A Governor and q Baby.

On the train between Atlanta and West Point was a poor, tired mother, whose sick and fretful infant had well nigh ex- hausted her strength and patience. The cries of the child, with the pleadings and lullabies of its mother for hours, had driven the more thoughtless and unchar- itable passengers into nervousness and despair. The fond mother noticed the discomfort of her fellow passengers and redoubled her efforts to quiet the child. The good-hearted Governor, the late Mir. Conley, noticing this condition of affairs, went over to where the mother was sit. ting, and in the most fatherly manner and tone of voice asked to be permitted to relieve her of the child for a little while. Taking the baby in his arms, the Governor walked backward and forth the length of the car, talking baby talk" and in various other ways sooth ing and diverting the thoughts of thu little one for an hour or more, or until il had quieted down and slept quietly 1T the Governors arms, who then handed ii over to its mother This act was, o course, witnessed by the passengers, and when it was known that the kind old gentleman who was assisting the tired mother in quieting her baby was the Gov ernor of Georgia, it was easy to imagin' the feelings of the party. .-Augusta lGa.

A Club of Sneak Thieves,

A New York letter to the Chicago Herald, says: The strangest street per sons, on the whole, are to be seen in Mott street, where the Chinese centralize, and where all sorts of folks go to look at them. Chinamen are not numerous enough in this city, and those we have are too widely distributed in their laun- dries all over town to constitute much of a Chinese quarter. The nearest approach to it is a block or two in which their stores, gambling. houses, opium joints and lodgings almost exclude other occu- pancy. However, it was in the upper story of one of these buildings, 8 ram- shackle old two-and- -a-half- story structure over Chinese restaurant, that the police found and broke up sneak thieves club. The members were dozen hard young sters, reared in the squalor and vice of the neighborhood, and their highest am- bition was to become robbers. But they had methodical president, who intend ed that they should be instructed in the law and ethics of their trade; so he went to broken-down shyster at the Tombs, near by, and hired him for $2 to deliver a lecture on the dangers and safeguards of sneaktheiving. His first discourse was on the penalties for different grades of robbery, and especially he pointed out the foolishness of taking big risks for little poodle. 'Don't break into any house, :" he said "unless you feel sure you can capture heavy swag, because that is burglary, punishable with as much as twenty years imprisonment. Don't use force against persons, because that consti- tutes highway robbery, with the same penalty, no matter if you only take a dime. But sneak into railways, load | yourselves with coats from the rack and scoot away, because year in the peniten- tiary is the most you can get for merely stealing less than $25 worth, and a jury will usually scale a coat down to that
 figure" The enterprising thieves were so we'll pleased with this lecture that they applied to more conscientious ex- pert for another, and he informed the l police,

Byron Swimming the Hellespont.

It was in May, 1910, that Lord Byron, in emulation of Leander, swan across the Hellespont. The distance, however, being two miles from the European to the Adriatic side, when he reached the latter, from exhaustion, he was compelled to seek repose in the hut of Turkish fisherman, where he remained carefully attended by the wife for five days. Upon his departure, his lordship, whose rank and fame were unknown to the Turkish peasants, received gift of a loaf, some cheese, a skin of wine and the blessings of Allah. In return Byron sent the fish erman few fishing nets, fowling piece and several yards of silk for his wife. The Turk, overwhelmed with gratitude, resolved to cross the Hellespont to thank his unknown guest, but in the passage his boat was upset, and the poor fellow met with watery grave.

Professor Lesley, estimating the amount of coal in the Pittsburg region at about thirty billion of tons--a practically inex- haustible amount-holds, concerning oil and gas, however, very different views. He says, upon deliberate study: '1 take the opportunity to express my opinion in the strongest terms that the amazing ex- hibition of oil and gas which has char acterized the last twenty years, and will probably characterize the next ten or twenty years, is nevertheless, not only geologically but historically, temporary and vanishing phenomenon-onc which young men will live to see come to its natural end And this opinion l do not entertain in any loose or unreasonable form; it is the result of both an active and thoughtful acquaintance with the snhiect y

Mir. E. L. Baker, our consul general at Buenos Ayres, has recently reported to the state department the discovery of gold in Patagonia. According to the report of the commission appointed by the Argentine Republic to examine these deposits, they are of superior class, and 'there is abundance both of gold and platinum" MT. Baker says the ore is believed to be richer than that of Cali fornia or Australia. Not the least inter- esting fact about this discovery is that the new gold fields are easily accessible. The deposits are said to extend from Cape Virgin, on the northern shore of the Straits of Magellan, through which many vessels pass every year, northward along the Atlantic coast for forty or fifty rnilaa

He Left!

