A LOYAL AMERICAN GIRL.
Gladly Gave the Flowers from Her
Hat to Remind the Boys of
Home and Mother.

When the soldier boys left for the
south there was one bright-looking girl
standing on the depot platform, says
the Denver Times. She wore one of the
fashionable hats which appear like a
garden of flowers. AS she stood there,
with the tears coursing down her cheeks,
she saw the other girls burying the
brave boys in literal forests of flowers.
One of the soldiers stepping up to her
asked:
''Please, may I have one of those flow
ers on your hat?"
She took his hand, and in voice most
womanly said: eyes, sir, and may God
bless you"
Then she told them all to come and Sc
lect a flower from her hat. The boys,
with hands grim and bronzed from camp
life, carefully culled them from the
straw frame until they were all gone.
Then she put on what was left of it, and,
stepping back toward the car, said with
emotion:
"Boys, I wish there were more. I
hope you will come back again, and that
those flowers will remind you of the
pleasant scenes of home, and guide you
as your dear old mother would have
taught you to Co." ts! "
There were several girls standing close
by who whispered: II wouldn't ruin
my hat that way" but the wiser heads
remarked: There is loyal American
woman - God bless her" - Denver

MOUNT vERNoN's GUARD.
Little Old Co1Ored Man Hasn't Missed
q Day in Years.

Little Old COlOred Man Hasn't Missed
Day in Years.
Edward Parker, the little old colored
man who occupies the sentry box at the
tomb Of Washing ton at Mount Vernon,
lives in Washington, says the Washing
ton Star. That is, his family lives here,
and he comes over by special permit
of the organization which has control
of the old home of the first president
of the United States.
For years the tomb of Washington
has been constantly before this old COL
ored mans vision. He has never missed
a day from that dingy sentry box since
Mount Vernon passed into the charge
of the ladies, and before that, dating
from 1s41, he had lived on the place.
He was slave of John Washington, and
is the last of the old servants now liv-
ing.
Every other Saturday Parker comes
over to Washington, always carrying
with him an old-fashioned carpet bag,
so common in the days of reconstruct
tion. The following Monday morning
he may always be seen a half hour at
least before the first train starts for
Mount Vernon waiting around the cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and Thir-
teenth street. He has never missed the
first train since the electric cars began
running to Mount Vernon. Before that
the first boat to Mount Vernon, on al
ternating Monday mornings, always
found him a passenger.
Parker is, indeed character. He as
sisted in burying the last person con-
signed to the vault in the Washington
tomb. After that the key to the vault
was thrown into the Potomac. This
was in the early SOS.

VERY NEAR TO DEATH.
The Narrow Escape That q Chicago
Family Man Had From s Pre-

What a narrow line divides life from
death! said the man that got on at
Oak Park, reports the Chicago Times
Herald.
Been reading something" ?" asked his
seat mate, with quizzical smile.
t.sNo. Actual experience. Do I look
like 9 man who nearly died last night?"
Certainly not. = ou're the picture of
health"
s'Well, I did. After dinner laid on
the lounge for q few minutes rest,
when one Of the children slipped q piece
of candy in my mouth. cracked itwith
my teeth and at the same moment
coughed slightly. It was little cough,
but somehow I drew my breath, and
down went fragment of candy into my
windpipe.
"The next instant I was strangling.
My wife and children flew around in
distraction, but could give me no relief.
My throat puffed out in my efforts to
draw breath, my face grew purple,
and knots of sweat stood out on my
forehead. I suppose that's the way
drowning man feels. Anyhow, it was
something awful and indescribable."
i = And then the doctor cameo"
"There was no time for the doctor. I
held my head down and coughed, and
the piece of candy was dislodged. I
:breathed again. Blessed breath! The
revulsion was something wonderful,
and in two minutes I was myself again.
No, I can't laugh over it yet. I will
never be so near death again until my
end comes, and then pray to Heaven it
will come some other WAY"
