halted at a iqxjt in the woods to rest and
to replenish our ammunition. around
The fighting was going on all
us, and stray bullets were coming alone,
past ns every now and then. I don't be¬

Was after that engagement.- It was ab¬
solutely necessary for me to take a rest,
'•nd perceiving a hnge tree near by I
concluded to plant myself along side of
it. So I leaned against it with my back
to the enemy's line, stretched out my
feet and was having a splendid rest when
12-pound shot came bounding along
and struck the tree plumb ou the oppo¬
site side from me and at a point just be¬
hind my head.
Well’ sir. I didn't know what struck
me- The shock was tremendous. Great
Jerusalem! But didn't I mn from under
that tree, looking’ sideways up and ex¬
pecting momentarily to see the whole

TV- Haacrur of I'afH.lv Servant*.
I 5 ca ntrmingly with the English
eoh'.iST Mri sufficiently well with the
geutry. but the upper servants strike
terror to my seal. There ia something
awe inspiring to me abowt an English
butler, particularly one ta imposing
livery. When I call npon Early de Wolfe,
I say to myself impressively as I go up
the steps: “You are as good as a butler,
ns well bom and well bred as a butler,
even more intelligent than a butler
Now, simply because he has an unap¬
proachable hautiness of demeanor, which
you can respectfully admire, but can
pever hope to imitate, do not cower be
■jieath the polar light of his eye; assert
yourself; bo a woman; bo an American
citizen!” All in vain.
The moment the door opens I tsk f«r
Lady de Wolfe in so timid a tone that I
know Parker thinks mo tho parlor maid’s
sister, who has rung the visitors’ bell by
mistake. If my lady is within, I follow
Parker to the drawing room, my knees
shaking under me at the prospect of
committing some solecism in his sight.
Lady de Wolfe’s hnsband has been no
ble only four months, and Parker of
course knowB it and perhaps affects
even greater hauteur to divert the atten¬
tion of the vulgar commoner from the
newness of the title.—Kato D. Wiggin
in Atlantic Monthly.
The Arrange,Rent of leaves.
Th« general arrangement of tho leaves
on limbs and stalks of trees and plants
secures between each sufficient space to
prevent one leaf from interfering with
another. And not only are leaves so ar¬
ranged as to (jnst independently of each
other, but in a general way they have
taken upon tln mselves the forms best
adapted to secure the maximum of sun¬
light as it is show c red upon them in dif¬
ferent latitudes. At the equator, where
tho sun’B rays are vertical, we find largo
fiat leaves, liko those of the banana,
plantain and the various species of the
cactus.
Farther north, where sunlight strikes
at an angle, small leaves and pine
“needles” aro found. Then, again, note
tho peculiarity of the Australian gum
tree—instead of exposing their broad
faces to the sun tho edges only are so
turned. Were it otherwise the mm
svquld rob them of ull their moisture, it
being a well known fact that tho gum
tree growB in tho driest region on earth.

Nature Against Him.
"You have been walking about this
great city for six weeks and haven’t
found work'/" Baid the kind woman feel¬
ingly.
“ Yes’m,” replied the seedy man in the
kitchen, his mouth dosing over a wedge
©f pie, “That’s right."
“You aro willing to work, I dare say?”
“Willin, mum? I’d work my laigs off
©t l could git a chance. Jest a leetle
more cream in tho cawfy, Thanky.”
“And you would do any kind of hon¬
orable work, I presume?”
“Yes’m, anything that’s in my line.
I b’lieve in every man stickin to his pro¬
fession.”
“May I ask what your profession i»?”
“I’m a inventor, mum,”
“An inventor?"
"Yes’m,” said the seedy man, reach¬
ing for a doughnut, “Inventor of a new
process for curin sunstrokes.”—Chicago
Tribune.
No More Cobblers.
There is no sense in calling a shoe¬
maker of modern times n cobbler. The
nearest thing to a cobbler today Is the
custom made man who confines bis at¬
tention exclusively to that one branch.
Machinery for making shoes in great
quantities and in sections is of compara¬
tively recent date, and prior to its adop¬
tion the shoemaker, or cobbler, did tho
entire business, from taking the measure
to collecting the money. In small towns
and villages he literally performed the
entire process himself, having insufficient
trade to justify the employment of an
assistant, and in larger cities he superin¬
tended the work from beginning to end
himself. The labor saving wonders of
the times have practically swept this
loan out of the field, and there are very
few members of the trade who are really
cobblers.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
On the Sabbath.
In Scotland once a drunken man met a
clergyman chasing liia runaway dog on
Sunday. "Tammaa,” said the breathless
clergyman. “I am sorry to see you in this
condition. But whistle for my dog. He
is running away.” Tamnias regarded the
speaker with gravity and said: ‘ ‘Whustle?
I may drink whisky, but I'll no whustle
for ony dog on the Lord'* day,”—Phila¬ 1
