"a troop of mounted rifles were re
turning after a hard days scouting
to our camp near Middlehurg. in the
eastern part Of the Transvaal. On our
way back we had to pass the town
cemetery. which was on the side of a
hill. Near the gate of the cemetery
stood a shed in which was kept the
town hearse.
"The doors of this building were
open as we were riding past, and in
some manner the blocks which were
usually kept under the wheels of the
hearse must have become diSlodged.
for the hearse slowly moved ont of the
shed and rolled down the hill into the
middle of our party, who scattered in
all directions.
The officer in charge of the troop
ordered four men to dismouut and take
the hearSe back. Now comes the queer

The confusion Of two tiny paste

the burial OF one child under the name
of another, who, to her parents over

The living child is three-year-old
Mollie Engelman, daughter Of David

friends have collected in dazed sur
prise to express congratulations which
are all too weak to meet the remark

In another home, that of Mr. and
Mrs IsadoTe kaufman, 2944 Westmont
street, there is naught but desolating
sorrow, for there has pierced to their
hearts the terrible conviction that
their daughter, Beatrice, whom they
thought soon to have back in their
household, lies under the earth in Mt
Carmel cemetery.
The remarkable revelation which
carried such overpowering joy to one
home, such narrowing grief to anoth-
er, came when the Kaufmans refused
to accept the child offered them as
their daughter. Immediately there be-
gan an investigation which showed |
that the little girl really was Mollie /
Engelman.
Hope died hard with the Kaufmans,
but it died at last Mrs. kaufman,

The identity Of the child who died

MELISSA WOULD NOT Be A HAIR.
VEST HAND.

Men are not angels, my dear Me-
tissa," observed Mrs. Merriwid's mater
nal maiden Aunt Jane, threading her
embroidery needle with a strand of
moss-green silk and simpering g. little
as she spoke.
"A little lower than the angels we
are told, believe" agreed Mrs. Merri-
wild, whose nimble white fingers were
occupied with French knots. Il should
say that Mr.. Uisterbee was quite a few
notches below the angelic standard.
That's what makes him so extremely
entertaining"
Exactly what I say" remarked
Aunt Jane, with an air of triumph.
"But considered as matrimonial
proposition"
"Yes?" said Aunt Jane.
"Well, you know what people say
about him"
People exaggerate," said Aunt Jane.
"At all events, nobody can find any
fault with his conduct pow"
81 suppose not" unused Mrs. MerNi-
wild, "and I suppose he has been just
as much sinned against as SHINING"
mo doubt of it," said Aunt Jane
and it's natural that a man should
SOW his wild oats"
There are very few who do not, I'm
afraid" sighed Aunt Jane. 1.-THE great

thing is that he is reformed" she
added.
"And they say reformed rake
makes the best husband" Mrs. Merri-
wild supplemented.
Aunt Jane said she had always
heard so and was disposed to think it
true.
Mrs. Merriwid laughed. you love-
Ly darling!" she exclaimed.
81 didn't think you knew how to
wink, and here you are fiuttering both
eyes at Mr.. Uisterbee's frailties. LIZ
bad, naughty man wants a charitable
judgment of his iniquities, his one best
bet is certainly the nice, innocent
lady who doesn't know what iniquity
is. / believe you would approve of
our engagement. You would, wouldn't
you?"
81 don't see any good reason why |
should disapprove," replied Aunt Jane.
Il believe that I'll take you down
town with me this afternoon and get
your eyes examined, dearie," said Mrs
Merriwid. DO you mean to tell me
that you haven't seen the bilious tinge
in Mr.. Uisterbee's complexion?
Haven't you noticed the lines around
his mouth and the dark pouches I'M
der his eyes, and the little network OF
red veins in his handsome nose--or
bow unsteady his hand is? My dear,
rake never reforms until it has lost
all its teeth, believe me. When that
happens, you may use what's left OF 1t
for some domestic purpose, but you
won't find it satisfactory. A rake is
rake just the same as spade is
spade. AS for sowing wild oats, that
wouldn't be so bad if a man had to
harvest his crop himself. The trou-
Bile is that his family and friends al
WAYS have to turn in and help and
there's never any telling when the job
is done. Another thing, there's never
wear when q clump isn't apt to
spring up in some fence corner and
seed another patch somewhere else. i
don't know much about agriculture,
auntie dear, but / understand wild
oats are meaner and harder to get out
of the ground than Canada thistles.
81 don't know what Canada thistles
are, but think il a man is sincerely
sorry for the errors of his past and
tries to lead a better life, it is our
duty to help him" Aunt Jane said
this very seriously.
Il think he's sorry for the errors OF
the past replied Mrs. Merriwid.
Poor man. It's pretty hard on him
to be Obliged to lead a strictly tenn
perate and virtuous existence at his
time OF life. II he had only been vici-
Gus in moderation, he wouldn't be
obliged to adopt regular habits now.
