pletod to accomplish really good results.
Reaching home and the nursery Mr.,
Edison started tho monograph and
brought the baby In front of it, But the
baby didn't cry. Mr. Edison tumbled
tho younestcr about and rumplod its
hair and did all sorts of things, bat still
tho baby didn't cry, Thon no made
dreadful faces, but tho baby thought
they were very funny and orowod joy
ously. So hwel, to the laboratory went
Mr. Edison IN very unpleasant frame
of mind, for tho baby's untimely good
humor had cot him an hour of work.
The phHnoGrarh was also taken back
But ho did not give it up. Tho ncxt
afternoon he won't homo again, and the
photograph with him. But If the baby
WIS good naturcd tho day before this
tiino it WAS absolutely cherpbic. There
was nothing ut all that its father could
do that did net mako the baby laugh,
Even the phonograph itself, with It's
tiny, whirrino wheels, tho baby thought
was meant for its special entertainment
and gurglod joyously. SO back % wol k
tho inventor went again, with temper
positively ruflod, Tho next day and the
next no tried il, but all to no purposo
Tho baby would not cry, even whoE
walked suddenly from sleep,
But to battle Edison is only to innama
his determination, which, by tho way,
is ono OF the secrets of his success. SC
at length after much thought he made
q mighty resolve, 1t tooka vast amoua,
of Getcrpligation ON his part to Screw
himself UP to tho point of commjti' z
the awful decd, but he succeeded at last,
and ono morning, when he know his
wife was down town, he went quietly
home with the phonograph and STEELE in
to tho nursery, where tho baby greeted
him with customary glee,
Starting the machine, Mr.. Edison or.
derod the nurse to leave the room. Their
no took the baby on his knee and barred
its chubby little leg. He took tho tender
flesh between his thumb and finger,
olinched his teeth, shut his eyes tight
and made ready to-yes-actually to
pinch the baby's leg
But just at the fateful moment the
nurse stepped through the door, and
perceiving the horrid plot flounced in
and rescued the baby in the nick Of
time.
Mr.. Edison breathed mighty sigh of
relief as he gathered up the monograph
and went back to the laboratory. He
then gave up the project of monograph
ing the baby's crying.
But not long afterward he accom-.
plished his purpose, after all, and quite
unexpectedly too As soon as the baby
was old enough to take notice, its
doting mother took it down to the lab
oratory one sunny day, and when the
big machinery was started a-roaring the
baby screwed up its face, opened its
mouth and emitted a series of woeful
screams that made Mr. Edison leap to
his feet.
"Stop the machinery and start the
monograph" he shouted, and the record
of his baby's crying was then and there
accomplished. New York Herald.

Paul Jones Believed In ChaplaIns.

Like Washington, Paul Jones consid-
cred a chaplain as useful and even a
necessary officer and offered, if one
could be procured, to treat him with a
distinction greater than any commanding
officer has since offered chaplain. He
wrote of this matter, He (the ohaplain)
should always have aplace at my table,
the regulation whereof should be entire
ly under his direction. The Count
d'Orvilliers' chaplain, whom Paul
Jones always affectionately addressed as
FEATHER john" was one of his most in

In the case Of Mary f. Campbell, of
Albion, Noble Co., Ind, her suffering
was so severe, her relief so suddenly real
lied, and her gratitude so great, that she
wishes the circumstances published, in
the hope that others may be benefited
thereby. She says:- -
"My physician told me had dropsy

THE BABY WOULDN'T CRY.

How Edison Finally Secured Record OF
His Firstborn's Woe.
Here is story they tell over the tea
cups in Orange, N. j., where Edison
lives:
The photograph came to the Edison
laboratory and the first baby to the Edi
son home about the same time, and
when the baby was old enough to say
"Goo-goo" and pull the great inventor 5
hair In most disrespectful manner, the
monograph was near enough perfection
to capture the baby talk for preserva-
ton among the family archives. So Mr..
Edison filled up several rolls with these

But this was not sufficient. The most

this its fond father determined to ST.

Curran, as a young man, was an
amateur of mGrionettes, and on one &C.
casion obtained permission from show
man to pull the strings that worked the
figures and to put words into their
mouths, So well did he acquit himself
of his task that the audience was in

four times as much as usual. 1t is said
that his success in finding retorts and
arguments for his little clients showed
Curran his true vocation and led him
to choose the bar for his profession. -
