as a vindication Of his character.

The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1898-06-18


There was a soft football and a
little scratch OF finger nails and Tommy
had left school for that day He ran
softly down to the spring and throwing
himself upon his stomach, drank some
of the clear. cold water Tnen he
pushed his torn, straw hat down on his
head and walked away into the shady
trees.
Well into the woods. by the busy,
rustling little brook. was tall pine tree.
A wild grape vine had twined and twist
ed itself arounC the trunk and entang-
led every bough. Then. in its further
growth, it had caught the branches of
neighboring trees and fastened itself
firmly there. Into this seemingly imperi-
Gus mass of foliage Tommy clambered
and was soon in his nest. Some of the
pine branches had decayed and the
vine had lined the little chamber left
by their death, with its owa soft green
leaves. Tommy leaned back comforta-
bly, and half closed his eyes. A squirrel
chartered busiIy in the branches Of a
neighboring tree and spying the intrud-
er, caused silent for moment. and
scurried noisily away. The two orioles,
his next neighbors, eyed him askance at
first and then settled down busily to
their building, stopping now and
then to break the stiffness with a song.
Down below the brook splashed cheer
lily along. A very light little breeze
moved the leaves above and occasionally
little sunbeam found its way into the
nook. Tommy took out his psnknife
and began lazily to make whistle. Far
away a single cowbell rang and now
and then the distant sound of the Gee.
Haw!" of some plowman could be family
heard.

grass in broad meadows ana gilmmereu
on the large fields OF dark earth and OF
fr sh young grain.
Tommy Williams rolled his bare toes
in the dust of the path which ran along
the hedge. and flung his books from one
shoulder to the other. He gazed across
the meadows at the left to the line OF
hanging woods in the valley beyond and
the long row of bushy willows which
marks the course OF the creek. Across
the valley. high against the horizon.
the huge masses OF the hills rose blue
and hazy in the morning air. In front,
the big woods were, dark green. cool and
thick. Tommy whistled loud as he hur-
ried along. stopping now and then to
nick grass flower; TO pull up some
sheep sorrel which he chewed with
great delight; or to watch the building
of new ant hill. He was suddenly
aroused by the clang OF the school bell
and started on a run for the little
building set on the edge OF the woods.
As he entered the low door he gave
wistful look toward the fresh, moss
carpeted wood. and down at the shim-
mer of water through the willows on the
creeks bank.
Thomas Williams. late" the teacher
said in loud voice. and added, frown-
ing. This makes five late marks,
Thomas. shall be compelled TO give
Won some severe punishment il you are
NOT ON time after this" And he set the
long whip little straighter in its cor
ner.
Tommy glanced fearfully at him and
pulled at a loose button on his brown
coat nervously. Then, he slipped into
his seat.
The lessons began and the monoto-
pou. hum OF the children's voices with
the everlasting buzz of a blue bottle fly
near the raised window, made every
thing dull and sleepy. Tommy leaned
both elbows on his geography and began
with a long list OF questions. What is
the capital of Vermont he read slowly
TO himself. What is the Capital OF
Nermonts What as capital OF Yer
monts-Vermont. Tommy's head LODI
ded low over the open book and the
letters jumbled themselves together in
a black BLUR. Ned Jones, across the
aisle. watched the sleepy head fall lower
and lower, and, leaning over, quietly
pricked Tommy's bare leg with bent
pin. Tommy sat up very straight and
looked quickly and round eyed at Ned
who was intently bent IN his own geog-
raphy.
Tommy gazed at him moment and
then bent over and administered vic
ious punch in Ned's side with his small
fist recovering himself just in time toes
cane the teachers vigilant glance which
swept over his row at that moment.
Tommy leaned back ard setting his
geography up in front of him, ga"ed
thoughtfully out of the window. On
the little slope which led down tc the
spring. a wild rose-bush was in full
bloom and near to it, under the shade OF
a crooked tree, wild morning glory
climbed and spread itself above, covering
the green grass with its white bell
flowers. Down the valley Tommy
could hear family the mellow sound OF
two or three COW bells. and he knew that
the COWS were going TO the creek for
water. He sighed deeply and then be-
gan TO watch an oriole which had perched
itself on a limb OF a tree outside and had
begun 10 sing. He thought eagerly

Mr.. Bruce's death had been ex-
pected for several days. He suffered

ginia, ffty-seven years age. He
received the rudiments OF education
from the tutor of his masters son.
He taught school for a time in Han
nibal, No, and later became a stu
dent at Oberlin, o In 1869 be
became planter in Mississippi and
was appointed member of the Mis-
sissippi levee board. He was elected
sheriff of his county and subsequent
ly superintendent Of education.
In 1875, during the reconstruction
period, he was elected United States
senator as republican and seryed
until March l, 1881. He was a mem
Der of every republican convention
since 1868. At the end of his term
as senator, he was appointed by
President Garfield register Of the
treasury and later was appointed
recorder of deeds OF the District of
Columbia. About six months ago
he was again appointed register of
the treasury by President Mckinley.
Next after Fred Douglass. Mr..
Bruce had long been regarded as
perhaps the most conspicuous man
Of his race
Mr.. Bruce's only child, a son,
Roscoe G. Bruce, IL years old, ar
rived here yesterday from Exeter, |
N. Y where he is taking a prepare
tory course for Harvard. The funeral |
will take place Monday. The serv-

st. Joseph, Mo, March 16-City
Marshal George Ell. Leonard of Cam
eron, Mo. was deliberately muir
dered by a negro burglar he had
captured about $50 o'clock this

from the heart of the town Here
he arrested a suspicious looking
negro and took HIM into the waiting
room to search him Among ether
things found was bottle of brandy
which had been taken from the
house that he had robbed.
Before the work of searching the
negro had been completed, the door
of the waiting room opened and two
other strange negroes entered As
they came into the room, the mar
shall looked up and while he was
momentarily off his guard the bur-
glar wrested the officers revolver
from his hand, turned upon him and
shot him twice. Leonard fell 10 the |
floor and expired in a few second,
while all three of the negroes hur-
ried out of the building aud disap-
peared in the darkness
