The Safest Place.

General Lee used to tell story about
darby that served in the war. 1t
seems during the heat of the battle
the general and his attendants were
posted on small knoll watching the
course of the action. They deserted a
colorsd soldier racing toward them,
leaping over obstacles in his path, his
face blanched with fear. He rushed
up and fell headlong on the ground in
front of Lee, crying. ooh, Massa
General, let me stay here" Lee saw
at once that the man was almost fright
ened to death, and useless as soldier.
1t disguised him somewhat, but his Gu
riosity was aroused, and he asked

A Curious Love Story,

Here's curious story of love and court.
ship: A few years ago young gentleman
of this city, while in Savannah, got into a
street car with heavy umbrella under
his arm. Like a great many other careless
people he held 1t at dangerous anglo,
with the point sticking out behind him,
and ere long the car gave lurch and
lady Just behind him emitted an ear split
ting scream. Everybody jumped and
looked, and to his horror the young man
found that the point of his umbrella had
come in contact with the nose of the young
lady seated just behind him. OF course he
apologized, or tried, but it was like apollo
giving for murder over the body of the VIC
tim, for the ladys nose was bleeding and
she was almost in commissions with pain.
The car was stopped at the next corner,
where there happened to be drug store,
and tho young man, aided and Allotted by
one or two elderly ladies, who at once took
lively interest in the case, helped the
young lady off and into tho store and post
cd off after doctor. One was found, and
the unlucky nose was soon put in working
order, and the owner, attended by tho
married ladies, was sent home in car
riage
The young man took her address and
hunted up mutual acquaintance, with
whom no called the next day to SEQ how
the nose was getting along. The nose did
well, SO did the young man, for by the
time the nose was out of danger he had
got in the habit of calling, so that 1t be-
came natural for him to step around in
the evening. So in the course of time they
were married, and sho is tho only lady in
the United States whose courtship began
by punch in the nose from her future
husband. Athens (Ga.) News.

Accidents to Birds.

A covey of partridges will, Tor some I'M
explained reason, upon occasion, lily rlght
out to sea and alight on the waves with as
little apparent concern as they would in
turnip field, though every single bird
among them is certain to perish by drown
ing.
1t seems almost incredible that bird
should break its wing in midair by the
mere exertion of flight. Yet four such ac-
cidents have been reported within the last
two or three years. A gentleman while
out quail shooting near the pyramids flush
ed an owl and mechanically raised his
gun, without any intention of firing, when,
to his utter surprise, the bird twisted in
its flight and fell to the ground as If shot.
On examination, the astonished sportsman
discovered that the poor owl had broken
its wing Although no such accident has
ever come within my own experience, L
have more than once while out shooting
seen q bird fly for upward of hundred
yards before the fractured bone of IA broken
wing had become displaced. An amusing
incident once happened to an old shepherd
with the spirit of the poacher strong with
in him. He saw covey of cartridges COM
ing along, and having sudden watering
of the mouth, lifted his walking stick and
took deliberate aim at one of the birds. To
his utter bcwilderment, it fell in the most
orthodox fashion, and after rolling over
began to run as winged partridge only
knows how. 1t had just come from bat
tue, where It's wing bone had been splin'
tered by stray corn of shot.-Cornhill

CURRENT LITERATURE,
What Rules the World.

They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He Yields mighty scepter
Der lesser powers that be;
But mightier power, and stronger,
Man from his throne has hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world"
In deep, mysterious conclave,
Mid philosophic minds,
Unraveling knotty problems,
His native sphere man finds;
Yet all his "ics and isms'
To heavens four winds are hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world"
Behold the brave commander
Stanch mid the carnage stand,
Behold the guidon dying
With the colors In his hand;
Brave men they be, yet craven
When the banner Is unfurled;
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world"
Great statesmen govern nations,
Kings mold peoples fate;
But the unseen hands of velvet
These giants regulate.
The iron arm Of fortune
with woman's charm is purled,
"For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world"

The old man put his trembling hand
down and brought it, with crash, on
the table, so that several women 81
ready made nervous by the excitement
skipped involuntarily out from their
seats.
"I heard 'em say back of me, with
smothered oath 1 won't repeat it
here ~
Ono, no." cried Parson Bean sharply
"And they called me John Duns-
combe as l was running. presume in
the confusion it was kind OF mixed up,
and they couldn't tell whether it was
me running and John that fell, or
John running and me that fell. l
couldn't hardly tell myself" The old
man drew his hand across his forehead,
"and | hain't felt right about it for
years"
"Oh, what shsmel" cried several
voices. "To keep it to yourself all
these years!" cried another.

bringing his hand down hard upon the
table.
The old man wavered and seemed to
sink under the scorn of the faces up

Yes, yesl" said the other feebiy.
"Well, when l got home it did not
seem to make much difference to John
he was dead, you know-whether he
run or not. So did not try to let 'em
know the mistake
els this all, now?" said the parson as
Jason stopped.
"Yes,' said the old man, "and 1
hain't never thought of it much till you
came for me to-day and said it was
time for me to get ready to leave the
world in peace, as l have got to now
before long, as Pm going on nigh
eighty, and then you said I'd better
come and do it tonight. So here be. F"
Pastor Bean raised his hand again
and said, Let us pray!" and now all
the people did listen, and many were
the tears that fell down on the shawl
ends and on the laps of the women,
while the men wiped their faces vigor-
ously with their bandannas and pre-
tended to keep quiet and composed.
Afterward, when all was over, and
they went to their different homes, a
procession of people went around by
