George Francis Train, philosopher
and philanthropist, sauntered through
the bright sunshine Of Madison Square
,,ne afternoon last week, with troop
Of merry children at his heels. In
either hand he carried big cluster
pf roller skates. He sat down at
length beside one of the fountain
grass plats, and began to distribute
the skates in pairs to the eager child
rem. They fitted them on in atwlnk-
ling, and the philosopher sat and
watched the youngsters skate on the
asphalt walks. When they were tired
they took the skates off, brought them
ba, with voice of thanks, and the
philosopher sauntered back home in
the gathering twilight, happy and
heavy laden. Every pleasant day he
goes through the same kindly routine,
changing the toys as they come in
season. Children and the sparrows
are the only living beings he will
sneak to now. If an adult addresses
him, he will sometimes take out a

will never utter syllable. The child

armed with popguns, probably only a
little more useful than Roach's Dol
