A youog man and his wife were pre paring to attend a Christmas parly at the house of a friend, some miles distant. "Henry, my dear husband, don't drink loo much ut ihe pariy to-duj; you will promise mo won't you ?" said she put ttng her band upon his brow, and raising her eyes to his face with a pleading smile. "No, Millie, I will not and you may trust ine," and she wrapped her infant in a soft blanket and llicy descended. The horses were soon prancing over tho turf, and a pleasant conversation beguiled the way. "Now, don't you firget your promise," whispered the young wife as they passed up the steps. Poor thing; she was the wife of a man who loved to look upon the wine when it was red. The parly passed pleasantly. The lime for de parture drew near; tho wife descended from (he upper chamber to join her hus baud; a patig shot through her beating heart as she met him. for he was intoxi cated; ho had broken his (sromise. Silent ly they had rode homeward, save when the drunken man bruke into snatches of a song or unmeaning laughter. Rut the wife rode on, her babe pressed close to her grieved breast, "(rive mo the baby Millie; I can't trust you with him," he said, as they approached a dark and swollen stream. After some hesitation, she tcsigocd her first-born her darling babe, closely wrapped in a great blanket to his arm. Over the dark waters the noble steeds safely bore (hern, and when they reached the bank the mother asked for the child. With much care and tenderness he placed the bundle in her arms; but when she clasped it to he r bosom no babe was there. It had slipped from the bundle and the drunken father knew it not. A wild shriek from the mother aroused him and ho turned around just in time to see the little rosy face rise one moment above the dark water, then sink forever, and that by his own intemperance. The anguish of the molhcr and remorse of the father are better imagined than described. A MISSING WOICD. A North Carolina preacher, in one ul our western couuties, whose memory sometimes fails him at the critical point, was recently prcachiug a sermon before a Sunday sell jol convention. His subject w.is "The Resurrection." Tho thought toward which he was driving with all physical earnestuess was that the doctrine of the resurrection was the very--essence of the Gospel. The Word "essence" la had carefully calculated to use iu a tre mendous epitome of his whole thought. Rising on tiptoe he shouted: "In a nutshell, my brethren, the doctrine of the resurrection istho very is the very " Alas I his chosen word "essence" was gone. He paused a second and then str ide lorward, and shouted in thunder tones: "The doctrine of (lie resurrection is ihe very is the very " The re calcitrant was again nowhere in sight. Pausing once more, and mustering his physical weapons for a final desperate endeavor he lowered his voice, but with int, use carucstuess, as il angry with poor absent "essense," he again let drive ; "Brethren, the thought I have tried to impress upon you is that the doctrine ol the resurrection is the very is the very soup of the Gospel !"

At the battle of Santiago, when the army moved forward in the charge you probably have read the account of it in the newspapers how tho man who played the E-Flat horn in the band left his place in the band and rushed forward with the soldiers in tho attacking column. Now, you know the band's place is in th rear. They have no gun or sword, they cannot fight, and their position in the rear of the column, out of danger. But this man, unmindful of everything, broke away, and went far up the hill with the charge, carrying his horn over his shoul der, slung with a strap, For a lime he went along unobserved, until one of the officers happened to sec him. And lie said to him : "What aro you doing heie? You can't do anything; you cau't fight; you have not any gun or sword. This is no place for you. Get down be hind that rock. The soldier fell back for a minute, half dazed, and feeling the pull of the strap on his should'T, replied, "I can't do any thing, I can't fight." And so he got down behind that rock. Hut almost in stantly he raised his horn and began to play that grand old air, "The Star-Spangled Banner." They heard him down in the valley and immediately tho band took it up, and amidst those inspiriug strains the army charged to victory. I would rather heard that soldier play ing "The Star-Spangled Banner" behind the rocks at Santiago, than to hear the finest and most perfect music that Theo dore Thomas ever produced, which had no soul it, though much of Thomas' music has. Colonel R. W. Conwell. WAS siii: WOICTII IT? A South Side young business man had paid suit for several months to one of the fair daughters of Hydo Park. At last, one evening in the latter part of April, he summoned up courage en ough to say, "I love you !" The object of bis affection looked at him thoughtfully. "You probably think you luve me,' she said, slowly. "To the best of your belief you love, but that does not prove to me that you love nic It does not tell me whether lhat affection will staLd against " ' Oh, my darling I" exclaimed the man in an impassioned tone, "tell uie how I can prove to you that I love you. I'll walk through fire or biimstone, or swim the Chicago river for you. Let ine prove my love." "I'll let you prove your love !" ex claimed the woman suddenly, as she snatched a red shawl from about her neck for the furnuoe firo had quit work for the season. "Take this shawl; wear it about your shoulders during all yoi r waking hours for (he next six months. Do this, and at the end of six months but not before you can como back and tako mc for your wife. The young man never flinched. He wore that gaudy thing everywhere. He went to the theatre in it. Ho kept it on in his office. He sweated under its folds at a full dress ball.