A MARK FOR CUPID. l*re»l«leiit of a Bachelor*' Club Re cipient of Tinny Tender 'il««lve*., 'Every mail that comes to Waukc gan, 111., now is laden with letters uddressed in feminine cliirography to Xouis J. Yeoman, president of the Waukegan I'achelors' club. The news has gone around the country fur and near that 'Mr. Yeoman bus been chosen —or sentenced some say—to be married during the coming year, and for fear that Waukegan is not large enough to furnish him a field for the choice of a bride the eligible fair ones of nearly every state and territory are calling the attention of Mr. Yeoman to the fact that, like (Rarkiss, they "are willing." If the flood of missives keeps on coming in anything like the volume with which they have started Uncle Sam will have to give the letter carrier on the Yeoman route an assistant. Some of Mr. Yeoman's fair corre spondents content themselves with liinting that there is no necessity on his part of looking far for a life part ner, while others do not confine to themselves hints, but bluntly confess their desire to find a man who will wed them, and are certain they could meet the fancy of an even more fas tidious man than Mr. Yeoman. They want to write to him, they want to meet him, they are willing to come to Waukegan and encounter their fate or they would be glad to have IMr. Yeoman come out their way and drop in for a sociable chat over the matter. One young woman living near Chi cago has written a very interesting letter, and after mentioning the peculiar nature of the I'achelor club's proceedings, hints that she would like to correspond with Mr. Yeoman further. Whether or not these letters will result in a match remains to be seen. It may be mentioned that Mr. Yeo man is a bright, good-looking man of 30, a son of a leading family, a good musician, and the owner of a fast automobile. (He is in the jewelry business with his father, and keeps engagement and wedding rings con stantly on hand. NECRO'S BIG CLAIM. Seek* to Maintain dun Which a New Vurk ituail la Utilizing. Granville I. Woods, a negro, of 323 "West fortieth street, has engaged lawyers to maintain his rights se cured by patents in devices to elec trically control the running of cars nn the Manhattan railway system. 31 is claim affects the General Klectrie Company, whose "train control" de vice is used <m the cars of the elec tric trains on Second and Third ave nues. and the Sprague Klectrie Com pany's "multiplunit" device. Woods' lawyers say his claim to priority of invention is unassailable. 21e is 40 years old and a skilled me chanic. He worked out the problem of the control of motor cars in IS9fi and took the precaution to protect his discovery by a caveat. Recently he received patents for the electrical controller system, which, he says, is that of the General Electric Com pany on the Manhattan cars, and substantially that of the Sprague Electric Company. Woods values his patents at $50,000. He is endavoring to effect a settle ment with the General Klectrie and the Sprague companies. If he fails he will institute proceedings for in fringement.

I,lose cmssings Ci^-i —7 such sis you sec "' anywhere in well settled parts of New England, witli I gates like long, white arras, which { twing up and down to warn the public | of danger. The railroad was a suburb j an route, a short, busy, bustling line j that sent out 40 trains a day over a j circuit of 10 miles. It ran by a dozen | little stations, each representing a 1 pretty suburb with homes as happy as I can be found in the country. The sub i urb of which we speak bore the beau ! tiful name of Sunshine. The arms of tiie gates were raised high in the air, pointing steadily, straight to the skies. No train was J expected for 13 minutes. The gate ten« ' der had gone into the gate house and sat down alone; he was not allowed to entertain company in the gate house, ! and he looked enviously across the track at some men who were hanging about the grocery: he would have liked i to hear the story they were laughing i at, but a gate tender cannot lie frivo [ lous. These men were leaning against the wall—two customers and the depot \ cab driver. One of the customers was i hugging nn impressive order of salt pork and sugar and kerosene to his ; breast. The other was affectionately ! cherishing a paper package of butter, j One man was lounging on the steps. \ lie sprawled at full length. He had his hat over his eyes for the May sun was hot. lie was smoking. He usual ! ly was. It could not be said that he : was usually doing anything else, un less. perhaps, lie \v< re occupied iii getting drunk, lie was a marked man j in Sunshine —an idle fellow in a busy ! place, a scapegrace in a decorous coni ! munity. "What did those plaguy railroad commissioners do about grade cross ings?" One of Ihe customers (the butter customer) put.this question in a lieav ; ilv injured tone. "They recommended "em," replied the sugar and salt pork customer, soot hingly. "They'd better!" snarled the butter 1 customer. "We've only killed II folks come nvM July.'" urged the cab driver, cheerfully. "Fourteen," said the man on the step. He did not reiuovt- his pipe from his mouth, and his tone was muftied ac ' cordingly. "\\ ell," said the first customer, "Tim knows. He picked up the pieces of j most of'em. My butter's busted," add ed the