THE POPCORN BOY.
A Business Reversal Unheralded
by Dun or Bradstreet.
The financial streRs from which the
country is now emerg-inff has left its
wrecks in the industrial and commer
cial centers. When the stringency was
most severe the daily press reported
how this prominent bank had closed
its doors, that well known mercantile
house had pone to pieces and this ex
tensive manufactory had shut down.
But there were many minor tragedies
in this distressing1 period stories of
destitution and dismay that were full
of desolate surnificaoce to individual
lives, even though they gave the com
mercial world no thrill of alarm. This
is the story of one of these unreported
"failures," the details of which ap
pealed to the writer with pathetic in
terest. A slight and shriveled figure of me
mium height his growth seeming to
have been arrested before ho attained
his natural stature with thin and rue
ful features, and eyes under a project
ing forehead, and the ghost of a beard
at the chin. This was "Walter the
popcorn boy," as travelers over the old
road of the Lake Shore have seen him
times without number at the station
iu a southern Michigan village, search
ing the car windows with a wistful
gaze for prospective patrons. So many
years has ho been attendant upon the
arrival of the clay trains that his queer
and homely figure, one shoulder borne
down below the other by t he weight of
the painted box he carried, suspended
by a strap and steadied with his long,
restless hands, had become as much of
a fixture as the sign board that swung
under the eaves of the little passenger
house. Every arrival of a train meant
more or less raising of windows and
the exchange of nickels and pennies
for the plump sacks and the Michigan
fruit. AU the trainmen were good
patrons of the faithful vender, but it
is difficult to tell which they sought
the most the corn and apples they
munched or the privilege of seeing the
happiness their purchases gave Walter,
particularly when the extent of busi
ness made it necessary for him to hur
ry home and stock up again. It was
plain that the vender's soul was in his
humble trado. You could tell that by
th gleam of joy that cuine Into the
usually plaintive face when trade wa
brisk at the trains or aoiue liberal pas
senger threw out a nickel or dime for
an apple or a bag of corn with the
cheery instructions to "never mind the
chunge.
. The big railway corporation, usually
Tory conservative about granting con
cessions, allowod Walter to ply his
trade at the trains out of a svtitimoiit
of loyalty (also a rare trait in ruilwuy
corporations) to his (leeeiiM'il father
a bright, capable man who worked
himself to deutli In the employ of the
road. Walter did not Inherit his fa
ther'e unclouded mentality, but lie
recognized the n-oponsiliility put uin
ins you tli l ii I Mioulilers by the removal
of the breadwinner of the family and
at oiiro took up this line of effort to
which his taste Inclined and which was
happily within the limited rantfc of his

Highest of all in Leavening Power
me. Jiivenmgs touna mm always at. 1
home, and on fcmnday it was his pride
to have a humble part to perform iu
the church work and a post of duty in
the Sunday school library which he
discharged with greatest zeal and tol
erated no usurping of his place by
others.
Thus the monotonous tenor of Wal
ter the popcorn boy's life went on till
the fall of 1894, when the baneful in
fluence of the panic first became ap
parent in the village. No matter how
banks might tremble and fall and
capital take alarm, no one would thiuk
that the sale of popcorn and apples
would be altected. But they were, for
at length Walter was heard bemoaning
the let-up in trade. Perhaps there
was not such a serious slump in his
line, after all, and he had simply
caught the calamity note from other
it is so quick to spread. Anyway,
the popcorn boy's face grew more de
spairing, his tones more mournful.
Often he was Been shivering in the
chill air and making figures with a
stub of a pencil in the pocket ledger.
He was making comparisons with
sales the day before, the week before
and a year back. He had heard some
of the merchants tell how their trade
had fallen oft. The comparisons were
not encouraging.
"Oh, it'a dreadful," he would be
heard to wail often and again.
"What's the matter, Walter?" one of
the boys would ask.
"My trade's falling off like every
thing," was his rueful answer. "These
hard times will ruin me."
He was really In despair. The calam
ity contagion had hold of him. The
business aspect was as acrloua to hlin
aa to the man of millions. His receipts
for years had never fallen tielow a cer
tain average To his dismay the boast
he had always made would not again
untrue, ii was seen that the worry
was telling on him. Is ever strong
looking, ho began to look paler and
thinner.
"Oh, eheer up, Walter!" some con
siderate bywtander would aay. "You'll
come out all right."
It was no une. "The figure speak
for themselves," he suld as he produced
the little book all filled with rude pen
ciling. "I'm falling behind I know
I am." Muny merchants sitting In
their offices In sixteen-story building
could sympathize with him.
Wulter, the pocorn loy, waa Incon
solable. It was common remark that
ho was getting worse. Each day
seemed to mid t hi burden of despair.

