A Weu Dfscipliued Man.

Army discipline is supposed to be
very strict indeed, and orders must be
obeyed swiftly and silently. The best
disciplined soldier ever in the Russian
army lived in 1777. He was stationed
before the door Of the palace during a
heavy flood, when the empress, seeing
from her balcony that the water had
reached the sentinel, called to him to
retire. This the soldier refused to do,
and when the empress asked him if he
knew who she was the man replied
affirmatively Although he knew her
majesty, he would not leave his post I'M
til his corporal relieved him. The
water increased until it reached the
sentinel's knees. The empress sent sew
eral messages to him, but he refused to
obey her. Finally she was compelled
to summon the corporal, who was found
asleep, and he was obliged to swim to
relieve the honest private, who by that
time had only his head above water and
would composedly have suffered himself
to be drowned rather than disObey or
ders while obeying his sovereign. -

Poor Children Who Wash Their Only
school Dress on Saturdays.
There is no one in the world more de-
serving of encouragement and help from
those who are in position to extend il,
than the young person who is lighting
the world alone against odds Here is d
story that comes from Mrs Thorpe's
bureau Of distress of some little house
keepers who are doing the best they can
to help their widOwer father and keep
themselves in clothes enough to attend
school regularly and get education.
Last winter poor tsamster, clad in a
summer ducklng suit mittenless and
overcoatless, drove about the city day
after day in the biting cold, seated on
load of cobs which he was trying to sell.
Occasionally he sold load or two day
and made twenty-five cents or fifty cents
to take home TO his wife and little chill
dren.
The county could do nothing for him
and his team, and the team could not be
sold. Finally the wife and baby were
taken sick. The three other children
suffered for food and clothes.
1t is a fact that at one time the man,
driven to desperation almost, threatened
to take his own life, saying that his wife
and children could get along better with
out him.
He did not do ii, however.
A little later his wife died and was
buried by the county. The mans heart
was broken by the adversely that chung
to him, and his work now is done dog
gedly. The only interest he has left IN
life il wrapped about the four little
girls.
They live in a cheaper house now, and
as they cannot hire a housekeeper, the
twelve-y ear-Old girl takes that RESPONSE
bility. By the help of her little sisters
she is ena bled to attend school also. On
Saturday they do their washing and iron
ing that they may have a dress each to
wear to school the following week. They
have only one good dress each.
There are lots of dresses little girls
like this might have if the owners of
them would only think of it

LOOKS TOWARD HOME.

An Insane Patient sits An a Tree and
GRzes HOnneward All Day.
There is a peculiarly sad case Of Inc
sanity at BedwelPs asylum in North To-
peka
1t is that of a young man named Mark
Blakesly. He is 20 years OF age and was
three years ago promising young me-
chanic in the Santa Fe shops. One day
he was working inside boiler and be-
came overloaded, That was in the SUM
mer Of 1891 and his mind has never been
right since.
There is a tree near the south fence Of
the asylum grounds aud up into IL he
elm bs every morning when the weather
is good enough and looks longinRly All
day towards his Parkdale home.
Some time ago Mr.. Bedwell fastened
some boards up there for him to sit on.
and there he sits ali day long looking
homeward, when he is not ''dggerinR."
That is another one Of his fads. He
must have a paper and pencil for con-
siderable part Of each day, and there he
sits smoking a cob pipe and working
silently and mysteriously on some mathe-
NAUTICAL problem that he will not tell
even Mr. Bedwell about. Occasionally
he prays, and some times he goes t0
sleep for a short time on board that is
wider than the others.
But always when he can he must be in
a position to look toward his home he
wants to, though he never talks OF going
there. How he remembers the direction
no one knows, As there are lots of other
things he forgefs.
There are several other interesting
cases at BedwelPs. There is an old
grandmother there who has TO be tied TO
chair inathe kitchen, not because she
is bit violent, bat simply because she
imagines she IS doing the housekeeping
and must move things around and put
the furniture in better shape. House
keeping seems to b. her mania, and If
into dish cloths.
Another old fellow has worn quite e
place in the back yard where he spends
the days in walking back and forth with
his head down. evidently thinking or
looking for something. His path il not
more than six feet long.

naIy the Conductor Got 1t.
Women who carry their money in their
handk erchiefs some times cause an undue
amount Of trouble.
There WAS one on q Kansas avenue
trolley car today. She was an elderly lady.
She got on the car at Third street and
wanted to get of at Sixth evidently. At
Fourth the conductor came around for
the fares. The old lady produced her
handkerchief and tried to unite it The
conductor waited a moment but the hand
kerchief was firmly tied and he went on
around the car, stopping for the woman
with the time-lOck as he came back.
She was still working on the com bina-
ton. She tried it IN all shapes with
her fingers and then with her teeth.
That wet the handkerchief and
made the knot harder. 1t was past
charge of the handkerchief and tried his
luck on it. His luck was bad, too, aud
Sixth street was gone before he gave up.
The old lady wouldn't get OF without
her money and he couldn't let her get
of without his, you know, so they kept
ND the show He couldn't stop the car
and wait for her, either.
At Seventh street the conductor took
the handkerchief again.
Several of the passengers had noticed
the predicament by this time and were
out on the conductors alabasrer forhead
and toll stained cheek, but he wOuld't
give up.
The car had reached Eighth street be-
fore the woman succeeded IN getting
at her money.
Then she paid the conductor and walk
ed back to Sixth.
