THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A DOLL PEACEMAKER.

There was great uneasiness in the
fort, and the general was pacing up
and down in his room, while he pom
dered what to do. The Apache In
dams had broken from their reserve
and were advancing in full war paint
to the attack.
1t was an easy matter for the lit
tie company in the fort to defeat the
Indians if there should be fight, but
the generals orders were to avoid
war and yet to keep the Indians with
in their own bounds. AS he paced
about he thought he heard the crying
of child.
He went out and found a crowd of
soldiers gathered about a 4-year-old
Indian papoose, who had evidently
strayed from her. tribe.
The general himself picked up the
frightened little mite in his arms and
took her to his own quarters for a
comfortable meal.
Hours passed, and the general grew
uneasy. He had expected the mother
to come and claim the child. AS it
grew dark the papoose grew restless
and lonely, and finally broke into the
sobbing peculiar to the little Indians.
"She misses her mother as much, l
suppose, as though she were a white
child" said the general. Il must find
some way to comfort her"
One of the officers told him that his

"The very thing" said the general,
and forthwith went in person to the
officers little daughter to ask for the
loan of the doll for few hours.
Generous little Mary, owner of the
doll, when she heard of the crying
little Indian child, insisted upon CIV
ing up the doll to the papoose to keep
for her very own.
Soon the general placed the beauti-
full doll in the little papoose's arms.
At once she stopped crying, and
went quickly to sleep with the pre-
cious dolly clasped closely to her
heart.
A week passed, and no mother ap-
peared to claim the little straggler;
but the child played happily with her
new toy, and did not seem to mind.
Finally it was decided to carry the
little one back to the wigwams of her
people, since they did not come for
her. Tightly clasping her new treas.
ure, the child was carried to the In.
dams and left with them. They were
greatly excited about the beautiful
doll, none of them ever having seen
such a thing before.
Next day the Indian mother ap'
peared at the fort with the doll in
her arms, not believing it possible
that the toy had really been given
to her papoose.

her we'll, giving her a plentiful meal

TO FoRErELL FINE WEATHER.

If you want fine weather, look for
fine-weather signs. Here are some of
the most reliable, for they are based
upon scientific facts:
When the sun sets in sea of glory,
that is, when the sunset sky is red,
you may expect clear weather on the
following day.
At night, when the moon is clear
and shows clean edges, with no halo
or ring of mist surrounding it, there
is little danger of rain.
When the wind blows steadily from
the West the weather will continue
fair; it very rarely rains in our East
ern States with the wind in the West.
Watch the smoke from chimney
or from your campfire-it is good
barometer. If the smoke rises high it
means clear weather. The smoke will
also show you from which direction
the wind is blowing; so will flag
on an upright flagstaff.

this man, who few days previous was
but stranger to me. He seemed as
brother in trouble, who needed a
brothers consolation.
l thought walk in the city along
the busy streets might be some dis
traction for him, SO I gently prevailed
upon him to accompany me for a
stroll. The streets were still thronged
with people but my friend appeared
not to notice anything; he suffered
himself to be led wheresoever / willed.
We had been walking about thirty
minutes and during the whole time he
did not speak single word. I con-
sidered in my mind what l could do
for him or where l could take him to
draw his thoughts from himself. 1

he knew I was a Catholic Would he

Would he be displeased?
