oH1LpREN IN sLAvERY.

Another shocking instance of the
cruelty of the "padrone" system
among Italian children in this coun-
try has Just come to light. A po-
liceman, in the pouring rain of last
Sunday night, found poor little
fellow lying exposed on a stoop.-
The officers questions brought o ut
the fact that the lad was the slave of
an Italian task-master, who profess
ed to be the step-father of this waif
and two other children. The boys
father and mother were dead, and
he and his brother and sister were
compelled to drudge and black boots
in the streets for their master. Fif-
ty cents a day seems to have been
the sum fixed for the poor child's
gains, and as he had secured but
twenty cents, he did not dare to 90
back to his task-master. He was al
ready sore with wounds from pre-
vious beatings, as the officer could
see for himself. The boys story has
been practically substantiated by in.
vestigation, and the 'padrone" has
been arrested.
In the course of the examination
of the man charged with cruelty to-
ward the infant acrobat, "Prince
Leo" several surprising and suggest
i've facts were brought out. This
man Leonard, alias Husband, testi-
fed that he came .into:possession of
the boy by means of an advertise

MOUNT TABOR.
By JOHN HAY.

On Tabor's height a glory came,
And. shrined in clouds of lambent flame.
The awe-struek, hushed disciples saw
Christ and the prophets of the law;
Moses, whose grand and awful face
Of Sinai's thunder bore the trace,
And wise Elias, in whose eyes
The shane of Israel's prophecies
Stood in that vast mysterious light
Than Syrian moons more purely bright,
One on each hand-and high between
Shone forth the God-like Nazarene.
They bowed their heads in holy fright,
No mortal eyes could hear the sight,
And when they looked again, behold!
The fiery cloud had backward rolled,
And borne aloft in grandeur lonely,
Nothing was left, ''save Jesus only"
Resplendent type of things to be-
We read its mystery to-day
With clearer eyes than even they,
The fisher-saints of Galilee.
We see the Christ stand out between
The ancient law and faith serene,
Spirit and letter-bUt above
Spirit and letter both was Love.
Led by the hand of Jacobs God
Through wastes of old path was trod
By which the savage world could move
Upward through law and faith to love.
And there is Tabor's harmless flame.
The crowning revelation came,
The old world knelt in homage due,
The prophets near in reverence drew,
Law ceased its mission to fulfill
And Love was Lord on Tabor's hill.
So now, while ereeds perplex the mind
And wranglings load the weary wind,
When all the air is filled with words
And texts that ring like clashing swords,
Still, as for refuge, we may turn
Where Tabor's shining glories burn
The soul of antique Israel gone
And nothing left but Christ alone.

VIM. Lewis, Iowa, was one of the
first white men who venJured into
that part of the Stat e, thirtyfYe
years ago. He was known to nearly
every pioneer of the Missouri slope,
and was as brave as he WIS gener-
GUS. During the rebellion he fought
for the Union, and, in ''Harper's
Magazine" for 1873, an incident is
related of which he was the hero: A
Missouri river steamer, floating the
rebel flag, was passing, when an
order was given by Lewis for her to
lie to. 1t was not needed, when he,
in laundering tones, from behind
masked battery, ordered the boys TO
elbow the old she'll out of the water.
At the same time large black muz-
zle was run out through the brush.
The Captain, not liking the appear
ance of the ordnance, hove to and
surrendered. What was his surprise
to find the twelve-pounder a piece
of stove-pibe, manned by a couple
of boys ten wears old.

A QUEER SUIT. was tried in
the City Court of Baltimore, Mon
day, on appeal. Mrs Ruth LangVnLe,
by her next friend, John Langville,
sude Morris Weglein for S22.
She testified that her husband being
i'll, and as she supposed, about to
die, she desired TO provide him a
nice suit of clothes to be buried in,
and purchased cloth for the pupose
from Mr.. Wegiein, for which she
paid $22 she was not satisfied with
the purchase when she got the goods
home, and she returned them, de-
manding the money back Her
husband, having recovered, brought
the suit for her as next friend, in
stead of wearing the nice suit of
grave-clothes bought by his wife.
Judge Brown gave Judgment in
her favor for the $22.

had origin in the memorable Presiden.
tial canvass of 1910, between Harrison
and Tyler, the Whig candidate for Presl.

for those Offices. In the summe: OF that
year special election for some purpose
was held in one Of the Indiana counties,
A Democrat. not acquainted with MIR,
Chapman, the then editor o. the Indian

wrote letter to a friend in..lndianapOlis,
in which he advised him to state the re-

You must not urge me Charley, for
cannot throw away money on fellows

Jealousy aad Revenge.

A singular story Of jealousy and res
yenge comes to us from Sicily. A beau
aful young girl named FIorina, who was
the belle OF a travelling circus, in which
she figured as the lion tamer, had been
ior sou,c time receiving the attention OF
IN athlete belonging to the same troupe.
By some means she ascertainei that he
was not faithful to her. but had another
lady love. No signs, however, OF her
painful discovery were allowed TO escape.
She sti smiled sweetly upon him, re.
,ponded coldly to his ardent caresses. In
her own bosom she planned Aterrible
revenge. 0ne evening recently when the
performance had been unusually brilliant
-.aftel Floripa had whipped the lions aud
forced them to lie at her feet, she called
her recteant lover aside aud said to him /:
DO you still love me2" always he
answered" Do you know that | should
die il yon should devote yourself to
another woman ?" "what an idea! !" re,
spOuded the young man. but ahould
6rst kill you, said Florina. Aud how
would sou do tbat?" THUS >" cried the
girl, at the same instant pushing him vio>
lcntly into the cage of the lions. They
attacked The unfortunate man at once and
tore him to pieces, while Florina urged
them on with blows Of her whip.
