The late Charles Gossage, of Chicago, was
for many years one of the leading dry goods
dealers in that city. His store was well
known by the two big iron lions that stood
Just outside the main entrance. These were
lost, with the store and stock in the great lire
and were not replaced whom the new store was
built until one day an old lady walked in and
inquired 4" the way to Gossage's.' She had
been hunting for the two lions all over the
city, but in vain. Mr. Gossago w once or
dered new ones to be made and sot up in
front Of the new store.

Of practically convincing any thorough

Enoch Arden'S True Story.

[Cincinnati Saturday Night.l ..t
When Enoch Arden came home, after
that memorable and disastrous voyage,
which shipwrecked him and his hopes,
he crept up the street to his old home,
as Tennyson informs US, and looked in
the window. There he saw Phillip Raw
and Annie, his wife, and their child. ali
seated around the hearth cracking wal
nuts.
The whole bitter truth came upon
him with terrible force. Annie, n
ing Enoch to be dead, had married Phil

child, and q man about the house in case.
of trarnps. 1t was a sad coming back fol.
Enoch, and he was mad about, 1t. not
so much because Phillip had married
his wife,, for there were plenty more
wives to be had; not because his child
had learned to cali another man "pa,"
though that was a,bitter pill, inasmuch
as the child looked a little like Phillip
any how. "'F5 ' ~ N7H't
Neither of these things worried him
bali so much as to note that Phillip was
wearing his (Enoch) clothes. With a
menacing gesture .Enoch was just about
to dash into the house and nnnihilata
them, when suddenly the anger in his
countenance YVES. supplanted by a look
Of terror and he SUNK away as silently
as he had come. He had caught sight
of Annie g mother, who during Enoch's
absence had broke up housekeeping
and come over olive with her daughter,
and had became a fixture there.
Enoch told some of the boys after
wards that it was the narrowest escape
of his life, and that he would rather be
shipwrecked every five minutes than to-
anrnnnter hta m0ther-in-law.

for a whole year his bed was never
made, and WIS widowed with perspira-
ton. 81 was tired out with each DAYS
work." he said, "and lay down and
knew no more" But things were get
tinginto order again in the Electorate.
The parishes were provided with Pas
tors, and the Pastors with modest wages.
Luther was Professor at the University,
and the Elector allowed him a salary OF
200 gulden a year. Presents came from
other quarters, and he began to think
that it was not we'll for him to be alone,
In Wittenburg there was a certain
Catherine Won Bora, l6 years younger
than he, who had been a nun in a dis
lant convent. Her family were noble
but poor; they had provided for their
when she was a child of .; at l6 she had
detested the life into which she had
been forced, and when the movement
began she had applied to her friends to
take her out oft. The friends would
do nothing; but in April, 1923, she and
nine others were released by the peo-
pie. AS they were starving, tLuther
collected money TO provide Tor them,
and Catherine Won Bora, being then 81
| years old, came to Whittenberg to re-
side with the Burgomaster, Philip
~Reichenbach, Luther did not at first
like her; she was not beautiful, and he
thought she was proud of her birth and
! blood; but she was n simple, sensible,
shrewd, active woman; she, in the sense
in which Luther was, might consider
herself dedicated to God. and was u fiji
wife for a religious reformer. Luther's
own father was most anxious that he
should marry, and in Il short time they
came to understand each other. So on
the 18th of June, 1925, a month after
| Munzer had beer stamped out at
Frankenhausen, a little party was col

Martin Luther's Marriage.

In priesthood and monkery he had
ceased to believe. If the orders them
selves were unreal, the vows to repect
the rules of those orders might fairly be
held to the nugatory. Luther not only
held that the clergy, as a rule, might be
married, but he thought it far better
that they should be married, and the,
poor men and women, who were turned
ladrift on the breaking up Of religious
houses, he had freely advised to marry
without fear or scrunle. But still
around q VOW q certain imagined scantity
persisted IN adhering, aud when he was
recommended to set an example to 9TH
ers who were hesitating he considered,
and his friend, Melancthor, considered,
that, in his position, and with so many
indignant eyes turned upon him, he
ought not to give occasion to the enemy.
Once, indeed, imp~tiently, he said that
marry he would to spite the devil. But
he had scarcely a home to offer to any
woman, and no leisure and no certainty
of companionship. He was for some
years after the Edict of Worms in con-
slant expectation of being executed as a
hereto. He still lived in the Augustin-
ian convent at Wittenherg: but the
monks. had gone and there were no
revenues. He had no income ofhis own,

years; the Elector at the end of them
gave him a piece of cloth for another.
The publishers made fortunes out of his
writings, but he never received a fori!

Arthur'S OpportUni,y.

President Arthur is known among his
friends, says the London World, to be q
man of great courage and decision of char
acter. What a blessing it would be for
him if he had courage enough to break
up the habit of presidential hand-shak.
ing! He would do more for his country
if he made the habit Of hand shaking I'M
popular in the United States than If he con-
quered a foreign foe in war. This intol-
eruble nuisance is spreading all tho time.
If you meet an acquaintance twenty times
o day, you are liable to offend him. if you
do not shake his hand. In heavens rame
what use is it2 1t means nothing, and, if
you think about it minute or two, it is, as
q "ronliscuous practice. disagreeable in the
extreme. But it is simply disgusting to a
president. Gen. Grant has frequently had
his arm famed for days with hand shaking,
and sometimes his hand was swollen twice
its usual size. MI. Huyes is the only pres
ident Who was never similarly afflicted. Mr..
Arthur will probably sometimes have at his
levees 506H persons. for his administration
will be socially brilliant, a We all hope it
will be politically strong. To think of his
shaking 5000 hands big, fat, thin, palsied,
hard, sweaty, strong, weak, dirty. stiff,
fnbby and a dozen other varleties-in a
single evening is enough to send one to St.
Elizabeth. The personal friends of Mr..
Arthur will surely be glad if he reforms the
practice altogether. an
