At Del's on Saturday night a seleot co terse of middle aged menwere laughing over an incident that occurred the week before at the home of a mutual friend. A young swell of excellent stook truly, but probably the last of his line, the stook hav- ing exhausted itself in him, called ono afternoon on the daughter of the ruse, with whom he was much smitten. "Is Miss Clara in?" he asked the butler. "Miss Clara is not at home," was the re- ply, and the door was slammed in the youth's face. But Miss Clara happened to be looking out of the window, and, seeing her swain turning away, she ran down stairs, opened the door and invited him to enter, apologizing for the butler. A few days afterward the boy met Miss Clara's father, who is a man of few words, and they generally are rough. "Deuced impertinent man you have at your house," he said. "Actually had tho audacity to slam your door In my face and spoke of your daughter as Miss Clara." "Young man," growled the Crcesus, "I ain't got no butler, and it was me who slammed the door in your Pace, and the next time you come foolin around Clara I'ilAsto. you down the stoop.

He is the employee of tho commune, receiving a fixed salary, his actions controlled by the government, and he himself holding on by the back straps to the oar of state, He is also, as many tourists will have noticed, one of the few sons of the Helvetian republio who on Sundays and weekdays sports a tall silk hat. This he wears with dignity, but it is generally brushed the wrong way. On hie offloial tour he takes it off blandly and in- forms the householder that he is "empow- ered by the state to inspect his flues." In the canton of Grisons recently the post and title of ramonour communal was opened to competition. The salary was £82 a year, and the candidates were nu- merous. But the' strange thing was that they were mostly village schoolmasters from Italy—a painful sign of the times in that unrestful land. "Better," says L'Italia del Popolo, "be a chimney sweep in Switzerland than a schoolmaster in Italy." But L'Italia dol Popolo has re- cently been suppressed.—Pall Mall Ga- zette. He Couldn't Tell.

Where is the thrill of last night's fear? Where is the stain of last night's tear? Where is the tooth that ached last year? Gone where the lost pine go to. For last night's riddle is all made plain, The sunshine laughs at the long past rain. The tooth that ached hath lost its pain— That'll what our troubles grow to We can stand the smart of yesterday; Today's worse ills we can drive away. What was and what is bring no dismays For past and present sorrows, But the burdens that make us groan end sweat, The troubles that make us fume and fret, Are the things that haven't happened yet— The pins that we'll and tomorrow. —Robert Burdett*. TOM THE BRAT. There are some people in thio world who seem predestined by an unreasonable and uncharitable fate to endure all the kicks, cuffs and contumely allotted to human af- faire. That such "luck" ie utterly undo - served the victims themselves are ever ready to admit, no matter how etrenuous- ly interested friends try to argue with them against such confession. Such a buffet of fate was Tom Wilson, whose childhood was passed in the village of Gharville, 0. It was popularly sup- posed that Peg Wilson was his mother. At least Peg was chief castigator and tongue lasher extraordinary to his redheaded high - But Peg would scarcely admit that Tom had been born at all, so contemptuous seemed her regard for him, and if there was such an impulse as motherly affection in Peg's rough nature it must have been regarded by her as the holy of holies, as it was nurtured so tenderly that ib never found expression through her lips. It must have been that Tom tried her sorely, for he was an American boy, with all that such designation implies. He bad won as many marbles at "keeps" as any boy in the village, and had blacked the eyes of every boy between the depot at the end of the village to the brickyard at the other. So, drifting along, sustaining many beatings, fighting his way, Tom reached the age of 12, just as the country was elec- trified with the news of impending war. Tom was like other boys, in that he loved to follow the meanderings of the awkward squad as it drilled upon the village com- mon. In fact, with an old flour barrel and a pair of chair rungs he had become so thoroughly familiar with the beats, rolls, draggs and timings of the cross