Ot Such Nature InaC ANY Ok CS II
Likely to BE Affected.
Aretired business man of Cleveland,
who has a reputation among people
who know him for his kindness of
heart, was filled with distress the
other afternoon when he was ap-
preached by the fve-year- son of
one of the neighbors. The little fell
low was crying bitterly, and the kind
hearted man lost no time in making
troubles.
Come" he said, patting the boys
head, "tell me all about it. Who
hurt you?"
"N-n-nobody didn't hu-hurt me-"
the sufferer sobbed, ''b- b. but Dewey's
dead, boo hoo hoo hoov'
Dewey deadl Great heavens! That's
terrible. Where's the newsboy?
Dear, dear, dear, dear. I'm sorry to
hear that!'
And forgetting all about the dis
tress of the child he rushed into the
house, exclaiming to his wife:
Mamma, Dewey's deadp'
''Mercy on usn' the lady replied,
"where did you hear that?"
Little Francis Parker just told
me. Poor child, he's crying as if his
heart will break. I suppose his father
has just brought the news home from
down town. wish the boys would
hurry and get out this way with their
papers. BY George, this makes me
feel blue! There's been some treach-
ery-you mark my words! Dewey is
the victim of foul play. Now Tn for
wiping the whole darned Spanish race
off the face of the earth. Nothing
short of that will atone for our loss!"
By this time the gentleman had got
to walking around in circle, and his
wife felt it her duty to do something
to keep him from breaking down.
''Why don't you go over to the Par
kers," she said, ''and find out about
it? There may be some mistake. do
hope it isn't true
Eyes, hope 50 too." he replied,
mechanically, taking his hat as she
handed it to him, ''but I'm afraid it
is. I've had kind of premonition
from the first that something was go.
ing to happen to Dewey. This com.
pletely upsets me. It's just as bad as
if I'd lost member Of my own fami-
ly."
Then he went over to the Parkers,
little Francis having, in the meantime,
returned home.
Mrs. Parker and her daughter Grace
were sitting on the porch making
things out of fluffy lace and linen.
"Well," the kind hearted man said,
cts too bad about Dewey, isn't it?"
"Yes." Mrs. Parker answered, ''we
feel real bad about him. We had
really become attached to him.
"How and when did it happen?'
the gentleman asked, as he took his
chair that had been pushed forward
by Miss Grace.
''Re died this afternoon. l guess
he must have caught cold. The girl
had the hose out yesterday and sprin-
kled on him, and | think that started
it,"
The man with the kind heart sal
there, looking dumbly at the tive
ladies' for about minute, after which
he asked
''What do you mean?"
why" said Mrs. Parker, "the
little chicken that our milkman brought
in from the country to Francis. You
never saw it, did you? 1t was dear
little thing. Francis called it Dewey,
in honor of the hero of Manila. But, ''
she sighed, ''it's dead, and Francis:
has been crying all the afternoon.
The kind hearted man went home
shortly after that, and i'll answer to
his wife's anxious look merely said:

AUTUMN.

Along the leaf-strewed paths walk
Recalling summer days;
Not in a mood for human talk,
ponder Natures ways.
Till Summer parted with her breath,
No Autumn's sun could shine;
There is no life but comes from death,
Said Plato the divine.
Then, Autumn deem not all thine own
The splendors which we see,
FOR had we not the Summer known
These splendors could not be.
Ne love to see your banners red
Which Summer helped to weave,
And ev'ry canvas Summer spread
Thy gorgeous tints receive.

Yet all thy splcndors hut presage
The desolation near;
For Nature, though she did engage
You artist of the year,
Will send a rude and vandal band
Ere the new year is born,
Whose ruthless ravage through the lana
Will blast what you adorn.
Harsher than Summers seems thy fate;
For her thou didst caress,
And showed her as she fingered late
The utmost tenderness.
To thee, when summoned hence to leave,
No kindness will be shown;
For heartless Winter cannot prieve
For all thy splendor flown.
