Won His Cnb,n Enr at II Rafiic.

Captain Barratt Of the American bark
Carrie Winslow has on board one of tho
strangest prizes ever captured in rattle.
1t is nothing less than boy, swarthy
young Argentine, Juan Baptiste by
name, whom the captain won i'll raff1e
at Buenos Ayrcs.
Juan is only T years old and was an
inmate Of a Spanish orphan asylum at
Buenos Ayres when the Winslow reach
ed there on her last voyage. Juan de-
sired his liberty, but under the laws Of
the Argentine Republic that could only
be secured by the payment of cash
sum that would go to a fund for the
prosecution Of persons taking out the
orphans and then treating them badly.
IN Juan's case the amount required was
Q46, and in order to secure this tho en-
terprising boy decided to put himself up
in a rafflc and sell the tickets himself.
Captain Barratt became interested in
the boy to the extent Of $5 spent for
tickets, and when the drawing was an
iounced was somewhat surprised to find
Imself the winner.
The youthful prize has been installed
N the Wirslow as cabin boy, and
though he has now been away from his
native land several months shows no
desire to return to it. He is bright and
intelligent, and as he eyinces decided
disinclination to associate with the crew
Captain Barratt treats him as one Of his
own family. y.-Philadclphia Record.

With gentle sadness. yet no touch of pain,

The cloud glow darkcns and familiar things
Grow beautifully strange, as in dream,
Amid the glamour that the twilight brings.

He Was Excused.

A young man at social party was
vehemently urged to sing a song. He
replied that he would first tell a story,
and then, if they still persisted in their
demand, he would endeavor to execute
q song. When boy, he said, he took
lessons in singing, and one Sunday morn
ing he went up into the garret to prac.
tice alone. While in full cry, he was
suddenly sent for by the old gentleman.
''This is pretty conduct!" said the ia.
ther; "pretty employment for the son OF
pious parents, to be saving boards in tho
garret on Sunday morning loud enough
to be heard by all the neighbors. Sit
