THE BABY.

Victor Hveo.
Like a tiny glint of light piercing
through the dusty gloom

Comes her little laughing face through
the shadows of my room,

And my pen forgets its way as it hears
her pattTring tread,

While her praitling treble vones cnase
the thought trom out my head.

She is queen and I her slave, one who
loves her and obeys,
For she rules her world of home with

pecuniols baby ways.

In she dances, calls me odear!� turns
the pages of my books ;

Throws herself upon my knee, takes
my pe. with laughing lsoks.

Makes disorder reign supreme, turns
my papers upside down,

Draws me cabalistic signs, safe from
fear of any trown.

Crumble all my yerses up, pleased to
hear the crackling sound.
Makes them into balls and then"flings
them ail upon the ground.

Suddenly she flirts away, leaving me
alot® again,

With a warmth about my heart, and a
brighter, clearer brain.

And although the thoughts return that
her coming drove away,

The remembrance of her laugh lingers
with me through tho day.

And it chanees, as I write, I may take
a crumbled shest,

On the which, God knoweth, why:
read my fancies twice as svect!

BHERIDANTS JOKE ON GRANT,

é
Lhe Gnily Time the Great General Found
a Cigar Too Strong For Him.

They had ~ done� Florida"that
the Peninsular State
as people generally managed to see

1? yoars ugo"and the party, com-
posed of General Grant, General
Sheridan, their wives, two nieces of
Mrs. Grant, the secretary, Mr. By
ron Andrews anda solitary artist,
had just voyaged down the. gulf
coast, stopping for an eveningTs
osend oftTT"anda very lively time it
was"at Koy West, and now they
were domiciled in Havana, Grant's
perpetual cigar was.a pillar of cloud
early in the morning and a twinkle
of fire late at night. The Cuban col
ony of cigar makers at Key West had
stowed their staterooms full of their
choicest goods, while the famous
manufacturers of Havana had all
brought out special brands, sending
sample hundreds to the palace for
the approval of the two famous sol-
diees It would have been a breach
ot etiquette to keepacheck upon
oneTs smoking under such tempting
conditions. So the American visit-
ors puffed away at countless incom.
parable cigars while the gayly clad
officers of the palace household roll-
ed their cigarettes and wondered
how long the famous smoker could
keep itup. |

Presently there came a day when
the programme included a visit to
the lofty fortress of Cabanas, over
the bay. The heavy state barges
rowe@ the brilliant little party
across the breezeless harbor, and,oh,
it was hot! They climbed the zig-
zag path which leads up to the por-
tal cut into the grim front of the
great military prison, which was
even then nearly filled with prison.
ers of state. They were shown
through courts, deep, dark passage-
ways, parades, barracks and prisons,
which fill the whole vast interior of
this. great, gloomy, terrible place.
General Pocurul, then commandant
of Cabanas, paraded the troops with
a fine fanfare from a bugle squad,
and then lunch was served at head-
|quarters, high up on the battle-

_ ments, commanding a grand view of

|

the city and village dotted country,
which in those days presented a

~prosperous and beautiful appear-

ance, Gencral Grant saw everything
and smoked on faithfully. He noted
that of the hundreds of «cannon
planted everywhere, from the water
batteries beneath the palms far be-
low, up along the precipitous slopeg
to the crest of the walls of Cabanas,
nearly all were of antique model and
inferior caliber, practically useless
in a modern demonstration, but over
upon MorroTs walls, half a mile
away, as they were told, there were
rows of big new guns, especially
just to the right or eastward of the
castle. And so, having shown an in-
terest in the matter, the party must
go over to Morro, traversing cover:
ed ways. and long open spaces in the
noonday heat. All might have gone
well, however, but unhappily Grant
ran out of cigars. He searched de-
spairingly through his sundry pock-
ets, but, alas, all in vain. Then
came SheridanTs opportunity, the
chance he had been waiting for after
a long and varied experience of
GrantTs marked fondness for telling
army yarns at his expense. He had
a cigar. {ft was not particularly
large or obtrusive, just a regular Ai
Havana, but, oh, it was black and
rich and wicked looking! Sheridan
had been shown through a tobacco
factory the previous day. While he
waited this cigar was made for him,
and he put it away carefully and
smiled a contented little smile.

