old daughter of Chas. Mcclure, had
one foot cut off and the other nearly
severed by a moving machine. The

Osler who was moving and had left
the team standing alone while his at

started, causing the little victim this
sad and painful accident. The
physician in attendance believes that
the one foot can be saved, although

TIE MAN IN The TOWER.

Beside the track there's a narrow tower
Where some one watches away,
Aud a thousand lives he guards each hour
Fur two or three dollars day;
the man who tolls and the millionaire.
And the lisping child he has In his care,
And the crowded trains rush to and fro
And the people come and the people go
With never a thought OF him watching
there!
Beside the track in his narrow tower
He guards when the skies are blue,
And he peers away through the binding
shower
Still keeping the signals true,
And the man who has more than his right
full share
And the man who has dreams Of JOY some
where,
And the man who laughs and the man
who sighs
And the maid with the lovelight in her
eyes
The Lord resigns to his tender care.
Beside the track in his narrow tower,
Unknown, unsung is he
Who holds in his hands greater power
Than an admiral of the sea!
And the man who is bent by a weight of
care
And the man who has sighted a goal some-
where.
And the men who rule in temples of
trade.
And the mother at home. and the blissful
maid,
Do they think of him when they kneel In
| prayer?

THE BELL HORSE.
An Animal That Plays the Part Of
Drum Major of the Mule Train
in BOerland.

The most energetic and peace-de-
stroying feature of army life in the
Transvaal Is the mule train, a2i the
most necessary member of this outfit is
the bell horse.
This animal leads the caravan and is
the drum major of the whole outfit.
He carries no burden save great re-
sponsibility and clear-sounding bell.
All mules destined to serve her majesty
are trained to follow the bell horse. A
white animal is nearly invariably Sc
lected, as for some reason or other
mules follow this color most faithfully.
Pack mules become very much at
tached to the bell horse of their train
and refuse to move either forward or
backward if he is not leading. For this
reason the greatest calamity that can
befall an army is the death of the bell
horse. On one occasion of the Indian
frontier wars the whole mule train
came to a sudden standstill owing to
the death of the bell horse. Nor would
anything induce the animals to move
till one of the officers substituted an
other white horse in the dead ones
place. On seeing, as they thought, their
old favorite in his place once more all
the mules moved forward to greet him,
and only by driving the fraudulent bell
horse forward quicker than the mules
could follow was tie deception kept up.

THE SWEETEST MUSIC.

You may talk about your singin' an won't
dispute a thing.
But give to me the music that my mother
used to sing!
The singin' that is paid for she never even
heard,
And her voice rang out as freely as the
singin of a bird.
When was tired an sleepy she'd wash me,
clean an sweet
An hug me tight. an tuck my gown around
my little feet,
An rock an rock. while with her voice the
old house used to ring.
Till sleep, like balm descended. as heard
my mother sing
around the throne
VIII come from Just such humble souls,
hard-worked an unknown.
They could sing a hymn in meetin' an sing
a child to sleep.
But all the extra music. In their hearts
they had to keep.
They sang the songs the old folks loved as
evening shades came down
Sweeter than all the operas they advertise
in town.
You may talk about your singin an I won't
dispute word,
But my mother sang the sweetest songs
my ears have ever heard,
An ] believe when all we long for freely
shall be given
I'll hear my mothers songs again. She's
singin' now, In Heaven.

TRAGIC END TO THEIR LOVE.
story of White Maid and an
Indian brave That Reads Like
Romance.

Ella Richards. white woman, died
the other day on the Ponca Indian
reservation, south of Wichita, Kan, of
smallpox. Hers is the first fatality re-
ported from this reservation, although
many are stricken. Miss Richards went
TO the Ponca reservation several weeks
ago to nurse her Indian lover, Jack
Flinthouse, who was stricken with
smallpox. Her friends at Millvane at
tempted to dissuade her from going,
when the news reached her that Flint
house was i'll, but she defied her parents
by escaping from home at night and
bravely, alone, went to the reservation,
a distance of 100 miles.
The officers around the Indians tepee
refused her admittance, but she waited
her chance and slipped by them. Loyal
to her redskin lover, she remained be-
side him day and night. Her father
came for her and tried to persuade her
to feave before her Indian lover died,
but threats and persuasions availed
nothing. Indian fashion, Flinthouse
cut his body to cure himself. She did
likewise. The wounds on her body
caused blood poisoning, and while he
began to recover she grew worse. After
her death Flinthouse committed sui
eide.

