A Prayer Sleeting.

heard very amusing story the
other day In connection with the recent
hurricane. A gentleman quite well
known In Kansas city was hurrylng
along to reach his home when the storm
burst upon the city in all Its fury. lie
sought refuge In a house where there
were n number of ladies congrsgated,
all of whom were frantic with terror.
After little the storm increased. Tho
women were rushing around wringlng
their hands, crying and bemoaning
their tate, when suddenly one rushed to
the gentleman aud frantically besought
him to offer up prayer. In q moment
he was surrounded by the other women,
who clung to him aud begged him 10
pray. lie was not by any means col
lected himself, aud besides was not up
at all In prayers, but there was no cs-
cape for him, so he prepared TO comply
with their request.
he hhcit uo"hb DutV"i"S w WV S
cited condition OF his mind and to the
fact that he had not prayed for . long
time, he found himself utterly unequal
to the occasion. lie couldn't think any
thing. lie was dumb. Soon he became
desperate, and without a thought A. to
its appropriateness he pronounced the
following brief sxhortatlon, which he
remembered to have formed part Of
the grace his father used 70 say many
years ago. "Oh, Lord. make ms thank.
ful for that which we are about to re-
ceive." Just then three or four wia-
dows blew In, a couple of cbimneys
blew over, and the prayer meeting
broke up In confusion.

The Brave.t Battle.

The brayest battle that ever was fought!
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find 1t not
Twas fought by the mothers OF men.
Nay, not with cannon, or battle shot.
With sword, or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought.
From mouths OF wonderful men. {.
But deep in walled-up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently, bore her part
Loi there is that battlefield!
No marshaling troup, no bivouac song;
No banner to CLEAN or wave!
But, oh : these battles, they last so long
From babyhood to the grave!

CAPTAIN CRAWFORD.
OFFICIAL REPORT OF HIS DEATH
BY LIEUTENANT MAUS


NEW YORK, February s-The official report Of
Lieutenant Maus, in regard to the killing Of Capt.
Crawford, by Mexican soldiers, published here to
day, says Sunday night, January eth, we wen
into camp about 100 yards above the Indian camp,
in the same line of rocks. At daylight the next
morning the camp was alarmed by the loud cries
OF some of the scouts, followed quickly by a
shower of bullets ints our camp. |, with Lieut..
Shipp, and Mr.. Horn, ran forward to stop it, as it
was supposed to be an attack by
Captain Davis scouts through mistake.
1t was seen however, that the attacking party
was large force of Mexican soldiers from Chi
huahua, numbering, ! afterwards ascertained
from them, 154 They wore no uniforms. thought
they were national troops.
Although we forthwith began waving handker-
chiefs and calling out in Spanish who we were they
continued sharp fire for about fifteen minutes
Then 1t seemed we had made them understand we
were Americans, soldiers and friends party of
them approached and Captain Crawford and |
went out about fifty yards from position in the
ground and we talked with them. They did not
stop moving. told them in Spanish that we were
American soldiers and called attention to our dress
and said we would not fire. They answered they
would not fire, but all the time moved toward him.
short distance away-a little higher than our po-
sition-wth some scattering oak wood, Captain
Crawford then ordered me to go back to insure no
more firing. l started back, when voley was
fired. Of course we all sought shelter.
am sure they knew who we were perfectly we'll
at this time Lieutenant Shipp and Mr.. Horn were
also shouting at another point, telling who we
were; that all was right. Mr. Horn speaks Spanish
very well. When l turned again, saw the captain
(Crawford) lying on the rocks with wound on his
head and some of his brains were upon the rocks
This had all occurred in two minutes He was
waving his handkerchief when shot. Mr.. Horn
was also wounded in the left arm slightly 1t is
remarkable no others were shot. There can be no
mistake; these men knew they were firing at
American soldiers,
