Just after the battle of Perryville in Oc-

appointments to baptize some children.
There was a large crowd, and sturdy
southern matron brought her four children

Union preacher, laying his hand on the
boys head "Simon Bolivar Buckner,"

come over the congregation, but the brave
preacher went on with his duty.

order Pierre Gustave Toutant Beaure

while Dr.. Savage became red in the face.
He baptized the young namesake Of the
great engineer-soldier and went on with
the ceremony Name this one" he gasped,
reaching for the third. ALBERT Sydney

became audible and the preacher apoplep

Formerly the shield was adorned with
costly quetzal feathers, only small frag

has an interesting note on the subject,
speaks Of similar old Mexican shields in

Here is description of September day,
taken from 1.-THE First Crossing OF Green
land"
On the morning Of Sept. 4, the weather
was glorious and the air still. There had
been a light fall of snow in the night. The
sun shone over the infinitely monotonous
snowfield, which, rising almost impercep-
tibly, stretched away and away in front OF
US like one huge white carpet, glittering
with diamonds, soft and fine in texture ~
down, and laid in long, gentle undulations
which the eye could scarcely follow.
But In the afternoon the aspect of our
landscape changed entirely. A biting wind
got up from the northwest which drove
the snow before it in one overwhelming
whirlwind. The sky then cleared com
pletely and the weather grew colder.
The wind increased In strength; it was
bitter work toiling along against 1t, and
we had to be careful not to get badly frozen.
First my nose hardened, but discovered
this in time to save it by rubbing it well
with snow. l thought myself safe now,
but then felt queer, chilly feeling under
my chin, where found that my throat was
quite numb and stiff. BY more rubbing
and wrapping some mittens and other
things around my neck, / put matters
straight there
But then came the worst attack of all, an
the wind found its way in through my
clothes in the region Of my stomach, and
gave rise TO terrible pains. This was met
by the use of a soft felt hat as chest pro
tector, and wa, now armed at all points.
My companions suffered as did, and the
bodily comforts of our tent were more well
come than usual that evening.

Mondays change of bill at Lothrop's
Museum will be the five-act melodrama,
"Nobodys Claim" 1t is from the pen of
that clever and painstaking American
playwright, Edwin "A. Locke. The action
of the piece is among the mining camps OF
Nevada and is full of opportunities for an
actress with ability TO do creditable work.
There can be no doubt that Miss Ethel
possesses the ability TO ably portray the
heroine in "Nobody's Claim" The lead
ing male role, that of Ward Devereaux, is
assigned to Charles Barringer, SO it can
safely be presumed that Mr.. Locke's play
will have a smooth and interesting rend-
ering next week. Popular prices rule at
