Ile was oyitlently sie'r. and weary unto death, but still he tottered pi rsistontly on. At length, his last .ounce of strength gone, he fell and lay there in the mud, unable t" lise. His father and mutil er glanced back at him stolidly and went on. Their own strength would be hardly suflici'int t<> carry them to caiL'p and sullenng bad dulled tlurir sensibilities. If he could not keep up In* must die where he fell. Lieut. Ilrooke dropped from his horse, picked the little fellow up and galloped into camp with him. There he fed him until he could cat no more, wrapped him in warm blankets and left him to the long, dreamless sleep of exhausted childhood. An ohl Cuban woman washed his little cotton shirt and trousers and, after a few days' rest, he was sent back to Kl Caney with a generous supply of provisions. Two days later the little fellow, still weak and pale, again appeared in camp. Going straight to Lieutenant Brooke, he took a small chicken from inside his little shirt and, with tears iu his eyes, presented it. It was thc only thing he could give him, he said, to show his appreciation of thc senor's kindness, lie had walked all the-way from K1 Caney through the deep mud aral after he had made his humble present he walked back. Lieut. Brooke took the chicken to (?en. Shaftcr and told its story. The ( i encrai tethered it to his tent pole. When he entered Santiago he took the bird with him. There her nightly roost was a glided chandelier in the Governor's palace. When thc army moved out to camp again the chicken went too. Later she journeyed to Montauk Point, thence to Governor's Island, and now she struts and scratches, and cackles contentedly in San Francisco, a living reminder of a deed of mercy, a pathetic acknowledg ment of thc gratitude with which at least one little reconcentrado will al ways recall las Americanos. mm > !?? -- A Witty ?lind Mau. A showman was making a great noise at the front of his exhibition of thc wonders he had to show. A man stand ing in the crowd, with a little boy be side him, cried out: "I'll bet you a sovereign you cannot let mc sec a lion." "Done," said thc showman, eagerly, "put up your money." Tim man placed a sovereign in thc hand of a bystander nod thc showman did the same. ''Now, walk this way," said the showman, "and I'll soon convince you. There!" said he, triumphantly, "look in that corner at that beautiful Numidian lion." "I don't sec any," responded tho other. "What's the matter with you?" ask ed thc showman. * "I'm blind," was tho reply; and in a few minutes thc blind man had pocketed thc two sovereigns and went away. Suicide. Most <>f us would be astonished to know how many of the people who ar.1 wal ki mr ubout and eating and sleep ?rig. talking and working in.?very com munity ba vc committed - ucide. liy Divine ami human law and thc general verdict of society tri. . -aun; man who take- bis own ? l.ysieal life bas committed a crime. The act is re garded as cowardly, for il is Hight from the burdens and resp .risibilities ? and suffering which are tl. eouiinon lot of man. Vet there is a cowardice baser than that of the tuan who lays violent hands on himself, ai d suicide even more criminal. This i - the moral suicide of the mau who givi - up, sur* renders, abandons his bop' md pur pose* The temptation to this. . iiic.nl? is , constant and strong, lt i- -o easy to I -top, -o hard to gd on. -o . t--, ? . per. -na jo "iii -elves that lin >? i-taeh - cati 1 not i>'- vercome, that tin; i-jads arti be yond i '?r st 11 ngtjt, - ? bard ami pa i of ul j t" strugglit forward.

A profn md philosopher who wrote a great nove! sai?! that t!..- .T.:.t. t borer of suicide lo bim was that ibo awfully enlightened soul might, i III - mediately al ter its.'eiif ..e. d Hight.froni i be body, come to knot" thal the act that drove it forth was iinncces-ary, that the moment next following would have brought rescue and relief. Iii that thought there is the wisdom of an eternal truth. No man can know what. i> before bim. The hours hu rrj' to us in an endless procession and we do not know what that one next beyond us may be bringing us. lb cause that is true every suicide is folly, every surrender is a premature and unneces sary act of cowardice and weakness. The d-ay.s of miracles are past, but the unexpected and uuforseen con tinue to happen. There is always rea son to hope und to try because wc di? not know what the future fast be coining the present may bold. .When we have given Up and have committed suicide by telling ourselves that strug gling and effort aro useless, and bj ceasing from both thc opportunity that may come can not help us. It is our duty to bold to our faith in ourselves, to keep to our purposes, examine ourselves honestly, laying bare our bear's and reviewing lives with careful impartiality-which many of us live to old agc and die without thc courage to do even once. Wc will usually find that we really have not done the best wc could, that we have not used all our strength and capacity, lt is never too late to try again, to go again at the obstacles, to struggle again with thc burden. The first and the hardest fight is always, of course, with ourselves and our own shortcomings and faults. We can al ways fight them; and as we lop them off or bt-at them down the external obstacles will look easier, thc loads will lighten. In no case has any man the right to abandon hope or to relinquish purpose. When he says that he can not bc bet ter than he is and ceases from trying to be better bc is a moral suicide, a coward and a weakling. When bc abandons his purpose or hope or ambi tion he simply abandons tb? fight with himself and kills his higher in stincts and qualities that his baser and weaker elements may ? rcvail over him. - Greenville News, Irish Wit.
