the mother, worn down by much
bearing of children, white-haired,
though she was but fifty Eve, and
feeble, looked after the household
with such strength as she had left
Of their five children, the three Oldest
had gone out into the world to earn
their living. The two youngest were
left at home, girl of eighteen, who
was a dressmal<er, and little Gabe,
who was hunchback.
The child of parents who, like so
many others among the Paris working
classes, had passed half their life in
the unwho1esome atmosphere of dark,
ul-ventilated .baclx-shops, little Gabe
was hopelessly deformed in every way.
His thin, little, feeble legs scarcely
supported his warped and stunted
body; his head, which had developed
out of all proportion, was sunken be-
tween his shoulders But the child's
face had an exquisite delicacy, and an
expression that haunted ones mem
ory. He was years old, but from his
height one would not have taken him
to be 5; yet, with his prominent
forehead, his two large, meditative,
dark-brown eyes, so sad, SO precociOus
in their thoughtfulness, the face OF
little Gabe was almost that Of a man
of 20. His father, his mother and the
elder sister, worshiped the child on
account OF his gentle ways and his in
telligence, which was very unusually
advanced.
One evening, after school hours, I
saw him sitting near the porter's
lodge, at the door. His mother had
gone out to buy something, and, as
his sister had not returned from her
work, he had found the rooms locked
and was waiting, leaning against the
wall, with his eyes hungrily turned
toward the street, and on his face
look of resigned patience. I stopped
to speak to him and he answered me
with long, frightened, observing
chances. At that moment his sister
came in, breathlessly.
'sAh, my poor Gabe," she cried, ST
kept you waitfngl You were getting
impatient, were you not?''
NO." replied little Gabe, quietly in
a voice as clear as a silver bell, ''I
was only thinking that perhaps you
were tired of me and would not come
back. I am so i'll and give so much
trouble
sob, you naughty boy!" exclaimed
the young girl, covering him with
kisses. She turned to me with her
eyes full of tears.
HE is so intelligent and so lovablel
He is like grown person in his ideas
If only he had a little health and
strength The doctor said that if we
could take him to Berck this summer
the sea air and the playing in the
sand might do him good But Berck
is far and it costs so much to goI All
the same, I must try to earn the
money in some way"
And the young girl worked morning
and evening to get the necessary sum
together. She bent for hours over
her machine, plating, piping, cutting

WHY Queens Are Balied.

Mrs. Atchley tells correspondent
that the reason bees from her own
hive balled their queen when he re-
turned her, was on account OF the
sting poison the bees had saturated
her with. Bees will ball their own
queen just as quickly as q strange
one, when she has sting poison on
her. The next time queen takes
wing, shake frame of bees right
down in front Of the entrance, and
close the hive quickly, step back out
of the way and she will return al
right. In some instances it may be
better to keep the queens Gagged q

the bees access to the candy, but l

TIVE Claims Against the
County.

Monday the County Commission
ers appropriated $500 from the
County Treasury to help Nevada
make an exhibit at the FAIR. Audi-
tor Ellis refused to draw his warrant
for the amount, and in defense of
his pusitlon cites the following:
Section 9 of Sec. 1850, General
Statutes of Nevada, reads: Every
demand against the county, except
The salaries oil the Auditor and Dis
trict Judge or Judges, shall be acted
on by the Board of County Com
missioners, and allowed or rejected
in order Of presentation, and must,
after having been approved by the
Board, before beins paid, be present
I'd to the County Auditor to be al
lowed, who shall satisfy himself
whether the money is legally due
and remains unpaid, and whether
the payment thereof from the treas
ury is authorized by law and out of
what fund.
4. J. Parkinson had in bill of S.
for advertising where exhibits should
be sent to be forwarded to the Fair.
Auditor Ellis also refused to audit
this claim, giving his reasons as fol-
lows:

ty Commissioners; GENTLEMEN:-l

ance, claim number 70, allowed by

contract. Respectfully,
