mornung was ward and bright,
but shortly after noon there came
ark indefinable ohmage. •The sun

once in a while illuminated by
flashes of summer lightning which
as they came nearer, threw heavy
flanks of sulphurous -looking
clouds into bold relief. Stilllthere

AN .EXPERIENCE OF' MISS
5 ALCOTT.
r=
Louise eI Alcott, the popular
authoress, elated the following
incident of her hospital experience
during the American civil war:
The two beds were side by side
in the long ward, and on them lay
two men, each with a gun -shot
wound through the right arm be-
low the elbow. They were about
the same age, each had -a wife and
children at home, and both hoped
to save these useful right arms;
for on ,their strength and skill
their families depended.
Clarke was a farmer, a pleasant,
happy tempered follow, bound to
look on the bright side of things,
and to get well as soon as possible,
though his wound was the worst
of the two. Morse had been a
blacksmith, and was• proud cf
his strength, but said little, and
seemed -to have s;oinething on his
mind, being moody as well as to
..iturn.
The two were soon friendly, for
neighbors in a hospital can hardly
help being so, but Clarke did: most
7f the talking, and Morse seemed
ontonted to listen to his lively
gossip without making any return.
Therefore I _knew very little about
him, , and when the surgeon one
day asked mo if Morse had boon a
drinking man, I could not answer.
' Why do you want to know,
Doctor ?'
He is not doing so well as
Clarke, though his wound is a
safer sort, and ought to bo nearly
well by this time. It is in a bad
way, and I'm afraid ho will have
to lose that arm of his,' answered
the surgeon, shaking his head
over a particularly bad smelling
dose he was preparing for some
unhappy patient. .a
' I hope not; I thought he was
doing well, and that Clarke, who
suffers much more, was the one
who might have to lose an arm,' I
said, rolling bandages for both as
I talked.
Not hel his blood is as healthy
as a child's;; ho will be all right in
a mmlth; you may tell him so.'
I am very glad, for he is al.
ways talking about the hrppy
time when be can go home to his
wife and babies. Morse says
fdthiP, bi b is ae ;siaxious`.to get
well, thioh, though, when.

