The Little Ohildren's Watches.

Y@;erday an old man entered Little
Rock store, and, taking from his pocket
an old buckskin pouch, he emptied two
coins on the counter, and then, after re-
garding the silver for few moments
said:
'.Mister, I want to buy some goods to
make dress.''
"Fhat money is mutilated, old gentle
man. This 25-cent piece has notches
filed in it, and this 50-cent piece has
been punched. You see, they have been
abused. can't take them.''
"Abused," said the old man. sAbused,"
and he took up the 50-cent piece and
looked at it tenderly. s'And you won't
take it on account of the holes? Heaven
grant that I did not have to offer it to
you. Years ago, when my first child
was little girl, 1 punched hole in this
coin and hung it around her neck. It
was her constant plaything. At night
but early at morning she would call for
her watch. When our John-you didn't
know John, did you? No? Well, he used
to come to town good deal.'
''Where is he now," asked the merchant
not knowing what to say, but desiring
to show appreciation of the old mans
story.
"He was killed in the war. say that
when John was little boy strung this
quarter around his neck. One day his
watch got out of fix, he said, and he filed
these notches in it. He and his sister
Mary-that was the girls name-used
to play in the yard, and compare their
watches to see if they were right Some
times John wouldn't like it, because
Mary's watch was bigger than his, but
she would explain that she was bigger
than him, and ought to have bigger
watch. The children grew up, but as
they had always lived in the woods, they
were not ashamed to wear their watch
es. When a young man came to see
Mary once she forgetfully looked at her
SO cents. What are you doing?' asked
the young man, and when she told him
she was looking at her watch he took it
as hint and went home. After this
she did not wear her watch in company.
Well, Mary and the young man married:
John went off in the army and got kill
ed. Mary's husband died, and about
two years ago Mary was taken sick.
When her mother and l reached her
house she was dying. Calling me to her
bed she said: Papa, lean over Ilean-
ed over, and taking something from I'M
der her pillow, she put it around my
neck and said: Papa, take care of my
watch.'" The old man looked at the
merchant. The eyes of both the men
were moist. ''Do you see that boy out
there on the wagon?'' he said ''Well
that is Mary's child. I wouldn't part
with this money, but my old wife, who
always loved ME, died this morning, and
have come to buy her shroud."
When the old man went out he carried
a bundle in one hand and the "watches"
in tho other.-Little Rock Gazette.

A telephone company met and
conquered unforeseen difficulties in
laying an underground cable on
Sunday, the Oath ult., between At
tleboro and Mansfield, Mass. The
wires were to be buried along the
line Of the railroad; but the farmers
of the region refused to loan their
horses or oxen for Sunday toll, and
the pillow was accordingly attached
by beam to a locomotive, which
did the work with rush.

Saved.

The Lewiston (Me.) Journal is responsible
for the following story: At q recent local
temperance meeting a speaker. in dwelling
upon the degradation caused by the appetite
for liquor, said he knew man who drank to
such an extent that his whole person seemed
impregnated with alcohol his lungs, even,
became SO charged with it that in blow
ing out a candle one day his breath took fire
as if it were naptha. At the conclusion of
these remarks a blear-eyed and ragged
man staggered forward from the rear of the
hall. The audience room was packed. Peo-
pie standing in the aisles made passage way
for the cropping inebriate. All present
thought another reformation was to come
and that the trembling topper was on his way
forward to sign the ironclad pledge. The
people on the stage stood ready to welcome
him gladly. The besotted and rum poisoned
appearance of the old fellow made sad and
quoting Impression on the crowd, and the
utmost silence prevailed. He pushed his
way along to the place where the last speak
er sat. With tremulous voice and swaying
body he said: my friend, (hic) want to
shake hands with you. You've saved me
(hic). [Applause from the audience]. I'll
swar to ye (hic), stranger, that I'll never
blow out another candles long as live"

Erastus w. Glover's Wife, Child and Sis
ter Left Helpless by His Death.
Yesterdays New York San says: The
Glover, the brakeman who fell from the
Washington express as it passed through
New Haven on Thursday night and was
killed, lives with her little daughter and
Miss Glover, her sister in law, in rooms on
the top floor of 231 West Fifteenth street.
Only week ago Mrs. Glover's second child
was born. 1t lived but few hours. The
news of her husbands death has utterly
Frustrated her. Miss Glover said to a San
reporter yesterday that they had been en-
tirely dependent upon her brother for sup
port. He left home at 10 o'clock on
Wednesday night, and, as he kissed his wife
good bye, said he hoped she would be up and
we'll on his return. A relative went to New
Haven yesterday morning to bring the re-
mains to this city. The funeral will proba-
bly, take place to-day.
Mr.. Glover was 26 years old. In 1878 he
went to Bishop Potter with letters of recon-
mendation from one of the assistant minis
ters of st. Johns chapel in this city, and
applied to be admitted as a candidate for holy
orders. He studied for about one year, and
then wished to begin missionary work in the
lower wards of the city. This step was not
looked upon with favor by the bishop, and
he abandoned his intention to take orders.
Some time after he left the Protestant Epis-
copal church, and was baptized by the Rev.
John @. Adams in the Berean Baptist church.
He entered the ministry, and held for short
periods several pulpits, one that of the First
Baptist church in Rockville, L. I. He
preached in Walton last summer.
Not being able to support his family by
preaching, he applied for position on the
New Haven railroad, and was made brakeman
on the Washington express. He had applied
for promotion and was to have been made a
conductor next week. State Senator Oliver
Hoyt, whom the Rev. DR.. Samson of the
Peoples Baptist church had interested In the
young man, had helped him in getting work
on the railroad.

worth so cents, with the additional advantage
of purity, or freedom from ammonia, on the

as in fact it was an advertisement of the Roy
