IN MEMORY OF A CHILD.
Loving Tribute to Little NJ. j.
Frazier.

On Saturday morning, June Ii, 1903,
the Angel of Death visited our midst
and gently bore away the spirit of our
darling bow, liGtle NJ. J. Frazier. He
was born October 81, 1901. Although
he was a babe little more than nine
teen months old, she cords of affection
had so entwined themselves about this
little one till our fondest hopes were
severed when we could no longer fold
him to our breast and hear his baby
Iisps. Bereft of his mother almost
from his birth my heart naturally
turned to him in pity, sympathy and
affection. The efforts of e loving faith :
err, physician, relatives and friends
we're futile against the burning fever,
so we must bow our hearts in reSigna-
ton to Him who doeth all things
WE'LL" We know that he has gone TO
meet his mother in that eternal city
where there will be no parting.
There's a beautiful face in the silent air,
Which follows me ever and near.
With its smiling eyes and amber hair,
With yoiceless'lips, yet with breath OF prayer
That feel but cannot hear.
The dimpled hand and ringlet of gold
Lie low in a marble sleep;
| stretch NV hand for clasp OF old
But the empty air is strangely cold,
And my vigil alone keep
laid my darling down without sigh.
For gaief for words was all too deep;
NV anguished heart could only send one cry:
Oh, God in heaven my darling keep.

PERvERSiTY OF DYNAMITE

Sometimes Refuses to Explode When
Every Opportunity 10 Afforded.
A resident Of Baltimore owned q
farm situated at some distance from
the city, OF which he was very proud.
But the land was rocky, and the own
er became anxious to get rid Of some
OF the boulders. The Baltimore Sun
tells how he decided to accomplish
this work, and vouches for the story as
being absolutely true in every detail"
Teh gentleman had resOurceful work
man on the place who suggested the
use Of dynamite.
Don't like to fool with the stuff,'
was the reply. "Too dangerous
"Oh, that's all right" said the farm
hand, cheerfully. There's no danger
II you go about it right. I've used 1t
many time, and haven't been blown
up yet. II you'll pay for it I'll get it
and blow out the rocks"
The owner of the farm agreed. He
gave the hired man the money and a
long and elaborate lecture about being
careful, and then sent him to Balti-
more. He had some misgivings, Tut
his state of mind was bliss compared
to what it would have been had he
known the truth.
The hired man Is conscientious, His
motto is ever DUTY before pleasure"
although he usually adds, "but plenty
Of pleasure after you've done the duty"
He had no sooner got to town than he
made directly for place where dyna-
mite Is sold. He bought generously,
for there were many and large rocks.
He also purchased lot Of fuse and
some percussion caps. That was the
duty. Next came the pleasure.
The package of concentrated annihi-
lation was not a large one, and could
be carried under the arm very easily.
That is the way the hired man did
carry it. It was a beautiful day, and
he determined to make the most Of 1t.
First he strolled along the crowded
streets. Had any one knocked the
package out of his grasp, the news
papers would have had "scare heads"
the next morning; and the hired man
would not have read them.
Next, the man took ride on troi.
ley car, and deposited the package Of
dynamite under the seat. The car
bumped along, but nothing happened.
He went to restaurant for supper,
and deposited the bundle on the floor,
then placed his feet on it. The res
taurant Is still intact.
Then the young man went to the
theater. he and destruction arm In arm,
as it We're. His seat was in the gal
lery, and he put the dynamite under
the seat. He was one of the most en-
thusiastic spectators, and when the
house rocked with applause at the res
cue Of the heroine, he stamped his feet
and clapped his hands with the best
of them. Just why that playhouse did
not soar aloft on the winds of the heav-
ems can never be explained. That is
one Of the queer things about dyna-
mite. 1t will act in certain way
ninety-nine times, and in very differ
ent way the hundredth time.
When the play was over, the hired
man picked up his dynamite and
boarded train for home. The next
day he blew up the rocks, and the dy-
Mantle was just as good and just as
lively as the best dynamite ever man

RECALLS AN ANNIVERSARY
Date When 9Th Massachusetts Regi-
ment Passed Through Baltimore.

1.-THE forty-second anniversary of the riot
in Baltimore, occasioned by the passage
through that city of the Sixth Massachu-
sets regiment occurred last Sunday, and
l made visit to the scene of the encoun-

There were many memories recalled by
visiting the scene of the first bloOdshed of
the civil war;" continued the old veteran.
Il was a young man then and a member
of the 9th Massachusetts,, and I remem-
Der the event clearly. 1t was nasty little
mix-up, but, of course, nothing like what
we got into after the war commenced.

1861, the Sixth Massachusetts passed in re-
view before President Lincoln and General
Scott We were camping then In the Sem
ate chamber at the old Capitol building and
few days later were sent out toward Har-

holding the fort. Things looked mighty
different around the national capital then

call the city as l first saw it,
Capt. Kicker stated that he received his
commission as captain from President Lin
