Of the remainder badly wounded.
Pyle himself was severely wounded.
In the confusion he fed to pond OF
water near by and lay concealed be-
meath the water all except his nose
and mouth until dark and then crawl
ed out. Those Of the loyalists not
wounded, fed in every direction. The
Americans did not pursue them.
Such is war and such 1t ever will
be. 1t is said that Colonel Pyle and
his men had been carousing about In
the community for several days, en-
joying a kind Of drunken holiday, be-
fore setting out to join Cornwallis.
Lee taught both the loyalists and
British very salutary lesson. Pyle's
defeat was terrible episode on the
proclamation OF CORVALLIS. 1t was
now discovered that the rebels were
not conquered. This event took place
only five days after Cornwallis had
proclaimed that It had pleased Di-
vine Providence to drive the rebel
army out of the province Of North
Carolina. Most probably the earl
now thought that It had pleased d.
vine Providence to bring the rebel
army back into the province Of North
Carolina.

THE BLACK BALL.
A Clever Scheme That Was Spoiled
In the Drawing.


Two young men In French village
were called on to draw for conscrip-
ton. One only was wanted to complete
the number. and Of the two who were
to draw one was the son Of rich far
mer and the other the child Of poor
widow.
The farmer ingratiated himself with
the superintendent Of the ballot and
promised him a present Il he could find
means to prevent his son from going
in the army. In order to accomplish
this the official put into the urn two
black balls instead Of one white and
one black ball When the young men
came, he said:
There are two balls, one black and
one white, in the urn. He who draws
the black one must serve. Your turn
is first" pointing to the widows son.
The latter, suspecting that all was
not fair, approached the urn and drew
one Of the balls which he Immediately
swallowed without looking at 1t.
why" said the superintendent.
"have you done that?" How are we to
know whether you have drawn a black
or a white ball?'
"oh, that's very easy to discover"
was the reply. Let the other now
draw. II I have the black, he must
necessarily draw the white one"
There was no help for II, and the
farmers son, putting his hand into the
urn, drew the remaining ball. which, to
the satisfaction Of the spectators, was
q black one.

MICHAEL ANGELO.
The Humble Start In Life Of the Fa-
NOUS Master.

Two boys were herding swine In
Italy. They were evidently discussing
some very important subject, for they
were earnest at II. A man approach
ed, and the boys separated, each for
his own side of the pasture. The man
was angry and was shaking his hand
at them. The boys said nothing; they
drove their swine in and were quiet as
a mouse about It, The man had said
they should stay out until dark, and
the sun was not even set yet. After
they had driven the swine to their re-
spective places each crept to his room,
took his clothes and tied them In a
bundle. This done. they both crept
down and ran to the road which led
to Rome. Ones name was Peter; the
other Michael Angelo. Both were
poor boys. They tramped and tramp
ed, and the first thing they did when
they reached Rome was to go to
church. After they had rested and
prayed they looked for employment.
Peter received employment as the
cooks boy in some cardinals house,
but Michael could find nothing to do,
so he almost despaired.
He went to his friend Peter, who
gave him something to eat and at
night secretly let him into his room
In the attic to sleep. This went on
Co., n lon. tiroe PETER content to let
his friend do this and Michael con-
tent also. Michael when in church
had seen some fine pictures. One
which fascinated him was Christ
Ascending to Heaven" Taking bits
of charcoal, he went to Peters room
and drew pictures on the walls. One
day the cardinal had occasion to go
to the room. Michael had meanwhile
secured employment In the cardinals 3
kitchen. The cardinal, upon seeing
all the pictures, was dumbfounded
with their accurateness. He called
Peter and Michael upstairs and asked
who had drawn them. Michael con-
fessed he had, but said he thought he
could rub them out again. The car
dinal explained to him that 1t was
all right so far as the wall was con-
cerned. He took Michael and sent
him to a drawing master and gave
Peter a better position. And Michael
worked hard at his drawings, learned
diligently and became the renowned
Michael Angelo, one OF the greatest
painters Of his time.

BERLIN TO TRY MUNICIPAL
~ OWNERSHIP.

The idea Of municipal ownership OF
utilities GEMS to be gaining ground n
Europe. The matter has been agitated
IN Berlin for some time but only re-
Gently has it taken definite form. The
municipal authorities have decided
to take steps looking to the owner
ship by the city of the network OF
street railways in the city and these
connecting it with the many
and adjacent towns. At a conference
of the officials of the capital city and
the nearby towns connected with It.
by the street railways it was decided
to acquire The property OF these rail
ways and operate them en- the joiHS
account of all the municipalities. The
roads to be purchased have a capital
of twenty-five million dollars. If this
plan is carried out the results Will
be watched with great interest by
both advocates and opponents Of mu-
nicipal ownership in other parts Of the
world.

which occurred last night at 8 o'clock.
The little girl was in the yard at her
home Saturday afternoon playing near
q burning pile of leaves and trash. Her
dress caught fire, and before the
flames could be extinguished the little
one was fatally burned. Her screams
attracted the attention of the mother,
who rushed into tine yard n with her
bare hands Vainly attempted to tear
the burning clothes from her little one.
Before she could tear the burning
clothing from the little form the angry
flames had burned their way to the
little body and had inflicted terrible
wounds. Physicians were hastily sum-
moned and all that loving hands and
medical skill could devise was done to
save the little life, but to no avail.
Death came as a sweet relief from
great suffering.
The funeral of the little n was
held this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock.

guish the flames. was badly burned
