a contemporary paragrapher speaks in
commendation Of he current disposition
to furnish dining rooms with high-back
chairs. Dinring-room chairs ought to be
thoroughly comfortable, but nothing is
gained by making them high enough to
support the head, or in running little
steeples up a.oog each side of them in the
vicinity of the sitter's ears The head is
too busy IN the dining room to need much
support. II the chair backs reach up to
the shoulder-bades they are quite high
enough. If they go farther than that they
tempt diners to slumber at the table, which
is bad manners. Another ob lection to the
very high backed chairs is that walters or
Mattresses of ordinary stature Il nd them
a serious hinderance to the prompt dis
tribution of food. A short waitress can
not take short cut over a chair back four
or five feet high. She must steer her
dishes around the corners Of such chairs,
and that is more of an inconvenience and
detiiment to good waiting than most diners
realize. One day this summer at a hotel
where high backed, twinspire chairs pre-
vailed, a waiting damsel made a pathetic
complaint Of the extreme WEAKNESS she
had in her arms because of the constant
lifting of dishes over the high backs Of
the dining room chairs. Harper's Weekly.

but finding the woman on her guard he
finally went away to report to the mill
tary authorities. Thanksgiving day
came-cold, bleak and flutter of snow
flakes in the air. Little Jim had been
shot just three weeks before, but such
was the nursing that on this day he was
helped out Of bed and bolstered up in
the big rocking chair to eat Thanksgiv-
ing dinner. Tears came to his eyes as
he saw what efforts the woman had put
forth and how meager the results.
Mother, children and soldier were gath
cred at the table when there came
clatter Of hoofs and elanking Of sabers,
and dozen troopers in gray galloped up
to the door. At their head was ser
geant, who pushed his way in and seized
wife and children and kissed them be-
fore he looked at the pale faced man at
his table. He was followed by cor
poral who was scarcely inside the door

away. Not horseman passed. A shift
Of war had left that cabin the center of
neutral ground, and the armies were
preparing to go into winter quarters.
There were days and nights when Lit
Jim was out of his head and raving Of
home and mother. There were days and
nights when his life hung on thread.
He had the care his own mother would
have given him. Many and many .
blessed her that she had come down from
the old home to nurse him back to life.
By and by the crisis passed, and the SOL
der knew where he was and the situa-
ton outside. He knew more than the
good woman would have him. That lit
tie family was being put to sore straits
to find him such food as an invalid must
have. and he heard the children cry out
at night because they had not enough
covering to keep them warm. After q
few days, when he found there was no
chance to get word into the Federal line,
he begged of the woman to deliver him
UP to the Confederate authorities and re-
lieve herself of the burden. She indig-
nantly refused. and the children, who
had insisted on calling him Uncle Daniel.
cried at the thought Of his going away.
Pretty soon a new peril threatened.
The neutral territory was given up to
bushwhackers and guerrillas. One day a
long haired, evil looking man, whose
garb was that of farmer, and who was
probably the would be assassin Of Little
Jim, was seen lurking about the premises.
The woman put another pillow behind
the soldier, handed him his revolver and
quietly said:
Il have your carbine and shall try to
hll him if he persists in entering the
house. If l am killed, then You must
take care of yourself"
The sergeant could hear every word Of
the conversation as the man finally ad-
vanced to the house, and the woman
stepped outside to meet him.
Look yere, woman" he began, "who
yo' got in yo'r house"
by what right do you ask that? she
demanded in turn.