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Tie Southern Girl. BY EDWARD BOK. SHE IS HORN (IK A KOtl. AS RICH AND COLORFUL IN ROMANCE HISTORY AS IS THE MTERATL'RK OK SPAIN. Ill concluding an editorial inspired by a Southern girl's regret that she cannot go to college, Edward Ilok, in the April Ladies' Home Journal, has this to say of Ihe girls of ihe Southland : "The South ern girl is surrounded by a life far truer and mole eouducivu lo self-developmi nt than girls living in oilier scctioi.s, be cause social conditions arc moru normal, Her life is healthier because it is saner, and her mind, by reason of it, is clearer and more constantly at rest. The rush of life of the North and West is net so stimulating as many Southern girls sup pose. Ou the contrary, it wears women out as often as it develops thetu. In uo pint of our country do women look younger nt maturity than iu the South. To the Southern girl, too, Nature blooms in a piofusioii as she d ies uo where else. The natural history which the Northern girl must get out of hooks the Southern girl gets direct from Nature's own hand. She is boru ol'a soil as rich and colorful iu romantic history as is Ihe literature of Spain. This she receives as a natuial heritage. Her parents are, and her an cestors were, among the best types of American chivalry and American woman hood. She hears but one language spoken, and that is her own. If there is the introduction of another tongue it is French, and with these two she can (ravel the world over and never be at a disad vantage. The religion which she learns from her mother is the highest and best because it is untainted with modern 'revelations.' The truest friend and safest teacher iu 'highest living' a girl can have is her mother, and in the South mothers have a way of finding time for their daughters and being companions to them. The Southern father is fond of his children, and proves it by his pres ence at the domestic hearth after his day's business is over." XKVK1C CI.OSi: A HOTIX KKOISTKIC. There is an old superstition that to close a hotel register portends bad luck to the house ami that in nine times out often sjuiotliiug will happen. It is not known where the superstitiou comes from but no worse luck can befall a house than to have some fool come along aud close the register. "Why," said a Wash ington hotel clerk, "I won't bo able to sleep for niue days, which is tho length of time that we will be under the spell. If we can get along for nine days with out burning the house down or blowing up the steam boiler, or having a case of smallpox, wo will be reasonably safe again. "There isn't a hotel clerk in the coun try that will allow that book to be shut not, at least, until it is filled and ready tobcfi'ed away with other old registers, merely to seive as a record of our busi uesi. But when in active use a hotel man would as soon thiuk of droppiug a match in a case of oil as to close tho book. "They say that the night before the Balwin burned in 'Frisco some smarty played a trick on (he night clerk and closed the book, an 1 1 know for a fact that it was only three days before the Gumry, in Denver, blew up that the register was found closed. Tho clerk who was ou when the register was closed escaped, but he quit the hotel business." Washington Star. ADO.HN DOX'TS.

AN EXCITING TIME FOR WHICH THERE WAS REALLY NO 0CCA8ION. As a passenger train on the Hannibal ; was pulling out a tall countryman, in cumbered with four bundles, a scythe snath, an ax handle, a bag of bananas aud a small boy, came out of the depot and began to take his bearings. Up and down the (racks his gazi wandered, up and down the long lines of coaches drawn up under the sheds, and at last, as the rear coach was passing him, ho caught sight of the moving train. "Come on, Freddie 1 Thar she goes!" he yelled and began to transfer some of his bel iiigings from his right hand to his left as he ran. Freddie made an amazing record for one whose legs weie so short, and they were soon besido the steps on the rear end of the last couch. There was a man standing on the plat form. "Hay, stop 'or, stop 'er I'' cried Fred die's pa. "Put en lhat ar wind brake, mister ! Pull that ar ropo up over your bead and make 'cr stop I" But the mm ouly reached down and emght Freddie, who was leaping and swinging and dragging by turns in his vain effoits to make his short legs stretch far enough to get his feet on tho lower step. Pa held on to him with one hand and the man on tho platform finally suc ceeded in drawing him up. Pa slung the banana bag after him. It slid on a;ius tho platform and went overboard on the other side. Pa made a leap for the steps, dropped a bundle and stooped to pick it up. The recovery of the bun dle took but a second, but the train was getting well under way and was a tail's length ahead when he began to chase agiio. Quo wild spurt, with bis coat tails standing out behind him, a reckless leip. and pa, too, was aboard, but a buudle containing an uudershirt had been lost in the tussle. An employee of the depot picked the bundle up, and a section man who hap pened by appropriated the bananas to his own refreshment. The crowd that had breathlessly awaited the result of the raco melted away, and the depot attend ants, who had been preparing to pick pa up with shovels, went about their duties. Half an hour later a very angry man ouuie pranoing down the depot platform. He was holding a small boy byono hand, and the ends of an ax handle and scythe snath protruded from under his arm.