speaker, gloomily. "It's runnin' up my sleeve. I give 25 cents a pound for it, too!" Tim laughed. He was always ready to laugh. He had the merry, cordial nature common to some children and | many drunkards, and the curly hair : that often goes u ith it. Nobody s Tim wa * one of the ruins of the great civil war; the remains of what had once been a brave and splen did fellow. He was one of the men who had done fine deeds in war, that flashed out the best of his character, and then i had been beaten in peace b\ the worst. I There was, indeed, a story about a wound at Octtysburg, and Tim used to say that something waff Wrong with j his heart when he tried to work, lint few believed it and no one cared for I Tim's aches and ails. I 1 here s the colonel," said the cab j driver, suddenly, "comin* down the j b-iuu'*';vd with his auto-go-but-don't. j I can t say when I've seen the colonel I come home so early. Say, Tim, there's I your colonel. Do set up, can't ve?" But Nobody's Tim was already on I his feet. He had seen the colonel be ! fore any one else had. Who knew i what Nobody's Tim did not see under j shelter <■ 112 that old brown felt hat? lim stood silently. He followed the I automobile with his sad and sunken eyes. Ihe colonel's wife was riding with him—a young wife. He had not been married many years. I lie automobile dashed up and rushed by. Tim stood at attention. He straightened his shoulders. Drink and poverty and misery and sickness and advancing age had never quite taken j the military look out . 112 Tim's figure, lie jammed the -old brown felt hat into position on his head. All that | was soldierly in the loafer awakened at sight of his colonel. A# the carriage puffed by. Nobody's Tim saluted re spect fully. Ihe colonel, glancing under his wife's lace sunshade, saluted the drunkard gravely in return. After ward he was glad to remember that lie had done this. Nobody's Tim flushed with joy at the recognition, but he did not speak. If any one had noticed, there was a quiver in the man's lips. As he stood smoking he bcfii? to hum below his | breath: i "Mint eyes hr,ve wtr, the glory of the com ii.K of the l.crd!" A little girl tried to stand still while • the nurse \vt -■ getting her white arms j into pink s .eves. This was a dilfi | cult procedure—no one could under stand how iitticult, unless one were I a baby gir< of three, and in a hurry | togo out >o walk. She was all pink i and whit/, this dainty little lady— | white d' -ss, rose ribbons, little pink | broadcVj.th coal, and a hat of silk mull I with r <sebuds. Her long stockings , were >A d»rk. dull green, with tiny bootf to match. Her father said she | look-d like a rose wit hlwo st ems. Her name was Rosamond as a matter of j course. Kverybocly knew how her fa i ther felt üboyt that baby—the cliiid CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY of his middle life and early age- lii» only one. He came to bid her good-by that day before he went out on the automobile with her mother. He fold ed the little girl's arms about his neck and laid his dark cheek to hers, and kissed her more softly than her mot her did, and not so many times but each kiss seemed to count for more, for some reason. "Rose shall ride with papa next time," he said, to comfort her. "And Jane will be careful—very careful, Jane," added the colonel, with his mil itary manner. "Kemember all that we have told you about the lake, and the cars, and the crossings—" "And big dogs," interrupted the child's mother. "And the electric cars," added the father. "And cows." suggested the mother. "And it you should meet a fire en gine—" finished the father. Theydid not meet a fire engine. Jane held the child's hand tight as they passed the lake. They made the cross ings without any trouble. There were no cows. And the only big dog t hey met was a particular friend and neighbor of Rose's, who offered to escort her and take care of her. Hut Jane told him it was against her orders; so he turned away and stayed at home. In the square—so fate had willed it they met the only danger against which tlie nurse had not been warned. This was the grocer's boy. He was Jane's very particular grocer boy, and she stopped to speak to him. "Mine (Vi ? have K en the Rlory of the com ing of the Lord." Nobody's Tim was still singing in his wasted tenor, muffled and interrupted by the pipe, which had not left his lips, NOBODY'S TIM SALUTED RESPECTFULLY. except for :i nximect tvhtn the colonel I'li^-ed. l lnt fully CO seconds before any <it lier man saw any t liintr, Tim liacl seen every thing. It wiis then that the pipe came out of his mouth. It covered the side walk with splinters. '•(iod A'mighty!" groaned Tim."The colonel's baby!" The long. lean arms of the gates had dropped, and stretched themselves mightily across the street. A grown person could not pass their strong barricade unless by deliberately stoop ing under, and so evading it; but to the baby girl there was no barricade at all. The arms of the jrate escaped the topmost rosebud on he.r rose-wliite, rose-pink hat by several inches. And the child—something scornful of the nurse, something disdainful of the grocer's boy—had continued her walk in a pretty, solitary dignity which comes at times on little maids likelier. When Tim's pipe came out of his mouth the colonel's Kose had stepped