How I .canued the sea of faces to see if I uould reoogniae my mother, for 1 kuew she would be there all smiles and tears to welcome her boy home. Bhe was not among those who had pressed forward eager to see their loved ones. Btiil my heart did not misgive me. I was disappointed, but thought all along the line of march that her dear face would lie seen somewhere among the crowds that lined the streets. I saw one of my old neighbors, who gave me greeting, and I called out, ‘How is mother? Where is she'.*’ Bhe didu’t answer and we passed on. When we disbanded and every boy was looking for his relatives or being fairly sur rounded with friends, I started out to find mother. Our little home was de serted, still the awful truth did not dawu on me. I thought she had sim ply moved some place else. Going into a former neighbor’s I learned the truth —mother bad been dead about two mouths, aud her furniture aud every thing bad been sold to pay funeral ex penses. It aeons my death had been repotted in some of the papers, but it was some other soldier who bore the same uame, aud my mother gave up completely and commenced failing rap idly. ‘It was simply a broken heart,’ the doctor said. Bhehad nocomplaint that be could see, and she had no de sire to live. I had saved my money and bad pictured the good use I would make of it. Bhe said she would never see me agalu when I departed, but I laughed al her fears, thiuklng she was ouly fearful that I would be killed. I will never forgive myself for having left her and I curse the day that I went away from her side.” Twice during the day 1 heard young men make the same remark as they placed their offer ing of flowers ou a grave, “I curse the day I left my mother.” THE TRUE FISHERMAN.

Philadelphia Record. ROMAN HOT BATHS. : The parliamentary language of New York's board of aidermen ta puzzling the people of “the tight little islaud." the early home of the English tongue. “What Is a 'pie faced mut?”’ asks the Ixmdon Chronicle. “That Is wbat an aiderman tailed the chairman at a council meeting. He also called the presiding officer a gazabo.' Thia la proliably a corruption of 'gazeebo,' a word defined in Buiart as 'a summer house commanding an extensive pros pect.’ The definition does not matter. The word in appearance and sound is so nobly objurgatory that it was Ism nd sooner or later to be used as an insult ing epithet. "But 'mut?* We have searched In vain for an origin, a meaning, for that The etymologies of transatlantic slang often elude us." The more sapient Globe rushes In with an explanation. " ‘Mut’ Is Identical with *mlt,' and *mit’ Is America nene for a corruptionist who accepts a 'dip in the palm.’ but whose cage mess for more 'boodle' is so great that he wears a large mitten.” We have heard of “big mlt games,” but the learning of the Ixmdon paper leads It astray when it derives "mut” from “tnit” A conference of the best availa ble authorities on American slang says that “mut” is brief for “mutton heud.” —New York Tribune. Ths tale of bow Mrs. Cornelius Van derbilt outwitted a kodak flend who bad snapped her picture serves to strengthen Mrs. Vanderbilt's reputation for supreme tact, says the New York Press. The tragic scorching of Miss 1 Evelyn Harden's ankle attracted all of ’ her friends as inquirers, and it was a gala occasion for an Indefatigable cam era man to take bis stand outside of the Madison square mansiou and snap each woman of fashion as she left her carriage. They had all run the gantlet some shielding their faces and others laugh ing Into the lens, and the sun was at its highest when Mrs. Vanderbilt ar rived. Bhe reached the bouse without the "kodaker” getting in his deadly work, but when she returned to the street he caught her as she came down the stoop. To make matters worse the footm in had difficulty opening the carriage door, and the enthusiastic photographer snapped again and again. “Do something to that man," cried Mrs. Vanderbilt angrily to her foot man. He explained that a quarrel would make matters worse. "Then order a policeman to arrest him." commanded the woman of fash ion. The footman believed that snapping the celebrities was not included In the penal code. “Then," said she, with a new idea, "tell him Mrs. Vanderbilt would like to speak to him.” The footman delivered the message, and the camera man, with bared bead, approached the carriage. “Will you be so good,” said Mrs. Van derbilt sweetly, “as to give me that film? I want It very much.” The man said there were other ex- liosures on the film that he wanted. “Well,” replied the woman, “I want those pictures you took of me. You are not going to refuse me.” Her manner was most captivating. “I'll tell you wbat I'll do,” said the man. “Here's my word of honor that I'll never use those pictures of you in any way.” “Very good,” resiionded Mrs. Vander bilt. with relief, “and I shall trust you.”
