A Little yTheedier.

"There never WIS grandma half so gOod!
He whispered, While beside her chair he stood,
And laid lis rosy check,
With manner that was meek,
Against her dear old face in loving mood.
There never was q nicer grandma born!
j know some little boys must be fororn
Because they've none like you;
/ wonder what Id do -
Without grandma 5 kiss s night and NORM
"There never was a dearer grandma-there!
He kissed her and he smOOthed her SNOW
white hairl
Then her rufhed cap
And nestled in her lap,
While grandma, smiling, rocked her old
armchair.
aWhen I'm man what lots to you I'll bringl
A horse and carriage and a watch and ring.
A IL grandmas are so nice!
Just here he kissed her twice.
And grandmas give boy most anything!"
Before his dear old grandma could reply
This 10y looked up and, with a rOgush eye,
Then whispered in her ear,
That nobody might hear:
"Say, grandma, have you any more mince
pieY"

OMISSIONS.

It isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's th- thing you leave uudone,
Which gives you a bit of heart-ache
AT the SITTING OF The sdn-
The tender word forgotten,
The letter on cid not write,
The flower you might have sent. dear,
Are J our haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers Way,
The bit of hearLsoue counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of the hand. dear.
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time nor thought for.
With trouble enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness,
So easily out of mind,
These chances to be angels
Which even mortaiS find
They come in night aud silence,
Each chill. Teproacbfu wrath,
When hope l. faint and tagging,
ADs blight has dropped on faith.
For life is ID too short, dear.
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow comp ssion
That tarries until 10 late.
And it's not The thing on do. dear,

When gives you the bitter heart-ache
At the setting of The sun.

Fielden, SchWah, Neebe.

JOLIET, Ill.-In view of the fact that
petition for the pardon of Fielden, Schwab
aud Neebe, the imprisoned Anarchists,
has been extensively circulated in Chica-
go during the past week, it may not be
out of place to state the condition of the
supporters of the red flag now in duraDce
vile. Fielden is as fat and hearty as
ever. I'm prisonment has not told upon
him in the least; his cheeks are as red and
rosy as in the days when he drove stone
truck and mounted the platform to spout
Anarchy whenever called upon; he is a
stone-cutter and d good convict and does
his work well. Schwab is still the same
long, gaunt-looking man, though his
beard is gone; he still retains the pair of
spectacles he used to wear, and is the
most intellectual looking one of the Trio;
he is employed in the prison bakery
making bread. Neebe is model convict
and one of the hardest working men in
the prison harness shop. AS whole, the
imprisoned Anarchists are among the
best and most willing convicts that are
confined at Joliet. They labor faithfully,
and the only glimpse OF outside life they
ever receive is when their wives and chill
dren come and see them for few hours,
once every eight weeks.

Gen. Tayior's Famous Order.

Tn the news recently | read an &C
count Of man of good memory, nov
eighty-six years old, Il soldier in Gen.
Taylor's army at the battle of Buena
Vista. That retired veteran now lives
in California, whittier he took his ex-
cellent memory on going to live on the
Pacific slope. He states that he was
very near his commanding officer when
Gen. Taylor gave the renowned order,
"a little more grape, Capt. Bragg!
l knew Gen Bragg intimately during
our life as cadets at West Point. and
during his after-sojourn on earth.
Shortly after the conquest of Mexico
he dined at my table in Nev York,
when tae topic of conversation very
naturally turned upon the recent I'M
pleasantness with our sister Republic.
''Braxton, said |, 'what IS the
truth about the little more grape
storv?" The story, as told" replied
he, lis not true. Old Zach told me,
in his slight stammering way: 'Gi-gi-
give 'em HI. Capt. Braggr He did
not mention the fruit of the vine at all. "

THE PRINCE A LOVER OF PEACE.
He Will Pursue the Policy of Bismarck Fan
Emperor William.

WAsHINGToN.-Dr. Fritz Witte, who
has been here visiting the city as the
guest of Congressman Guenther, laugh
to scorn the popular American impress
sion that the young crown prince is
hot-headed fellow who would rush the
empire into war. He says the young
man is of Leaceful disposition, but like
his grandfather, every inch a soldier.
When he accedes to the throne, he will
keep the army up to the present high
standard of excellence, but only as 9
means of compelling the peace of Eu
rope. He is not dangerous man TO
the throne. Besides, Bismarck still livei
and after him will come his son, who is
trained diplomat and lover of peace
Moreover, the entire foreign Offices are
filled with young men who have been
traiped under Bismarck, and his policy,
and that of the late emperor, as well as
of the present emperor, will be carried
out for many years after they are dead
and forgotten by the world.

knowing turkeys

Last summer Mrs. James Mcconnell, of
Cadiz, O., had a brood of fine young tur-
keys carght in hail-storm, by which
several of them had each leg broken.
The grass being high near the house she
could only find one of the unfortunates,
which she picked up carefully, and with
splipters placed on each side of the frac-
ture bound up the broken part. A day
or two passed, and she had forgotten the
incident, when what was her astonish-
ment one afternoon to see approaching
her in the yard the old turkey with her
brood -ive-with broken legs. These,
under the leadership of the one che had
operated upon, came chipping up to her
and would not leave until she had bound
each ones fractured leg.
