How a Doll Befriended Our Oo-rrntnawt. Cbaxlea Dickens and the Child, f Alfonao'e Tors.

Some Apache Indians bad left the leerTe, and me of onr generals had bad good deal of tronbJe in trying to get them back. One day a little papoose that is, a little Indian girl 3 year old strayed away from her father's wagon. Odo of the soldiers found her and took her to the fort All day she was very quiet, but when night came she sobbed and cried, jnst aa any little white child would, for her mother and her home. The soldiers did not know what to do with her. Tbey could not quiet her. At last the commander in charge remembered that a beautiful doll had been sent from the east to the daughter of cue of the officers. He went to this officer's house and asked to borrow the doll for the little Indian girl in the fort The doll was beautiful herself and beautifully dressed. The little girl loaned it to the officer, and it was carried to the little Indian baby. It was placed in ber arms, and she was made to understand that she could take it to bed with her. Immediately she stopped crying and fell asleep with th9 beautiful doll closely held in her arms. When morning came, she was radiantly happy the moment she opeDed hjr eyes and saw her beautiful little conTanion. She patted it, she rocked it, she talked to it, jn;-t as any little white child would. But now there came a new difficulty. The soldiers hoped, if they kept the little girl, that ber parents would come oi send after her, and tbey conld enter into some negotiations with them to ge them back on the reserve. Several day passed, and at last the soldiers decided that the little papoose must be taken back to her family, as they would not come for her. With ber doll in ber arms she started witt her protectors for the wigwam. The soldiers lei't the child with her n.othe and retuined to the fort. The nxt day the littl papoose's mother appeared at the fort with the doll to return it She was recet ted with the greatest courtesy by the soldiers, treated with great consideration, and made to understand that her little daughter was to keep the doll. The result was that the soldiers' kindness U. the little girl and their courtesy to he? mother created a revulsion of feeling among the wandering Indians and led to negotiations which resulted in the Indians going back to the reserve that is, the land set apart for them by the Unitd States government without any trouble.

A Kindly Act of Dickens. "When I was a girl cf about 10 years ofagg, "says one of the oldest inhabitants of Broadstairs, "during a dreadful winter, I was sent by my parents, wfrn were very poor, to Ratnsgate to buy xn self a pair of strong winter boots. On my way borne the cold was intense, and holding the parcel close to me I found when nearly at my journey's end that the boots bad slipped out of the parcel and that I only held the brown paper in my hands. " With my heart in my mouth I rau

j back by toe way 1 baa come, and mevtt ing a man whom I bad passed some I time previously asked him if he bad ! seen the boots, and he answered very I gruffly. 'No.' I "Continuing my search, I met a mad

in a dogcart, who inquired what was the hurry. I told him of my loss. After telling him all my story he told me to jump up with him, and soon we overtook the man whom I bad met before. My good Samaritan interrogated him very closely, and eventually it turned out that he had picked them up. "Charles Dickens for it was he who had befriended me then said to him. 'If yon had been an honest man, 1 obould have rewarded you, but as you are not a good horsewhipping is what you deserve. ' He then turned and asked me if I had heard of Charles Dickens, to which I answered, 'No.' Then, smiling upon me, be said, 'You will hear of Charles Dickeus one of these days, and you will then be able to tell how be did a kind action once in his life.'

Alfonso and His Toys. Alfonso, at the age of 13, is a war ricr. The recent terrible defeat of Spaiu has been kept from him, except in t general way, and he still believes that Spain is the greatest country in the world on land and sea. Since be has heard so much war talk he has insisted on forming a company of his own in the grounds of the palace. Each day at the close cf his lessons he amuses himself by having his guards form a company, and then be drills them. The time for the drill is placed at one hour; but in the enthusiasm of the little warrior he lengthens it to an hour and a half, until tbe guards begin to show weariness. On a recent occasion, wishing to stop the mimic performance and not daring to interrupt their king's sport, one of the guards fell to the ground in a faint Alfonso sprang to the side of tbe prostrated fellow, while the ether guards brought water. Then the king f booted "Dismissed!" and there was a gfeat scattering in which the sick gurd suddenly recovered. It will nut be difficult to instill war like ideas into the youthful mind cf Alfonso, tor he cares for nothing but war. Philadelphia Press.
