could not open the other door-and SO I
cried and went to sleep"
And where did your mamma go, lit
lie one?" Dickey Culvers voice could
be gentle as a mammals upon occasions.
"Why, don't you know? She said she
was coming, too
Dickey dropped the curtains of the
berth and went into the forward car to
look for the conductor. One of the
curious passengers of the night before,
an early riser, stopped him as he went
along and presently good woman, the
curious passengers wife, went back
into the sleeper and came out with the
child in her arms. The matter was well
known to all the women in the train by
this time, and, as women will, from
mysterious recesses of handbags and
satchels, they drew enough material to
II axe the child presentable in no time
at all. She was a pretty child enough,
with dimpled cheeks and blue eyes and
golden hair, and she told her story, all
whoever asked her-but there was a
culver in the warm, red lips now when
size asked for her mamma.
Dickey in the meantime had found
the conductor: The train stopped at
Green river anyway, and that was only
a few miles further on.
When the station was reached Dickey
and the train men jumped down from
the rear platform of the last sleeper and
peered under the trucks What with
snow and the cinders they could see
nothing at first, but presently the
brakeman muttered curse and crawled
under the car. The others followed.
There, on top of the trucks, wedged in
so hard and fast that it was amazing
how she had ever gotten into such a DO
sition, was the body of a woman. OF
course it was frozen stiff. Nothing
that lives can survive the blizzard that
sweeps across the Laramie plains. And
upon the body was 40 scrap of paper
giving the faintest clew to her name.
Diclley told the boys about it at the
Green Shades on the first night after he
came home. They were drinking hot
punches at the time, Dickey and Fes-
sender and the third assistant, and the
third assistant called for another and
shivered and swore III his beard that he
would adopt the little girl.

DO that exactly, either. She came to

LONG HAIR FOR MUSICIANS.
Its Value Practically Illustrated Through
NJ. Ysaye.


SIS long hair an unfailing mark of
genius?" The answer is: No, not nee
essarily, but it is certainly mark OF
| policy. 1t does not require any pro.
found wisdom on the part of a public
performer to know that it is better to
be talked about for his ugliness or his
eccentricity than not to have his per.
sonality discussed at all, and if a man

NAL face and figure, with the average
number of features and limbs, in what
quarter must he look for individuality
save in his hair?
NJ. Anne Lachaume, the Young
French pianist who is this year touring
with Rivarde, and who did the same
last year with Ysaye, tells how he hap
pened this season to bloom out as one OF
the long haired brethren. When he
first came TO this country NJ. Lachaume
wore his hair in everyday fashion, and
also cultivated rather tentative beard.
People heard him play, exclaimed:
"How unassuming!" went away, and
forgot him. Since his conversion, how
ever, the same persons cry: How hid
eous but the man is evidently a gen.
Jus. Bravo!" and they depart. and this
time do not forget.
1t was Ysaye who brought this
Nange about. Last year, in the course
~. travels, the Evo artists found
themselves in a town somewhere in the
west. They were sitting i'll room to-
gether, when Ysaye exclaimed: Its
no use, Lachaume, | can't stand that
beard of yours any longer; it is too
ugly, and it must come off,
But, my dear man." answered the
alarmed pianist, 81 have taken such
pains to grow that beard; it has cost me
years of labor and anxiety; besides, you
know one must have something dis
tinctive about one"
Yes, of course, | know that, but all
you've got to do is to let your back hair
grow like mine. And there no time
like the present, either, so you just sit
down in that chair there and We'll make
short work of the business"
No sooner said than done. In u few
seconds Lachaume was sitting trem-
bling in the chair, while the great
1saye welded the razor about his de-
voted chin.

but never scissors, and you are sure to

Never back to the rose hues of sunrise,
Though at even the clouds be gray,

Nor the innocence dear of our youth,
But the wisdom and strength of the victor
In the cause of eternal Truth.

And comfort with prophecy.

Hastens upward and onward Away,

For a CLEAN of the perfect day.

THE QUEEN AND THE "ORB."
How the Brave Girl Suffered Silently at
the Coronation.

How the Brave Girl Suffered Silently at
the Coronation.
At the coronation the ceremonies
lasted more than four hours, and
throughout the queen played her part
with wonderful composure. Care, says
writer, had been taken to provide
crown suitable for her small head, but
no one had thought about reducing the
size of the orb which she was required
to carry in her tiny hand.
what am | to do with it ?" she asked,
in concern.
Garry it, your majesty" replied
Lord John Thyme.
Am 1? 1t is very heavy" the queen
answered in tone of amazement
However, it was too late for protest.
and she obeyed the eXigencies of the
situation. u.
A worse mistake had been made
with regard to the ruby coronation
ring. The jeweler had made it TO fit
her majesty's little finger, whereas the
archbishop declared that according to
the rubric it must be put upon the
larger finger, and accordingly forced
it into that position. The queen bore
her painfully swelling finger with the
same heroism that she carried the
weighty orb. Afterward the finger
had to be bathed in ice water before the
ring could be drawn of. -Wcstminster

A Strange Old Man.

Last week on the streets in Elijay a strange figure was seen wandering here and there among the crowds-an old man with iron gray whiskers, cotton shirt, no coat, seedy straw hat and cot ton brooches rolled up at the bottom, barefooted and stoop shouldered, carry ing on his shoulder a strange looking, rude instrument. Presently he put it down and began to turn the crank and low, sweet strains of music came floating out of the strange machine. He was Jephtha Palmer of Jerusalem, Pickens county, and he played on perhaps the strangest hand organ ever made. He constructed it himself out of such rude materials as came ill his way. It took him ten months to complete the job. He is strange genius and goes bare footed by preference. Atlanta Consti- tuition
