CONQUERING AN OBSTACLE.'
fjaar Ooe Boy Who IVaa Small Sneeeeda'
In life In Hplte of III Oafec.
Tom Pippf t wiu always a little fol
low; so small that when lie was In the
senior ehv In college the smallest boy
in the preparatory school "looked
down" bpon Win In a literal sense.
Every boy who bin himself a physical
defeat can understand how mighty a
matter this lack of size had seemed to
Torn. For some years of his life it was
to Wm the most important thing in the
world. There were snch groat deeds
to be done, and he felt that he could
do them, only he etood but five feet
In his boots!
It wu hopeless to try to bo a hero!
Bin name, too, was unfortunate. The
boys changed it to 1'oppct, to Pipes, to
ripkln, to Pint. It was easy to be witty
at the expenso of the little follow.
One day an old professor, swing him
ilirlnk at some gibe, said to him : "Tom,
there I a somrtliing within you with
which your littlo body ban nothing to
do. Show that to the world. Ignore
and disregard your size and you will
teach others to ignore and disregard it."
Tliis kindly word was the pebble
wWch turned the stream of Tom's life
into a new channel. He had thus far
lolled from very despair to try to make
something of himself; he now began to
study vigorously. Ho was a born ora
tor and his voice wm fine. The class
soon began to bo proud of bim and to
boast of his slse as another reason for
their approval of him. When his small
figure appeared upon the platform on
commencement day, the storm of ap
proval which greeted him was due as
much to his triumph over this physical
tWect as to the actual work which he
hod done.
At the bar In the town in which Tom
practised as a lawyer ho was known as
"Little Webster, " so accurate was his
knowledge and so effective his elo
quenoo. The civil war began, and Tom, with
thousands of other slncore men north
and south, runhed to the battlefield.
Ills men followed their littlo captain as
eonfldontly as though he had been
even feet high. Ho was badly wound
ed at Chnrieellorsville and sent to a
hospital, whence ho was discharged mi
nus a port of two limbs, He had been
engaged to a woman whom he had
loved for years.
' "Tell her that sho Is free," he sold to
her father, who camo to see him, add
ing, with a snd sinilo, "There never
was much of me, but now I am only
the wreck of a man."
She wrote back, "if there Is enough
body left to hold his soul I will marry
hlm.M
They wero married, ond Tom became
a useful citizen in tlio community In
which he lived, lit) acquired influence
and prox'rty, nnd used both to noble
Snrpose. When the great disaster at
ohnstown occurred, Tie hastened to
fllie place mid worked among the home
less, stnrvlii',' people, surroiuidod by
thousands of unbiiried dead. Ho went
home worn out by lalxr, and died,
strong, bright, cheery to the last.
Is thero nothing In this truo story of
a true life to help thoso who have some
bodily defect which seems a hopelsi
obstacle In their path? Youth's Com
panlon.

The most remarkable conjuring trick
I ever saw was done in Calcutta by an
Arabian. Spreading a white cloth on
the floor he sat down with his bock to
the wall, and, turning to a member of
the party, ho asked for the loan of a
rupee, which ho requested should be
given to one of tho Indies present. This
done, the conjurer told the lady to hand
it back to tho gentleman from whom
lie had taken it The gentleman took
It, and then the conjurer said to him,
"Are you sure that it is a rupee f
"lies," replied the gentleman.
"Now close your hand upon it," said
the Arabian, "and think without speak
ing of some country in America. Now
open your luuid and tell mo if the coin
is not one of tho country you thought
of." The gentleman opened his hand
and found a Mexican dollar. He said
Uiat ho had been thinking of Mexico.
He was about to give the coin to the
onjurer when the latter declined It,
requesting himto give it to another one
of the party. He gave it to me. 1
looked at it closely, shut my hand
tight, thought of Franco, and found it
had turned into a five frano piece.
"How do you suppose that was
doner
. "I really can't tell," was the reply.
"I wish I knew." Interview in New

They Stole a Freshman.
A dispatch from Ann Arbor, Mich.
says: The city is thoroughly excited
over aa abdnction that took place last
night Frank J. Evans is president of
the freshman class and toast master at
tbe clua banquet which took place to
night Last night he was missed from
his accustomed haunts, and inquiry de
veloped the fact that five men hod seised
him on the street and hustled him into a
hack, driving rapidly away. Meetings
were called, and searching parties were
organized and sent in every direction.
One party traced him to Mooreland, six
teen miles from Ann Arbor, where, with
the marshal and police force of Saline,
they found the party lodged in a hotel
They formed a cordon about the house
and demanded his release. The party
refused, and the Salin marshal threat
ened to charge the hotel with his party,
numbering thirty-two mea Then Evans
was given up. It was found that the ab
ductors were five sophomores, who had
rnn away with Evans in the hope of
breaking np the freshmen event When
they reached Mooreland with Evans
they had put him to bed and hid his
clothing. It waa 4 o'clock thi. morning
before the party having him in charge
returned to the university, and some of
the boys did not get in until noon. A
crowd of twenty freshmen have acted as
hi body guard all day, and the banquet
cam off to-night a advertised. Th
faculty will take action, a the the ab
ductors are all known.

To Aid Ills Memory.
Herr Lehman had a very short mem

radway carriage at an intervening sta

able to remember the number of hk

an intelligent traveling business nan
who sat opposite to him in the coupe.
In sympathy his fellow traveler gan
him a clew by which he might remem
ber. "You must remember the num
