HAD NO EYES FOR THE BABY.
The Judge Was Devoted to Chess and
Thought of Nothing Else.


The late Judge Sheldon, of Rockford,
H.. legal luminary and millionaire.
was noted chess player, deyoting his
entire evenings for many years to play
ing at the houses OF his friends, where
the ladies complained bitterly Of his
devotion 10 the game, To- their almost
total neglect. One of these, says the
Chicago Timcs-IIerald, was u charm-
ing young mother who'll had known the
judge since her childhood. Her father
was favorite partner of the Judge,
and the two spent their evenings to-
gciher in the home library playing
chess in the silence which the game in
wolves, and. as unsociahlc and taciturn
as they were. the young woman ntrud-
ed upon them, determined that the
Judge should see and admire her
beautiful baby.
Isn't he a darling?" she asked,
holding him forward for her fathers
bachelor friend to admire.
Absolute silence.
Now. dear Judge Sheldon. do Just
look at my sweet boy. Why, he is
perfect little angel"
The judge never lifted his head.
Il think the precious looks just like
papa. don't you?"
This appeal moved him. lie lifted his
eyes and looked at tho baby with n
blank stare. Then he turned again to
the chess table and said in his usunl
commanding voice:

The soldiers bed differs notably in
the different European armies. the
principal varieties being given below,

reflection of national characteristics.
says the London Mail. In England the
he'd is hard; the soldier lies on a thin
mattress that rests on canvas stretched
over a frame. In Spain the soldier has
only n straw bed. but he is allowed
besides this a pillow, two sheets, two
blankets and covered quilt, sometimes
even a cover for his feet. 1t is almost
SyJaritic. In Germany and Austria he
las a simple straw bed, with one or
two covers, neither sheet nor mattress.
In Russia until recently the soldier
slept with his clothes on, on camp bed;
but now ordinary beds begin to be
used-the result of contact with more
civilized countries. After this it cam
not be doubted that the French SOL
d;er's bed is the best of all, with its
wooden or iron bedstead straw bed,
a good mattress, sheets, brown wooden
coNerlet and an extra quilt for cold
weather. Thus the bed of The French
soldier is the softest of all soldiers

acknowledged also TO be the best of
all European countries.

No MAN in this or any other country
has bigger heart than Secretary Rus,
sell a. Alger. When the President and
Cabinet were discussing the undoubted
necessity of sending large quantities
of provisions into the Alaska gold re-
gions to prevent starvation among the
thousa nds of Americans who will be
there this winter, and regretting that
there was no public fund Mhich could
be drawn upon for such purpose,
Secretary Alger solved the problem by
announcing that he would send pro-
visions and pay all expenses out of his
own pocket, trusting to Congress to
see that he was repaid. He believes it
possible to keep the trail into the Klon-
dixie open all winter, and he proposes
20 endeavor to have his ideas carried
out The cabinet decided to send 100
q. S. soldiers to Alaska to help pre-
serve order.

At its last meeting the city council IN
structed CITY Attorney Cross to look up
the matters OF the North Aberdeen brldge
and see if it could be legally swung open,
and so lief. without providing Terry.
The council has been considering the
proposition OF no longer maintaining ihls
bridge, the which has caused consIdera-
BILE Indignation among the residents OF
North Aberdeen, and of many citizens OF
the town generally who nse the bridge in
going to the cemetery.
This bridge was built by Alexander
Young and others, with the exception OF
$500, and donated t" the citv, under Inc
provisions of ordinance NJ 80. The first
snau that the council VIII strike in any
ATTEMPT to lose the bridge will he Sec
ton 8 of said ordinance. which reads as
follows:
Sec. 8. That upon full compliance
with sections 6 and Z hereof all estate,
right, title and interest Of said Alexander
Young and his assigns in such bridge as
before mentioned shall become vested in
the said city ii Aberdeen who shall
MAINTAIN, WORK. MANAGE AND KEEP THE
SAME AS a FREE BRIDGE FOREVER.
Sections and Z relate to the transfer
of the rights Of Young in the bridge and
its approaches, with room for swinging,to
the city and Of the payment to him by
the city of The $500, all of which have
been complied with and are matters OF
record 1t would thus appear that the
city was bound to maintain the bridge
and as free bridge
The following resolution, also passed
at the last meeting. will, if carried to its
implied conclusion, raise storm OF pro-
test from the citizens of the town, espec-
tally those residing in East Aberdeen and
the merchants who deliver goods to
them. 1t reads
"That the city attorney he instructed
to examine the papers that passed be-
tween the former owners of the Heron
street bridge and the city and report at
the next regular meeting il there is any
legal reason operating against making it
Il toll bridge"
The Heron street bridge was built, as a
toll bridge, under the provisions OF ordi-
nance No. II, the city afterward exercis-
ing its option and purchasing the same.
Unless the deed OF transfer stipulated to
the contrary, the council doubtless could
convert it into a toll bridge.

AT SEA.

Shall we, the storm-tossed sailors, weep
For those who may not sail again,
Or wisely envy them, and keep
Our pity for the living men?
Beyond the weary waste of Sc
Beyond the wider waste Of death,
l strain my gaze and cry to thee,
Whose still heart never answereth.
Oh brother, is thy coral bed
So sweet thou wilt not hear my
speech?
This hand, methinks, if I were dead,
To thy dear hand would strive to reach.
1 would not, if God gave us choice,
For each to bear the others part,
That mine should be the silent voice,
And thine the silent, aching heart.
All, well, for any voyage done,
Whate'er it's end-or port Or reef;
Better the voyage meier begun,
For all ships sail the sea of grief.
