Pro mlse to beat the drum for us az well
as you have for the Iunks and your life
shall be spared"
"Never" cried the young patriot. IT
would rather be shot than be n rebel"
Perhaps the neart Of the Confederate
was touched by this display Of herosm,
but not sufficiently for him to mitigate
his sentence, and the little prisoner
went back to his guarded tent, doomed
to be shot as a spy at sunset.
All that livelong day the little drum
mer under sentence Of death heard the
lncessant hustle Of camp life without,
knowing that some important movement
was on foot And while he wondered
what 1t meant, his thoughts would go
back 60 that other army and that other
chieftain, who, by now, must have
ceased to look for him. He wondered
how his failure to return would be re-
celved. And then his thoughts took
longer flight, going back to that old
home in the Empire State and to the
loved ones he could not hope to see
again. Perhaps the tears glistened In
his eyes as he thought Of it all; but
there was no sign Of fear H. his de-
pertinent when, at the fated hour he
was led forth to die.
"By Jove! he's sure to break down be"
fore the signal is given" said the
sergeant who had charge Of the squad
to place him in position for the closing
act in the awful drama.
Harry heard the words, and suddenly
lifting his head he said.
"Glve me a drum, sir, and Will play
q tattoo while you shoot me-"
odd you ever?" exclaimed the officer.
ct swear tits a pity to shoot him like
this. But orders are orders, though
you may get nm drum, Sawyer lie
will forget while he plays"
BY the time Harry was blindfcided
drum was put into his hand, when he
instantly struck up the spirited notes
which had so often given life and hope
to his old regiment Of gallant soldiers
No doubt the boy drummer did Tor
get the deadly danger that menaced
him as he caught up the beloved strain
and sent out to hill and valley the music
of which he was master. And If he for
got so did his captors for the moment.
The grim phalanx stood silent and mo-
tionless while it waited for the stern
command that was to end all.
Moments are priceless sometimes, ana
the brief while that Harry Baldwin held
his enemies spellbound by his last
tattoo saved him his life, for suddenly
the clear notes of the drum were
drowned by the lusty shouts of men,
Then body Of Union cavalry flung
itself upon the surprised Confederates.
Amazed, bewildered, confident that no
small body of trops would throw them
SELVES single-handed upon overwhelm-
ing forces, they broke and fled In wild
disorder.
The flight was short but decisive, and
only few minutes later the bandage
was torn from the drummer boys eyes
by friendly hands, and he was borne in
triumph back to the Union army.

The Communication of insanity.
Nondon Correspondence)


A very extraordinary instance of the
communication Of mental disease from
one person to another has recently been
brought under our notice. The daughter
Of mechanic obtained a situation, but
in consequence Of her fits or temper and
bad language soon lost it, and a home
was found for her. During her stay in
this home the wife of a medical gentle
man residing in Devonshire visited the
place and became interested in the girl,
eventually taking her to her home as q
companion. The girls conduct, how
ever, very soon convinced the husband
of the lady that the girl was not a mere.
hysteric, but was absolutely insane. The
friendship which the lady of the house
evinced for the girl became more pro-
nounced, Notwithstanding the circum-
stances of the girls behavior and the
medical gentleman quickly realized that
the mental disease Of the girl was COM
municating itself to his wife, who sew
eral years previously had herself been
temporarily afflicted. The mental dis
ease was, in fact, sympathetically re-
viying, and the efforts of the husband
to get the girl away threatened, be-
cause of his wife's opposition and the
behavior of the girl, to wreck his home,
the girl regarding him as violent
enemy. and his wife siding with her,
though they had scarcely been two
months acquainted. The removal of the
girl for his wife's sake became so neces-
sary that under cover Of visit to the
home he arranged that a specialist in
mental diseases, Sir ]. Russell Rey-
nolds. should see her. The result was
the immediate removal Of the girl to an
asylum.

