Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1896-04-06

One night in 1901 little girl about
one year old was deposited on the
steps of the foundling hospital at
Brest. She was dressed with much
finery and note attached to her skirts
told that her name was Solange, and
that she would be reclaimed b. her
father, says an exchange.
The claim was never made, however,
and in due time the child was trans
ferred to the orphan asylum to be elu-
Gated there. As she grew up she de-
veloped most extraordinary beauty ;
but her intellect appeared to be very
weak and she suffered from frequent
nervous fits.
When she was twelve years old she
was sent out into the streets to sell
flowers, and her beauty and her mod
esty attracted many peoples good will {;
but she grew weaker and weaker, and
of last she died, or at least it was
thought so.
According to French custom, she
was buried in an open basket, and. as
it was winter and the soil was frozen,
she was laid into the grave covered
only with thin layer of sand. Dur
ing the night she awoke, and, pushing
the sand away, crept out from the
grave.
Not exactly understanding what had
taken place, she was not so very much
frightened, but in crossing the glacis
between the cemetery and the forti-
fications she was suddenly stopped by
the cry: "Qui vive?" and, as she did
not answer, the seminal fired and she
fell to the ground.
Brought into the guardhouse her
wound was found to be very slight and
she soon recovered. But her singular
history aud also her great beauty had
made SO deep an impression on young
lieutenant of the garrison Kramer
that he determined to be her protec-
tor and sent her to one of the most
fashionable educational establishments
in Paris.
During the next few years Kramer
was much tossed about by the war
but when, in 1918, he returned to
Paris he found Solange q full grown
woman, no. only beautiful, but accom-
plished and spirited, with no more
trace of intellectual weakness or ner-
vous fits. He married her and for
several years the couple lived happily
in Paris,

DON'T LEAN OUT OF PLUMB,

Did You ever observe in your rambles
about
The political scenes of the day
How often reformers engender doubt
by their oyerpunctilious way?
Their censorship always reminds me of
those
Who beneath my inspection have come,
Attempting TO strike a magnificent pose,
Have o'erdone it to lean out of plumb.
They lean too far back and, in fact be.
come hcrt,
Most foolish Tho posture they take;
And instead of expressing their upright
intent
They lead you to fear they may break.
They wish you to feel that they'r honest
and wise
And not at all crooked or dumb,
Yet there they will stand with their eyes
to the skies
And unconsciously lean out of plumb.
In trade or religion, in politics, too,
If our rcctitudc we would disclose,
Stand modestly forth to the popular view
And don't try to strut or to pose.
For ofttimes our eagerness may be too
great,
At least it has happened to some,
And our efforts to tower in matters of
state
Dwarf all chance as we lean out of
plumb.

An Eagle Steals a Babe.

Before the eyes of his mother, Har-
ry, the two-yearold son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. L. Morrison, of GAINESVILLE,
Fla, was carried forty feet in the AIR
by pet eagle and then dropped
The child wandered out to where
the eagle makes its home and
watches over one young eagle.
Mrs. Morrison heard Harry scream
ing, and, rushing out, saw him in tho
grasp of the bird. AS the mother ap-
preached the eagle rose.
Then the young eagle began TO
scream, and the mother bird slowly
descended. When some distance
from the ground the bird dropped the
child. 1t lodged in q thick cedar
tree. Mr.. Morrison quickly rescued
the child. The boy was stunned, but
no bones were 81 oxen. His face and
body, however, were terribly torn by
the eagle's talons.
