THE STATE OF DADE NEWS. VOL- X. WHEN SLEEP SHALL COME. When sleep shall come, And lips are dumb Tn hopes and fears that proved me; If dreams may be That day lor me. Be this the dream: You loved me! —Atlanta Constitution. Cinderella’s Reward. By Hannah B. Mackenzie. It was only Elpie. Elpie came Into the big, empty drawing room in her usual noiseless way, and sat down on a footstool before the fire, embracing her knees with her hands. Elpie’s task-mistresses were all out at some social function, and Elpie was quite •alone and idle for once in her poor little fife. What castles, fair and grand, did the big brown eyes see in those glowing embers " Who can say? “The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts,” and, much as„her task-mis tresses' might try' to crush the youth and romance out of Elpie, they could not quite succeed. But presently the big eyes grew smaller, Elpie’s little brown.head began to nod, and she fell sound asleep. What wakened her? Elpie did not. know; but suddenly with a great start and shiver, she started up to find the fire burning very low and the room al most in complete darkness. She sat quite still, her heart throbbing so vio lently she was quite sure some one in the room miist hear it. And there was some ope in the room.' A dark figure was moving in the opposite corner to her. Wild thoughts of burglars and mid night assassins rushed through Elpie’s mind; but she was a brave little crea ture, and she did not scream. The ser vants were down stairs, in the kitchen, and she was the only living being in the house besides. It came into her mind that she must stealthily reach forward to the bell and ring: but, just as she was moving, the figure turned. He advanced swiftly towards her, and, though Elpie tried to speak out brave ly and ask him what he wanted, she could not; her tongue seemed to cleave to the roof of her , mouth. “Hush-! ” said the man, and his voice sounded quite pleasant and friendly. “Don't scream, please. I’m not a bur glar. though my mode of entrance may seem like that of one. The truth is, 1 —l' came through a window down stairs and made my way up here.” Elpie could see him indistinctly. He was a young man, well dressed, and the face looking down at her was frank and friendly. “First, tell me who you are? You can’t he one of my ” "I’m Elpie—that is, I am Elspeth Grey. Mr. Kemp was my mother's cousin, and he took me to live with him when my father died; and since Mr. Kemp died I have stayed with Mrs. Kemp and her daughters and helped them.” “Helped them? How?” ’’Oh, with dresses, and—and other things,” faltered Elpie, frightened by the flerqeness of his tone. “Well, they are all out tonight, aren’t they? and the servants are en joying themselves down stairs, so we needn’t he frighened. I am going to tell you a tremendous secret, little one. But first, tell me, are those people kind to you? Do they treat you as one of themselves? Do they give you plenty of nice food, pretty clothing, amuse ments?” “Julianna —Josephine is—is nice sometimes,” faltered Elpie. She was a loyal little soul, and anxious to bide the faults of her relatives. “And Matilda —Jane, and the rest of this well-principled household?” asked the young man, satirically. “I can’t tell you any more,” cried El- Pie, driven to bay, “till I know who you are.” “That's easily told, little one. T am Mr. Kemp’s nephew, therefore a kind of cousin of yours ” Elpie started and turned pale. “My name is Norman Kemp. My father founded Uncle John's business, and helped him to buy this house on condition that it should be left to me. When my uncle died these infamous women stepped in and took everything; and yet 1 know Uncle John left a will in my favor. I have been away; that is why I have not come forward sooner. But Woods, the lawyer, drew up the will, and I have reason to suspect it is hidden some where in this house. I shall not leave here till 1 have found it. Now, are you going to show me the way to my Uncle's library?” Rlpie Indicated it in fear and trem bling and returned to her seat. In a bout a quarter of an hour Norman Kernp re-entered flushed and excited. I have found it! There’s nothing like determination, little cousin. Con cealed— where do you think? In the flap of the cover of the old family Bible. Of c ourse, Mrs. Kemp will say she knew nothing ot it.” He began to read it, then uttered an exclamation. “And here’s Mention of you, little one. 'And where as > I have finder taken to provide for juy cousin’s child, Elspeth Grey, I do hereby bequeath to the said Elspeth Grey the sum of SIO,OOO, to he kept in trust by my wife until the aforesaid Elspeth shell reach the ago IS.' How old are you, Elpie?” “I was IS in .July,” faltered Elpie. “Then you can claim your rights at once. I shall see after your claims as well as iny own. Now I am going, lit tle cousin, straight to the lawyers. Goodby, Elide.” Elpie’s Heart thrilled strangely as her companion’s black eyes looked into her face. He took her hand, then sud denly raised it to his lips. “Forgive me; l couldn't help it. I am your cousin, you know, and you are a brave and true little girl. Goodby, Elpie; I shall soon see you again,” And this strange burglar was gone. A year later they met again. Nor man Kemp was in full possession of his property, and Elpie, who had the modest income of SGOO from her well invested inheritance, had been spend ing some months abroad with friends. The Kemps, discovered in what had really been a fraud, had