ways to work in that it frequently disagreed
with the business projects of his neighbors,

The men’s oddity; wording to the vil-

let well‘ enough alone. With many of his

as impervious to a hint as a railroad meg-

For a day or two grief and court plaster
caused Parkln's face to assume an unwanted

he detected his wife in the act of being very

bid for two or threc'idays little time to do
anything but snub visitors who were deter-
mined to find out something about her hus-
band’s latest queer move. ‘
Meanwhile, Perkin was spending most of
his time in telling himself what a fool he was
for going to New York to look for one person
among more than a million. He began by

visited the Bible House, the Central Park-

Then he advertised in the newspapers
that an» old friend of Mr. Joseph Waters,of
Dillton, would like to see the young man at

“ Matter enough i" said Mrs. Perkin, with

than to sit there and tease her about him.”

Perkin looked at the clock, and said:
“ He can‘t have got off yet; there’s been no
train since then, though theri' onedhsg‘,
about now. Good-bye, old lady.
“ Judah,” shouted Mrs. Perkin at the
retreating figure. “don’t make a fool of

As Perkin approached the station he
quickened his stopskfor .jha saw. the. train-
advancing rapidiy‘tiorn one direction; iwhils‘
from another came Joe Waters, bag in hand.
The train and Joe arrived at about the same
time ; Perkin, by runninzr reached the ate.

“ To the devil l" was the prompt response.
“What?" exclaimed Perkin.
' “ To New York, I mean,” said Joe. ,
“ That’s about the same thing, I suppose.”
replied Perkin, with a groan. “Coming.
back this week i" . " '
“ No; I’m never coming back,” said Joe,
with great emphasis.
“ Give me your address," said Perkin,
hastily taking a pencil and an old letter from
his pocket; “I want you to do something
for me while you’re there."
“ I don't want to do anything for any-
body," replied Joe, hurrying into the car.
which already was moving, and slamming
the door behind him.
Perkin ran beside thetraln, seized “A!!!“

was evidently walking on tip-toe, which
struck Parkin- as not indicating good intent,

tog—Rubber shoes, were ndbeless. He was
within arm’s length of the moving figure
when suddenly the fellow raised and drew
but both his hands, as if to clutch the
thrust of the silent shape ingront of him.».;

axtricated himself, from the beep and flew
away like a deer.

bottom arose at almost the same instant.
The younger man turned quickly and rushed
savagely at Perkin; a‘a he did so the old man
exclaimed:
“ Joe Waters, or Pm a saint l”
5.35 Squire ”Perkin, as I’m a sinner 1" said
tide, dropping back a step. “ Why—where
"-‘-what--what have you been doing ?"
“ Well, Joseph, I. came to town to find a
Christmas present for the schoolma’m, and I
guess I've found it. Just in time, seeing
tomorrow will be Christmas. Come along 1"
“ Nonsense,” said Joe, drawing back.
“ Come along," continued Perkin, “ 'twon’t
reach her in time,.if you don't hurry. ”
“ suppose I'refuse,” said Joe, aulkily.
“ Refuse ? Well, Joseph, I’ve got my
muscle up within the past five minutes, and
if you make me any trouble I shall consider
it my duty, for Jennie’s sake, to give you a
good drubbing. How would that meet
your views ?" _ . 3 _
Joe made no answer. Perkin looked at
his watch; it was half-past ten.
" In an hour and five minutes, Joseph,"
continued Perkin, “ a train will start for
,Dillton. I moveTwe take it.’_' 3
= In ii quarter ofjan hour both men were on
their weary way to the Grand Central Depot,
and just as daylight dawned they got oi the
train stiDillton. Joe extended his hand and
said: . ,
"_Squire,.-you'.ve helped. a fool out of a,
great 3dei’l “Qt; trouble; how can I repay
you i" _ ..
~ “ By comingrightalongfihome withsne."
And, seizing Joe as an officer would a priey
nner, the old man dragged the youth along,
took him into the house, seated him in the
parlor,and hurried to the dining-room, where
two women were as much amazed, at his
appearance as if he' had suddenly arisen from
the grave.
“ Where have you been .all this while,
Judah,” demanded Mrs. Perkin, after sup-
pressing a desire to hug her husband'sbead
almost off. _ , _
“After Christmas presents,” said the old
man. “ Come and see." He took Jennih’s
band, led the girl to the parlor, pushed her
in, and shirt the door. He listened'only a
.mnd'; then the flow to his wife and whirled
that astonished woman aboutthe dining-
_room in a' mad waltz, to the;great dmnorali-
nation of chairs, and the table. Finally, he
stopped and whispered :
“ I brought him back." .
“I knew you would,” said Mrs. Perkin,
.ihsi oveel hair.»
And the people of Dillton wonder to this
day why Perkin went to New York, and
' why he never afterward said anything about
his-trip. But as they told one another,
Perkin always was queen—New York Hour.

