After weeks i'll the forest of Fontaine-
bleau it is difficult to realize its monoto-
nous amplitude, its endless repetition
of similar prospects. And yet as for
est it has lao surprising beauty. One
may compare it with Dartmoor-Dart-
moor pared of its highest tors and set
thickly with young trees, growing close
as the moss on a bowlder. 1t is "A roll
ing upland with scanty mantle of soil,
through the frequent gaps i'll which the
broken gray powders of the naked earth
sometimes rise in fantastic heaps some
times line concavities mile across, or
fringe the gaping lips of long ravines.
Like Dartmoor the surface is arid, and
you may tramp miles and see never a
pool, and yet, ON every side you may
descend from the forest by green valleys
ing miraculously from the dusty rocks
to dip under fringing willows
1t is to these happy skirts of the for
est that the painters villages cling;
Barbizon, advertised by Stevenson and
now abandoned to the cultured tourist;
Cernay, with its great village square &;
Marlotte, smothered under masses of Ii
laos like child laughing in new mown

er hanked steep pitched bridge, its
mills and ruined castles and spreading
river and dozen others. The simplest
of them turn austere faces to the solemn
spaciousness of the forest but their
comforts of the plain; an image maybe

THE FOUNDER.

"One morning Gus. Charley, Otto and I landed In Williamsburg, said the round- CT as he shook his half empty beer glass into foam preparatory to drinking it. Tt was about o'clock. That was the night the Italian hot corn vender sold us his entire stock for 35 cents under the mis- taken impression that there were only seven ears in the boiler. In reality there were about forty-seven, and we regaled all the trolley men at the ferry, much to their surprise and satisfaction. Then we travelled along a side street that l could not find now, and ran across bakery in full working operation. The smell or the baking bread reused the bangs of hunger again and we went down the steps into the cellar where the men were working. They glanced up at us as we came in without the slightest surprise on their fioury faces and kept on working. One man. however, who seemed to be the pro- prietor, came somewhere from the back ground of chirping cr1ckets and asked us what we wished. We didn't quite know and told him so, after a cursory examina- ton of all the doughy masses around us.
 Gus suggested that probably there was cake or something upstairs ln the store that would strike our fancy. We went up with some difficulty. The baker lit a gas jet and we gazed vacantly at the mottled cake in the showcases and the stale bread on the counter The baker looked at us inquiringly and We looked back with all the expressions that men can develop after paying the steady at tention to the business in hand that we had. Thus we all stood for fully three minutes min without saying a word. Then the man glided softly from behind the coun- ter and, in the most matter-of-fact man, man, ner imaginable, opened the door ana bowed obsequiously. We stared at him and he bowed again, holding the door open r with his left hand. Then Otto marched out. trying to hold his head es The man closed the door just as softly, and nd we heard the batter of his slippers as he turned out the gas and went back to his work. .ho,, moved away mechanically.

A SOLDIERS BABY sTARvEs.

The little babe two months old of Edward Linskey, private, Seventh Regiment, l. N. G., died at it's mothers breast of starvation. Private Linskey Is at Camp Tanner with his regiment, which has been mustered into the ser vice of the United States.
 Private Linskey went to the front with his regiment with the consent of his wife, and because he could not get work in Chicago. Although a capable workman for Gormully & Jeffrey, the discharge of a large number of men left him idle for two months. He could not find work His regiment was ordered out. He said to his wife: T will go, and the money get for being soldier I will send to you.
 But his babe died of starvation yes terday morning in a bare room at 240 Orleans street above a grocery store, which is filled with things to eat. The Coroner came, and he said after care ful examination that the mother had been so long without proper nourish- ment that her milk would not support the little one. and it died of an empty stoma ch in sight of a dozen churches and close to we'll organized charitable nstitutions-Chicag go Times Herald.
