He oams Back.

Governor Duval, of Florida, was
the son of poor virglnian, stern,
strong, taciturn man. The boy was
huge youth of fifteen. At the cab
in fire at bed time, according to the
custom of putting on back log, the
old man said, between the whiffs of
his silent pipe:
''Tab, 60 out and bring in that
gum back log, and put it on the
fire."
Tab went out and surveyed the
log. He knew it was no use in ex-
planning that it was too heavy, nor
prudent for him to return without
it on his shoulder. His little sister
was passing, not surprised that he
asked her TO bring out the gun and
powder horn, as pOssum or coon
might have passed, or the brother
might have seen bear signs. She
brought the gun and Tab started.
He found the way through the
woods into Kentucky in 1871. Af-
ter an absence of eighteen years he
was elected to Congress. A man of
immense size and strength, he start
ed for Washington, going by the
way of his old home, to see the
folks who had long since given him
up for dead. Entering the little
cabin door near bed time, he saw the
identical gum log. He shouldered
it, pulled the latch string, and with
his load stood before the old man,
pipe in mouth, as quiet as usual.
"Hsre's the gum back log, father" "
"Well you've been long time get
ting it-put it on the fire and go to
bed," was the reply.

The Reconciliation ofOonkling and Blaine

The two foes-foss only in name
stood near enough 10 each other
one day, when the ponderous and
OleaginOus Senator David Davis ap-
preached them, put a pudgy arm
around each, drew them together, and
said: "0h, why should the spirit of
mortal be proud?'' "Why, indeed?'
said Blaine, the manly tears coursing
down bis cheeks. "Have you a
strawberry mark on your left elbow?''
asked Conkliug, in bis deepest bass
notes. 81 have l have" cried Il 9

ed with rapture, while Senator David
Davis, his voice husky with emotion,
hoarsely whispered, "Blesh you, Blesh

dissolved in tears at the sight. Cor

which he was picking his teeth, and

A new Pompeii has been discov-

laid bare, the houses being twenty
feet below the surface. A temple

without capitals, and finally, a ne

measures to continue the excavation

..THE MOTHER oF rae REaIMENT. },
How Mrs Hayes Earned the Title, and
What Her Boys Gave Her
In Remembrance.
From the Cleveland Herald.


Referring to the silver plate given
by the Twenty-third Regiment, O.V.
L, to Mrs. HAYES on the occasion of
her silver wedding, December Slst, l
have seen several descriptions of the
testimonial, and of the circumstances
which led TO its presentation, all of
which are more or less inaccurate.
The winter of 1923 Mrs. HAYES
spent with her husband, then Lieu
tenant Colonel, at Kanawba Falls.
W. Va. After the battle of South
Mountain, where Colonel Hayes was
severely wounded, she came to Mid
dletOn, Nd, apprehending the worst,
owing TO the carelessness of a teie-
graph operator III not forwarding the
dispatch sent by Colonel Hayes, APP
prising her of the extent of his
wound and where he was being treat
ed. She sought for him a whole
week in the hospitals of Baltimore
and Washington, and there learned
through wounded soldiers of the reg
iment of her husbands whereabouts
and condition, she ran the blockade
against ladies aud reached Middle
town, the sole woman from beyond
the lines in all that army of mained
and dying. 1t was during 1s62-63,
at the places named, and after the
battles of South Mountain and Antie-
tam, that she so endeared herself to
her husbands command; for her
many motherly acJs and kindly
words she was given the affectiOnate
title of sMother of the Regiment" "
which she has since borne, and will
bear while a member of the gallant
old regiment survives, and their chill
dren will call her "graudmama," and
bless her in the name of the silent
SCARED.
The testimonial is a silver plate,
about FIVE by seven inches. At the
top and bottom are vignettes of the
regimental battle-fag, and of the log
cabin in which Mrs Hayes spent the
winter of 1923 at Kanswha Falls
the former at the top and the lat
ter at the bottom. Between these
two is the following inscription:
TO THE MOTHER OF OURS"
From the TsOenty-taird o. =. T.
To thee our mother on the silver '-troth."
We bring this token of our love. Thy boys"
Give greeting unto thee with brimming
hearts.
Take 1t; for it is made of beaten coin,
Drawn from the boarded treasures of thy
speech, t.r.i 4
Kind words and gentle, when gentle word
Was worth the surgery ofan hundred schools
To heal sick thoughts and make our bruises
whole .4s
Take it our mother tits but some small part
0fthy rare bounty we give back to thee
And while love speaks in silver from our
Wen bribe e. old Father Time to spare his gift.
The plate, on a ground of maroon
velvet, is handsomely framed in eb-
ony, delicately carved and enameled.
LIE tOah ensemble is rich and chaste
in the highest degree. In the light
of all the circumstances, it is very
touching and appropriate expression
of affection by her well-remembered
''boys" to their loved and honored
smother"

Its ingredients are so skilfully

it is SO mild as to be harmless even

OLD SALARIES.

OF late years the great English law lords
have left very moderate fortunes. Their
palmy days were from 100 to 1880 when
tha Chancellorship was o. en- worth from
fees e20,000 year, at a time when the
purchasing power of money was nearly
double what it is to-day; when the salary
is $1,000 Besides, they had extraordi-
nary opportunities Of enriching their farni-
lies by patent places" and patronage.
Thus, Lord Thu-low gave to one of his
nephews (who died only two years ago)
sinecures worth $4,000 a year, and got
for his brother the bishopric of Durham,
worth $125, 1000 q year. George III. de-
INJURED at this last, saying that he would
be happy to give anything else, but the
bishopric of Durham had always been
bestowed on a man of rank and family.
Then, SIR" said Thurlow, II ask it for
the brother of the Lord High Chancellor
of England" The King gave in. What
change since then When ex-Chancellor
Chelmsford appointed his son-in-law
Master in Lunacy at $1o,0 year there
was such howl, because the gentleman
was not actually practising barrister,
that he had to rescind the appointment.

