 To welcome you its queen; and, dear, I

 be set free; There is no freedom from the vows they
 take
 Till one shall pass into eternity. Yes, dear, 1t is solemn step they take, That starts to walk together through the
 years God holds for both; and yet it need not

 In your young heart anxieties or fears. For both of you have chosen for your

THE DRUMMER RoY's ALARM.
Sleeping Army Brought to Arms by His Accidental Firing of
 Soldiers Gun.

 An army lay sleeping on the tumbled land around Chattanooga. The moon was full, but fell through feecy- white vapor and lighted the camps but vaguely with diffused radiance.
 The. white tents gleamed out of the obscure shadows of valleys, and dark masses of horses and rows of com missariat wagons showed as anoma- lous humps and spfotches of darked shadows on the banks of the deep, silent river which had the mystery of death.
 The picket line extended in wide irregular semicircle over the hills for miles. Behind the pickets lay the skirmishers entrenched, rolled in their blankets, their muskets beside them.
 In one of the tents we'll to the van of the army drummer-boy lay wide awake-a young, slender, imaginative lad, who had been in camp but a few days and*who hungered to be a soldier, not a drum-beater. He longed to han dle guns. To play rat-tat was chilu- ish.
 He tossed restlessly about for a long time, and at last, mastered by his de- sire, arose and looked out on the camp. No one was stirring, and the stacked

ENTITLED TO A PENSION.
Am old Printing Press That Hai Served Full Time i'm the
 Union Army.

Thirty-seven years ago the Six teenth United States infantry, having certain rather important business to transact in the town of Jackson, Miss, performed the work with much thoroughness and dispatch and then, as a sort of memento of the occasion, took, seized or otherwise acquired a printing press that for some nys- terious reason had struck the regi- mental fancy as a good thing to have. The ownership thus established, though perhaps slightly. irregular, in a few respects, had never been con tested in court or out of it, and the press is still in the possession of the Sixteenth United States infantry. So, by truly strange sequence of events, we are now in receipt of two copies of small but we1l-appearing news paper from Aparri, town in north ern Luzon, Philippine islands, and these newspapers, as one of them in forms us, were printed on the very press which the Sixteenth infantry took unto itself so many years ago while transacting important business in Jackson, says the New York Times.
 The old press is evidently in good working order, for every letter of the Aparri News addresses the eye with whatever are the typographical equiv alents for courage and self-respect. The general aspect of the paper is in every way superior to that presented by the common run of colon al jour- nalism and, though the columns are few and short, they are filled with real news, most of it distinctly local and therefore interesting, or with intelligent and not too serious com ment on the same.

was heard on all sides. The hoarse, far-shouting of men to horses ran back to the river where the wagon trains lay encamped.
 And still the bugles called and the ,drummers played on. With roll after roll of snarling drums, with bugles echoiHg bugles, mile after mile of ranked and ready men, the army arose. Their rise was like the waking of na- tions on resurrection morn. It was majestic. It was terrible.
 The boy lying there shuddered with horror and grew rigid with awe. It seemed that the end of the world had come suddenly, without warning. Oh! it was so grand and terrible!
 Then the firing on the picket line began to die away. The skirmish line also woke to it's folly.
 One by one the near drums ceased their uproar. One by one the near bugles fell silent and the distant calls seemed but sweet echoes, sleepy and jocular.
 Then the army listened. It held it's breath there in the glorious moon light and listened.
 Nothing was heard of war. The cool wind came from the dark noun tains across the river gentle and ad- monitive.
 Horses moved restlessly and hoarse words passed along the line. Com mands and angry inquiry mingled. Nothing was heard from the opposing legions. All was peaceful, hushed, solemn.
 Near his head in the grass the boy heard the first chirp of cricket re- suming his interrupted song.
 A horseman galloping wildly along scattereda new command, mixed with half jocular oaths. He passed like a small whirlwind in summer plains, leaving the landscape stiller than be- fore.
 Then the bugles sounded new note-a softer note, drowsy note,

