WTIHea for The Ark0nsdU IfGueter. 1sFOR OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM |
 OF HEAVEN"
BY OSWALD c. LUDWIG

I kiss the pale brow of my dead baby boy, As he lies on his cold, shrouded bier, And wonder if God feels thrill of deep joy In removing him to His own sphere? \ wonder if He in those blue eyes can see The bright gleams of a heavenly light That sparkled and shone in most rapturOus
 giee,
 And upiifted my soul with delight! Will He notice the smile or baby's fair face Mid the millions of cherubims there. Or kiss the soft lips with seraphical grace, AS He smooths back the sun-tinted hair? Will the dear, cooing voice be sweeter to Him Than his prattle on earth was to me? At eve will He sing him to sleep with ny mn, As sang in my poor minstrelsy? Will He view with the warmth of father 8
 love
 The first step of my beautiful boy, And his trembling footsteps in mansions
 above
 Will He lead to his infinite joy? But weary and vain are my wonderings now For my boy unto God have given, stihe sob and again kiss his brow ''For of such is the kingdom of heaven

FiahinR With A EiY.

It takes patience and skill to make a successful fisherman, and both quail ities were highly developed in the bird of which the following Is mar rated in the American Angler. If human beings were equally sharp, there would be no need of almshouscs.
 About fifty years ago, was a youngster playing on the bank of the Kennebec. I shall never forget how neatly saw crane get pickerel dinner. Lumbermen were driving logs down the stream.
 l watched crane acting curiously, standing perched on one of the logs near the shore. l made up my mind to see what he was about, and hid in clump of bushes.
 The crane had bug in his bill and he kept dropping it into the current till 1t foatcd past him, and then sciz- ing it again and repeating the same performance. He looked as If he were going to sleep.
 The old crane kept the bug floating in front of the log for half an hour, when, all of sudden, big pickerel came to the surface and made a dive for the bait. The pickerel was down the cranes throat in lees than sec- ond, and Mir. Crane Tapped his wings and flew away.

Likewise Fifteen Thousand Dollars.

In the list of arrivals of distin- guished people from the north last week at the St. Charles hotel appear the names of Frank R. Goddard and Nj F. Mock. These gentlemen, who hail from the ice bound region of East Saginaw, Mich, paid their maiden visit to the Crescent City under cir canstances peculiarly interesting and agreeable to themselves. Indeed, 1t is questionable whether the pleasure of their visit could have been expected at all had the motive power been other than what 1t was-viz: The Louisiana State Lottery,
 the monthly drawings of this great corporation is directed the eager at tention of hundreds of thousands of people in all parts of the United States, and the publication of drawn prizes is a signal for departure from many big cities and little towns of men and women whose objective point is New Orleans, with expenses pre- paid.
 When they got hero they all appear to be glad they came, for the climate is balmy, flowers are fragrant, straw berries toothsome and the cash of the Louisiana State Lottery company ac- ceptable.
 Messrs. Goddard and Mock were among the last band of pilgrims tc this Mecca of the fortune hunter. Both were interested in the fractional part of ticket 5i,57o, which Tuesday March lS, drew tho first capital priz, of &3o0, ,ooo, and they divided Sl5,oot between themselves. Both are idcnti- fled with the business of East Sag inaw, Mir. Goddard being dealer ir wines and liquors, while Mir. Mock Ii an engineer on the Flint X Pere Mar. quette railroad.
 Michigan can now justly claim to be champion state prize winner in The Louisiana State Lottery. Within tho past year and half Muskegon through Charles J. Hermann and Mir and Mrs. John Campbell has person. ally represented collected capital prizes, while Detroit, Grand Rapids and other points have drawn through banks and express companies. Messrs Goddard and Mock left for home last Wednesday, thoroughly satisfied with their visit to the land of fortune and flowers Ne,c Orleans Oa.) Picagun, 1 March 24.
