MISSING FOR SEVEN MONTHS.

Little Hubert Brennan, of South
Main street, is still missing from home
and his parents are nearly distracted
over the uncertainty as to his where
abouts. 1t Is now seven months since
he left the city and no trace of him
has been had. They have by no means
given up the search, but are using
every effort that their modest means
will allow to find their boy. They ask
that the neighborhood papers copy this
notice and assist them in their anxiety.
Any information will be most thank
fully received by Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Brennan, South Main street.

BROKE UP LOVE MATCH.
TeII-TsIe Spots on Young WOn-
an's Ears Indicated the
LeprOus faint.

A young man of Bryn Mawr went to
the South seas for his health a few
years ago and returned recently much
benefited, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. He tells sad story about the
daughter of native king whom he met
on one of the smaller and more remote
of the Hawaiian islands. She was a
beautiful girl and it was his greatest
pleasure to be with her, fishing and
bathing, and to sit beside her in the
council-house listening to the songs
of the kings poets. It is not unusual
for a white man to marry a Hawaiian,
and the youth from Bryn Mawr. without
prospects, almost penniless and with
health that was always wretcheG in the
uncertain climate of his home, thought
sometimes that it would be wise and
pleasant to marry the Hawaiian prin-
cess. and to live in her quiet and beau
tiful island for the rest of his days.
Butsuddenly the princess became sad,
heart-broken. She went out no more.
She sat alone and wept Gay and night.
The young man could find out from no
one what troubled her, for all whom he
questioned pretended not to know One
day he met the princess by chance on
the beach alone and asked her what
had filed her life with sorrow. She
pointed, with strange gesture, to a
tiny brown spot, like a mole. on the
lobe of each of her ears and she ran her
finger over her brows, which, he now
saw, were thinning. Then she fed from
the mystifed youth and he never saw
her again. A year later on another IS
land he heard physician say that the
absence of eyebrows, together with the
brown spots on the lobes of the ears.
indicated the beginning of leprosy.

The favorite war horse of the hero
OF Gettysburg was raised in the west
Baldy, who was bay with white face
and feet, saw his first service at the
battle of Bull Run, where he received
two wounds, one being through the
nose. He was ridden in this engage
ment of July, 1861, by David Hunter,
colonel of the Third United States cav
airy, commanding the Second divi-
sion, who was himself seriously wound
ed. It is believed that at this time,
writes Gen. James Grant Wilson, in
Ledger Monthly, Baldy was govern
ment property, for in the following
September he was purchased by Gen.
Meade from the quartermaSter's de-
partment for $3.50, the horse having en-
tire1y recovered from his injuries. He
was shot in the right hind leg at the
second battle of Bull Run, though not
badly hurt, and was wounded through
the neck at Antietam, but this also
proved to be slight, and Badly soon re-
covered. He received his last and most
serious wound on the afternoon of July
2, 1868, in the battle of Gettysburg.
Gen. Meade had just ridden to the
front of the left center of his long
battle line, as the reenforcements We're
being hurried forward to the support
of that part of the army, when bull
let passed through the right trouser
leg Of Gen. Meade, as well as the flaps
of his saddle, and then into Baldy's
body between the ribs, where it re-
manned. When shot, the horse came
to a standstill and staggered little,
but soon recovered. He could not, how
ever, be induced, to go forward, and
endeavored to turn away to the rear;
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1900-09-20

no amount of coaxing or urging on
the part of the great commander could
persuade him to move on. Gen. Meade,
dismounting, remarked:
''Baldy is finished this time, for this
is the first occasion that he ever re-
fused to go under fire"
And he was then led to the rear, the
general being promptly supplied with
another horse. In the hope that Badly
would recover, his master kept him
until the following spring, though he
was never able to use him. Just be-

Philadelphia, and soon after placed in
charge of Capt. Samuel Ringwalt, of
bennington, Pa, who had served with
Meade in the early days of the war, who
knew all about Badly, and who, the
general was certain, would take good

captain until after the close of the
war, when Gen. Meade returned to
Philadelphia to find his favorite horse
fully recovered and in as good condition
as ever, constantly using him for sew

old age, he became unsafe as a sad+
