clares that President Hayes has no title

A Nicksburg lady when the plague
broke out went In indianapolis. She
had son thirteen years of age, in
Dubuque, Iowa, who hearing of her
departure, was seized with an intense
desire to see her. The friends with
whom he lived decided at last that it
was not best that he should 60, and
his disappointment grew more bitter
every day. Finally he resolved TO see
his mother, cost what it might, and,
putting on the shabbiest suit ofclothes
he had, taking no baggage and no
money, he started to make the jour.
ney on foot. He begged his food ut
farmhouses, slept in harms, and caught
a ride in farmers wagon now and

miles, and, having before been in In
dianapolis, found the house of his un.
Gle in which his mother was, without
help from any one. There was joy
unspeakable at the meeting. He told
his mother he had put on ragged
clothes because he thought people
would then believe he was a tramp
and would help him; while, had he
been well-dr"ssod, he might have been
taken for an impostor.
