They Comforted Each other.

Johnny and Daisy go to school to-
gether, and are very fond of each
other. One day in school the teachra
asked Johnny to define ''signet."
"Signet is young SEAL" answered
Johnny.
''Signet means a small SEAL" quick
ly said the boy below Johnny, and
Johnny had to go down in the class.
Everybody laughed except Daisy,
who gave Johnny a look full of SYM
pathy.
Soon afterward the teacher asked
Daisy what is meant by stem" when
you use it in the sentence ito stem the
current"
ut MEANS" said Daisy. when mann
ma takes the stems off the currants to
make plum pudding"
Then the whole school, except John
ny, laughed at Daisy.
After school Johnny put his arm
around Daisy's waist and said:
IF it doesn't mean that, Daisy. 1t
ought to-"
And Daisy replied:
II am sure, Johnny, a small seal
must be young one"
And so they were both comforted. d.

Then we wuz little an lovin' an glad.
The tricks tibet we played an the prizes we

The smart things we said an the cute things

Air things we furgit in the worry Of life:
But when she kin tell em ter husban' er wife,

Up on the hill, wher' the soft breezes pass,
Little maounds rise through the long, wavin'

The babies tibet sleep there air dust long ago,
Wher' the sweet-scented Stub an the rose

An no one hez thought on or mourned 'em fer

over the creek, were all that unior
officer would notice as he rode intt
the place, and he would pass by Il
with contempt. Yet that general
store across the way, with it's yard
running down to the creek, belonged
to one of the most successful blockade
runners on the Potomac, man, who,
| under the quiet exterior Of a country
storekeeper and good fellow, hid a
shrewdness which enabled him to out.
wit the union authorities for three
years, and then to make good his es-
cape. And it is of this escape am 60
ing to tell
Under the guise of keeping his coun-
try store, Dick Edelin, was constantly
ordering large amounts of clothes,
shoes and other necessaries, which he
promptly conveyed across the Potomac
to his agents and by them to the
southern army. He was rapidly max
ing money, as his goods brought ex-
traordinary prices. So Dick became
more and more reckless every day,
ordering larger and larger quantities
of goods, until the union authorities
began to notice it and to wonder at
the marvellous increase in the con-
suming power of that quiet country
neighborhood. Finally they became
suspicious, and the provost marshal of
the district soon found out enough
facts to give him an inkling into the
true state of affairs, and measures
were taken to capture Edelin,, red
handed if possible. Meanwhile Edelin,
had received warning from friend
that he might have visit from the
bluecoats some fine morning, and that
he had better make his preparations
for escaping.
A week or two went by. September
came, and with it the ortolan and the
reed bird, and Edelin, had almost come
to the conclusion that it was false
alarm. One dark night, however, just
as ne was going to bed, he heard the
regular thud-thud of horses hoofs
coming down the dusty road, and now
and then the clank of steel as a saber
struck the stirrup. He made dash
down the stairs for the rear door,
which he threw open, but at that mo-
ment he heard the troopers coming
round the corner of the house. 1t was
too late to reach the swamp, and he
jumped back into the store. Where
was he to hide? What was he to do?
In less than minute the place would
be swarming with troopers. Already
IN officer was demanding admittance
1T the front door, and rapid steps were
heard as the troopers closed around
;he house.
Edelin's eye glanced over the large |
store room. There was nothing there

Uses of q CameI's Hump.

The queer questions of the world
are asked at the menageries and 20
illogical gardens. At least, so the
keeper of the animal house at Central
park says.
To illustrate this point in single
instance, he narrates the following as
an actual occurrence. It relates to a
man from the rural district, who for
half an hour or SO had been watching
a camel.
''Can you tell me, SIR" asked the
stranger, what that hump on the an
imal's back is for?"
What's it for?" queried the other in
surprise.
Eyes, what's it for? OF what value
is it?"
II was really SO taken aback." said
the keeper, that couldn't help Civ
ing the guy jolly, and SO l said:
+" It's of great practical value, sir. A
camel would be utterly worthless
without it."
''No good without it! Why SOP"
why. you see, sir, you don't sup
pose folks would come miles to see
this animal or pay twenty-five cents at
a show to see one if it didn't have a
hump. A camel without hump might
just as well be COW. It's the hump
that makes it an attraction. That's
its use. IN. Y. Herald.

''The bird appears to have flown

'Thc bird appears to have flown,
said the captain.
II thought / saw him 20 out the
back door as I came found the corner,
said sergeant II found the back
door open. He must have heard us
and escaped to the swamp"
..Well, the patrol will catch him il
he goes down the creek" replied the
captain. ut must be there by this
time
Thanks, captain" said Edelin, to
himself, Il will go up the creek"
Crack, crack, went revolver, at the
other end of the village.
sThere he goes now" cried the men,
and all of them rushed from the room
to their horses and galloped where
they heard the shots. This was Ed
dclin's chance. Slipping out from his
uncomfortable position, he felt the
back of his neck with his hand, where
the wound was, and then glanced over
the counter. The room was empty,
and the noisy clatter of the troopers
could be heard down the road. Ed
elm ran to the back door. Not a
trooper was in sight. In an instant
he had gained the creek and the
marsh, jumped into his skiff and pad
died up the creek under the bridge
into the dense marsh beyond. He was
safe, for it would have been very
hard thing for guide who knew all
about the marsh to have found him,
and impossible for the union troops,
who knew very little about the local
ity, to do SO. The troopers stayed in
the village until morning, thoroughly
searching it and the surrounding coun-
try, while the patrol from the river
secured the marsh, but all to no pur-
pose.
Late in the evening of the second
day a dilapidated figure crawled out
of the rank reeds and made his way
to house which stood short dis
tance from the creek. 1t was Dick
Edelin,, torn, dirty, muddy and very
hungry. His rap brought young
girl to the door, who received him
with a joyful cry and dragged him
into the house, which belonged to Ed
elin's first cousin. After hearty dinner
Edelin, went back to the swamp so as to
escape any danger from troopers who
still fingered in the neighborhood. He
made his camp in the very center of the
swamp, upon a little island only few
feet square, in wilderness of reeds
Ind mud. There he lived for several
months until he was fortunate enough
70 escape and join the southern army.
Every morning during his stay in the
swamp one could hear the echo of gun
IN the marsh, and the men at the store
would say: There's Dick Edelin, get.
ing his breakfast" and then they
would laugh. -Haddo Gordon, in N. Y.

three feet broad and four feet high, with
its barrels of sugar, coffee, flour and
meal ranged underneath, leaving a
space of some ten inches between their
tops and the counter. 1t was the only

glancing into them. The first one he
pulled out was under Edelin's feet,

NOT oUEENsBERRY RULES.

4 sN l .
Fathers Take Hand in Fight Arranged
@g5t by Their Sous.
BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis, March 20.
An amusing report comes from near
Cataract, few miles from this city,
regarding two young men who seriously
quarreled over wrestling match and
decided to settle it according to Marquis
of Queensberry rules, and arranged to
meet the next day. Meanu me the
fathers of the boys heard of it and were
on hand just as the boys were stripped
'for the fray" The boys were anxious
to get into their clothes at once, but their
fathers told them to settle it then and
there, but desired to take part in it
themselves, and each of them pulled
from under his coat a good rawhide
whip. These were given to the boys
and they were told to use them instead
Of their fists. The boys we're there for
"blood," and at it they went, and it is
safe to say that the two boys never had
such larupping in their lives. But
one round was sufficient, and nothing
would induce either to again face the
cruel whips. They were both very
meek and had great deal of respect
for each other, while the spectators
thought it was the greatest circus they
ever saw.
