HE was such a wien faced slip of
a child that the soldiers, recognizing
the truth of his SurmiSe, dubbed him
'Too-Little-to-Be-Hit' Blunt-his real
lame being Jimmy Blunt. He knocked
about camp and finally attached him
self to Major English of the Second
Dublin fuSileerS. He became the ma
jor's shadow-eating. sleeping and
moving about with him on any and all
occasions. 1t became a joke among
the soldiers the way 'Too-Little-to-Be-
Hit followed their major.
Finally came the action of Venter's
spruit. when the major, leaving his
company. walked n short distance
ahead to see how the land lay He
was shot down. and a deadly fire from
the Beers who had been in ambush fol-
lowed. The firing was so hot that no
attempt was made by the soldiers to go

Notwithstanding making the at
tempt he was ordered back. He did not
obey the command, that much the sol
diers knew. but he was forgotten until
the close of the engagement, when, on
collecting their wounded and dead,
they found he had managed in some
way to drag his ounde friend from
the open to the cover of some brush
wood. 'Too-Little-to-Be-Hit' was lying
by the majors side apparently asleep.
but when the soldiers lifted him up
they found that he was dead. He had
bled TO death from n wound in the
fieshy part of the arm. So. after all, he
was not too little to be hit"

He Liked sloan of Arc"

An amusing little story is told in
Civics by a worker on the east side.
She had taken a party of children to
the art museum. and a few days later
a boy said shyly:
Il told mother ABOUT the picture we
saw in the museum. and she said she
wished she could see it, too"
The teacher asked what picture he
meant. WAS it Columbus Before Isa-
BELLA or Washington Crossing the
Delaware?'"
The boy answered promptly: "Oh, no..
ma'am. The girl in an old dress
standin under a tree listenin. The one
that went to war and saved her
country. | forgot he name of her. Oh,
yes; | remember now. 1t vas 'Noah's

JIMMY BLUNT, HERO.
Though "Too Little to BE Hit" He
Gave His Life For His Friend.

One of the most touching incidents
of the Boer-EngliSh var came to my
knowledge just as | was leaving for
America" said u missionary delegate
from South Africa to the ecumenical
conference. "Of course there have
been many brave deeds n many acts
of self sacrifice on both sides, but none

his life protecting the man who had

He was of English parentage and said
that his father had been killed ut the
very beginning of the hostilities, his
mother had been buried the week be-
fore, and he had left Ladysmith deter
mined to join the English army. How
he had managed to slip through the
Boer lines was the question which
most puzzled the English soldiers, for
at that time it was not thought posi-

strict was their watch. The child said
he thought he had been shot at, but he

The Way OF The World.

We listened to a country superin-
tendent of schools not long since al
he lamented in a long address tho
fact that the nice girls would nod
remain as teachers, but would get
married and so, from his standpoint,
disarrange the work OF the school.
The superintendent was a sort of
old fogy as we look at it. Who
f,--ants our nice, pretty girls to keep
on teaching till crows feet, gray
hairs and false teeth bear mute evil
dence that the bloom of their youth
has departed and not even the
crooked matrimonial stick is to be
picked up by them?sThere is no sweet
err little comedy enacted on earth
than John blowing the long rows of
corn and seeing the dimpled and
pretty schoolma am trudging along
to school in the summer morning,
and he thinking about her all day
hong and watching for her to return
at the evening time, he managing
to be at the highway end Of the field
as she passes by-he dusty, dirty and
bashful, she all smiles and sweetness.
Then comes buggy ride aud a good
deal of swinging in the hammock
under the old trees, while the noon
light filters down through the
rustling leaves like a silver food
and John soon is clean gone, and
Susie notifies the directors that sh
