THE CRIMINAL CUCKOO.

The Spectator: Bad temper and cruel
are perhaps the most obvious signs
of mental degeneration in the beasts.
The larger monkeys, for instance, be-
come as bad-tempered as a violent man
when they grow old, and many in their
treatment of other animals are cruel, as
we use the word in regard to mar. Among
the c~arnivorous beasts the cat amuses
itself by torturing a mouse, and the
weasel tribe kid for sheer love of killing.
No such cruelty is seen among eagles or
falcons. Fierce as their tempers are,

"THE EVIL EYE"

The concluding performance OF Charles
Evil Eye will be given tonight at the
Grand and should again crowd the house.
The play has something of a plot, a fine
spectacular effort, many laughable and en-
tertaining specialties and some curious pro-
auctions of stage mechanism. The artists
are high-class performers.

have admired. SO perfect were the
buds and roses. Then jack started
out to black boots and attend to one
or two furnaces, while Polly washed
dishes and tidied rooms for three diff
ferent families, receiving five cents
from each. At noon they were ready
to start, the roses carefully wrapped
within the ,headstone, lest the sun
wilt them, the.fags carried by Polly.
It was long, long walk to Ever
green's; but the children's rent was
due in two days, and they dared not
spend money on carfare. On they
trudged, sthe thought of the honor to
be done to Grandpa keeping Polly's
tired feet going. But before they had
accomplished quarter of the distance
Jack caught sight of great express
cart coming up the hill. "Hold on,
there's fellow I know. He'll take
us in-ne's first-class! Mr.. B."
he called, "can you give us lift?"
Certainly" and the good.natured
expressman drew up for the children.

Hiram snyder.

The author OF "Little Journeys to
the Homes of American Statesmen
tells q story of the Civil War, when
the days dragged gloomily, in antici-
patton of news from the front, and
when grief was likely to overtake any
who had boys in the ranks. He says
One night the postmaster was read
ing aloud the names of the killed at
Gettysburg, and he ran right on to
the name of a youth we knew. The
boys father sat there on nail-keg,
chewing straw. The postmaster, for
his sake, tried to shuttle over the
name, and hurry on to the next.
"Hi" said the father. ''Wha--
what's that you said?"
There was nothing to do but to face
the issue, and the postmaster repeated
with forced calmness.
"Killed-Snyder, Hiram"
The boys father stood up with a
jerk. Then he sat down. Then he
stood up again, staggered to the door,
and fumbled for the latch like blind
man.
"God help him!" said the postmas-
ter, wiping his eyes with his red hand
kerchief; ''he's gone to tell the old
woman"
The minister preached q funeral
sermon for the boy, and on the little
pyramid that marked the family lot,
in the burying- ground, they carved
the inscription:
"Killed in honorable battle, Hiram
Snyder, aged nineteen"
Not long afterward, strange yellow,
bearded men, in faded blue, began to
arrive. Great welcomes were given
them, and many big gathering was
held in their honor. AT one such
gathering, a ghost appeared. lank,
saffron ghost, ragged as a scarecrow,
wearing the cape of cavalryman' 8
overcoat, with no coat beneath.
The apparition was youth of about
twenty, with downy beard all over
his face, and countenance well-mel-
lowed with coal SCOT, as if he had rid.
den several days on the top of a
freight car near the engine. The
ghost was Hiram Snyder.
We foreave him the shock of sur
prise he had caused US, all except the
minister, who had preached his
funeral sermon. Years afterward I
heard that minister remark, in sol.
emn and aggrieved tone:
"Hiram Snyder is man who can,
not be relied upon"

"Oh, Jack! it's just lovely! And
oh-oh-I've got something!" and
Polly, her bright face growing sweetly
solemn. stepped to the old bureau and
opened her most precious possession
-an old box which held her peculiar
treasures.
"Here's four of Mothers hairpins, "
she said, solemnly. ''I've saved 'em,
but they'll be just the thing to fasten
down the headstone-better than bits
of wood"
The. children could hardly sleep
from excitement. Bright and early
they were about, stopping q moment
to gaze rapturously on "the head
stone," and to water the preciou.

