Out of Whole Cloth.

A few weeks ago a dispatch from
West Virginia stated that at Okonoko,
in that State, a Miss Cox had been pre-
maturely buried; that subsequently the
grave was opened, and that the con-
dition of the body showed that the girl
had recovered consciousness in her
coffin, struggled desperately to release
herself, and died of suffocation. The
details given were minute enough to
warrant belief in the story, but inquiry
on the spot has developed the fact that
there was not word of truth in it, be-
yond the circumstance that the grave
was opened to satisfy an idle conjecture.
"Nothing whatever" writes the pastor
of Okonoko, twas found to furnish the
shadow of a doubt that Miss Cox had
died natural death, and was dead when
put in her coffin" Out Of this the SEN
sational story telegraphed broadcast
was framed, and thus another dreadful
case of family negligence is shown to be
baseless. 1t is scarcely necessary to say
tna6 Ine person WHO tooh tne palllS W
invent so deliberate and elaborate q
falsehood deserves to be punished,
though it is probable that the Ananias
or Sapphira, as the case may be, will be
prudent enough not to avow his or her
connection with the imposture. So
lively and gruesome an imagination
might be put perhaps to uses more valu-
able commercially than the narrowing
up of the public mind with fictitious
! graveyard horrors.

An Actors Good Angel.

Herr Sonnenthal, the celebrated
German actor, who is now playing an
engagement in New York city, tells a
reporter the following tale: "For twelve
years past L have been followed almost
daily by woman 1 have never Spoken
one syllable to her, nor she to me.
Never has the slightest communication
of any kind passed between US. For
twelve years 1 have seen her almost
nightly at the theatre; I have caught
occasional glimpses Of her at window
or on the balcony of some house in some
street in which might be living; have
met her in obscure villages when on
some tour or rest. Whenever 1 fail to
see her, some piece of i'll luck always
seems to befall me. At first her continual
re-appearances somewhat worried me. /
tried to communicate with her, but al
ways failed. Finally [ grew to regard
her as my lucky star. 1 have built up
an ideal in my mind concerning her.
Not for the world would I speak to her,
lest that ideal should be destroyed.
Judge of nv astonishment when I saw
my GIucksengel on board the ship when
we were few days out. When L open
at the Thalia, I know 1 shall see her
there. If ON the night am to play
Hamlet my eyes fall on her, I know I
shall carry all before me-" The good
angel was present when ne opened, and
he did carry all before him.

Spring BOnnets.

Small capotes and slightly larger bon
nets with peaked brims make up the
bulk of the trimmed hats imported from
Paris as models for spring and summer
use. The fsh-wife bonnet is most large
ly imported, as its pointed brim has
finally found its way into general favor,
though it is still considered appropriate
and becoming only to young faces. For
these bonnets fanciful materials are en-
ployed in combination with straw, the
latter being used mainly for the brim,
while the soft crown is made of etamine,
or lace, or the tricotine mixtures of wool
with gilt, or of silk gauze. Velvet en-
ters into nearly all the bonnets, and a
great deal of thin Grape and of silk tulle
is arranged in pulled facings for brims,
and in lengthwise pleats or puifs on tue

"a Child of the Prison.

Under the above title we printed the
story of an episode of prison life in New
Jersey. It was that ofipoor Rosa Nc
Carly, ruined by drink and evil living,
and of her little fiye-year-old daughter
and only companion. Mother and
child have just been arrested in Jersey
City and consigned to the Penitentiary
for sixty days. Born in prison, this lit.
tie creature has passed four of her five
years behind the prison bars with her
mother. The twain have refused
separation, and thus far have been SO
fortunate as not to be driven into that am
putation of tie which is, perhaps,
not less sacred that its only associations
are vile. The picture of the little sunny
faced child accompanying her mother
to and from the scenes of degradations
and the scenes of incarceration within
prison walls is one whose incongruity is
its chief lesson to humanity--a lesson
of fidelity, of natural love that not all
sin and all wretchedness can uproot, o1
mute automatic self-sacrifce beyond
mortal ken. Is there not way and
are there not instruments to redeem
these two errant yet faithful lives p

Sentenced to Lose his Eyes.

A Tangiers correspondent says: "As
an instance of what goes on in Morocco
in the present day, let ME relate an in
cident which has just come to my knowl-
edge. A man residing at Feronei, some
miles from Tetuan, was lately accused
of having stolen bullock from one OF
the local naval authorities, who, acting
as Judge in his own case, gave an order
that the supposed delinquent should
have his eyes cut out. The horrid SEN
tence was carried into effect and the
wretched victim was then led into
Tetuan by one of his relatives in order
to have medical advice from European
doctor, who has settled there. As may
be supposed, the case was beyond the
limits of science, for no human power
can ever restore sight to those empty
sockets, and the poor fellow who suffered
this shameful cruelty and who has been,
up to the present time, the support of
a numerous family, is condemned to
hopeless darkness forever. This is only
one sample of series of brutal atroci-
ties continually occurring in this coun"
try,"-LOndO1 Globe.

