fear and a disposition
pliable to a boy older and stronger than
herself, it was not long before I was
leading her out on the dam.
"Don't yon see it's nothing?" I said.
She shrank back as I led her along. I
determined that she should go to a point
where the water poured over a portion
$t the dam lower than the rest. I turned
inback tojtep np on the post. Ifcwaa-
uuii luumcui. x iiearCi a cry, ana saw
Julia in the flood. The expression that
was in her eyes is to this day stamped
clearly on my memory an expression of
mingled reproach and forgiveness.
I could scarcely swim a dozen strokes,
but not a second had elapsed before I
was in the flood.
I swam and struggled and buffeted to
reach her; all in vain.' An eddy whirled
me in a different direction. My strength
was soon exhausted. I was borne down
the river, sinking and rising, till I came
to a place where I caught a glimpse as I
came to the surface of a man running
along some planks extending into the
river and raised above the water on
posts. My feet became entangled in
weeds. I sank. I heard a great roaring
in my ears, then oblivion.
When I came to I was lying on my
back. I remember the first thing I 6aw
was a light cloud sailing over the clear
blue. There was an air of quiet and
peace in it that contrasted with my own
sensations. Then I saw a man on his
knees beside something he was rubbing.
I turned my head aside and saw it was a
little figure a girl, J ulia. She was cold
and stark. r
My agony was far greater than when I
had plunged after her into the stream.
Then I hoped and believed that if she
were drowned I would " be also. Now I
saw her beside me lifeless, and I lived.
Then some men came, and the man
who was rubbing Julia said to them,
"Take care of the boy; the girl is too
far gone." They took me up and carried
me away and laid me for awhile on a
bed in a strange house. .Then I was
driven to the school. . - . '
The next day my father came and
took mo home. I was ill after that, too
ill to ask about Julia, but when I re
covered what a load was taken from my
mind to know that by dint of rubbing
and rolling and a stimulant she had
been brought to and . had recovered. I
also learned that the man who cared for
us had seen Julia fall and had rescued
her. When I saw him running along
the plants it was to his boat chained to
the end.
That summer my father removed with
hi3 family to Ibo Pacific coast. He was
obliged to wait some time for my recov
er, but at last I was able to travel, and
left without again seeing the little girl
whom I had led into danger. I only
beard that I had been blamed by every
one.
- Ten years passed, during which I was '
constantly haunted by one idea; that
was to go back to New England, find,
Julia and implore her forgiveness. The
years that I. must be a boy and depend
ent seemed interminable. At last I
came of age and received a small fortuno
that had fallen to me, and as soon as the
papers in the case were duly signed and
sealed I started east.
It was just about the same time of the
year and the same hour of the afternoon
as when I first saw Julia that I walked
into the old school grounds. I had fully
intended to go in next door and call for
her, but my courage failed me. I had
heard nothingof her for years.
Was she j
dead? Was she living? Was she in her
old home, r far away? These thoughts
chased each other through my mind and
I dreaded to know.
I was standing at the school entrance ,
with my hand on tho bell when I heard
a door in the next- house open and then
shut. - From that moment I could feel
that Julia was near me. She came out
of the house a slender, graceful girl of
nineteen, and picking up a-croquet mal
let commenced to knock the balls about
I wanted to make myself known, but
dreaded the horror with which she would
regard me when she should know who I
was. .-
"I beg pardon," I said, raising my hat,
"can you tell me if the school is still
there?" pointing to the house. .
"It was moved some years ago," she
replied, regarding me with the old hon
est gaze. '. ' - ,
"I was one of the scholars." -
"Indeed!" She spoke without any
further encouragement for me to go on.
"I see tho wood has not been cut
away," I added, glancing toward it.
"No, it does not seem to be."
"Were you ever there?"
"Oh, yes, often." " ,
"And is that old dam still across the
river?" ' - - . ..- ' ' : i
"I believe it is." . j
"Were you ever on the dam?" '"
She looked at me curiously. I went
on without waiting for a reply: .
".Would you mind showing me the
way to it? It is a long while since I was
there." ! ;. .
She drew herself up with a 'slight
hauteur. Then thinking that perhaps I
was unaccustomed to the conventional j
ways of civilized life, she said pleas- i
antly: .
"You nave only to walk through the ;
wood straight back of the house and you
will come to it." ' ' I
"Thank you," I replied, "but I hoped
you would 6howjne the way."
'She looked puzzled... V
"Miss Julia," I Said, altering my tone,
"I once met youi when I was a boy here
at school." ; f
... "I knew a number of the scholars,"
she said, more interested; "who may
you be?"
I dreaded to tell her. "If you will,
pilot me to the dam," I said, "I will in
form you."
She thought a moment; then turned
and looked out at the wood. With the
quick motion with which she had made
the same move as a child she started for
ward. ,
Wo walked eide by side to the wood,
through it and out on the river bank.
There was the water- and- -the dam;
everything as it had been.
-"Did you ever try to walk out there??
