A ragged, barefooted boy, crossing
sweeper, had dotted his cap to the Ouch
ess Of Sutherland in the hope Of recog-
milton, when he observed well dressed
but rakish looking man following her
across the street, as if trying to force
upon her attentions that were evidently
obnoxious to her. There was a look Of
distress on the duchess face.
'Scuse me, lady," said boys voice
beside her, "shall punch lis 'eadr'
She turned, looked down angrily upon
the little sweeper, and then said, smiling:
"Why, it's Jemmier'
She had remembered his name after
all, and at that moment the boy was hers,
body and soul. Without waiting for
another word he dashed off and turned
sort of violent ''cartwheew so adroitly
calculated that he landed with two very
muddy feet In the middle of the offensive
mans waistcoat.
Then, before the man could recover
from the shock, the boy had slapped him
with one muddy hand across the mouth
and with the other had deposited hand
full of the filthy compound on the back
of his neck.
The next moment the boy was in the
grasp of policeman, who dragged hm
away to the nearest police station. he
was just being charged by the constable
with having committed an assault when
the duchess entered. She spoke kindly
to the gamin and then explained the af-
fair to the inspector on duty.
At her request the boy was set at
liberty, and he staid only long enough
to say to the inspector:

the cab run over me leg."-London Cor.

when Booth Saved Young Iinooln,s Lie.

When Booth Saved Young Lincoln's Life.
1t was at Bowling Green, KY, during
the summer of 1877. Edwin Booth stood
upon a platform waiting for a train; so,
too, did a man unknown to the actor.
Buried In thought, this stranger left the
platform to walk upon the track, not
noticing an approaching engine. One
moment more and there would have been
an indistinguishable corpse. Silently,
suddenly, Edwin Booth seized this
stranger and lifted him almost bodily
upon the platform. So close came the
engine that it struck the strangers heels
as they left the track. "Do you know
who that man is?' asked Mr.. Ford, the
well known manager of Baltimore, who
witnessed the thrilling scene.
mo-" replied Booth.
Robert Lincoln, President Lincoln's
son."
This was the most satisfactory Incl
dent in Edwin Booths life. Sensitive as
a woman, he suffered untold fortunes
for the mad deed of his brother. Hehad
voted for Abraham Lincoln as president
and never voted before or after.-Kate

Cradles Hundreds of Years Ago.

In manuscripts Of the ninth and tenth
centuries we had pictures Of cradles
formed of part of tree trunk dug out,
with holes bored through the sides for
the passage Of straps intended to tie the
baby down In his bed. These dug out era
dies are still common In modern Greece.
When we come to consult the manu.
scripts and bas-reliefs Of the fifteenth
century, we notice that the cradles are
no longer mere baskets or beds on rock
ers, but little swinging beds suspended
between two pillars, the prototype Of the
modern bercelonnette. -Harper's Bazaar.
