I ktiuw that I had held a mortal hand In mine, and that living human 1Im had touched me, hut who would have blighted tho nun"a pfrtty faith by persistent con tradict Intif I'lvo years had passed. Tho war was over. I was in my native land again. I had almost forgotten my period of suffer ing In tlio hospltul, hut I had not forgot ten that kiss. I still wore the ring tis.n my linger, and I still hool, absurdly enough, to know 0110 day to whom It had hcloiip'd. I was constant to a memory vague as it was beautiful. Alsuit this limn my brother Henry mar ried and brought homo his wife, a lovely girl, who won our hearts at otinv Sho had but one living relative, a sister who had lsvn cdmvttisl abroad, and who was com ing to visit her very anon. Sho was said to Ih beautiful, and llotiry apoko of her often. "It would I a lucky thing for you If you could win her heart," ha said. "Sho Is almost an angel." 1 smiled and shook my head. "Not that that would he so easily dona," ho said. "Laura Is a stmngo girl. She refuses every offer. Sho Is two and twenty now and has hud several, but Kmmn tolls mo that the will never marry until she gets over a queer fancy of hers. You'll kvp It to yourself if I tell you, Fenll nandr" I promised. "Tho girls aro orphans," sold Henry, "and Laura was eduoated at a convent In . lly Homo stratigo neglect slut re mained there during tho whole of this last terrible war. Tho convent was safe enough, and shn had no fonr, hut It was outrageous. Well, to cut a long story short, there was a hospital at , and It was filled, of course, with wounded sol dlers. Tho girl, Just 17 then, used at tlinostogowlththituuns, and, protected by their uostumc, to tho hosplbd. One, a beautiful young oQlcer who had logt his sight, attracted her attention. She imd to watch him from alar and think or lilin when sho left him until she fell In love with him. At last, one day, wheti he had been suffering very much and hail, as sho thought, fallen uslnep, her feelings over- canio her. The sisters wore busy elwi whero, and slie crept up to him and klssinl him. Ha was not asleep, It Rectus. Ho caught her hand, and sho, In pulling It away, lost a ring from her finger." A week after this I went to meet tho evening train from Iiondon, coinniWdoncd to escort Laura Ioe to our old homa When I first spoko to hor, sho looked at mo In a singular way and her color came aud went rapidly. As for mc, It seemed that I had known her all my llfo. How I told her the story I do not know, but tell it I did on luy way home. And the ring that I had snatched from her hand adorned It again a N'trothal ring when we croswd tho threshold of homo together. Unco a year or two ago my wife and I visited tho continent, and, stopping at went to Its hospital. A sister who was quite unknown to us showed us through It.

A boy ha'l kicked a lit tie girl on the play ground at re cess. hen rchool was dismissed the boy was called forward for pun ishment, but refused to go and when force was used ho drew it knife upon tho teacher. The hoy was conoucreii however, anil was given 11 thrashing which drew blood. The father of the boy bad the teacher arrested for assault and batterv. Tho presiding judge said that the hoy's act was ono of insuhordiun ion and that he had behind then and there that ho was at the h ad of tho school. In the opinion of tho judge tho whip pin g was not too torero. The jury agreed w ith him, and costs of tho prosecution were placed oil tho boy's father. Tho public is not as fatnilar with tho privileges about postal matters as ni'ght bo supposed. .Many times peoplo would like to recall a leter after it had been mailed. This can bo done then if tho letter has reached the postollico of its des tination. At every postoflice there aro what nro called "withdrawal blanks." On application they will he furnished, and when a deposit is niadu to recover thoexpensos, the postmaster will Ulegraph to the postmaster at tho letter's destina tion, asking lhat it bo promptly re turned. The applicant first signs an agreement to protect lhe post master from any and all claims mad against him for such return, ml inih'ii.iiily b in for any loss sustained liV r'ison of BU"h action.

An infant child was found lu tlie reeeplaelv of a w atur clokvt on on of j the upper lloors. The child was wrapped in cloths, and was badly I deintliposvd. j How this probabln Illegitimate nll' i spring of the human rase cams lo lie I in such a lowly place can only be coii Ijectured. Circumstances would In- uicaie mat it lv t tut result ot a prcma turebirth or that it is the work of an Infanticide, or child murderer. Iu either easw it must have buon the re lult of Illegitimate proceedings. Just how loiik( ills child remained In thu placo w here it was found is another matter ol conjecturw. It certainly could not have been placed there before the hotel closed or elso it would havu been immediately discovered. Tiia building has been closud for several mouths and Ii now being pht d iu onUr for reopening by Mr Ziegler of tlie Chicago restaurant. The discovery savor- of a crime by onuoiie, mid a deed too liorible to bo thought of. A Portland iiowsUiy Mcccessfully worked kind hearted piissersl.y for the Illicit of a nap cnine.

Ho would then resume bis dialog and the sympathetic passerby would give him the lo cents. The operation would bo repeated and as soou a! the street urchin made a sutllc lent '-ralsa" he would hunt thu nearest crap game ami deposit tlie money to thu credit of the game. I'slly Ouio.l.

It is now time California papers wero looking up a new sensation, as the fake air-ship story has been worn out. Tho enactment of a registration law for Oregon would have much to do with putting to flight the hobo vote which is so objectionable both in municipal and general elections, William J Bryan is receiring letters at tho rato of 2500 per day since tho election, and bus four clerks writting replies and is still behind with his correspondence. Major Mclvinley nover had so many friends as ho now possesses. But just wait until ho begins to fill ono thousand offices from an army of applicants one hundred thous and strong. Tho island of Cuba is somewhat larger than tho stato of Indiana, and has 2,000,000 population. From tho standpoint of productive capacity it is said to bo tho richest spot for its size on tho globe. So fir, not ono fourth of its produc tive area has boon put to uso, Tho editor of ono of our ex changes encourages his delinquent subscribers to uso less tobacco and not drink so much whiskey until they pay up what they owo him, and adds that they should looso no time in iloing so, as the hog cholera is liable to strike that section any time. A (leorgia woman went quietly to work ami secured a divorco from hur husband for no other reason than to enable him to marry anoth er woman. There eeatainly is not another woman in tho world like her, and she could make a fortune by exhibiting hoi self in a dime museum. It is supposed that meteors be gin to burn when they are within 12o miles of tho earth, and that combustion is completed and that they disappear at from do to ."30 miles above tho earih. When we bi o a falling star, therefore, we may consider that we havo watched it through a (light of about 100 miles before it final I v burns out and dis appears from view. Indiana congressmen aro getting down to a svsteni that virtually makes postmasters elective officers. I hey have notified all applicants for postoflice that bef ro any ono is recommended, a vote must bo ta ken in every town and precinct, and the one receiving tho highest number of votes shall have their endorsement. This would not be a hud system to adopt with referonce to all federal rppointtnents. A pleasing account of a govern ment entirely under feminine rulo comes from tho little Indian ocean island of the Maldive and I.acca divo groups. The woman is the head both of the government and of the home, and when she mar ries, her husband takes her name and takes over 1 1 bis earnings throughout his married life.
