A BABY'S LOOK. Oft Y sit and try to conjura Up the fancies, The old memories that he Must be heir to when he rests Lis World-wise glances, As he often does, on me, Are there dim old recollections Of another, Of a fairer place than earth That come trooping in upon him-— Of the mother Who forsook him at his birth? Who shall fathom the deep meaning Of the look That is often in his eves? Is his mind surcharged with wisdom From some book That he studied in the skies? Does he have his dim old memories Of a clime That is fair and far away, As I've had them, as you've had rhem In vour time-- As we still do—who shall say? 8S. E.

His landlady kept an Intermit tent watch on him out of the corner of Ber eve. “It's about time I give 'Iim a she thought. “Time's getting on.

Mr. Jebbings choked again, partly from emotion and partly owing to another misdirected fish bone, Mrs. Potter sighed a sigh of fond re-| miniscence, i “1 declare, If you don't remind me | for all the world of Higson.

But for all that, he lived to die in his bed.” As soon as supper was over Joshua slipped out and sought solace and se. curity at the Ham and Chicken. Joe was there, and to him Mr. Jebbings after the usual interchange of opin. fons on the weather, the crops and the pres of pigs—put In a poser. “S'posin’ a wid—that Is a wom least ways a female makes up her mind to marry a man apd ha won't have her, what then?” “As a gen'ral rule,” responded the oracle, after seeking Inspiration at the bottom of his blue and white earthien- ware pint mug, “as a gen'ral rule she marries him all the same.” Mr. Jebbings rasped his chin despon- dently with the back of his hand. “Ain't there no way of choking her off 7" he asked, desperately, “Depends whether she's single or a widder,” replied Joe with an expres. sion of deep meaning. there is ae 1 she to quite considered Frow ne and opnortunity card inches Dy four rest.” said “y Providenr¢e, ftnus ploy with Joshua Potter “zinger!” she con ard 1 rever ki 1 . se311l 1 could with what you sperrit.” was the wean pi best merino fow or never was a “wheelwrigl to was ready oo Ag 804 savory smell sod in ag he opened the ’ of v fel ¥. i) il him, while ther lettuce wns unassnoming Ti | ns nresentiment amd 80 was jones th at r ’ } ton n 0 conditi be for putting long.” remarked significant wink. exclaimed Joshua, another of the ime, his “int,” and “S'pose we allows, just for the sake o' argyment, as she is a widder.” “Then,” sald Joe, slowly and phatically, “my advice Is 'ook It.” Joshua Jebbings quitted the Ham and Chicken strung up to the piteh of giving his landlady a week's notice. By the time he reached the corner of his road his resolution was oczing fast; there was hardly a vestige of it left as he ralsed the latch, The first thing that met his too con- scious gaze was Mrs, Potter. “If it's all the same to vou," put in Mr. Jebbings, with considerable trepi- dation, “if It's all the same to you, I U'm thinking of leaving you this day week if—if no objection,” he conclud- ed lamely. “Bless us and save us all!” exelaim- ed Mrs. Potter. “Goo—good night,” answered Mr. Jebbings, executing a retrograde move- ment in the direction of the stalrease; em- per.” “Here, you come back" The words floated after him, and had the effect of making him quicken that’s over,” he as he bolted himself in. “I next week was over and done Wonder whether she's tak- “Thank goodness, wish “Somebody's bin and put him up to | this,” reflected the lady. “Well, after all, I dunno's it matters much * * */!

Mr. Jebbings waited anxiously to hear the key Inserted in the lock, but instead there came a thump, and a volee saluting him by name. “Joshua Jebbings, you there?" “Well, that's good,” observed the captive, sotto voce, “how'm I to be anywhere else, I'd like to know, see. ing she'fe bin and locked me In?’ 1 only wish I wasn't.” “Howbelt,” he answered meekly enough. “Yes'm." “Dinner's ready,” was the announce. ment, Mr. Jebbings licked his lips in antiel- pation, “So'm L"” he replied eagerly-—“ready and walting.” “Ready to have the banns put up Sunday?" “Banns!

Then with a burst of decision, “No, I'm Jiggered if I am.” “Very well, then.” And to his horror he heard the step retreating from fhe door and down the stairs to the kitchen, Jobbings gave way to despalr. “So she means to keep me shut up yer tll I give In!

At 4 o'clock the volce of his landlady drew him from between the sheets and lured him to the window. She was talking to a neighbor over the wall, and her words penetrated to his ear with bloodeurd- ling distinctness, “Yes, Mrs, Kirby, you're right, that rain last week have made the peas come on wonderful.

The effect of all this literature on the popular estimation in which the Indian is held has been very great, The popular impressions are entirely erroneous. The Indian was a fighter, Yet war was only an incident of his life. Like any other human being he is many-sided, and he did not always wear his war paint, If he has a re pulsive aspect, there are other sides of his character, and some of them pleasing. If from one point of view he may appear to the civilized man ferocious and hateful, from another he seems kindly and helpful. The sol- dier sees the Indian from one point of view only, the missionary from anoth: er, the traveler from a third, the agent from a fourth. Each of these is im- pressed by some salient feature of his character, yet each sees that one only or chiefly, and the image is imperfect, Hil-proportioned, and misleading.