So General Grant, with a deep,
happy sigh ~of _relief, touched a

match to General SheridanTs cigar,

and Sheridan"he lagged and gy-

rated like a bad little boy who has
put a tack on his teacherTs chair. It
took a little time for the strongest
cigar ever made in Cuba to get in its
deadly work upon a well seasoned
old smoker like Grant, and Sheridan
began to grow despondent, but joy
once more suffused his rugged yet
rubicund features as he saw his old
commander with a pallid face talk-
ing hurriedly with the interpreter,
a funny mixture of English and
West Point Spanish, and a moment
later he collapsed in the shade of a
wall. There was instant alarm
among all who gathered around, and
even the jolly Sheridan yot a bit
rattled at his own success, but he
only winked solemnly at the secre-
tary and said: oTell Tem to keep
quiet and give him air. HeTll be all
right in five minutes. I thought it
would fetch him.�

Grant was indeed all right as soon
as he got up among the jumble of
defenses at the top of Morro castle,
where the cool sea winds blew some
of that nicotine out of his lungs, and
he gazed at Sheridan with a deep in-
digo look of suspicion, but he smok-
ed no more until the next morning.

THE LONG, HARD HILL,

They were st: nding + in the sunlight
Of the summer time of life.

She was still without a husband,
He was waiting for a wife.

And her cheeks were rich and rosy,
And her lips were luscious red,

So he pressed her dimpled fingers
As he looked at her and said,

As they stood there in the heather
Where the road had crossed the rill,

oMay we not fare together
Up this long, hard hill?�

Now her hand began to tremble
And her eyes were full of tears
As sh® trained them on the road that
Wound away among the years,
But she had no voice to answer
Him; she could not understand,
Forthe future lay before her
Like a faroff fairyland.
Thero was sunlight on the heather,
There was music in the rill,
As they went away together
Up the long, hard hill.

Oftentimes the way was sunny,
Other times 'twas full of lures,
But the love that had come to them
Was the true love that endures.
Though the bonny brow is wrinkled,
Though the raven lock be gray,
Yet the road might have been rougher
Had she gone the other way.
Now the frost is on the heather
And the snow is on.the rill,
And theyTre coasting down the short side
Of the long, hard hill.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to
incurable,

The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and Juvgs and
difficult breathing; headach: fickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeting.

There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the
interior of the stomach could be seen
it would slowa slimy, inflamed con-
Jition.

The cure fer this common and
obstinate trouble is found in a treat-
ment which caures the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has a time to ferment ~and irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach.

To secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one neczssary thing to
do, and when normal digestion is

secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the

safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Distsste, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, °
Golden Seal an fruit acids.

These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores uacer the name of

StuartTs Dyspepsia ~Tablets, and, not
being a patent medicine, can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after ameales

Mr, N. J. Booher ct 2710 Dearborn
St., Chicago, Ill.,- writes: **Catarrh
isa local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby
the liging membrane of the nose
becomes inflamed and the poisonous
discharge theretrum, passing backword
into the throat, reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
1e
tor three years tor catarrh of stomach
withcut sure, but today I am the
happiest of men after using only one
box of StuartTs Dyspepsia ~Tablets, 1
cannot find appropriate werds to

rexpress my good seeliug.

I have found ilesh, appetite and
sound rest from tuelr use.

Stuarts Dyspepsi. ~Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as che simp-
lest and most convenient remedy tor

and form of indigestion, catarrh " of
stomacn, biliousness, sour stomach,

heartburn and bloating after meals.

Send for little book, mailed free on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. ~The tablets can
be tound ateli drug stores.

A JOKE THAT FAILED.

Story of the Adventure of a Bookworm
and His Funny Friends,

Harding worked in a bank. By
inclination he wasa bookworm, also
by occupation. In common with
many other bookworms his chief
complaint was that he did not have
enough money to give his collecting
instincts free play.

