The Mayor's eye twinkled; solemnly
He wrote the prisoner’s name.
A wild whoop in the corridor
Gave every ear a twinge.

A sleeve with rugged fringe.

WHY TED BIRNEI) THE KITCHEN.
; , '•
Tim baby always bad Ipwh Ted’* pet.
Ted was about eight years older than
tin 1 baby, anil mo he made it luabttainewi
from the first to make this little Mister
happy. He would sit for hours amus
ing the baity or rooking her cradle
wit limit a sign of worry, and he would
carry her about, too, even after she
grew heavy, to uliow her the pigs anil
chickens, until his sturdy short legs
could bear the burden no longer. In
short, he wag the best brother that a
little girl baby ever had, and by the
time that she could walk and talk a
little, M iss Baby had learned to think
he was her own private property. She
wanted Ted to lead her. Tea to talk to
her, Ted to show her whatever there
was to see, Ted to ait by her cradle un
til she went to aleeu. Ted to do every
thing for her. Anil Ted liked it nil, lie
cause he loved the baby la-tler than
anybody else in the world.
ifnt tliis is not telling my story. Tha
way of it was this: Ted’s father, who
lived in Central Indiana, used to go to
Cincinnati every year, driving a big
drove of hogs to sell there, and he took
witli him all the men and big boys he
could hire to help him drive the hogs,
for the trip was a long one, and there
were no railroads In that part of the
country in those day*.
It was at a time like this that Ted’s
mother was sent for to see her sister,
who was very sick. This sister lived a
good many miles away, and the weatl*.
er was cold and stormy. Ted’s mother
did not know what to do. She could
not take thy baby with her in such
weather, and there was no one to leave
with her ami lit lie ninc-vcar-ohl Ted.
••I’ll 101 l you, mother,” nai<l Ted:
“you just go along, am! I'll take core
of the baby till you ooiuo buck.”
“ Hut it is a Iona; way. Tod,” said
the mother, “and I may not bo back
till very late.”
“Well, what of that?" asked the
stout-hearted little follow. “ Vou don’t
s'|inso I'm afraid, do you?” If you’re
mine till midnight 1 don’t care. Just
leave the baby with me and go along.
If you don’t vet book by bud-time, I'll
go to bod, r.nd you can bang on the door
to wake me.”
The good mother hardly know what
to do. She did not like to put such a
load of care upon the little fellow, hut
the ease was pressing, ami there seemed
to be no other way. So, after looking
to see that there was food enough
eookial for Ted’s dinner and supper,
she mounted her horse and rode awav.
Ted held the baby up to the window
and made her kiss her band to their
mot her as she looked back from the top
of the hiih Then he set to work to
make a day of it” with .Baby. Ho
Id need horse and let the baby ride on
its back; he showed her all the pictures
in the big Bible; he made a house out
of the chairs and tables, and did a
hundred things to make the day pleas
ant for his little sister, and she laughed
at his funny pranks until she could
laugh no longer. Then lie gave her
some bread and milk, and, taking her
in Ids arms, sat down in the rocking
chair and sang her to sleep. Ted
couldn't sing, as'a matter of fact; he
•could only shout the words without get
ting within a mile of am tune, but
Baby thought his singing the very best,
she had ever heard, and so it answered
every purpost:.
Bi foiv (lio baby waki il it liail bi'jrun
to snow, and so 'l'ial had a now tliinn to
show hi .. The suow was heaiitiful to
look at. as it fell very fast, and the lit
tle jrirl was full of the fttti of watching
it through the window. So the day
passed and night came on. It was still
■snow ing hal'd, and a tieroo wind had
-begun to blow. After Ted had put the
baby to bed. and piled a lot of wood on
the fire, be sat down in the big roek
ing-ehair to wait, for his mother, who
|iad not yet come. The wind was blow
ing like a hurricane, and it made him
restless and uneasy• He was not afraid,
for he was a very plucky little fellow,
but as he listened to the' wind howling
through the tn-i'-topa anil moaning
jiroutm the house, anil heanl the win
dows rattle, he thought of his mother,
#lio must be somewhere out in that
terrible storm, anil he was uneasy about
her. Still, he hail no fear for her
safety, as he knew that she was useil to
fi tting over troubles, anil so at last he
went to til'd ami to sleep. ___
* * n.
f When Toil wakeil he was puzzled.
It w its dark still, but somehow it did
put seem to be njeht. He could hear
*he wind blowing, but it sounded a long
