A CHILD,s MEMORY.

A short time ago the 4-year-old child
of family residing in the Second ward
became sick, and one night asked his
father to sing to him, says the Cold
water, (Mich.) Reporter" Not wish
ing to injure the child, the father re-
fused, and instead recited a few vers-
es of poetry. This was just what the
baby wanted, and every night the IA
Their has put the child to sleep with
poems ranging from Mother Goose
to Longfellow. Last night the father
was tired, and when called upon for
his usual grafton replied by asking the
baby to do the reciting. To his sur
prise, master 4-year-old braced himself
up and gave the Village Blacksmith
and several other short pieces as readi-
ly as his father would have done.

USED ROCKS.

Benjamin Banks and William Gates
had slight difficulty on South Laredo
street last night about o'clock in
which some rocks played very con-
spicuous part. While they were thus
paying their compliments to each 9TH
er Officer Quintana appeared on the
scene which Immediately caused them
to cease their mutual pombardment
and strike out in different directions,
Gates going through a saloon on La
redo street and Banks taking refuge in
the Washington theatre, where the
officer followed and arrested him.
Mayor Callaghan this morning fined
Banks five dollars and continued the
case of Gates. The case against Gates
will very likely be dismissed as several
others were also concerned in the row
and all were after Gates. Mic Montez
and Will Rife were two of them. Mon
tez was arrested by officer Ellerman
last evening about o'clock and war
rant was issued for Rife this morning.
Montez failed to appear in court this
morning to answer to his charge and
Mayor Callaghan forfeited his bond
and issued an alias warrant for him.
Montez has given the officers consider
able trouble of late, having been con-
cerned in a number of fights.

so to Inc dining room for something, but
found the door locked, and no one in the
house could tell what had become of the
key. Later on friends began to arrive
from BROOKLYN, New York and Newark,

until the broad smile of her mother be-
trayed the secret. Miss Morrow was the

ents, among them being a handsome gold
purse, the gift of a New York friend; q
beautiful silk umbrella, q handsome fur
boa, and such q profusion of flowers that
