s a mass of People. Cheers
anil sobs, smiles and tears, were
mingled and merged Into the scenes of
the last minute. One of Chicago's vol
unteer regiments was leaving for the
front. A blaze of soldiery, a fever of
patriotism, and ten thousand people
had transformed the station into a tur
bulent sea with waves of unrestrained
emotion. Between the Inspiring strains
of patriotic airs and the rattling of
drums, shouts of encoura cement weie

of the multitude.
"Hemember the Maine!" thundered a
man whose appreciation for the eternal
iituess of things is more to be admired
than his originality.
Instantly a thousand voices took up
the nncoiith refrain,' which ended final
ly in an uproar.
"Kill every bloody Spaniard you see!"
added a young man, whose appearance
gave no token of the vicious injunction.
An old fellow with a copper button
in the lapel of his coat hobbled through
the throng, flourishing his cane iu the
air with little consideration for the
comfort of h:s countrymen.
The clang of the bell gave notice that
little time remained for the final fare
wells. Wives, mothers and sweethearts
were clinging about the necks of the de
parting soldiers, aud, amid the tumult,
great tears were falling from the eyes
of the parting friends.
A witness of all these demonstra
tions, and alone, with no one to cheer
him or to say good-by, was a silent
young soldier, who stood lost In reverie,
lie looked scarce more than a boy,
with a proud ml.Itary bearing aud a
handsome face. While his comrades
were biddli their last adieus, he stood
as If transfixed to the platform. Inn
suddenly he loo'ied about auJ ex
claimed: "Won't somebody kiss me good-by?"
Before he could escape a pair of arms
were thrown around his neck from be
hind, and as he turned he caught a
warm kiss squarely on the lips, and a
soft voice whispered: "
ispered: "He a good boy
and come home again!"
In another Instant the savior had
gone, but as the train moved out a
dainty white handkerchief was waved
in the crowd and for him.
The vision the sweet face, the burn
ing of the kiss ou his lips, and the ten
der admonition to "be a gqod boy and
come home again" followed Eugene
Brockway to Springfield. It broke camp
with him when they were ordered
South and embarked with him when
on the transports which carried the
regiment to Cuba. Iu his dreams the
girl was sure to present herself, and
when the fever took possession of his
reason the boys heard him say:
"He a good boy and come home
Rgnln!"
After a year's struggle with war and
the elements of the tropical Island
Itroikway was returned to Chicago,
haggard and weak from the privations
and hardships of the Cuban campaign.
One thought remained uppermost In his
mind. Ills deeds of daring aud bravery

praises sounded In the home papers,
ind Ills new commission as lieutenant

Iu a few moments he was undergoing
a counterfeited enjoyment of greetings,
and took his place beside a young lady
whom he could see but dimly. She had
been presented to him as Miss Hurd-

ed to the war, but It was with a notice
able effort that 'Gene was induced tt
participate In the discussion.
"And you have been with the Illi

near her heart.

growled the soldier.

him but a short time," she continued,
with a concealed smile, "but I had be

the thought of his being so far from
home and the object of Spanish treach
ery has given me an interest in the war
which otherwise I would never have
felt."
The tender and sincere manner of
Miss Hurdmau In referring to her
friend appealed rather strangely to
young Brockway, and he brightened
somewhat as he quizzed his clever
charmer as to her soldier boy.
"Was he a private, Miss Hurdman?"
"Well yes, I believe so," she drolled
feeling her way out of rather a danger
ous corner of the conversation, "but
was It really true that you had nothing
to eat but bad beef, which made you
sickV" she added, seeking, with some
adroitness, to generalize a bit.
'Our provisions were served a la
carte," joked Brockway, "but not with
the pomp, perhaps, of our Chicago Del
monicos. But your friend, has he re
turned to the States?'"
"No that is, not that he has told me.

that I am getting much alarmed. And
had you no cream for your coffee, and
did you often sleep out of doors all
night, Mr. Brockway, by the banks of
rivers where crocodiles and things were
crawling and swimming around?" ram
bled Miss Hurdman, with embarrassed
desperation.
"The heat and swamps of Cuba were
our deadliest euemles, Miss Hurdman,
but what was the name of your friend
and of what company was he a mem

of him "
"Are you folks still talking war?" ex

sick and out of his head In the army
hospital the only thing he ever said
was, "Be u gojd boy aud come home

"Well, any fellow's mother would tell
him that," laughed Brockway.
The thrill which swept through one
of the hearts iu the carriage at that mo

alone. "Could It be possible that this
was the fellow," she thought; "and still
these were the very word I used," and

