General Grants Nanesake.

A number Of years ago a son was
born to a colored woman in the south,
and as be was her first she looked up
on him with pride and was much at
loss to find name for him. Relatives
and friends, including her mistress,
were appealed to; but, although many
names were suggested, all were dis.
carded.
After many days of deliberation she
said one morning to her mistress: ::
"Miss Mary, Ize found a name for
my boy. I'm going to name him De-
licious."
why" said the lady, where did
you get that name?"
"Oh," she cried, I'm going to call
him that cause l want to name him
for Mr.. Grant"
When it was explained to her that
the great hero was named Ulysses and
not Delicious, she was somewhat dis
turbed in mind, bat Ulysses did not
please her, so the boy had to begin
life burdened with the name Egbert
Eugene.

Curious Career Of Frank Lashway.
When Frank Lashway was laid to

When Frank Lashwsy was laid to
rest few days ago in little ceme-
terry near Montague, n. j., says the
Chicago Tribune, the end came to
remarkably curious life. He was
buried in petticoats, and the strangest
part of this fact is that he had worn
them for 40 years. The day he was
I9 years old he donned womans at
tire, at the request of his mother,
who feared he would be drafted TO
serve in the army, and from that
time until a short time before he
died he posed as woman. While
acting as a school-teacher in large
district in Lewis county, known as
Haymarket, Lashway met many young
women and fell in love with one, the
daughter of farmer, who caused him
to deplore the fate that had dressed
him in the garb worn by the object
of his affections. They became close
friends, he was later subjected TO the
humiliation of hearing her confession
of love for young farmer in the
neighborhood. Lashway shut him.
self in the house for year. AT the
end of this time he emerged with
fine beard. Heavily veiled, he went
to New York and secured an engage
ment, being billed as Madeline de
Roux, the bearded woman. He posed
under the side show tent during the
next ten years. Then he tired and
returned to his home in Montague.
It was then that his secret leaked out,
and his neighbors learned that
frankie" Lashway was man. BY
this time, however, he had become go
habituated to wearing female attire
that he refused to give up his petit
coats, and his request was that he be
buried in them.

A Queer Story.

OF the many incidents which hap.
pen to large circus as it travels
the country, the strangest ever heard
of happened to the old Forepaugh
show few years ago.
Upon arriving in little town in
west Illinois, the keeper of elephants
discovered that one of his charges was
missing. The keeper was certain
that the elephant was among the
others when they were taken down
the gang plank that morning.
1t was not until late in the after
noon that the whereabouts Of the
elephant was discovered, and even
then the problem was uhsolved. The
manager OF the circus received =
telegram from a railway station agent,
inquiring if his show had lost an
elephant, The dispatch stated that
there was an elephant found along
the railway track there and he sup
posed it must belong to the circus.
While the mystery was never fully
solved, it was the general verdict
that the elephant car door had not
been securely locked and that it had
swung open during the trip. 1t was
also probable that the elephants en-
gagged in a fight and this particular
one was pushed through the door and
off the train. Afterwards the door
undoubtedly rolled back into place
again, for it was closed when the
train reached its destination the next
morning.

A Pathetic Incident.

Rosalie NJ. Schuyler, Of Betterton,
Kent county, Nd, writes to the
Chestertown Transcript as follows:
"When Capt. Lee GoldsbOrough, OF
the Confederate States Army, paid
visit recently to the Confederate Sol
diers' Home near Pikesville, Md, he
was surprised at the conduct of one
of the soldiers whom he did not re-
member ever having seen before, but
who followed him around as he talked
with his old friends and comrades.
Finally, when the Captain was about
to leave, the soldier spoke to him and
said most wistfully, Captain, don I
you remember me2"
NO" said Captain Goldsborough,
81 cannot say that l do" "Why, l
used to be the drummer of your regi-
ment, and now | am blind, said the
poor fellow. 1t was not a minute be-
fore his hand was warmly clasped by
his former captain. "And how did
you know me?' he said. Il knew
your voice and l followed you, hoping
you would know me. | lost my sight
by the bursting of a shell.
1t is needless to say that these two
old comrades will need no other in
PRODUCTION in the future. How much
pathos is there in everyday life if
we only stop to gather flower by
the wayside.

