The BABY Got 1t.

Somebody who spent some time
at a certain resort last summer
vouches for the following, which, il
not strictly new, is at least very
creditable development of an old
story. A mother, a baby and a nurse
were seated together on the veranda
one morning with a number of other
guests. The mother was deeply en-
crossed in q book. The nurse was
occupied by trying to keep the baby
out of mischief. "No, no; the baby
mustn't have it, was her staple re-
mark, repeated over and over again
and invariably followed by walls
from the thwarted infant. Present
ly the mother, without lifting her
eyes from the book, said: "Do let
him have it, nurse, and at once.
Anything to keep the peace. - "But,
ma am began the nurse. "Do as
l say" interrupted the mother.
"The baby is to have whatever he
wants. For an instant there was
silence, then shrieks so piercing that
the preceding walls were as nothing
beside them. In accordance with
his mothers orders the baby had
just grasped q bumblebee.-Phila-
deiphia Times.

Unconscious Sufferers.

There are numerous cases on
record where men suffering from
some form of paralysis have been
charged with drunkenness and have
suffered in consequence most severe,
ly in mind, if not in body. It is far
from being an uncommon circum-
stance for man to receive in some
street row, or, as the result of some
practical joke, an injury to the head
or spine, not serious enough perhaps
at the moment to disable him, but
certainly dangerous if not attended
to at once. He may leave the zicini-
ty where he received the hurt, may
possibly walk for miles, go into q
restaurant and take something to
strengthen his nerves; then go out
and gradually sink into state OF
Inconsistencies and be found in q
doorway or lying i'll the road, bear
ing every indication of intoxication.
The breath may smell of the stimu.
liant he has taken, he is stupid and
helpless, and at once the Impractical
eye stamps him as drunk and in
capable. Locked up by himself be
speedily becomes feverish and seri.
ously i'll and dies without assistance.
This is no highly colored picture.
Cases occur over and over again,
and we regret to say that it appears
to be the common practice of the
ordinary policeman to arrest and
take to the station house any per-
son who is acting strangely or stu
pidly in the street OF who exhibits
signs that are generally accepted as
indicating the use of intoxicants.
The proper place for these unfortu.
nate persons is not the police sta
ton, but the hospital.-New York

BuTTERcuPs AND CLOVER.

Down on the desk she laid her head,
The starting tears concealing,
Down in her heart the ache was there,
The dreary homesick feeling.
The little mistress, all alone,
Felt friendless and forsaken.
The daily drudgery of life
Had all her courage taken.
ssNobody cares.' she whispered low.
She certainly was crying.
She listened to the plaintive breeze
That through the pines came signing.
She heard noise, and some one now
Vas through the entry walking
And then was standing by her chair,
Just at her elbow, talking.
4Please, teacher said childish voice,
(What was it Jack was saying?)
r.You looked as though your mother would
Not let you go out playing.
ssI thought that you was feeling bad
And that you'd like some candy,
But when hunted in my bank
There want penny handy.
UA And so went and brought you these,
Just buttercups and clover"
Her tears were falling on the flowers,
But soon the shower was over.
He pointed to the buttercups.
"You see. play they re money"
Then showed her in the clover blooms
How she might find the honey.
"Dear little Jackl'' Some one did care.
She kissed him three times over
mhe whole room seemed to be in bloom
With buttercups and clover.

Tho Prince and the Gambler.

In Austria and Germany the army
laws against gaming were and still
are very strict. When the duchy of
Baden was occupied by Prussian
troops after their suppressing the
insurrection of 1849, the officers
uuartered at Rastadt were warned
against playing at Baden Baden.
One summer evening King (then
Prince) Wilhelm strolled into the
gaming rooms and noticed an officer
in civilians clothes sitting at play.
He had won twice on the red and
was about to pick up his money
when he caught sight of the prince
watching him. Terror stricken, he
sat quiet, not daring to reach out
for his winnings. The red turned
up a third and then a fourth time.
AS the maximum was quickly reach
ed the prince touched the officer on
the shoulder and said gently, Take
up your money and go, lest one of
your chiefs should find you here.
Of course the soldier did not re-
quire to be told twice. He got out
Immediately. Two days later there
was roview at Rastadt, during
which Prince Wilhelm sighted tho
culprit and sent for him. Lieuten-
ant =" he said, latter you went
away the red turned up four times
more. | prevented you from Will
ming four times the maximum,
which you would certainly have
staked. You will draw on mo for
that amount. But take my advice
donot gamble again. The memoirs
of an old German general who lived
to see his last victory ut Sedan have
stated as follows: 1T was the kind
ness of the lesson that cured me of
gaming For me it was better than
Il years Imprisonment.
