The Print of the Tiny Hand.

To the world he was great rugged
fellow, with absolutely no sentiment
in his nature. His frame was the
frame of giant. Broad was his
chest, and his arms were like iron
His step was the step Of a lion, and
his glance was the glance of an eagle
And no danger could quicken the
quiet pulsing of his blood
And yet
By the freside of his home, on the
white-washed wall, was the print of a
little smutty hand.
Kiss it?
Yes. And the tears rolled down
his face like rain.
Never again would the soft cheek
be pressed against his own, and never
again would he see the golden curls
OF his little child.
No wonder, then, that not for worlds
would he wipe away the precious i'm.
print on the wall close by the fire.

Why Some st. Louis Girls Sent for
Reporter.


"When l was working on a St.
Louis paper" said an old newspaper
reporter over his midnight lunch, IL
dropped into the Office one evening
after dinner and the city editor ask
ed me to 60 up to Chouteau aven.
lie and see what was wanted. A card
had been received asking that a re-
porter should call. l thought that
perhaps there was a wedding, or
something of that sort, and so went
to the house. l rang the bell. A
young woman opened the door. Step
into the parlor, please she said. !
removed my overcoat and hat and
entered the parlor. There were three
young ladies sitting in the parlor,
which was handsomely furnished.
The young lady who opened the door
followed me into the apartment. l
sat down, and to make myself agree
able. chatted about some convention.
al topic. All the young ladies en-
gagged in the conversation, and before
/ was aware of it I found that an
hour had slipped by. No one had
said anything to me about what the
reporter was required for, and so at
last / asked:
"Well, miss, can you inform me
what it is that you wished reporter
for?'
"The young ladies at this all smil.
ed and looked at one another. /
thought that there was something
interesting and finally I asked boldly /:
"Well, I'm reporter for the
Democrat. What can do for you ?
ooh said the young lady who
opened the door. I'm sure there is
nothing
"Well, | said, why was the
presence Of reporter desired p
"All the young ladies smiled, and
at last one of them said:
"Why, Cousin Annie is engaged
to reporter, and, as we had never
seen reporter, we thought we would
write to the Office and have one call
so that we could look and see what
sort of person a reporter is.'"

A Lawyers Little Scheme Reacts on
Himself.


Himself.
One of the best gems of Allen OF
Mississippi, says Washington cor.
respondent, was dropped the other
night at Chamberlin's. Half a doz-
en- congenial spirits were seated to-
gether at table and one thing and
another led Allen to reel off a full
dozen of stories. The last one was
about his Tupelo constituent, Bill
Brown. Bill is All old farmer who
owns half the marshes around Aliens
native city. A year ago he bought
a young bull from lawyer. who is a
shrewd fellow and known throughout
Aliens district.
Brown was quiet sure of his bar
gain," said Allen $50 every time the
lawyer went that way he hedged SO
much that the lawyer grew cxtrava-
CANT in his praise"
II tell you. Brown" said he, as he
rode by the farm house, that is the
finest animal in the whole country.
Id ride any time two miles out Of
my way just to see it in your meadow.
l sold it TO you for s75, but reckon
it's worth"
How much is IL worth, cap'n ?"
said the farmer.
"Well, if was selling it to-day l
wouldn't let it 60 for a cent less than
$3.50. It's worth that and / congrat-
ulate you on shaving me so neatly"
Bill Brown felt pretty good over
the bull, and every time he saw the
lawyer they talked about it. the law
yer always repeating that he would
not sell it for less than $3.50.
The lawyer In the meantime had
become counsel for a Mississippi rail-
road and had to appraise and settle
ell difficulties for the corporation.
