IT WAS BABY'S CKADLE.
THE CRADLE WAS EMPTY AND HER
HEART WAS BROKEN SHE COULD
NO LONGER LIVE IN THE HOUSE
THAT BABY HAD LEFT.
Detroit Free l'rcst.
There was a resting spell with the auc
tioneer, and the reporter standing by bis
box looked at him.
"Gone!" inquired the reporter, as the
auctioneer sat down, tired.
"Well, I've been going all the morn
ing and I ought to be," respouded the'
auctioneer.
"You ought to be a funny man, a
great American humorist, or something
of that sort,'" suggested the reporter.
"Josh Billings waa one and he got bis
start at the block," said the- auctioneer,
reflectively, "and some auctioneers are
gyen to that sort of thing yet. I icus
that way myself when I first begau, but
I had an experience that cured uie of
the habit before it bad fixed itself perma
nently." The reporter turned a face of interro'
gation points on the auctioneer aud he
vnt on.
"I was called on once to sell by auc
tion a lot of household furniture belong
ing to a man and his wife who hud ben
married fuur or five years All I knew
about it was that a death homcwhere ne
cessitated their removal from my town
and, as they had no money were com
pelled to sell their effects to get enough
to move on. Well, I was having a pic
nic in my young and foolish way, guying
and banteriog and mukiug brilliant and
witty side marks on the articles as they
came under the hammer so to speak,
though. I don't remember ever having
used a hammer or seen any other auction
eer use one. After I bad disposed of a
lot of stuff a cradle was put up. There
were several young men of my acquaint
ance in the crowd, aud I smiled at them
as I turned the cradle around and began
to rock it, humming a lullably as I did so.
'Empty is the cradle, baby's gone,' I said,
and was going on to say something else
to got a laugh, when I happened to look
down into the face of a woman close to
the platform I was standing on. She
was dressed in faded black, evidently
given her by some woman larger than
she was, and there was a look in her eyes
and a tension ol the lines across her
forehead, a pitiful weakness about her
quivering lips that made me stop. She
stood close, and the crowd was all at her
back, so they had not noticed. She did
not speak, but as I stopped she looked
up Ht me with the tears starting, and lift
ing her bauds in a mute appeal ol re
monstrance no words could describe, she
gave a great sob of agony and turned
away.
" 'I didn't know,' was all I could
stammer in apology. And I didn t know
that it was her baby's cradle I was sell
ing, and because the cradle was empty
her bpx-t was b- jLen and sb eould no
longer live in the house that baby had
left."
The auctioneerwas feeling bis story
visibly.
"No, my boy," he went, "I didn't
know, nor did the crowd, but they all did
pretty soon, and I told them a story that
had no fun in it for any heart there but
it took just the same and I got (150 for
that cradle before I was done with it, and
then gave it back to the poor young mother.1'

THE ROAD COXGUESS.
The committee of arrangements of
theRaleigh Chamber of Commerce will
recommend to the road congress whioh
meets in Raleigh today the following
programme for discussion.
1. The benefit of good and permanent
highways and tho values saved by their
use.
2. Is there any need at this time for
the improvement of our public roads ?
Tbo special reasons therefor.
3. The kind of roadways needed in
various parts of North Carolina, and the
best manner of keeping them in repair.
4. Ways and meaus for building good
permanent public roads and maintaining
them.
The committee hopes that delegates
and others who have given these matters
particular thought will come prepared to
submit papers before the congress under
cither of these heads. It is expected
that the proceedings of the congress will
bo published, including all papers of
value prexented. Everything now points
to a large and interested assenibluge of
those who desire to see our public roads
improved.

