The little exhibition Of enthusiasm on the

arms around the old man Cases neck and
kissed him in the presence Of thousands, is
likely to carry her name down through his

little act is receiving as much notice as the
feat Of the Wisconsin horse.
There were five famous Generals at the

Of life, able il occasion should demand II to

Her Great Mistake.

At an early hour Tuesday forenoon a
boy about twelve years of age entered a
Woodward enue store hugging a big
rocking-horse in his arms, and as he
placed it ON the floor he said to one of
the clerks:
"Got that in my Christmas stocking.
guess it was bought here.h
"Yes, that was sold by us.
IAN old woman about sixty years old
bought it, didn' she?n
~ think So
"Kind o. a Notwithstanding woman
who looked as if she didn' know what
a boy wanted no more than pigs can
ily?"
~ didn't notice about that. What
the matter with the horse?n
1.-The horse is all right but the idea
of a boy as big as me fooling around
with hobby horsei Grandma must
have heen crazy. / threw out about a
dozen hints, but she was bent on getting
this horse"
"And what do you wantPn
"Want to trade it, of course
"For wha p
"Well, ! want seven-shooter re-
volver."
Don't keep 'em."
"Then want three or four pistols to
shoot real bullets g
awe have none"
"Any bowie-kniycs or slung-shots?"
"Not one.n
Amy shot-guns"
NO
"Got any cannonsP"
"None
Haven't you got nothing that'll
shoot or stab or blow up or smash
things?''
1.-The only articles we have are tin
swords and toy-engines.
"Then I'll take about six swords and
the rest in engines. guess l know
where can trade the swords for toy
pistol. and then I'll be liked tosmalSe
things lively. That just like an q
grandma. She'd go and pay four dol
lars for a thing like this when twenty
shillings would have bought pistol and
elough powder and bullets TO pepper
