trance and parlor windows almost level

numerous small, idle boys always on eX-
ploring expeditions, and here for years
the family dispensed an old-time hearty
hospitality after the most democratic
fashion. to the intense enjoyment of the
superiority here. No danger of the
humblest person ever feeling the slight
est difference of birth, education or
worldly position. Here at last was an
ideal politician with an ideal family. At
least, so thought the masses.
There was one spot in the house, how
ever, where the most rigid laws were
enforced and lavish expenditure in

neatness, order, system. The eXpendi-

and notable cook and housewife, both
of which Mrs. Thurman was in an emil
nent degree.
The judges library, too. was an at
tractive place. But how could a room
be otherwise with its wall covered from
ceiling to floor with choice books? In
those days, it seemed to me, from the
unusual number, that half these books
were in French-a language of which
the judge is fond and with which he is
perfectly conversant. His Office was a
detached building of two rooms standing
near the house in the large yard, a little
way back and protected from the street
and small boys by fence. Here that
perfect quiet and SecluSiOn so necessary
to men of studiouS habits could always
be found.
l have not seen the old place for
years. When last paid visit to Col
umbus the judge had moved
INTO NEW QUARTERS,
having purchased several beautiful city
lots at the corner of Rice street and
Washington avenue (still clinging to the
borders of ''Germany''), where he had
built two pretty houses of brown stone
for himself and his son, Allen W. Thur
man, and it was in his doorway, to
which he had accompanied me saying
goodbye and sending messages to old
acquaintances in the East. that last

of his dear little grandchildren, who
had been playing ON the lawn, ran uI
the steps. He took the child in his arms
with delight and left him bowling ar
adieu, smiling and kissing this child al
at the same time, the very picture oi
happiness and contentment. No wonder
that was astonished to hear that he
had consented to tear himself from al
these home comforts and would once
more be forced into the din of battle
to the very front-as he will be in this
bitter political contest that has already
begun.
Who knows? Perhaps their very
grandchildren, of whom shall have
more to say, were as much in his mind
as his party when he consented to be

A Cordial Greeting.

San Francisco Chronicle
He was a great swell, one of the affa-
bic, polite kind, who had worked all his
life to get the reputation of knowing
everybody. He prided himself on his
tact. and flattered himself he knew ex-
actly the degree of familiarity to extend
to any given degree of life. He was a
great card in the best society. He never
made any mistakes; when he was not
quite sure who it might be he relied
upon his instinct. He was walking in
great state down the street, and a quiet,
respectable-looking man, a man with a
solid kind of business air about him, was
coming up. He remembered the face; !;
he was sure he knew him, and he did
hot want to be impolite. The man
looked at him as if the recognition were
mutual. That was enough. When he
did anything he did it with all his heart.
He stopped and held out his hand, and
his grasp was full of cordiality. 'How

he was admitted to the bar, then became
private secretary to Gov. Lucas, after

supreme judge of Ohio, finally taking
his seat in the United States senate,

If only my mother knew
How my heart is hurt within me,
She would take my face in her tender hands
And smooth my cheek, as she used to do
In the days that seem so long ago,
When childish tears were quick to flow;
She would smooth my face with her tender
hands
If she felt the grief within me.
If only my lover knew
OF the surging, passionate sorrow,
He would hold me close to his sturdy breast
AS once he held me the long hours through.
When we had not learned to live apart
But leaned for love ON each others heart;
He would hold me close to his heaying
breast,
If he guessed my passionate sorrow.
But it pierces me like a knife
To think they do not know it;
To think they could look in my pleading

Yet never question my hidden life;-
Can touch my lips in the same old place
Yet never look for the soul in my face.

Military Execution in Austria.

LONDON times.
A soldier named Michel Schmidt was
hanged yesterday morning in the Alser
barracks of Vienna for the crime of
willful murder. Executions of this
kind being very rare in Austria, it may
be noted that Schmidt was hanged amid
somewhat fanciful military cere-
monial. The infantry company to
which he belonged was drawn up in a
square around the gallows, two adju-
tants went through the comedy of ap-
plying to the general in command OF
the army corps for a pardon, which the
latter had no power to grant, and. after
the man had been hanged, a general
salute to the corpse was ordered, after
which followed a prayer.
The convict was ruffian of the worst
description, who had tried to throw
upon comrade the blame for the crime
which he had committed. His death
struggles lasted three minutes, which is
comparatively short time under the
system of hanging by strangulation
which is practiced in this country. A
man who was hanged at Trieste the
other day struggled nine inmates.
