HE AMUSED THE BABY.

While IU Mamma Went Shopping u St raager lVrforined Curious Service. A man stood loafmg in front of a crowded Btoro whero it was bargain day, when two women stopped before him. Thoy wero already so laden with bundles that it seemed impossible that thoy could carry any more. Ono woin,on was wheeling a baby carriago. "Thero's that checked gingham," the man heard her say; "it's the prettiest I'vo seen yet for baby's tftmmcr ili-esses." "Well, lot's go in." "How in I tako tho carriago through that crowd? It's no uso trying to get anything if you've got to drag a baby around with you." Tho man loafing at tho door took Iiis hands out of Iiis pocket. "Guess I might as well tend baby ns do anything else," ho drawled. "Leavo tho baby with me, and I'll toko caro of it whilo you shop." Tho women both looked at him curiously, then tho mother of tho baby oyed tho gingham in tho window and that helped her to accept his offer. "You can leavo your bundles in tho cab with tho kid," paid the man, as ho took tho tongue of tho perambulator mid began to wheel tho baby back and forth. But neither of tho women relinquished a single bundle. Indeed, tho mother of tho youngster at onco took every packago out of tho little carriago and added it to tho mass in her arms. Tho man smiled grimly ns ho hoard her say to her friend : "He won't 1)0 likely to steal tho baby, but I won't tako my chances with tho dry goods, would you?" "No, indeed." Thoy wero in tho storo u longtime. When they nt last camo out it was with n rush, as if they feared to find their most vnluablo possession gone. But no, it was laughing and smiling into tho foco of its malo nurse, who was making idl kinds of comic gestures to amuso it. "Thank you over so much," said tho mother of tho baby, fumbling in her pockotbook, "it's worth a quarter" "No vor mind that," said tho man. "Did you got tho gingham?" Wliilo tho two stared open mouthed at his presumption a carriago drovo up, somo ladies called to him, and touching his hat to tho two astonished shoppers Colonel disappeared into his own equipage, having just dono ono of tho odd things ho is famous for doing and been of service at tho samo time. Detroit Free Press. An Extraordinary Legal Document. Ono of tho most remarkablo legal papers on file in tho archives of tho world is ono now in tho National museum of Paris, labeled "Sentenco on a hog, executed by justico in the copyhold of Clarmont-Avin and strangled upon a gibbet at that place." It is scaled with red wax, kept under a glass, bears dato of Juno 14, 1194, and reads as follows: "Wo, tho jury, in detestation and horror of this crime, and in order to mako an example and to satisfy justice, havo declared, judged, sentenced, pronounced and appointed that the said hog, now detained in tho abbey ns a prisoner, shall, by tho executioner, bo hung and strangled on u gibbet, near tho gallows which now stands within tho jurisdiction of tho monk, being near tho copyhold of Avin. In witness of which wo havo sealed this present with our seals." Following tho above nro tho signatures of tho jurors and tho prefect of tho Department do la Aisne. Philadelphia Press. An Abientinlndud Ilalhrny Guurd. Manifestations of ubscntmindedness on tho part of tho trainmen on tho elovated roads nro not infrequent Sometimes they are very funny, as in tho case of a Ninth avenue conductor on a recent rainy day. This particular conductor is usually jolly and level headed, but tho vicious and chilling wetness of tho woathor had evidently worn his patienco down to r very thin veneering. Ho shouted tho names of tho stations in n gruff and surly manner, and his scowls wero as "dark as tho raincloud. For tho timo being ho was apparently oblivious to everything except tho tempestuous weather. Just as tho train pulled up nt tho Houston street station ho opened tho car door and called out mechanically, "It's raining!" Ho repeated tho cry in tho next car. and apiearod to l)o unconpcious that ho had said anything out of tho ordinary routine. Now York Times. Oild MkIiU In nn Kitting 1'lncc.

