1t WAS always the habit of this great
commander to expose himself unneces
sarily, and he seemed to think his pres:
ence necessary on the line of battle.
He would often sit on his horse under
the hottest fire, oblivious to the exist
tence of danger-his eyes lifted towards
the heavens, while he was wrapped in
prayer. l often wondered what he ask.
ed for in his petitions to heaven. 1t
was certainly not scriptural to pray
for the humiliation of his enemy, yet,
under the circumstances, he must have
desired it. He may have resembled
that certain officer of artillery who
named his cannon Mathew. Mark,
Luke. and john" and who, at Darkes-
vile, having engaged in silent prayer,
cried aloud-"Oh! Lord, have mercy
on their wicked souls-fre !" 1t may
be he prayed that his enemies might
seek safely in flight, and if so his pray
ers we're many times answered. Few
people are aware of the fact that Jack
son died from pneumonia superinduced
by the loss of blood and the exposure
to the night air previous to the battle.

THE NEW RIBBoNs.-Dresden rib
bons imprinted with the clear bright
flower designs familiar on Dresden
porcelain now rival those with the
vague chine designs The violet and
rose flowers on white or pale grounds
are most popular. These ribbons are
most effective as trimmings of plain
fabrics, ecru, white. or light solid
colors, rather than when an attempt is
made to match them to the designs of
Powered silks, muslins, or grenadines.
Solid colored faille or satin ribbons are
the best choice for figured goods, and
should be of the prevailing color to
deepen the tone. Violet is the favor
lite color among plain ribbons, and is
used not only to match but in contrast
with the material, as on pale blue tai
feta, on beige colored crepons, and on
ecru linen batiste. Changeable rose
and blue producing the rosy violet is
especially liked. Shot taffeta ribbons
are also stylish trimmings for summer
gowns of light fabrics. Striped rib
bons are the choice for the large rib
bon collars introduced by Paquin on
canvas and crepon gowns. There are
also gauZe ribbons with broche flower
designs all of one color to form plast-
ron, stock. and belt, with chour, of
dresses trimmed with silk gauze revers

BABY.
MISS ETHEL KEITH HUFF.

Once, when the gates of Paradise
Swung wide in perfumed breeze,
EThat swayed the bright flowers
In Heavens rare bowers,
And rustled the leaves Of the trees
A tiny, wee angel Of light
Down the broad golden street CHANGED tx
roam.
And when nobody knew
This sweet cherub slipped through
The white gates and strayed to my home.
II.
He brought a bright sunbeam from Heaven
Twined In the soft mesh of his hair 60
And ne stole from the skies sss
The soft blue of his eyes
That color SO deep and so rare.
WELCOMED him with such great joy
That my heart its deep bliss would not hold
But uy wee, truant love
Was far, safer above,
And God called him back to His fold.
Oh. baby, my heart yearns for thee
With longing too bitter for tears
But i bow to the rod
In the hand of my God
And the rainbow OF promise appears.
I'll try to be patient and wait
Until can clasp you once more,
For, my darling, think
You were sent as link
Between Mother and Heavens bright shore.
