The obIisins Old Lady Who Helped
the Struggling Boy.
When a kind old lady in walking
elong a north side residence street be-
held small boy struggling vainly to
reach something between the gratings
of tall iron fence surrounding a pa
latial residence she paused to watch
his operations. The object of his quest
she discovered to be handsome me-
chanical toy, an automobile that would
run when wound up. The boy had a
stick with which he was trying to pull
the machine toward him, but as he
could scarcely reach it the struggle
was well nigh hopeless.
"Let me try It," said the old lady.
'My arm is longer than yours"
"All right" replied the youngster, re-
linquishing the stick.
Getting down on her knees, the old
lady, by dint of much stretching and
careful manipulation, gradually work
ed the machine toward the fence and
at last had the satisfaction of seeing
the little boy grasp it with eager I'm
gers.
Now" she said, "you must be more
careful and not let it get away from
you again."
"Gee," said the boy. at never got
away from me, an it amt goin' to
neither"
"Wh-wh-why," faltered the old lady,
with the dawning Of a horrible sus-
picion, isn't 1t yoursT
"You bet it's mine now" said the
kid, and away he scampered, leaving
the good old lady alone with her con-
science.-Atlanta Constitution.

DoDGED THE DUELS.
VoItaire's Disastrous Attempts to Make
De Rohan Finht,

VoItaire's Disastrous Attempts to Make
De Rohan Fight.
Literary men in dueling times and
countries have always been rather
prone to get into trouble from which
only a passage at arms could extricate
them. Voltaire had at various turns
number Of duels on his hands, but
counted among them two which did
not reach the expected climax.
One of these was his affair with the
ChevaIier de Rohan Chabot, who goad-
ed him to the point of fighting and
then, instead Of giving him the salts
faction demanded, had him lured into
a coach and soundly whipped with
switches by some hirelings concealed
there.
Voltaire, after trying in vain to in
duce one of his noble friends to back
him in his further pursuit of his en-
emy, appealed to the municipal author
tiles in these phrases: II humbly rep
resent that 1 have been brutally as
saulted by the courageous Chevalier
de Rohan, aided by six cutthroats,
behind whom he was bravely posted.
Ever since that time l have sought to
restore not my honor, but his, task
too difficult"
AS this public affront failed to pro-
duce any effect, Voltaire hunted out
the chevalier one evening at the thea
ter and flung insults in his face there.
Rohan at last consented to meet him.
but contrived to let the news reach
other members Of the Rohan family,
who had Voltaire arrested and thrown
into the Basdlle.-New York Post.

THE MASTER SUN.

Sirius. The Dog Star, May Be the Gen.
ter of Attraction.
Astronomers once believed that the
entire starry universe revolved around
a center of attraction, and the star
named Alcyone. in the group of the
Pleiades. was selected by Maedler as
marking that great center
1t has long been known. however.
that Maedler's conclusion. which was
based on the apparent motions of the
stars, was incorrect. and if any uni
versal center exists it has not yet been
discovered. In fact, many of the stars
seem to be moving in straight lines,
some in one direction and some in an
other, and among these is our own
sun. But it is possible that further
observations will show that all the
stars are really moving in curved lines.
In the meantime it has been found
that there are certain groups or sets
of stars which appear to travel togeth-
er. To what set, il any. the sun be-
longs we do not yet know, but De-
launey has presented reasons for
thinking that those stars whose dis
tances have been measured that is to
say, those which are nearest to us)
group themselves around Sirius, the
dog star. in a manner similar to that
in which the inner planets are group
ed around the sun.
If this be correct Sirius may possi-
bly, be the master sun of which our
orb Of day is a distant satellite

True to his class. Kirby's opponent

Editor National Tribune: i read with
interest your article on the capture of
Holly Springs. There were there at the
time the 101st Ill. and a detachment of
the 29th ILL.,, beside the I'd Ill. Cav, 400
strong. The day before we noticed
quite a number of people in butternut
clothes in the town and near our camps,
spying out our positions. Col. Murphy
was warned IA hours before the attack
by Gen. Grant that Gen. Van Dorm was
making for Holly Springs. There were
enough bales of cotton to fortify every
street. as they had no artillery, but the
enemy slipped in between our pickets
and attacked the 101st Ill. before they
were up at the break of day. The I'd
Ill. Cav. was formed in the foreground
on the opposite side of the town, and
most of our men were mounted and in
line before the enemy reached us. We
charged and retook our camp five times
before we could get our dismounted
men out. and then had to cut our way
with them thru the enemy's lines. so
that they only got about 20 of our men
prisoners. Gen. Grant praised the men
for their bravery.-C. II. Moore, I'd Ill.