Station as, last'as possible,'this biting the only ;

steamer No. 4, had-a narrow escape, the
building: falling downp‘on ' him with ‘a fearful
crash. He was dragged out from a heap" of
hot plates of galvanized iro'n cornices. In a
very short time ' the buildings. fronting on
.Water street began to burn. These. were at
once protected by steamers; At one time
there were six persons hanging from one
window‘sill of the fifth story at the saute
time, crying. in. agonizingtonesfor the help
that could both! rendered them. ' Chic after.

their fate. one man by lettinghimsclf down
'at arms length from thejfift'h story window
put his feet through a. windowbelow, and
reached the fourth floor in safety. V. The op-
eration Was repeated until the third floor was
reached.- Each point-gained in his perilous
descent was greeted with-encouraging cheers.
from the bystanders. As he was putting his
feet through the top of the second story
winde his hands slipped from the sill above
and with awild shriek he fell backwards,
turning Overeeversl times and striking his
head on? the pavement. He was mangled
beyond, recognition. The heat was so intense-
that the cupola on the Chamber of Commerce
opposite began to smoke. ,At the morgue
was a horrible sight. Two small biei‘s Were
soon filled with dead bodies tightly packed.
Boys, men and girls were laid promiscuously
on the stone floor almost in a _heap by the
police patrol. As early as 6:30 there were
eeventeenbodieslyingthere. ,At the Central
police ofilce the?» injured ' were received.
Another mangsvho jumped from the fifth
story struck the telegrapbwires on Michigan
street, bounded up and came. down a mang-
led mass of flesh and bones. A number of
people dropped out of the different stores
into the canvas awning, but in a majority of
cases they were killed outright or sustained '
injuries which leave little hope of recovery.
During‘ the progress of the fire two men
appeared at a window in ,an upper stol'lfr and
as they looked down on the scene below _the
floor of the room gave way, and with'uu
agonizing acreanr they fell backward into
the vortex of flames. Avon Johnson and
his wife sprang from the fifth story. 2‘ llc
was’caugbtiu jumping in the cams, but
sustained injuries from which he died at six
o‘clock this morning. His wife struck on
the telegraph wires and bounded over and
was also caught in the canvas but was so '
badly injured that she only survived her bus-
band about an hour.
While these scenes were being enacted on
the Broadway and the Michigan sides of
the building, one of still greater horror was
taking place in the alleys in the rear. The
scrvants’ quarters were in the northwest
part of the hotel. Those who appeared on
the scene did all they could to rescue the
bewildered guests and a great many were
taken out of the _front entrance and from a
small balcony running along‘tlie Broadway
side of the building. But on the south and
west sides the scenes were dieadful. Patrol
wagons were filled/with bodies seven min-
utes after their arrival at the scene. EVen
the sidewalks were covered with bodies.
The; great loss of’life is not from burning but
from frightened peeps jumping from the
windows. Edward Bullock of Lancaster,
Wis., a guest, was awakened by the breaking
of a transom light and the flames bursting
into his room. He escaped by a quilt rope
and left his vest, a gold watch and $35 be-
hind him. .The serVants‘ quarters were re-
.mote from the quarter in which the flames
were raging, but all means of escape by the
stairvfiys were cut off by the flames. As the
terrible roaring and crackling of the flames
fell upon their ears they became _pauic
stricken, and eight of them followed each
other in leaping from the dizzy height to the
ground in the alley. The jumping canvass
was at hand, but it was-powerless in the
conflict with death, and was'clotted over
'with the victims’ blood. At this juncture
the cooll’ied hero of the day appeared on
the top of the building opposite the servants’
quarters with aladder in his hand. For a
moment the long unwieldly thing was poised
in the air and then descended with a crash
through thewindow of the hotel. Then,
maid the cheers'of the multitude the daring
man dragged the helpless creatures across
the slight bridge, till fully a dozen were res
cued. They were all of them in their night
clothes, and many of them were badly frozen
before they could be taken to shelter. A
woman inn dcad‘faint; unable ‘to help her-
self in any way, was dragged. over the
bridge. " "
The hotel had a frontage of 200 feet
on Broadway and 150 feet on Michigan
streetmpd contained a dining room which
seated 800 people. At the time of its erec-
tion, over twenty years ago, it was the larg-
..est hotel property in Wisconsin and was for
several .years regarded as one of the wonderi-
of the city. Later the Plankintou house
rivaled it. It contained ubout175 rooms and
was the oldest house in the city but has not
been a profitable investmentfor the past few
years. {Itwiis run by J; C. Antisdell &3Son

