The interior department is looking up the extent of the United States jurisdiction over the Hot Springs reser- vation, with view of adopting some means by which stop can be put to the nefarious practice of quacx doctors and others in sending out drummers to rope in the afflicted who visit that re- sort.

But Tommy's audience didn't mind his

Little Willie Lamkin, who was lame,
sat quietly OH an old tree stump, his

up into Tommy's face as lie went on with
the story.
1t was Il long story, all about a Memo
rial Day parade which Tommy had seen
last year; and as none of these village
school children had ever seen u Memo
rial Day parade, you can imagine how
pleased they were to hear this interesting,
though noisy account.
Tommy had told them all about the
lines of marching men, the bands of mu-
sic, the waving flags and the sweet flow
ers on IL hundred brave soldiers graves,
and now wound up by asking:
II say, why can't we have IL parade to-
morrow, ourselves? The girls can get the
flowers. I'll bring my drum, and We'll

and all the children looked quite reprouch-

But a happy thought came to one of the
little girls. There was, on the main road
of this village by the sea, Il square gram
lite stone placed there many years before,
in memory of u young soldier who had left
the war with wounded lungs, and had
come home to die. When he could so no
farther in the jolting stage coach, he beg
ged to be left to lie by the fresh, green
roadside, under Il beautiful tree, and here
lie died in his brothers. arms.
The telling of his simple story had al
ways filled the children with awe. They
..ever passed the place without reading on
the plain headstone his name and the date
If his sad death. They could not do much,
but here was a little thing they could do
for one brave soldier, whom they had
never seen but whose name they loved.
So the next day, which was Memorial
Day, the neighbors looked out on a queer
little procession, headed by T'homas Judd,
Jr., beating Justify on his drum, and end
