Cutting Oft the Baby's Curls.

My beautiful darling ran in from his play,
His blue eyes swimming with tears unslled;
The boys all call me q 'dirl', mamma,
And 4 isn't q dirl, /" he said. Tdirl's,
ITS cause I've dot curls, and they're just like a

[ held my darling close, close to my breast,
And l hushed his sobs with a sigh and smile,
But oh, my heart was so i'll at rest
AS l thought Of the past the While:
Must l sever those ringlets, half silk, half gold,
That lovingly over my fingers L rolled?
/ thought Of the baby Kisses and wiles,
Alas! had my baby gone far away?
Must l look in vain for his dream-iike smiles,
And watch him no more at his play?
Nor call him my wee dimpled pearl CT pearls,'
While l stenlthlly fondled the hated curls?
lifted them gently-lny boy, my pet, Lshorn:
Still sobbed and still clamored to have them
His cheeks were like scarlet, his eyes were wet.
As he lisped Of his playmates' scorn;
And my OWN eyes were heavy with unshed tears,
AS the shining trcsses fell off the shears.
1t was done-my darling no longer wept,
But proudly held up his head as he ran,
See! now you can't call me a dirl any more:
My ctIls are all gone-I's a man.'
Ah, poor little manikin, Whist didhe care
That my tears fell hot on that glistening hair?
llaid them aside in q carven box,
These living tresses of amber glow,
And look at them now with a yearning love,
Though my locks are white as the snow;
And they straightforward springinto spirals Of gold
AT the touch Of my tremulous hand, as of old

OF the fearful voice and wet blue eyes; [soft,

SO high as the heaven to which he has gone,
Or stopped to that narrow bed;
they were full of glory, untroubIed by pain

And l sometimes see through the open door
My darling, my baby. my pearl of pearls!

Ton Dunlap, Il carpenter, his wife. and two
children. One child is n bright little girl,

" What shall we do wiz baby, mamma, II
he don't stop his tryin'?"
"We'll have to sew his mouth up.

replied. The next day, while the baby
was sleeping in its cradle, Mrs. Dunlap
ran to a neighbours on an errand, leaving
Nettie PLAYING on the floor. She was de-
tanned longer than she expected to be, and
while hurrying back home and on entering
the yard she heard her baby shrleking as
though in great pain.
She ran into the house and found Nettie
standing by the side OF the cradle and
bending over the baby. When Nettie
heard her mother enter she rose up. Blood
was running from the baby's mouth. Net
tie held in her hand darning-needle con-
tainlng a short piece OF yarn, which Mrs.
Dunlap had left sticking In cushion on
the table. Mrs. Dunlap took the screaming
baby quickly from the cradle. q" Baby

had run the needle nearly through the
baby's under-lip in two places.

nent Creek Indian who passed through
here to-day en- route for Washington gives
gloomy picture OF the political situation
in the Creek Nation. At present there is
no local government, the office OF Princ-
pal Chief being claimed by Perryman and
Spiechice, and the country is ruled by mob
principal rather than law. Spiechiee is
now in Washington, and expects to obtain
decision favorable to his claims to the
chieftaincy from the Uuited States authori-
ties. Perryman's friends claim to have
established his cause. II Is assumed that
two thirds of the Creeks favor Spiechiee.
A sharp opposition to the disappointment
OF Indian Agent Tufts has developed itself,
and it is believed will lead TO his overthrow.
There are several candidates for the po-
sition. Ii Is believed that unless the pre-
sent complications in the Creek Nation are
skilfully and satisfactorily settled civil
war will result.

They Had Elected One.

In the Delta Kappa Epsilon Quarterly
for January there is a pleasant account by
Mr.. w. ii. Tunnard OF the birth OF Lambda
i'm 1852 in little old log-cabin in the woods
near Kenyon. There was danger in the
foundation. Cor law then existed at Ken
Won against all secret fraternities; and the
members would perfOrce steal away through
the night to the celebration OF their rites.
In 1854 the ban was removed on condition
that "a member OF the faculty should be al
lowed to attend the meetings. OF the re-
suit an old member says:
a short time after this agreement
was walking up the college path with Pre-
sident Lorin Andrews. when he asked:
How are you getting along:'
80 Nicely replied.
"'When do you meet:'
Cant tell you. Mr.. President
why not? Did you not agree that Il
member of the faculty should attendy'
"Yes, sir. But we propose to choose
the member. We will take Professor
Lathrop' The President gave n long
whistle and changed the subject. We had
beaten him. Professor Lathrop, charter
member, had graduated, become u profess
sor in the college, and knew all the move
ments OF the fraternity, but had kept his
obligations inviolate."