under the arms of the railway gate. And the train— Afterward, the gate tender swore that the train was 40 fe<-t away. But what are -10 feet? And the baby girl, suddenly seeing the monster, bewild ered by the roar and smoke and steam, confused by the horror that she could not understand, put up her lips and began to cry, and stood still upon the track. It was then that a man leaped the gate and dashed into the throat of death with a cry whose joyousness rings to this day in the ears of every soul who heard it. As he hurled him self upon the child, his old, faded felt liiit fell off. and the May sunlight brought out the gold in the brown of his curly hair. Tie flung the baby girl high into the air. A dozen arms were outstretched to catch her. She came down against somebody's neck without a bruise. Nobody's Tim—how, will never be known—whether he caught his foot, or whether there was anything in that story about his heart and the wound at Gettysburg—however it happened, No body's Tim fell. He did not rise. They gathered his poor body tender ly. remembering, when they did so, how he had himself performed this pit if ul service for so many other poor bodies on the railroad which waited for the commissioners to rote about grade crossings—and somebody picked NORTHLAND, yield for thffm today thy )\yfl7V Southland, pluck where they hide the battle line^jjsjrc morc 'he cannon's'roar Is heard as once at rise of sun; WFa >'° ' on ® er 8 " m '^ e bayonets where Georgia's rivers run; /The silent camps of Glory stretch from surging sea to sea, The grass is growing long and green where sleep the young and f C|3j -jSif/ And Peacejdoth spread her wings ofy white above earti sacred grave",' up tho old brown felt hat, and Mime bodyelseasked: "What shall v ? do with him?" Fnr Nobody'* Tim, you remember, had neither wife nor child, neither "own folks" nor home. Then, out of the silent crowd which had thickened in the square, sudden voices rose: "I'll take him to my house." "And I—" "112 will—" "Xo! We will— n "Xo, let us—" And the voices strove with ore nn other, till it seemed as if all Sunshine were competing- to be "own folks" to Tim. For.in the flashing of a Tioble deed. Nobody's Tim had become Everybody's Tim. and the whole town pressed to do him honor. Now. at this moment, tho rilver trail of a distant steam carriage could be seen melting along the smooth road. "Hold on!" said the cab driver. "Thi.t's the colonel. He's got some thing- to say about this." Memorial day dawned clear, hot and shining. as it almost always is. No one in Sunshine went to the baseball games or cared for the bicycle races on the sacred national festival of that, year; but all Sunshine followed tlie pathetic remnant of the Grand Army when the gray-haired group formed to escort their homeless, dead comrade from the colonel's home. No one remembered on that morning that Tim used to drink; that he did not work; that he had neither place nor name, nor character among his neighbors. Everyone remembered rather how kind lie was.and how gen erous of impulse, what good company 1 j he was, and what a pleasant smile he had-—this hero who had ii\ <ii among • | them in disguise, unregarded and neg - ; lected for so long. • ' As they bore him down the colonel's - ! granite steps and out into the street, tie Grand Army veterans sang in their • i broken voices: ".Mine e.veo have seen the glory of the I coming of the Lord." • j A chorus of trained singers had start i led the battle hymn, as the colonel r asked; but when the veterans took - I it up every other voice was hushed— i I nobody else could sing—and the vet • | eransi finished the hymn alone. I Then the beating, breaking heart < 112 . ! the military music throbbed in and I claimed its own. 1 j Nobody's Tim was buried ns if he ■ had been the general. Wotted out in ! flowers, he seemed to have no grave. The chaplain read the service as if the Christian faith wished she could have I owned the hero. The flag folded him I as if it were proud of him. But the colonel, with bared head, stood a little | apart.. Lifting liis eyes, as lif he perceived what no oth ]er did, the commanding offi cer of the old regiment saluted the j unseen spirit of the dead private, as a j soldier salutes his superior. Then the | drum of the veterans sounded taps for j Tim. and three volleys rang across | his grave. j Now, after taps, an unexpected thing I occurred. Some one led up tiie little I girl, all in white, and her arms were I heaped with pink roses. These she put dtCicately, one by one, upon the pyre : of blossoms under which Everybody's Tim was laid away. Kosikmond kissed | the roses before she put them down— | it was her own idea. No one spoke or j stirred while she did this, and after ward no one added a flower. | Then the child (this, too, was her own idea) quite naturally knelt down j upon the flowers and shut her eyes and; j said aloud and distinctly, so that all i the people heard her: j "Now T lay nif down to p!e<p. j I pway ve Lord my soul to kt» p. If T should die before I wake up—Amen." "Well." said f»ne of the Grand Army men. with the back of his hand at his j eyes. "I guess she's wuth it." But the colonel, her father, caught her to his heart and bid his face upon her soft hair. He did not speak. The veterans saluted and turned away.— Youth's Companion.
