ITS PAPA WENT OUT TO SMOKE.
While Baby Took Part In a Comedy of
Errors In the Car.
Queer as it seemed, no one laugh
ed. The young man held the baby
as though ho had been carrying
4-week-old infants all his life. Ho
was a “transfer” from a North
State street car waiting with other
“transfers” for a Lincoln avenuo ca
ble going north. No woman was
with him, md he stood on tho cor
ner, the little ono snugly cuddled in
his arm, its head on his shoulder
and tho long baby skirts tucked well
out of tho way. Every woman in
ike crowd commented favorably up
on the young man’s skill and apti
tude, and the men eyed him with
secret envy and doep respect.
The Lincoln avenue car, as usual,
was crowded, but a baby in arms al
ways has the right of way, and the
young man found a seat. Before
North avenue was reached the crowd
thinned out, and the passenger who
occupied tho corner seat next to the
7/oung man left the car. In a jiffy
the little, red faced baby was plant
ed in the corner and in some myste
rious manner was seouroly support
ed by the end of tho oar and the
back of the seat. The women smiled
and tho men grinned when the young
man, leaving the baby tucked away
Pin tho corner, stepped cut on tho
front platform, wiped the perspira
tion from his brow and lighted a
cigar. Every block or so ho opened
the door, stuck his head inside and
satisfied himself that the little one
was safe. A young woman, accom
panied ' • elderly matron, sat
near th\ 'ud whenever the car
lurched she A..etched out her hand
and held the baby in its corner.
Just before the car reached the
curve at Center and North Clark
streets she moved up to the baby
and held it when tho car shot around
the bend.
At the corner of Sedgwick street
and Lincoln avenue a woman of de
termined mien and firm lips, 50
years old or thereabout, entered
the car. The only vacant seat was
between the young woman and her
elderly companion. The young wom
an, however, moved away from
the baby,' loaving that space for tho
newcomer. The latter glanced at tho
lonesome baby and then at tho
young woman with a ludicrous ex
pression of surprise, and, rather be
wildered, hesitated to take tho prof
fered seat. When she did take it,
she sat holt upright on the edge of
tho seat, looking first at tho baby
and then at the young woman, who
apparently was serenely • uncon
scious of the suspicious scrutiny.
The very next corner the young
woman signaled the conductor. The
car stopped and she rose. Without
so much as noticing tho baby she
walked toward tho rear platform.
The woman next to tho baby gasp
ed. She stretched out her hand im
pulsively, turned full upon tho baby,
and the passengers held their breath.
Sbo gasped again, leaned forward,
and then, suddenly rising, called out
sharply: “Here, here. Where are
you going? Come hack and get your
baby. What under the sun”—
Then tho passengers broke in with
a shout, the front door opened and
tho young man appeared. The young
woman, her face crimson, hurried
through thef rear door; the excited
female next to tho baby stood in tho
aisle with her eyes snapping and her
mouth open. The young man, pick
ing up the baby, sat down and cud
dled the little one in his arms, bliss
fully' unconscious that next to him
was a woman mad. clear through,
scorching the grinning passengers
with 60 glances that had the pene
trating power of Professor Roent
gen’s rays.—Chicago Record.
The Wliite Mountains In Winter.
The enjoyment of the White
mountains seems to he confined,
with slight exceptions, to three or
four months in the summer and ear
ly autumn, but our White hills are
equally interesting in the winter,
when they are white in fact as well
as in name, and the clay is coming,
let us hope soon, when the beauties
of the mountains will he as fully ap
preciated under the winter solstice
as under the summer sun. If people
could only he made to realize that,
even though the thermometer does
sometimes run far below zero, the
east wind and its penetrating chill
are not present; if “city folks” could
only appreciate how easy it is to
learn to walk on snowsboes, and
what invigorating exercise it is; it
they would stop to consider how
many clearer days there are in win
ter than in summer, they would per
haps ho more willing to forego some
of their numerous social engage
ments and breathe the pure air of
the mountains for a week or two in
January and February.—Boston Ga