There was a Mrs. Harding.

Her principal complaint was that
s0 much of HardingTs money went
for books. .

Quite recently that person who
crept into the ark under cover of
darkness"to wit, one book agent"~
made his appearance at HardingTs
office. He had a whole lot of books,
and Harding wanted most of them.
The argument was that ~~you only
have to pay 50 cents a week, and as
soon as you make the first payment
you get the books. Only so many
of this edition to be printed, and in
six months your copy will be worth
twice what you pay for it.�T

So Harding decided to buy an edi-
tion of Dumas and an edition of Vic- |
tor Hugo. He paid his first install-
ment down, and the next day tho
books were delivered at the bank.
The agent remarked that he would
have the books sent to HardingTs
house in Brooklyn if he so desired,
but Harding declared that for cer.
tain reasons he would rather have
them sent to the bank. Of course
everybody in the bank knew why.

oTl just take Victor Hugo home
tonight,TT he said, ~~and see how
Mrs. Harding likes him.�

Victor Hugo went to Brooklyn
last night, and the latest reports
were that Mrs. Harding didnTt like
him at all. In fact, Harding said
the next day that he really had nev-
er seen any one so provoked in all
his life as Mrs. Harding was-when
she heard that the monéy that
should have bought dresses for the
girls had gone for books.

~~TTll just have these books of Du-
mas kept here for a few days,TT add-
ed Harding, ~~and let Mrs. Harding
get over Hugo before I show her
Dumas..�T

The books were packed away.
They made quite a respectable bun-
dle and weighed a good deal.

A week passed, and Harding an-
nounced with great glee that he had
broached the subject to Mrs. Hard-
ing and that she had forgiven him
for spending the money on Dumas
as she had forgiven him the Victor
Hugo purchase.

oTl take them home tonight,TT he
announced, and an hour or so later
he went out for luncheon.

While he was away the spirit of
evil entered into come of the other
clerks, and they substituted in the
package for the books a number of
large bricks and many newspapers.
The books they stored away in a
desk, and then they told everybody
else what they had done.

The whole office rejoiced to see
Harding beading dcuble under his
load of books that afternoon and
epeculated on what Harding and
Mrs. Harding would say and do and
think when the package was opened
in Brooklyn that night.

The next morning the whole force
was on hand early to Jaugh at Hard-
ing, and when he arrived the pre-
liminary guffaws were enjoyed, but
Harding looked sad, so there was
not much laughing.

~~WhatTs the matter, old man?�T
asked his dearest friend, the one
who had substituted the bricks.

~~T never saw sucha man for hard
luck,TT answered Harding. ~~You
know that edition of Dumas!�T

oVes, What of it?�

~~Well, Lhad my wife reconciled
to my spending the money for the
books, and Saturday night I took
them home. I got on the elevated
over in Brooklyn, and the guard
wouldnTt let me take the package
into the car. I left it on the plat-
form and took my eyes off it for two
minutes, and some confounded thief
walked off with it.TT~"New York

Four Widows.

The chronicles of births and deaths
kept by the minister of a New Eng-
land parish in the eighteenth cen-
tury afford much interesting and
some amusing reading even at this
late day.

In the records of deaths in one
Massachusetts town is chronicled
the departure from life of three
widows three successive years.
Their names are so odd as to bring
an involuntary smile to. the face of
any reader who may chance ~upon
them. Thy are recorded in the fol-
lowing order:

1742, The Widow Duty.

1744. The Widow Lull.

1743. The Widow Yell = s"séit

~vention andthe hungry French-
man, told about in a biography
recently published ir England
illustrates the old adage anew.

He was in an English res-.
taurapt, and wanted eggs for
breakfast, but had forgotten the
English word. So he got around
the difficulty in the following
way: v |

Vaiterre, vat is dat valking in
ue yard ? |

A cock, sir.

Ab! And vat you call de cockTs
wife?

The hen sor,

And vat you eell de shildrens
of de cock and his yite? o

Chickens, sir.

But vat you call de shicken
before dey are shicked?

Eggs, sir.

Brivg we two.