some six years. ago NJ. Ernest Inger-
soil published IN SciyGaar's Monthly
very long article on Leadvilie, and re-
member he mentioned the finding of the
Camp Bird Mine" there by the Gal
lagh0r brothers, two illiterate sons OF
the Emerald Isle, but as he never told
how they discovered it, and the sensa-
tion it produced East subsequently, |
will relate it. These Gallagher broth
ers, Dan and Michael, were exceptional
ly Irish in everything, very poor, but
honest, shrewd, and, to certain extent,
superstitious. One day, together they
started out with a hope of getting en-
ployment, and, in crossing piece of
country contiguous to the silver mine,
Dan stopped to tie his brogans, or army
shoes.
ooh, Mickey, here's luck p he ex-
claimed. picking up small-sized silver
quartz.
They both examined it, and discov-
cred it was genuine rocky quartz silver,
and they possessed themselves of it.
Not long after paper published not
fifty miles from Chicago gave a sensa-
tional account of two Irishmen, with
pistols and etceteras, jumping" silver
mine, the rightful property of an old
Scotchman, the whole thing originating
in the fertile brain of the writer. DIR.
Wood, then on the New York SIN, had
suspicion that all was magnitied, and
wrote long article to Western paper,
arriving at the truth. The Red Jacket,
Mariposa, Little Miami and other mines
have romances attached to their discov-
cries. The Red Jacket was found by
struggling snowed-in party of miners;
the Mariposa by Mexican, who sold
out at a sacrifice; the Little Miami by
an Indian girl, who was attached to
sergeant of a company of United States
infantry. She brought him the evidence
of her rich find, and he staked off the
claim and sold it in the California mar
ket, the girl, as was rumored, dying OF
broken heart. In each OF these IN
stances correspondents of Eastern Jour-
nails wrote up sensational tales and made
mountains out of molehills.

The Little HOusekeepers.

suppose you know that nearly all
kinds of birds take their flight to q
warmer part of the country in the far
distant South, upon the approach of cold
weather, and come back to us again with
the opening days of spring. Among
these are the black birds. But one win
ter, not many years ago, in a logging
camp, away up in the Minnesota Piner-
les, where the weather is very cold in
midwinter, two blackbirds remained all
winter, making their home in the build
ing used as a stable for the oxen. The
rough lumbermen, who had never known
of case like this before, were pleased
and were kind to the little birds; the
man who had charge of the camp and
cooked for the stalwart choppers, scat
tered crumbs for them in generous
quantities near the camp door, and the
birds soon learned to expect their food
at regular times each day.
When the weather was extremely cold
the little birds kept in the stable Cor, as
the men call it, "hovel'' all through
the day. That is, they would "sit in
the barn to keep themselves warm and
hide their heads under their wings
poor things" And when the oxen were
driven home from their work in the
evening, the birds would hail them with
cries of welcome, and alight on the
warm backs of the oxen and nestle do WI
in the thick bushy hair, probably to
warm their toes. And every night they
slept Oh their chosen perch, nestled
down snugly on the backs of the good
natured beasts, who either did not care
or were unaware of their presence. In
sunny days they flew about, alightiug
in the tall pines and on the big log build
ing-which the men call the "camp'-
never, during all that long winter, did
they go far away from their chosen
home.

POET AND SIGN PAINTER.
Verse Writer Who Used to Play Ii on
the Boys.

A Verse Writer who Used to Play Ii on
| the Boys.
L was running a weekly paper in a
small Northern Indiana town at the
time first met the poet Reilly, says a
writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch. You
know how the inhabitants of small
places go wild over anything of freak
ish nature, and the reigning sensation
Just then was the work of blind sign
painter. A party of advertising fakirs
had just struck the village who deco
rated the dead walls and fences in the
most gaudy way imaginable, the finish
ing and artistic touches being done by
member of the party who was known as
the "Only Blind Sign Painter on
Earth" Business with them was rush
ing, every merchant in town coming
around and wanting work done, for when
the Blind Sign Painter, who was none
other than Reilly, felt his way up lad
der and dashed off an artistic sign, half
the inhabitants of the place turned out
to witness the feat.
The scheme of the fakirs, which was
an original one and calculated to catch
the multitude, all depended on the his
trionic ability of the Hoosier Poet. He
had large, frank gray eyes, and the
vision of an eagle. When the surface
was selected he was brought out and
led to the foot Of the ladder. A part
of his business was to go up a step,
carefully feeling his way, then turning,
stare into vacancy in an aimless, moony
sort of style, and bring to bear on the
crowd face full of pain and pathos.
This rarely failed to draw expressions of
sympathy, and, what was more to the
point, additional advertising contracts.
Slowly climbing the ladder, he fingered
the surface, measuring carefully with
his hands the dimensions of the letters,
and then seizing the brush, the sign was
reeled off much more rapidly than the
| average painter could do it.
Another catching bit of t'business''
was to stumhla on coming down. --leu
| one of the party gave him showing be-
| low, with an imprecation and brutal
order to be more careful.
"Shame, shame Some one ought to
take the poor man away from those ruff
fans" were sample remarks from the
crowd on such occasions. One daJ
when he was up the ladder caught his
eye. My suspicious had been aroused
and he saw it in my face. Slowly and
deliberately, with owlish solemnity, he
winked that great gray eye of his in a
way which spoke whole libraries.
After that was taken in his conf
dence, and finding he was a gold mine
of talent induced him to leave painting
and go to work in my office, a task which
was not difficult, for he only regarded
the ''Blind Painter" dodge as boyish
lark, and was getting tired of the fun.
That was the beginning of his news
paper career. He went to Indianapolis
and has been doing excellent work on
the press of that city ever since. 1 un-
derstand his book is netting him quite
handsomely and is a success in every
way.