May off, or as it might have sounded to
tiim if his head had been wrap pill up
n a blanket. There was no more of
its moaning around the house.
He jumped out of bed with a queer
’feeling. as if something strange had
happened. He stirred up the tire, and
■brew on some wood, which made a
blaze. Then he looked at the eloek.
“Half past eight!" he said to himself.
1“ Why, how is that? I went to bed at
ten, so it can’t be half past eight at
■light. But it isn't half past eight in the
■Doming, for it’s dark. I wonder if I've
blept all night and all day?"
t With this he opened the back door to
get some wood from the pile. But in
- stead of going out, he started back in
Surprise. The doorway was blocked up
rwith a wall of snow. He ran quickly to
♦the front door and opened it. The wall
of snow was there, too, arid all the win
dows were blocked up in the same way.
Teil understood now. It was half past
eight in the morning, but the house was
completely hurled in a snow-drift. He
and the baby were snow ed in alone.
I have -aid that Ted was a plucky
littTiTfellow, and so he was; but this
was a terrible state of affairs, arid for a
few minutes lie was sc: red. Snowed in,
with the baby to take iare of, and with
out any - chance of help coming to him,
he might well feel alarmed. His moth
er hail not got home, and ho could not
guess what had become of her. The
very nearest neighbor lived live miles
away, and there was no knowing how
long it would be before anybody would
find out what had happened.
But Toil soon saw that getting seat fid
would only make matters worse.
“I ean’t help mother,” he said to
himself, “wherever she may Ire; and
what I’ve got to do is to take care of
Baby till the snow' melts. Wonder how
long that will be? Two or three weeks,
lotion lit Think. Ana what arc we to
cat. Jvwonder? Let’s ace.”
With\that he lighted a candle and
went to \)he cellar. There was only a
little rnillc'Jeft— about enough for Baby’*
breakfast, and TVd brought that up and
set it to heat by the fire.'. The baby was
awake now, arid si? he dressed her and
gave her her bread* and milk. Then ha
cut norm; bacon and'fried ifo for himself,
hut he would not eat any lirdncl, because
he knew there was enfy part <4 a loaf
left, ntnl he must save'that for Hrfiy.
After breakfast lie l.*rgan to lay his
plans. At first he tlusight of.digging
out, but ite gave that up?.' Ireeause, etom
if lie should get out, he i wild not carry
the baby I<t miles in sucAmuiow. fie
knew enough to In; sure tHnt'tlie snow
was not sfc* ilhwp overywtunr as it was
around tfw House. He aemenibercd'
how tin; wind; had blown, audiknew that
the house wraeburied in a tiilftpbut he
knew that fi-ir- must have lave been a
very deep snow-fall to make Mje.h a drift,
anil it would rtnwr do for li.au to try to
carry the baby- through a decTT snow to
a house five miles away. He Truest just
stay where lie mat,, and take rtarof tho
baby.
The. first, thii/g'to do was to new how
much wood there was at tin: In hum;-. Ho
he dug a hole in': line snow at hi!' side
of the door, anil i drought in Ul' there
was there, exce|4i' one liig built log
which was too heivuy for him. As ho
hsiked at the pile lie saw that it vvnild
last till night, iinnll liy that. I uir* ho
meant to get the buck log in lissome
means. He-was worn; troubled rtknmt
milk for the baby. There wawiuone
felt now, and he wondered if he ocnild
get to tin; cow-shed a many way. b was
a tong way nil', but lr must have milk
if he could get it, ami he must to (
feed I In; cows too, far if nobodyy led i
them they would liavwto live on tlnriiny ■
which stood in a stanik at the ei-ki of
their shed. •
Bravely the little fctlow set to 1 rack
to make a tunnel to the cow-house, .hut.
it was very slow work, lie began* at
the door of the suinuser kitchen, :a*d
threw the snow, as Ins-dug it out, -too
that shell. The further lie went, .-the
more slowly he got on,-for he liaiU to
bring all the snow back to the shed
kitchen and pack it imthere. He
at work, however, untill he was tin,si
nut and very hungry, and yet lie had
hardly marie a fair beginning. Be
saw that he must give up the idea of
digging Ills way to the- cow-sheil, trod
get on in some way without, milk. hit;
was very sorry on Baby 's account, imt
there was no help for it; .so he set abuut
getting dinner.
There was no difficulty, about hisuwn
dinner, for there was plenty of bacotiAo
fry, and hi; could roast as many pem
locs as Ire liked. But the baby’s dinner
was tin; pti/.zlc. She would eat a liljiie
roasted potato with him; lipt a baby
