IiuI. thc Union,

Yes, sir, | fought with Stonewall,
And faced the flghr with Lee;
But If this here Union goes to war,
Make one more gun for me!
i didn't shrink from Sherman,
AS he galloped TO the sea.
But If this here Union goes TO war,
Make n more gun for me!
/ vas with 'em nj Manassas
The bully boys in gray;
j heard the thunders roarin'
Round Stonewall Jackson's way.
And many a time this sword of mine
Has blaZed the route fer Lee,
But If this old Union goes to war,
Make n more sword for me!
I'm not so full o fghtin'
Nor half so full o. fun.
AS was back in the sixties,
When ! shouldered my old gun.
IL may be that my hair is white,
Such things, you know, must be,
But If this old Unions in for fight,
Make n more gun for me!
] hain't forgot my raisin',
Nor how, In siXty-two
or thereabouts, with battle shouts
charged the boys in blue;
And say l fought with Stonewall,
n blazed the way with Lee,
And If this old Unions In for war,
Make n more gun for me!

cause, l tell you, frankly, IL my niece does
not consent to marry you, | shall marry my
self. All my friends are eagerly solicitous
for me to do SO; they do not like the prospect
OF seeing a grand old inheritance like this
fall into the hands OF a willful, capricious
girl. But | tell you in confidence, Aubrey, l
do not wish to marry. l am a confirmed old
bachelor now, and it would be a sad trouble
to Inc to have my life changed by marriage.
Still l would rather marry than that harm
should come to Darrell Court"
Certainly" agreed the captain.
II do not mind telling you still further that
i have seen a lady whom, II l marry at all, l
should like to make my wife-in fact, she re-
sembles some one l used to know long years
ago. l have every reason to believe she Is
much admired and sought after; so that I
want you TO settle your affairs as speedily as
possible. Mind, Aubrey, they must be set
tled-there must be no deferring, no putting
off; you must have an answer-yes or no
very shortly; and you must not lose an hour
in communicating that answer to me-"
Il hope il will be q favorable one" said
Aubrey Langton; but his mind misgave him.
He had an idea that the girl had found him
wanting; he could not forget her first frank
tiiub CIV dlu IlOl I'M lllll.
IF she refuses me, have l your permission
to tell Miss Darrell the alternativeg' he ask
ed of Sir Oswald.
The baronet thought deeply Tor some min
utes, and then said,-
Yes; it Is only fair and just that she
should know it-that she should learn that II
she refuses you she loses all chance of being
my heiress. But do not say anything of the
lady / have mentioned"
The visitors were coming on Tuesday, and
Thursday was the day settled for the ball.
"All girls like balls" thought Captain
Langton. Pauline is sure TO be in a good
temper then, and | will ask her on Thursday
night
But he owned TO himself that he would
rather a thousand times have faced a whole
battalion Of enemies than ask Pauline Oar
rell to be his wife.

WOMEN AND THE WHEEL.

From the Gazette. Dela1care. Ohio.
The healthfulness of bicycle riding for
women is a disputed question.
Used in moderation 1t surely creates for
women a means Of outdoor exercise, the
benefit of which all physicians concede.
Used to excess, like any other pastime,
its effect is likely to be dangerous.
The experience Of Miss Bertha Reed,
the seventeen-year-old daughter of Mr..
j. II. Reed, 1876 Lake street, Delaware,

Adventures OF a ROYAL Cradle.

Pail Mall Gazette: The oak cradle
in which Mary Queen Of Scots was
rocked is very handsome and well pre-.
served, though it has passed through
many vicissitudes. She was born on
the 9TH day of December, 1912, at Lin
lithgow palace, which was the favorite
residence of James V. of Scotland, and
his young wife Mary Of Guise. The
royal father never saw his child, for he
was on his deathbed at Falkland pal
ace when she came into the world. The
palace at Linlithgow was burned by
General llawley's dragons after they
had been defeated by the Highland
army under Bonnie Prince Charley"
in 1746, and the oak cradle was most
likely looted" and got into the hands
of a woman who used it for her own
babies and passed it on to her children
and children's children. From her
granddaughter il was, states Il writer

years ago by Mr.. Joseph V. Patton, II

Dunfermilne, who made a fine collec.

account Of it: ~ man whom my
father employed TO look on for any old
carved furniture in the neighborhood
of palaces went into a house near Lin.

department Is engaged in investigating
strange case of poisoning. Postmaster
Smyth Is assisting the Washington official.
A stick OF thunderwood burned I'm an open
crate sent Its poisonous fumes through The
family room of Mr.. L. S. McMullen, a we'll
krown electrician, and for two weeks his
family have been at the point of death
although they are very nearly well now
The poisoning was so strange and unusual
as TO be looked upon with disbelief, but
close medical examination has proven that
the deadly thunderwood did the work
by some means the attention of the gov
eminent was directed to the case and its
remarkable features led the officials to
send man to Investigate. Thunderwood
has always been regarded as the most
poisonous species OF forest wood. II is es-
pecially dangerous because of the fact that
1t Is SO similar to other varieties of trees
that it can with difficulty be detected. a
stick OF the wood was by mistake mixed
with Mr.. McMullen,s supply Of wood
and the accidental poisoning resulted.
A. the beginning Of winter he bought q
supply OF wood to last him through the
cold season Two weeks ago the servant
placed the wood on the IRE. not noticing
that 1t was poisonous. The members OF
the family who were In the room at the
time were Mrs. McMuIlen, Miss Ola Nc
Mullen and the two young boys of the fam
ny, Park and Anderson McMullen,f aged
ten and twelve years. respectively. After
the stick of thunderwood began to burn
those in the room noticed a peculiar odor.
There was no explanation and it was
hardly noticeable the family thought little
OF it. In half hour the odor OF the burn
ing thunderwood was so strong as to be
detected in all parts of the hou.e. The
four occupants Of the room We re soon
deathly sick and doctor was summoned.
The stick of wood was taken from the fire.
The doctor who attended the suffering
family announced that the family was
sick from inhaling the fumes of the burn
ing wood. He had never heard OF such an
occurrence before and was much excited
over the discovery that a dry stick OF
thunderwood could contain such deadly
qualities.
AS thunderwood has always been regard
ed perfectly safe when dry, the case In
certainly remarkable The only instances
Of thunderwood poisoning on record are
those where persons have handled the
green wood. and then, except In rare cases.
no poisoning results unless the tree 10
bruised SO as to get some OF the sap on
the hands of the person handling it. In
few cases people have been poisoned by
walking near thunderwood trees. Persons
who are susceptible to poisoning IL per-
spring when passing near the trees are
liable to be poisoned
Mr. McMullen's family have all about
recovered. For several days there wers
grave doubts felt az to their recovery.