Among the stories told Of Charles
Lever, the witty novelist, is one which
concerns the days when he was British
consul at Trieste. He had accompanied
his daughter to London for a little So
cial enjoyment, and had neglected to
go through the formality of asking
for leave of absence. On his arrival
in London he was invited to dinner by
Lord Lytton, who was delighted to see
him. When he arrived at Lord Lyt-
tons house, his host said: I'm SO glad
you could come! You will meet your
chief, Clarendon"-the minister of for
eign affairs. The novelist, much en-
barrassed, began to give reasons why
he must tear himself away, but before
he could make his escape, Lord Claren-
don was announced, and almost at once
espied him. "Ah, Mr.. Lever" he said,
blandly, II didn't know you were in
England; in fact was not even aware
that you had asked for leave from
Trieste" "No-o, my lord" stammered
the novelist, disconnected for second,
but no more than that, mo, my lord |;

A glance shows him how matters
stand. Cltherton has become uncon-
scious, stunned by the fall or over
powered by the heavy weight of the
dead horse that is slowly crushing the
life out of him. Phutt! A bullet
strikes the saddle. and several more
hum alarmingly near, but the major
is calmness itself. With an effort that.
handicapped as he is, is positively
herculean, he contrives to shift the
dead animal sufficiently to allow of his
dragging Clitherton from beneath.
The guns on the hills growl and
mutter like giant beast angry at see
ing its prey escaping. The air seems
alive with flying bullets. but they
might as well be peas for all Penning-
dale appears to care. Lifting the lieu
tenant in his arms he sets him with
some difficulty astride the saddle,
mounts himself, and with one hand
supporting his insensible burden and
the other on the reins, speeds back
through the death-dealing shower.
Clitherton opens his eyes before
long and stares confusedly at the grim
set face SO close to his, but it is not
until they are out of range Of the Boer
fire that the major pulls up and assists

A food of recollection breaks in
upon the latter's half-dazed mind.
"Major, you're hero" he says, with
grateful enthusiasm; you've saved
my life"
The other responds by question.
"Are you wounded at all ?" he asks.
"No, sir. don't think so; but that's
thanks to you. The beggars were pot

Cling to get free. l fancy I've got a
rib or two broken, that's all. And you,
sir-my God! were you hit?" For the
major had sunk suddenly to the
ground. his face ashen colored and a
bloody foam about his lips.
"Yes." he says, weakly, as either
ton. kneeling, bends anxiously over
him. "Yes, they had me as I was
dragging you out Stay"-as the other
signals urgently to some of the troop
ers who are riding back-"don't call
any aid. I'm past it. Bend closer
so. Tell-tell Doris I have given her
her release"
He smiles family, half turns, as a
gush of blood from the lungs fills his
mouth and sinks back into his com.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CANAL.
Eight Miles Long-Built at q Cost
of . S1,OOO,OeO q Mile.

Many of those who have been read
ing much about the sanitary canal of
late without, perhaps, appreciating
the magnitude of The big channel or
understanding the character and pur-
poses of the controlling works at
Lockport, says the Chicago Journal,
for the benefit of such, the following
brief descriptions are compiled:
The Canal--The length of the sani-
tary canal from where it taps the
south branch of The Chicago river to
the controlling works at Lockport is
2S.05 miles. From the mouth of the
river to the head of the canal is six
and one-third miles, which makes the
total distance water from the lake
must flow to reach the controlling
works 34.4 miles. For IA miles from
it's head the canal was cut through
earth. The remaining IA miles were
cut through solid rock. The channel
is 200 feet wide through the earth Sec
ton and 100 feet wide through the
stone section. The average cost per
mile was $1,000,Oo0. The land imme-
diatcly abutting the canal, to the total
of 1900 acres. is owned by the s1ni-
tary district. Between the head of the
canal and the works at Lockport the
water, has depth of from 22 to "a
feet. Water enters the canal at two
points, the main passage being at
Twenty-eighth and Robey streets,
The other cut is at Kedzie avenue and
Thirty-third street, where the col.
lateral channel joins the canal.

