that sacred name for the sake of getting
her own way But the effect is magical
on Tom; remorse stirs his heart; he re-
calls all the tender injuncti rs of that
dead mother about her darling, and his
will is broken like reed at the remem-
brance. 1t is true he is all she has; he
is her defender, her support. her shield
against trouble and sorrow; it is not for
him TO thwart and grieve her. She is

Souvenir Postal Cards.

The picture postal card is 50 rapidly
growing in favor abroad that it appears
to he simply Il question of time when
the United States will take up the same
thing. These cards which are in such
general use in European countries are
the ordinary sized card and sell for
about the same price as the common
card. But they are emhelliShed with
pretty pictures of places Of interest in
the town or city from which the writer
may be sending the card to his friends.
Thus instead of writing a long descrip-
tive letter on the beauties of the place,
you can simply buy half dozen differ
ent picture postals and write your let
Ter on them and your friend will have
a much better Idea of the place that
YOU wish 10 describe than if you had
written pages. 1t will also serve as Il
souvenir Of great beauty.

One Effect of His Congressional Speech
es in His Rural District in Alabama.
That active old Confederate cavalry
leader and energetic member of the
House of Representatives, Gen. Joe
Wheeler, was recently struck in
strange manner with his own iniquity,
according to the latest story about him
from Alabama 1t is well known in
Washington that Gen. Wheeler has the
largest list of names Of constituents of
any member of Congress. There are
fully 10000 solid free silver Democrats
in the eighth district to whom he sends
copies of his speeches and Government
publications. of different kinds. 1t is
devotion to his constituents in this and
many other ways that keeps him con
tinually on the jump from the time he
arrives in Washington till he departs
again.
The last time he was down in Ala
bama. so the story goes, Gen. Wheeler
was riding through the country one day
in a shabby little blackboard, drawn by
n yellow pony. when he came near

The invitation was accepted prompt
" enough, and the mail sack slowed
away under the blackboard seat The
two rode along for awhile, when Gen.
Wheeler said:
Friend. why don't you have n horse
and wagon: \ man Of your years
ought not to go tugging under heavy
mail sacks on his shoulders"

mail carrier. "ef it waren't fer Gen.

Without disclosing his own identity
Gen. Wheeler is reported to have been
much affected, so much 50 that he drove
ten miles out of his way to put the aged
mail carrier down at his destination.
Then he purchased his constituent a
horse that cost $50.
