ONLY ONE MAN.
The Pathetic Scene Which Followed
the News Of a Splendid
Victory.

The following touching sketch IS
of ''Middieway:"
Extra! Extra!" ring the @hrill voices
CT the newsboys. "'Nothsr victory!
Extra, extra:"
A young girl, hurrying through the
tarkening street, pauses pcament to
catch the glad tidings; then, choosing
the smallest of the ragged urch@hs who
instantly gather about her, she slips her
pennies into his grimy hand and eager
~ seizes paper.
Ten minutes more and she is f1ingsng
open the door of a quiet room, where a
grave-eyed woman sits by the window,
gazing out into the autumn twilight.
'Quick, mother, light" rings the
impetuous young voice. II have news
from the war. Another victory, and
only one man lost!"
A glad cry falls from the mothers
lips as she hurries to the table and wish
trembling hand lights the small lamp.
Both faces are eager, strained, az the
younger woman reads rapidly the jcy-
full news.
"Only one man lost''--she pauses and
the other exclaims THANK God!" but
the paper has slipped from the daugh-
ter's hand, the JOY has faded from her
eyes, the color from her lips. Another
Instant and the sheet is in the mothers
hands. The sudden fear that clutches
at her heart tells her the truth before
her eyes fasten upon the fatal worda-
the name of the lost man.
The clock ticks relentlessly In the
corner, the fire dies out and the rudy
embers turn gray; the light of the
little lamp sinks lower and lower, flick
ers and is gone. Still the two women
cling to each other in the darkness; the
silence is unbroken.
Only one man?
Only their whole world!-Chicat<u

WAVE PRINTS.

Where ocean-seeking rivers gently glide.
To Join the spreading harbor's restless
flow,
While flashing gems Of living sunlight
glow,
And ever onward laughing bubbles ride;
Behold far, far beneath the shifting tide,
Clear rtpple-mark the stainless sea sands
show,
A record fair, traced daintily below,
OF waves that toss and break and then
subside.
So when the f1tful waves Of fortune break
Upon the bosom of life's restless sea,
AS cloud drift melts to blue without
sign,
Deep written on the hearts pure scroll they
make
A record plain. whose lights and shades
decree,
Sells chilling fate, or loves warm glow
divine.

A Reckless WheeIman.

What might have been a very seri
GUS accident occurred on last Wed
nesday, the End, owing to the want of
common sense and ordinary courtesy
on the part of wheelman. A party
was returning from picnic at Buffalo
Gap, consisting of five children in a
Dayton driven by a gentleman. I'M.
mediately behind the Dayton was q
lady in buggy with small child and
just behind the buggy was carriage
filled with young people. AT the meet
ing of the Summerdean and another
road young man On wheel rode up
swiftly and noiselessly and when with
in very short distance of the vehicles
mentioned, he rang his alarm bell
violently. This had the effect OF
frightening the horse driven by the
lady. She managed, however, to check
the horse and there the trouble would
have ended, but the cyclist without
further waiting, rode swiftly by
the already frightened animal,
causing him to rear up and plunge
forward into the Dayton smashing it
up badly and coming within a hairs
breadth of seriously injuring or even
killing one of the children on the rear
seat. The buggy shaft and the har-
ness was completely wrecked all on
account of the carelessness and
thoughtlessness of a bicyclist, and
there is no redress. And what made
matters worse, was the action Of the
young man in Fastening away from
the scene without appearing to assist
In repairing the damage his careless
ness bad caused. Riders of wheels
would find il an easy matter toshow a
little consideration for their neighbOrs
by allghting from their wheels when
they come III contact with frightened
horses. While cyclists have rights
they should be made TO understand
that there are others who enjoy the
same privilege.
