morning?"
Better ma'am. Can have some
pumpkin ple?"
The voice was weak, but there was in
1t note of strength which had been alb
sent the day before. His skin was moist,
his eye clear-decided1y No. 81 was bet
ter.
Il can have 1t. can't I. ma'am?" his
voice quavering with anxious expectancy.
MY boy. I'll send you one directly.
But be careful DON'T eat too much at a
time"
A ghost of smile played about his rals
shrunken lips as he replied: "I'll try,
ma am.''
Not very long afterward Tidy entered
the hospital al a-giggle, bearing the
pumpkin pie. Again he ate greedily, and
again fell into a refreshing sleep.
So the boy from Mains got well, and de
always declared that If it had not been
for those pumpkin pies he surely must
have died. His gratitude to Mrs Harris
and the love he bore for the sweet rebel
lady who had done so much for him wsre
too great be expressed in the limited

Patriot.

One of the most important books of the
year will be 1.-THE Life of Gen. Robert E.
Lee" which will be published by Messrs
H. c. Hudgins & Co.; of Atlanta, Ga. It
may be expected as a ma tier of course
that Life of General Lee" sold at u
popular price, will have an immense cir
culation, and we predict that the pub
fishers OF this work will be kept busy
filling orders.
The book is written by DR.. Edward Jen-
nings Lee, Mrs. Roger A. Pryor. Colonel
John j. Garrett Mrs. Sallie Nelson Rob-
bins and General T. L. Rosser, all well
and widely known, and most of them
members of the Lee family. 1t will con-
tain an interesting early history of the
Lee family in England and America, and
an exhaustive military biography of the
great Confederate leader.
The manuscript furnished by these par
ties will be edited by R. A. Brock, secre-
tary of the Southern Historical society.

Mr.. Stoekton's originality and wit is a
style which Is simple and pellucid and
sweetsned with moderation and good
temper. His command of words and
phrases, which suggest wildly to the
mind of the reader little ldiosyncracies
and habits of his characters, is indeed
happy faculty.
Mr.. Stockton also first essayed the
short story as a form OF library produc-
tion, and has besn more successful in 1T
than possibly any other writer.
He has shown how possible it is to use
surprise as an effective element, and to
make the turn of a story rath=r than the
crisis of plot account for everything.
His latest work is "A Story-TelIers
Pack" a collection of short stories. For
myself, do not particularly enjoy short
stories, but somehow these by Mr.. Stock
ton are different from th= usual ones
and from the first line in each he gives
his reader a caprice to enjoy, while he
works out the details in succession of
amusing turns. "A Story-Tellsrs Pack"
is APPLY illustrated by several we'll

1t, but at critical stages of the game they were not equal to the emergency. There was greal deal of wrangling and kick ing, and the Willimantics sent one of their best players to the bench, and they wanted to take him back again, but the rules would not allow it. The attendance was the largest that has been this season, and the interest in the game Is noticeably increasing. Dennis Mccarthy, of Staf- ford Springs, acted as umpire, and his decisions were almost perfect, neither side finding any fault. He left at the end of the 9th inning to catch his train, and then there was two umpires. The batteries were: Willimantics, F. Sulli- van, Foran and M. Sullivan; South Will lingtons, Prue and Hall.