wish. you,'d hod out whether
lbs has been a drinker. I can't
make barn talk, and it is import-
ant to know, for if it is so ,the
soon the arm is off the better,'
and the doctor: corked his bottle
with a decisive rap.
When I saw the glen again my
feeling toward them was quite
changed, for now anxiety about
Clarke was all gone, and I pitied
Morse so much I could not bear to
ask that hard question. I soon
learned the fact, however•,without
asking, and in this way :
As I went through my ward
with a, glass of wine -whey for
another patient, I stopped to wet
Morse's arm, for I saw a look of
pain on his face and knew the
comfort of cold water. He did
not speak, and I went to refill the
basin, leaving the glass on the
little table near his bed. When I
came back it was empty.
'Why, Morse, that wasn't for
you! Stimulants of all kinds are
bad for you just now,' thinking
how impatient Martin would be
at having to wait for a second
supply.
' I know it—I couldn't help tak-
ing it—the smell was too much
for me,' muttered'.Mol'se, looking
red and ashamed,though the fierce,
hungry expression of his eye be-
trayed that he longed for more.
' I am afraid you' like that sort
of thing too much• for 'your own
good,' I ventured to say.
It -has been the ruin of me; put,
1 fight against if, indeed 1 do he;
said so earnestly that I believed
it, and longed to prepare him for
what was to come, feeling that I.
could tell him more gently than
the surgeon, who had a somewhat
startling way of .saying to a pa-
tient, ' Now, then, my man, I shall
want that leg of'yours in about
an hour.'
' Perhaps the pain you have
suffered here may help you in
your fight. Times like --these do
much to strengthen good resolu-
tions; if one is sincere,' I said,
pleased at having won him to talk
of himself.
I know it, and I've made many
since I've been lying here. But
you see I couldn't resist even a
small temptation like that. 1
wish I'd .a bullet through both my
arms before.l did it!' he answered
under his breath, with a remorse-
ful look at the empty glass.
'Perhaps the loss of ono arm
will 'help you to resist,' I began,
finding it hard to soften the hard
truth after all.
'You don't mean that?' and he
looked Yip at me, with It scared face;
for the loss of a right arm was
more dreaded than the loss of any
other limb.
I am afraid 1 do. Dr Otman
thinks it may be necessary, for it
is not doing well.'
But it is not so laud as'Clarke's.
They've saved his arm, why can't
they mine ?' he whispered, glanc-
ing at the great., brawny hand
below the bandages, the hand that
would never swing a sledge ham -
mor again.
'Ah, that's the pity of it, Morse.
They saved his, though worse
wounded than yours, because ho
was a temperate man. You must
lose yours because you have poi-
soned your blood with bad liquor,
and now you must suffer for it.'
DESTITUTION IN DAKOTA.
'Minneapolis, April 11.--Ald.
Smith 1 eturned this morning from
Sully County, D. T., where he
went to investigate the extent 'of
damages by the recent prairie
fires. "It was a terrible sight,"
he said. "I did not suppose before
I left hero that the fires were so
bad. There are at least one
hundred families in Sully County
who lost most of the wheat they
had. Some of them saved a few
things, but in most of the cases
nothing was saved. I saw where
400 sheep bad been burned in a
heap. The citizens of that county
are about the best class I ever
saw on the frontier. Seed wheat
is what they want particularly,
,now that the spring season is at
hand. They also want lumber to
build houses; in fact, everything
that can be given in the shape of
relief ought to bo turned in at
once. I met ono poor man who
had lost everything but his tin
pail and a razor, and ho was not
in the least disturbed. He said
he was all right, as be could take
caro of'himself, but that the peo-
ple with families wei'o the ones
to bo pitied."
Twenty-five people were killed
by an explosion in a• New South
Wales mine Wednesday. .
Lewis Patterson, a wealthy
farmer living near Centerville,
Pa., was robbed Tuesday night by
throe masked men. They drag-
ged him barefooted to the barn,
threatened to hang him it ,he re-
fused to tell whore ho kept his
gold, burned his fent and twee in
the fire; searched the house, and
after securing.$43 and Patterson's
gold watch departed.
Thomas Berge), a farmer of
Union township, near Findlay,
Ohio, was awakened on Tuesday
morning by piteous cries for help
and sounds of a straggle coning
from the front porch. He found
his dog, a huge mastiff, tearing at
the throat of a tramp who had
sought the porch as a place to
sleep. The farmer, it is said, 'as-
sisted in killing the tramp, who
was buried in a secluded field.

Pullman Vestibuled Train
It is universally conceded that, not-
withstanding the advent of old and new
lines. into the field of competition for
passenger traffic between Chicago, Mil-
waukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
maintains its pre-eminent position as
the leading line, and' carries the greater
portion of the business between these
points. It is not bard to account for
this, when we consider that it was the
first in the field, and gained its popular-
ity by long yeara of first-olass service.
Itthas kept' up to the times by adopting
all modern improvements in equipment
and methods, the latest being oomplete
PullmanVestibuledtrains running daily
between Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and its route being
along the banks of the Mississippi,
through the finestfarming country, the
most populous and prosperous towns
and villages, it offers to its patrons the
very best service their mcney can buy.
Its dining cars are celebrated through-
out the length and breadth of the land
as being the finest in the world. Its
sleeping cars are the best,belonging to
the Pullman company, being marvels pf
elegance, ooinfort and luxury; its day
coaches are the best made, and its em-
ployees, by long -continued seF'vice in
their respective capacities, are experts,
courteous and accommodating to all.
It is not at all strange, therefore, that
an intelligent and discriminating tra-
velling public should almost exclusively
patronize this great railway, with its
separate through lines running between
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Min-
neapoli4; Chicago, Council Bluffs and
Omaha; Chicago, Kansas City, and St.