arms proved irresistible. He dressed and went out cautiously and stood erect in the shadow of a small oak, near the first stand of muskets.
 Gaining courage, he cautiously took a gun from it's fellows and sat down to look at it by the moonlight.
 It seemed as if he were man al- ready as he handled the gun. He would have marched up and down with it. only he was a little afraid some one might see him there and order him to bed.
 It was marvelously still and beauti- full and solemn, as if the army had been reabsorbed into mother earth again. The boy dinly felt this solem- nifty, and with the gun across his lap he sat and listened with beating heart.
 If only they would let him march in the ranks tomorrow!
 Suddenly the cooked hammer of his gun fell and the flash and it's report stunned him for moment. It seemed as loud as a cannon shot, and rolled away in the still air like the crack of doom.
 For three beats of his heart the lad II the hills and stabbing the perfect stiffness of the night like assassins
 Then a scared picket fired an an swering shot. Another excitable an- swered it; then third, farther away. With a flash of defensive inspiration, the boy replaced the gun and scur- ried into his tent and lay listening, like fugitive rabbit. A wild, hoarse, throaty voice arose, a captains voice.
 Company K. Fall in! Fall in, fall in, there!'
 A drummer half asleep seized his drum and began the long roll, that terrible snarl whose jar brings the sleeping soldier to his feet as if by lightning stroke.
 Dim forms arose like phantoms. Of ficers beat and called and swore and raced to and fro between the tents.
 The whole picket line seemed to be firing. They were like line of bricks, one shot brought forth another The skirmishers took it up like watch dogs on winter farms and passed the alarm along in drowsy thoughtless- ness.
 Drum after drum took up the wild call. The still, beautiful night palpi- tated with the accelerating crescendo warning roar.
 Regimental bugles added their wild, sweet reveille and their voices ran over the hills fainter, faintly, far in the valley.
 FALL IN."
 Fall in."
 Fall in.''
 Commands and queries ran along the regimental camps down the val ley and over the hills. Before each group of tents squads of soldiers formed in line with marvellous celer- ity.

N IHE QarKneSS was creeping over the
 forest as the duchess finished her gaIIop, and now she had checked her tired hosse and was riding slowly, meditating the while. The horse drew up before the old hunting chalet and began to crop some grass to it's liking. The duchess made no effort to restrain him.
 ''I wish-I actually wish that I might find love-" she told herself in a whis- per. "What is the use of having all that have if there is no one to share it with me? I have had suitors in plenty, but no love. No one that I might love-"
 Suddenly there came burst of mel ody from the hunting chalet. Some one was singing; it was mans voice, a rich baritone. It sang of love and of happiness.
 "Count Otto of Mehrenburg!" she cried. q know it. He had nothing good but his voice when he went away" Then her own sweet voice joined in the song. Then the man in the chalet came out.
 CT thought I heard a woman's voice, '' he said, wondering. He was medium sized man, with fair face and brown, clustering hair. The archduchess did not recollect the face as well as the voice. Her memory was only for things that were beautiful.
 "Are you Otto of Mehrenburg?" she asked. He turned and saw her.
 ''My little archduchess," he said, softly.
 "We1come back to Barthuria, Count Otto,'' she said, sweetly. "And accept a compliment from me. You have changed so much for the better that I would not have known you had it not been for your voice. That wonder full voice of yours"
 'sIt is all that have except my title, '' he said. "And will soon be my sole means of subsistence" A flash of lightning lit up the grove, making his sad face pathetic.
 'sWhat do you mean Otto?" she said, and the thunder accompanied her speech.
 "Come into the cha1et,'' he said. ''It has begun to rain. It cannot last for any time. I will tell you then if you care to hear."

Mr.. Corbit arose about $50 O'Clock
yesterday morning and on going down
stairs was surprised to find his daughter
sitting in about the same position as SHE
was when lie retired, and with her face
literally covered with flies. All his at
tempts to arouse her failed. Mr.. Corhit
then became frightened and left the
house to notify the police. During his
absence the news that something was
wrong at the Cloud home spread and in
few minutes crowd congregated at
the house. Several neighbors entered
the house and also made attempts to
arouse the dead woman.
.COrhit went to the police station and
told Captain Black about finding his
daughter in the chair and that he feared
she was dead. Captain Black returned
to the Conrad street house with Corbit
