MAD ALL OVER.

A great big hulk of giant, hav-
ing enough whiskey aboard to make
him annoying, was hanging around
the foot of Second street the other
day and abusing everybody as they
passed. A boy finally said to him:
eff you had any sand you'd tackle
that hackman over there"
sand, sonny; why, I've got q
wagon load of it. Where's the vic
tim?"
''Under the porch there, in the
chair"
The giant walked over and crushed
"hacky's" hat over his eyes and asked
him how all the folks up Fighting
Creek were getting along, but inside
of minute and half he was the
''lickedest' man in Detroit. When
the hackman got through mopping
him the boy handed him newspaper
to wipe the blood off his nose, and
said:
"You are big enough to eat him
up"
Jess SO, sonny" replied the giant
as he tenderly nursed his nose, ''but
it don't foller that because I'm big
germ curry comb I kin swaller
one. The difference between us is
that he's in hurry to lick some one

A rooster entered q lady's house
in Marietta, Ga, the other day, and,
seeing himself reflected in a large,
handsome mirror, deemed it his
bounden duty to go for the reflected
intruder, and he forthwith threw
himself against the mirror, shattering
it all to pieces. With the breaking
of the glass his shadow disappeared
and he concluded he had demolished
his supposed antagonist. The noise
brought the good lady into the house,

The banana has come to be almost
q necessity in thousands of Northern
families to whom it was unknown a
few years ago. They are fried and
served as an entree; pies are made of
them, with delicate upper and under
crust with plenty of sugar and sug-
gestion of spice, but when sliced thin
and mixed with chopped pineapple or
with chopped oranges they are simply
delicious. At breakfast they are
served by removing the skin, cutting
the bananas in two pieces, cross-wise,
and piling them on pretty china or

will give you the true one, as Read
told it to me. James E. Murdoch

eyes; he was an actor at one of
the Cincinnati theatres at the time,
and great friend of mine. He lost
son at the battle of Missionary
Ridge-Murdoch did-and came to
get the body. The enemy occupied
the place where the boy was buried,
and the old man remained there a
guest at my headquarters He used
to ride the lines with me, and always
used the horse Rienzi, that was af-
terward called Winchester, and was
very fond of him. Things were very
exciting down there, and Murdoch
saw good deal of war. Sundays he
always read and recited poems to the
troops around headquarters, and there
was one poem of Browning's that
was always called for. It was a great
favorite with the soldiers and with
me, and we never let him off without
reciting it. 1t was "The Ride from
Ghent to Aix"-you remember it.
''Well, after the battle of Cedar
Greek, there was published in Har-
per's Weekly story of my ride from
Winchester, and picture of me on
the black horse Rienzi. Murdoch
saw it and took it up to Read, sug-
gesting that it was a good theme for
a poem. Murdoch had just seen an
officer who was there, and gave him
a description Of the affair, and Read
jumped at the idea. He shut him
self up in his room, wrote the poem
that afternoon, had his wife make a
copy, and sent it over to Murdoch's
house as soon as it was done, to see
how he liked it. Murdoch was very
much pleased, and that night read
the poem at the theatre between the
acts. So it got into the newspapers
where I first saw it,
"It is said you have the original
manuscript"
'No; I never saw it.''
''How did Read happen to paint
the picture?'
''He did it on an order from the
Union League Club, Of Philadelphia.
They sent him down to New Orleans
where I was stationed, and I sat for
him there. He was going to Rome
that Fall, and could not finish it, but
made some sketches and then com
pleted the picture at Rome. I had
no copy of the picture, but he after
ward gave me the sketches, which
I still have at my house"
"Who were with you on the ride?"
"Sandy Forsyth and Col O'Keefe,
of my staff. Forsyth is down in New
Mexico now, Lieutenant-C Colonel OF

killed at the battle Of Five Forks. p

baby can be but a woman. What com:

the little head makes the breast it lies
on What charm there is in it what
ioy! It's bath, the laving of it's tiny
limbs, the dressing it in soft, white things,
wrapping it in cosy shawls, putting the
toes into the tiny socks. It's sleep, as it

and rosy and hungry. The way in which

There are 80 many babies, men do not

that her own baby has softer sob than

baby" But mothers laugh at them.
There is hard work, there is care, there
are vigils, and much weariness but there
is a baby to love to pay for it all.
