A Policeman as a Conso1er.

There was surprised and very indig-
nant young woman in Fourteenth street,
near Union square, a day or two ago,
The sky was cloudy and the young wo-
man carried a costly and nicely rolled
umbrella. Wholly intent upon some
particular mission, she hurried along
with the umbrella almost trailing at her
side. She failed to observe the close
proximity of vicious street gamin I'M
til she felt sudden wrench on the UNI
brella, and looked down to find that the
stick had been broken in the middle.
and the grinning perpetrator of the mis-
chief was dancing with delight few
feet away. She related the incident.
and showed bluecoat her broken UNI
brella. He consoled her in this fashion:
eyes, lady, l know about that trick.
Them boys is terrors. They break a
dozen umbrellas just like that every
day. And they do it out of pure cussed-
ness, lady, for a fact" New York

A Point for Kite FLYERS.

A gentleman living upon the chill !"
in beautiful house, having gabled
roof, realizing that the temptation to
his children to fly kites from the roof is
almost too great to be resisted, has min
imized the danger to them in the follow
ing manner:
He has had large platform, probably
twenty feet square, constructed on his
housetop. This is inclosed in an iron
railing, high enough to prevent the lit
tie ones from climbing over and yet not
too high to interfere with the sport.
On almost every pleasant afternoon
during the kite season he is to be found
there flying his kite with the others. He
seems to enjoy the sport keenly, and at
the same time, during his absence, he
can rest satisfied in knowing that his
children will not fall off the housetop
and that he will not pay the penalty of
his enthusiasm in having to repair a
leaky tin roof.-New York Herald.

THE END.
nlr. Beeeher,s Love of pooks

When we had been few years in
Brooklyn Mr.. Beecher could in some de.
gree crafty his tastes for works of art,
gems, paintings and especially books.
He had always earnestly desired to pos
sess large, well selected library, and
now intended, by degrees, to secure it.
But temptations in a large bookstore
were almost irresistible, and sometimes,
before he was aware, he had INDUCED
beyond his intentions, and these mis-
takes were often the cause of great
amusement to us both.
Returning from some unusual ssraid. ~
he would come to me with the semblance
of great distress, but making laugh
able failure of it, and lament over the
great temptations that waylaid him in
every store. land where is human ma
ture so weak and helpless as in book
store" he would say. 'sThe appetite for
drink cannot be half so powerful as the
temptations which beset book lover in
a large, richly furnished bookstore"
"Well. how largely have you invested
in books today" I asked once.
"Dld say L had bought any? l was
speaking of the temptations. But you
know how little skill I have in figures.
When tempted to buy expensive books
I endeavor ito take account of stock
Gsn't that the proper business express
sionD and learn just how much can af-
ford to spend, but you know the bill
comes in much ahead of my reckoning.
You needn't laugh! Am to blame be-
cause I am not expert in figures?"
Of course knew there was a box of
books on the way. But no one could re-
sist the quaint humor mingled with
this pretense of penitence.-Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher in Ladies' Home Journal.

view, but he could hear the cheers of
Sherman's and Towards men as they
rushed against the most stubbornly de-
Tended part of the eneiny's line. And
looking away to the west, to his beloved
mountains, he could see the banner he
SO bravely fought for illuminated by
the declining sun, and flashing like
Liberty's torEl from the topmost crag of
Lockout mountain. If brave men must
die that others may live and be blessed,
no better time or place could have been
chosen than that in which Jack Hurd
left the mountains to dwell forever in
the white tents of the silent.
In 1866 Mrs. Hurd had the body
brought home and buried on the hillside
close to where her husband lay.
SAT fust Pike didn't mind the loss of
his hand at all, but he worked right on
in most sprisin way, and not wantin
to let me OF Minny do nawthin. And
he was clipper and cheerful till the
news ken up from Knoxville jest afore
Christmas that Jack was kilt. That
changed Pike plum round. Me and Min
ny NOSE fohgot our sorrer in tryin to
cheer Pike up, but though he didn't say
much and didn't never shed a teah,
could see his heart was dead bruk. He
got powahful thin, still he KEEP on
a-workin and a-helpin and a-wonderin-
jest like child-when we could bring
Jacks body back. And seein this, jest
as soon as the wah was ovah the old
neighbors that had lived through hit
went down to Chattanooga and toted
Jacks body home.