eyed drum- mer, who on each succeeding Fourth of July had delighted to show how he did it in the Mexican war, and who now drum- med for the new company of home guards, that he, Tom, could march almost as well as any of them. One day in the summed of 1881 Torn was vigorously beating the long roll upon his faithful flour barrel, when Peg alight- ed upon him like a spirit of evil: "Hyar y'ar again, y' redheaded brat, thurnpin that ole bar'11 I've a notion t' cram y' into et an head y' up! Hyarl Gimme them"— "Oh, mam"— But the chair rungs had passed under an old meat ax and were destined to beat "taps" no more forever. "Now git along outo this. Ef I ketch y'—oh, I wish y' could go t' war an never eome back I" Torn heard it and said nothing. Peg went her way, but somhow the clothespins wore harder to hold,, the line more kinky and the soot flakes thicker that day than °per before. Not that there was any reason for it—no, indeed. What had she said that should make a strong woman nervous? Surely it was no harm to wish that freckled imp in Jericho. Besides he couldn't go to war. But what's the use of talking? Still Peg felt "nervous like" for some days, while Tom said very little. The shrill shriek of a fife broke upon the midnight stillness. There was a meas- ured' rolling and perfect timing to the snare drum accompaniment, whioh ac- quainted the natives with the fact that Major Smith, the cross eyed Mexican vet- eran, was not handling the ebony sticks. Never did "The Girl I Left Behind Me" sound with a weirder meaning. Never was there a cheerier drumming. The home' guards had offered their services, had received a call and were marching to the front. "What's the row?" asked Peg as she thrust her nightcapped head from a win- dow and hailed a drowsy neighbor. "Comp'ny goin to the front." "Is that old fool, Major Smith, goin with 'em?" "No; Jake tells me it's the hew drum- mer playin"— "Well, I'm glad my brat Tom hasn't awake or he'd bo Crazy. A drum sets him wild. You just ought to"— But the neighbor knew Peg's garrulous tendency, and the window closed softly, but with some evidence of determination. Charville slept, awoke and ate his break- fast. So did Peg Wilson. But the bacon and potatoes cooled on the stove hearth and the brat did not appear with his healthy appetite. Peg betaine nervous at last and went to his room. Tom was not in sight, but in the center of the floor was the old flour barrel and traced across the head even the limited education of Peg enabled her to decipher the letters in chalk: "Gone to skulp Jeff DavusI" So the brat had gone to war, for there was no one in town who could drum so well as he, not oven Major Smith. Many neighbors had told her so. Poor Pegl She had much difficulty in swallowing feed that day. She marveled that the fool ohickene could strut around contentedly and gulp down corn, a handful at a time. Things Were aWry and the solar eysfsrg seemed to move Wore sluggishly than ostial. Ilut the redheaded brat was gone. The struggle of Stone River was one that tried men's Bettis, even men whose experience in the field had been of the rougher and more dangerous kind. The long roll had sounded for the Third bri- gade, when Colonel Miller of the Seventy- second, noticing the stripling drummer, addressed him in the kindliest manner: "My little man, this is no place for you. All that you can do has been done. Get th the rear and seek a safe hiding Otte," "l3ut 1 belong to"-- "Never o"—"Never mind, you redheaded brat Got to the rear, 1 tel you." The 'drummer moved sullerilf rearward. Already the Seventy-second was forming for the 'oharge—nay, 'Itef6n worse, for the foe -Bas advanoing'tie the death struggle— not al'eg1nient In gray, but a brigade, on the immediate front of Colonel Miller. It was a Wild, fierce, impetuous onslaught. Men fell on either side like wheat before the reaper. Other men filled their Places, and the wild wave of war ebbed, flowed, surged and lashed amid the fury of nbr'tal Darien Went Ilergeant Robinson walk tbi• tlol(re. Thirt. the colors, were up sop* waving grandly and defiantly. t.orporat Jenkins seized the staff and sprang for- ward 10, 20 paces, but no more. Like mockery of human hope the flag fluttered helplessly to the ground. Willing bands grabbed at the splintered staff, but death was quicker than mortal energy, and men went down as rapidly as the attempts were made. The foe was suffering even more, but his numbers were