disappeared, none knew where. No one but little Elpie, who was a tender hearted little girl, cared where they went. She was no longer the little neglect ed girl he liad first seen; she was more womanly and experienced. But she still blushed, and then paled a little as Norman took her hand. "t have been making changes in my home,” he said, after a little desultory conversation. “Yes, I’ve heard so,” Elpie an swered, ant! somehow her head drooped, and so did her sweet, childish lips. Norman sat looking at her silently. “And have you heard, also.” he asked quietly, at last, “that I wish a mistress for it?” Elpie’s heart beat very low and dul ly- “ Yes, I’ve heard that, too. Miss — Miss Grant of Washington, isn’t it?” Norman started. “Who told you that?” “Oh, I don’t know; every one thinks it.” “Then every one is wrong,” said Nor man; and he suddenly came very close to her and laid nis hand on her little fingers. “Elpie, there’s only one mistrqsit in all the world I want for it; can’t you guess who it is? The little girl I’ve loved since I looked down at her sleep ing, a poor, little, tired Cinderella, in Mrs. Kemp’s magnificent drawing room; The litue girl who trimetb me from the beginning, though appear ances were so terribly against me. El pie, will you consent t.o be a burglar’s wife?” And he must have heard an answer that satisfied him, though no one else could have done so; for the next mo ment Elpie’s. littlcT brown head rest*! on her burglar’s breast, and then and there lie bent and kissed, not her hand this time, but her lips.—American Queen. WONDERFUL DE WET. Tlie Roor I-rader a Master in tlie Art of Su rprislnjr. De Wet has added to his extraordina ry record of surprises anil captures of British troops by the Moduersfontein affair on Jan. 30, in which he took 200 prisoners. When the complete history of this war comes to be written this extraordinary leader, whose name was not much heard at its opening, seems likely to occupy the largest place on the Boer side of it. And he will figure most conspicuously as a master of the art of surprising the enemy and by utterly demoralizing him. taking his men prisoners by wholesale. The brilliant affair at Sunna’s Post, March 31, 1900, where Col. Broadwood's column of 1500 men was caught in the toils in the deep cut oftheKoorn Spruit and 426 of his men captured, was De Wet’s work. At Reddersburg, a few days later, he took 405 British prison ers. At Lindley on May 31 the 13th battalion of the British yeomanry, a picked body, including the Duke of Cambridge’s own was surrounded and bagged —again by De Wet. It was De Wet, too, that gobbled up the great British convoy at Rhenaster on June 4, with its 55 wagon load3 of supplies and it3 guard of ICO men. This he fol lowed with a still more astonishing feat at the. Door Spruit, near Ronde val, on June 6, where he drew 500 Brit ish troops into a position that obliged them to surrender, and took all the stores which had been accumulated there for weeks for Lord Roberts’ army. And again, at Dewetsdorp, on Nov. 26 he bagged 450 prisoners, two guns and a large quantity of supplies. First and last this wonderful com mander, operating with a force that has never been more than a few thou sand of mounted farmers with rifles, has made prisoners of some 4000 Brit ish soldiers, including many of the pick of the regular army. But his recent success at Moddersfontein was without result, like all his taking of prisoners for a long time past. He was obliged to release them, having, no protected base of operations to which he could srnd them for safe keeping.—New York World.

Harrison’s Funeral. Indianapolis, Special. Surrounded by fully 15,000 of Ms fellow citizens, the remains of Benjamin Harrison Sunday afternoon were interred in ilia family lot in Crown Hill Cemetery. Close by the grave were the members of his family, President McKinley and other visitors of distinction and the more intimate friends of General Har rison. Back a distance cf fifty yard3, behind ropes guarded zealously by a large force of police, stood with un covered heads the groat muit'tude who knew him not so well as did they who stood beside the freshly upturned earth, hut who honored him and ad mired him quite as much. It is doubt ful If any public man, at least in this generation, has been borne to his last resting place among so many mani festations of respect. Of possionate grief there was little, outside the mem bers of his family, but the tribute of respect was universal. It came from all alike, from those of his own politi cal faith and from those who differed with him concerning what is best for the nation's good, from men who have been his lifelong friends and from those who knew him merely by sight and to whom he had never spoken. It came from women and children, from white and black, from all conditions and kinds of people.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS, What suffering frequently result** from a mother’s ignorance; or mor* frequently from a mother’s neglect Us properly instruct her daughter ! Tradition says “woman must suf fer,” and young women are so taught.. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a yonnj: woman suffers severely she need* treatment, and her mother should see that she gets it.

Mrs. Pinkham promptly replied w-ith advice, and under date of March, 1899, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham’s YegetsW.e* Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregularity.