THEIR OWN POLE.
tt Furdtshed More Fun than If It Had
Been Stolen.
Five wicked students were In a bar
ber's shop getting their hair cut and
parted In the middle. All this took to
quite late in the night, and then one of
them said:
Barber, what will you take for your
sign pole?"
Ten dollars," replied the artist,
smilingly.
"Here is your money," said the stu
dent, who was a member of the win
ning football team that season, and so
had only to write home at any time
for a check. "Sign this," and he drew
up a bill of sale. "Boys, help me
home with my load." And the little
cavalcade went down the dimly-lighted
street with the singular burden up
on their shoulders.
HI, there!" yelled a policeman,
whom they had tried to pass slyly, i
"what are you doing with that bar
ber's pole?"
"That Is our business," grimly re
plied the football player.
"It Is also mine," rejoined the police
man. "Come with me to tue station,
and bring that pole with you."
'We cannot afford to carry It away
from Its proper destination," said one
of the students.
"Never mind," growled the police
man. "I'll get It there," and he sum
moned help, and conducted the whole
procession to the police station.
"Boys," said the sergeant, after they
had ranged themselves In front of
him, "I'm Bony, but this bit of fun will
cost you $5 apiece."
'Terhaps before we are fined, you
would like to look at this strip of pa
per?" Inquired the ball kicker.
"Why," exclaimed the sergeant,
reading the bill of sale, "here Is an
awkward mistake. This is your pole."
"We had thought so," meekly replied
the student.
"Young men," said the sergeant,
"you are discharged. Officer, go back
to your beat."
"Will you kindly instruct him to take
the pole where he got It?" Inquired the
student.
"Certainly," replied the sergeant,
"that is your right," and the striped
stick of timber was tugged back again
by the disgusted myrmidon of the law.
The students again shouldered their
tapering load and started down anoth
er street. They soon met another po
liceman. This time they did not at
tempt any evasion.
"What're ye doln' with that beam o'
wood?" shouted the officer.
"Our business," sang the boys.
"Your business seems to be the thief
business," said the officer. "Come
with me to the station."
"We will not carry the pole," said
the students; "but If you want to,
we'll swear not to run for it."
The officer believed them after they
had repeated It In Latin, and being a
large, strong man from the Tlpperary
regions, just about managed It He
was soon before the same sergeant
mentioned above.
"It's. their pole," shouted the ser
geant, as soon as he saw them. "Take
It back where you got It."
"Why didn't you tell me?" grumbled
the officer, between breaths, on the
way back.
"You said we were thieves, and how
could you believe thieves on a ques
tion of property?" replied the students.
And they started once more for home.
Again and again they were escorted
to headquarters, until they began to
feel quite well acquainted with the
sergeant.
The sixth or seventh policeman they
met was a smallish man, and they
took particular pains with him. They
yelled, whistled, sang "Good-night,
Ladles," and marched four times
around him In solemn procession. He
simply thanked them for the entertain
ment. "Why don't you arrest us?" one of
them cried.
"There's been a general alarm sent
all over the city," replied the peace
preserver, "to the effect that if we met
five min wld a pole, don't mollst' em,
as they're harmless lunatics on de way
to the asylum to start a barber's shop
there." Weekly Telegraph.
Most Curious Charity.
One of the most curious charities In
Surrey has just been distributed In the
village of Wotton. In 1718 a resident
named William Glanvllle died, leaving
a will which directed that he should
be burled In the churchyard "six yards
underground," and that 40 shillings
apiece should be paid annually to five
poor boys of the parish, who, on the
anniversary of his death, with their
hands laid on his gravestone, should re
peat by heart the Lord's prayer, the
creed and the commandments, read
First Corinthians, 15, and write two
verses of the chapter. Lately the num
ber of boys participating In the charity
has been Increased from five to seven.
This year sixteen boys offered to com
pete, but only eleven attended. The
first seven were successful and the un
successful boys were each presented
with half a crown, while the five non
competitors received 2 shilling each.

How Polly Knew.
A "befo'-de-war" matron was teach
ing one of the little darkies on her
plantation how to spell. The primer
she used was a pictorial one, and over
euoli word was its accompanying pict
ure, and Polly glibly spelled "o-x, ox,"
and "b-o-x, box," etc. . But the teach
er thought she was making too rapid
progress, so she put her hand over the
picture and said: "Polly, what doe9
o-x spell?" "Ox," answered Polly,
nimbly. "How do you know that it
spells ox, Polly?" "Seed his tail,"
replied the apt Polly. Argonaut.

"Well," said the small minded man,
"I have found out another woman's

"How did you do it?" asked the

"But how did you find out her age?"
"She figured it up by subtracting
five from 82 before she thought." In