greater in that por- tion of the field. Colonel Miller leaped to the front with drawn sword, and the fierce struggle for the old flag was hand to hand, eye to eye, heart to heart. Around the brave officer surged the Confederates, flushed by the as- surance which a temporary superiority of numbers gives. The colonel was pressed backward, bravely though the color guard fought. A Confederate captain sprang forward, airlling a revolver at Colonel Miller's heart. With a shudder the men fighting about him saw the aot and the falling of the pistol's hammer. But quicker than the captain were an- other hand and eye. Colonel Miller turned suddenly, kis face burned by the powder from the shot, and beheld the stripling drummer, who, disobeying orders, had fol- lowed the very venter of the regiment into the fight Again he turned and beheld the Confederate capfain Cvlldly endeavor- ing to rise from the spot where he had fallen. This shot not only saved the colonel's life, but it created an important diversion. The enemy fought as bravely, but not as enthusiastically, for a daring leader had fallen. Suddenly the tattered flag seemed to spring from the ground and rush right into the Confederate line. Wild was the cheering as the boys followed it, the on- slaught being so vigorous that the foe gave Hack, wavered, retreated, after firing one last volley at the colors. The old flag seemed to reel and flutter in death agony, settling down like a stricken bird, until it lay silent, rent by shot and bathed in blood upon the field of glory. "Who bore that flag?" screamed Colonel Miller. "Who's the color bearer?" None answered him. "What ails you, men? Are you all dumb? Who's the last Color bearer? If he don't got a captain's commission, I'll resign. Who is he? "He has his promotion, colonel," an- swered Sergeant Black, whose powder smoked cheeks already showed suspicious traces and gutters. "His commission's come." Reverently Colonel Miller approached and lifted the tangled folds of the flog. There was no mistaking the freckled face and red hair of the little man laying there, though death—such a death—had traced there a smile of confidence and con- tentment that shamed human conceit. Attached to the belt was the revolver al- ways carried by the little drummer. Not a cartridge in the cylinder, not one in the belt. Every shot had gone straight at the foo, and tho last had saved his colonel's life. They left tho flag about hint, just as it had fallen, simply detaching the staff. They buried hits upon the field. They wrote his epitaph in history simply: "Toni Wilson, Drummer Boy, the Hero of Stone River." The town of (harvillo turned out in solid mass to do boner to its dead.

There are no stronger friends of the Can.dlan Order of Foresters than the3,5oo widows and orphans who have been kept from possible want and poverty by the Insur- ance and Sick Benefit moneys paid by the Society. This is not a charity, the money is fairly earned, and not the least part of the consideration is the self-sacrificing work of the Brethren who attend lodge and conduct tho business of the society with- out fee or price for their services.

Wrn. M. Everts, says the St. Louis Globe -Democrat, once receiv- ed the enormous fee of $250,000 for a legal opinion he expressed in just one word of three letters. A great corporation desired a legal opinion on a matter involving millions of dollars, for upon it practically de- pended that corporation's very exist- tence. They decided to refer the que'- tion, which was wholly one of 1 he cor- rect int elpretation of the law, to Wm. M. Everts, and to he wholly guided by his opinion. Their lawyer stated t heir case to the Senator and au -ked him the important question. Everts' reputa- tion and success are wholly due, not as a cross-examiner or conductor of cases, but simply to his remarkable know- ledge o"fl law, and his power, which seems almost like intuition, cf deter- mining just how I he supreme court will decide any question of law. When the attorney for the great cor- poration put this question, so vitally important to that cor otalion's exist- ence, Everts sat buried in thought for a moment and then answered in a word, "Yes." His hill for that one word was $250,000, and the corporation paid it without a murmur, Ever ts' answer proved to be correct. It is estimated that 22,000 people were admitted to the Winnipeg fair grounds last Thursday afternoon. Children Cry for CSTO R IA.