wus'n evan, and whenever he was miss
in we uns knowed he wus up at Jacks
grave. He couldn't keep away, and he

in his breast and fired it inter his own
heart on the grave eff hit hadn't been

tucly, and in places they had never
heard of before. And the old men would
say:
"Shes a-conlin, and hits powahful
slow, to be shuah, but the ole flags
a-comin to the mountains agin, and
she'll show up down thar Cha'lston way,
whar them doggon' rebels fust pulled
her down"
But the news of the battles troubled
Mrs. Hurd sorely. Thousands of men
kilt" she would say to Minny, sand all
brave men like our Jack and Pike, fo'
thar can't be any braver'n they is; some
thin tells me them two couldn't come
clah Of the dainjah."
And Minny would try to cheer her
mother with hope she did not herself
feel. If the story of Confederate disaster
came to the mountains, as it did after
Mill Springs, Donelson and Shiloh, then
the mother and daughter began to worry
about Pike, for they knew him too well
to believe that he had gone north with
Jack and joined the Union army. And
when the story of Bragg's invasion of
Kentucky and Kirby Smith s march north
from Cumberland Gap came and the hills
were filed with rumors of Union disas-
tiers, then Mrs. Hurd and Minny gave all
their thoughts to Jack, and all their
prayers were for the overwhelming defeat
of the Confederates.
The two women harvested their little
crop of corn, sweet potatoes and sorghum
and killed two pigs that had become fat
on mast, so that they We're safe against
famine for the winter. One night in No
vember, 1862, when the young winter
winds were having practice drill in the
mountains, Mrs. Hurd and Minny were
aroused by hearing a heavy step on the
boarded space between the two cabins,
followed by loud knock at the door.
"Who's thar?' demanded Minny, and
she sprang from the bed and seized the
rifle that was kept conveniently leaning
against the footbeard.
"Hits mer' replied hoarse and not
unfamiliar voice.
"Who is your"
"Pike!'
"Pike! Oh, God! Hits Pike!"
J Without waiting to light the lard lamp
at the ash covered fire, the mother and
daughter flung open the door together
and their arms were about the rain soak
ed form.
Pike closed the door and covered the
one window before he would let them
make light. This done, he laid aside
his belts and rifle and told his story while
Minny cooked him something to eat.

nc Jett sfofc OF 41leetl71 JACK up thar"
After leaving Jack near the Kentucky
line. Pike made his way to Bowling
Green, where, under the name of 'sPike
McCoy''-McCoy was his mothers maid
en- nane-he enlisted in the Forty-second
Tennessee. He had fought at Shiloh and
Cerinth, and was with Bragg on his raid
into Kentucky. He said in effect:
Il stuck by Bragg and fit as wells the
mex man till he scooted outen Kaintuck
and made TO- Aist Tennessee. L heerd
the boys sayin ez how our army was
gwine plum down to Knoxville, whar /
desarted from to git Jack away, and
whar ] know they'd shoot me eff SO be /
got back thar, so I've desarted agin, and
arter rest l think I'll go plum up to
Vaginny and take another name and
jine Lee"
Yes, Pike had heard of Jack up in
Kentucky. Jack had a company of
scouts 'and followed we uns plum down
Crab Orchard way, whar he raised mer-
ry old HI with one of Bragg's wagon
trains"
After Pike had put on dry clothes and
eaten like a very hungry man, his
mother made bed for him by the fire,
for she could not trust him out of her
sight, and then she and Minny lay down,
but they could not sleep, so great was
their joy and anxiety for the Confeder-
ate son and brother.
Taking furlough without consulting
their superior officers was peculiar to
these mountaineers in both armies, and
they invariably returned to duty after
they had had their visit out. But Pike
Hurd's case was different; there was a
reward still standing for his capture,
and it would have been paid to some
one had he not furloughed himself be-
fore reaching Knoxville.
Yielding to the prayers of his mother
and sister Pike, made his home in the
cave up the mountain. Here his Union
neighbors visited him and faithfully
kept his secret till spring, but to quote
Mrs. Hurd: "The worry was powahful
sight wus'n whin Pike was away. He
couldn't help Minny and me ez he want
ed ter, and every night whin he went
up thar to the cave with his rifle over
his shoulder somehow felt ez eff we uns
wouldn't never see him alive again, fo'
thar was lots and lots of spies in the
hills. And then whin daylight come
and Pike he'd show up all right hit alters
seemed ez of he'd been gone away off fo'
a long time. and Minny and med make
fuss ovah him and take on ez eff he
hadn't been nigh all the time"
In the spring of 1888 news Of the law
less exploits Of q guerrilla leader, known
as '"Tinkes Dave Beatty spread through
the mountains.
Pike Hurd had no fancy for such
service, but at the same time that Beatty
and his Partisan rangers" came into
notoriety, it became known to certainty
that the Union troops in blue waves
were pouring through the Gap and into
East Tennessee.

Monstrosities in Art.

1t is a remarkable example of the &C
commodating disposition of our sense Of
beauty that though we are well instruct
ed in the principles of morphology, our
eyes are not more offended by some of
these false creatures, such as the winged
figures Of Nike and the angels, and it
would perhaps be pedantic and idle to
forbid artists these time honored, rather
symbolical representations, of which the
greatest masters of the best periods
have only made very moderate use.
But such indulgence has it's limits.
