Integrity Rewarded. "I wouldn't have anything to do with it, John," said Mrs 'Nye, a dainty, little, hazel -eyed woman in a plain calico gowo, w:th white linen collar and apron, looking up at her husband, who had a staunch, manly air, as he stood by the .door of their little tene- ment at the railroad terminus, holding his lantern and tin lunch pail. 'lave at your best, John; that is the only way you can have any influence over the others. Set your foot like a rock against everything like dishonesty "I tell you I have always done so, Mary, but it looks now as if I had got to wink at this thing or lose my job. The new conductor suspects that I am true blue for the company, and he will have me turned off before I know it. If I had only myself to care for I would let the job go; hut—" "Let the lob go as it is, if it comes to that," put in the wife quickly. "I did not marry you for a thief, and robbing th a company is no better than any other kind of robbery, however. the • men may excuse it on the ground of low wages and corporations having no souls. You have a soul and you have a family. I would starve, and allow the children to do the same, before I would put upon Inv table food stolen from the train, and if you allow your fellow workmen to do this without a protest from you, the Lord will not hold you blameless. There is the whistle of No. 8; good-bye," and with a kiss the.earnest-faced wife sent her husband out into the night with the parting injunction, "Remember, there • nas never been any stealing on the Knoneluck branch, and you hold the honor of the road in your keeping." "A brakeman on a night freight with the honor of the road in my keeping," he said scornfully to himself, as by the light of the lantern he made his way across the labyrinth of switch tracks and swung himself up on the little, black, smoky caboose of No. 8, called by the boys the tar bucket, it had been so long without painting. He disposed oflais lunch pail, mended the fire, and examined the lanterns to •see if they. were. all .right, _although none of these details were irr his line of duty. "If •that red light should go out on our hands, the honor of the road would go to smash by the time we meet the local at White Feather bridge," he said to himself as he proceeded to adjust the wick,—and then added in an impa- tient tone to a slim young fellow who came slouching in at the door: 'Pretty shittless housekeeping, this, yclung man; I have trimmed your lan- terns for you right along ever since this accursed plot has been brewing— and I tell you, Joe Griggs, my minor is made up. I am going to break up the scheme as far as this branch is con- cerned." "You can't do it," whined the young fellow, "It has gone too far. You've no idea what a lot of the boys have been coaxed into it, and made believe it's no harm, or it's just a frolic, or it serves the company right." "It all came through hiring that new conductor from off the Pan Handle," groaned John Nye. " He's good-look- ing and carries brass enough in his face to make an alarm hell, and a tongue that would make a good clapper. Some of the boys think it is geed eno'igh for the company, if they will keep fellows from the outside over their old faithful men, instead of promoting someone. If we report him, he will swear out a case of persecution, and say it is all on account of jealousy. Well,.if worse comes to worse, I shall ask for a bill of my time. I will not stay here and wink at the operation of a gang of thieves." "You are the first one to raise a kick," said Griggs, "I have wondered all the while why you didn't. You are older than some of the rest of us, and have been on the road longer. You are a family man, you don't drink, and the boys look up to you. I don't like the look of it myself, but I am only a tail brakeman.' "You are a man !" said John Nye, -With a strength that astonished him- self, "and so are you. and you," as the two other brakemen entered the cosy little car. "Now, while I have the op- portunity, I want to say I shall have nothing to do with robbing that poul- try car that is coming down to -night. If I can't have a green goose without stealing it, I will eat dry codfish. If we are only working on a night freight we have a duty to ourselves and our families, and it is our privilege to make the best of ourselves." Involuntarily he went on repeating his wife's words: "There's never been any thieving on the branch, and while we are here we have the honor of the road in our keeping." • "I amglad to hear you come out so strong,"said Jim Corning. "I thought it strange, you're keeping so quiet, and I'm with you. I wouldn't like to have my goad mother back East hear that her boy had turned into a thief as soon as he got out of her reach." "I reckon we can none of us get out of the reach of our mother's prayers," put in. Bob Welch. " I have been thinking that ever since this new man came whispering and insinuating around, but I didn't like to he "the first to come out against him, and I sup- pose a good many of the boys . feel the Same way. They sort of fell in with it, some of them, because they feel ugly toward the company for setting up this new man." "HMI" Said John\ Nye, "here he THE CLINTON NEW ERA THE BOOMERANG, -- comes, Remember, every man of you 1.8 to say to every man you meet on the A Terse Deseripticin of the Mak* and pee road, to -night, 'INo thieves in the tar of This Weapon. bucket.'

Of the origin of the art:148d stink there is no knowledge; one can only eon - t born with the race itself from the acoi. deutal throwing of a flat stick; for from ohildhood the black fellow shows a natural beat for throwing things, es you can see by watching him use his only other weep - one, the spear and club. The bow and arrow, so oommon in other lands, is not used, except in the extreme northern por- tion of the great island continent, where there is a mixture of the race with the Papuan of New Guinea. There is the war boomerang, hunting boomerang, and amusement boomerang. • This last is used for light hunting, such as killing ducks, cookatoos, and parrots, and is the ono that is referred to when speak- ing of the boomerang. Them sticks mea- sure from a foot and a half to three feet and a half in length, the fighting and hunting ones being the largest and heavi- est. The hardest and toughest wood is selecte4 and the form of the weapon fol- lows the grain of the wood; thus, if the crook of the rqot or limb is little or much, so is the form of the .boonierang. You will find that nearly every one is of a dif- ferent shape. In my oolleotion I have them varying from almost straight to a shape like that of the letter V. Nearly straight, curved, plain, orna- mented; some with strange carvings, and all varying aocording to different sections of the country and individual tribes, each having its own make or style, showing se- speotively rough crudeness or considerable finish, and being especially characteristic n the ends or points — all of whioh a boomerang connoisseur will distinguish at nee, and locate as to tribe and seotion.

The covered de is always against the wind, and before he open front a fire is always burning r smouldering. He does not like MC ind, and if it changes, prestel the umpy, too, is changed in a twinkling. Down in this humpy corner, underneath e pile of bark and skins, he will burrow ke a rabbit when he goes to sleep, and om the same place he will provide Wu- lf with a weapon when starting off for a unt—Harper's Young People. 0 k b p00ba a si 0 h th li fr Ete h E SNOWprap#,,soN • HEAD&SHOULDERSOVERALLOTHERS SNOWBALL WAGON CO.STGEORGEONT Tbi i one of th o best Farm Waggon. mann- facturod, naving boon on the market for 60 years, ii,i being V,21') strongly built, while at the same time adapt t ti to all kinds of work, ard is noted for its lig.itnoss of d: ttil and easy running.

I consulted the dootors, but kept sinking lower until I had given up all hope of ever being better. Happening to be in a storeione day, where medicines were sold, the proprietor noticed my weak and sickly appearance, and, after a few questions as to my health, recom- mended me to try Ayer's Pills. • I had little faith in these or any other medicine, but concluded, at last, to take his advice and try a box. Before I bad used them all, I was very much better, and two boxes cured me. I am now 80 years old; but I believe that if it had not been for Ayer's Pills, I should have been in my grave long ago.