only a year and a half old could; mil
live on potatoes. She always ate move
bread mid milk than anything else,, but
milk was out of the quKstiiin,.iuidibnuad
and water would hardly do.
“ Wonder if I could make her ai pad
ding!” said Ted, after thinkingthe rent
ier over. “Mother puts-eggs in pud
dings, I know, and there an'two eggs
in the cupboard. 1 wonder what else
she puts in? Milk? Yes, andlhaven’t
ally milk. May be it'll do withouimtalk.
Let’s see."
And with that he carefully planuses! a
pudding. He tried to remember what
liis mother did when she inade t dash of
the kind, but lie could not remember
much. lie believed sho beat; the- eggs,
so he would do that at any rate. Taking
pile of the eggs, he broke it and beat it
with a spoon, but as lie did not keep
the yelk and the white sepamatev the
beating did not make it look quite right.
•• It’ll have to do anyhow,”' he said,
after wondering whati. was the- matter,
and so ho set down the howl of egg and
prepared the rest of his-pudding. Break
ing up what bread there was left, he
wetted it with snow-water,, put in a
good deal of sugar, and set the mixture
by the lire to heat.. When life, was hot
through lie’stirred in the egg, am! then
tasted the result, lit war, mot much of a
pudding, hut he had talked to Baby
about it till she' was- sun* it was
the greatest pudding anybody ever
made, and, as it was- sweet, she ate it
without liiuliug our that it was not a
real triumph of cooking skilL
Whim dinner wots over. Tod set to
work to get the big back log into tho
house, and this was anew frolie for
.Baby to watch. The, log was very
heavy, but his mind was made up. He
dug the snow away from the log. and
then tried to swing the end around; but
the wood Wits frozen to the ground, and
i would not m(ove. He brought out the
big tongs fiir a lever, and after bend
ing them nearly double in trying to
start the log, he succeeded. The log
gave jvay suddenly. Ted fell over it,
and a great mass of snow fell upon him,
completely bury ing him. He scrambled,
out in a moment, and shook the snow
off', making Baby laugh at what she
thought was one of Ted’s jokes. Tliv
ing was now"loose, hut it took Ted a
long time, with very hard work, to get
it over the door-sill and into the house.
By the time that he got it into its place
in' the back of the great chimney he was
quite tired out ; but he knew be must
have some wood to go with it, else the
log would never burn at all. and he bad
made up his mind what be would do for
wood. The tunuel that ho had begun
to dig toward the cow-house would lead
past the big wood-pile, where there was
plenty of wood, and Ted meant to go
on with his digging the next day, so as
to get to that wood-pile at least. But
for to-night he was going to burn the
summer Kitchen; that is to say, he was
going to burn all the planks and tim
bers of the summer kitchen that he
could knock loose with the ax.
“It’s only an old shed," he said to
himself, pand if it was the finest parlor
in the world, I’d bum it up before Baby
should be cold. And if mother don't
come, and I don’t get to the wood-pile.
I'll bum the chairs and tables and bed
steads, and all the floors in the house.
I won't do that if I can help it; but one
thing's sure, and that is that Baby's got
to be kept warm."
So he took the ax and knocked the
summer kitchen to pieces, and piled the
wood in the house ready fur use. For
the baby's supper he boiled theeggthat
was left, and after putting her to bed
be was glad to go to bed himself.
Morning came again, but still no
word or sign from the absent mother.
Ted was very uneasy about her, but it
was of no use to worry, and he %ad the
baby to care for. The eggs were gone
now, and so for Baby’s breakfast lie
made a sort of gruel of corn meal, and,
to help out, he gave her wiiat was left
of the bread, first wetting and sweeten
ing it and making it hot.
But now he was growing very un
easy. The bread was all eaten • up,
though Ted bail not touched a crumb
of it himself, and lie did not know what
to give Baby Ur eat for dinner and sup
per except gruel. lie tried to make
.soup out of bacon, but it was onlv
gr-. isy. salt water, and he could not
give her that. Then Jie remembered
that Un- hen-house was Bear the wood
pile, •■*<* he make up his mind to go on
working at his tunnel until he should
get to trie hen-house, no matter how
tired he :3k on Id Ire. But firrt ho mixed
up some iiwn-breail and set if. to bake.
By the time that was baked I*►' bad got
as far as the Wood-pile with the-Sonnel,