I asked. : ,.- - . ; :-
'Onco, when I 'was' a child, I came
here with a boy, and we walked to where
the water pours over. I met with an
accident. I fell in." Y
. "The boy overpersuaded you, "I sup
pose?" . , ... "
It was difficult for me to conceal a cer
tain trepidation at the mention of my
fault. T
- "No, I went of my own accord."
- "He certainly must have been to
blame. He was older and stronger than
you." . '
"On the contrary," she said, with a
slight rising irritation, "he jumped after
me like the noble little fellow that be
was."
I turned away on pretense of examin
ing a boat down the river.
, "At any rate he must have begged
your forgiveness on his bended knees
for permitting you to go into such a
danger."
- "I- never saw him again. Ho went
awav." .
I fancied at laast I hoped I could
detect a tinge of sadness in her voice.
"I have often wished," she went on,
"that he would come back, as the other
scholars sometimes do, as you are now,
and let me tell him how much I thank
him for his noble effort." ' . .
"Julia," I said, suddenly turning and
facing her, 'this is too much. I am that
boy. I led you into the wood. I forced
you to go out on the dam with me. I
permitted you to f .all in."
"And more than atoned for all by risk
ing your life to save me!" .
Ah, that look of surprised delight
which accompanied her words! It was
worth all my past years of suffering, of
fancied blame; for in it I read how dearly
she held the memory of the boy who had
at least shared tho danger for which he
was responsible. .
I do not remember if she grasped my
hand or I grasped hers. At any rate
we stood hand ia hand looking into each
other's faces.
I blessed the Providence that ended
my punishment; I blessed the good for
tune that had led me to a knowledge of
the kindly heart beside me. Of all the
moments of my life I still count it far
the happiest.
Then we walked back through the
woods, over the intervening field, and
stood together leaning against the fence"
between the old school and her home.
i; ' .
Wc did not part after that for another
ten years. Then she left me to go
whence I can' pevbi . recall her. " Yet
there is a trystirtg place ia the woods,
through which wo once passed as chil
dren, and often "afterward as lovers.
There I watch the flecked sunlight avi
mark the silence; and it seems to me that
I can "hear it be still." More thau that,
I know the pure soul looks at me through
the honest eyes. P. A. MitcheL
A Tositive nlnt.
A man can bemore politely insulted in
Pari3 than iu any city in the world. A
gentleman who undertook . to speak in
public there expressed himself in such a
low tone of voice that the audience were
unable to hear him. He was lecturing
upon a geographical subject, and copies
of a map about three feet square had
been generally distributed."
Presently one of the audience rolled
up his map in the form of a very long
attenuated lamplighter, inserted the
small end in his ear and turned the other
end toward the speaker.. It was a rather
ludicrous performance, but not a laugh
was heard among tho polite assemblage;
In two minutes, however, every map in
the audience Was turned into an ear
trumpet, and the speaker saw himself
confronted with a sort of mammoth
porcupine, whose nearest quill3 almost
touched him. ' He at once spoke louder.:

, Enterprising Advertising.
A firm on Fourteenth street, in the
busiest shopping neighborhood, has in- .
troduced a novel advertisement. A
painted theatrical ocean is constructed
on the roof of one house, while the roof
of the adjoining building, being a little
higher, serves as the shore. On this
shore a man attired a3 the lone fisher
man sits and-industriously goes through
the pantomime of fishing. Now. and
then he works the lines of a miniature
sailboat, causing the latter to skim the
mimic sea. All of this attracts the at
tention of thousands of people on the
opposite walk. For fear, however, thaF
some might go by without seeing it, a
hired confederate of the lone fisherman
saunters along the walk and gazes up
ward. It is human nature to stop and
look at anything anybody else is looking
at. Result, crowds of curious gazers.

About Furnaces.
In placing your. furnace, in your new
house, always remember that lateral
pipes never give out much heat. The
hot' air must invariably ascend to pro
duce a current, and therefore we see
very often a register in the third story
giving out splendid heat, when in the
extension library; where warmth is par
ticularly desired, the air of the room is
hardly affected at all. In a large coun
try house it would really be better to
have' two small furnaces rather than
one large one. . Less . coal would be
used to more purpose, and they would
not be much more troublesome to tend
than is one. But if you have two, do
not make the mistake of putting them
side by side, as was done in a very large
house near New York. This simply in
tensified the heat in the same part of the
house without carrying it into the wings,
where it was chiefly needed. New York

An Aeronaut's Experience.
. A story is "told of the' thrilling' ex
perience of a veteran aeronaut with a
bald eagle and a Connecticut constable.
During a recent ascension, when at a
height of 8,000 feet, the balloonist was
attacked by the eagle. A desperate fight
ensued, which resulted in the eagle being
killed. , Half fainting, the- aeronaut
descended to terra fir ma. When he had
recovered he hunted for and found the
dead bird. While he was examining his
prize the constable came along and ar
rested him for killing the bird, for which
offense, he claimed, a fine of $30 is im
posed. The aeronaut, it is related, had
more difficulty in escaping punish
ment than he bad in killing . the bird.'

