HIS LAST REGISTRY.

HENRY L. SMITH. HEAVEN.
That was the peculiar way In which
a deaf and dumb man registered Mt the
police station at Sioux City, Ia.
Why heavens registry book at a DO
lice station?
1t might be there.
Indeed, II il as likely to be there as
In some OF the high priced hostelries
where the bediamonded clerk holds
out the pen for the registry.
Smith was neatly dressed, evidently
well educated and showed a cheerful
and gracious spirit. The desk sergeant
says he was courteous In demeanor
and exceedingly kind.
Was the man sane7
Did he devoutly believe as the book
says. Your citizenship Is In heavenY'
Or was he cranky No matter. II his
head was added his heart was sound.
The man bunked at the station sew
eral nights. hunting for work. which
be failed to find. He was glad to per-
form any service. however mental. for
the sergeant.
Deaf and dumb. but great souled,
Henry L. Smith was not deaf to the
real harmonies OF life, not dumb IN
prociaiming allegiance to that country
whose Maker and Builder is God -
but deaf to earth's discords, dumb 10
speak Ill OF any-a heavenly guest In
humanity's garb.
And then one day Smith started to
walk to his home IN Nebraska. That
evening he was struck by an Omaha
train and killed.
Well
The human torches In Nero's gar
dens, PauPs headless body on the road
to Ostia, Savonarola by way of the
stake, Henry L. Smith on a railroad
track-you see, THERE IS NO SPE-
ClAL ROUTE BY WHICH HOME
SICK MORTALS GO HOME.
For surely Henry J.. Smith will be
at home" In heaven.
Here he grew tired hunting for
work; there he shall work for an age
at sitting and never grow tired at
all" So far as we know, he had never
crushed with clumsy feet the flowers
or human kindness nor thrust unholy
hands into the heartstrings of a friend
deaf and dumb and poor, but ONE
OF GODS GENTLEMEN.
Piebeian name, Henry L. Smith, but
who knows?-it may be an illustrious
name In celestial regions.
He registered finally at his home

A FLOWER FOR BABY'S GRAVE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
copyrish,. 1905. BY Edwin A. Ny..


This Is true story of what hap
pened In Prospect Hin cemetery at
Omaha, Neb.:
Two boys, just average American
boys. Were strolling through the Gene
terry. Many OF the graves were dec
GRATED with flowers.
In that walk the lads came across a
small grave that had no flowers on II.
The younger boy, aged about seven
yeas. stopped and looked at the grave.
He turned shout to see IL any one was
near. The coast seemed clear. He
crept over to q nearby mound that was
almost covered with fne blossoms.
Teliins bis companion to keep watch,
the little fellow selected several bou-
quets from the well decorated grave
SecretinS the flowers under his jacket,
he crept back to the neglected little
mound and gently and lovingly be-
slowed them upon the tiny grave.
The two little fellows walked quiet
away, speaking no word to each 9TH
sT until they reached the street outside
the cemetery.
Then the younger said. "That wasn't
stealth. was itf'
Course 1t wasn't" responded the
other. Don't you think that little
baby had jsst as much right to fow-
ers on It's grave as some of those old
folksr'
Aye. boy. why notl
Somebody had forgotten baby's
grave. That was no reason why boy
should stand by and allow II. That
was no reason why the tender feelings
OF two boys should be hurt by such
neglect.
Benisons On their heads-and hearts!
They felt the reproach caused by the
neglect OF the baby's friends. They re-
moved the reproach and repaired the
neglect by taking a few flowers that
would not be missed.
Trust the sweet, tender instinct Of
right thinking lad to do justice and
love mercy.
1T WAS NOT STEALING.
don't care what the calf or buck
ram bound books In the law library

Austrian Leuenants Sweetheart Takes His Place In Duel With

Well as His Skin.

Most romantic is the tale which
comes from Ofen. in Austria, of the
latest thing In duels. A young ac-
tress after promising the mother of a
youthful admirer to save him from a
challenger found no way but to take
his place. This she did successfully
dressed in her admirers uniform. The
duel occurred a few weeks ago, but
the facts have only just leaked out.

bewitchlng of the younger actresses
