HER CHOICE OF DEMISE.
Pathetic Thought of Little Girl Who
Had Lost Playmate.

Mary had for neighbor small play
mate, a much-loved and attractive boy.
The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back a glance at his
mother. At that instant trolley car
swept around the corner and the re-
sulting tragedy threw the town into
mourning. Each family wept as
though it's own son had been lost.
Mary was utterly disconsolate and,
little as she had previously known of
death, realized in childish way the
added horror of this one. In her con-
vulsive grief, and while her father and
mother sat with sobs in their threats
and tears overlooking, Mary straight
ened up and sobbed:
Mother, when die hope it will be
OF a disease and not of damage!"

the seat with the robes wrapped
around them, patiently waiting for him
to come and get them. Fortunately
neither of the ladies were injured.

The order of Governor Conner wed- nesday revoking the order of with drawal of the troops from the Birm- fngham district caused renewed talk among the soldiers of the 2nd Regi- ment. 1tey wondered if it were pos- sible that they would be called out to relieve the now wearied men of the lst Infantry.
