A young woman poorly dressed car

but the presence of long, thin man
Of large bone and a melancholy eye.
Mr.. Lincoln directed the messenger to
hand the mother a seat beside him and
asked:
what can l do for you, my good
woman"
The visitor told her story. not ia the
words it is given here, for she would
not have been able to give it as elabo-
rately, and the government clock could
not have been stopped long enough for
her thus to tell it, but her words, spo-
ken il a tremulous voice, interrupted
occasionally by the fretting of her
child, were doubtless far more effec-
tive than the following version:
In the spring of 1861. when the war
drum was calling from the Atlantic to
the Pacific for volunteers to fight for
the Union cause, regiment was drawn
up in the state of Pennsylvania in col
umn formation ready to march to the
railway station to entrain for Wash
ington. Just before the order For
wardp' was given a girl of twenty, car

many a month to come. There was

word March, rang out. the band
struck up an inspiriting air. and the
regiment moved away.

marched to the tune Of "The Girl

Sweetheart and wife, was the la
comic reply.
Jack Williams, though he had been
married but a few months, heard the
call of President Lincoln for the $1,000
volunteers that constituted the first
detachment of the great army for the
Union and enlisted at the nearest re-
cruiting station. One night in Virginia
he was on picket duty, standing peer
ing into the darkness for an enemy.
Suddenly he felt his arms grasped
from behind and a hand clapped over
his mouth His musket fell over in the
long grass without sound. He was
pushed forward until the picket line of
which he had formed a part was left
behind. Then gruff voice said:
Move on, Yank, if you don't want
any lead in your noddle."
A very neat job of picket capture
had been achieved by single Ccnfed-

The Baby

By F. A. mitchell

What's thatY'
President Lincoln was sitting in his
room at the White House dispatching
the enormous business involved in the
great struggle that he was directing.
while his anteroom was crowded with
those waiting their turn for-alI they
could expect-a few words with him.
The door between him and these per-
sons stood ajar, through which came
the cry Of baby. The president ceas-
ed from his labors and listened. The
cry was repeated. The work Of adj
ministering government with 1,000,-
600 soldiers in the field, struggling for
its existence, was brought to a stand
still by the cry of an infant.
Mr. Lincoln called an attendant,
charged with the introduction of visi-
tors, and asked him what it meant.

has been here two or three different
days. She comes from long dis

from the artists sketch where the waves
are coming from. They seem in fact
to he beating from the shore instead Of
from the sea. How Crusoe ever es-
capped from such all cnCompassin g
waves Is difficult to imagine.
Neither is it possible to reconcile
the American boys idea of Crusoe with
the hero depicted in Portuguese edi-
ton Of the book. In a fanciful concep-
ton by a Portuguese artist which is
| intended to represent Crusoe's dream
/ the castaway Is shown with a strikingiy

Finnish, Urdu, Dutch, Bohemian, Bor-
mean, Persian, Arabic, Turkish. Hebrew,
Yiddish, Greek and Latin.
Each nation as 1t appropriated the
story OF Robinson Crusoe appropriated
to itself the hero also. Thus in the
illustrations in the French copies OF the
work Crusoe is depicted as n French
man: when the Germans read about the
well remembered slaughter Of the can
nibal visitors to Crusoe's island they
swell with pride at the pictures showing
Crusoe was a German. while the Span
lard sees him only as a native OF old
Spain and the Russian recognizes In
him fellow subject Of the Car. And
so on with all the nationalities repre-
scented Crusoe is never an Englishman
except to the English speaking peoples.
Perhaps the most striking feature Of
the rare volumes in the collection is
the work Of the artists of the various
periods and Of the various countries.

 The larger centers are already be- ginning to feel the travelling compan- .ies presence.

And it is from the num- Der of early companies on the road that Manager Lockie takes the ground
 for the statement that the show sea
 son here this fall will be marked by fewer companies than ever before. The early travelling companies are lscarcer this year by half than at any other opening for the past ten years The bookings for the local house have not been started for the present season. However, Manager Lockie states, he has in sight several of the ] best road companies and he will prob ably bring them here before the close of the season. He will bring nothing
