A certain hospital nurse of benevolent
nature, says the Boston Transcript. took
holiday on Dewey day, paid s. for scar
on one OF the fremont street stands, and
installed herself in It, all ready TO see
Dewey aud the procession. But before
the procession arrived a woman tainted
down in front, and the kindly nurse went
down to help her. When the woman was
feeling better the nurse went back to re-
sumo her seat, but found that man had
taken IL. She appealed 10, an usher, but
obtained no satisfaction.
Then she went to the nearest policeman,
and said to him, Il am a hospital nurse.
and left my seat to take care of a wo-
man who had tainted, and when I came
back a man was in my seat, and they
won't give it back to me-" The policeman
smiled a pleasant smile. and gave a little
wink, and said: You cCme with me- mad
am; I viii take you TO a place that's Just
as good. The nurse went with him. and
he conducted her to a little incosed space
where there were no people, but where.
| though she was obliged to stand she could
see even better than she could from the
seat she had left
Presently there was a shout of Make
way there" and a couple of policemen
came up carrying a fainting woman and
put her into the little space where the hos
pital nurse was. OF course she offered her
services, but she said to herself, For
PHYS sake! am l going to have nothing
but fainting women to-day?" She had no
more than got this woman on her fe
than there was another cry. and another
fainting woman was brought in. This
went on till the procession arrived and the
Admiral passed. The nurse was on Ter
knees tanning a woman OF the time, AMI
saw nothing of Dewey whatever. And so
she kept on through the day.
The fact was that this little space had
been set apart by the autho lilies for tn
reception and care of fainting women, and
the astute policeman who conducted the
nurse to it, on her statement Of her grev-
ance, had provided the place with an ex-
perienced nurse by a very ingenious pro-
ceeding indeed.
1t was very early, says a writer in the
Womans Home Companion, and l was en-

and as l wandered near abe Pare Mouceau
| l heard from a neig lboring street the
strains Of a reed instrument. Looking for
this early musician | found him a man

ant costume of the French. Surrounding
him were three goats and a dog of the
shepherd variety. Resolving to know what
business could bring such an o.d-tlme pic
ture into the streets Of the very modern
Paris l followed this strange collection of
man and beast. The music arose, a simple
strain with just a tinge Of melancholy in
it that sounded most out of place at such
time of day and in so delightful a neigh
borhood.
Suddenly a window opened and maid
called some words to the gentle shepherd,
who halted with his caravan in front Of
the mansion with the open window. THE
maid appeared holding a pitcher, and VI

the man called one Of the goats to him and
drew from her the quantity of milk neces-
sary for use in madame's household that
day.
What is your goats milk used for?"
asked !, approaching the man.
oh" replied he, Some of the French
ladies are delicate, and when they are not
well it is the milk from the goat that
brings health back to the body. and bloom
to the cheek"
is this a new business?" l questioned.
mo" he replied; for many years the
only means from which our family obtain

our little herd Of goats at Sablonville, just
beyond the Porte des Ternes."
