CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. {lie Kind You Have Always Bought Signatured C^//j^d^?vt THE RESOURCEFUL MOLE. H? dote A-vrmr With Hnnr When Yon Think You Hnve Hint. "Speaking of quick ami resourceful nnlmtilH, the mole leads easily ho fur ns my experience goes," Bald n man from the country, "and I dare say there are many men who have made observa tions that will coullrm my contention. As you probably know, the inolo plowH In (bo Burface of tho earth, generally making a small rldgc anywhere from two to threo Inches high. He moves with remarkable rapidity oven when the ground lu which he Is borrowing Is hard. When oporatlug In soft ground ho movus along at a surprising galt, i Hut this Is not the point 1 wanted to make. I was thinking of tho remarka bly good hearing of the mole and the en si- with which he can get away Just at the moment when you think you have him cornered. Of course now and thou you can drlvo a spike through the mole before he Is aware of It. If you do you will have to walk as light as a cat and will have to act rtfl quickly ns the same anluiul when the time comes to act. In nine cases out of ten tho mole will hear the Hrst footfall. At once he will quit plowing. He is gone. Search as you may, you cannot Und him. I hove seen men dig for fifty yards, following the ridge and Its off shoots, without tlndlng any other traco of the mole than tho ridge. The mole's hearing is peculiarly keen, and 1 sup pose this Is so because he cannot see. But even more wonderful from my standpoint Is the ease end quickness, with which he gets a way. How does he manage It? Where does ho go? You know, tho element of superstition In my makeup is sjim, and I don't believe in ghosts, but somehow 1 have always Inclined Just a bit to the ghost theory when thinking of tho mysterious antics of those blind burrowers. The mole is more like a ghost In his conduct than anything I have ever known, though, of course, tho mole Is a real and not an Imaginary and mythical thing."?New Orleans Times-Democrat. A MEMORY OF LEE. n? lind Much Dlwritliv of nenrtnff mill lionut>- of I'nco, Boon after the Confederates began to enter the town (Ell?nbethfbwn) 1 met a friend of mine, the son of Dr. Doyle, who told me that his father had Just been sent for to see I.oe and that I might go, too, If I ran as fast as my small legs could carry ine, and wo found the doctor Just starting. Dr. Doyle was a man who had been in communication with the enemy from the beginning of the war, but had so for managed to escape the fate of many Innocent men.

It was on tho Wllllnmsport pike, about -half a mile from the town, that we met Gou erol Lee. He had dismounted and was standing by his horse, a small sorrel more, which, I was told, It was his cus tom to ride on the march. Ills staff whs brilliant lu gold lace, but ho was very simply dressed. No ono could hove seen that man without being greatly Impressed with I he dignity of his bearing and the heautv >.r his face. His hair at this time was almost en tirely white, and those who had Boon him tho year before said he had aged greatly In the short space of time which had olopsod since tho battle ?>f Aniie tam. I could not help thinking of Washington'as I looked nt (hat calm, Bad face. It hns boon said since by those who wore near him that he bad no expectation of conquering tho north and that at the most he only hoped to win o great battle on northern soil In order to affect piddle opinion in Ruropo and lend to tho recognition of tho Southern Confederacy. However that may be, there was nothing about his bearing which looked like a great dope. ?Rev. Dr. I.olghton Park In Century. '?There'll He No I?le."