"Do you remember when he died"'
Jack asked, glad to rest a while, but
delighted with bis progress.
"Why I wasn't borr, Jack! But
can't we say his loving grandchildren
have-have-fixed this to his mem
ory?"
"Why, Polly" said Jack, admir-
ingly.
"That's real tomb-stony! That's
good enough for the monnyment.
Let's see;" and Jack sat with pencil
poised, then, slowly and laboriously
printed-Polly's bright eyes watching
eagerly:

"Going to Evergreens? Why, I'm
taking basket OF plants there-I'll
take you right along"
And so, much earlier than they ex-
pected, Jack and Polly had decorated"
the old soldiers grave. The brown
paper was carefully pinned down with
the long wire hairpins, Polly kissing
each one before she used it. The
flags were placed at the foot, the
roses at the head, and the children
stood, we'll satisfied with the results.
Now, let's go and see some of the
other dec'rations," said Jack, "and
then we'll come back again" So
they wandered from place to place.
It was the poorest part of BIS
poorest cemetery, yet there were some
handsome gravestones, and many
carefully kept plots. The children
much enjoyed seeing the flowers, but
agreed that "our grave" was the best
of all.

we live, till mother died, on his pen
sion? I think whole bushel of buds
wouldn't be too much!"
Jack was glad Polly did not know
about the ten. cent flag he could have
got; he had thought five cents enough
to spare out of their scanty earnings,
when making the purchase; but after
that speech he felt small. What if he
were but bootblack, earning most
precarious living, and Polly making
only an odd dime now and then by
scrubbing floor or tending children
for the neighbors? Jack wished he
had done more for his soldier-grand-
father! But thought struck him.
ooh, Polly! I'll tell you what I'll

"For tomorrow"
"Yes! You know it'll be years be-
fore we get a monnyment for Grandpa,
for we must get an eddication first;
and tho the fiag'ull show It's SOL
aier's grave, I think folks ought to
know more. Well, I've learned to
print real clear, and I'll print a real
nice headstone, and we'll fix it down
on the grave, and folks'll see it for
that day, any way"
'That's splendid, you do it and I'll
get supper"
Jack rushed out for stiff brown paper
and ink, and the kind shopkeeper,
who knew the children, learning what
be intended to do, gave him two large
sheets of manila paper and showed
him how to use ''grease crayon, "
thereby saving the boy from innum-
cradle spatters of ink. Jack pur-
chased the ten-cent flag on the spot
and returned with his prize.
Planning to write headstone was
one thing-quite another to do it.

decorated. Pollyw
Jack could say no more, and Polly,
catching sight of the wreath of flowers
and sm:lax frame at the same moment,
the children knelt, speechless with
amazement.
''Do you think it was angels?''
asked Polly, in an awe-struck voice.
''No," said Jack, sturdily; cit was
tcis headstone that did it, Polly
Somebody read that?"
That was the proudest moment OF
Jacks life. Polly nodded her head,
acquiescently, still too awe-struck for
words.
"And by next year we must have a
real one!'

"We'll do it ALL" said the boy, with

Father of Memorial Day.

When the few gray-haired veterans
of the great war for the Union meet
together in annual observance OF
Memorial Day few bear in mind that
the day itself as a part of the national
life is the result of the inspiration of the
greatest of all the volunteer soldiers
who fought for the flag, General John
Alexander Logan, of Illinois. Few,
indeed, of those not associated with
the organization of old soldiers re.
member this. But such is the fact.

The next day seemed dull and prosy
to Polly, as days do to all of us after,
unwonted excitement. The little gir
had just settled down to study her
lessons for the night school Jack and
she attended, when there came a
knock at the door. Polly opened it
and was confronted by two ladies', one
tall and slim, the other 'fat and COM

would wish. You remember he often
said: we officers get the glory, but
the privates did the work."
'That's splendid plan; we'll start
at once"
1t was long drive, through miser-
able streets; but May and her aunt
were used to such neighborhoods in
their visits of charity. AS soon as
they entered Evergreens each watched
for some soldiers grave.
"Oh, Aunty, there's one. I see a
flag! Two of them! John, John!
Stop! What queer thing! What is
it?" aud Mary knelt by the children's
''headstone." "Aunty, Aunty" the

girl, her eyes overAowing. "Oh, if L
could only find Polly and John Kerr!"
Aunt Mary came with lilies and
heliotrope, hyacinths and geraniums
Mary would not have one other rose
beside the lovely ones the children
had laid there. Smilax was carefully
wreathed about "the headstone," and
then May rose, only half satisfied.
