In circular Mr.. Carter. who is a hard

nounces the beauties of the land which
he is about to sell.
This circular Mr.. Carter has adj
dressed to every member of Congress and
the Senate and to every Governor and
prominent man in the United States.
Accompanying it is map of the tract to
be sold. Speaking OF the circular, Mr..
Carter, whose patriotism is unquestioned,
said:

am compelled to do SO. and the reason
why I got up these circulars was for the
purpose of quickening action on the part
of Congress. ] have received an offer
from New York brewing concern which
is desirous of utilizing the pure water and
the water power for their purposes. But
TO think that brewery should be erected
on the property is exceedingly repugnant
10 me. l would much rather that the
property were cut np into building lots,
or that some magnificent hotel were built
there and the historic old ground kept as
park in good repair for pleasure parties
and sightseers. 1t is a crying shame that
the famous grounds should be lost to the
country. would rather, of course, sell
it to the Government than to any private
individual or syndicate, not knowing to
what uses the latter would put it. My
wife and myself find the property too
costly to keep, and We are forced to part
with it. ] have written personally to

THE BIRTH OF sPRING

All night the sobbing wind kept pace
With the sad rains unmeasured tramp;
All night on natures patient face
Cleaned lightning's weird and fitfui lamp
But sunheams rent the clouds in twain;
A soft broeze kissed the expectant morn;
A bluebiri sang witching strain,
A crocus bloomed;-and spring was born

telegram when l come past the plat
form
The operator gave the man the key, but
instantly reached for it again as he ex-
claimed: The gravel tralu-it is up the
road"
Never mind. III scare it on siding.
You have the message ready
Quickly the stranger ran to the switch
and turned it for the siding. A yard man
noticed him, but at the distance thought
him the station agent, who, at the time,
was away from his office, fortunately for
the strangers plan. The engine re-
sp0rded to the throttle and came out on
the main track slowly-thc yardman
looking after it in astonishnent, then
starting on run to see what mad man S
impulse seemed to control the man at the
lever? The telegraph operator was rapid
in his movements, and when the engine
steamed past the platform on the track
that led to the county seat he delivered
to the man, whom he now regarded as \
hero, the message properly sealed and
authenticated.
"God bless you," he called after the
unknown, land save you from the gravel
train"
The road to the county seat was a
single track and the gravel train sent out
to keep the road-be clear of drifts was
liable to be collided with upon any curve
by the engine running without schedule
OF orders, but the stranger merely smiled
as he pulled the throttle lever further
back. The engine dashed up the track,
the engineer standing in the doorway of
his home and looking at it aghast, while
the station agent and train dispatcher
fastened to the telegraph Office to learn
the reason of the engines departure on a
"wild Cat" trip.
The engineer rushed up to the platform
where stood the operator explaining to
the dispatcher how it happened that the
stranger took out the engine.
"But he will not get through" said
the dispatcher, "fcr he has no fireman.
Yes, he has, exclaimed the engineer,
''he's doin' the tirin too. He's just lettin'
hcr run, he'll just fire and whistle"
And, as if to confirm the engineers
statement, the scream of the steam
reached their ears-the whistle shrieking
a frantic demand for clear track.

REDFERN'S LATEST
Four Very Stylish and Becom-
ing Garments.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Some New and Nobby Designs That Must
Find Favor With the
Fair Sex.
For THE SUNDAY HERALD

AT the present season of the year, when
winds and dull skies are the rule, and
CLEANS of sunshine the exception, there
can be no possible probable shadow OF
doubt'' Gas Don Alhambra says in 1.-THE
Gondoliers'') that the best dressed women
in London are those who a fleet tailor made
garments. Nothing so neat in the early
spring, so trim, or in such perfection of
good taste, as well-cut, neatly finished,
tahor-lnade gowns and coats. To look well
however, such garments must originate
with good firm, and must bear the unmis-
taxable cachet of perfect taste and novel
design. Such novelties as these can al
ways be found at Redfern's world famed
establishment on Fifth avenue, Madison
Square, where L saw the originals of the
gowns and coats which are shown below.

SLEEPING WITH BABY.

The free from care, and ease-taking old bachelor who, in his momentary lapse oi wisdom, contemplates matrimony, should at the same time reflect on the remote but contingent possibility of his having to sometime sleep with baby should he marry. Years of experience of martydom of this kind make me feel it my duty to set forth the misery arising from con- tingency of this kind.
 The baby, if he happens to be lusty little fellow of eight or ten months, will decline to stay covered, and will also de. cline to allow you to keep yourself cover ed. He indicates his wishes in this direc- ton by keeping his little pink heels going all night, a good part of the time on your back.
 He will also insist on lying ''crosswise, \ "endwise, :" s'cat-a cornered, "bias," or in any other position but that which; will lgi3e you . few inches of room in the hed and a few minutes sleep, His infantiie needs will begin to manifest themselves q about o'clock in the morning, at which witching hour yon will go blundering around in the dark for drink of water. | He will howl steadily and cheerfnlly from until 3 o'clock, and will kick you furiously between thes shoulder blades with every howl It will not be of any use for you to pat him tenderly and COG out ssthere, there" He is right there and knows it, and intends that you shall know it.
 It is of no use to say, coaxingly, "Whai does papa's baby want ?''
 Papa's baby doesn't want anything but to howl, and he is gratifying that amiable desire 10 the utmost.
 It is of no use to add 10 your judgment day lists of enormities by swearing. And if your wife has been calmly passive thro' it all, she will develop an amazing degree of spirit if you dare lay the weight of your finger in anger on that s'poor, dear. little, innocent, darling sweetness"
 He will tqnirm all night as though he were first cousin to an angle worm. He will journey around all over the bed, both under and on top of tlie coverings. You are no sooner asleep than one oi his moist little heels is planted firmly on your nose or in yonr mouth, and. later on, l with childhood's scorn of decency and de corum, he will eit astride youfs neck, and grow green and purple with rage when gently made to sit elsewhere.
 Should he fall out of bed andsyell loud enough to be fieard all over your ward your wife will say she firmly believes tha you pushed him out and that you are no fit to be father anyhow. \ An animated dialogue of purely personal an.' private na ture will follow this remark.
 But when the registering little chap final ly ''snuggles up" to you and goes f0 ,sleel with one of his velvety little cheeks clos to your own, and one of his warm, Sd arms around your neck, yon find yonl heart growing very soft and tender toward him, and you would gle.handed wage war against host or lay down your life | for love of him.