At last her horse beir.une worn out, ami
fell as he wass tryiug to struggle ovet

The poor animal was unable to rise
ngain, and the.- half-frozen, half-dead!
woman-went•oroim’ root, tolling through
the great snow-banks, and staggering
with giddiness from cold anil fright ami
weariness. Hour after hour she kept
on, going nil; the time further away

the poor woman gave lip. 'then she

farmer nor- any member of liis famii.Vy

they could) foe her, and got her to bed

All thatidiiv and night she was out-of

how long sh-e liail been away from

There was no more sheep for Ted. or

who marrii*t a profane husband, mvi.-ed
her four bridesmaids to dinner. Tin* five
refined u*d beautiful woman sat down at
the table, with the habitual swearer, but
all failed to go as merry as a mr.irr pge

the roMfc beef, one of the bridesmaids
blank blanked the gravy, ami third
blanked blanked the servant to \Jank for
her awkwardness. Over th'i dessert the
profanity became ifcit and. huious, and
the amazed husband, startled at the ut
ter incongruity and indeoency of the
language used* rested his head upon the
table and wpt with remorse to think
that he had, ever let an oath cress his
lips. This is a very nice story ; but is

That’s a ectnmon expres
sion and has a world of
meaning. HoW much suf
fering is summed up in it
The singular about
it is, that pain in ths back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver cam
plaint, consumption, cold,
rheumatism,dyspepsia,over
work, nervous debility, &.
Whatever the cause, don’t
neglect it. Something is
wrong and _ teds prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surcr’y
.cure such diseases as
Brown’s Iron BiTTE*s,and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and mak
ing the blood pure and rich.

For a long time I hare been a
sufferer from stomach and kidney
disease. My appetite was very poor
and the very small amount 1 aid eat
disagreed with- me. I was annoyed
very much from son-retention of
urine. I tried many remedies with
no success, until I used Brown's
Iron Bittern Since I used that my
stomach does not bother me any.
Myappetiten-simplyimaaense. My
kidney trouble is n< mere, and my
general health is au<d,fhat I feel
like anew mao. After the use of
Brown's Iron Bittfcrs for sue month,
1 have gained twenty pounds in
weight. O. B< Sakgskt.
