Mrs. Talbot, and very interesting babe
of five months, of Washington. ID. c
were coming to spend January LIST with
Mrs Talbot, and Mr.. Talbot was to
meet them at the Pennsylvania Railroad
Station in Washington and accompany
them to Lutherville. He met them on
time and gallantly and fatherly carried
the baby to the train. A lady who saw
him marching up the platform says he
carried it Just like Cy Perkins in The
Old Homestead carried an armful of
wood" MIR. Talbot got to the train
all right, and he and his charge took the
only vacant seat. He there resigned the
baby to it's mother and settled down to
read the paper. The conductor then
came along and said, why Mr.. Talbot,
| never saw you with one of your grand
children before, its splendid baby, and
though it is so Young | can see strong
family likeness" The conductor was in
a hurry, SO lie could not stop to listen to
the explanation Mr.. Talbot was about
to give. Fred settled down again, when
an old lady just in front of him said:
"How old is your grandchild?" at the
same time placing a speaking trumpet to
her ear Fred replied necessarily in
loud voice, It's not my grundchild I'm
only travelling with it; but its Ave months
old" She replied, Il thought so; its
lovely child. and you ought to be proud of
it. How many grandchildren have your"

She replied, "Wrll. I've no doubt they are
great pleasure t. you. Ihave twelve-iust
two more thai you-and am devoted
tn them all" She then said, st don't
look like you, it must resemble your
Nviic's people Is it cDlicliy?" By this
tire every body around them was in
AT of laughter, and Mr.. Talbot had to
smoke, SO he went to the smoker and did
nut come back until the train pulled into
Union depot. There he had cungratula-
tons from the Station-master, the gate
men and all the porters with whom he is
a i;,voritc, on his youngest grandchild.

Lulherville was reached. On the wav to

to the mother Of the babe if she would

In MenOriam.

In loving remembrance of Howard E
Wallis, who died one year ago, Januar,
Sth, 1901.
oh, death, the subtle thief of time,
But one short year ago,
You stole loved one from our home
AND placed him far below.
Yes, placed him low, though mounted higl
In realms eternal, bright;
Yet, twas not strange for him to view
The wonders of the height.
For while on earth he gave himself,
His soul, his life, was bent
To so fulfil his mission
And his right account present.
Yet he was young, so young to die,
So young to fade away,
Just in the morning of his life
With brightest hopes for day.
Our home is changed, a vacant place,
Yet be it wrong to mourn
For him who left US ? tbs his gain,
In brighter realms he's borne.
We do not chide, Dear Lord, we know
You needed him above,
Yet sorrow we cannot subdue
For so great was our love.
And tho we've suffered each day since
Our suffering lifts US high;
God says, "Some day we'll understand
That he sleeps and did not die"
We pray Thee, make us reconciled,
We pray Thee we may meet
In Thy eternal resting place,
Around the Glory Seat.

~ all the colorcd school children of the

IL seems to us these facts show that
some action should be taken-action
which would prevent a surplus from &C
cumulating in a county because it re-
ceives each year forty-four cents for each
child and requires only fractional part
thereof to furnish him with elementary
text books. The State Board ofEducat-
ion or Il committee of School Commits
soners and Examiners could probably
suggest more equitable plan Of distri-
button which would bring relief to such
counties as are now burdened with sur
pluses and at the same time help those less
fortunate ones which are using all reason
able means for keeping within the appro-
priation and yet endeavoring to equip the
schools for good service.