gold frames represent the flower OF Am
erican womanhood, and the art OF the
greatest foreign painters had been utll-
lied to depict in color the leading so
ciety women and bellies Of New York
And besides these portraits, there were
those done by American artists, and the
work was redolent Of the feeling that
a great painter puts in his work when
he pictures with his brush the beautiful
women Of his own land
But not only are our American women
painted upon canvas by great foreign
and native artists, but Of late new fad
has arisen, and my lady longs to have
her head and neck and shoulders mold
ed in marble. This Is the very newest
craze, Perhaps it first started when the
news that Mrs. Clevelands marble bust
had been placed in the White House
was given out few seasons ago, Until
then there were few marble busts Of So
ciety women to be seen in fashionable
boudoirs, but now 1t Is the correct thing.
Just as year or two ago 1t became a
fad to have ones hand and arm photo

graphed. In fact, l know Of more than
one pretty woman who visited swell
photographer for the purpose Of having
her dainty foot, unshod and unstocking-
ed, portrayed on an elegantly finished
Imperial card
I visited one Of our most prominent
scIlptors, j. Q. A. Ward, in his studio
one day last week, and questioned him
as to the new craze for marble busts,
and he said:
II believe such a craze has sprung up
within the last season or two, but have
never made a bust or bas-relief of a
woman. There are few women whose
heads or features will lend themselves
to a graceful reproduction in marble.
Any defect which in photograph or
painting might not show will stand out
glarlngly in a bust. There are, Of course,
some heads and faces which seem es-
pecially adapted for this sort Of repro
duction. OF this type are the models
from which a sculptor molds the heads
and figures in historical and allegorical
figures. But the average pretty woman
does not appear to advantage when
modelled in marble. 1t is custom that
to me seems more suited to those who
are dead 1t certainly has suggestion
of a mortuary memorial; but still
know that within the last few seasons
1t has become the fashion to have it
DONE"
W. Clarke Noble, who has his studio
in a stable in West Eighteenth street,
which he has converted into a dream
of artistic beauty, has made several
busts in the round and in relief of wo-
men and children. One of his most ia

son, sister Of Mr.. Frederick Gebhardt.
He has also made an exquisite relief of
Mrs. Thurman Of Philadelphia, and an
other of Mrs. Randolph, the wife of Ma

erneur Morris is one of the most admired

IChinnnrn CnrrncnnnhnnnnA


Provided with Daily ScapegOat.
Chicago Correspondence
Wilbur f. Storey, though a great ed
itor, never had fame for good humor;
and as he grew old he grew irritable.
Little things worried him; small mat
ters made him furious. If some mis-
take shone forth in any fashion of rag
ged, bad work in the Chicago Times,
Storey was liable to inquire the GRIM
inal out and deal with him. There came
a time in his life when his dismissals
from the service Of his paper averaged
four week; good men, too. James B.
Runnion, now editor-in-chief Of the
Kansas City Star, was then managing
editor Of Wilbur Storey's Times. To
preserve his force from the devastat-
ing swoops Of Storey's irritability,
something had to be done. Runnion
studied the situation long and hard.
He noticed that after Storey had dis
charged a man he appeared to eXpe-
rience great relief, and would get along
in peace and comparative quetude for
a time. The record showed that Storey
never fired more than one man in day.
II Runnion could only provide the right
sort of victim every day all would be
WELL A bright idea struck Runnion.
He had a splendid, competent boy in
the elevator He removed this valuable
youth to another field and hired boy;
the worst that he could find. The boy
knew nothing of an elevator and did
everything wrong. The first time Sto-
rey got into the elevator with the
worthless boy he started the machine
too soon and almost caught the great
editor in the door frame. Had he sue
ceeded it would have ended Storey's
career Upon arrival at the top floor
Storey ordered the dangerous youth
discharged. 1t was done and the old
elevator boy was sent back until fresh
victim could be brought on. The next
morning a new and clumsy elevator
boy was discovered by Storey and
promptly told to go, The morning fol-
lowing Runnion fed the great editor an
other. Now and then boy would last
two days; but the rule was five week.
Storey would immediate quintet Of ele-
vator boys each week, and with that
he would rest content. 1t was a good
thing and kept him off the regular
force, and restored tranquility among
the hired men. But it was a bit rough
on the boys.

Perpetual sunshine.

This occurs on the coast of Peru,
where, although it may perhaps be
misty occasionally the blue sky is al
visible through this whitish veil. Per-
petual sunshine, when the SUMS above
the horizon, also exists in Sahara, the
great desert of Africa, and in other
rainless regions of the earth-namely,
the high lands of Iran, various tracts
of Turkestan and China, and the
plateau of Cobb, and also in Australia,
between the southern colonies and the
Gulf of Carpentaria. Should clouds APP
pear in any Of these districts the heat
of the sun is so intense that they are
dispersed almost before they are
formed.

