The folks were ail afraid. She lingered
a few days and then she died.......................
I went to order her coffin and her
grave. But the undertaker wadden’t
come near me. H® said I could take a
coflin when be bad left the strep. And
the eexton said he would dig her grave,
but he wadden’t hap her up. None o’
the women would come to prepars her
for her burial; they all had cbildber, you
know bo 1 had all to dee myseP. I
was the only bearer and mourner she
had, and though tne sexton got the mon
ey, 1 did the work. The parson stood on
the step of the church door and read the
•ervice. I was the only one at her
graveside. ... 1 was sitting that
night wi* a weary heart; and then Mar-
gel came. They called her Margaret
Brown. She had come that afternuoa on
a visit to her sister, and she had heard
about my trouble, bhe was angered
that 1 had had to dee women's wark be
cause the women were frightened of the
small-pox and ebe called the inea ‘cow
ards.' She came straight to my boose.
My pour fellow,' she said, *1 have just
coine, and have just heard about you.
Can 1 do anything for you?’
“She stayed till it was dark, and put
everything straight. She disinfected the
house, and sent word to all the neighbors
that she was still alive and that there
wa»> nowt to fear. She gut the cbildher
back. Tommy was just a bairn then. .
. . One day he nad been urying for
bis mother, and Margaret had taken him
on her knee and told him that his moth
er had gone to Heaven. ‘And will ye be
stoppin’ wi’ us?’ asked Tommy;‘will ye
be oor mother
and Tommy's arms
were round her neck.”
“She wag a noble, unselfish woman,”
I said—“one of the finest women God
ever made.”
My heart ached for this lonely, strick
en man.
“God knows,” he saip. “I loved the
mother of iny lads; but Margaret was a
mother to me as wed as a wife.”—

NAVY NEEDS MEN
If a treaty of peace with Spain
should be signed before congress
makes provisions for an increase in
th© enlisted strength of the nrfvy
that important branch of the govern
ment would be badly crippled. With
the increase of the navy there has
been a demand for more men, and at
the beginning of hostilities congress
authorized Secretary Long to enlist
enough n^en to man the vessels, but
their services must be dispensed with
when peace is declared.
April 1,
when preparations for war were be
ing made, the men and apprentice»
numbered 13,096, and under the au
thority allowed in the conduct of the
war this was increased until the maxi
mum strength war r ached August 15,
v.ben 21,122 enlisted men were in the
service. This nbtnbe r has been grad
ually dcerea&vd by discharge of the
remained
naval reserves until
men. Of
on October 15 only
ships and
these 750 are on rec
men, and
4(0 of them are she.r
not available for fen
fur
Secretary Leng i m
the r reductions are n
be crippled, the d* p
unable to reestablish European
other foreign stations, and wil
com ¡»el led to put some of tbe v<
out of commission.
Secretary Long will ask congress
fcr an increase of at least 7,500 men.
which will bring the enlisted strength
of the navy up to 20.009. Every day
hundreds of applications for discharge
are made by men who enlisted for the
war and whose positions in civil life
arc in j- < ; »•
;-«• they do not
resume their duties.
The depart
ment is unable to crant these requests
and this may cause many’ of the men
who fought for their country to lose
their positions in civil life.

An interesting t» st was made at the
Hoboken (N.J.) pier of the North Ger

Hayward for signaling at sea. The lu

and stereopticon. Instead of a screen
