A Boys Love for His Mother.

OF all the love affairs in the world,
none can surpass the true love OF a big
boy for his mother. 1t is a love pure
and noble, honorable in the highest de-
gree to both. do not mean merely a.
dutiful affection. mean love which
makes a boy gallant to his mother, say
ing plainly toeverybody that he is fair
ly in love with her. Next to the love
OF her husband, nothing so crowns
woman's life with honor as this second
love, this devotion of her son to her.
And never knew a boy to turn
OUT badly who began by falling in love
with his mother. Any man might fall
in love with a tresh-faced girl, and the
man thatls gallant to the girl may for
get the worn and weary wife. But the
big boy who is a lover of his mother at
middle age is a true knight, who will
love his wife as much in the sere,leaf
Autumn as he did in the daisied Spring.
There is nothing so beautifully chiv-
alrous as the love OF a big boy for hia
mother.

Why He was Nicknamed "Latch-.
Key Ward.'

New York Letter.
There was a marriage announced a
short time ago which created q mild
sensation and a good deal OF newspa-
per comment. The groom was alluded
to with much bonhomie as "Latch-
key Ward, "oreven the "Great Ward"
In private life this much written OF in
dlvldual is known as Raymond Ward,
and not nine people out often, though
his name was once in everybody's
mouth, remember how he came by his
queer nickname There is a. little
story connected with it which is worth
telling. One night some five years
ago, Mr.: Ward was sleeping in a room
IN the St. James hotel. It was a hot
night, and the window was open.
Through this window entered a burg
lar, pistol-girt, stocking footed, and
stealthy. Decisive action being neces-
sary in his craft, he lost no time in
turning out the pockets of Mr..
Wards trousers. Mr.. Ward woke
up. He lay in bed watching the
burg lar and thinking. He had
no fire. arm near; in fact, the only
article within reach was a latch kew
lying on the table. The key glittered
furtively in the moonlight, which
glitter, catching Mr.. Ward sroving eye,
suggested a course Of action. AS if
suddenly awakened he sprang out OF
bed, grasped the key and leveled it at
the intruder, requested him to dror
the trousers, and with the other hand
he pressed the automatic button.
The burglar seeing the moonlight
strike line of light off the barrel Of
the weapon pointed at him, found his
case too desperate for resistance He
dropped the money, and, on a second
request, put at the point of thelatch.

and'snrrendered. The janitor arriving
GREATNESS at this stage, the interloper
was bound and walked off, AS he
went Mr.. Ward showed him the key.
He looked at it for a moment, then
cursing regretfully, observed, eff I'd
known that was key, you'd have
been getting pretty stiff by this time.

There is something attractive about
Sulliyan's style despite his toughness
and naughty contempt for the rules OF
English grammar He was in town a.

manager, and he received the homage

that was the allegation in morning

haunted him ever since the English

Here the champion leaned back and
stared harder yet. His argument was,
conclusive and he knew it,. After g.
short pause he shook his big hand to.
emphasize his words, and continued:
"NlitchelPs good man and q plucky

Mr.. Pat Sheedy has, and always
has, had, a. remarkable influence over
Sullivan. Sheedy is a gambler by oc-
cupation, and his worst enemy will
admit that he's as square as die.
The story goes that Sullivan once
made q feint to, strike Sheedy during.
the one and only dispute they ever
had. AS the champion drew back his
fist, the smooth-faced and unemotion-
al gambler leaned forward until his
face, was within half a foot OF the an
CRY pugilist-
II don't fight that way, John" he
said, quietly. "When l make up my
mind to fight you, you're gone. You
know me. | never run bluff, but
this is a fair warning and the only
one you'll ever receive"
Sullivan looked into the eye of the
man about whom SO many stories OF
extraordinary nerve and quickness
are recorded, now dropped his hand.
They get along capitally now.

Dubuque Herald: Galena hasa tree
which has proved one of the most re-
liable barometers. The same has been
watched for the past two years by
Mr.: Edward MARRIED. as otis predic:

he has never known it to fail. It pre-
diets rain or a storm by turning its
leaves upward. This it will do, in
some instances, twsnty-four hours in
advance, and at other times not less
than four hours. Scientists are. un-
able to explain this strange phenome-

the tree are embedded in some large
opening underneath. The tree ba-

triffe Of 100000 marks. A gigantic
chandelier made in the royal manu-
factory at Meissen, and which it re-
quired four years work to finish, cost
100000 marks; a bed cost considera-

MAD DOGS IN AIKEN.-A correspon-
dent writing to the News and Courier,
from Aiken says: "Our town has been
favored with an early visit from mad
dogs. On Thursday night last Mr.: II.
G. Ludekens, Jr., was bitten, and on
Friday morning Mrs. r. W. Dicks was
bruised, but fortunately the skin was
not broken, by Il mad dog, which was
not killed by the police until he had
bitten several others. The town coun-.
Gil at their meeting this evening Will
doubtless see that the dog law is en-
forced, that the most innocent dog
shall wear Il mlZZle as piece OF pre-
vcntivc justice, if not us Il badge OF
fraud" Shutting the stable door after
the horse is gone don't do much good.
Our town council was wiser. They
believe that prevention is better than
cure.

A NEW IDEA ABOUT C0IN.-An eX-
change tells Of man who plants two
or three weeks after the cropis planted,
il new hill of corn every fifteenth row
each way. And this is the reason: II
the weather becomes dry after the fill
ing time, the silk and tassels both be-
come dry and dead. In this condition,
if it should become seasonable, the silk
revives it's growth, but the tassels do
not recover. Then, for want OF pollen,
the new silk is unable to fill the office
for which it was designed. The pollen
from the replanted corn is then ready
to supply silk, and the filling is COM
pletcd. lie says nearly all the abortive
cars, so common in all corn crops, are
caused by the want of pollen, and he
has known ears to double their size in
this filling.
