KIr9hiZ Music.

play the kaumuss, three-stringed in.
strument played with the fingers. The
music was mcnotonouss and of mel
ancholy cadence, but it harmonized
we'll with the moods they inspired.
In word, it was typicalIy Asiatic. I
sat and listened to it with pleasure,
giving my Imagination Captive to The
music, the soft moaning of the night
wind, the gentle cEachle of the fire.
How many and many night did I
not spend thus during the long years
that followed, listening to the dreamy
sounds of that primitive Kirghiz in
strument!
How many dark, solitary winter
afternoon did I not while away in this
foolish fashion! In course of time l
grew accustomed to the kaumuss, and
derived as much pleasure from it as
the Kirghiz did themselves. In fact,
I grew fond Of it. It's soothing music

Weekly, because of his conduct at San
Juan Hill, where, under heavy fire,
fifty feet in advance of his comrades,
be waved aloft two flags, the stars and
stripes of the Tenth and the Third
Cavalry.
This hero did not burst upon his
commanding officers as first dis
tinguished for gallantry in the war
with Spain. he had long before won
his laurels, having, during his thirty
years. service in the army, actively
participated in six separate campaigns,
against the Chcyennes, Kiowas, Ara
pahoes, Comanches, Apaches, Utes, in
Colorado, Kansas, Texas, and New
Mexico.
Sergeant Berry, who, after the mana
ner of real heroes, is modest of his
own achievements, in speaking Of his
action at San Juan Hill, where he sue
cessfully planted the colors of his own
regiment upon the works from which
the Sraniards were even then running
away, said:
'Where did my courage come from?
p came from our war chief, Captain
Ayres. When I saw him leading his
men, waving his lat in the air, shout

to follow, I took the two sets of colors
and ran, calling as I ran: Dress on
the colors, boysl Dress on the
colorsr".
During the recent peace celebration
in Philadelphia, as this sable hero,
bearing the tattered battle flags he had
carried so gallantly at Las Guasimas,
San Juan, and Santiago, marched in
the procession with the Tenth Cavalry,
he was pelted with roses from the bal
comics and stands crowded with peo-
pie.

A Masked Battery.

On one Of the suburban streets
girl of nineteen remained at home with
the smaller children while the parents
went to he.theatre. The locality was
somewhat lonely, but no one had ever
been disturbed, and then she had
more courage than the average woman.
Just after the clock struck ten she
heard an unusual and unaccountable
noise upstairs. All those Of the family
at home were with her, and she could
only account for the racket by the
presence Of burglar. She only
hoped that he would take what he
wanted and depart without molesting
them. But this hope was dashed by
loud report from theroom just over
head.
There was quiet for time. Per-
lapg the burglar had acc1dently shot
himself. She would have shrieked
for policeman, but che knew there
was none in earshot, and she would
not leave the children while she ran
for q neighbor. She grouped the lit
tie ones about her and waited. Then
came two sharp, quick reports and she
was planning an escape with her little
charges through the Back way, when
the parents arrived. Despite all the
children talking at once, the thrilling
news was soon understood. All I'M

practice last summer. Her first case
was in the Circuit Court against the
Michigan Central Railroad Company,
and she will have opportunity to ap-
pear in the Supreme Court, as she has
taken the case to that tribunal.
It was not Mrs. Abbott's personal
desire that led her into the arena of
politics. Ogemaw County is naturally
Republican by an overwhelming ma
jority. Mrs. Abbott was known to be
a free silverite, and finally, after the
persistent urging of the Democratic
Union Free-Silver County Committee,
she was induced to accept the nomi-
nation for the Office to which she has
been elected. Her campaign only
lasted three weeks, but she conducted
it personally, speaking in all the pub
lie places throughout the county, and
no amount of bad weather or wretched
roads could prevent her filling engage
ments. While her platform was that
of the party which nominated her, she
added to it some planks of her own,
one of which was conservatism on the
woman's suffrage question.
AS public speaker she was bright,
witty and forceful, controlling her
audience entirely by her natural elo-
quence and sympathetic voice.
When the first returns came in the
vote was a tie, but en unofficial re.

her q majority of four.
