The squad that Promptly Gathers to
Reet the PhilanthrOpist at his
store.
''It's mystery how the beggars find
out when Peter Cooper is coming to
his store" said Burling slip store
keeper, "but they do find out. Isome-
times think they have scouts watching
every avenue of approach, so as to be
sure and catch him. The news that
he has arrived seems to spread by tele-
graph, for the beggars gather instantly.
They hang around the corners, lounge
on the doorsteps, obstruct the door
ways, and loiter Ia the store, some
times as many az twenty or thirty OF
them. It makes little difference that
he has no regular time for visiting the
store; the mendicants are sure to be
there, as If he had summoned them ali
by special dispatch. They are gener-
ally hard looking lot, and some OF
them are decidedly of the class that
bar-keepers bounce from their free
lunch rooms. Occasionally Mr..

will not have his visitors elected.
"When, therefore, The philauthropist
goes out to his coupe he is obliged to
run the gauntlet of as hungry set Of
mortals as ever babe anybody good
day with wistfui look. He takes it
all in good part. Before leaving his
office he provides himself with change,
and many OF his persistent we'll wishers
get rewarded. 0nce, to friend who
demonstrated with him for permitting
himself TO be pestered with these beg
gars, Mr.. Cooper said that he was not
annoyed by them; that it really pleased
him to be able to give them so much
ioy by what to him was trifling gift,
and that after all they generally want
ed only the price of dinner or a
lunch.

mas for many years consisted Of beg
ging letters, and he has ample oppor-
tunity to give away his entire fortune

ages a great city stood on tho plain

temples only, however, were at Hissar
lik, while its lower quarters extended
in an eastern, southern and western
direction along the plateau denomin-
ated at a subsequent period Novum

scription of the sacred Ilios. | have
further demonstrated afresh that the
ruins or the Bah Dagh are compare
lively modern, and that the claims of
the latter to be regarded as the site of
the ancient Hemeric Troy have utter

apparent that the two tummul ascribed

later than the Trojan war, while the
tumulus ascribed by tradition to Pro

"Ihe King Sleeps,

Cetewayo is every inch king, little
barbaric perhaps. During a windy
night he draws his court around him
in his cabin. He himself lies in his
bunk in his robe de chambB. His
cousin, the two counselors, doctor, and
the native interpreter are seated around
the cabin. The king chats pleasantly
to all, inquiries affectionately after
their bodily condition, and enjoins his
"medicine man" to look after the
health of his mobiles. All this time the
eourtiers are silent as the grave. The
shades of the night steal through the
little cabin until there is little to be
seen but the keen eyes flashing. The
king grows uneasy, the Falstaffian voice
becomes more labored, and anon the
king sleeps. Thereupon the court
breaks up, and its members steal off
with the silence of cats, least they
should wake their monarch. | myself

conveyed in the brief proclamation,

moment the king is particularly wide
awake. It was so when the governor
of Madeira, relenting of his sudden
departure, returned to the Arab and
intimated his wish to see Cetewayo;

thing of beauty, was as averse to sitting
for her picture as in a pickpocket who
is given free ticket at the photograph

Shortly before the death of the great
novelist the artist Princess Louise
finding herself seated near her sc con

ABOUT three weeks ago s Glasgow
artist, named Robert McEwan, was
drowned at Kirkwall on o Sunday
while alone. The finding of his body
some time after the occurrence was
the first intimation anyone had of the
sad event. The theory that accounts
for the drowning is strange one.
McEwan was fond of walking ON a
neighboring cliff, and it is suppose
that in one of his walks he missed
footing and fell into the sea. The d
lance he must have fallen in that ca
is about two hundred feet.
