Who Wants Pretty Girl Baby P

If anybody wants a pretty girl
baby, with coal black eyes and fair
skin, now is the time to apply,
Judge Tyler has just one of that
kind left more then he has any use
for, but will not turn it over to any
old bachelor. 1t is the little waif re.
ferred to by the LEAF-CHRoNICLE
several days ago, which was left
with George Penick's wife, the good
old black nanny near Guthrie,
who turned it over to court. Judge
Tyler paid the old woman for her
kind attention to the little wait, and
sent the baby to Mrs. Lee, who
lives Al the Driscoll place on Frank
lin street east of the double pond, to
keep until he can find a home for it
with some one who is willing to
adopt the infant aud care for it. This
is the opportunity for some kind
hearted lady who wants to perform a
humane and christian act, and find
an object that Will fill her tenderest
affections.

The oonvent still Holds Her.

ST.. LOUIS, Jan 4.-Sister Camena,
an inmate of the Convent OF the
Good Shepherd, made desperate
but unsuccessful attempt to escape
from that institution Thursday even
ing. She Is protege of the wife of
Millionaire Kerins.
In regard to the abobve paragraph,
which appeared in this paper of Jan.
A, sent us by the American Press AS
sociation of Cincinnati, the Superior
ess of the Good Shepherd Convent,
st. Louis, writes as follows:
On the oath of July, 1890, girl,
giving her name as Sarah Ingram
and her age as nineteen, entered our
relormatory. We received her at
the earnest request of some kind non.
Catholic ladies, who met her at the
hospital at Eureka Springs, Ark,
They, learning her utter restitution
and total unfitness to earn an honest
living, thought our asylum the best
place for her. She claimed to be In
dian by descent, and certainly she
had all the vices of the race, but none
airy with us to change the names of
girls when they ent'r our house IN
order that, should they reform, they
can return to the outside world, and
the fact OF being once an inmate of
our house remains secret. TO this
girl we gave the name of COen0.
She had no claim on the name of
Sister beyond that of all womankind
as common descendants OF Adam.
Had the girl home, or were she In
the least calculated to earn her liv-
ing, we would not have retained her
with US. Yet we did not dream that
her aneXiety to leave the institution
would cause her to attempt to escape,
nor would she have done so on the
Goth of December had she not been
angry and allowed her wild Indian
nature TO obtain the mastery. On
the day in question, she climbed the
wall on which she sal, ready to Jump
when discovered. This was at
O'Clock in the afternoon, and two Of
the girls ran out to prevent her from
running away, AS our order is
clustered you can understand what
an absurd blunder the dailies com
mitted when stating that the Sisters
ran into the street. This Is attribut-
ed to the fact that the two girls
who went outside were "conse
crates" that is they promise to re-
main certain length of time and
wear little white cap and BLACK
dress. Coena is still with us, as in
this inclement weather we do not
feel justified in turning her out into
the street.

Obituary.
To The Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle:

To The Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle:
In the death of our good neighbor,
Friend Charles Bohannan McCuddy,
we lose one of our best men, one who
is deeply regretted and will be sadly
missed, In many of the finest traits
of a mans character he was better
than any of us, being always true
and devoted friend, a loving and affec
tionate husband and father; always
tender and affectionate to little chill
dren and all of Gods weaker creation.
He has been seen to carry a little boy
all day on his back, while hunting, so
that the little fellow might enjoy the
sport and not be left behind. He
would leave his own wife and child to
go to a friend to help nurse sick
child, and there was no tenderer
nurse. He would ride hours through
the pitchy darkness, mud and rain
and cold for the doctor and for medi-
cine.
Just few weeks before his death
there came to one of the tenants on
his farm a poor old friendly negro.
He was taken sick with pneumonia.
Charlie nursed him carefully through
his sickness, making him bedstead
and bed to lie upon, and sent him off
restored. Charlie was "Christian
worker" indeed, and in truth.
To us who enjoyed the hospitality of
his home and his friendship there was
nothing so delightful. In every ac-
ton he showed that it was more
pleasant to him ito give than to re-
ceive,n
His treatment of his wife, and her
father and mother and brothers was
80 very nice and affectionate that they
loved him devotedly, and all mourn
for him as David did for Jonathan.
81 am distressed for this my brother
Jonathan. Very pleasant hast thou
been unto me. Thy love to me was
wonderful, passing the love of
women" May we all emulate his
noble character. +. B. II.

Neither of Them Got Licked.

