HotU Cordufo
Won the Prize

On the day that the Princess Bright
ta's prize was 20 be awarded little Cor
dula went to school with sad heart.
she had so much wanted 10 win that
priae. Sibylla and France and Helene
and all the other girls had been work
INK on their bits OF embroidery and fine
stitching these many weeks, but poor
Ntle Coriula had been forced to COOK
the food and brush the rooms and keeT
she baby happy, because the good moth
or had been Ill.
The beautiful Princess Brigitta was
Sne needlewoman. and she had offered
the prize of a gold piece to the little
girl who could present the best speci
men Of her own needework, Now the
Aay had come on which the work was
To be exhibited and the prize awarded
Each little girl brought forward her
work when she was called and laid II
On a small table beside the princess
When II was Cordula's turn there were
tears in her blue eyes as she told the
reason of her empty hands.
But dear child" replied the prin-
cess, thou sayest that the mother is
better. Hast thou had no time then,
for some little piece Of sewlngy
Indeed, | have not" the little girl
said earnestly. Now that the mother
b able to cook and sweep | have had
b mend stockings all the time I am
not in school for the Ave brothers and
ne baby. Oh. they make so many holes
In the stockings. dear Princess Brig
kta.r
"Ah. little one, run home and fetch
enc Of those stockings thou hast lately
nended"
Once In her fathers cottage new
dificulty arose. All the stockings that
had been mended had been put on that
very morning. Not one pair was left.
Then Cordula, In despair, turned TO the
baby. He had been dressed only a
couple of hours. Could one OF his lit
lie stockings be sparedf The mother
drew ii from the rosy foot, scanned II
carefully and said:
Take II, child, and II thou tellest her
why the creases are there am sure
she will pardon them"
80 the baby's stocking took Its place
among the dainty muslins and silks
and linens and when the prize was
awarded 1t did not go to Sibylla for
Aer hemstitching nor TO Helene for her
sffk embroidery. No; 1t went TO dear
Attle Cordula. because the princess de-
sfared that the stitches in the baby's
stocking were the very smallest and
svenest Of all and that the little darn
was the most beautiful piece Of needle
work there.

self with an old colt revolver. Inc
bullet took effect directly behind the

death. Mr.. Noise had been ailing
for some time, suffering with a
hernia, which had been causing a
great deal of pain, and it is thought
that the pain had become so great
and knowing that there was not
much hope of him being cured, he
had become temporarily insane and
committed the deed.
There was no one in the house at
the time, but his daughter Anna, who
heard the shot and upon going to in
vestigate found her father lying in
bed in Il pool of blood, with the re-
yolveT still clutched in his rlght
hand.
Her cries for help soon brought
her sister-in-law, Mrs. Theodore
Noise, who lives near by. A hasty
call was sent to Dr.. Walker Wash
ington, of Tottenville, who respond
ed promptly, but upon examination
