A Brave Little Girl.

'1 had an experience at Sedalia the other day that gives me a cold chill whenever I think of it." said Frank Hardcastle as he joined group of story tellers in the corridors of the Lindell. My wife and five-year-old daughter &C., companied me on my last trip. We Sun dayed at Sedalia, and during the after noon drove out to the cemetery. Natu- rally our conversation drifted to little daughter we lost year ago. One of the first things to attract our attention after we entered the cemetery was an open grave, dug for child. We walked up to it and stood for some moments look ing at it. The memories it evoked were painful indeed, and my wife broke down and cried bitterly.
 Little May took me by the hand and led me out of earshot of her mother; then she said, while her chin quivered and her eyes filled with tears, Papa, why don't you put me in, cover me up and take mamma home? was astound- ed. I bent down to kiss her, and she whispered, Tell mamma goodby for me; can't do it. The child actually thought that we had come to the cemetery to bury her and that she was standing be- hde her open grave. It was the most magnificent exhibition of nerve I ever witnessed. ."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Pigeon with a Memory.

It seems really impossible to extinguish the homing instinct in a good pigeon. A wonderful story is told by pigeon fan cying journal of French carrier pigeon which was captured by the German sol diers during the siege of Paris in 1870.
 The bird was being carried in balloon from Paris to some point in the country, whence it was expected to return to Paris with a message. It was taken to the German headquarters and presented to the commander, Prince Frederick Charles, who sent 1t to his mother in Germany.
 Here it was placed in splendid and roomy aviary, and carefully fed and nourished; but although it was kept here, living in the lap of royal luxury for four years, the French pigeon did not forget its fatherland.
 At the end of that time the door of the aviary was left open one day. The pigeon flew out, mounted high in the air, flew about for a moment, as if to find the points of the compass, and took flight in straight line for Paris.
 On the next day but one it beat its wings against the entrance to its old loft in the Boulevard de Chchy There it was recognized, and it's case being brought to public attention it was hon ored as patriot returned from foreign captivity. It remained at the Paris Jardin discrimination until it died in 167S
