rushed from the brush to hand In the

the interest then centering In his own sal

and soon had Bob In her embrace, Bob had

Atramp walking the ties of the Baltimore
Central Railroad few days ago discover
ed very serious break In the track near
kennett Square. He informed the railroad
authorities at the kennctt station, and the
break was mended In time to avert what
might haye been terrible accident. James
Reed, tramp who has been living near
Beaver, Pa, and who has astonished the
natives by HIS knowledge of Shakespearean
and other poetry,says his father Is to-day
wealthy banker and broker of Baltimore.
Reed says he was driven from home fifteen
years ago because he fell in love with his
step.mother, whom his father had just mar
ried. Joseph Roe, tramp of the most di-
lapidated order, but who has an artistic eye,
has turned the Lancaster almshousc into
an art gallery. He whitewashed the wall:
until the work resembled kalsomining and
then he drew some admirable crayor
sketches on them.

Nrs. Andrews, the returned missionary
from India, In her reference to the mission
schools therein Buffalo the other evening,
said that stranger, on approaching one OF
these schools. would imagine from the
racket that they were disorderly. But this
was not the case. II Is due to the fact that
a girl In India, when studying, screams at
the top Of her voice and rocks back and
forth, and the more interested she becomes
In her lesson the louder she screams and
the harder she rocks.