THE LITTLE EAT MULE;;
DISAPPEARING FROM THE STREET
RAILWAY SERVICE. , -
Where He Cornea from and Whence He
Is Going What He Costs, Broken and
Unbroken A Hardy Little Brute Hli
Work and Years of Service.
How often one hears the remark,
"Just look at those mules drawing that
car; they look like rats." They have
thus become, known very generally as
little rat mules, and the description is a
good one certainly. Many of them don't
look much larger than a good sized billy
goat, being so small that they are hidden
from the people 'in the car by the dash
board in front. It certainly does look
cruel to make them pull a car loaded
down with people, a load that would
strain powerful horses on an up grade.'
It is like a great many other things,
however.
It is cruel only in "appearance. The
little mule is equal to this and much
more. If the car would hold more peo
ple he and his mate would pull it any
place, and on a level would take it skip
ping along so fast that you would almost
begin to think no other motive power
was required to realize rapid transit He
has endurance, speed and strength and
thrives where an animal more hardy and
stronger in appearance would soon die.
In rapid motion he goes by jumps and,
jerks, but he accomplishes thV'dsir ect
result, and is one of the most servicea
ble, animals to be had in the street rail
way business. ' -
He is, however, rapidly disappearing,
giving way to mechanical motors. As
the old darky said when he saw the elec
tric cars, "The Yankees is great peo
ple; they wa'nt satisfied ter free de
nigga, and now they've done gone and
freed de mules." That is about the case.
In St. Louis, for instance, tho little rat
mules and, for that matter, the larger
mule and the horse are few in number,
not one in thirty for those" employed as
recently as three years ago. With our
increase in population, new industries,
etc., this is a somewhat remarkable
statement, but it is correct.
The littlo rat mule is a peculiar ani
mal. Born and raised in the southwest,
Texas and Mexico, he is now going to
the south and southeast for service on
the plantations. In" the very recent past,
when all the street cars were drawn by
horses and mules, the demand for them
was very great for that purpose, but as
things generally equalize themselves, so
has the demand for horses and mules.
The street railway companies which
have changed to cable or electric motor
power have generally disposed of their
live stock to very fair advantage, though
there are still on hand some of the little
rat mules that are unused, . .
: This little animal is one f some value,
though he does not look it. Twenty dol
lars would be a very fair valuation, but
in fixing that estimate you would be
away off the mark. Unbroken he com
mands considerable more than that.
The cheapest lot that ever came to St.
Louis, probably, was one of 200, the
price paid for them being a few cents
less than twenty-six dollars per head,
but they were -unbroken-.-" He is a stub
born little brute, and there is considera
ble labor in breaking him so he can be
put ahead of a bobtail and trusted to
the average driver. Thus broken he
has a value of sixty to seventy-five dol
lars. One would naturally suppose that his
raiser would break him, and get his en
hanced price, but, as a rule, he has come
to the St. Louis railroads as wild as
could be, and also as stubborn, but the
employees of tho companies have had a
great deal of. fun in breaking them in
and reducing them to tractability. They
have also had some exciting experiences,
togas the little fellow has heels quite as
serviceable as his larger relative, and he
knows how to use them too. You have
got to look out for them, and you have
got to put some muscle into use when
you think you have an easy task to hold
them with the lines. This is not at all
easy sometimes, as he has strength and
frequently a very , hard mouth hard
enough to pull a bobtail car by it with
the traces slackened.
It has been said that it seems cruel to
run these little fellows to a street car
loaded down with passengers. To the
contrary, there are few animals which
have an easier life. The pulling of the
car is nothing to them. They can laugh
at that and grow fat. Twenty-five to
thirty miles a day for them is nothing at
all, and that is about what they cov
er, with rests between trips. Through
with their day's work, they" are turned
into a big yard, where they run and roll
as they please. They never die, or at
least the employees of the street rail
ways never hear of their dying. When
they approach that period of life they
are sold or sent off to the farm, where
they may still le of some use.
They are aged before that time comes,
however. There are, for instance, little
rat mules as much as 20 or 25 years old
stilf in service here, and some which
have been in the service twelve and
fifteen years. And still they are, to all
appearances, good for several years yet.
They are as strong and active as ever,
apparently, and will likely a year from
now start in for a second life on a south
ern plantation.- This is a long time for
an animal to tramp over granite and
other kinds of paying, through mud and
in all kinds of weather, but the limit
has seemingly never been reached with
thi3 hardy little fellow.- He might be
subjected to twice as much, possibly, and
still not fall under it. -
Iu addition to performing service
equal to that of the horse or the large
mule, the little rat mule is 'one of the
easiest animals known in the care re
quired. It might, in fact, be said that
he really does not require any care. - He
flourishes best when allowed to rough it.
He is, of course, fed grain and hay, but
he is not in the least f astidious about his
food, as is the horse, and, in. the absence
of anything else would probably manage
to live on old boot legs. He likes noth
ing better than to run to -fodder and
cheap food. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
