POPULAR UPRISING.
The stout man with large pack
age beneath his arm hurried through
the crowded thoroughfare, closely
pursued by small man of haggard
aspect.
On and on, relentless as the ticking
Of a clock, the forlorn man dogged
the other and those who passed him
heard an occasional word drop from
his lips, indicative of despair, Of aw-
full terror.
Finally, some of the crowd turned
and kept after the pair, determined
not to miss anything that should hap
pen. The crowd behind grew larger,
and, finally, bold man went up to
the person Of haggard countenance.
Whats the matter?" he asked.
The little man turned. Natter"
he echoed. " See that man with a
bundle? He is my next door neigh
Dor, and in that bundle he has h cor
net which he has bought for his
small son to play upon
But the crowd waited no longer.
1t surged ahead with relentless fury,
and when peace had been restored
the remains Of a battered cornet lay
upon the pavement.-lJ Judge.