A STKAXGE LAW.
HOW SOUTH CAROLINA WILL DISPENSE
LIQUOR TO HER CITIZENS.
Ashcville Citizen.
South Carolina legislation ought not
to astonish anyone these days, but the
remarkable law just signed by Governor
Tiilinan, by which the State becomes
custodian of the whiskey appetites of the
people is certain to attract a great deal
of attention. The central idea in the
bill is that the State buys and dispenses
all intoxicating liquors used in the State.
It does so too, at a profit of 50 per cent,
on whatevei the liquor costs the State.
There is to be a State dispensary which
sounds better than saloon at Columbia
and a head dispenser. The law requires
as might have been expected, that he
shall be a temperate man and v;ive a bond
of 810,000 for the faithful performance
of bis duties. The liquor purchased by
the head saloon keeper (or dispenser) is
put up in half pint bottles (nice business
for the officer of a sovereign State!), "and
when so bottled cannot be unsealed by
the county dispensers without violating
the law." County dispensers are to "be
appointed upon petition .of more than
one third of the freeholders of the ooun
ty, and before assuming the office he
must take an oath fur th4 faithful per
formance of his duty. The State charges
as has been said, fifty per cent, mora,
"which is equally divided between
the county and municipal corporation in
which it is located."
Nor is this all. There are to be
"county boards of control" who appoint
the county dispenser aud fix his salary
Their salary is two dollar per day when
supervising the dealing out of liquor by
tho county dispenser.
At least one dispensary will be estab
lished in every county in which licenses
are now granted. In couutics that are
now dry it will require a petition sijned
by one half the people to put the new
law into operation. In counties and
towns iti which prohibition is now in
force that law is not reppeuled by this
Act. In other wurds, some parts of
the Statu have one liquor law aud others
another. Fifty lliou.-.m I dollars is up
preprinted from tho iitato treasury, which
sum will constitute I lit: capital imcsicil
iu the business until it is increased by the
profits.
When a South Caiuliuiun wishes to
purchase whiskey from u dispi-usarr lit
will be required to prep u o a written cer
tificate, contain in;.! his name, age, rr.si
deuce, kind of liquor wauted and for
what purpose. These will be entered in
a book, which will always be kept open
for inspection by tho public.
There arc ii inuliitude uf other provis
ions in this law. li is not believed that
it euu stand the test of constitutionality,
in which cme Tillman St Co will proba
bly uive to change the constitution.

3IRS. CLEVELAND.
HER CHIEF CHARM IS HER NATURAL
NESS AND UNSELFISHNESS.
New York Herald.
Many people have asked me, "Whai
is the secret of Mrs. Cleveland's univer
sal popularity?" It is not at all a hard
question to answer, and I am sure thai
all who will know her will agree with
me that it is Mrs. Cleveland's utter un
selfishness which gives her a popularity
which no other woman has so fully at
tained I think more completely than
any other woman I have ever met. Mrs
Cleveland possesses those indefinable
qualities and cbaracteristeristics which
go to make the perfect woman. The
maternal is so fully developed in her na
ture that she cannot see a little child
anywhere, no niotter how poor or ragged
it may be, but she will, if possible, stop
and say a kind word to it. There is one
duty Mrs. Cleveland never permits anoth
er to perform, and that is to her the
sweetest pleasure in life rocking ber
baby to sleep every evening. No matter
who may call or what may happen, the
evening hour is devoted to Baby Ruth.
Mrs. Clcvela d's sweetness and tender
ness toward old people is always noticea
ble. Her patience and self possession
are remarkable. I have seen her under
circumstance of tho most tryiug nature,
where most women would have shown
signs of being annoyed where an ill
mannered crowd of people iu their
eagerness to gain a closer view of
her would almost trample on and crush
her aud yet she maintained a calmness
of demeanor that was marvelous,
Mrs. Cleveland is fond of her home,
kind to servants, gentle to all, and yet
with this sweetness of nature she posses
es great firmness and individuality of
character. Her word is law iu ber
household. She hns the courage of ber
convictions aud noihing will induce her
to break the rules she deems nccessaiy to
make for her daily life.
Mrs Cleveland is devotedly attached
to her her husLaud arid always says the
sweetest things about him One evening
I heard some ladies in her presence, who
ivere great Iriends of hers, discussing tht
reswiililaiice of little K ut h to her pareuts.
Ouu of them said Ruth is h lovely baby
and is just like her mother. Mrs. Cleve
land turned mil said: "RiiiIi is u lowly
baby, but is just like her father. She
! o i e. w. look like uie. I am suu
I should not love her half so well if sl.e
did uot limk like her father."