Tho Confederate White Uoum. "Tho Confederato "Whito House" lias been doing duty as a public school for many years. It would bo pronounced queer lookiug any whero savo in Richmond. Tho front on tho street is like that of miy ordinary squaro mansion, with the hall in tho

center and with a flat roof. But juissmg directly through tho hall to what should bo tho rear ono comes out upon a wido gallery, having a lofty roof level with tho floor of tho third story, supported fcy massive pillars. From tho gallery yu look out upon a great yard, shut off from tho sido street by a high brick wall. Tho mansion faces in. It is nnpos ingwhen seen from tho yard. Tho ground floor is a letter arrangement than that of tho other "Whito Houso" ut Washington. Reception rooms ojhjii ink each other and into tho central hall, which alono is largo enough for any ordinary gathering, whilo tho hall and tho surrounding rooms afford a completo circuit for a moving throng. Different apartments aro still known as "tho cabinet room," "tho reception parlor,' "tho state dining room," and so on, as in tho years of 1SG1-5. But all of them, to intents and purposes, uro still schoolrooms. Tho walls aro blackboards on which is set tho copy of "Daro to Do Right," and various problems in fractions go ing to prove that tho part cannot bo greater than tho wholo aro exhibited. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. An Instuuce of Sublime llravcry. Corporal Tannersays that whilo ho and many others lay maimed and bleeding on tho field after tho second Bull Run fight a mortally wounded comnulo lay near them listening to tho piteous cries for water. Tho day was terribly hot, and the unfortunate victims of war had been excised to tho rays of tho sun for ' 'irn. The comrade, though near - i from a ghastly shell wound whic i I . 1 torn away a part of his lKdy, could not longer withstand the heartrending cries for water. Raising himself up as well as ho could, ho saw an npplo treo soino distanco away from him. "Boys," ho said in n feeblo voice, "nono of you can walk, neither con I, but I'll crawl to that npplo treo and bring you somo apples." After what seemed days of absenco tho wounded comrado returned with apples, which ho gavo to his helpless soldier friends. "God alono know," said Corporal Tanner, "what a charity that act was to tho dying and maimed men, whoso parched throats wero like direful torments. Tho comrado had dragged himself to tho treo and back, losing his own lifebloodin tho act. Ho gavo his last applo to u dying comrade, regardless of his own self. "Suddenly ono poor fellow said to him, 'Comrado, tako a bite of my apple.' "Thero was no response tho comrado was dead." Washington Nows. Somo of It Left Yet. Tho actual amount of gold and silver that is used in a largo plating establishment is very great, and tho most strict economy is practiced in order that thero shall bo no waste. Tho extrcnio thinness of tho gold on cheap jewelry has long been a subject for jest by humorists. A party of Boston jewelers was being shown through ono of tho great plating factories by tho proprietor, a man well known as a wag. As tho visitors stood looking into ono of tho vats whero different articles wero being plated with gold by means of a chemical process, a gentleman asked: "Now, Undo John, just how much gold do you uso hero in your business?" Tho old muu looked up and answered, with a twinkloin hisoyo: "Well, boys, I'll tell you. When I started in 15 years ago, I put a $10 goldpieco into tho vat, and I guess thoro's somo left of H yet I" Boston Journal. A Shrewd Sneak Thief. A man entered a Now York house ono day whilo tho woman of tho houso was out taking somo dinner to her husband. Ho appropriated all tho valuables in tho plnco, cut open a feathor bed, put tho booty into tho mattress and carried it off. On tho way down stairs tho thief mot tho woman on her way back. ' 'Docs Mrs. Smith livo hero?" ho asked. "No," sho replied. "Well," said tho thief, "I'vo carried this mattress up and down tho stops of nearly ovcry houso on tho block, and I'm getting tired of it. I didn't know thero wero so fow Smiths in Now York." Tho woman laughed and 10 minutes later found that tho man had run away with all of tho iKirtublo articles of any valuo in tho Hat Now York Sun.

Ail Irishman who had committed tho theft of an 8-day clock and sev end watches was much annoyed at night by tho clock's persistent "tick, tick, tick," which his distorted un agination mauo nun believo was "Pat, Pat, it was you that stolo the watches." Pat threatened that ho would break its back unless it desisted, but the clock continued its steady "tick, tick, tick." In a rago ho leaped out of bed, seized tho clock and hurled it out of tho window. Tho clock in its descent struck a policeman, who in his ngony yelled out: "Oh, you'vo broko my back!"
