Buying the Baby.

"Three dollars and ten, eleven,
twelve cents" said Lucy; "what
shall we do with it, Grsce?'
The children had their money-box
on the steps one warm morning in the
early springtime, and were counting
over the money they had saved.
"Gertie SAow has a baby brother,
and we haven't; so let's buy a broth
err" answered Grace, and looking
down the street, they espied the doc
tors buggy and little black horse
coming leisurely along. Outlnto the
street rushed the two children and
shouted to the doctor to stop, with
voices which gave good evidence as to
the strength of their lungs.
"Will you have my money or my
life, or both?" said DR.. Graystone,
as he pulled up his horse.
1--WE want brother" piped both
voices at once.
"Well, upon my word said the
surprised doctor. "Do you think |
have one IN my pocket?"
"Have you any at your Officer"
asked Lucy, who being the elder, was
by that right spokeswoman.
"Well, NO; I'm all out just at
present." the doctor replied; "but
perhaps l could find you one"
''How much do they cost" was the
next question.
"Boys are worth $40, and girls $8,
but 1 can find a nice little black one
for S."
"We don't want black one, we
want a little white brother, and we
have So. IL now"
"Well," said the doctor, preparing
to drive on, "you let me know when
you are ready, and I'll try to find you
a white one."
The children told their mother of
the bargain that they had made with
DR.. Graystone, and in the summer
she said to them one day: "How
much money have you now, chill
dren?" After consulting the money
box, they declared that the firm had
on hand 1925 cash.
"Then think we had better be

about getting some new warm clothes
to put ON that little brother; so to-
morrow we will go to Boston and buy
some pretty things"
The next day being bright and sun
shiny, mamma and her little daugh-
tiers went to Boston, where they
bought dainty dresses, beautifully
embroidered fannels, warm little vests
and lovely silk socks, besides many
more things. Grace insisted upon
buying a most bewildering monkey,
that walked, climbed and jumped, as
she said, che must have something
pretty"
About Christmas time the children
had saved the desired $40, and it was
amusing as we'll as touching to see
the singleness of purpose with which
they had turned their faces from all
temptation of candy and popcorn;
for rather than not keep their contract
with DR.. Graystone they would for
ever have renounced the beforesaid
luxuries. Christmas eve they went
to their grandmother's, where the
Christmas tree bore its wonderful
fruit for all good little grandchildren
there never were any naughty ones
in this family-and Lucy and Grace
found many things that they wished
for, but decided not to buy, because
it would have taken some from the
precious $40. They stayed all night
at grandmother's, and in the morning
when their father came for them he
seemed very happy, and laughed
when he kissed grandmother, and
said, lit is boy"
"Well, Children" he said, "the
doctor brought your baby last night,
and is coming this morning for his
money, SO get your things on and
come home
Off scampered the children, and
had their things on in trice; and,
as for walking homel Why, they just
flew. Good Mrs. Bourne met them
at the door, aud said; "You must be
very quiet, children, for the baby was
SO little and cold that mamma has to
stay in bed to keep it warm; but you
may come quietly and just look at
him."
So the children tiptoed into their
mothers room, and, sure enough,
cuddlsd down close to their mothers
side was little tiny baby, with tiniest
hands and such cunning nose! The
children paid the doctor for their
baby, and he invested the money in

BY United Press.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 16.
The members of the committee ap-
pointed by the conference of Vir-
ginia Republicans at the Ebbitt
House last night were busy to-day
drafting, revising, and then issuing
the call for the mass-convention at
Roanoke. Telegraphic permission
was received authorizing the use of
the name of several prominent dis
senters who were unable to attend
the conference, and then the call
was formally made public tonight.
1t is signed by Col. H. c. Parsons,
Maj. Edward Mcmahon, Gen. Jno.
E. Roller, Col. Chas. c. Tomp-
kins, Chas. K. Lee, Henry L.
Lyman, Jacob Yost, Geo. E. Bow
den, and Maj. 0. E. Hine.
The document entirely ignores
Gen. Mahones craftsmanship of the
Republican State Committee, andre
fers to him as being responsible for

ing Republicans to support the can

men signing the call, two of the
number, Col. Parsons and Maj.

the war, and Gen. Roller, Maj Nc
Mahon, and Col. Tompkins were in
the Confederate service. Chas. x.

THE SPANISH FLOOD.
Horrible Details Of its Deadly Work.
Loss Of Property Estimated
at $2,500,00O.
Ry Cable

MADRID, Sept. 16. A despatch
from Consuegra says that the place
presents the veritable aspect of a
city Of the dead. The awful oppres-
sive silence is broken by nothing
except the noise from the jolting
wheels of the dead cars as they
rumble from house to house in
search of corpses, which, when
found, are hurriedly trundled off
for burial in the great trenches
which are dug for their. remains.
There is no time now for weeping
of relatives or mourning of friends
over the remains of departed loved
ones. The dead menace the liv-
ing-therefore the, dead must be
hustled under earth with the ut
most dispatch, in order that the liv-
ing may not soon become of their
number. Ia one building alone
twenty-seven corpses were found, a
fact which may serve to convey
some idea of the grim horror of this
most terrible catastrophe to the
minds of even the most Indifferent
The loss to property is roughly
estimated at not less thar
$2,5OO,OOO.

G.. SNYDER THE MAN,
A White Tramp Charged With the
Third Greek Disaster.

A special from Atlanta, Ca, dat
ed the 10th, says: Elias Snyder, a
white man claiming Cincinnati as
his birthplace, is held in Oconee
Jail under suspicion Of having caus-
ed the wreck of the Western North
Carolina train near Statesville, in
which twenty-three lives were lost.
1t will be recollected that the acci-
dent was caused by the unspiking
Of a rail at the end of Bostian's
bridge. The train came rushing
along and rolled down into the
deep embankment. On the previous
trip of the train two tramps were
put off near the bridge. They
threatened as they stepped off that
they would be heard from again.
Ten days ago the citizens Of the
northern part of Oconee Co., Ca,
were greatly annoyed by stranger
who seemed to live wild in the
woods. Bailiff Worthen yesterday
arrested the man, who shortly after
wards asked the bailiff if he had
heard any news from North Caro-
lima. The bailiff told him of the
Statesville wreck. "Was the con-
ductor killed." asked the stranger,
with apparent interest. When told
that he was the stranger smiled and
said he would like to read the story.
He did so as soon as he reached
Worthen's house, not lifting his eyes
from the page until he had finished it.
The stranger gave his name as Elias
Snyder, from Cincinnati. He had
been to Florida, got out of money
at Macon, stole a ride to Atlanta
and was put on the public works
there in June last for vagrancy
After leaving Atlanta he went t
North Carolina, but refuses to tel
where he was while there. Th'
man was put in Watkinsville jail t.
await news from North Carolina
There is reward outstanding from
the Richmond and Danville Compa
, mp of $4,000 for the wrecker.
