A DWARF IN BATTLE.
Casnn Won Praise and Honor from
the Great Genghis Khan.

Casnn Won Praise and Honor from
the Great Genghis Khan.
Now it so happened that Genghis, in
order to subdue the deserters from his
fathers tribes, had dethroned several
princes or l1hans. These petty chiefs
had been in the habit OF paying tribute
to the great sovereign of the Kin em-
pire in North China. This high and
mighty potentate now demanded money
from Genghis Khan, thereby rousing
the ire of our AIongolian warrior, who
announced that rather than pay one
cent for tribute he would fight the
whole Chinese kingdom. Preparations
for war were at once begun, and Casan
was delighted when he received orders
to join the army. At last his dream
was realized. He was going to fight real
battles, and he was in command of a
body of troops. He bade adieu to his
family, and with proud heart set out
to meet his sovereign.
AS first step Genghis Khan invaded
western Hea, captured several strong
holds and retired in the summer to a,
place called Lung Ting, in order to es-
cape the great heat of the plains or
steppes. While there news reached
him that several other khans were pre-
pairing for war. He thereupon descend
ed from the heights, marched against
his foes and in pitched battle on the
River Irtish he overthrow them COM
pletely. Casan attracted great deal of
notice on this occasion. He was here,
there and everywhere. On his mettle-
some charger he bounded into the,
fight, hurling his lance with unerring
aim and displaying great courage.
After the fray he was summoned to
appear before the conqueror, who COM
plimented the dwarf, saying: "Thy
valor and thy courage have completely
justified thy promises. From this day
forth thou shalt be khan; thou shalt
have command of large body of troops
and shalt hereafter be my companion in
arms" MARY Shearz Roberts, in St.
Nicholas.

SOMEBODY'S GRANDMA.

And n Flower Girl Reminded the Lit
tie Old Woman of the Fact.
She was old and wrinklefl. Her form
was bent with the burdens of mtr:y
years, and her hair had whitened as
the sands of life ran through the hour
glass of time. Her clothes were old and
shabby, and the shawl which protected
the gray head from storms and sunshine
had doubtless served the old woman
many years, for it was frayed and worn,
and bore the marks of much usage.
The little old woman was one Of that
vast multitude of beggars which sub
s-sts upon the charitable people of St.
Louis. On her arm was the regulation
chip basket, doubtless half filled with
the food of charity, and as she hurried
along among the crowd of toilers Ell
joying the bright noon hour on the
street, the little old woman hugged the
basket close, as if she were afraid it
would be taken from her.
Suddenly the sweet voice of child
stopped her. It was the voice of little
flower girl, in a large sunbonnet. 1t
was evident that the little old woman did
not know her, and she turned and
started on again. But the child ran to
her with bright red rose in her out
stretched hand.
Don't you want rose, grandma?'
The little old woman turned and took
the flower, which seemed still moist
with the dew of heaven, and kissed It
with'her withered, trembling lips, which
tried to speak the words of thanks and
Joy she felt, but could not utter. She
looked up, and the flower girl was gone.
The little old woman sighed, then
smiled again, and pressed the flower to
the lips as they murmured the word
"Grantlma." And she smiled again, and
again started on her way, the rose.
