"When I was leaving for Europe few

About two years ago Mrs. Benjamin
Braughn, of Atlanta, Ca, cut the hair
from the head of her little two-year old
child, and saved one curl, about an inch
and a half in length. A few weeks later
the Child became i'll and died. Yester-

that the hair was clipped very close to
the head may account for the strange &C.

of all bitterness of the war, these veter-

full days of hardship and toll, in which
