the now distinguished lady was a little

up between them that has lasted to the
present time, After the boys stock Of

call for the pretty little blue eyed miss,

soon got to be familiar figures on Gov
eminent street. as they would walk
along that busy thoroughfare with the
young girls head garlanded with wreaths
of beautiful flowers and the little boys
arms filled with vines and evergreens.
Then Miss Rives moved far away into Vir-
ginia, but she never forgot her newsboy
friend, for it was her custom almost
daily to write him. The boy met with a
misfortune some years ago which Grip
pied him for life. He is poor, but his

was amazed to find that. although he
went to bed clothed as is customary, yet
he invariably awoke naked in the morn
ing and could not find any trace Of his
missing garment, A great number Of
shirts disappeared In this inexplicable
manner, and as every nook and corner
in the room was searched without re-
suit the baronet at last told one Of his
intimate friends, and requested him to
sit in the room all night and watch de-
velopnents, This the friend did, and
after the baronet had for some time given
audible evidence that he was asleep the
watcher was surprised to observe him

scend the stairs and emerge into an open

The Man Of the Moment.

account, says Sarah Grand. The instinct
of natural selection which inclined her
first OF all to set him aside for his fab
biness Is strengthened now by her
knowledge Of his character. She knows
him better than her parents do, and In
proportion as she knows him she finds
less and less reason to respect him. The
girls discuss him with each other and
with younger married women. and out
of their discussion Ia arising q strong
distaste for him.

four little children. After lying silent
for awhile he said he would like to sec
them, and the poor wife brought then
to the bedside. All he did was to take
each of the three elder children by the
hand and to say, "Gude day"
Then he said to the youngest, wee
thing ? years old, will ye gle me a
bit kiss?"
The mother, lifting up the wondering
child, said, Say ta-ta to your father"
"Ta-ta," said the little boy i'll loud,
cheerful voice. and then ran out of
the cottage to play. The poor father
closed his eyes; the tears ran down his
cheeks, but he said no iHore. Tho abun-

Near 60 Death.

The way the thing happened was this:
Our section had been fighting it alone in
a peach orchard until the other members
of the battery Joined us, when we moved
forward and had quite q brisk engage
ment with the enemy. Our ammunition
expended and our men worn out, we
halted ut spot in the woods to rest and
to replenish our ammunition.
The fighting was going on all around
us, and stray bullets were coming along
past us every now and then. don't be-

was after that engagement. 1t was alb
solutely necessary for me to take rest,
and perceiEng huge tree near by l
concluded to plant myself along side of
it. So leaned against it with my back
to the enemy's line, stretched out my
feet and was having splendid rest when
12-pound shot came bounding along
and struck the tree plumb on the oppo-
site side from me and at o point just be-
hind my head.
Well, sir, I didn't know what struck
me. The shock was tremendous. Great
Jerusalem! But didn't run from under
that tree, looking sideways up and ex-
pecting momentarily to see the whole
enormous mass of wood and leaves come
crashing down on me. I didn't know
what had happened till saw some of the
boys dancing around in high delight,
clapping their hands ami yelling at me. l

Tho Hauteur of English Servants.

I get ON charmingly with the English
nobility and sufficiently well with the
gentry, but the upper servants strike
terror to my soul. There is something
awe inspiring to me about an English
butler, particularly one in imposing
livery. When call upon Lady de Wolfe,
I say to myself impressively Is I go up
the steps: "You are as good as q butler,
as we'll born and we'll bred as n butler.
even more Intelligent than butler,
Now, simply because he has an unap-
proachable hautiness of demeanor, which
you can respectfully admire, but can
never hope to initiate, do not cover be-
meath the polar light of his eye; assert
yourself; be woman; be an American
citizen" All in vain.

shaking under me at the prospect of
committing some solecism in his sight,

ton of the vulgar commoner from the

When Travelling Was Dangerous.

HounsFow heath, Finchley common
and Gadshill, in the neighborhood Of
London, were celebrated haunts of the
highwayman, and the secluded roads of
Epping forest, on the route to Cam
bridge, were often the scenes of plumber
in broad daylight. These desperate rob
bers at last became so dangerous. and
the peril of their attacks so serious to
travellers of all kinds, as we'll as to the
postmen. that the government passed a
law making highway robbery an offense
punishable by the death of the criminal
and the confscation of all his property
But robberies still occurred.
In 1888 mail coaches, protected by
armed guards, took the place of post
boys. The coaches carried passengers
also, and as these generally carried arms
the mails were better protected, but
still daring and oftentimes successful
attacks were made upon them.-St,

Patents and What They Protect.

A business man in this city who is up
to his ears in the work necessary to
gather capital to float an enterprise, and
at the same time to keep information of
the nature of it away from busy rivals,
found time last week to say: Did you
ever think that a patent does not patent
in this country? Well, it's fact AL
3hat the patent office does is to give you
paper with some writing on it, but il
another man steals your idea and goes
to manufacturing your invention the
patent Office will not lift finger to pro-
tect you or to stand by its own decision.
The fact that you've got patent is d
point in your favor, but you've got tc
hire lawyers and fight the thief in the
courts, and if he can stand it to hire
lawyers longer than you can that settles
you, and you might as well make him a
present of your invention. There are lots
of men i'll the country who are getting
rich on the discoveries of other people.
All they had to do was to take em and
fight the real discoveries into poverty.
The patent office, to be respected and to
be of any use, ought to have the power
to cause the stealer of a patent to be sent
to prison. New York Sun.

II Premier Rosebery is driven out of
I ublie life for owning fast horse it will
not be his first embarrassment from a like
cause. 1t was his ownership of race
horse which led to his withdrawal from
college at Oxford. without taking his de-
gree. nearly quarter of a century ago.
Dean Liddell. who was the head of Christ
church in those days, fully realized the
enormity of an undergraduate keeping
race horse and participating in the princi-
pal turf events of the day. Accordingly,
he summoned the young man and told him
that he would either have to dispose of
his racing stable or give up college. ex-
pecting of course, that the peer would dis
pense with the former. Greatly to the
deans dismay, Lord Rosebery coolly re-
sponded that if he had to choose between
the two he would certainly take the racing
stable So he left oxford to all intents
and purposes in disgrace.
