that soul, and for the first time In his
short life, that had been crowded so
full of the harsh, the coarse, the I'M
lovely experiences of poverty and dis
tress; just as his soul was lowering
on the border of that land whose light
even now was clarifying his face, he
experienced joy
When her voice died away he drew
a long, deep, quivering sigh. Gee!
Amt that a corker | hain't never
heard anything like dat before
nevir." Oh, the pathos of it! The
rough, coarse slang of the streets, the
only language he knew, to express the
emotion of that beautiful soul. The
tears sprang to Barbara's eyes and
she pressed the little, cold hand that
lay outside the coverlid, to her lips.
Presently he said in voice so low
she had to lean down to catch the
words, "Wonct | heard a song at de
barricks, bout Teller what lived up
in de sky and loved kids; does yer
know dat one?"
Perhaps do dear; was II anything
| like this?" and Barbara hummed the
refrain of that sweet hymn children
sing, Suffer Little Children to Come
Unto Me, Jesus Said"
A joyous light broke over his face
and a CLEAN of radiant brightness
came into his eyes. Yes, dat's it,
OATS it, Sing it agaln!"
The nurse came quietly in at the door
and framed the words with her lips.
Go quickly" Her trained eyes told
her what was coming. But Barbara
shook her head and walked over to
the window.
The nurse moistened his lips with
some stimulant and tried to help him.
But the pain was cruel, twisting and
torturing the poor, mangled body.
Barbara stood holding on to the case,
ment of the window, drawing her
breath in great gasps as If that could
help him.
When the paroxysm had passed he
lay back on the pillows exhausted
Barbara crept back to the bed. Slow
ly the deep violet eyes opened and the
same exquisite smile he had greeted
her with crept over his face again
His lips were moving Barbara
caught the words: Jesus, what loved
de little kids! Do yer tink He'd care
fer a little Teller like mel"
ooh, little boy, little boy, am sure
he would. | am sure he would" SAID
Barbara Again that marvellous smile
just touching the corners of his mouth

Civil War Soldiers sin.

York, Pa, is probably the only city
in the United States that can boast of
having soldiers of the civil war still
in service.
In 1862 seven companies were
formed there, mustered into the serv-
ice of the state and assigned to the
duty of guarding railway property in
York county. They were stationed
along the Northern Central railway
between the village of Seven Valley
and the Maryland line.
When rumors of Confederate fnva-
sion would reach the border coun-
ties, the young guards would be or
dered out to protect the railway prop
erty. When the rumors died out they
would be permitted to return to their
homes.
The companies were not designated
by letters or titles and were not at
tached to any regiment. Because of
this, or perhaps because of the neg
lect of the military authorities. the
companies were never mustered out
of service and discharges were not is
sued to the men, so that legally the
seventy-five survivors, most OF whom
still live, are still in the service OF the
state.
William Wanner, a member of one
of the companies, thinks that the sur
vivors ought to have honorable dis
charges from the state, and, through
State Senator e. X. McConkey, he will
petition the legislature in behalf OF
his surviving comrades. Previous at
tempts have been made by members
of these companies to gain honorable
discharges, but no legislative action
has ever been taken on the matter.
To expediate action upon their pc
tition, Mr.. Wanner has suggested that
the seventy-fve survivors, when they
apply for discharges, also put in
claims for pay for the forty-one years
they have been in service. Each mans
claim against the state would amount
to $6,393, making the aggregate claims
$479,475.
The seven companies performed
their last active service Just prior to
the burning of Chambersburg by the
Confederate forces. They were then
disbanded and many of their members
enlisted in other companies which saw
hard service at the front.

The Next Eneampment.

Boston in 1904.
This was the unanimous vote OF the
national encampment of the Grand
Army % the Republic at San Francis
co, and goes to show that the old vet
Grams who fought in the civil war for
a united nation know a good thing
when they see it. 1t also shows that
although the comrades are growing
old and feeble, their minds are still
clear, and they have not forgotten the
royal good time they had in the Hub
thirteen years ago and the cordial
welcome and lavish hospitality re-
ceived on that occasion.
Everyone then threw open their
houses to the honored veterans who
fought from 81 to 65, and the same
hospitality will be shown next year.
Bostonians also went deep into their
pockets to defray the expenses of that
encampment, and so large fund was
raised that 20 per cent of the amount
subscribed was returned to the donors
after the encampment-som I'M
precedented in the history of the Or
der.-Boston Herald.