A MECHANICAL CURIOSITY.

A monk of the Benedictine monastery at
Raigern, between Brunn and Vienna, has
completed mechanical curiosity in the
shape of self-moving terrestrial globe,
IA meters in diameter. A combination of
wheels gives it a motion similar to that OF
the earth, and when once set going it will
revolve for three weeks. At the north
pole of the axis are dial plates, on which
the days, months, etc., are indicated, and
over these is smaller globe, by means of
of which the motion Of planet round the
sun is exhibited. The larger globe sets the
smaller one in motion by the agency Of
twelve wheels. The construction Of the
mechanism took more than ten years pa
tient application, and was only completed
after numerous experiments. As regards
geographical details, the map on the globe
is carefully drawn, and shows all the latest
discoveries. The steamer routes, railway
and telegraph lines, the heights Of noun
tains, and the depths of the ocean are
all distinctly shown. The maker Of the
globe is self taught mechanic and artist,
who, during the past thirty years, has
adorned the monastery with numerous ex-
amples of his skill and ingenuity.

AN INDIAN PET'.

a native gentleman once presented me
with black gibbon, (Hylobates ugilis,)
called by the natives from its yen, Hookoo
or Hoolook. Its tremendous teeth and
unearthly yell impressed me unfavorably,
and kept it in confinement, much against
my win, as it always seemed SO gentle.
The poor brute soon died. Some time
after, when staying with q dear and
congenial friend at Aipore, near Calcutta,
became acquainted with second gibbon,
which was quite tame, ana allowed to be at
large. We at once exchanged condolences,
and the poor creatures loving affection for
me became quite overpowering. So thor
oughly did 1 trust it, that allowed my boy
of three years ofage to play with her, and
the way the two rolled over on the turf was
most amusing to behold. The agility of
the animal was simply marvellous. have
seen it go round the large house hanging
by its finger tips to the cornice beading
which went round To run up the rain
pipes was as easy to it as ladder would be
to man; in fact, it could go anywhere
and everywhere, and so often vexed
us by its depredations. It found out
where my boys milk was kept, and
helped itself in this strange fashion:
Its great length of arm prevented it from
drinking direct from the vessel, as monkeys
do, the arms always Intervening between
the vessel and the animals mouth; SO she
was obliged to sit at'some distance from the
vessel and scoop out its contents with her
fingers, letting the milk drop from them
into her mouth. She did not drink from
the followed hand, but let Che fingers drip
the liquid into the mouth. One day the
gibbon had annoyed my friend by eating
some of his papers, and in the afternoon we
were conversing together in his study,
when suddenly it appeared, and sided up
tome. With a half-angry laugh, my friend
made a gesture asif to throw book at it,
and exclaimed "Get out, you mischievous
brute" She accordingly got out, in her
silent mysterious manner, and we went on
talking. We then adjourned to the roof
for q view, and drew my friends .atten-
ton to the gibbon, which was timidly STIR
veying us from behind distant chimney.
Playfully shaking his fist at her, we walked
together to the opposite end of the roof
and leaned over the parapet. Presently I
saw the gibbon stealing quietly toward US
along the parapet AS soon as she saw that
she was observed, she boldly ran up to me,
threw her long arms around me, and nestled
into my breast. Gould Iresist such an appeal
for forgiveness and protection? We were
both much touched by it, and winked at
many Of her subsequent misdoings. .-Ctam-

MAKING "A PaUqE DOCTOR.

ANevada paper says: 'eIt has been a
question unsolved by many how the doc
tors of the tribes of Indians got their sheep
skins. We have of late heard of several
executions for inability to bring about a
cure among the Piutes, and now we have
the particulars at hand of how they elect a
successor in case of the death of medicine
man or woman. Al the adult members of
the tribe are called together; white round
stone is provided for each and all except
one, and that is black one; these are all
put in sack together and passed around,
each hand drawing out pebble. The zone
drawing the black stone is thereafter to act
as medicine man or woman, as the case
may be, for men and women have to take
their chances of drawing. The DOCTOR
elect then must qualify himself as best he
can-the more the better--for he will have
longer lease of life, because, on the death
of third patient, he is put to death in
summary manner. Sometimes shot, again
stoned TO death, and at others burned"

CUP OF COLD WATER,

Many long years ago young English
woman was sent to France to be educated
in Huguenot school in Paris. A few
evenings before the fatal Massacre Of st.
Bartholomew Day, she and some Of her
young companions were taking walk in a
part of the town where there were sentinels
placed-and you know that when soldier
is on guard he must not leave his post
until relieved-that is, until another SOL
dier comes to take his place. One of the
soldiers, as the young ladies passed him,
besought them to have the kindness to bring
him some water to drink, adding that he
was very i'll, and it would be as much as his
life was worth to go and fetch it himself.
The ladies walked OH, much offended at the
man for presuming to speak to them-all
but the young English woman, whose COM
passion was excited, and who, at once
leaving her party, secured some water and
brought it to the soldier. He begged her
to tell him her name and place of abode,
which she did. When she rejoined her
companions, some blamed and others ridi-
culed her attentions to common soldier;
but they soon had reason to lament that
they had not been as compassionate; for
the grateful soldier contrived, on the night
of the massacre, to save this young Eng
lish woman, while all the rest of the in
habitants of the house in which she dwelt
were killed.