Confederate army with greater safety.
He knew very well that 1t lay encamp-
ed behind the low mountain range that
ram for ten miles or more north and
south, with here and there a broken link
affordlng passage to the other SIDE l
say he knew they were there, but had
he known their exact location, this
night trip would not have been neces-
sary.
His clothes covered with dust, and
his limbs aching from the days hard
marching, the drummer boy moved
somewhat YEARLY through the noun
tain gap, while the shadows fell deeper
and darker around him. 1t was wild'
lonely place, though he gave little heed
to his surroundings other than to watch
them closely for some indication OF the
enemy that he felt might be lurking un-
comfortably near.
Still nothing occurred to excite his
suspicious, until gradual lifting or the
shadows ahead told him that ne was
approaching the other side OF the range
and that 1t behooved him to move with
even greater caution than hitherto.
Thus his surprise may be imagined
when. as he was silently crawling
around a jagged arm Of one of the foot
hills he found himself in the midst OF
a squad of Confederate infantry.
Discovered by them before he could
heat a retreat, he was captured in the
twinkllng of an eye, to be dragged away
toward the headquarters of the south
ern commander, charged with being a
spy
After seeing that he was securely
hound hands and feet, he was placed
under a strong guard, to await trial in
the morning. A long, tedious night it
was to him, too, though his first and
greatest concern was over the disap-
pointment his non-appearance would
bring upon the Union general But it
was in vain for him to berate himself
for any carelnssness of which he may
have been guilty. The stern fact Of his
| oaptivity remained and could not be
reasoned away. He must abide by the
consequence.
The sun was beginning to show it's
bright face over the crest of the noun
tain as the drumhead court-martial was
ordered, and he was led forth to be
tried and convicted as a spy.
Rather young to be caught in such
business" remarked the grim official
| pray, what use have the Yanks for
such infants as you? was not aware
they were driven to such straits for sup
porters,"
II am drummer boy, sir" replied
Harry, proudly, land as such, believe,

"Oh-ho! so that's it? Well. you look
and act like a gritty one, and the boys
say you resisted them last night tooth
and nail. Say, it's a pity one so young
and smart should be shot down like a
dog. Do you want to live, my little
drummer boy?" ~
my life is my country's, sir. If can
serve her better by dying than living
1 am content"
bah! You do not realize that you are
to be shot at sunset. There Is only one
hope for you Your life shall be spared
upon one condition"
"And that?" asked the brave boy.

Emilio Castelar, thinks America is
unjust to Spain, "the mother and dis
coverer of America" Spain may be
tire mother of America, but she never
treated her child with any maternal
tenderness. She simply used her Ameri-
can colonies for what she could get out
of them, and her influence, wherever it
has been felt on this continent, has
only served to retard progress and pre-
vent development 1t is no wonder that
such mother should not be ardently
loved.

heroic featS Will bring the IRE Dack 10
the veterans eye surer, than the brave
little fellows who sounded the reveille
or beat taps, Bugle boys and drummer
boys have figured often and consplcu-
ously in the annals Of war. And no.
where in history have we more or
brighter examples Of this kind than in
the records OF the Civil War, on both
s!des-Confederate and Union.
The story Of Harry Baldwln's un-

his fearlessness Of death for the cause
he had so nobly espoused, affords a
bright example Of this kind He be-
longed to a New York reglment-I am
sorry that I have forgotten its number
though that hardly matters as long as
l remember the main facts Of his adj
ventures--and he was the life and heart
Of his older comrades.
In truth, our little drummer boy was
looked upon with 80 much favor, and he
had shown such clear-headed ability on
certain dangerous occasions, that when
the commander felt anxious to learn
certain particulars in regard to the en-
envy he delegated Harry to go upon the
hazardous mission.
Keep your eyes open, my boy, as l
know you will, and will risk you to so
where l would not dare send any scout

forget that you are in the enemy's coun-
try, and that a single mistake will cost
you your life, 1 shall not put you from

Feeling, as every true soldier should,
the Importance Of his perllous under

dusly in the deeper forest, and soon the
shades of night would enable him to
