A Daughters Warning Cry.

Students of the occult sciences will
find an interesting occurrence in incl
dents which happened in the house.
hold of George Jennings, on Temple
street, Mount Washington, last Sat-
urday night just as James Snee lost
his life on the railroad crossing at
Washington street
The l5-year-old daughter of Nj.
Jennings has been seriously i'll fJ
some time, requiring constant care
from her parents and the attending
physician. Saturday evening, short.
ly after 10 o'clock, while the young
girl was resting in her room, under
the care OF heI mother, she appeare

Suddenly she seemed to be aroused

She repeated the warning cries in

alarmed by her speech and actions
and anxiovsly awaited the coming of
the physician.
Mr.. Jennings was away at the

Understand, he SAID al last IN MS
sluggish way, I'm poor man, and
I'm in debt. I tried farmin and it
didn't pay, and blacksmithin' isn't
great deal better. You'll have to wait
a long time for your money.
"Do you imagine am forcing my
services on you?" cried the surgeon
sharply. "There'll be nothing to pay.
The blacksmith's lean face clouded.
"Nothin' to pay y he repeated.
What are you doin this for ?"
For science-and my own pleas
ure, said the great surgeon sharply.
We'll growled the blacksmith,
after little pause "there is one thing
you must understand. Martha's all
I've got in the world There's goin
to be no experimental"
"And there's one thing you must
understand, said the surgeon quick
ly. There will be no more of this
locking an innocent child in dull old
house like crippled mouse in a
trap"
And then the blacksmith, whose
heart beneath his rough coating was
big and warm, put out his great hand
and gave the fingers of the surgeon an
eloquent pressure.
That, evening the surgeon said to
the rich man, 81 have an important
surgical case in the city on Wednes-
nesday and will be gone two days.
1t was a pleasant afternoon just
three months later, and the black
smith stood on the platform of the
railway station. He was cleanly
shaved and attired in his best, and
there was a bright and hopeful look
in his face. Back Of the platform
stood the rich mans carriage and
handsome horses, for the great surgeon
had gone up to the city the day be-
fore and was expected back on the
coming train. Presently it rumbled
up to the little platform, and a mo-
ment later the surgeon emerged from
the single passenger car. On his arm
leaned slender little girl, neatly
dressed little girl, who carried cane
and walked a trile stiilly perhaps,
but whose bright face was radiant
with happiness.
Daddy /" she cried, as the black
smith pressed forward and she threw
herself in his arms. Look, look =
she added, and pointed at her feet.
And the blacksmith, looking down
with the moistened eyes, saw that they
were straight and trim and neatly
shod.
"He did it, said the child, as she
touched the surgeon sleeve reverent-
ly. Thank him daddy thank him =
But the great surgeon drew away.
Pooh, pooh, blacksmith he quick
ly said, "a man doesn't want thanks
for such a common act of humanity
as letting a crippled mouse out of a
trap"

In the Country.

Ii seems 10 me I'd like to 60
Where bells don't ring. nor whistles blow.
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs sound,
And I'd have stiffness all around.
Not real stiffness, but just the trees
Low whispering. or the hum Of bees.
Or brooks faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe 4 cricket or katydd,
Or the songs of birds in the hedges hid.
Or just some such sweet sounds as these
To fll tired heart with ease.
II 'wern't for sight and sound and smell,
I'd like the city pretty well,
But when it comes to getting rest.

And get out where the sky is blue:
