Spelling a War Story.

There Is a certain war veteran In
Boston whom we will call William
Brown. He has an honorable record.
and is fond of relating incidents Of
the rebellion. He often tells how he
got cut on the head from the: sword
of a Confederate cavalryman. There
is small bare place which he says
was the scar Of his wound. Many q
time we who work in the same Office
with him have heard this story.
Brown has a brother Charlie who
came into the Office the other day to
make call. Bill was at his desk
writing when Charlie walked up be-
hind him, and, giving him slap on
the shoulder. said loosely. 'sWeli, Bin,
I see you still have that scar ON your
head where Buffers dog bit you when
we were boys!" From that time ems

The general feeling was pessimistic,
eor it was admitted that neither the
house nor the senate was fully in &C.

propositions. But finally one of the
members arose and said. gravely:

WANT OLD TREE sAvEp.

Il am very glad" said an old Wash.
lngton citizen. who is lover Of trees
that President Roosevelt has taken Z
personal interest In the statue OF Kos

Of the site. The statue is to be erected
at the northeast corner Of Lafayette
park. where It happens one Of the
finest trees in the District magnif'
cent elm-graces that particular cor
ner Of the park. It is possible that the
people in charge Of the erection Of the
statue may think it desirable to re
move the tree in order to improve the
view. Many Of the members Of the
Cosmos club. located at the corner
have acquired personal affection fol
the grand old elm. which affords Z
most grateful shade in the summer
time. When the site Of the statue was
originally selected many months age
an informal meeting was held and q
letter of protest was written to Col
Bromwell, the engineer officer in
charge of public buildings and
grounds. He replied that their
wishes would be fully respect.

dent Roosevelt's gleat interest in
trees. 1t is hoped that he will see that
our grand old elm is not injured by
the new statue. The officials in charge
of the work of putting up the statue
say that there is room enough on the
corner for both the tree and the
statue. and that neither will interfere
with the other. hope they are right
In their opinion, but feel more safe
as to the tree in knowing that the
president is taking personal interest

Pettus, when asked about the incident,
''he would not have been able to GET

"oh. my father! my fatherw she
cried. why did you doom me to such a
fate? Why did you. ask me to give
that fatal promise? Oh, look down
from heaven and pity your child!'
The wind sighed mournfully in the
Expresses, the belated crickets anti
katydids droned in the hedge, but
no sweet voice of sympathy soothed
Margie's strained ear. For, wrought up
as she was. she almost listened to hear
some response from the lips which
death had made mute forever.
The village clock struck half-past
eight, warning Margie that it was al
most time for the ceremony to take
place. She started up, drew her cloak
around her, and turned to leave the
place. AS she did so, she felt touch
on her hand-the hand she laid for a
moment on the gate-as she stood CIV
ing a last sad look ut the mound Of
earth she was leaving; touch light and
soft as breath, but which thrilled he,
through every nerve.
She turned her head quickly. but saw
nothing. Something like the sound of
receding footsteps met her ear, nothing
more, but she was convinced that there
had been human presence near her.
Where? Her heart beat strangely: her
blood. moment before so chilled and
stagnant. leaped through her veins like
fire. From whence arose the change?
She reached her chamber without
meeting any one, and unlocking the
door. rang for her attendants. the
house was in strange confusion.
Groups were gathered in the corridors,
whispering together. and some uneX~
planned trouble seemed to have fallen
upon the whole place.
After little while. Alexandrin':

MY first case," said a well-known at.

porter, "was the defense Of a negro
preacher for stealing wood from rail-
road company. A great deal of fuel had
been lost from time to time, so when
the culprit was arrested the company
was so anxious to make an example of
him that it employed special counsel
and prosecuted the case vigorously. The
evidence against the old man was con-
vincing. He had been sneaking around
the woodpile and was arrested while
carrying off a load.
II had subpoenaed about twenty we'll.
known men to testify to the previous
good character of the defendant. When
the prosecution case was closed put