of anything diifcrent was too much for
him.

It was just before tho fast mail from

lie did not take Into consideration
that home and health ami a good liv
ing were certainties with him what
ever might happen. He thought only
of his lire-work -the thing that had
commanded all hi limn, all his ener
gies. "If I ilon t do well with No. In I
shall give up!"
Two of tin. iy, touched by the ton
of despair, tried to cheer hi III up by
buying half a do ten aack of c.rn
apiece. He brightened up a moment
a he sh'M.k some salt on the corn and
handed It out, and then relapsed again

It is sweet to think the answer hae

DEERHUNT AT NIGHT.
llow Sportsmen In the Adirondack yuar
ry Their Game.
Long lake is one of the best feeding
grounds for deer in the Adirondauks,
growing as it does a kind of spice weed
and cranberry, of which the deer is
very fond. The process involved in
bunting deer, says an eastern- ex
chance, is very curious and interesting;
in the guide's own words, "one must
know the natur' of the animal to suc
ceed." It is the custom of this animal
to browse on its way down to the water
at night for drink, and the slight crash
made in coming through the brush be
trays them to the guide, who, with his
companion seated in a boat, is slowly
and noiselessly paddling close to shore,
and nearer and nearer to the locality
from whence the sound comes. Al
though there are many other ibises
abroad on tho night air none can mis
take this particular one. The guide
holds his breath or emits it in quick
gasps. Absolute silence on the part of
the inmates of the . boat prevails.
The night wind blows softly The
stars are reflected in the still water.
The air is heavy with the fragrance
from woods, flowers and trees. The
boat drifts or Is propelled so gently
that it Is calculated to deceive one's
own senses as to bother, after all, It
is not all a drca u. The occasional
sound of the paddle sounds like the
ripple of water or the lapping of the
waves against the hhore, when sudden
ly another and unmistakable crash Is
heard close at hantj. The cap is off the
jack lantern, insti'.ntly a search-light
is thrown over the luke and adjaoent
wooded shore. Two bright eyes are
iceii, a terrified whistling I beard, and
the deer starts to t in, but it is too late;
a whir, and bung und a lino four-year-old
buck falls to the ground. The
tense straining of every muscle and
nerve Is relieved and followed by the
wildest excitement and commotion as
the boat Is hastily paddled to shore.
NATURE'S FREAKS.
The Devil's Pump In California and Me
Mweeney't liun In Ireland.
One of tho greatest combinations of
natural ar.d artificial curiosities on the
coast of California Is culled the Devil's
1'iiinp. Tin; phobia, or shell miners,
specie of molltisk which excavate im
mense cavern in the very hardest
stone, have tunneled tho entire coast
In tho vicinity of the pump. Water
rushes Into theso cavern with each
succeeding tide flow, and in this partic
ular case lind vent through a cylindri
cal oeniiig a. une distuuee from the
water edge. It I estimated that this
hole, hlch connect with the aea cat
t-rn, la sevcnty-flve to one hundred feet
In depth. Lvery lime the tide rushes
Into the covern beneath, the pump"
throw water to the height of full one
hundred feet shove the mouth of the
oM-iiing. The Indian formerly called
It by a n.iie. which signified "fairy
water gun," but the Irreverent white
men have given It the title of the "Dee
II Pump. ' and by that name It will tm
probably kno'-n lo future generation.
There I a similar curiosit y near Horn
Head, county iMicgml, Ireland, where
a hole In the r k I eelled "McHwecn

the north wind blow and the I at

the cavern and -nd up Immense col
