Playing Seyeu-Cp for Liberty

Y, ''and one of the queerest cases that ever
came to my notice was about eight OF ten

charged with having committed burglary
on a store. They refused to employ q law

Knowing that they were guilty, they con-
cluded that the chances were against them
getting away, although. SO far as they knew.
there was no direct proof of their guilt
While in Jail together they played a

plead guilty on trial and swear that the

will be a good deal better than both going

day last week. At the station where got

fcer Mckay told her that unless the door
was opened they would break it in. and she
replied that if they did she would prosecute
them. After some further parley Mckay
gave Officer Nicklas the word to break the
door, and the splinters began to fly in every

An Adventure Mt Grants Tomb.
New York World,

A World reporter on Thursday evening
thought he would visit the encampment at
Grants tomb and see how the soldiers
welcomed the New Year. 1t was about ten
o'clock when he alighted from car at One
Hundred and Twenty-second street and
the Boulevard. The rain he'd ceased and
in its place high wind was bowling
through the trees and along the road As
he climbed the steep street leading to the
tomb the night was pitch dark and no sign
of life was visible about the place. Reach
ing the bluff, he started in the direction of
the tomb. intending to hold few minutes
conversation with the sentry on guard. He
had walked but short distance when a
voice cried out:
..Who goes there?'
There was no mistaking the tone of the
voice. Ii meant business: and in order to
become better acquainted with the person
who owned it the reporter came to halt
Again the voice asked:
..Who goes there?" and then from out of
the darkness a soldier, wrapped in his blue
coat and carrying his musket at bayOnet
charge. approached. The reporter recalled
some old stories of camp life and said:
"A friend"
Advance friend" came back from the
sentry. and the reporter advanced to where
the soldier stood. close to the tomb The
musket was still held at bayonet charge.
Corporal of the guard" yelled the sol
der, aud in a few minutes lights could be
seen moving in a tent on the knoll over
cooking the tomb. and dapper-lOoking
soldier marched down with martial tread.
Presenting arms to the corporal. short
conversation was held between them. and,
facing about again with a martial tread.
they marched to the newspaper man.
What's your business?' demanded the
corporal. The reporter explained that GU
riosity had led htm to visit the place. The
officer said that he was on forbidden
grounds. After $50 o'clock at night visi-
tors and not allowed 10 go beyond the drive
way. Further explanations convinced the
sou of Mars that no evil intentions had been
entertained by the reporter. and he was
permitted to depart. In future he will let
the whole United States army spend the 365
days in any way they see hit.

Train Talk.

Not many miles from Chicago lives a tar
getman who. for nearly four years. has
played little game admirable for its bold
ness and ingenuity. The duties of target
man. everyone should know, are to keep
a constant lookout at the crossing of two
railroads and to swing the red danger signal
over one track at the approach of train on
the other. For ten years one man has held

still there. -Four years ago the night

name of a man competent to take de-

placed on the payroll and received his sal

tion at which these men were employed is
merely a crossing out on the prairie. There
is no house there beside the targetman's
shanty. and, few rods away. his humble
dwelling. A few weeks ago it was acci-
dentally discovered that for four years one
man has drawn two mems pay. and that
the new man who was hired four years age
never existed, save in the imagination of
the man who pretended to hire him.
But the targetman who drew two mems
pay also did two mems work. For
four years he has lived in that little shanty.
night and day. Not ten hours in all that
time has he been farther from the crossing
than the little frame house where he ate his
meals. Twenty-four hours day and 36s
days year he has been on the lookout for
approaching locomotive headlights and
smokeStacks. Of course he could not have
performed such service as this without as

that of an automatic signal rigged up by

POWER OF TIT VOICE OVER
CHILDREN.

1t il usual to attempt the management
of children either by corporal punish
ments, or by rewards addressed to the
senses. or by rewards alone. There is
one other means Of government, the pow
er and importance Of which are seldom
regarded. I refer to the human voice.
A blow may be inflicted on child, ac-
companied by words so uttered as to
counteract entirely it, intended effect.
Or the parent may Use language in the
correction of the child, not Objectionable
in itself. yet spoken in tone which more
than defeats its influence. Let anyone
recall the image Of a fond mother long
since in Heaven. Her sweet SMILES and
ever clear countenance arc brought vivid
" to recollection. So also is her voice ;
and blessed is that parent who is endow-
ed with pleasant utterance. What Is
it that ulls the infant to reposeI 1t Is
no array of mere words. There is no
charm to the untaught one in letters
syllables, and sentences. 1t is the sound
which strikes lis little ear, that soothe
and composes it to sleep. \ few notes.
however unskilfully arranged il utter d
in a soft tone, are found to possess a
marie influence. Think we that this in
luence il confined to the cradle? No, ii

while the child remains under the par
entail roof. Is the boy growing rude in
mapner, and boisterous in speech? !
know of no instrument so sure to control
these tcndencisc az the gentle tones of q
mother. She who speaks to her son
har hly, does not give to his conduct the
sanction OF her own example. She pours
oil on the already raging fame. In the
pressure of duty, we are liable to utter
ourselves hastily to "ur chlldr H. TeF-
haps threat is expressed in a loud and ir-
ritating tone. Instead Of alaying the
passion Of the child, it serves directly to
increase them. Every fretiul expression
awakens in him the same spirit which
produced it. So does pleasant voice
call up agreeable feelings. Whatever
disposition, therefore, we would encour-
age ia child, the same we should mani
fest in the tone with which we address
them.
There should be no relaxation in the
firm but Just execution Of the law now in