France’s Fine Hoads.
Franco is ono of tlie best paved
countries in the ■world. The first
poloon instituted and carried out a
road system which gave Franco tho
roads which are lasting monuments
to tlnf Napoleonic foresight and
shrewdness. These roads, alway s
passable and reaching all the cen
ters of population, are competitors
of the railways.
IT WAS A TEMPTING MARK.
Bat It Involved a Little Trick Not Ap
parent at First Sight.
Our train had pulled in on a sid
ing to wait for a wreck on the road
to bo cleared away, and a number of
men got down from the coaches and
walked up and down the long plat
form attached to the freight shed.
Opposite this shed, on the other side
of the highway, was a dense wood.
Wo had been idling around for a
quarter of an hour when suddenly
somo one discovered a beer bottle
swinging to a limb. Ho out with his
gun and blazed away at it. His ex
ample was followed by every other
man in the crowd who was “heeled. ”
Wo had fired 50 bullets at the bot
tle, and it was still untouched, when
there was a yell from the bushes,
and a native came crawling out on
hands and knees to exclaim:
“What -liev I done, that you all
want to kill mo!”
“Good gracious, man, wore you
in there?” shouted one of tho crowd.
“Right in tbar, stranger, and
soemod to mo tho wall had come
back. I didn’t git hit, but yo’ hov
dun killed my rnowl, I reckon.”
We ran over with him, and sure
enough there was his mule, down on
his hack and kicking his last, with
four or five bullets in him.
“Yo’ dun didn’t mean to, of
co’so,” said the owner, “but this ar’
mewl was all I had. I don’t say he
was wuth what a prime mewl orter
fetch, hut I could hov sold him fur
$50.”
Ho was informed that he would
make up a purse to pay the damages,
and we chipped in and made it SGS.
Ho took the money and disappeared
soon after and had a long start,
when a soconl native appeared and
asked:
“Bin any shutin yore?”
“Yes.”
“Sliute at that ar’ bottle?”
“Yes.”
“Kill a mewl?”
“Yes.”
“Pay for him?”
“Yes, Do you know’ anything
about it?”
“No, not much. I sold tho animal
to Bill Wheezen ’bout an hour ago
fur $lO, and I sorter reckoned he
wanted him to play the old dodgo
with. How much did y T ou raise?”
“Sixty-five dollars.”
“ Waal, that’s purty moderate. He
ginerally strikes ’em for SIOO, and
you got off easy. Reckon I’ll look
him up and see if he can’t work in a
couplo of more this week!”—De

Spoons Free t.o All.
I r.-ad in the Christian Standard that
Miss A,M. Fritz, Station A. St. Louis,
Mo., would give au elegant plated
hook "poOn to any one send.ng her ten
2-cent stamps. I sent for one and found
it so useful that I showed it to my
friends, and made Ml! in two hours,
faking orders for the spoon. The hook
spoon is a household necessity. It can
not slip into the dish or cooking vessel,
being held in the place by the ho k < n
the back. Ihe spoon is something
housekeepers have needed ever since
spoons were first invented. Any one
can g t a sample spoon by sending ten
2-cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a
splendid way to make money around
home.

this circular letter to the good people of my county.
1 do not believe, from the raiding of ti e Republican platform that they
will enact a free coinage law. No more silver coins will bo added to the vol*
nine of our currency, except that which is coined for the purpose of redeem
ing and retiring our [taper moiiev. Now, the question I wish to discuss is,
how can we use what money we have in circulation in Codec county to tho
best advantage,
I'iistly, 1 would advise, s'rict economy, which can be practiced hy trading
at m v store. 1 have the largest and best selected stock of general merchan
dise in Pearson, and am w illing, yea anxious, to accept, all 52 cent silver dol
lars in payment, lor my goods, giving as much and often more than you get
else where for a gold dollar.
1 hose who have the case to pay for their purchases can sec their money
appreciating in value as soon as they enter my store.
1 haven pretty line of Shoes Ilats, Dry Goods. Clothing, Groceries,
Fancy Candies, Cold Drinks, Trunks, Cr. vkervivaro. Glassware, etc., etc.
Remember I have the goods and they arc to lie sold at real bargain
prices. Don’t forget to call and hear the Regina play. Each and every
purchase to the amount of 50 cents entitles you to a ticket and a chance to
get this beautiful, $67.00 music box free. * Respect full'-,