EMPEROR SETS NEW FASHION.
Ruler Of China Kissed Small Amerl-

Ruler Of China Kissed a Small Ameri-
can Girl.
Mrs. Archibald Little in a recent
magazine article says In describing
the Chinese court, that the empress
dowager is of "the type so well known
in every land where society exists.
Were she an English mother she
would, one feels at once, marry all her
daughters to eldest sons, irrespective
of whether they were lunatics or con-
firmed dipsomaniacs." The emperor OF
China is of another disposition. AT
party he repeatedly kissed a little
American girl of years. How had
the very idea Of such a thing ever
been suggested to him? No Chinese
man throughout the whole length and
breadth of the vast Chinese empire
ever kissed wife or child unless he
has been taught to do so by a for
eigner. No Chinese mother even kisses
her child. The nearest she gets to 1t
is lifting her childs face up to hers
and, as It were, smelling at 1t. Yet
here was. the emperor of China evil
IDENTIFY versed in the practice, so that
directly he saw this foreign little girl
he took her up and kissed her as if it
were the most natural thing in the
world, whilst to the everyday China
man this would be a most unnatural
and indeed repulslve process"

THE LITTLE TELLER
by HELEN FARR HUNTER.

IL ever the light that never was on
land or sea" glorified a human face
IL glorifled the one that lay before
her on the pillow. Great dark eyes of
that rare color so seldom seen, violet,
deepest violet, wonderful eyes like
two deep wells; one could look and
look and yet not fathom their depths;
brown hair pushed back from a broad
white brow. Every vestige of sin and
earthly dross washed free from the
small. perfect features by physical
pain. Circumstances and environment
made him a street gamin. God made
him beautiful.
She had entered the room reluctant
ly. dreading to look at the bed where
be lay Unused to such scenes, she
shrank from the sight of pain and
suffering. An hour before she had
come to the hospital to sing for the
children. Just as she was leaving
nurse had followed her and told her
OF this boy dying upstairs. He had
heard her through the closed doors
singing to the others. and begged to
see her.
Her glance began at the foot of the
bed. and moved up gradually over the
motionless limbs to his face. When
she met the glance of those wonderful
eyes every feeling but tenderness and
pity vanished. She was beside him

GEN. Kearney's Harsh Words.


81 made pretty fair jump once"
said Comrade Murray. THAT was at
the second battle of Bull Run, and
was then in the Third Michigan. At
first we were held in reserve, but
later were in the very thickest of the
fight and under the heaviest fire
ever experienced in the army. We
stood it for time and then the regi-
ment melted away and | cut away on
my own hook. Near us was the en-
,ankment of railway from which the
'ails mad been taken, and | made a
lash for that in the belief that If
could get over | would find shelter
from the murderous fire still raking
the field. AS / came to the embank-
ment the problem of how to get over
beset me, but just then a shell burst
right behind me and propelled by the
resulting commotion in the air went
over that embankment like bird.
But there was no depression on
the other side, and | was as mucn ex-
posed as ever. Then | made my way
to the woods near, and there l found
Captain Walters of our regiment, a
man named Fish, and several others,
and we put up very good sort Of
fight. Pretty soon Gen. Phil Kearney
came riding down to that neck of the
woods to see what was the matter
with his line He rode right into our
squad, and, refining back his horse,
asked to what regiment we belonged.

we got there, and said he didn't know
whether any others of the regiment
got away or not. Kearney burst out
with: You cowardly sons of guns,
never saw a Michigan man run be-
fore and rode away.

rough speech, shell struck Fish and
rs went down, terribly mangled. Wal
tiers and | carried him to an ambu-
lance and l was detailed to go with
him to the hospital where DR.. ID. w.
Bliss, who afterward became famous,
tried to save Fish by amputating a
leg. He failed, but he held on to me,
and all that night / served as the as
sistant of DR.. Bliss in good many
amputations, Kearney's rough words
ringing in my ears l remembered,
however, Kearney in another incident,
and / forgave him. At Harrison's
Landing our company was on picket
when Kearney rode down upon us. 1t
was a warm day, and the boys were
lying about in some disarray when we
saw the general coming.

into line by the time the general was
ready for his salute. We expected a
| scoring, but Kearney, looking about,
spied a man under guard, and asked
why he was under guard at such a
time. replied that he was under
arrest by orders of the lieutenant com.