Dan Moody was a raftsman on the
Susquehanna river, and it was his boast
that be could lick any man on the rive,
from the mouth of the Chemung tc
Havre de Grace. Dan lived at Towanda
in Bradford county, and finally grew
old and rheumatic. In his old age 'sthe
boys" used to put stranger up. to ques,
ton Dan about his. many fights, atd after
the old man got thoroughly interested
and was boasting freely of his youthful
exploits this question was sprung or
him:
"But, Uncle Dan, didn't anybody ever
lick your"
"No, sir, never got licked in my en-.
durin life."
The next question was: "But, Uncle
Dan, you came near getting licked once
didn't you? Seems to me I've heard that
you came awful near getting licked just
once. Tell us about that, won't you?'
The old man had to be pressed to get
the story out of him, but he would tel
it occasionally, and here it is: "Once
was haulin load of boards along TIE
road from mill up on Sugar creek. I,
was an awful hot day, and goin past a
piece of woods when the shade only
came half way across the road met a
feller in buggy. Turn out says he

jumped down often the load and he goi
outen his buggy, and we went at it. and
we fit and fit and fit, but neither of us
seemed to get the best of it" Here the
old man would pause moment until he
was asked:
"But which Of you turned out. Uncle
Dany Then he would reply:
''Oh, / did; we fit SO long that tho sur

PRICE THREE CENTS.
Four American Girls in Paris.

There is a chafmingly picturesque
sketch in the Boston Globe of four girls
who went to Paris to study. They
wished to learn art, music and French
and had only moderate means. They
laid their cute and pretty Yankee heads
together and decided that cooperation
would solve their difficulty, as it has
solved many greater one and will do
again.
They resolved on cooperative house.
keeping. Taking plenty of time to look
about, they rented at length a neat, un-
furnished fiat. French flats have the
kitchen usually almost entirely fur
nished while the main room has hard
wood floor and mirror always over the
mantelpiece. The girls paid for the fiat
fifteen dollars a month. They found
they could spare collectively eighty dol
lars for furnishing, but four determined
and handy girls made that go long
way.
They took their meals French fashion,
coffee and roll first thing in the morn
ing. This was easy enough. Then if
one Of them went out daily she got her
noon meal out; if she remained at home
she prepared a slight one for herself,
whatever she wished. Thus two meals
were off their hands and minds. The
dinner in the evening was more difficult
to manage. They took turns in prepar-
ing that, however. In Paris almost
everything can be had already cooked,
even to vegetables, and fruit is cheap
and abundant. They had woman come
in for an hour every evening to wait on
table and wash the dishes. Thus they
had style about their dinner service
with the best, and they only paid the
woman six cents an hour.
They mostly kept their rooms clean
themselves, and took delight in having
them clean and shining. The best part
Uf their social life was their reception
evening. They had French evening
too. Some young French girls desired
to learn English. They wished to learn
French. The French girls came to see
them on their evenings at home, and
each practiced the language that was
unfamiliar to her. Thus conversing
progress was rapid, and the Americans
soon were able to talk French to one an
other They found by and by that they
lived comfortably and happily, securing
all reasonable enjoyments at an expense
of twenty-five dollars month each.
They studied what they came to learn,
but the best lesson of all is contained in
the following sentence: "When people
who want to cooperate have learned
when to let one another alone, the diff
sulties of the operation are greatly dis,
minished."

Since the day when Levi Fuller's
dead weight caused the republican
majority in this state to fall 10000
from the accustomed figure with a
dull and sickening thud upon listen
ing republican ears all over the coun-
try, his mercenary cohorts have been
as dumb as oysters. His hired man
ayers now make no sign, and not a
finger is lifted, so far as the public
can see, to make or get a vote for
Benjamin Harrison. What does this
mean !? In other presidential years
vigorous efforts have been kept up
until the second Tuesday of Novem-
ber to secure the last vote possible
for our presidential tickets. This
year there is dead silence. Not a
speech is made, not a procession
moves. Committee work appears to
be entirely abandoned and no arrange
ments are being made ito get out a
full vote. This is queer state of
affairs which is attracting no little at
tention, and people are asking
"What's the matter :" It's not far
to seek. Levi Fuller don't want
Harrison to get more votes or larger
majority than he did-'sthat's what's
the matter ?" And our high toned
state committee and all the little COM
mittees and camp followers have
heard whispering in their ears to
let up and so save the pride of the
great poet and statesman whose livery
they wear. Now republicans, will
you play into the hands of these sell
fish and unprincipled tricksters ? If
not you must go to the polls on your
own hook, in spite of these official
discouragments and treachery, and
plump for Benjamin Harrison. Don't
forget it.

A Pretty Good Definition.

A pupil in a public school having an
swered the question, "What is cynic?''
by saying "a cynic is philosopher who
leads dogs life," writer in the Bos-
ton Journal remarks, Evidently the
pupil had confused the words 'cynic'
and canine and attempted to bring in
something of both" Evidently nothing
of the kind. "Cynic" is derived directly
from the Greek '.kuon" and "kunikos," I"
meaning dog" and "doglike;" and, in
fact, ''canine" is derived from Latin
word Of the same meaning. Undoubt-
edly the teacher had explained the ori-
gin Of "cynic," and thus the association
of dog with the specific meaning of the
word got lodgment in the child's mind.
Anyhow, as The Journal suggests, the
definition in not bad one.-New York
Tribune.
