says of little May Jennings : •, The intoe
child is ding remarkably well, consider-
ing that her skull was terribly fractured,
and the wo•.snd, but for prompt medical
treatment, would have resulted fatally.
An unpublished incident in connection
with little May is this : She was one of
the first to be removed from the wreck.
Almost the first words that broke from
her lips as they lifted her helpless form
away were : " My inmate is in there,

story is nee, not of Cnal devotitu, but of
childish heroism.

he was as thio as s rake, and in &Kiser-
auce strongly reminded you of the poor
fellow wile had tossed up for his dinner
and lost it. Now the continual opsit,
air exercise, and the ad tentage. of
camping out, iehaline the fresh air both
by day and nicht, had made him a new
man, his bronzed and happy -hooking

that of a well-known host of one of our

and necessities, and kindly informed us
that we were welcome to all the flour,

for present and even fur future use, sod
that no remuneration would be accepted.
Such, liberality was so unexpected and

That night the old clan.met was once

had thus rescued us, Woudlsde struck
out with all his might and main, the old
popular air of "Yankee Doodle Dandy."
in which we all must heartily joined.
Now commenced preparations for
another move, accepting first from our
liberal dente all the provisions we
thought we should re vire t . put us

the singular feature of stamps of trees

wondered if • race of lung legged giant
