FIvE-YEAR~OLD SKETCH ARTIST.
Teddy Bingham was but five years of age
when he passed through the barge office q
month ago with his parents, who went out
to the coal regions Of Pennsylvania. Teddy
was the only child of his parents and pre-
cocious youugster with his chalk and char
coal Each morning after the decks had
been sWabbed and dried by the sun's rays
Teddie took his coal, chalk aud red-raddle
and amazed and amused the steerage pas
sengers with his cartoons. His favorite
oicture was that OF Lochinvar and the beau
titul maid with whom he rode away on his
palfrey. Another was q crayon drawing
Of wicked Bill Sykes, the burglar, who took
little Oliver Twist to climb through area
windows and uutasten the doors.

comfortable Storage bunk.
She was years Of age, and very shy of
showing her slate TO strangers. One Sunday
morning she attended the church services
conducted by the captain of the steamer,

tne prayers and litany, the little girl drew
upon one side Of her slate picture of tho
mllkmad and the gentleman who boldly
asked her where she was going.
