A PRETTY INCIDENT.

The Kindness Of . Spanish Lady to
Lone Soldier Boy.
A recent traveller in Spain describes
a touching scene witnessed at the depar-
ture OF a regiment for Cuba All day
long there had been heard the meas
ured tread Of soldiers marching through
the street; all day long g1yly bedecked
boats had been passing to and from the
vessel that was 20 take them to Havana.
The twilight began to deepen when the
correspondent saw a startling and
pretty sight'-the imPetuOus action Of
a pOrtly, gOOd-lOOking and well-dressed
lady, who noticed a young soldier walk
ing dejectedly along down the pier in
his travelling gray, with knaPsack
strapped over his shoulders All the
rest Of the men had friends, their
novias, mothers, relatives, and made
the usual gallant effort to look elated
and full Of hope. This lad had no one,
and il might be OWNED that he was car
] wing a desOlate heart over tho seas.
The handsome woman burst from her
group Of friends, took the boys hand,
and said: my son has already gone to
Cuba. He is in the regiment of Andalu-
STA, and sailed two months ago You
may meet him, Pepe G.; take this kiss
to him." She leaned and kissed his
cheek"
An English boy would have shown
awlwarness, but these graceful
sUutherners are never at loss for a
Tsretty gesture and 4 prettieF word.
Tho boy blushed With pleasure, and still
holding the lady's hand, said with quite
natural gallantry, without smirk or
silly smile: And may I not take one
for myself as well, senOra?' The lady
REDEEMED, laughed a little nervOusly-
and bent and kissed him again to the
frantic applause Of soldiers and civil
ians, while the boy walked on, braeed

What is desired is to get back about
$4,000 Of the money stolen and
turn it into the treasury. The
full amount Of the steals viii

committee has gone back only

The bicycle in Great Britain.

It sounds funny to learn that the in
Huence Of the bicycle is felt even in the
parliament Of Great Britain In that
conservative assembly, a tall silk hat is
recognized as essential, and all mem
bers who can afford it come in their car
riages. Of late, however, members have
taken TO the wheel, and now they make
their appearance in short coats, derby
hats and even russell shoest The ultra
conservative members gasp in horror
at these innovations, but there really
does not seem TO be any way to check
these startling changes.-GOlden Days

cHIDED Her MOTHERS SPIRIT.
Practical Young Woman Didn't want
to BE Aroused Mt Night.

Kansas City has at least one young mar
ried woman who takes a very prosaic view
of ghosts and sO-called spirit manifestations
She was forced to spend a night alone IN a
st. Louis hotel, her husband being detained
elsewhere by business In the dead OF the
night she was awakened out Of a sound sleep
by tremendous noise IN the wardrobe 1t
was such a sudden and unearthly uprOar
that the woman, sensible and practical
though she was, was frightened The noise
ceased, then returned The woman jumped
up, lighted the gas, and made thorough
search both Of the wardrobe and the room.
There was nothing 50 far as the evidence OF
the senses went which could account for the
racket. The woman put out the light and
went back to bed. The noise was not re-
peated-
Six months afterward. however, the
woman was IN San francisco, and Tor the
first time IN her life, and solely out Of Gu
riosity, she attended a Spirltualistic meet
ing Almost Immediately the medium, a
perfect stranger, turned to her and said:
''The spirit Of your mother Is present, mad
am, and she says that SIX months ago mann
ing the precise date) she tried to eOmTnuni-
cate with you by means OF the wardrobe IN
the Blank hotel, St Louis
The wOman's practical good sense did not
desert her

that the next time she wants to cOmmuni-
cate with me not to make such anaWful rack
