In the bread box their was whole

which she clothed tho cold, blue
feet of the dead baby, and with
a comforted heart she closed the coffin.
While she was preparing to mould the
bread timid poor man had stood in
her doorway and asked for bread. but
with her hasd she made sign for him
to leave her.
When she returned from the burial
she set the candle by her bedside, lay
down and went asleep.
! As she slept she had dream. Hans
appeared to her clothed as in his bier,
with doll in his hand and on his feet
the bread shoes. He seemed sad. He
had not that aurebla with which death
should crown a little innocent. The
roses of Paradise were not blooming on

white. Tears fell from his fair lashes
and he sighed deeply.

having seen her son so sad. But she
comforted herself with the thought
that even in Paradise the poor child
could not forget her.
The anxious mother resolved to-
watch the next night and question the
little spectre.
Hans came at the usual hour, and his
mother called on him to tell what was
tormenting him.
''Alas! Those shoes of bread hinder
me from climbing the golden stair to
Paradise; they are heavier on my feet
than postillion boots. and cannot
mount the first stair. 1t causes me
great distress, for see on high cloud
of cherubs, with rosy wings, who call to
me to come and play, and show me
toys of silver and gold"
Having spoke thus, he disappeared.
The wretched mother at once under
stood that she had committed great
fault in not giving the bread to the
poor beggar who came starving to her
door. A thought struck her, and she
went to the cemetery and opened the
bier. There lay Hans as she had placed
him, but v caring an expression of pain.
The mother gently removed the
shoes of bread and buried them while
she prayed.
When night came Hans appeared
once more to his mother, but joyful
and blooming, with two little cherubs
already his friends. He wore wings of
light and a crown on his head.
The next day the mother saw Der son

Yes, Reporters Go There.

For the information of thin-skin
touch-me- nots, it is announced that
newspaper reporters go everywhere it
is likely they can find news note.
They are pure gold, as general thing,
and, unlike the baser metals, are not
contaminated by association. If the
vilest wretch on eatrh, stepped in
physical and moral filth, could give a
piece of news, no trained newspaper
man would hesitate to enter the
abode and gather that item to lay it
before the readers of his journal. 1t
is his business and high calling. He
would be derelict if he failed to ferret
it out and secure it. Unlike those
overwhelmingly delicate and pure (!)
ones, the reporter goes openly where
they go, or are willing to go, secretly
and, again unlike them, he comes
away pure and undefled.