DYING wIFE's WISH oBEYED.
John II. Cook, of Baltimore, Mar
ries Again n Week After the
Funeral.

Just one week ago John II. Cook bur-
led his wife and on that evening all the
emblems of mourning were removed
from his beautiful home in Park
Heights avenue, Baltimore, the par
lor was elaborately decorated and Mr..
Cook was again married, his bride be-
ing Miss Runey Becker.
The marriage was in accordance with
the dying request of the late Mrs. Cook,
who wished her home maintained and
begged both her husband and Miss
Becker to be married as soon as possi-
BILE after her death. Mrs. Cook had been
i'll for several years and had through
out been devotedly nursed by her hus-
band.
The new Mrs. Cook is a handsome
and highly accomplished young wom-
an. Last November she returned from
Europe and became the guest OF Mr..
and Mrs. Cook. Since then a warm at
tachment has sprung up between the
Cooks and their guest, which resulted
in the marriage.

Mr.. Jobson got barrel stave out of the
woodshed and belabored the unfeeling
bull terrier, and Mr.. Jobson's neigh
Dor, who had leaped the fence upon
hearing the conflict, sedulously applied
club to the fox terrier. From that
Mr.. Jobson and his neighbor got to ap-
plying their respective clubs to each
other.
Take that devilish hydrophobia-
vicious brute out O. here!" shouted Mr..
Jobson. "If you don't remove that
mad dog from my premises in just ex-
actly l2 seconds I'll land you in state
prison for knowingly, maliciously and
viciously harboring dog that has got
rabies in its worst form!"
With the aid of a two-inch stream
of water from IA hose and couple of
crowbars the two dogs were pried
loose. The next evening both of them
were ornamented with brand-new
muZZles.
you've changed your mind about
muzzles, see," said Mrs. Jobson, when
Mr.. Jobson unwrapped the bundle con-
tanning the muzzle.
Changed nothing" replied Mr.. job
son, haughtily. II don't want my dog
to kill that idiots dog next door and
to get me sued for damages, that's all"

trap on his head, either! If there's
any one thing that 'ud be calculated
to drive that dog of mine mad il would
be 10 put a muzzle on him; he's high
strung. like all registered thorough
bred dogs, and he'd be dancing around
like whirling dervish in no time at
all
"I'm with you'll" said Mr.. Jobson's
neighbor. Don't believe in the busi-
ness at all. My bull terriers as harm
less as a kitten, and I'd as lief put a
muzzle on myself as to decorate that
dog with one of the contrivances. I'm
going to let him run about, too, and"
And if any dog catcher or police
man has the gall to try to work your
dog into the pound because the dogs
unmuzzled you'll carry the matter to
the supreme court of the United States
to get justice! That's what I'll do, and
that's what you'll do! Wen just call
that bargain, if you're agreeable"
After some further talk along similar
lines, Mr.. Jobson's neighbor took his
leave. Mr.. Jobson, filled with a new
affection for an animal upon which a
heartless government desired to per-
petrate unheard-of infamies, went out
into his back yard to have romp with
his fox terrier. It so happened that
Mr.. Jobson's neighbor was in the back
yard of his home at the same time, put
ting some fresh straw in the kennel
of his bull terrier. The bull terrier
was turned loose during the remak-
ing of his bed, and he heard the gyrat-
ings and the cavortings of the fox ter
rier in Mr.. Jobson's yard. He was over
the fence within eight seconds after
having been turned loose, and then Mr..
Jobson's fox terrier found himself in
real, poignant trouble. The bull terrier
proceeded to make sad hash of his
neighbor, the, fox terrier. The yelpings
of the latter could be heard three blocks.
