Den- j mark, 7 years old, was killed by a trolley-car at Troop and Eightienth j streets, this afternoon. Fred Bernier, [ motorman, was threatened with lynoh- | ing, for killing the boy, and was with ! great difficulty rescued from the mob of Bohemians, who, inoeused at the terrible aocident, surrounded the car and dragged Bernier from the plat- ¡form, determined to hang him. Patriok [ Hanley, the conductor, managed to save Bernier from the mob, and then a | riot call was s«ut to the Maxwell street station. The police took charge of the motorman and conductor and locked j them up. After the boy had been killed, Motor- j man Bernier took refuge in the car, | which stood within a few feet of where the aocident occurred, and in an in- staut it was beseiged by angry men. | He attempted to keep them out by latching the doors on the inside, but they broke the doors in, knooked him down and kioked and beat him for a [ few moments in a shocking manner. He managed, however, to get away from them, and ran to the door of the drugstore, where he was handed a pis tol, and was admitted inside by Mr. Kvitek, the proprietor, before any further barm befell him. The crowd I surged around the store and yelled: | “ Break it in! K ill him!“ j It looked for a minute as if the store I would be raided, but Mr. Kvitek had ' made use of the telephone.

The judgment now amounts to about $10,000. Superintendent Barnett, of the St. Louis mine, was in Everett the other day from Silverton. He brought down five pack horses, and had to make them swim the Stillaguamish river three times. It waa a perilous undertaking, for the stream was high and swift.

There was a wild bird singing in a bush there, and as he trotted down the slope it hushed its wanderiug tune. Nick took the sound up softly, and stood by the wet stones a little while, imitating the bird's trilling note, and laughing to hear It answer timidly, as If It took him for some great new bird without wings. Cocking its shy head, nnd watching him shrewdly with Its beady eye. It sat almost persuaded that it was ouly size which made them dif ferent, uutll Nick clapped bis cap u|>on bis head aud strolled back, slug- ing as be went. It was only the thread of an old- fasliloued madrigal which he had often heard his mother sing, with quaint words long since gone out of style and hardly to be understood, and be tween the staves a warbling, word less refrain which he had learned ont on the bills nnd In the fields, picked up from a bird's glad-throated morning song He had always sung the plain-tunes In church without taking any partic ular thought about It; and sang easily, with a clear, young voice which had a full, flute-like note In it like the high, sweet song of a thrush singing iu deep woods. Gason Carew, the master-player, was sitting with his back against an oak, placidly munching the last of the cheese, when Nick began to sing. He started, straightening up as If some one had called him suddenly out of a sound sleep, and turning his head, lis tened eagerly. Nick mocked the wild bird, called again with a mellow, warbling trill, aud then struck up the quaint old madrigal with the bird's song run ning through it. Carew leaped to Ills feet, with a Hash In his dark eyes. "M y soul! My soul!” he exclaimed In au excited undertone. “ It Is not—nay, It cannot lie— why, ’tls—it Is the boy! Upon my heart, he hath a skylark pris oned In Ins throat! Well sung, well sung. Master Skylark!” he cried, clap ping Ills hands In real delight, ns Nick came singing up the bank. “ Why, lad. I vow I thought thou wert up in the sky somewhere, with wings to thy back! Where didst thou learn that wonder-song?” Nlek colored up, quite taken aback. “I do na know, sir,” said he; “ mother learned me part, and the rest just came, I think, sir.” The master-player, his whole face alive and eager, now stared at Nicho las Atwood as tlx'dly as Nick had stared at him. It was a hearty little English lad he saw. about 11 years of age, tall, sleu- der, trimly built, and fair. A gray cloth cap clung to the side of his curly yellow head, and he wore a sleeveless Jerkin of dark-blue serge, gray home- spun hose, and heelless shoes of rus set leather. The white sleeves of his linen shirt were open to the elbow, and his arms were lithe and brown. His eye were frankly clear and blue, and his red mouth had a trick of smiling that went straight to a body's heart. “ Why, lad. lad,” cried Carew breath lessly, "thou hast a very fortune In thy throat!” —S t Nicholas.

There Is no suf fering like tbe c r uclflxlou o f love. Nothing Is so destructible a s the peace of Christ. The fears we borrow are the hardest to drive away. Whenever the flesh is on the throne, the devil Is king. Unless you want to be poor, don't try to keep all you get. The man will alw ays be busy who truly follows Christ. The devil has no better helper than a harmless looking lie. It Is harder to dine with some men than It Is to fast alone. / W e are rich, not In What we have, but In what we cannot lose. Is there anything the devil can't make out of an envious man? Live to do good, and you will never tire of your employment. / W hen you pray for « revival, don’t go to church with a long face. The more men disappoint us, tbe more we should have faith in God. When a little man Is lifted up, every body finds out that he Is little. The man who thinks he knows othere.

It Is a mistake to call anything suc cess that Is not according to God's plan. I f you knew that to-morrow would be your last day, how would you spend this? There nre somp very Important let- sons which can only be learned from a mistake. It is doubtful If there Is any man who has not at some time In Ills life been a hypocrite. / The man who has lived only for him self has wasted his time and robbed the world. There can be no true and abiding comfort and peace that Is not rooted and grounded In faith. The man who has never used his eyes to consider the mercies of God, has used them to small purpose. Turning a inad dog loose Is a trifling thing, compared to what the devil can Uo with a gossiping tongue. In the very same breath with which Jesus snlil, “Let not your heart be trou bled," he also said, "Believe.” The man who refuses to walk n th*» light as God gives It, has only himself to blame for what happens in the (lark.