Praise Work Well Done.

Perhaps there is nothing else 70
productive Of cheerful, helpful service
as the expression Of approval or praise
of work well done, and yet there IS
nothing so grudgingly, so mesgerly
given by employers. Many Of them
seem to think commendstion demoral-
izing and that the yoicing Of aPprecia-
ton will lead to listlessness and the
withdrawal Of energy and interest.
This evihces but poor knowledge
Of human nature, which ia always
hungering for appreciation. Bot how
mistakened such views are is shown
by the loyal and unstinted service
given to those large minded men
who treat their employees as members
of family committed to their care.

THE BALLAD OF THE COLORS.

A gentleman Of courtly air.
OF old Virginia he:
A damsel from New Jersey State.
OF matchless beauty She;
They met as fierce antagonist
They reason why. they say
Her eyes were Of the Federal blue,
And his Confederate gray
They entered on a fierce campaign.
And, when the fight began.
1t seemed as though the strategy
Had no determinate plan.
Each watched the others movements well.
While standing there at bay
One struggling for the Federal blue,
One for Confederate gray.
We all looked on with anxious eyes
To see their forces move,
And none could tell which cOmbatant
At last would victor prove.
They marched and countermarched with skill.
Avoiding we'll the fray
Here, lines were seen of Federal blue,
And there, Confederate gray.
At last he moved his force in mass,
And sent her summons there
That she should straight capItuate
Upon conditions fair.
''As you march forth the flags may fly,
The drums and bugles play
But yield those eyes OF Federal blue
To the Confederate gray"
''You are the foe" she answer sent,
ITO madens such as !
I'll face you with dauntIess heart
And conquer you or die.
A token of the sure result
The vaulted skies display
For there above is Federal blue.
Below. Confederate gray"
Sharpshooting on each flank began,
And mid maneuvers free
The rattle Of the small talk with
Big guns Of repartee,
Mixed with the deadly glance of eyes
Amid the proud array,
There met in arms the Federal blue
And the Confederate gray.
Exhausted by the fight at length
They called a truce TO rest;
When 10 another force appeared
Upon a mountains crest
And as it came the mountain down,
Amid the trumpefs bray,
Uncertain stood the Federal blue
And the Confederate gray.
A corps of stout free lances these,
Who poured upon the field,
Field Marshall Cupid in command,
Who swore they both must yield
That both should conquer both divide
The honors of the day
And proudly with the Federal blue
March the Confederate gray.
His troops were fresh and theirs were worn
What could they but agree
That both should be the conquerors.
And both should captives be :
So they presented arms. because
Dan Cupid held the sway,
And joined in peace the Federal blue
With the Confederate gray.
Twelve years have fed. passed today
The fort they built and saw
A sight to strike bachelor
With spirit-thrlling awe.
Deployed 4 corps of infantry,
But less for drill than play;
And some had eyes of Federal blue,
And some. Confederate gray.

A Professional Charity Worker.

The newest profession for women
is that of charity worke " remarked
a prominent club woman yesterday.
"You needn't laugh. There really is
such a profession, and it is new. and
if | were a young woman ! would en-
ter into training for it. There ls not
much competition as yet, and the op.
portunities for studying charity work
are limited, but still it is now posi-
bic. New York has established
training school for charity workers,
and it is meeting with success. The
women who enter are put into active
service at visiting under proper lead
ership and then there are courses Of
lectures upon the different phases Of
the subject. 1t is quite worth enter
ing from a financial standpoint, also.
Philadelphia is poverbially con.
servate, and yet we pay the young
woman at the head of our organizing
charities the salary Of $1,000, and
she can greatly supplement it by
lecturing and literary work upon the
subject of her professor. Other cities
do better than this, and the time is
no far distant when all charitable
work will be conducted in metbodi-
cal manner by an expert, who will be
well paid for her services. Phiia.