a . The scene at .the morgue was sickening
and horrible. There are now 30 or more
bodies there and the total number of lives
lost is estimated at 100.: A uumherof bodies
are still in' the smoulderingruins, and every
effort is being made to’ fiescue them from
total annihilation. The scene in the streets
since the fire, has beenheart-rending in the
extreme as they were filled with excited
citizens eager to see the terrible work of
ruin, and relatives and friends, who were
hunting for lost cues. General Tom Thumb
and wife are safeghe having got out through
the frouc'genti‘anceiiaml. his. wife being
brought down the fire escape by a fireman.
The' Madison Square Theatre company,
though having a narrow escape, all are safe.
'Tlie fire department ‘callEd for assistance
from the‘Soidiers' Home, but General Sharp
refused to send the engine. at which there is
general indignation- The Chicago and Racine
relief steamers arrived, but not until the fire
was under control.
Cnroaco, January 10.-A- Herald special
from Milwaukee dated 10p. m. says: Mil-
waukee does not yet know the full extent of
the calamity which overtook it at 4 o’clock
this morning, when the Newhall house was
burned and somewhere in the neighborhood
of one hundred persons were sacrificed to its
faulty construction. As the first alarm was
sounded the sight which met the gaze was
something which never will be forgotten.
Even the whole interior of the building ap-
peared to be ablaze. From the windows on
every floor of the house the inmates were
leaning out and screaming for soccer. The
fire appeared to be close behind them and
forbade any attempt to reach safety by the
only two stairways which the house was
supplied with. Scores of persons were seen
to approach the windows and stretch forth
their hands to the open air but suddenly drop
back or disappear asthough caught by a draft
of flame.

A Western Congressman tells the follow-
ing anecdote concerning Secertary Lincoln
to a correspondent of the Cleveland Leader :
"A boy in my district had enlisted in the
Regular Army and wanted a discharge. The
circumstances of his enlistment were pecu-
liar. He had been going to school at Dela-
ware College, in Ohio and had received a
note from home that his father had failed
and that he must come home as best he could
and at once. He was out of money. His
family could send liim ncne. He knew the
family had nothing at home and starvation
and trouble were staring him in the face.
He sterted to walk home, but as be got nenr
Columbus n recruiting ofilcer met him and in
i. fit of dispuir he enlisted- He was sent
West at once and had been in the Army now
three years and his conduct had been so fa-
vorable that he was uow‘grhnted a forty days’
furlough. I told the story to the War Sec-
retary. He said: ‘I would like todliscbargc
him and I will if I can, butI don’t think
there is any hope. Desertions are so numer-
ous that we cannot grant any more dischar-
ges, it is against the principles of the depart-
ment.’ _ 1
“I then reminded him that these desertions
were largely due to the insults which the
“But,’ said he, ‘I can't help that. I have
nothing to do with West Point.
“Yes; replied I, ‘but this man you can
discharge. He has done his duty foi- three
yeiir‘s. A high-strung, sensitive'sud cultured
young man, he has borne the cuffs and abuse
and has acted so well under them that he is
granted a furlough for good conduct. If
you want to keep him in the army you can
do so. Hexwill staudit or die. He is too
honorable to \desert, and he will go back to
suffer and to work.” -
“The Secretary looked. up and. said em-
phatically, ‘N o, I will discharge him,’ which
as did. When he made the remark he look-
ed like his father and the act reminded me
of old Abe."

