He Smelled the Medicine

A bright little five-year-old boy
was visiting his father who belong
ed to a New York regiment, in
camp.
One day as he was playing before
his fathers tent, he was accosted in
a pleasant way by sprucely dress
ed soldier. He was accustomed to
being noticed, child in camp being
a great luxury, but from this sold
Ter he showed evident signs of NOV
ing away
"Come here, my little man." said
the officer.
The discerning child replied 81
don't want to you are a doctor
know you are a doctor
''You are mistaken; come here ]
am not a doctor"
But the little fellow only put his
head out of the tent far enough tc
say eyes, you are a doctor, too
know you are a doctor, for l car
smell the medicine on your breath.
That New York officer never re-
ceived any name afterward during
the war.

A Fragment.

What if, while sit here, as one,
A voice 1 have not heard for years
Should greet me in the low sweet tone
That once was music to my ears
And 1 should start from memory's sway,
And, turning, find you sitting there
Unchanged, as though 'twere yesterday
Your feet went tripping down the stair.
Or il, upon some summer day.
Mid song of birds and hum of bees,
| should go down the woodland way
TO our old tryst beneath the trees
And, starting back in glad surprise,
should behold you waiting there,
The old light shining in your eyes
The sunlight tangled in your hair.
In vain l shall see the glow
Of wine-brown eyes or catch the smile
Of ruby lips ; but yet know
That you are near me all the while.
For so loved you in that range
Of sunny years that my poor heart
Would bleed afresh and count it strange
To think God held us far apart.
And so, when evening shadows creep
And night falls softly Ger the lea.
You touch my eyelids and sleep,
And sleeping, dream of heaven and
thee.
And when some summer morn shall
break
That finds me chilled by deaths colo
dew,
You need but kiss me, shall wake,
And waking be in heaven with you.

A Commotion.

There was a commotion in the
dimly-lighted parlor, and a moment
later, when Maud's papa entered,
Maud was sitting demurely in one
corner of the room while Maud's
George occupied the other.
"Well, George, how do you come
on nowadays p greeted the old
gentleman, cheerily.
"Oh, I guess I've been holding my
own," replied Maud's George, with
a smile.
$50, so been holding your own

ship already, eh2 and she was will
ing to be held, I'll warrant. Well,
well, times haven't changed much

old gentleman chuckled, while Maud
blushed, and George and the lamp
tried to draw out of sight.

A Clever George

George is four years old. One
day the youngster had been taken
with a slight attack of prevarication,
and, wishing to impress upon his
infantile understanding the sinful
ness of telling fibs, the father related
the story about George Washington
and his little hatchet, closing with
the remark that George Washington
was a good boy and never told a lie.
The child sat in deep thought a
moment and then said :
'Papa, toodent he talk?"

OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH.

Royal Hanover stood by the win
dow playing with the scarlet curtain
tassel, and Doctor Reynolds sat in
an easy-chair beside the fire covertly
looking at her. In varied travels he
had seen few women as beautiful.
The round supple form, the regular
ly carved and exquisitely tinted
face, the perfect grace and air of
high breeding, might have pleased a
more fastidious man than he. But
something higher and better than
admiration softened Doctor Rey-
nold's face as he turned away with
a soft sigh and rustled the leaves of
his book by the fire light. Royal
deserted the window and came soft
ly toward the fire.
"a year from to-day hope shall
not be here" she said.
Again Doctor Reynolds looked up
at her. His gaze was a mixture of
tenderness and sorrow.

Again Doctor Reynolds sighed.
"Ifyou have anything to say to

"You know my WISH" he said
quietly.
A sudden color hickered in her
cheek. She glanced at him shyly,
from under her long lashes.
II would regret no money that
would keep you off the stage, Royal. "
The color died in her beautiful
face.
"You would pay any price to keep

"Why, I shall eat my own heart in

His sorrwful eyes seemed unbear-

Detective Shrewdness.

The following isanotable instance
Of shrewdness on the part ofan Eng
lish detective. Some burglars had
been disturbed in their work in a
house near the Regents park by a
wakeful butler. He was armed with
a gun, and he succeeded in captur-
ing one burglar and wounding
another, who escaped. There was
no doubt of the latter fact, as spots
of blood were plainly discernible on
the snowy ground. When the day
for the examination of the captured
burglar arrived, Il detective placed
himself in the police court ina posi-
ton whence he could watch the
countenances of the general public.
He wisely argued that some friend
of the prisoner would attend in or
der to convey the earliest informa-
ton to the wounded burglar of the
result Of the examination of his
friend. For while the detective
scanned the grimy features of the
audience in vain at length he fan
cied that woman betrayed more
than ordinary interest in the evil
dence adduced. AT the conclusion
of the examination he followed the
woman to humble lodging in the
borough and there, stretched on a
miserable pallet, lay the burglar
with bullet-wound in his leg.
Age appears to increase tie value
Of everything except women and
butter.

says it's like any other disease
