WHEN BABY GOES TO SLEEP.

Whtn Katie takes the baby, and the noddins
little head
Gives token that it's weary and would like 70
go to bed,
An air Of death-like stiffness bout the house
begins to creep,
And eyerybodys silent when the baby goes to
sleep
Sometimes get so frightened that almost
lose my breath
II chance to make bit Of noise It scares me
most to death,
When from meath tiny eyebrow see q half
way peep
From big blue eyes, when baby has almost gone
to sleep.
And when at last q twinkling Of tiny smile
appears
On lips that angel kisses softly touch as dream
Ing nears
Igive sigh Of gladness, that is full Of thanks,
and deep,
That the world can once more move on, for
babys gone to sleep.

Getting into third-class carriage at
q suburban station, a gentleman found
the only other occupant was a travel
ing minstrel with a large harp In o
green baize covering. Presently the
station where tickets were taken was
reached, and as the tram journeyed on
the gentleman was startled at hearing
a sort of ,mufiled whisper issue appar-
entity from the harp. Seeing him look
ing rather curiously at it, the man In
charge of 1t remarked. "I'm sure you
are a gentleman who won't cause
trouble. The fact is, when haven't
made much money 1t comes cheaper
for my little girl to travel with the
harp" and, hastily undoing the baize
covering, out stepped business-like

A HEROIC LITTLE MAID,
How She Risked Her Life to Lead Ger
Forrest to the Ford In the River.

How She Risked Her Life to Lead Gen.
Forrest to the Ford In the River.
BY way of preface to the recitation
OF his poem "The Veterans Of the
SOUTH" at the Birmingham confeder-
ate reunion, Henry Clay Fairman, ed
ltor of the Sunny South, related the
following thrilling story, as having
been vouched for by Gen. N. b. For
rest hlmself'
my authority" said the speaker,
us Col. John Goode, OF Virginia, who
related 1t to me and two others at
Richmond last May with the remark
that nobody ever heard the general re-
peat the incident without heart-thrills
and watery eyes"
Forrest las the story goes was
glowing under the conception of one
of those bold and unexpected enter
prises which have immortalized him as
a knight Of the saddle and cavalry
captain of the Arst-class,
Night was upon him and river was
before him.
The blow must be struck at once or
the opportunity of surprising the
enemy would be lost.
At The head of his eager and devoted
columns he stopped at the door OF a
log cabin, and to the poor woman who
appeared in answer to his call he said:
"NIy good woman, want to ford the
river right away"
"You can't do It," she answered, "it's
up"
A slender young girl came to the
door and said:
81 know where you can cross" The
mother frowncd and interrupted
NO, he can't, child The rivers up
| tell YOU andits dangerous! Danger
ousl'
Forrest laughed at the strange words
and the faces of his followers reflected
his invincible resolve
The girl looked bravcly at the gen
cral and replied firmly;
"Mothcr, of course it's dangerous.
But know where he can get over
MADAME" said the commander 81
am Gen. Forrest. Let your daughter
go with me. Ill send her back, safe
and sound"
The child rushed forward impetu
ously, and the anxious mother yielded
General, I'll ride behind you,' cried
the girl, and strong arms lifted her t.
her place, and the column pressed for

THE ELECTRIC WIRE
A Tinsmith Cuts One and Receives
Terrible Injuries.
A HORRIBLE SIGHT on A ROOF.
big Tongues OF Flames Come from the
Mans I,ody-A Crowd In the Street
Gazing nj the Awful
Spectacle.

New York, July 3l.-While Nicholas
Eunis, tinsmith, was at work repair
ing the roof Of the New York OphtAal'
mic institution, he received terrible In
iuries from an electric light wire that
he accidentally cut.
The first intimaton that something
unusual had happened was when Dr.
Kidder Of the institution, noticed the
odor of burning flesh, and going to the
roof saw terrible sight. Helpless,
and with his clothing in blaze, Eunls
was lying face downward on the iloor'
Big tongues Of flame were thrown
high into the air above his body, com
In from the broken ends of the wire.
Eunis, evidently overpowercd BY the
shock, did not utter a cry. In some re-
marlablc manner the wires caught
him SO that he could not move. One
end had entered his left arm just above
the elbow, and another had pierced his
right side under the armpit- Another
wire crossed his breast
DR.. Kidder shouted for help as he
ran to the mans assistance. Eunls'
weight proved too much for the doctor
and he was unable to lift him. In
irving to do so, he himself was shocked
by the wires.

farewell to many OF his friends, his
home, the lovely city Of his boyhood.

mourning, for none knew Lieut.. Grant

More than thirty years have passed,

A QUEER DUEL.
The Unparalleled Courtesy Of Gen. Wade
Hampton.

Ithmpton'
Brig. Gen. Wade Hampton was the
beau ideal Of cavalry commander; OF
tall, heroic form, u superb horseman,
brave and enterprising without being
rash, and with daring always tempered
by sound judgment He was unques-
tionably the strongest man in the con-
federate service, and the only one in
either army who, enlisting as private
soldier, rose to the rank Of lieutenant
general. But, although a judicious
commander, no was possessed 'of o
knightly spirit Of adventure, and as ad'
ventures come TO the adventurous, his
brilliant military career was marked
by many thrilling personal expert
ences.
But brave heart Is no buckler
against d steel blade, as Gen. Hampton
realized that morning. Hearing a bull
let hiss just over his head he turned
his face toward the belt Of open woods
on his left IN time to see the flash OF a
gun at q point about three hundred
