 CUPID.

Mary Lewis was as pretty as pic ture when the Spanish war broke out. Is yet, for that matter. Half of the young fellows in town was shining up to her. but 1t seemed, to be an even thing between Bob Ludlow and Harry Stevens as to who should have her. with the chances in favor of Harry. We'll when the president called for volunteers. Bob was the first man to enlist from our, town, and Harry was the next. The day the soldiers went away Mary cried impartialy for both
 of them- Their regiment was sent to
 Cuba. and after that to the Philippines. Without giving you any war history, I'll 50 on to state that Harry was the first one to come back. Had his arm
 in sling. Naturally. everybody asked
 him: ~E2

 "Shot?s
 "where?''
 "Ih the back"
 He said that with a queer kind ot smile, and that's all we could get out of him.
 When Bob come home he was pale and worn looking, and some of us felt sorry for him. You know It speaks kind of bad for a soldier to be shot in the back. We gave Bob as little trouble about it as we could. I see now where it would have been better toshave given him more. Well, sir, the talk went around about him being shot in the back. until we got to looking on him as a coward. What beat us was that we couldn't find no traces of cOwardice in the Ludlow family as far back as any one could remember. But of course the talk had it's effect. Harry had the inside track at the Lewis house. Old man Lewis politely asked Bob to keep away. Bob couldn't un- derstand 1t, but the Ludlows always
 was proud, and he never asked no question.

A child three years of age died of drunkenness the other day in New York City. The parents said they had given the child whisky to strengthen him. In their absence he found a bottle ot whisky and drank from 1t, until he fell over in a drunken stupor, from which the physician could not arouse him. That is only one case in several cases of baby drunkards recently noted. The important fact is that alcoholic stimu- lants quickly develop the alcoholic habit in children. This fact is just as true when the alcohol is disguised as a medi- cine, a vsarsaparilla l" or other "com- pound" So many medicines contain alcohol, to the same extent that 1t is con- tained in beer or whisky, that parents should be cautious what medicines they give their children.

COULD NOT KILL THE BIRD,
After being Fourteen Days in an
IcebOX the AIbatross
Still Lived.

A writer says Sir William CORY
told him some time ago that on one
of his steamships coming from New
Zealand an albatross, supposed to have
been choked dead. kept in an ice box
at a temperature which was always
much below freezing point was found
to be alive at the end Of Il days. Capt.
Reed, in command of the vessel in
question, says Nature, supplemented
the story with the statement that
the bird was supposed to be killed by
being strangled with Irvine tied as
tightly as possible around the neck.
This twine was not removed. The
beak was closed and tied and the legs
crossed behind the tail and tied It
was then wrapped in an old meat
in the return box at the end of the
port snow trunk. 1t remained there
for certainly not less than ten DAYS.
On the snow boy complaining that the
bird 'grunted" when he went near it
the albatross was taken out, when it
was found that it could move it's neck
about and open its beak and the eyes
were open and lifelike. The lower
half of the body and the legs were
frozen hard. The fastening on the
beak had come off. 1t was alive for
two hours after being taken out and
was then strangled and put in the
snow box