The popular test of allowing an animal to witness concerning his ownership is not always successful. A case was once brought into court in which the owner ship of a dog was questioned. The judge knew the popular method in such trials, and determined to let the dog 'testify by every mark of affection" :.
 "Stopr' exclaimed his Honor. "Stop right there! Now you, MT. Plaintiff, get into that far corner out there; and you, Mir. Defendant, go into the corner over he"-, There! Now both of you whistle, anu, MT. Clerk, you loose the dog. The man whom the dog seeks is his master"
 ''rhe plaintiff and defendant whistled. The dog hardly noticed the sounds. They whistled again. The clerk let go his hold. The dog cast look about him of mingled disgust and timidity, lifted one ear at the jury and another at the clerk. Then throwing back his head, he gave vent to howl of terror, and shot out of the door like meteor.

Why He Is Proud.

''There is ono thing in my hfe, ," said veteran, '.that sends the blood through my veins in proud exultation to this day, and the thought of it never comes to me but what want to step outside of myself and pat myself on the shoulder. There are hundreds of things in my life that l am ashamed of, and that I would gladly forget. There are hundreds of things that have done which never come to my mind without making me wish that I had the power to kick myself from one end of the street to the other. But the memory of this one thing that did is compensation for all the things that am ashamed of.
 'In one of the sauarest, fairest, fercest hsttles of the war, 500 men were thrown forward to check for moment the furious charge of twenty times as many Confederates. Of the 500 men in line at the beginning of the charge, five stood at the end by the colors. I was one of the five, and I never think of the hail of bull lets, of the hurricane swoop of charging thousands that swept men to sudden death or away before it like chaff in the wind, but see those five sullen, desper- ate, white-faced, stubborn men gathered in startled group about the torn and blood-stained flag that had been down and up good many times. Dazed they were, half-crazed they were, by the over- whelming catastrophe, but the instinct of clinging to the flag was there.
 'My comrades were better soldiers than l. They were men whose eyes flashed, and whose nostrils widened when conflict became furious, and it was delight to me in that minute to know that in this hour of trial my controlling impulse, my instinctive move had been the same as theirs, to cling to the flag. had no idea, then that we would live five min utes, and yet I exulted in the thought that when put to trial had done my full duty. We brought the flag out of the fight. Four of the men arc living yet, but they have not met since the war. They are all in humble walks of life, and not one of them is given to self-adulation, but to all of them that incident of battle | is Q precious memory. After that, as one of the old codgers said in his own quaint way, They were a leetle too proud ever to do a cowardly thing again. '"- CAica- go Inter- Oc an.

Indian Canal Villages in Mexico.

For half mile on either side of the grand canal, the country is threaded with perfect network of smaller canals, which lead away the water for irrigation purposes. Each little garden plot is an island, and it is impossible to go any where except in conoe. A stranger would lose himself at once in this laby rinth of water courses, but the native glides in and out, and comes and goes n his little skitf, happy in his native ele- ments, and filling the canals and shaded water courses with life and animation.
 The scene on the grand canal in the early morning is picturesque and full of interest. From hundred side streams suddenly appear crafts of alfdescriptions, loaded down to the waters edge with vegetables and flowers. An Indian with single paddle sits in the stern of each canoe, and propels it swiftly and skill fully along through the myriad crafts toward the city. This person is often woman, and her black hair floats out be- hind her as she bends over her paddle, and her white teeth flash as she laughs and answers merrily to the halls of her companions in other boats. Sometimes, if the canoe is a large one, the vegetable man takes his whole family on board, and while he stands up in the stern and paddles his craft along, his spouse sits forward and nurses her dusky little ones, or arranges the vegetables and flowers for market. On feast days and flower festi- vals the scene is full of beauty. Every Indian twines a wreath about his hat, the women and children deck themselves with flowers, and the fleet of boats come down the stream with its occupants sing ing, and-on the large boats-dancing the jarabe at the bows. -.s
 The jarabe, more familiarly know as the fandango, is the favorite dance of the native Mexicans. A man and woman stand opposite to each other-or if the women are scarce the men pair off-and dance, or rather stamp, kind of smoth- cred shuffle, which is neither clog dance nor reel. The dancers do not need much space to execute it successfully and hence the large, flat bottomed freight boats, which ply between the city and Chalco, afford ample accomdations for their sim pie revels The music on these occa- siors is usually harp and bandolon the latter being an instrument much like the guitar, with twelve metal strings and the dances generally chime in thei' voices, making wild chorus, which once heard, can never be forgotten There can be nothing more picturesque than fleet of these noisy, flower decket boat people out for feast day lark.