The Baby’s Hand.
' , Mrs. Arnold was showing a friend through
her putty new house, which was undergoing
u second and final cost of inside paint, and
gave promise of bclng as aesthetically beauti-
ful as the decorative fervor of the age de-
manded, the color being a delicate shell pink,
like the inside of a rose.
“Isn’t it lovely,” said Mrs. Arnold admir-
ingly to her friend. “You see this is an
least room, :i.d so it is to have the tints of
the morning. Some might think it too deli-
, cats for every-day use, but I shall make that
: very delicacy-a means of education. I have
taught baby ulrcady’that she cannot touch it.
Come here, dimple ”—to the little one tod-
dliug behind her. “ Baby won’t touch the
pretty paint."
“Baby won’t," cooed'the little one in its
sweet idiom, and giving it a kiss and an
admiring Cill'L'SS the young mother pointed
out 10 her friend the beauty of the window
embrssure and the view it commended;
-“ I shall sit here Summer afternoons with
baby. Won‘t it be lovely? Lace curtains
within and green vines without. It will be
a picture and a poem both.” ‘
And they strolled on, leaving the two.
year-old baby looking with far-seeing eyes
through the pretty window, and it was not
the may tint of the paint nor the flush of
healthy childhood. that spread slowly over
the little face and sent a tired little head to
seek in vain for rest on its mother’s bosom.
All thought of tile tributaries of benuly or
art passed from the mind of lil‘.’ young
mother as she saw her darliug‘s fever flushed
face, and slit: lucked the beautiful east mom
and left it to the gloom and solitude until
inc crisis “as paisi i
“ And His dear little hands, like rose lz-uves
1)anin :2 from a rose, lay still,
Never to which at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill."
Yes, it came to that, and an awful empti-
ness of all life, and then a hard, rebellious
acquiescence in the decree of fate, and one
bright day the mother went into the pretty
east room, and, with her friend, lived over
that day when they had last stood there, and
looked with exceeding bitterness on the
tinted color that was to have made all her
Summer bright, and what could brighten it
now P '
Ah, me ! how strange that when the voice
of redeeming love says:' “My peace I give
unto you,” we wi have none of it. If Mrs.
Arnold had read on the walls in letters of
light, “ Let not your heart. be troubled,” she
would never have heeded, and when her
friend, pointing through the window to the
blue sky'beyond, said, tcndcriy,trusting1y,
“She is safe,”. the mother cost down her
heavy, tear-dimmed eyes, and with a cry of
joy kissed again and again one single blemish
in the smooth painting of the window sill.
W hat was it ? Only the clear dead hand of
her baby imprinted there—the little hand
which had been laid one moment on the wet
paint that bad molded it into this perfect
shape, and that now seemed to point and
beckon the way she had gone; a baby’s sin-
less hand that would some day be reached
out to welcome her——
“ With the light of heaven thereon.”

Four Furnished Flies.
A German satiiist has produced the fol-
lowing fable, of which the application is
apparent :
“There were once four flies, and, as it
happened, they were hungry one morning.
f‘iic first settled upon sage of singularly
nppetrzmg ftppt‘i‘ri'llmL’, and made a hearty
meal. 15m. lic speedily died of intestinal in-
flummution, for the sausage was adulterated
with aniline. The sccond fly breakfasted
upon flour, and forthwith succumbed to con-
nection hi" the stomach; owing to the inor-
dinate (llllilliliy of alum with which the flour
uud‘becu. adulteratetl. The third fly was
_ «inking leis thirst with the contents of the
milk jug, when violent cramps suddenly
couvulsed his frame, and he soon gave up
one ghost, 21 VlCilm to chalk udulteratiou.
Seeing this, the four: ii fly, muttering to him»
