An Allegorical Tale of Two Small a l'uUtllng and Soma l'hlloiopliy. A wide and deep philosophy lies in this true little story: A few days ago Borne children were eating dinner at the house of a friend, who gave them rice pudding for desert rice pudding with raisins in it Now, one of these little boys didn't love rice, but did love raisins, and being a conscientious and well-trained youngster, with a prudence that he had no business with, considering his years, he first ate carefully all the pudding, saving all the plums and making of them a circle around the rim of his plate. When he had paid penance for the pudding he meant to reward himself by eating all the raisins. Opposite to him sat another little boy who had the same decided preference for raisins over rice. But this little boy wasn't prudent, he was only a boy, the promptings of whose stomach were better than those of his brain.

And the first thing he did was to eat up all his plums. That being done it suddenly occurred to him that there was nothing left for him to live for. So he lifted up his voice and wept aloud. And when the kind-hearted hostess said: "Why, Davy, what are you crying for?" he howled: "I ain't got any more raisins." Then the good lady glanced 'down at the plate of the other little boy who sat at her side, and said: "Well, here is a little boy who doesn't like raisins and who has put every one of his aside, and if you won't cry you shall have every one of his raisins." And the other little boy, being cowardly, as prudent people are for cowardice is what makes people prudent-said nothing, while the hostess filliped off every one of his cherished plums to the other plate. And there he had to sit, full of pudding and prudence, and see the other boy fill himself with the plums he himself had meant to eat Suppose these two little boys to be grown-up men and the plums to be the desirable things of this earth, and the pudding to be the undesirable things that come along with the desirable.

Here you have an epitome of life. You also have some suggestions, if you are wise enough to dig them out, as to the propriety of eating your plums as you come along to them. The plums are not yours till you've eaten them. Chicago News. READING ALOUD.

This company has deviated from the accustomed rule of capitalizing a mine at a ficticious value, by doing so on basis ot cost wheh is only 1-4 of its real value, thereby offering to the investor an opportunity on the same basis as original owners, who have taken all the chances, spending their own money, proving value of mine before offering stock to the public.

By this plan the company hopes to scatter the first 25,000 shares among 2000 to 5000 stockholders who will become co-operators in building the stock up to a value of per share.

What a means of unifying family interest and sympathy and taste!
